The German "A merican Sound Money
League after thorough Investigation to
ascertain the attitude of German Ameri-
cans toward tho currency makes the fol-
lowing statement:
first: That of the 5S1 German Ameri-
can newspapers in this country which
discuss politics, 499 are in favor of the
present gold standard, 80 are for bimet-
alllsm OIL free coinage of silver, and 43
are doubtful. A majority of the said
newspapers are published west Of the
Alleghanies.
Seconds: That ninety per cent of the
5erman- American voters are in favor of
the mainten ance of the present gold
standard and will support only that party
which in its platform declares itself un-
equivocally In favor of that standard;
that they will not vote for Presidential
candidate, who, by his letter of accep-
tance, does not pledge himself to sland
by this declaration.
Third: The party which in its plat
form and through its candidate for Pres
ldent will declare emphatically for the
maintenance of the sold standard will
command almost the entire German vote,
regardless of party affiliations.
While there has been no such pains
taken to ascertain.the sentiments of other
citizens of foreign birth or extraction, as
have boon taken in the case of the Ger
mans. it is undoubtedly fact that the
silver heresy so called is much more DR. e.
valent among native Americans than
among naturalized Americans. 1t finds
its greatest support among tho agricul-
tural population of the South and West
which is to a large extent-ma up of
native Americans. Foreigners who come
to us are generally pretty sound on the
subject OF money, perhaps because good
many of them have seen and felt the
evils of depreciated and fuctuating
currency.

Mr.. Coolidge says either Southern wages
must go up OF New England wages fall.
Many New England manufacturers have
gone South, and more are going. This
Southern competition is one against
which the tariff can afford no protection,
and If it Is going to continue, especially
II it is going to increase, as seems prob
able, New England wages must

Grew. Serene E. Bishop in the Independ-
emit.
After 10 years of inaction the summit
crater of our greater volcano, Mauna
Loa is again in magnificent activity. AS
might be expected after SO long a rest the
new eruption has appeared in immense
force. 1t first appeared on April 81,
soon after midnight, in the form of a
column of brilliant fire projected from
the summit some 1000 feet aloft, where
it famed out into vast body of smoke.
1t was so seen from both Hilo and
Kawaihde, each over 40 miles in direct
line. 1t was seen at the same moment
from steamer leaving Molokai 100 miles
away, MS bright vertical line suddenly
appearing little above the horizon.
The bright glow on the clouds above the
eruption has since been conspicuous
object, not only at Lahaina, ITO miles
but also on heights near Honolulu, $50
miles away. That initial fire column
seems to have lasted about four days,
when the fire mountains subsidized below
the walls of the crater and thHa heavy
pail of smoke disappeared, to be succeeded
by the usual volcano cloud of steam, al
ways overhanging great heated masses
and brightly rejecting their glow. Such
invariaple yapor cloud owes its existence
to the indraft of air over the fire, which
air, becoming heated, rises, and reaching
a sufficient height and rarefying, precip-
itates it's former burden of water vapor
in the form of cloud. Such an isolated
mass of white cloud always ha ngs about
Kilanea. Such a cloud now nightly
filings out it's fiery banner over
NJ okuaweoweo.
In order to form any clear apprehen-
sion of the characte Of this eruptive
action, it seems necessary to understand
something about the true nature of the
force which generates this stupendous
activity. The dimensions of the two
fountains enable one easily to estimate
that 500. 600 cubic feet, or 60 600 tons of
molten rock, are projected out of the
earth's interior every second. And this
immense weight has been forced to a
height of .13, 500 feet above the sea level
in addition to the estimated 25 miles of
thickness Of the earth's crust. The
molten stream rushes out of the shaft,
or duct, in which it asoends, at a speed
of 100 feet in second, or over one mile
in minute. Here is an enormous.
continuous steady force to be accounted
for. What is it?
After long personal observation of vol
oanic phenomena and study of various
theories 1t seems to me that the true KEY
OF the nature of this mighty upheaving
forco is to be found in sentence in the
Krakatoa report OF the royal society writ
ten by the eminent volcano, specialist, j.
W. Judd: LAS I shall show when l pro-
coed to discuss the nature of the materi-
ais elected from Krakatoa. the cause Of
the eruptive action was due to the dis
engagement Of volatile substances actual
ly contained in these materials. -
The truth seems clear that the whole Of
the intensely heated molten interior mass
of our globe is saturated with gases, min
utely incorporated with the molecules of
its metallic elements, just as metorio
stone is found to be saturated with hy-
drneen and other gases included in its

tariff is to be revised, but il is to be re-

will be hurt. Yet before election the at

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE FLEMING TRIAL A DISGRACE
IN. Y. Evening Post)

The Fleming trial was disgrace to
the whole country. The length of time
taken In finding q jury, owing to the
absurdlty OF the tests, would alone dis
credit both our manners and morals. 1t
is perhaps, however, lucky that the last
trial under our old system should be SO
great scandal. The Barrett jury law had
not come into operation when it began,
but this law will probably take charge
of the next case of the kind 1t provides
for special jury taken from panel Of
5000 for the trial of sensational and
exciting cases. This panel will be made
up by a competent commissioner, Mr..
Gray, and will be composed Of known
men Of more than ordinary character and
understanding. Consequently they will
not be asked such absurd questions as
whether they have read about the case
In the newspapers, and whetl er, II they
were impanelled, they would probably
disregard all the obligations of truth,
honesty, and decency by which they feel
bound in the ordinary affairs of life

ordinary Importance persons sery-
ing on it,. who may not be called
on to serve more than cnoe in 10 years.

and we would advise everybody who
does not enjoy either serving on petty
juries or paying fine, and who feels
himself an Intelligent and honest man,
to try and get on Mr.. Gray list.
THE CAMEL AND ITS MASTER.
Chicago Inter-O OCEAN,
Little did the leading Democrats of the
state dream of what it meant, four years
ago, to allow Judge Altgeld to be nomi-
mated for Governor. 1t had been 40 years
since the state had elected Democrat to
the governorship, and the leaders were
glad to find somebody who would consent
to bear the expense and toll of the posi-
ton. But the tidal wave swept all before
it, and now they find that it is the old
story over again of the camel and his
master. There was not room enough in
the tent for man and beast, and the
original occupant had to vacate. This
is hard on the man, but Nov. 8 is not so
very far off, and then "the whole thing"
will he nothing.
