The grand jury Of Marcopa
county completed its labors last
week after a four weeks session,
and the following is what the Pho
nix Gaeette has to say regarding it:
"The Gazette has often heard it
said that grand juries were public
nuisances and ought to be abolish
ed, and the one just adjourned in
Maricopa county was the best ex-
emplification of this aphorism ever
presented to the public gaze. The
jury was in session nearly four
weeks; they had given out various
hints to the public that something
of great importance would soon
ensue from their lobors, but, Judge
of the public disgust when this re-
port was read in open court yes
terday. The jury waded into mud
up to their ears, spattered it pro-
mi scioasly over nearly every county
officer, charged the supervisors and
their clerk with everything known
to the criminal calendar, and didn't
have the nerve to indict a single
one Of the so-called malefactors."

Most married people have their
little ups and downs, but there is
a man in Wisconsin who believes
that he has had more than his
share. lie aud his wife had been
married twenty-five years, and
in that time she had deserted HIM
forty-two times. Beng of for
giving disposition, he took her
back to his heart anG home forty
one times, but on the forty second
he rebelled and asked the court for
a divorce. He testifies that he has
done all that man could do to pre-
serve peace and domestic happiness
aud says that she left him once be-
cause he differed from her about how
to make custard pies. On this oc-
casion it cost him 5000 in cash, the
deed to house and lot and a
recantation of his pie theory to
get his wife back. To forgive is
divine. The Wisconsin man ap-
pears to have broken the record of
forgiveness and to have lost peace
and happiness on tle deal.

An official report received at the
Treasury Department states that
by actual count $4,000 seal pups
died of starvation on the Pryblloff
Island last summer because their
mothers had been killed at sea and
that fully 5000 more were on the
island in a starving condition and
would die before the season closed.
1t is estimated that at this rate of
loss the seals in the Bearing Sea
will have become extinct within
the next three or four years at the
furtherest.

which appeared in the November

THE GOLD SUPPLY,
Criticism Upon Statements Recently Mad.
by Secretary Herbert.

CRITICISM Upon Statements Recently Made
by Secretary Herbert.
In recent speech at Montgomery,
Ala, Secretary Herbert said: Japan,
China and India could absorb every
dollar of gold we have and if we should
pass free silver law would do it in
stantly. This would put us on silver
basis, with no gold by which to meas
ure and redeem, and our silver, being
free to come and go, would be exactly
on a level with the silver in other
countries"
To this statement correspondent of
the Atlanta Constitution takes excep-
tions and quotes from two statements
from the United States mint as to the
stock of gold and silver in Japan, In
dia, China and the Straits. They differ
slightly, as good deal of this work is
an estimate. Both statements allow
no gold for India, China and the Straits
but they do not otherwise agree. Ja-
pans gold is put at $50, ZOO OOO in one
and 10000, 900 in the other The
amount of silver in the four countries
is put at $1,s66, 100000 in the one and
at 81, ,750, 900, 900 in the other.
:. The worlds product of gold from
1892 to 1902 inclusive was S., 663, PIG, 900,
according to the best authorities The
stock of gold in the world now is sup
posed to be about SO, 800, 600, 600. OF
this very considerable amount now in
use as money these eastern countries
now have only the insignificant sum of
800, 900, 900, all of which is held by ia
pan, while the amount of silver in that
section is nearly twenty times greater.
From 1s45 to 1895 the net exports of
gold and silver from the United States
were about 81, 452, 900, 900, of which at
least half was gold. From 1851 to 1892
the net exports of gold there were no
imports) from Australia were $l,537,-
S14, ,594. How much of this enormous
export did these eastern countries get?
Is it not the height of absurdity to
suppose that our gold, even if exported
under open mints to gold and silver
alike, would go to these countries?
These people have no use for gold and
have never had. If they needed it
surely such old countries as India and
China would not have been entirely
wanting in gold currency at this late
day in their history.

For HlrntaIlisn.

The Farmers National congress, re-
Gently in session at Atlanta, declared
for the free and unlimited coinage of
gold and silver, notwithstanding press
reports to the contrary. Here is the
resolution passed, but for some reason
suppressed: Resolved, That we favor
the free and unlimited coinage of both
silver and gold at an agreed ratio,
guarded by an import duty upon
foreign bullion and foreign coin equal
to the difference between the bullion
value and the coinage value of the
metal at the date of importation when
ever the bullion value of the metal is
less than it's coin value"

The Gold Reserve.

Secretary Carlisle has been quoted
lately as saying that there will prob
ably be no necessity for the issue of
bonds. If he said SO he is right. There
has been no necessity for issuing bonds
since the second advent of Mr.. Cleve-
land as president. Money has been
borrowed, not to pay government eX-
penses, but TO maintain REDEEM mption
fund in idleness. 1.-THE way to re-
sumo is to resume" said the late
Horace Greeley. The way TO redeem
is to redeem with the redeeming
agency on hand. The mass of the
people are satisfied with the paper
They prefer it, in fact. They do not
want gold. Perhaps $40, 200, 900 or
$50, 900, OO0 of gold will be enough for
the gentlemen who have G speculative
turn of mind. If that is not enough
let them have SIS, 600, coo or $40, coo, 600
more before we get excited about the
condition OF the reserve. The practice
of keeping large pile of gold in the
treasury for the more purpose of pro-
noting the bond policy, and giving
capitalists and syndicstes control of
the financial management, is getting
tiresome. e.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

and never replaced, and the whole
thing looked very diiapidated, but very
familiar to Jet, for it was his barn. He
noticed the hole in the roof and made
a mental VOW that some of his profits
should go to repairing it. Beyond the
barn was a little tumble-doWn house
and the yard between was filled with
remnants Of lumber wagons, hay rake,
reaper, blackboard and several odds and
ends of old buildings.
A tall, thin and melancholylooll
woman was bending over washtub
at the pump. She Strengthened and
stopped her work as Jet came up.
He went on into the house and put
the stove lid he had been carrying on
the stove. Then he came out and sat
down near his wife.
"They say there's ten dollars day
| in it for sure thing; that's what they
say"

woman, signing softly. 1.-THE Lord
