INCREASING THE CIRCULA.
TON.

Some people keep saying: ''Oh,
there is plenty Of money in the United
States, plenty of it,
If this Is true, the nation is suffering
from congestion.
Congestion, you know, in a man,
means that he has all his blood yet. but
it is heaped up, dangerously, in parts
Of the body and withdrawn from other
parts. No one desires physical conges-
tion, except for his enemies, as it Is
very dangerous. No friend Of the peo-
pie desirea financial congestion. But
there are those who can and do pro-
duce it. Their power to do SO is much
greater as the volume of money de-
creases.
Remedy: Increase the volume of
currency up to the highest safety point.
Then the enemies of the people are
sho-n of much of their unholy power.

A SERIES Of military tests has been
made in Germany to determine the
speed of bicycles rs compared with that
Of horses. In covering a distance of
thirty-two miles two cavalry officers
rode against two infantry officers
mounted on bicycles. The latter &C.
complished the journey in 215 minutes
and 80 minutes. respectively, while the
two lieutenants on horseback arrived
at their destination seven minutes be-
fore the first bicycle rider. Over .
course Of twenty-five miles the same
result was obtained, the riders arriving
few minutes in advance Of the bicy-
clists- In both cases the cavalry officers
only rode at gallop for the first fifteen
minutes Of the journey, while the bicy-
ciists went at full speed all the way.

The rush for lands in Oklahoma is
like the rush for stocks in Wall street.
For the few who want the land and the
stocks for permanent investment there
are thousands who want to speculate

GOLD.

By worshiping the Golden Calf
idolatrously, the backs!iding Israelite
brought curse upon them. Yet curs'
though it.was, its entire consequence.
we're inconsiderable as compared will
results of a similar worship Of the 'yel
low metal il recent times.
A certhin famous man has said thai
"Gold Is Gods money" He does moi
mean that, in the Exchequer of Heav
en-, it is taken in and paid out on tn,
same principles as in the Exchequer oi
England or the Treasury cf the United
States; but that it is beautiful, prec
ious metal, always sought after by men
and always possessed Of great, intrinsic
value. Hence, peculiar metal, out.
rivalling all others.
Some facts, as a substitute for the
foregoing poetical nonsense;
The gold Of the civilized world,
available as money, does not exceed q
billions.
The population of the civilized ma
tions is more than one half a billion.
Hence the gold money is less than
IS per capita.
Danish silver, and you woulO have a
totally insufficient currency, unjustiia-
bly, and ruinously small.
Silver was long on a parity with gold
that is, Is ounces of silver worth one
of gold; according to the, then. proper
tions, silver was then almost too valua-
tle for coinage.
Until ls45, the United States pro-
duced, altogether, less than J million
Of silver and only 24t millions Of gold.
The population then was l8 millions.
Gold and silver, all the native pro-
duct, would have supplied less that $3.50
per capita.
The amount which had been coined
was more than seven times the total
American product.
Whence was it obtained?
By trade with foreign countries, their
gold and silver bullion and coin were
brought to the United States. Duties
paid on imports gradually put this gold
md silver into the national treasury.
It passed out through the mints, and
became the coined money of the coun-
Try.
Or, coinage " both metals being |
rec, the owners Of this foreign coin or
million presented it at the mints for
oinags, and took away from the mints
oined money.
But from 1889 to 1889,

IIarbor Master Charles Lawrence,
who is also president of the schoolship
Saratoga, got a cable from jamaica the
other day telling in code cipher of the
ships arrival with all well on board
He gave it out to the newspapers, but
one man up the state he thought need
ed special notice, and he sent him a
telegram telling him of his sons safe
arrival The man up the state was so
delighted to hear from his boy that he
telegraphed Captain Lawrence. PLEASE
cable Captain Green, of the Saratoga,
asking him to place twenty-five dollars
to my sons account, and charge ex-
penses to me"
Captain Lawrence got out a chart
showing the cable lines of the world
and having a table of tolls to any place
reached by submarine telegraph. He
knew that S1.35 per word was the rate
on Captain Green's message from ia
maica, and writing out a message of in
struction to Captain Green, pursuant
to the fond fathers request, found that
the twenty-five dollars presented by
cable would cost the man up the state
nearly nineteen dollars to send. So he
telegraphed TO the boys parents: 1T

