CURRENT COMMENT.
Gold and silver Circulation.
From the Atlanta Journal Dem).

In the United States there is a per cap
ita circulation of $S.7S in gold. $3.50 in sill
yer, and $5.92 in paper-altogether $23 so
per head. Our per capita circulation is
only exceeded in four countries-France,
500; Belgium, 81 S2; Netherlands, $25.67
tries have a larger per capita circulation
OF silver than the United States-France
$l2.74; Spain, $9.49, and Netherlands, $12. 10
In France there. is a very small use of
paper money-only IS cents per head-sil-
yer occupying the position of a subsid-
larry currency. the relative proportion be-
ing per head: Gold. $22.19: silver, $12 IA;
paper So cents The usefulness of notes
redeemable in gold and silver is shown
by the comparative activity of note circu-
lation in the transaction of business in
this country. where only one-fourth of
the currency is paper. In India and China
the total of silver circulation is less than
$3.50 per head. The argument that the
free coinage of silver would enlarge our
currency is absurd in view of the fact
that such policy would certainly put us
on a silver basis and drive our entire
stock of gold out of circulation. The free
silverites are really monometallists and
currency contractionists of the most pro-
nounced type.

Baltimore seems to be taking the mis-
fortune Of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
evidenced by the abandoning of the Balti-
more exposition scheme. The financial
condition Of the country at large is not in
nearly so bad a shape as the Balu-
moreans seem TO think. They are at pres
ent behind a cloud raised by the en-
barrassment of one of the greatest rail-
road properties in this country. But be-
yound the cloud the sun of activity and
prosperity is shining brightly. The coun-
try is not going into the hands of receiv-
ers because the Baltimore and Ohio road
has done so. There is a plenty of life in
the old land yet.

Mr.. Crisp's Candidacy.
From the Philadelphia Record Del

Ex-Speaker Crisp of Georgia is an able
man; but so long as the financial ques-
ton shall continue to be an issue in and
out of congress the democrats of Geor-
gia should refuse to crafty his ambition
to become a United States senator. At
any rate, the question of his selection
should be put squarely before the party
of his state by placing in the field against
him a popular sound money candidate.
There is no lack in Georgia of democrats
who are not tainted with the free silver
virus.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-03-08

democratic voters favored sound money
It is apparent in the light Of Mr.. Crisp's
letter that the one convention scheme
was suggestion Of his, and those who
are acting in harmony with him. II is
greatly 70 be regretted that personal sue
cess is regarded as being Of more import
ance than party welfare.

Danger of a Great Crop.
From the New orleans Picayune Dem).

Cotton has now declined fully 2 cents
per pound from the highest point reached
during the past season. This decline has
been due largely to the belief that the
cotton farmers throughout the south are
determined to plant for an enormous crop
this spring There can be no denying
that preparations for a considerable in
crease in acreage are being made; but,
at the same time, there Is undoubtedly
a disposition to exaggerate the develop
ment which is contemplated.

A Missouri man is entitled to the blue

Seventeen cases of diphtheria, six of

The report is revived that Sir George
Newnes, the millionaire English publish
er, will build yacht to sail for the Amer
teas cup. If he does so. it is to be hoped
that the race will not be attended by any
Dunraven business. One more such Incl
dent would kill International racing
The incident of the arrest and release
of the schooner Mallory, in Florida, is not
at all complimentary to the discernment
of the federal officials concerned in it.
If such craft as the Mallory are suspected
by the Spaniards of being engaged in
contraband traffic, they win have to keep
their own revenue cutters, off the coast
of Cuba, and do their own arresting; and
they had better be very careful to make
no mistakes while they are doing it,
There is before the New York legisla-
ture bill to prohibit the giving of any vo-
cal or instrumental concert on Sunday in
any part of the state. There is nothing
more inspiring in all the world of music
than the Long Metre Doxology by a full
and competent orchestra; yet if the pro-
posed bill were to become law, it would
be a misdemeanor for a band to play that
air on Sunday, unless it were played in a
church. AS a matter of fact, some of the
churches of New York give what may be
called concerts on Sunday evenings 1t
could hardly be claimed that the religious
zeal Of the congregation is lessened by the
music.

SYSTEM WORKS HARCSHIPS
Changes Suggested as to Locating
Garbage Law Vio.ators.
Many Persons Who Have Compiled
With the Regulations Brought Into
Court-Luse Valuable Time.

