can discover from the statements made
in the Eastern press by operators, there
has been manifest no disposition nor
entertained any idea of denying to min

are entitled to. But the operators rea-
sonably declare that unless they can
have better prices they cannot pay bet

erned by sliding scale, SO that they
may keep pace with prices.
But any agreement to maintain prices
in order to pay better wages will be con-

an agreement under arbitration that

Not Eoual TO the Test.

There is a business man in this town
who is a terror to stenographers. His
amanuensis, who has been with him
for a long time, was recently taken
sick. The employer mailed a letter to
a local business college to send him a
stenographer and typewriter. The
business man is very particular about
his vocabulary, and wants everything
written just as he dictates it. There
fore, in order to test the newcomers
accuracy, he, instead of debating an
ordinary business letter, gave forth the
following at a rate of speed that would
do justice to a stump speaker:
I'm promulgating your esoteric cogf-
tation or articulating your superficial
sentimentalities and amicable philo-
sophical or psychological observations
beware Of platitudinous ponderosity.

The Treasury reports for July LIST
show there was on that date $3.50
900 more in circulation in the United
States than on the same date one year
ago This increase is about S1a per cent.
So, then, the circulation IS growing just
about four times as fast as the growth
of population, which does not exceed :
per cent. a year. These are facts our
Bryanite friends will have difficulty in
explaining away. Here is another stub
born fact. The highest circulation per
capita ever attained in our country was
S24 so. Now, on the basis of 70,ooO,-
600 population, the per capita Is 80,
or if the higher figure of II ,0OO,OOO pop
ulation is insisted upon, but without
sufficient warrant, it is slightly less
figure for the per capita. If things
keep on this way what will Mr.. Bryan
do. to be sure, when 1900 rolls around?
His ammunition will be exhausted.
with wheat and silver flying from each
other as if there existed inveterate ha-
tired between the two, with the vol
ume of the circulating money increas-
ing. and the per capita rising, what
will he do? On top of it all here comes
Kansas. which has been the awful ex-
ample" that has been held up all over
the land; here comes Kansas and shows
by her official reports that the banks
of the State have two and a quarter
millions more money on hand now than
at this date last year in deposits made
by the people of the State afflicted by
Mary Ellen and Jerry. and over which
the Populist administration was so re-
nowned. The outstanding loans of the
banks. says the official Commissioner
of the State, are more than SS21 900
less. the reserve fund is now Al per
ton of but % per cent, and for the
first time in their history the bank
deposits exceed the loans. This means
that with all their roaring and groan-
ing, and hypoeritical shifting, the Kan
sas people have been making and saw
ing money, paying off their debts and
living we'll meanwhile. Let us hear
no more of bleeding, corporation and
money oppressed and alphabetically
ridden Kansas: it is all fraud, a
cheat and a clear swindle. If we hear
anything more of explosions from the
lips of Jerry Simpson and Mrs. Lease,
and any more stories about abandoned
farms and rusting hinges; anything
more about cyclones. ehinch bugs,
grasshoppers. the rust and debt in
Kansas. we should refuse to believe.

The Duty of Rest,

OF all the tired men and women l
know, the one who appeals to me most
is a public school teacher Forty-five
eager, active growing minds to guide
and control all winter, to satisfy and
stimulate! Not many tasks have equal
ed it. l was condoling with one the 9TH
er day, when she said she wished the
world would understand better the duty
of rest
The duty of rest!
1 confess that the idea was new to
me. I had thought of rest as a pleasure
and as a privilege; l had regarded it
as a necessity; and I had even at times
looked upon it as a temptation when
obligations drew me one way and IA
tigue dragged me down in another.
But rest as a duty opened quite an
other point of view.
1t must have been meant as a duty,
though, originally, else one day in seven
would never have been commanded.
But the why of its being duty we
have been left to discover for ourselves.
II was Bishop Brooks who first made
me see that recreation might mean re-
creation. / had little of the Puritanic
idea, which he helped to dispel / rec
ognized, too, as he spoke, that the uni
verse was full of great inspirational and
renewing forces, which were always
playing in on US, as the air is breathed
into our lungs before we are able to
make conscious effort. Be receptive,
and they fill US.
Our duty, then, I suppose, is toward
these forces; to rest from our human
activities until they play in on us, and
so rebuild us. For most of US, after all,
are so eager in the pursuit of one idea
an idea sometimes of pleasure, some
times of gain-that we detach ourselves,
as it We're from the main purpose of our

ton; that it is all right to send the
offenders to the rock pile, but all wrong
to compel them to wear mans cloth
ing. And SO there is a TODD in Kan
sas City over breeches or no breeches.
The Police Commissioners reply that
women are not degraded by wearing
bath suits at the sea side or boomers
on bicycles, and no insult is therefore
offered by enforcing trousers on the
rock pile. The Commissioners are
wrong. 1t is or ought to be beneath
them to send a woman to the rock pile,
no matter how low she may have sunk
in the human scale. The good women
are wrong in making their fight over
the matter of costume. They should
base it upon the wrongfulness of COM
polling women to break stone, and to
associate with DRINKS, tramps and
petty larcenists on the rock heap. 1t is
cruel and unusual punishment, and if
the matter is brought into court we be-
lieve it will be so held

KING SOLOMON'S MINES.
THEY ARE STILL YIELDING THE
PRECIOUS METAL.
No Doubt That Certain Workings
in Spain Once Belonged to
the Great King.

