THE RELATIVE INJURY.

Only Ono Per Cent of the Population
Would BIO Affected by the stOpPage OF
Silver Purchases,
Cktodgo Tribune
Assuming that the effect of thelstop-
page of the monthly purchase OF 4,5O0,.
900 ounces OF silver would be to lower
the price OF that metal slightly and
thus depress somewhat one OF the in-
dntrIes Of the silver,mining states,
what is the all.sutIicient justification
That it would he for "the greatest good
OF the greatest number" which 10 the
golden rule whore democratic form OF
government obtains,
Tho total population OF the United
States Is about 60,0O0000, OF that
number 660,000 or per cent, live in
the sllyer-produclng regions, substan-
italy the same proportions apply 10 the
wealth aud productiveness OF the coun-
try, SO per cont OF which is outside Of
those sections where silver is pro-
ducad. The continuance OF the system
OF silver purchases under the Sherman
law will inaict intolerable injury on 80
per cent Of the people OF the United
States and 90 per cent OF its trade and
commerce. The stoppage OF these pur-
chases will intllct at the most a slight
temporary injury on per cent OF the
population and the business Those
being the circumstances, there Ia no
room for doubt as to what should be
done In country where the many rule
and not the Jew, and where the greatest
good Of the greatest number is the OBJ
ject which the government aims at.
There Is even less room for doubt
when one reflects that silver mining is
but one OF the industries OF the Rocky
Mountain states, and that only small
percentage OF their 100000 people
draws their sustenanCe from the silver
mines Montana mines gold and cop
per and raises horses and cattle. Sheep
abound there and in the states and ter
ritorles to the south. Coal mining has
become agreat industry in Colorado and
elsewhere. Agriculture is profitable
wherever there is water, Silver mining Ia
SNOWY industry, but not as valuable US
others which make less parade. II one
were to judge by noise alone the num-
her Of those engaged in it would seem
to be very great, When they are count
ed they dwindle to handful. The to.
tai population OF Montana in 1890 was
$4,000, The number Of men working
in gold and silver mines was 5000.
There were in Colorado $4,000 people,
of whom $4,000 were gold and silver
miners. The closing OF three or four
great eastern mills throws more people
out OF work than there are gold and sill.
yer miners in those two states.

The Carnival in Rio De JaneirO.

There are two totally distinct sea-
sons at Rio, when the town presents
an altogether different appearance the
summer, which lasts from October to
April, and the winter, from May to
September. In the summer, which is
the autumn and winter IN Europe,
when the sun pours down into the
narrow streets, Rio is anything but an
agreeable place. The heat has driven
away the rich and lcisured classes,
the great merchants, the diplomatic
corps; in fact, all of any position or
fancied position hasten to the suburbs
on the breezy heights overlooking the
city, or to the little country towns in
the neighborhood, such as Petropolis
and Theresopolis, whilst others take
refuge on the islands of the bay.
The town becomes perfect caldron;
but this does not prevent a great ex-
element over the Carnival, which is
an institution to which the Fluminen-
ses, or river folk, are particularly de-
voted. This relic of the old heather
Saturnalia is fast disappearing from
Europe; and now that Italy is united
kingdom, it is no longer properly kept
up even in its former headquarters,
Rome and Venice.
At Rio, however, Carnival-time is
livelier than ever, and there are So
cieties for celebrating it in grand
style. Shrove-Tuesday is kept in
most characteristic manner, and is dis
tinguished not only by the richness of
the costumes and the originality of the
vehicles in the professions, but by the
absurdity of the caricatures in what
may justly be termed an open air re-
view of the chief events of the pre-
ceding year.
In the time of the empire the
ministers of Dom Pedro betrayed the
