An Increase in Population and Decrease

According to the treasury statement
of February, 1886, the amount of money
then in circulation among US was ST.
594, ,OO0, 900. (See report and accompany
ing papers made to the Forty-ninth
congress. February, 1886, by Represen-

We then had something over &C, ,000, 600
people. On the first day of this month
(Angust), ten years and a half later,
the secretary states officially that the
amount now In circulation is 81, 1,5I4, ,0OO,-
600. So we now have less money by
$50, ,000, 900 than we had ten years ago.
and we have at present more than TO-
100000 people. Win anyone claim
that this is humane, necessary, and
just? In whose interest was this cruel
thing done, if not in the interest of
those who own the gold? Is it not
enough to damn forever all who would
justify it? While our money was being
contracted $4,000. COO our population
has increased 10000, ,o0O
1t is hard to comprehend what an in
crease of 100000 in population sig

people as we had in the colonies at the
period of our revolution. Another illus

this enormous increase in population
during the decade specified. The ten

more than 2,25O,OOOO short of equaling
our increase of population during the
last ten years. Now think for a mo-

lie was a bachelor, was Thomas Tomp-
kins, and on account of the great sue
tess he had made of his life he had a bet
ter opinion of Thomas Tompkins than
be had OF anyone else, except, of course,
sGrace-Grace, his 17-year-oId ward.
Thomas Tonpkins, as the head of the
continental theater, and Thomas Tomp-
kiGs, as his own individual self, was a
igruntled. sordid, frigid, curt and cross
parsonage, that is, he was sorlid and
1rigid and curt and cross 10 everybody
except Grace; and GraceI Why, he idol
lied her.
1t was many years before that
Thomas Tolnpl<ins took in a little waif
rof the street; her years numbered few,
but she was sweet, coy little indiyid-
ual, the very personifeation, he
thought, of oil the graces he had ever
heard of, and that's why he named her
Grace. He never knew just why it was
that he was attached to her, because
he never did like children, but he could
not help it. When he had adopted her.
he gave up his bachelor quarters at his
club and secured a more commodious
place of residence in a genteel part of
the city, and there he domiciled Grace
and himself with a housekeeper in
charge.
As years sped ON Grace grew into
girlhood, maidenhood, and now she
was fairly blooming into womanhood.
She had known no parents or friends
other than Thomas TompIins and his
efficient housekeeper, and of late years
had not been with them much of the
time for the reason that she had been
giving her attention to her studies.
Thomas Tompkins had decided in his
own mind that Grace would have all
the educational advantages it was pos
sibIe for n girl to have, and, in his minds
eye, he pictured her, at the age of 21, as
cultured. refined, highly polished and
sensible leader in society.
But Grace did not think much of So
ciefy and had taken fancy to the stage.
On every possible occasion she would
talk to "Papa Tommy" of joining the
professional ranks, and though this was
the very foundation on which his sac
cesses were based, he did not approve of

-diences," Thomas Tomplins attempted
70 dissuade his ward from even enter
tanning thoughts about a life on the
stage, but she seemed to be imbued with
the idea that her forte would be in opera
and not in society.
At an early age Grace had shown rare
s1usical abilities and as she grew older
she was possessed of beautiful voice,
and Thomas TonplIins saw to it that
her musical education was not neg
1ected, for he considered this valuable
zand necessary accomplishment
One day Manager Thomas TomplSins
came home in a turbulent state of mind.
So wrought up over something was he
that he even talked cross to Grace. How
ever at the dinner table his anger of the
lunch hour had changed to agitation
and his countenance showed traces of
great worry and disappointment Grace

