money in circulation was $1828 per
capita and in 1872 it was $19.19 per cap
ita, and in those times all money was
primary money, the measure of value
being paper money itself. In 1874 we
had a per capita circulation of S2423.
He then said: ''Now you will al say
that the quantity of money in circulation
affects prices. You have more money,
primary aud credit combined, in circula-
ton in 1894 per capita than you had in
the two years named previous to 1873 and
yet prices were higher than now Why?
Because there was more primary money
in circulation per capita in the first two
years named than in the last. OF the 1924
per capita in circulation, of all money in
1894 only about SO is primary money,
while in 1857 and 1872 there was $1S pri-
mary money in circulation per capita"
Mr. Horn said Mr.. Harveys definition
of primary money was money of redemp-
ton. Greenbacks had to be redeemed to
make them good and they could not by
any hook or crook be construed into pri-
mary money. Mr.. Horn then said:
"Now in 1879 we did return TO specie
payment; we did make our greenbacks
and all our money as good as the best,
and Brother Harvey and his whole crowd
of followers and adhererts were going
up and down this country stating that if
VIC Q40CLtOOh " OnAOACO AAob oOS VIC
would ruin the country. l know they
said it because l heard them"
Mr. Harvey: "You did not hear me
say it."
Mr Horr: "Well, if you were old
enough you did say it. A man consti-
tuted as you are could not have said any
thing else"
Mr.. Horn declared that the "stuf'' he
was preaching as it had been denomi-
mated by Mr.. Harvey, was upheld by
every civilized nation on earth and that
only such countries as China, Mexico
and Japan favored the silver standard.
MIR Harvey denied that Mr.. Horn was
justified in calling him a greenbacker,
and said he believed in gold and silver,
as primary money, to the fullest extent.
In relation to the claim of Mr.. Horn that
all the civilized nations of the earth were
in favor of the gold standard Mr. Harvey
said that all the civilized nations, were
at one time slavsholding nations and in
dividual shareholders had made precisely
the argument made by MIR. Horr He
them went to credit money, and declared
that credit money may be issued by the
government with safety only in such
quantities as will not embarrass it in
case d run is made on the government
for redemption. If the government re-
Quires redemption money it can float
bonds to the full amount necessary to
obtain the primary money it needs. Nc
government, he declared, should issue
credit money in quantities beyond the
amount of primary money among its
own people, and it should have no money
| in the treasury, except for its current
/ expense and improvement. The money
should be among the people. This closed
the debate for the day and an adjourn
ment was taken until Thursday.

CURIOUS FUNERAL RITES
A Greek Archbishop Carried to the Tomb
in Chair

A Greek Archbishop Carried to the Tomb
in a Chair.
The death of the Greek arch bishop Of
Corfu, which took place a few days
back, afforded an opportunity of wit
Messing the curious funeral rites &C
corded by the Greek church to so ex-
allied an ecclesiastic. The archbishop
was an old man, and his death was not
unexpected. For more than a month
the cathedral had been prepared for his
Sitting in state" The breath was
hardly out of his body when the corpse
was dressed in episcopal robes, and,
without being emblamed, taken to the
cathedral and placed in a golden arm
chair, surrounded with lighted tapers,
with the inter in one hand and the
gospel in the other. The populace
thronged to the church to view the
body and to kiss the archbishop's
hand. The priest desired to keep the
body there for three days, but the au-
thorities had to interfere for the bene-
fit of the public health. The funeral
was accordingly arranged for the sec
ond day. The church bells tolled con-
tinuously, the theater and shops were
closed, flags were hung at half mast
and the street lamps lighted and draped
with Grape. The whole of the inhabi-
tants, however, treated the occasion
as a fete day, and appeared in their
gayest clothes The funeral procession
started from the cathedral at $50 a.
m. Three standard bearers with church
| standards flying preceded it, followed
by about a dozen church beadles hold
| ing lighted gilded lanterns. Next came
three town bands playing a funeral
march; then boys carrying artificial
! wreaths. Thirty-five priests followed
on each side, and an officer of the army
| holding cushion with the Greek cross
! of the Savior and the Russian grand
crosses of st Anne. Then came the
corpse tied to the arm chair
still holding the inter and gos-
pel-carried by priests in gor-
geous vestments, with the ch1er
I Greek officials taking the place of pail
bearers on each side. Directly behind
followed the Roman Catholic arch
bishops and the representatives OF Tor
eign powers. The men of the garrison,
including the mounted battery and the
crew of a Greek ironclad, brought up
the rear. On arrival at the cemetery
the body was taken into the church,
and from there to the grave, which
was like small room. A stone chair
had been built in the middle, on which
the corpse was seated, and hanging
oil lamp was arranged from the arch
above. When the body was lowered
and some earth thrown in, salute OF
twenty-one guns was fired from the
fort, as we'll as three volleys of mus
kerry over the grave. The bands then
returned playing opera airs.

MIR. James W. French of~Indiana. Mr..

appointment of other officials aud en-
plOyes will be discussed.
Mr. Harmon has had an extensive cor

istrative reforms, and it is his purpose to
make the first United States penitentiary
if possible the model for all penal in
situations of the country.
