If the whole amount of money in each coun-
try were stated including that in the Treasury
and in the banks OF England, France and Ger
many, the sums per capita would be about S57
in France, 1886 in the United States, So in
Great Britain and $40 in Germany. The cir
culation in this country in actual use outside
the Treasury, about S24 per capita, is greater
than the whole amount existing per capita in
either Germany or Great Britain. No matter
what mode If comparison may be adopted, the
essential correctness of these conclusions re-
mains.
No one of these comparisons takes into ac-
count, however, the radical difference in modes
of doing business between this and other COun-
tries, which determines the amount of cir
culation needed. In this country more than
nine-tenths of all payments are made in checks
upon National State, private and savings banks
and loan and trust companies. These hold de-
posts which amount TO 1865, 900, 900 in Ma
tional banks, S1,75S, 900, 900 in savings banks
and 81, 1913 900, 900 in State and private banks
and loan and trust companies, in all S4,G7G,-
100000, or about S72 per CAPITA against
which checks are constantly drawn and passed
from hand to hand. The payments made in
this way amounted to more than $1,000 and
probably more than $500 for every inhabi-
tant last year. BY holding about 5000, co.
600 in these banks to meet the balances
daily arising, and by clearing houses at about
eighty cities through which checks and drafts
are constantly made to cancel each other, the
efficiency of the money in circulation is enor-
mOusly increased. No other country has any
thing like such a system. In no other are
banks and their checks universally used by
the people in preference to currency.
The consequence is that in France, where
banks are little used and the people want to
touch the money" in every transaction, the
$40 per capita in actual circulation Is prob
ably Of less use than $5 in this country. In
Germany, where banks are more used, and
still more in Great Britain, there is somewhat
greater economy in the use of money, and yet
it is safe to say that $ls per capita in either
OF those countries does not 60 as far u SO per

There Is note Of encouragement in the
report from Buffalo that one Of Sheehan's
formerly faithful followers has nvolted and
is speaking his mind plainly. He is the
Police Commissioner who in Office before
the recent Overturn, and who was allowed
TO retain his place or course, from Ills expert
ence he is in a position to realize what a bad
effect the recent action Of the other commissioners
will have on the department. lie is especially
indignant at the removal Of the superintendent.
and says, in the most plainspoken way IL have
been on this board long enough to know that a
detective should be at the head of the depart
ment, and not politician lie also shows that
the new commissioners have already violated their
promises and tells them plainly that they must
bear the responsibility Of the course they are
choosing TO pursue. IL will not surprise any one
outside Of Buffalo that Shcehans men there arc
not keeping faith with the public. That is one
of the primary principles which govern the action
of their chieftain.

her niece and a lot of poor whites,

her niece Sally was mo- than half union

But isn't that partly the reason?
Isn't her failure a great deal due to this
lack of sympathy from her neighbors?
Discomfort is easily sown and the negro

with slight start.

"YOu say she was half union, but did
she have any relations or-or-friends

were killed in battle?"
They were all killed, reckon" ," re-
turned Miss Reed, darkly. There was
her cousin, Jules Jeffcourt, shot in the
cemetery with her beau-who they say
was Sally's, too; there was Chet Brooks
and Joyce Masterton, who were both
gone on her, and both killed, too; and
there was old Capt. Dows himself, who
never lifted his head again after Rich
mond was taken and drank himself to
death. It wasn't considered healthy to
be Miss Sally's relation in those times,
or to be even wantin' to be one"

toward him out of the blue smoke rose
as vividly as on that memorable day.
The pictures and letters he had taken
from the dead mans breast, which he
had retained ever since; the romantic
and fruitless quest he had made for the
fair original in after days, and the
strange and fateful interest in her
which had grown up in his heart since
then, he now knew had only been
lulled to sleep in the busy preoccupa-
ton of the last six months, for it all
came back to him with redoubled force.
His present mission and it's practical
object, his honest zeal in its pursuit
and the cautious skill and experience
had brought to it, all seemed to
be suddenly displaced by this ro-
mantle and unreal fantasy. Oddly
enough, it appeared now to be the only
reality in his life-the rest was an inco-
herent, purposeless dream.