Celestin Kaltenbach, who has just
died at Dubuque, Ia, at the age of
seventy-eight years, apparently had
good grounds for considering himself
the oldest postmaster in the United
States. He was appointed by Presi-

continuously ever since.

starts thence to st. Petersburg In

General George Pearson, ex-Gov-
ernor Beavers private secretary, is an

at Harrisburg he made frequent use of

his friends with cornet solos, Sousa
marches and operate airs One day a
relative Of the same cognomen visited

man, who understood it, started the

edilication. Securing a new cylinder
he told the maid to talk into the tube
She did so somewhat in this vein, Il
love you, George" George kisses her,
and the phonograph records the smack.
''Will you always be constant and
true?" lisped the maid, and another
kiss went on record.
That evening Secretary Pearson took
his wife and party of friends to his
Office. They listened to Levy play the
cOrnet, Gilmore's band, and heard DIR.
Talmage tell of his trip abroad. Then
the luckless secretary placed the cylin-
der used by the lovers on the instru-
ment, . to see what it was, " and heard.

ton Of having killed two men in duels
on the same day. He was a very old

years ago. At the time of the duels he
lived on the line between this state and

ON THE ARCTIC CIRCLE.
Adventures of an Englishman in tho
Frozen Regions of North America.

Adventures of an Englishman in tho
Frozen Regions of North America.
Washburton Pike, an English ex-
plorer, has returned from the Arctic
circle. Leaving Calgary in June, 1889,
Mr. Pike proceeded to Athabasca Land
ing, and from there to Fort Resolu-
ton, on Slave river. Here he secured
the services of two Indian guides and
helpers and started for the barren
lands in search of musk OK, caribou and
other large game. He had a very sue
cessful hunt, killing about forty musk
OK and as many caribou as they were
in position to handle. On that trip
Mr.. Pike went as far north as Fish
river, this being the river on which
Franklin's first expedition to the north
pole was lost. He experienced many
adventures. The party was lost for
fourteen days and endured terrible
sufferings. They started to cross the
Yukon range of mountains to the Pa
cific coast. After journeying for some
twelve days they found that instead of
being, as they supposed, on Mcleod
river, they were on what afterward
guides admitted they were lost, and
nothing remained for the party to do
but retrace their steps, which they did
with but enough provisions for few
days. In two days they were out of
food, and, to make a long story short,
they starved for fourteen days.
Mr.. Pike absolutely refuses to say
anything of their fortunes during the
time, but many facts were cleaned
from those who saw them on their re-
turn to the rapids, and were compelled
to feed them as they would a baby.
AS an example of the terrible state of
affairs, some hundreds of miles were
tramped with bare feet on ice, and
their frozen condition when rescued
was simply terrible, while some of the
party were so reduced from cold and
hunger as to be totally helpless.
When asked to describe the barren
lands Mr.. Pike said that it was an i'm
mense tract of barren rock on which
grew a kind of moss and shrub, on which
deer that run by thousands feed and
appear to be very fond of it.
There are numerous lakes among
rocky bluffs whose waters freeze in the
cold season to the depth of from seven
to nine feet He reports temperatures
as low as 60 dogs. in the winter, but the
summer months, July and August, he
says, are very hot. Six months during
the year the sun never shines on these
barren parts.
Mr.. Pike reports moose very scarce,
but says there are large numbers of
musk OK and thousands of caribou deer
the latter taking to the woods in win
ter. Mr.. Pike is the only white man
who has ever trod the path of the
Franklin sufferers on the Fish river.
Travel during this trip was almost en-
tirely done on foot, dog trains being
used for the carrying of provisions and
wood. The currency is in skins A
skin is valued at fifty cents-Cor.
