Criminal Costs Fund Exhausted.
The announcement was made by State
Auditor J. NJ. Seibert the other day
that the appropriation made by the last
general assembly to pay criminal costs
is exhausted. The total paid out for
the years 1898 and 1894 is 1925, 900. All
criminal costs will have to be carried by
the county officials until the next gen.
eral assembly makes an appropriation
to cover deficiency, and, judging from
precedent, those who hold criminal
costs accounts will not get their money
until March or April of next year.
There is always a deficiency in this
fund. In 1891 and 1892 it was but $780,
600, but it is estimated that the de-
ficiency this time will run up in excess
s15o,0O0, as a comparison of the figures
shows an enormous increase in Grim

prints the following: "The committee
which has recently been organized in
Boston for the promotion of ofinternational
bl-metalllsm upon the general plan of
the Latin Union, comprises both of the
United States senators from Massachu-
setts and some Of the most prominent
bankers, merchants, manufacturers and
capitalists OF New England. While these
gentlemen are earnestly opposed to the
free coinage of silver, they believe that
the repeal of the purchase clause of the
Sherman Act affords a fitting opportunity
for advancing the cause of lnternatona
bi-metallism.
"Their action is certainly timely, as
much Of the present business depression
all over the world is due to rise in the
value of gold and q corresponding fall in
prices of commodities, owing to dimished
use OF silver for monetary purposes, If
the existing business depression in the
United States were owing to tariff agita-
tion alone, it would not be accompanied
by similar complaints of bad business in
other commercial nations. We believe
the restoration of silver to it's former use
as money is imperative, and unless the
people of the United States can have bi-
they will prefer silver mono
metallism.
Mexico is confined to that form Of
money at the present time. and is COR \
prosperous, and unless BIZ
can be secured upon scient1-
nc international basis, nothing can pre-
vent the increased use of silver in the
United States even at the expence Of a
suspension of gold payments"
Ihls is beyond doubt the strongest
expression in favor of silver that ever

eastern financial journal, even going to
he extent of advocating silver mono
netallism if international bi-metallism
IAN not be secured upon scientific basis.

Ticket Nominated to Fill the Granite
Board.
The school board met in special ses-
sion last Tuesday night to nominate a
ticket for the spring school election and
to transact such other business as might
officially come before the board, AS a
side issue the board indulged in the
luxury OF testing the perfume of Greek
cigars and unanimously pronounced
them superb. The ticket is a follows:
y. l.. Hafner, three years; j. G. Pyle,
three years; j. H. Viol, three years; /;
M. -. Blonger, one year; Julius Weigen-
stein, one year. Blank lines will be loft
under each name SO that dark horses
may compete for the much desired
prizes, though the nominations as made
at this early hour seem TO meet with
general satisfaction by all factions and
it is not likely that an other ticket will
be sprung. The nominees are all repre-
sentative mon and men of family. with
good chances for permanent residence.
The holdovers are Willoughby and
Blair, whose terms of office expire in 1896.

Zola and Newspaper Work.

Emile Zola as man is one to whom
both literary men and journalists must
look up with unlimited respect. This is
not so much on account of what he has
written, perhaps, as because he has always
got SO much money for it and been able
to make himself rich man at literature
He was wretchedly poor at the beginning
Of his career, but as soon as he got upon
his feet he began to save money. Thus
he showed himself greater genius than
almost any other writing man of his time,
or any other time, whether the writing
man be journalist or devoted to the minor
task of making poetry and novels.
Zola's opinions are therefore entitled
to respect. He himself worked at jour
nalism before he achieved success as a
novelist, and really was not at all bad
as a newspaper man. After he earned
good sum of money regularly as the
producer Of the fearful and wonderful
fiction for which he has become noted
he gradually relinquished journalism.

Trade Schools.

A young newspaper woman gave not
long since her experience trying to learn
dressmaking and millinery in private es-
tablishments. These were places that
advertised that they would teach girls
for the work the pupil did. The mis-
tresses of the schools kept shop in the
front and served customers, while their
pupils did work at the back. The scheme
seemed mainly an effort Of the keepers
Of the establishments to get apprentice
work for nothing. The girls were una
BILE to acquire thorough knowledge of
the trade.
This would be apt to be trouble in
all private establishments or machine
shops taking apprentices Of either sex.
The head Of the establishment looks out
for his own profit first, often necessarily.
The apprentice may stay on one kind of
work six months at time and know
nothing of any other branches. AS
method of learning trade to earn ones
living by serving apprenticeship in pri-
vate establishments is not usually sue
cess unless the head is different from
most people. Conditions have changed
so. The master cannot take time to in
struct.
The best way for a young man or
woman to get a mechanical occupa-
tion in this generation is to attend the
excellent trade schools that have been
founded in some Of the largest cities,
like the Pratt institute in Brooklyn and
Drexel institute in Philadelphia. In time
benevolent and intelligent citizens will
see to it that there are such admirable
trade schools in all our cities.

The gain of these countries in gold for
1882 was considerably more than the pro-
duct of gold for that year. This is ap-
parent from the fact that the United
States, Japan and Italy alone contributed
S7,5l8,9l1 of their reserved stock to other
countries.
The showing is interesting as indica-
ting the flow of gold to the single-stand-
ard countries of Europe. 1t also raises
the question Of what the United States
can do to retain its stock of gold as is
done in England, Franco and Germany.
After looking into the figures the
Record comes out for silver in the follow
ing:
lit is probable that the most effective
measure hat the United States could
take to bring about an international
agreement for the use of silver as money
is one that would draw from the gold
standard nations of Europe a consider
able share of their jealously guarded
gold"

Each Location Must Have Discovery
Within Its Lines.
An important ruling made by the sec
retary of the interior affecting placer
locations has been received. In effect it
requires that discoveries must be made
on each 2O-acre tract in order to hold it,
Says the secretary: "In my opinion,
there must be discovery upon each 90
acre tract included IN placer location Of
l60 acres, and a location made of that
amount OF land upon single discovery
is void, except as to the 20 acres 1mme-
diately surrounding it. Toconstitute the
law otherwise is to open the door for the
appropriation Of the public lands that
would be doing great violence to the in

The Chicago Record, which was one of
the lustiest journalistic howers for the
repeal Of the Sherman law and a gold
standard, has made discovery that
nearly knocked it's gold pin out of place.
1t has been studying the financial ques-
ton from the import and export stand
point. Here are some of it's figures:
The worlds production of gold for 1892
was $13S, 900, Of which the United
States produced $33,O14,0S1 During
that year we coined S34, ,223 of gold
and exported S495,S73 more than we i'm
ported, SO that s2,26S,117 of our coinage
and exports was taken from accumulated
stock of gold on hand.
AS this country is not holding it's own,
either in drawing gold from other coun-
tries or IN retaining it's own production,
1T is interesting to see whore all the gold
goes. The following table shows the
