WHAT MIKES THE SILVER CRAZE.

The Birmingham State Herald gets
down to cold facts in the following:
The State Herald has this morning
the ''Montly Summary of the Finance
and Commerce of the United States, y
prepared by the bureau of statistics of
the treasury department. 1t is cor
rected to April 1st., and the work Is
unusually valuable and instructive at
this iuncture.
1t gives us figures bearing upon the
evils of the single gold standard which
not all the eloquent and intellectual
dexterity of Secretary Carlisle can
make to appear contrary to his declara-
ton in 1873 that the decentralization
of silver was "the greatest crime of
this or any other age"
The very first thing this volume of
official statistics shows is that the
three years just passed of Mr.. Cleve-
lands present gold standard admins
tration have spent more money than
any three since the year after the war,
when the army of the United States
was reduced to peace footing. 1t
shows also that the excess of expendi-
lures by the government in these pip
ing times of peace for three years Just
passed was $139, 3O6,87O. We are thus
steadily going to the bad at the rate of
SO, 800 900 per month. Up to date the
excess of expenditures for the first
quarter of 1896 is S., PIE, 242.36.
And let's see how the store of gold
and silver of this country is faring I'M
der the gold mOnOmetallic system with
its gold reserve and hired syndicate
to keep gold from going abroad.
The three months of January, Febru-
airy and March of 1895, by the figures
of imports and exploits, show that we
have lost in gold $50, 642 1892; in silver
$50, 758, 204. Here is contraction of
metallic currency alone of $84, 4O1 1876.
We are also informed by this inter-
esting and timely volume that there
has in all forms of circulation been a
decrease of $6O,97S, $50 since February
1, 1898.
Things were much better under the
former Cleveland administration. BY
the persistence of democratic congress
men obedient to the will of the people
this government had taken very decid-
ed steps towards the restoration of sill
yer. During the four years of Mr..
Cleveland's first administration more
silver was being added to circulation
under the Bland-Allison coinage act
than ever before. Under that, compro-
mise and makeshift as it was, gold
came back and this country was in a
fairer way for genuine return of
prosperity than it has ever been at
any time since 1874, when the,coin-
age of the standard silver dollar was
dropped.
Here are the fl CURES:
First four years of Mr.. Cleveland's
first administration, under a silver
coinage law; Excess of receipts

wEYLE RS PALACE SHAKEN.

Dynamite Tears Away Part of the Building
Occupied by the Governor General.
special from Havana says: An ex-
explosion occurred in the palace of the
governor general at 11:3O this morning,
while the correspondent of the Associa-
ted Press and other representatives of
newspapers we're waiting iu the anteroo N
for the first batch of news of the dav,
The defamation was sharp and the
building was soon partially filled with
dust, while theinoise of breaking glass
and falling plaster could be heard on all
sides. Part of the roof of the palace
fell:in,
The explosion occurred in a closet,
situated in in low story or basement
under the city hall, which part of the
building was converted in heap of
rubbish.
The walls were toru, great stones fell
and printer belonging to the captain
! general Office was wounded.
1t was at first believed that the steam
boiler had exploded; but when that was
found to be intactl it was suspected that
the destruction was caused by dynamite.
The real cause of the disaster, is not
known.
The greatest excitement prevails here
as a result of them explosion, which,
naturally, is attributed to the insurgents
or their friends.

VICTIMS or POLITICS.

Don't go into politics for fun, ad-
vises an exchange. 1t may be fun at
the start, but it is crucifixion at the
last. Phe path of politics is lined on
both sides with the bleached skeletons
of mighty men. Gland us another, :"
says public life, as it pitches one man
aside and clutches some promising man
in law or merchandise or social posi-
ton. Politics must be reformed, and if
you have the martyr spirit go into
them; but if you undertake that style
of life for regalement and profit you
make mistake that cannot be correct
ed. A United Stats senator writes this
advice to boy:
If l were to express any regrets or
designate any great error of my life, it
would be that had ever connected my
self with party politics, or accepted a
political office. If you would be hap
Ply or useful, Or,self-respecting, / would
advise you to let party politics and po-
ltlcal positions severely alone. The
only safe spirit in which to enter poll
tics IS the martyr spirit, and then if
you are sacrificed, you need not be sur
prised. The fact that you have great
brains affords nOssafety. That is the
very reason why you will be viciously
handled"
