THE KAISERS MAY RIDE.
They Went to staten Island Where
They Feasted and PLAYED SAIL.

The Joseph Kaiser Coaching Club of
Greenville had their third annual May
ride yesterday to Staten Island. The
club started at ten o'clock in the morning
from Linden avenue and the Old Bergen
Road in about a dozen carriages, ac-
companied by about the same number of
bicycles, the membe owners of which
preferred to ride that way, and also the
cycling divisions of the Greenville Rifle
Club. Both the carriages and bikes were
decorated with flags and attracted much
attention.
The party went via the Boulevard,
through Bayonne and across the Bergen
Point ferry, and thence to the Cove
Hotel, at West New Brighton, where
they spent the day in feasting and all
kinds of games.
After dinner there were bicycle races,
egg races, ball game and other sports.
The bicycle race was won by George
Renker and the egg race by George Purk-
ness. The egg race is particularly diff
cult, the feat being to pick W from the
ground eggs with a spoon while run
ming. The ball game was between the
Never Sweats and the Sons of Rest, the
former being the winners by the score
of IL to 4. Messrs. Robideaux and Chum-
ernif had cameras and took snap shot
pictures of the club in different attitudes.
On their return in the early evening a
stop was made and upp obtained at
Beals' Two Pines, Bergen Point, and
all arrived safely and soberly home in
good time.
Among the party were Joseph Kaiser,
Aldermen Barr and Gotthardt, City Mar
shall Vreeland, George and r. Hammel,
John J. Hill, George Berkes, NJ. Charlton,
George Lutzen. George Renker, Fred and

The more money people, who have
an idea that the issuing Of vast quanti
ties of money without regard to what it
is TO be redeemed in, will make every in
dividual rich, should note the condition
ofthings in Argentina, where the clrculat-
ing medium is up to 500 per capita.
This money, however, has a purchasing
power Of only 25 cents on the dollar and
the public debt of Argentina is S2C0 per
capita. That is the effect OF cheap
money, and the same thing would follow

The Transmit ississipni Exposition.

Never has there been anything sug
gested that will bring as many people
into Nebraska as the proposed Trans
mississippi exposition to be held at
Omaha IN 1898. Since the government
has recognized the undertaking and has
voted 100000 for its building and ex-
hibt it has become an assured fact.
In order to make the exposition sue
cess IN every particular it will be neces-
sary to keep the people all over the
country thoroughly posted on its posi-
bilities, its development and progress.
Every citizen of Nebraska should make
it his business to let his friends in all
parts OF the country understand that
this enterprise is to be second only to
the great Chicago Columbian exposi-
ton Of 1893.
The Omaha Bee proposes to devote
considerable space from now on to this
great enterprise, knowing that great
deal of publicity will be necessary 70
bring the people here at the right time.
1t has been suggested that rate be
made for subscriptions to The Bee that
will give everybody an opportunity To
send one or more papers to friends in
other states. Acting on this suggestion
the publishers OF The Weekly Bee haye
decided to make price Of 25 cents for
that paper, mailed to any address in
the country from the present time up
to January l, 1897. This price hardly
covers the cost of the white paper used
ir printing twelve-page paper tor this
length Of time, but the publishers feel
that the great exposition must be prop
erly advertised and are willing to do
their share toward helping along an
enterprise that is bound to be great
benefit to this state, as we'll as to the
entire western country. Orders should
be addressed to The Weekly Bee,
Omaha, Neb.

..PER CAPHTA,, OF CIRCULATION
Misleading Measure OF NatiOnai
Wealth and Prosperity.
New York w orld .

New York World
A correspondent is troubled about the
"per capita" of circulation. Referring to
the Worlds recent showing of the enor-
moue increase in silver production since
1878. he asks anAlously whether the ''per
capita" Of circulation is as great now as it
was during the first eighty-one years OF
the republic.
Behind this and like questions lies the
assumption that wealth and prosperity
are somehow measured and determined
by the per capita of money circulation.
How erroneous this is few official
figures will show.
Nobody will question that Great Bri-
tain is richer and more prosperous
country than Portugal for example
Yet the per capita circulation in Great
Britain in 1893, the latest year for which
general statistics are at hand, was only
1912, while that in Portugal was 10.
Again, France is very rich and pros
porous country, with per capita clrcula-
ton of 4O.56; but itls certainly not two
and halt times as rich and prosperous
as Great Britain. as it must be if the per
capita measure were in any degree trust
worthy.
Canada has per capita circulation of
only 1856, while Cuba and Havti have 81,
or about two and a half times as much.
Yet the Canadians would hardly consent
to exchange their prosperity for that of
the Spanish West Indies.
But granting to 'per capita"' every
thing that is claimed for it, we are fairly
we'll off in that respect. Our per capita
was IN 1893 "a 81 against Great Britain s
Is AZ, Germany's 1854 and Austria Hun
gary's 8. 70.
The truth is thao per capita circula-
tion is no measure at all of prosperity
or wealth or anything else. 1t is deter
mined by quite other conditions. and in
really prosperous countries where the
operations of business are large the
figures showing it are rendered mean
ingless by the enormous use OF COM
mercial credits in lieu of money in any
form. There is no idea more elusive
than the notion that more money in the
country necessarily means more money
in the pockets of the people, or within
their reach
When the Bland Allison act decreed
the coinage Of s4,50O,0o0 per month OF
silver dollars good many voters at the
south apparently expected that barrel
of the sinners would be opened a,
every crossroads, from which impecun-
| ious citizens could help themselves TO
their ''per capita share of the increased
circulation But it is not recorded tha,

indianapolis, Ind, Feb. s.-William
ii. English, who for more that half
century has been prominently denti-
fled with the commercial and political
life of Indiana, died Friday at The age
of "a. He is best remembered as the
democratic candidate for vice president
on the ticket with Gen. Hancock in
1880. He was at the time of his death
probably the wealthiest man in Indi-
ana, lis possessions being estimated
al $l,75o 900.
William Hayden English was born IN
Lexington, Scott county, Ind, August q.

many public trusts during a period of 80
years. William was educated in conl-
mon schools and at Hanover college. He
studied law and was admitted to practice
in the United States supreme court be-
fore he was 20 years of age. He was prin-
cipal clerk of the house of representatives
of Indiana I'm Si3-ii and principal Sec
rotary of the convention in 1850 which
framed the constitution of Indiana, AMI
was speaker OF the first house after its
adoption. He was clerk in the United
States treasury department during Folks
administration. and In the United States
senate about 1850. lie was prominently
identified with the compromise measure in
relation to the admission OF Kansas. THIS
measure, known as the English bill, after
ward became law. In 1850 Mr.. English
was unanimously nominated for vice pres
ident on the ticket with Gen. Hancock by
the democratic national convention. He
was president of the Indiana Historical So
ciety. and author of a historical and BIZ
ographical work on the constitution and
lawmakers of that stated
