NORMAL FLOW OF GOLD.
Big Run for Currency on San Fran
cisco Banks Has Ceased.

San Francisco, Nov 1I.-Prior 10 tne
4th of November there was something over
S12 2,OOO, 900 in paper in the vaults of
the subtreasury in this city, the largest
amount ever accumulated in one place On
the Pacific coast.
Every dollar of it had been redeemed in
gold, and for once Assistant United States
Treasurer Perry had on hand more paper
money than he knew what to do with.
Since that time 81 900, 900 have been
shipped to Washington intact, and nearly
all of the remaining So 900, 900 have been
paid out in exchange for gold. The depos-
iting of gold in exchange for paper money
commenced soon after the results of the
general election became known, and the
result is that the flow of gold at the sub
treasury has again become normal.

well, when crooked conductor got

chine, it was the deadliest thing for knock

to do was to pocket the nickel, make bluff
at punching his trip slip and ring the fake
bell as a guarantee OF good faith to the
passenger. 1t was such a good joke on the
company that the conductor called the
machine his brother-in-law,' and he made
more money in the next year at railroading
than any other six men n town.

COST OF
STREET
SWEEPING.

as thorough as that done by hand, but less
expensive. and the problem, therefore, is
how to get the best for the least possible
outlay. The suggestion has been made
that the less frequented thoroughfares
might be swept by machines; those more
generally used cleaned by hand, and thereby
the expense for this item of local SANTA
ton brought down to a minimum. II would
seem that Washington might profit by the
experience of New York, where Col
Wanng has achieved admira bic results
by systematic employment of both methods.
Another point, however, to be consid
cred in connection with this matter is the
interest in it of the Washington laboring
men. 1t would be decidedly to their ad-
vantage 10 have as much of the sweeping
as possible done by hand, as it would call
for their services. Too much municipal
work is now done by contract, and they
are the sufferers. The compensating feat
ure of the additional cost of hand over ma
chine sweeping is found in the fact that
this excess would go into the pockets of
people living here, and many of whom
upon charity, because unable to obtain
work whereby they might earn support
for their families. A change, even in part,
from machine to hand, would at once call
into requsition large number of men
who otherwise would have difficulty in
obtaining steady employment.
Thus by the suggested change two inn
principal streets would be better cleaned
and employment found for hundreds of men
who otherwise might remain idle and be-
come a charge upon charity. Whatever
recommendations the Commissioners may
make TO Congress on this subject, they
should lay due stress upon the benefit which
the one method would confer upon large
number of the unskilled laborers of the
District.

He was entertaining group last night

one OF the principal differences is in the
selection OF the Cabinet officers. For
inerly one could see the politicians OF the
whole country laying wires to secure one Of
the seats in that body for their own par
ticuiar State.
1t did not matter SO much to them who
was appointed, IL only he was a citizen
OF their State. This, of course, was be-
cause of the great number OF positions at
the disposal OF each Secretary, the lions
share OF which, as a rule, went TO the
friends Of the men who secured the posi-
ton for the appointee- And it was not
only deemed honorable TO SO reward ones
friends, but il was thought, and, indeed, to
a certain extent the usage is still kept
up, TO toe a matter OF political honesty.
Nowadays. however, with the decline OF
the spuils system and the growth OF
civil service reform. Secretary has very
few offices, indeed, at his disposal. So 1t

There is room for serious doubt that the
correspondent referred to has been cor
rectly Informed, or that lie has obtained
the views of any considerable number OF
lawyers. Ever since the supreme court
Of the District was organized the majority
of the judges have been appointed from the
different States of the Union. Judge
Coxis one of the few exceptions to the rule.
This going outside of the District for til e Sc
lection OF judges of its highest tribunal has
been justified upon the ground that this
court has to deal not only with cases af-
fecting local interests, but suits are brought
here relating to persons and property

raised. He is an able lawyer, is of
judicial turn of mind, has wide experience
and is Just the quality of timber of which
good judges are made. Besides, he has
lived in Washington as Representative in
Congress and as a Cabinet officer for
nearly a score of years, and probably Is
far more familiar with legal matters here
than most people suppose. 1t is quite
certain that If the President chooses to
appoint Judge CoX's successor from outside
of the District he could find no one more
acceptable in every way than the present
genial Secretary of the Navy.

gridiron will degenerate into shambles
where young men are led to the slaughter.
1t is far more prolific OF brutality and
disaster than either the prize ring or the
bull ring. More men are killed at football
than by prize and bull fighting combined.
In fact, the character OF the game makes
it almost impossible to be played without
ticipants.
College faculties have had the matter
under consideration more than once. but
they have been unable to devise anything
that would deprive football OF its OBJ
jectionable features. Some have cut the
Gordian knot by interdicting the game al
together, and perhaps this may prove to
be the only really effective remedy. The
authorities hesitate, Of course, to interfere
with what has been regarded as legiti-
mate and healthful athletic sport, and
thus the case remains in a most unsatisfac-
tory condition. Those Interested in the
game eSpeciallythc young men who engage
in it, should put their heads together and
try to hit upon some plan which will tend
to make football less brutaIizing than it is
