were assured publicly and privately that
unless the Jaw IN question was repealed
the business Of the country would soon

of Delegates i'll which he ridiculed what
he. styled the shaved-tail mule policy"
This term he applied to the opposition
which had been manifested here against
allowing passengers TO be transported
through this CITY on the steam-cars. 1t was
urged by tho advocates or this policy that
the money received by the hackmen and
the trade which o system Of transfers

tracing trade to Richmond and from Pc
tersburg may rest assured that this will not
be the case unless II shall turn out 20 be to
the interest OF the people Of both cities to

Some Interesting Figures.

The report Of Mr.. LEEcH, the Director
of the Mint. to Congress on the produc-
ton of gold and silver IN the world for the
calendar year 1892 contains figures 80 IN
teresting that readers who are interested
IN financial topics should flo them away
for future reference. We quote as fol-
lows:
"The amount OF silver purchased by the gov
eminent during tho year under the mandatory
provisions OF tho act OF July IA, 1920 was or
100, 725 nno ounces, costing s41,394'2Vl-en
average Of s7I% cents per fine ounce. From this
silver 6,333, 245 silver dollars were coined during
the year.
1.-THE imports OF gold aggregated elS,leo'ooo
and the exports go, 73J,592-a net ioss oil goiu
OF s5s,57O,536. The silver imports aggregated
s~3l,450,08s and tho exports s37,53l,3ol-an
excess OF silver exports Of s6,09O,333.
"Tbe Director reviews tho recent movement
OF gold from the United States, commencing In
May, 1883. During the last year-that is, from
February 10, 1892, whom the last movement
commenced, to February 10, 1S93-the export
OF gold from the port Of New York has aggre-
gated 500, 72S,63O.
aThe total metallic stock on January j, 1s93'
was estimated 10 have been: Gold, sG49,fSS'
O2O: silver, $685. G5~, 365-total, sl.243,l13'
$50. Tho stock o. gold in the United states fell
of during the last calendar year s39,OO5.OOO
while the stock Of silver increased S4G,OOO,OOO
"The amount OF money in circulation Eek
elusive Of tho amount in the Treasury wa
sL,GlI,3oI.7G on January l. 1S93-an increase
of sIs,92S, I24 during the year.
.There was an increase OF over S1@,OOO,OOC
IN tho gold product OF tho world during tho las
! calendar year. q! this increase S2,OOO.OOO wa!
| from Australia and over $4,000, 900 from SOUTH
| Africn. Tho total silver product Of the world in
creased during the last calendar year aboui
1000 900 ounces. occasloned by an Increase OF
4,GOO,O 600 ounces In the product OF Mexican
mines and 100000 in the product Of the
minos In Australia"
When we recollect how extensively the
precious metals are employed in the art.
we cannot but reach the conclusion that
it ia only q question of time-possibly
long time-as 10 when those metals. Of
gold OF least, must fail to be used "a
money. Tho business of the world IN
creases in geometrical progression. whilst
| the supply of gold is more likely to di-
minish than to increase. The increase
last year in the production Of gold is a
proof that extraordinary efforts were
made TO keep up the supply OF that metal
which indeed can never become the money
| of the people. The gold dollar is hardly
tolerable. and gold quarters, halves, &c.
would be a nuisance.

The fire. which on Friday evening visited
Boston and caused much loss Of life and
property IL tho third great fire that the
Massachusetts metropolis has had within
twenty-One years. That Of 1872 was the
worst Of all, but this last we'll deserves 70
be mentioned along with that of 1899, and
results may prove that it exceeds both OF
tho other two in loss of life.
We do not understand why Boston is so
often the victim Of calamitous fires, unless
indeed tho narrowness and crookedness Of
the streets in her business centres can
account in some measure for II by making
the work Of the fremen difficult. Her
fro department ranks high, and her
costly experiences within two decades
have doubtless taught her n lesson CON-
corning the value Of tire-walls.
Three of the buildings destroyed were
constructed with special reference to safe
ty from fires, and while 1t was not exactly
claimed for them that they were FIRE
proof it was expected that they would
be non-combustible under ordinary cir
cumstances. However. Fridays fire was
not an ordinary one. Each ono of these
buildings was filed with combustible ma
terial. SO they oil burned almost rs rapid
Is as any other building would have done.
Tho firemen found the electric wires
greatly in their way. Three men and one
woman chung to the parapet o. a six-story
building and no ladder could be gotten to
them on account of an intervening net
work Of wires. One by one these uufortu-
nate people let 60 their holds and dropped
10 the sidewalk, striking it with a thud
which s;ckened hundreds of the spectators.
All were carried of unconscious and much
mangled.
There seems 20 have been sofne delay in
turning in the fre-alarm, and this Is said
10 have been done at last by a man who
rushed out of enc of the burning buildings
and whose nan was literally s.nged of.

Options and Futures.

We have said heretofore that the cam
paign OF education" which was carried on
in the United States Senate at its late SEES
sion had killed forever the bill to forbid
dealings in options aud futures. 1t has no
merits which may truthfully be pleaded "a
more than an Offset TO ITS dement's. 1t IS
a dangerous scheme. But Mr.. HATCH, OF
Missouri, its patron IN the House OF Re
personalities, processes 10 believe that 1t
will yet become a law. His u%tterances on
the subject. however. seem TO be a conces-
sion on his part that it will "rOost lower
hereafter" Here are his words AZ report
cd in the papers:
alt will be- remoiclled and relntroiuced n
soon a. Congress meets again. OF course, there
wore some Things about II that might hayo boon
