The night Was clear. cold and frosty
when our party left cezy psrlor cor

OF them are long enough I seat half

the more crowded streets. the ladies
were offered ride. which they were
not slow t. accept. Gaily We went up
Blenry street, the gentlemen proud OF
their fair burdens, and the ladies quite
sssisfied with their share of the perform
ance. At last We reached the foot of
the mountain, and awav up its snow
covered side We could see the starting
point, marked 10y groups OF pleasure
seekers. while here and there dark
object shot meteor-hke down the steep
slope. OF course the ladies had the
good grace 10 walk up hill. and soon
we stood on the highest point OF
.Fletcher's Field"-as this point of
Mount Royal is called-500 feet above

From sentiments expressed Dy several
Of the supervisors the past day or two
II appears that the project to rebuild
Kent eounty's old jail building 10 in
danger OF being defeated. The
opponents admit the necessities
of the case but argue economy.
The same arguments were brought,
against ths building of the new poor
house, but these economists DO not
take the lees pride Ia the fact that
Kent county now has . decent build
ing in which to shelter It's paupers. not
withstanding each of their eonstitu-
ents pay few cents more taxes. The
question to be decided this week is SIM
ply whether the voters shall be
allowed to express themselves upon
the sutJect next spring, aud certain
OF the board apparently fear to
grant the opportunity. Another side
reason which wac broadly limited all
last week is that the majority on the
board are opposed to anything advo-
Gated by Supervisor Benjamin. who is
chairman of the building committee.
This is at best childish reason, IN
worthy those engaged IN legislanng
for tnis great county. Mr.. Ben
lamin Is not without fault. He
has at times shown an ambition to-
wards bossism, common though not
less reprehenslble in men VINO nave

But what has this t. do with the jail
question? Criticize Mr.. Benjamin If you
will, gentlemen, but by all means give
the people = chance TO say whether
they shall have a decent jail.

rather q complex one; attended person

CURRENCY IN CIRCULATION.

The total amount OF paper money IN
circulation In the United States is put
by the comptroller of the currency at
81 ,074. 49, ,6S4. OF this amount the
largest proportion, or 1892 900. 900, IS
In greenbacks, and 1924, So, 900 is IN
silver certificates. The national bank
notes only amount to Sl12, 4S2 900, or 10
per cent of the total, which shows that
the privilege OF issuing currency by
these banks Is not one of the greatest
Importance or value to them.
Inc comptroller of the currency re-
ports eleven national banks holding
800, 900 in bonds, and with an aggre-
gated capital of & 500. 900, that do not
issue any notee, having surrendered
their circulation. The gold certificates
IN Circulation amount to $l20, 2j5, 900.
The total OF cur paper currency gives
about si3 per capita of paper money In
circulation The amount of gold and
silver IN circulation would OF course
increase this very materially. probably
to an excess OF $50 per head. Should
the popullsts demand that 800 per
capita be liked as the minimum, II
would give boom of imitation that
would distance war times.

NATIONAL ouARANr1Np.
New Orleans Takes Action Looking To-
ward That End.


NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 7.--At meeting
Of the board of health to consider the
question Of national quarantine, all the
members of the board and large num-
Der of representative merchants were
present. The attorney of the board
read lengthy memorial, which was pre-
pared for presentation to congress, pro-
testing against the proposed legislation.
The memorial contains decisions of the
supreme court to show that such a
measure as the one proposed would be
unconstitutional. The memorial con-
tains an extract from paper read in
1856 by Ex-President Holt to the effect
that the establishment of national
quarantine would be intensely hostile
to the interests of Louisiana.
The complete usurpation of power by
the proposed national board is also pro-
tested against as interfering with the
rights of the state boards. 1t is claimed
that the United States can best effect
the purpose desired by fixing uniform
standard and method of fumigation and
disinfection, instituting thorough sys-
tenn of official consular reports from
foreign ports, establishing proper sam
itary and hygienic regulations for the
officers, crews and passengers of vessels,
placing ut convenient points stations
properly equipped for quarantined pas
sengers and by affording the state au'
thorities at all times adequate relief
and assistance