King Solomon, in the fourth year Of
his reign, began the building of the
Temple, or the House of the Lord. The
length of the Temple was sixty cubits.
And the hight was thirty cubits and the
breadth was twenty cubits. The Tenn
pie was built of stone, made ready be-
fore it was brought thither; so that
neither hammer nor ak nor any tool
was heard in the house while it was
building
He built an oracle in the Temple,
twenty cubits long. twenty cubits
broad and twenty cubits high, and he
overlaid it with gold.
Solomon then overlaid the Temple
within with gold and precious metals.
He made a partition of chains before
the oracle and OVERLAND them with gold.
And all the statues and images in the
Temple, as Well as all the vessels and
utensils, We're of precious metals. And
after he had finished all the Temple
he oVerlaid the whole building with gold
and precious metals.-1 Kings vi. and
vii.

City have ordered that women convict
ed of offenses punishable by local i'm

along with men. But as they cannot

CHINESE SLAVERY.

There appears TO be humiliating in
capacity on the part of American ohl-
GERS and laws to put an end to the
Infamous slavery praeticed by the chi
nese in California. They buy and sen
female children in San Francisco with
apparent impunity. The ether day
three Chinese girls, the eldest scarcely
IA, escaped from their masters to whom
their mother had sold them, and sought
refuge in a mission, whence the par
ents are now seeking TO take them by
invocation of the law.
Another child slave managed to send
to humane association a piteous ap-
peal to come to her rescue. She stated
that she had been sold to cruel mas
ter and was closely confined oehino
bars. She gave the location of her
nrison and fixed an hour when she
would appear at the grating and give
a signal Supported by police officers
the agents of the society went TO the
place and at the head of a flight or

peared and gave the signal; instantly
and while the rescuers hesitated TO
break through, a minion of the master
appeared. threw a mantle over the
girls head and dragged her scream
ing away. When an entrance was eff
fected no trace of the child could be
found in the den, nor of other child
slaves known to have been in the place.
They had been thrust through long
dark passages and secret ways and
locked in other quarters.

Chinese girl, born of a white mother;

posed to Chinese life; a graduate OF

woman. was sold by her parents IN
San Francisco to a Chinese rake. She
sought the protection of a mission ana
when it was afforded, the parents APP
pealed to the courts to restore her TO
slavery. Happily the appeal failed, and
the girl was saved from the vilest life
imaginable, and is now under guardian

1t is asserted that Chinese slavery
in San Francisco was never so pold,
bad and cruel as at this time. What
has emboIdened these traffickers in hu-
man flesh? Why is it that the officers
of the municipalities and the State and
Federal Government are unable to
make the assurance good that in this
free land there shall be no bondage,
no involuntary servitude except in pun
ishment for crime?

the great prophet, addressed the multi
tudes from the steps of the Temple as
extremely remote, yet even this was so
recent that Daniel was unable to find
the source from which Solomon pro-
cured his metal all traces of the fabu-
fous treasure vaults having been lost
hundreds of years before, and appar-
emily forever.
Hidden from the world in the then
unknown land of Spain, they We're mute
witnesses of the advent of civilization.
In the dim dawn of human history
when the peopling of the world began,
they were there, and were co-existent
with the birth and death of races so
remote that even history fails to record
them.
1t is strange how Solomon came to
discover these treasure caves. Neither
history nor the Bible makes any ref
erence to the manner in which he found
them. They We're far away from his
place of birth. 1t is thought more
than likely that Hiram, King of Tyre,
was the real finder, and that he COM
municated the discovery to Solomon,
who at once proceeded to extract the
metal. What is now Southern Spain
was then the richest and most valued
of the Phoenician possessions. The land
was mine of wealth to them, and
Hiram was we'll acquainted with its
great caves and riches. So great was
its wealth in gold, silver, copper and
precious metals that even the ships
of the Phoenicians carried silver an
chors"
1t was at this time that Hiram jour-
neyed to Jerusalem, where he met Solo
mon and took part in the building of
the Temple. He became a goldsmith,
as it were, to Solomon, and it was he
that furnished the Temple with such
stores of precious metals from the
mines of Spain that silver soon became
SO common that it accounted as moth
ing in the Temple" as we read in the
First Book of Kings.
THE GREAT TEMPLE.
Ruins of the Temple are still stand
ing near the eastern wall of the present
Jerusalem. Excavations have been
made of one of the ruined walls and a
series of piers have been unearthed.
These originally supported the arches
of the bridge which Solomon built to
span the valley connecting the Temple
with Jerusalem
The unearthed wall IS IN a good state
of preservation, retaining as it does
trace of the massive and perfect char
acter of the Temples architecture, and
bringing to mind some of it's past glor-
les and sanctities. Many Of the stones
are twenty-five feet in length, and APP
parently have remained undisturbed
since the time Solomon placed them
there. Beneath the foundations of the
Temple have been unearthed various
subterranean chambers and passage
ways of immense size.
None of the Temples gorgeous orna-
ments has been discovered, although it
is believed that fragments of them may
yet be found under the hidden founda-
tions.
1t was these ornaments of gold and
precious metals that made Solomon's
Temple the most wonderful building
the world has ever known. To obtain
this treasure the Temple was plundered
no less than twelve times and thous
ands of men slaughtered.-New York
Herald.

Never before in the history of the
republic did the exports of the ma
ton reach so high a value for any year
as at the close of the month of June
for the fiscal year 1897. OF domestic
merchandise the excess over 1896 was
Sli0O00,000 Total foreign and do
nestle export $685., 606, 93S in 1896.
While this year the figure is S1,051,-
9Sl o91. For the year ending June Both
our imports of merchandise amounted
to Sl64 800, of which 1881 ,932 500
was free of duty. Our total imports
were about S15, 350,000 less than for
the last fiscal year. The excess of ex-
ports over imports was $2S7, 613, 1856. So
after all the pother about anticipatory
imports, the balance is on the right
side of the ledger. Mr.. Bryan may