columns Of the papers rung with praises
OF Miss Grace Tompkins, and in NO in
significant manner.
As the time of the opening night drew
near Manager Thomas Tompkins was
nearly beside himself with joy, for Miss
Grace had excited so much Iaudatory
comment that he could not but feel that
the opera was to be a success and that
Grace would win for herself interna-
tional fame, and then, incidentally, and
under cover, as it were. he thought of
the additional notoriety and wealth it
would bring to Manager Tompkins-
but Grace's advancement was upper
most in his mind.
The great Continental theater was
brilliantly Illuminated from top to bot
tom and the hundreds of iridescent cleo
tric lights threw their glare over and
about one of the largest and most fash
iorable audiences that had ever been
within its walls. The occasion was the
opening night of the theater for the sea-
son and the piece on the boards was the
new opera in which Miss Grace Tomp-
kins was to make her initial appearance
and as the leading soloist
Manager Thomas Tompkins was in
his private stall and he was surrounded
by number of representatives Of the
press. Amidst the blare of horns and
the shrill tones of stringed instruments
the curtain arose, displaying to the au-
dience an immense chorus. At a motion
from the orchestra leader the musicians
ceased their playing and at another
sweep of the leaders wand the chorus,
accompanied by the orchestra, burst
forth into the grand and glorious open
ing song of the opera. At the same
instant beauteous creature, white, but
seemingly self-possessed, emerged from
the wings into the full view of the au-
dience.
That's Miss Tompkins, leading So
prano," was whispered about the au-
ditorium and galleries, and then, with
one accord. the audience broke into
upOarious applause. Such stamping of

How 10 Correct tho Fysr.

Senator Sherman, of Ohio, recently
wrote letter to Emmett Rittenhousc,
of Ashland, O., in which he says: .'The
only way In which republican admin
istration can correct the evils of the
past is by increasing the revenue by O
new tariff law. and this, I fear, Is not
practicable" This is, to say the least,
not very encouraging. Mr.. Sherman
declares that the only way to correst
the evil is to increase taxation. That be-
ing the correction of one evil by another
is a very doubtful expedient. Better.
probably, be content with the evils we
have rather than to resort to other evils
we know not of for theircorrection. But
for Senator Sherman to doubt the Nc
Kinley process of restoring prosperity
by increasing taxation is not calcu-
lated to increase party harmony

semi Ohicial Declaration Against the
Chicago Platform.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Even
ing Star today says: Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury Hamlin made a
short statement this afternoon in eX-
PLANTATION OF his position regarding the
Democratic platform and nominations
Inasmuch as Hamlin represented the
Administration forces at Chicago, this
is regarded as semi-official.
The statement referred to is as fol-
lows:
NO political issue is involved in the
coming election. The question to be
decided is far deeper and more vital.
The perpetuity OF republican institu-
tions has beeen threatened. Every
loyal citizen should ally himself
against the forces which controlled the
Chicago convention, the forces of law
lessness, which are inconsistent with
the maintenance of the Republic.
'Henceforth there should be no Re
publican, no Democrat, but a union of
loyal citizens against the combined
forces OF reputation and disorder.
When once this dangerous element has
beeen stamped out at the polls by an
indignant people, we can again divide
and discusss those political questions
which for generations have kept alive
the two great political parties"

Attempt to Assaslnate Frances Chief
Executive.
PARIS, July 14.-President Faure
went to Champs to-day TO review the
troops. He no sooner entered the field
than man in the crowd stepped for
ward and fired at him.
The shot did not take effect and the
would-be assassin was arrested
He declared he had only fired blank
cartridge.
When it became known in the crowd
that the President had not been hurt
by the pistol shot cheer after cheer was
sent up.
The news of the attempt upon the
life of President Faure spread with
great rapidity- among the crowds cele-
bTating the national fete day. The
President was everywhere received
with cheers, the pOpulace taking that
means of expressing qualification at his
escape from a violent death.
Faure was seated in an open carTi-
age, accompanied by NJ. MeIine, Pre-
mier, and Messieurs Boisdefe and Tour
ney, when a Well-dressed- man, appar-
emily 40 years of age, took deliberate
aim and fired twice in quick succession
with a revolver at the President.
He had not time to fire again before
the crowd closed in upon him and
seized him, and but for the prevention
by the police he would probably have
been lynched.
The name of the miscreant is given
as Francois. Francois declares he had
no desire to harm the President, and
the sole purpose of his act was to Sc
cure hearing by the President of his
grievance.

In these days when ladies' fashions
rule the world, a cheval glass in a

of the Dressing Cases in these $35 Sets
is the hat box. The lady of the house
can keep her evening hat without

The metal work on the Dressing Case

These Sets are superior to any
