An Adyautap pe of Gold,

The great advantage of the singi. gold standard is that 1t furnishes sim ole end exact standard for transactions It satisfies the requirements of exactness in the standard of measurement wbIcE Is just as important here as in physice The greater the transactions of civilized nations the finer the shades of difference which become decisive. Hence this class of transactions is only possible where exactness of me ssurement is pos sible. All the great transactio5s are credit transactions. The great function of money in such traneRc:ioDs is ss 8 standard of reference for the definition ot the essential terms of the trausaction. In the modern world this function of money tranecends all others. Coinage cbangee, t6e wear of coins, the degree of accuracy in the workmanship of a mint, the minutest facilities or obstacles in the usa2es of banks and hints ip g given country, enter into the exchange transactions of that country with every other.-Prof. W.

SMALLPOX AMONG PAPAGOS
Fears That it Wili Spread Cver the
 Border.

Papggo Iadiepe gre dy;ng rapidly in SonUia, Mexico, from the rRvages of sua.ipoz and grave feers are eDtsrtBin- d iba: the ecourge will cross the bcrds [ to th 8 country. Authentic news is very hard to get, ss the Mexican sutho. citias are dcing ali in their power to prevent the dreaded disease from spread. ing.
 A few days ago Collector of Customs Sam Weoo Of Nogales teleR aphed Gov nor tran lID that smallpox h ad broken out on ths Mexican side of the border and stated that there was DO sanitary inspector stationed st that point to pre- veht the plague from spreading to the American side oi the border. He re- commended thnt George w. Cnsnowetb be appointed to tll the position. The dispatch YVES forwarded to Washington to Governor Franklin and it is not known whether he has taken my action | in the matter.
 l A gentleman who osma in from the south yesterday morning reported chat smallpox had appeared in tie Sacaton i Indian agency. Coi. J. Roe Yourg g, the Indian agent, arrived ln the city yester- | day morning and be was asked by a | Republican epresentRtlve If there VIZ any truth in the report that the dissese
 @ae eplde mic among his Indians.
 "Thsre is not a solitary case of small. pox on the reservation" he answered, ''aithough the Indians in Sonora are , dying in large numbers. l was warned several deys ago of the epidemic ID Sonora, and immediately took all neces. sary precautions to keep the plagre from appearing among the Pspagos on the reservation. 1 have established s strici quarantine on the railroad from Gils Bend to Tucson and all along the line. Not a Papsgo is allowed to croes the line, ard I have issued orders to the | Papegos living along the Mexican border ! to stay at home. and not make any at. tempt to come into the Sacaton agency. They generally pay attention to my orders and will in this case, unless they | become panic stricken.
 "I have sent a squad of policemen to patrol the border to drive back all ! Iudians who sttempt to cross ard to 1 investigate all tte villages where smar l BOX is reported.

ever, as I am satisfied that the stric: quarantine have inetituted will keep the disease from appearing in this sec tion of the country. 1 have sent the agency physIoisn to the affected dis triots to make . thorough investigation and to diagnose the caees, and sn now awaiting his report
 Col. Young eaid that from what he has lesrhed the smailpox now epidemic in Mexico ia different f om the cases of th+t disease that have previously come under his notice. Ia the cases reported to him the patients are covered with large cores that fill with magRots, making it very sggravating to treat them.
 The Irdians on the Sscatop reserva. ton are in remarkably healthy oondi- ton and there is very little sickness of any nature. due to the stringent sani. tary rules enforced by the agent ard tho physician. The Indians fully sp- preniste the danger of smallpox and are taking proper precautions to prevent outside Indisns from coming on the reservation. There is absolutely no danger to this section, ss nothing will be left undone to oonfine the plague to the distriots now affscted.-Republic- an.
