The Silver Cry Largely Sentimental.
From the Kansas City Star.

The Silver Cry Largely Sentimental.
From the Kansas City Star.
Silver does not appear TO be so much a
money of the people rs it is represent
ed to be. Only about IA per cent Of the
silver dollars which have been coined
are in circulation. The rest are piled up
in the treasury. OF Alb millions which
have been coined only 81 millions are
in circulation. This is less than one dol
lar to each person in the country. 1t IS
almost impossible to believe that the
number can be so small. 1t simply
shows that the banks are working silver
back into the treasury as fast as they
can do so. The number of dollars in
circulation has hardly increased at all in
five years, though in that time the nnm-
Der of dollars coined has increased from
227t million to Alb million. The num-
Der of silver dollars in circulation Is
million less than year ago. Apparently
the popularity of silver as money is
principally i'll the minds of the silver
enthusiasts.

1t is estimated that the worlds popu-
lation is increasing 100000 every year,
despite the famines, floods and other dis
asters in addition to natural causes that
carry away by the million. But there
is lots of room on the old sphere yet,
that depopulating wars are not an abso-
Lutte necessity TO remove the pressure.

1t is stated that Senator Hill is prepar-
ing himself TO make determined fight
in The senate against the river and har-
Dor bill recently passed by the house
This explains the situation. The Hill
supporters in the house urged the pass
age of the bill for the purpose of giving
Hill a chance to pose as champion of
economy by opposing it in the senate.
The log-rollers in the house who wanted
TO placate their constituencies, took adj
vantage of the understanding with Hill
and voted for the bill. though opposing
Hills nomination for president. The
whole thing is of piece with the cow
ardly acts of the Democrats in the Forty
ninth and Fifeth congresses in voting
for private pension bills, knowing THAT
Cleveland would veto them. Both were
acts of selfshness, without regard to
their effects upon others or upon the
public welfare.

told in a smoking-room of a steamer go

the old man. 1.-THE ship struck a part
OF the reef and went down like thun-

Bay, which meant slow roasting alive
as soon as the natives got peep at us.
We were wet, hungry and miserable,
with nothing to stay the pangs of
hunger.
'As daylight dawned saw case
slowly drifting to shore. In a moment
we were all wading and swimming to
secure the treasure. We had it on shore
in no time, and prying it open with our
fingers found it filled with soap. We
bemoaned our hard luck in emphatic
language.
"Close around the case, boys, they're
coming!' 1 shouted, as saw fifty mop
headed savages armed with spears,
bows and arrows, rushing toward us.
At fifteen yards distance they paused,
and their chief came out to talk with
us. / grabbed an arnful of soap tablets
