INCREASED CIRCULATION.

The statement that the coun-
try's currency in circulation is
being continually contracted will
not hold in the light of the figures.
For the past four months there
has been an enormous increase in
the amount of circulation outside
of the Treasury. The Treasury
reports show hat on July / the
circulation stood at 81, 500, 1875
200. On November l it amounted
to 81, 227, O55, GA, an increase of
SIT, $50, Ala. While the growth
has been continuous, it was much
less rapid in July and August
there was a nearly fye-fold in
crease of $24, 266, 492, but large
as was this monthly gain, it was
greatly exceeded in September,
when it rose to $43, 1872, 655, and
October caps the exhibit with an
expansion of S44, 753, 1926.
For the purpose of comparison
the following Statement of the
circulation outside the Treasury is
given:

NORTHPOL
A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT IN SCIENTIFIC
AND GEOGRAPHICAL WORLD.
NEWS FROM ST. PETERSBURG
Dr.. NauSen, the Norwegian, is the Re-
ported DiScOverer.
He is Homeward Bound-The Explorer Cred
tied With Having Reached the Much
Sought Destination After Per-
sistent Search Extending
over Three Years.

Special to EVENING HERALD.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 13.-The North Pole
has been discovered.
A telegraphic dispatch received in this city
today announces this important fact to the
world.
The dispatch is from Irkutsk, Siberia, and
states that Siberian trader named Kouchna-
ref has received authentic information that
DIR. Nausen, the Norwegian explorer, has
found the North Pole after search of
almost three years.
1t is also stated that the explorer found
land at the Pole and he is now returning to-
wards civilization to give detailed report of
his work.
KouchnarefT, the trader,i the agent of DR..
Nausen at Irkutsk, Siberia, and the import
ant news is generally credited here.
DIR. Nausen started on his voyage in the
steamship Fran" on the gath of June, 1898,
and sailed direct for the Arctic regions. IN
til the current news was received nothing
had been heard from him for over year, and
in many scientific circles he was considered
as lost, like many other explorers who pre-
ceded him on the hazardous undertaking of
striving to reach the North Pole.

assisting Judge savidge in holding civil
court at sunbury, has decided that the
Shamokin Street Railway Company cannot be
compelled to pay portion of the expense OF
paving the three squares on Shamokin street
with asphalt. A new trial has been asked.
His Honor did not allow the suit to go to the
jury. When the argument was finished he
Immediately took the matter in hand and
stated that in accordance with the ordinance
granting the electric line its right of way the
company could only be compelled to repair
and maintain the road, and that there were
no provisions made for street paving.

deliberately announced his opposition to
annexation; then, becoming alarmed by the
dissatisfaction of his friends in the south,
he wrote again, this time the Alabama let

ing question. This action proved fatal to
his political fortunes. 1t failed to reinstafe

Nor rend the blood-bought band hat binds

You shall not tramplc OH the flowers that

glory's banner waves.

ardent republican, residing In Pomona, Cal,
believed that a trap could be laid to decoy
Englishmen into admitting that on account
OF his free trade proclivities the election
of Cleveland was what England most de-
sired. Accordingly he wrote to several men
in public life in England and Canada, and
under the guise of an Englishman lately nat
uralized as an American, asked them how
to vote to add to the prosperity of the
mother as we'll as the adopted country.
To this he signed the name Charles +.
Murchison." Lord Sackville was the only
one who replied. His letter, which at once
fourN it's way into print, was an amusing
mixture of stupidity and impertiHence. AS a
result he was packed off, bag and baggage,
to England.
The letter proved a splendid weapon in
the hands of Blaine, who was then tax
ing an active interest in the canvass for
Harrison. At the great Irish-American
meeting held in New York just after the
Murchison letter was published the cor
respondence was used with telling effect.
Thousands of copies of the Murchison let
ter and Lord Sackville's reply were pre-
pared especially for this meeting, and on the
top of the paper used the British crest
was emblazoned in all its glory. Just before
Blaine mounted the platform a perfect shower
of these circulars was thrown from the
galleries of Madison Square Garden upon the
heads of the crowds on the floor. When
Blaine appeared every one in the audience
had a copy of the letter in his hand, and
when the Plumed Knight took up the sub
ject the effect was magical. Every one
declared that night that Blaine was at his
best.
The campaign of 1892 was singularly free
from roorbacks and personal abuse, and the
same has thus far been true Of the canvass
now in progress. IL there is a single voter
in the millions who on November 3 next
will exercise the right Of freemen who does
not know all about the money question, 1t
is not the fault of the campaign orators,
for that has been the burden OF the speeches
with which they have vexed the ear.

rs an unprincipled adventurer, a gambler, a
libertine and an accomplice OF Aaron Burr.
Jackson. aside from the handful already
referred to, was stigmatized as a murderer,
a dueling manslayer, a cock fighter and
a turf sportsman. One Of the bitterest at
tacks upon him was made by Jessie Benton,
brother of the great Thomas. The latter,
after years of hostility, had made his peace
with Jackson, but Jessie still writhed with
anger over the duel he had fought with
the old hero in the streets of Nashville,
fifteen years before, and he pursued him
with a pamphlet in which thirty-two sep
arate and distinct crimes and misdemeanors
were charged against him.
A. CRUEL ISLANDER.
These, however, included only acts for
which Jackson was himself responsible. 1t
was reserved for a Washington newspaper
to give currency to a cruel Islander relating
to the private life of the wife of the gen.
eral. The lady had been divorced from a
former husband before she remarked, and
both she and Jackson were Mortified later
on by the discovery that that divorce was
illegal. The matter was rectifed and the
couple were lawfully Joined in wedlock,
although they had innocently gone through
previous proceedings which they had be-
lieved to be lawful. Jackson's wife died
just before he was first inaugurated presi-
dent. and with the wound still ranking
in his heart, he refused to meet the retir-
ing president. whom he held responsible
for the publication of the SANDER of Mrs.
Jackson. Still, in the campaign of 1882,
Clay was assailed more bitterly, II it were
possible, than was General Jackson. Bar
gain and corruption was charged against
him for giving the deciding vote In the
house of representatives for Adams four
years before, and his subsequent accept

under Adams gave some color to the
