international BimetaIlism

PARIS, May 29.-There were 400 del.
egates present at the annual meeting
OF the National Bimetallic league
deputy Fougoirol presiding. M
Inrey. secretary of the league, read
.ne report. The report said: "The
English horizon is less dark than as.
serted. The presence of the American
delegates in Paris may greatly hasten
solution of the question. France
and America could easily come tn an
agreement II England was inclined to
= serious effort in favor of silver, and
germany would follow her example,
II is upon this that the question of In
.elnationai bIme'allism therefore de-
Ponds for its practical solution"

Exemplifying the familiar adeag
that "a nimble sixpence is better than
slow shilling" the Chicago Times
Herald proceeds to prove that, if there
was any ACTUAL relation between the
quantity of money in circulation and
national prosperity, we would nDw be
on flood tide. For more than twelve
months now the amount of money in
circulation in theUnited States has
been steadily on the increase. July
LIST, 1896, about the time the Chicago
platform was in process of incubation
and the mouth of the popocrat was
full of demands for more of the Cir
culating medium, the total money in
'circulation was 81 500, 725 200, making
$21.15 per capita oman estimated
population OF 71,390,OOO.
+: November 1, 1896, on the eve of the
election, when the people of the United
States were to-. give their verdict
against debased and deprecated cur
rency, the money in circulation was
81 ,627 ,O55,614 making $22.63 per
capita on an estimated population of
100000.
March l, 1897 on the eve of McKin-
ley's Inauguration, the total money in
circulation in the United States had
risen to the unprecedented sum of l.
675, 694, 1858, making $23.14 per capita
on an estimated population of Y, 49,
900.
To fully appreciate this increase of
the money in circulation in the Uni
ted States it is only necessary to say
that in the last ten months it has
amounted to $165,969,753 or more
than So per capita of the entire popu-
lation.
While the absolute circulation has
passed all previous high-water marks
the per capita circulation is still $1.3O
below that of 1892, just before the
panic. But the per capita is now
higher than it was in 1890 or any year
in the history of the republic prior to
that. Then why are times not SO
good as they were in the sos? Sim
ply because good times depend on
puclic confidence and industrial ac-
tivity, and not on the amount of
money in circulation, This is simply
the teachings of the old proverb that
"a nimble sixpence is better than a
slow shilling."-Sidney Independent.

The ''POlly's" Guns.

The story of the old Russian gun
boat Politkofsky again comes before
the public by the gift of one of its
guns by John A. Campbell, of the Port
Blakely Mill Company, to the Univer-
sity of Washington Museum. This is
undoubtedly the most valu able gift
that it has been the fortune of the
University to receive for some time,
considering the history of the vessel
and the part it has played in the early
days of Washington Territory and
Alaska. The old "Polly" has served
her purpose long and we'll and today
lies in quiet nook in the busy har-
Dor across the bay where the great
mills keep up continual hum. The
sides of the vessel have been cut down
and all the machinery removed, leav-
ing her only relic of past usefulness.
She carried four guns when in the
Russian service. Two of the guns are
now in Port Blakely, third is on the
steamer Favorite, being used as bal
last, and the fourth has been present
ed to the University. This gun is the
most valuable one of all, as it was sen
out from Russia, and for long time
was in one of the Russian forts in
Alaska. It bears the Russian coat of
arms. It will be placed in the muse
UNI, among the honored relics, as the
first OF its kind yet presented.
Politkofskv came into the posses
sion of the United States in 1867,
when Alaska was purchased from the
Russian Government. Lewis and
Dryden's Marine History gives the
year 1866 as the date when she was
built, although Capt. Frank Smith,
who for fourteen years was her cap
tain, claims that she was built in Sit
ka in 1883. She was sample of the
Russian gunboats, at that time and
was used in the Alaskan waters along
with several others of similar struct-
ure, all of which became the property
of the United States. Her engines
were of improved pattern and the
boilers entirely of copper. Shortly af-
ter the transfer she became the prop
erty of the Alaska Commercial Com
pany, with Capt Kohl in charge, who
took the steamer to San Francisco, re-
moved the boilers and replaced them
with iron ones, 1t is told that the
copper and brass on the vessel were
sold for more than sufficient to cover
her purchase price.
G. A. Meiggs, of the Port Madison
Mill Company, became her next own
er and she was used on the Sound for
towing and general traffic, at times
being used to carry passengers and
the mail. In 1879 Dexter Horton &
Go. purchased her from Meigs for
5000, and sold her to the Port Blake
ly Mill Company, the present owners.
She was used by the Port Blakely Mill
Company for towing logs up until
about SIX months ago, when the
steamer Favorite, which also has quite
history, took her place.
Capt. Frank Smith, now captain of
the Favorite for the Blakely Mill Com
pany, was for fourteen years on the
"Polly."-Seattle Times.

The days are dark and

also. Darkness comes early,
too. The moon is a bit un-

good one at the present time.
We can talk about lamps be-
cause we carry stock that
cannot be excelled in Homo
lulu. They come in all sizes,
styles, and prices. We have
hanging lamps, from moderate
cost to elaborate designs; hall
lamps; piano lamps; banquet
lamps; lamps for the boudoir;
nickel,plated lamps for stud
ents; bracket lamps; two,
three and fortnight chande-
liers. We have mammoth
Rochester lamps which can
give electric arc lights cards
and spades for brilliancy, Some
people go through the house
in the middle of the night
playing blind mans buff over
tables, chairs and other old
things, in vain attempts to
locate a particular object, when
if they had a small night lamp,
such as we sell, they might
have avoided personal injury
and the breaking of a COM
mandment. A piano lamp
would add wonderfully to the
appearance Of your parlor-
