WRONG AGAIN.
Senetor sherman Misquoted the Statistics
The aIint DIreetQr's FIgurea.

Senator sherman Misquoted the Statistics
The Stint Directors FiHurea.
In his Columbus speech Senator Shere
man said that In the act of 1853 "the
silver dollar wps not mentioned and
practically was excluded from coinage
pnd circulation" and that "the drop.
ping of the standard silver dollar in the
pct of 1873 was precisely rs was done
in 1853"
Now either John Shermnn's assertion
or The report Of the director of the mint
is wrong. One fatty contradicts the
other and most people will think that
fhe director ought TO know more abou:
this matter than John Sherman.
According to the directcr's report
there was but one year from 1853 to
1873 in which silver dollars were not
coined, the exception being 1857. In
1871 there were I,1l7,136 dollars coined
and in 1873 i.11s.600. In 1879 the mint
had turned out 2o6. 600 when operations
were suddenly slapped by the passage
or the aot of February IL. which dropped
the dollar from the list OF opins and
prohibited its further coinage. From
the passage of the act of 1878 until the
passage of the Bland-Allison act of
1878, not dollar was coined. the sill
yer work Mt the mints being confined
to subsidiary coins. So II appears John
Sherman is wrong; wrong again. but
that Is nothing unusual for John: he is
used to being wrong.--Albany Times

bubiicons.

The man who owes the
banker a aate Of $500 will,
with the single gold standard,
be compelled to pay one thous-
and ($l, ,OO0ldollars to dis
charge it, and the banker who
has 5000 loaned out will re-
cieve one thousand dollars in
discharge oft. 1t is therefore
very natural, if not very pa
triotic, if the banker should
want every dollar he has loan
ed out to be worth two dollars.

me to be worth while TO denounce

be after McKinley's election to work
earnestly. without crimination or re-

RicycIes on Rnata

If all the steamers that make southern winter trips from New York were to keep number of bicycles on board, there is hardly doubt that these wheels would pay for themselves in a short time. When touching at the various ports it would not only give the passenger chance to go ashore and get rid of his sea legs, but afford him the quickest, cheapest and easiest way of seeing the sights and getting a constitutional at the same time.

 marks the final caye-in of the treasury department, which for long time, even after the passage of the bill requiring government buildings to be designed by competent architects not connected with the department, refused ta sae the light. Carlisle has seen it now.
 Government buildings of the Mullett and succeeding eras have been useful to frighten bad children into better be- havior. ''Now, Johnnie,' says the fond parent, eff you don't behave I will take you out and show you the New York post of1ice." And the terrified Johnnie shuts up. But the bogie building is of no use to older people, either mentally or aesthetically.
 Cobb, by all accounts, is a good man and has done splendid work in the past. The profession looks to him to so far surpass the buildings erected under the old system that even Secretary Carlisle will become reeonciled to the will of congress. OWEN LANGpoN.