The health office is rather disappointed
at the result of the prosecution OF people
violating garbage regulatiOns-that is, the
health office is disappointed with the police
court end of 1T.
Monday and Tuesday 12S cases were
tried. few were dismissed and only two
fines imposed. In the balance or the cases
the personal bonds OF the defendants We're
taken.
Tuesday the fine was assessed on we'll
dressed man, whose position was similar
with the other eighty y-odd defendants. only
he was little more truthful, acknowieds-
ing that failure to procure can at the
time the Inspector called was his wires
negligence.
All the warrants served 50 far nave been
In the northeast aud southeast sectiona,
and most OF them on the poorest class OF
people none of them able to pay Ilhe.
The larger percentage or the defendants
procure cans after they are notitied N
appear in the police court, so IL seems
rather II hardship for them TO spend iail
or almost all the day in court, as they
did on Monday and Tuesday, losing wages
and listening to the r:bald testimony 81
orten gwen by depravcd prisoners in the
dock.
This is the fault OF the system now in
operation. 1t has been suggested that the
Inspection of houses be given over to the
police department; that the officers it,
spect each house on their beat Ia see II
ihe occupant has a proper can, as prescribed
by law. If not. allow the delinquent
certain time to procure Que.
This plan would save the court valuable
lime, and prevent persons complying with
.he law after an inspection from being
brought before Judge Kimball.
One case in particular on Monday wac
that OF a man whose house was inspected
On April 81. He had no can. but got one
.he next day. Nevertheless a warrant was
sworn out, and lie was arraigned in the
police court.
DIR. Woodward thinks that II a low fine
was imposed in each case, say 81 it would
be salutary lesson to Others. He is op-
posed to Judge Kimbalrs method Of taking
personal bonds. There is a very general
sentiment that the court should go step
further and dismiss the cases.
At present the trial of garbage cases is
extremely farcical.

wilkesbarre Pa, May 20.-S. S. Edwards,
wcil-to-do resident OF Hemlock town.
ship, a Christian Scientist, died ON Satur-
DAY under what his ncighbOrs thought pecu-
noticed that he had received no medical at
tendance and it is said, was given no medi-
cine of any kind.
Coroner Mckee was notified, and he or
dcred Dr. Wcnner. OF Nanticoke, TO per
.orm a post-mortcm. He went to the Ed
wards home on Sunday afternoon for this
purpose and found that death was due to
typhoid fever. The physician made care
sul inquiry into the case among the family
and nci cigtbOrs OF the dead man. From them
he lea rnrti that Edwards was firm believer
in the doCtrincc of Christian Science. as was
also his wife and number of other people
in the locality.
The doctor made known the result OF his
investigation to Coroner Mckee and the
latter decided to hold an inquest. The
jury, after hearing all the evidence, agreed
upon the following verdict:
I'VE agree that $. S. Edwards came to
his death from typhoid fever. and that the
said $. s. Edwards was neglected by GER
.ain parties known as Christian Scient lists
in not securing proper medical treatment;
wards are guilty of negligence in not pro-
curing medical treatment and nursing for
the aforesaid 5. s. Edwards"

new RAILS FOR The B. & 0.
Tracks Between Washington and
Baltimore to Be Relaid.
Heavier Metallic BE Used-All PasseE-
ger Cars VIII Be Equipped With
the Pintsch Light.

Baltimore Md. May 2O.-Some import
ant improvements Oh the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad are going on, ana Will pe luf
lher pushed during the summer.
One of the chief features will be the
reIa wing of the liue from Baltimore to
Washington with s5-pound steel rails, the
present size being 75-pound. New ties
are being put in literally along the road
wherever needed, aud the physical condition
OF the property is being brought up to the
highest standard.
The Philadelphia line is all now laid
with the heavy rails, and the main line
is provided with them as far out as the
Relay, So the work OF putting down the
new metal will be between the latter
point and the capital. a great deal or
il will also be put on the IIain line to he
West, wherever new rail Is decided.
Stations ON The line are also being rem
ovatcd as they may demand, and the en-
tire equipment is to te brought up to
meet the demands OF The travelling pub
.ic
Not the least improvement Will be the
lighting of all passenger cars 10y gas.
Arrangements are now icing made nth
the Pintsch Gas Company for ntting all
the B. x O. coaches with the necessary
apparatus aud also establishing plants
to make the gas at Philadelphia, Balu-
more. Washington and PittSburg. Plants
already exist at Jersey City aud Chicago.
This style OF lighting is used on tie Royal
Blue trains. and is said TO he brighter and
more reliable than electricity. Each ear
has six lamps, with four burners in each,
and chimncys are provided to carry the
neat out through the roof. so that II does
not affect the temperature of the cars in
warm weather.
The rolling stock of the railroad al
ready shows the effect OF tie renovation

