The arguments of Senator Vest, who is
leading the tariff debate on the Demo-
cratic side, have lost much of their weight
by the discovery of errors in the formid-
able table which he presented in his open
ing speech and by which he attempted to
show that the Wilson law had stimulated
exports of manufactures. More than
half of his statements were at variance
with the official figures of the Treasury
Department, while in nearly every case an
examination showed that the percentage
of gain in exports had been greater under
protective tariff than under the Wilson
tariff.

I hat effort t. manufacture gold under
tie supervision If the Treas ury experts
proved failure, as was anticipated by
them The fact, however, that the gold
mines Of the world are turning out the
precious metal in much greater quantities
than ever before, and that the gold sup
ply Of the world is now being increased
three times as rapidly as the population
of the world increases, warrants the be-
lief that the mercantile community will
get along very satisfactorily even if the
effort to make gold has proven failure.

The price Of silver bullion continues to
fall having within the past few days
reached the lowest point ever touched ex-
cept during the panic of 1894. The fact
within comparatively short time, aban-
doned the silver standard, and that three
of its most prominent supporters have
taken this action within the past few
weeks, has been one of the causes of this
depression. The enormous increase in
the production of geld has been another
important factor in bringing about this
result.

ness centres which reach members OF Con-
gress here are extremely gratifying. Duns
Review, which is accepted as reliable
business barometer, not controlled or in
ffuenced by political or other causes which
would affect its accuracy, presents the
most satisfactory trade statement for last
week that has been made since the present
business depression began. The state
ment was remarkable in it's showing of the
decided decrease in embarrassments in all
branches of trade and in reports of unusual
activity in all the industries in anticipation
of the passage of the tariff bill. The fail
ures reported in most branches of trade are
less in number than at any time in the last
thirty-six months, while the volume of
business transacted is, in quantity, larger
than in 1892, the year of our greatest pros
perity, the slight reduction in value being
due to the smaller prices paid for the ar
ticles of commerce handled. When it is
remembered that this happened before
the new tariff bill gets upon the statute
books, and with the industries Of the
country depressed by the importations of
foreign goods at the rate of over hun
dred millions month, the improvement
thus noted is very remarkable, and is prov
ing very gratifying to those who are fol-
lowing the situation closely.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Clear Water and Filter rlen Both
After Business,

The Board of Education held its
regular meeting last night all the
members being present.
Director Whitbeck reported that all
| the repairs ordered at the last meeting
had been completed. He recommended
that some work be done to the closets
at the Jefferson school.
The recommendation was adopted,
and the work ordered to be done under
the superintendence of the commit
tee.
Major Sherburn, from the Commit
tee on Furniture and Supplies, reported
that he had purchased a flag for the
High School. The committee was in
sructed to purchase a new flag for the
jefferson school also
Some other small matters of furni
ture We're ordered supplied the most
important being repairs to the cleo
tric clocks in two of the schools.
J. Q. Rue of the Blue Canyon Water
Company addressed the board, offer
ing to supply water to the schools at
the rate of one cent per gallon, as
test, the cost for the whole supply to be
500 a month for all the schools to the
end of the present school year. He
also offered TO supply receptacles for
the water free.
Some members spoke against the
proposition, as the finances would
hardly allow of the expense.
After discussion by the members, B.
Schilling addressed the board in favor
of putting in filters in preference.
An adverse report by the Furniture
and Supply Committee was rejected,
and the matter referred back to the
committee with directions to report to

Charles Johnson of NatOma Had His
Last Spree.

Deputy Coroner Craig went out to
Natoma yesterday and held an inquest
on a man named Charles P. Johnson,
who died in the morning after a few
hours illness.
Johnson was employed in the Natoma
Company's vineyard. He went on a
spree a few days ago and kept it up un-
til he was attacked by delirium tre-
mems. Between 10 o'clock at night and
in the morning he drank a quart of
Chinese gin and followed it up with
another quart of alcohol.
Then he said it seemed to him that his
stomach was on fire. He was doubtless
correct in his diagnosis of the case.
The jury returned a verdict of death
from alcoholism.
