The free silver orators tell tho farmers
that tho prico Of silver regulates the price
Of whoat and cotton. Yet during the last
thirty days whoat and cotton have very
greatly increased In price, while silver has
steadily declined.
Tho simple fact Is that the price of sill.
yer has no more 10 do with tho price OF
farm products than have the changes Of
the moon. Silver is not tho monetary
standard in which prices are measured
Its price, therefore. has no function what.
ever to perform in regulating or even In
measuring the price Of other conmodl ties.

IMPRISONED For 1000 YEARS.
Aggregate of Sentences Passed by q
a Francisco Judge.

Aggregate of Sentences Passed by a
San Francisco Judge.
There is an individual in San Fran
cisco who has blotted over 1000 years
out of the lives of his fcllowmen.
Stated in that uncompromising way,
it seems a terribly despotic power to
rest In the hands of one man. Stated
in more comprehensive terms, Judge
Murphy, during his term on the
bench, imposed sentences of imprison-
lnent a~ggregating over forty centuries.
Judge Murphy is selected for illustra-
ton merely because his is the record
of having tilched l.ore years from the
lives of others than any other man in
San Francisco.
1t is instructive to look ut these
things from different points of view.
1t Is ali axiom in the science of me-
chanics that to lift one ton three feet
il equivalent to lifting three tons one
foot. Hence, it is fair to assume that
to condemn Il given number of men to
an aggregate OF 1000 years Of impris-
onment Is to condemn n man for the
same term. Moreover, taking the COM
mon acceptation of Imprisonment as q
living death, in view of the fact that
a man, when in Jail, is of no use to the
community or to anybody else, and ac-
cepting t~hirty-five years as the average
span of life, Judge Murphy must be
debited in the eternal ledger with up
ward CT III human lives.-San Fran

DOWN WITH THE VEST.

Rallying Cry Which Would De More
Popular than Most ShibbOleths.
1t takes July weather to prejudice a
man still more emphatically against
that article of male clothing called a
vest. Years ago Editor Dana charac-
terized the white vest as onc of the
original denominations before the Lord,
but he might as well have included the
entire vest family. Where did the vest
originate? Probably in the buff jerkin
of the ancient man at arms. Perhaps
with the early day clergy. 1t seems
to be the result of a ridiculous short
ening up of some long, sleeveless gar
ment. Whatever its origin, we have
certainly outlived it. You notice the
bicycle suit doesn't include it. Why
should it? 1t is neither beautiful nor
even useful. Let us emcncipatc our.
selves-a flannel pand is much to be
preferred to the cumbrous vest-and
adopting as our shibboleth:
DOWN WITH THE VEST!
set a vestless example ourselves,
sternly adhering to it-at least as long
rs the weather permits.-Cleveland

HE BATHED IN CHAMPAGNE.

An Arizona PFospector Whom For.
tune Proved Too Much For.
A champagne bath with wine selling
at $3.50 a pint :. q luxury which but
few ordinary people indulge in in these
days Of depression, but there died in
the Stockton insane asylum a few
days ago q man who actually bathed
in this costly wine, and an ordinary
hotel bath tub was the receptacle used
by him for the purpose. This n
was ]. E. Durkee, whose name was
one of the best known before or since
in Arizona. He went there in the lat
ter seventies, and by a fortunate COM
bfnation Of circumstances wholly of
his own making was Dol enjoying a
princely income, ranging from $500
to $500 a day. This was maintained
for a long period. The receipt of so
much wealth proved too much for his
weak intellect, and he ended his days
in al insane asylum, almost forgotten
by the people who only a few years
ago were receiving his bounty. What
was left Of Durkee was shipped to
Los Angeles and there buried from an
undertaking parlor, very few people
knowing anything, and apparently
caring less, about the ending of the
man who, less than ten years before,
luxuriated in champagne baths and
was a high roller in that town.-San

Expenses of English Families.

Expenses of English Families.
For some reason or other Englishmen
are particularly chary in letting the
outer world into the sacred arcana
of their private expenditure. In some
cases this feeling may lie due to a
wholesome fear of the income tax COM
missioncrs, but in the vast majority of
instances it ma be rightly attributed
to the innate idea of our race that
an Englishman's house is his castle
and all that occurs within its walls is
part of his history, belonging to him
and to him alone. A few years ago
the labor department of the board Of
trade attempted to get an average Of
family expenditure, but failed through
the reticence of those to whom the
circulars were addressed. 1t is now
making another effort, with what sue
cess remains to be seen. In the mean
time a laudable private endeavor in
the same direction has been made by
Mr. Edward Grubb, who tells the re-
suit in the Economic Review, under
the title of "Some Statistics of Middle
class Expenditure" He obtained forty
nine replies to $50 schedules sent out.
This, of course, would hardly give q
fair average, and the questions were
not framed in the best manne to
obtain what Mr.. Grubb wanted, but
still the attempt was a commendable
one, and may form the basis of q
more adequate inquiry. In the returns
quoted in the article all returns are
given and are full of interest. The av-
erage expenditure Of forty-two fami-
lies, according to their income, Is given
thus, per cent: Food, 20.1: charity,
1O.7; rent, 1914; clothing. 1913; wages,
80; education, 5.4; travel, 90; insur-
ance, 8; furniture, Al; rates and taxes,
3.S; coal and light, 3.8; doctors, IT;
horses (cabs), IA; books and papers.
IL; sporting, music and the drama, 1;
sundries, Ga. The two remarkable
items in the list are the large proper.
ton distributed in charity compared
with the small sum spent on amuse.
ments. The value of such details can
not be overestimated for the purpose
of illustrating modern social life, and
with due secrecy Englishmen ought to
help rather than retard the collection
of such statistics.-London Telegraph

sylvania railroad bridge, near Delano,
Pa. The bridge is n of the highest
on that section of the road, being on q
steep incline, and nearly 100 feet be-
low are the tracks of the Pennsylvania
& Reading railroad.
AS the train, heavily loaded with pas
sengers, approached the bridge, the en-
gineer noticed q faint Pickering on the
track ahead. The Dir brakes were ap-
piled and the train came to a standstill
not a moment too soon. The danger
signal was given by a miner who had
luckily crossed the bridge. A horse
had wandered upon the structure and
was lying with his forelegs wedged In
such q position that its body lay across
the tracks. 1t would have been SUM-
Gent to derail the train and send it
rolling down the high embankment.
The horse was dragged OF the track
by hitching the locomotive to it-Bak