Horrible Experience Of John Cannon,
Who Tried to Steal II Ride.
Pennington, n. j.. May 2O--A middle
aged man, who said his name was John
Cannon. had a horrible experience Mon
lay night, as a result OF trying to steal
ride OH a Lehigh valley coal train. He
spent seven hours between two OF the mann
racks of the line alta station near Fleming
ION Junction.
During that time nearly thirty trains
passed over him. He fell from moving
coal train at that point at O'Clock McE-
lay evening, breaking his leg so that he
was unable to free himself from his periious
position.
Cannon remained conscious during the en-
tire seven hours. AS each train blew It's
whistle for the station Cannon said he felt

covered by an engineer on an east-boun1

SCHOONER LONG OVERDUE.
Believed That the American Bark
Colorado Is Lost.

Portland. Greg, May 2o.-It is generally
believed in shipping circles that the Ameri-
can bark Colorado, which sailed from the.
Columbia River on December 81 for Hong
Kong. with q cargo oflumber, has been lost.
She is now out las days. whereas the
average run between Astoria and Hong
Kong is sixty days.
The Colorado was in command of Capt.
Jones and carried crew of fourteen men.
At the time she sailed the North Pacific
Ocean was swept by series of terrific
gales, of violence and duration unprece-
ientcd in the observations OF the oldest
mariners sailing the Pacific. and it is not
TO be wondered at if the storm which sent
the CadZow, Forest and other ships to the
bottom wrecked the Colorado also.

Nobody is permitted even to possess

Is aIIcr 1857.
The most interesting trial piece in exist
encc is the half dime of 1892. Several
copies OF this are extant. The diverse
bears the head of Martha Washington. 1he
silver of which they are made was fur
nshed by George Washington, who sent
some of his own family plate from Mount
Vernon to the Philadelphia Mint for the
purpose. Thus the coins have historical
as well as nUn.isHg;ic value. One OF
them in perfect condition is worth $50.
The first pa tern piece fora double eagle was
struck in Si9. Only one was made IN gold,
and this is now preserved at the Mint III
Philadelphia. The Treasury refused to sell
It for 5000 to George !. Scney, of Brook
lyn. A pattern of the same coin in brass.
struck to try the die, was sold not long ago
for $55.
Three quarter dollars in copper, cores
ponding to the regular silver issue Of 1897,
are known to exist. They are worth $50
each.

SOME COINS SCARCE.

Any pattern piece in gold is very rare and
valuable today, beca use the employees of the
mint could not monkey with that metal
every pennyweight of IL had to be ac-
counted for. On the other hand, they had
copper and tin TO burn.
Some trial coins at present are scarce
and precious il certain metals, while COM
mon and almost valueless in others. II
will lie seen that the collectors had good
cause for complaint in this matter; but the
injury did not stop there. Having sold the
pattern pieces al outrageous prices, the gov
ernment subsequently declared a taboo
against them, and threatened to confiscate
them whenever they were found in the pos
session of private individuals.
Under Mr.. Cleveland's first adminstra-
tion Mr. Kimball, then director of the Mint,
practically seized the collections of H. L.
Linderman. who himself had been director
of the Mint at an earlier period.
Mr.. Kimball actually stopped the sale of
Mr.. Linderman's collection. At the same
time he put stop to the selling of pattern
pieces at the Mint, and issued a circular for
bidding all dealing in such trial coins by col
lectors and others.
He even went so far a 8 to declare that
all pieces of the kind found in the possession
of private individuals should be seized as
contraband wherever found. He was not
able to carry the matter quite SO far. how
ever. The ground he took was that such
coins of bas metals, many of them being
exact reproductions of higher denomina-
tions a S TO form, might be gildcd and passed
off on the unwary or otherwise msused.
Furthermore, they We're specifically in
tended for the use Of the government. and

COLLECTORS CAN'T GET THEM. :.
The order in question was promulgated
in 1887. Since then no trial coins have
been sold by the Treasury, and no col
lector has been able to procure them. In
1882 great efforts We're made to procure
patterns or designs of the new half dol
lar, quarter dollar. and dime, but without
success. Attempts in the same direction
with reference TO the Columbian halves and
quarters were equally fruitless.
II the patterns had been secured the
holder would be Obliged to keep his pos
session of them secret. Suppose thata fresh
design for the silver dollar should be
adopted, there is no law to prevent the
Secretary of the Treasury from presenting
you with pattern. But il you ventured
to offer 1t for sale the detectives of the
secret service would swoop down and grab
