More MOney in Circulation.

If there was any actual relation be-
tween the quantity of money in circula
ton and national prosperity, we would
now be on food tide. For more than
a twelvemonth now the amount OF
money in circulation in the United
States has been steadily on the increase.
July l, 1896, about the time the Chicago
platform was in the process OF incuba'
tion and the mouth of the popocrat was
full of demands for more of the clrcu'
lating medium, the total money in cir
culation in the United States was ST.
sos, ,725.2O0. making $2l.15 per capita on
an estimated population of 10000.
November /, 1896. on the eve CT the
election, when the people OF the United
States were to give their verdict against
debased and deprecated currency, the
money in circulation was $l,627,O55,
GA, making $22.G3 per capita on an es
timated population of 71,0O2,OOO.
March 1, 1897, on the eve of McKin
ley's Inauguration, the total money II
circulation in the United States hat
risen to the unprecedented sum of 81,
675,G04,953, making $23.14 per capita or
an estimated population of 72,41s,0O0.
To fully appreciate this increase o
the money in circulation in the United
States it is only necessary to say tina
in the last ten months it amounted Il
$165, 1853, or more than So per capitj
of the entire population.
While the absolute circulation ha
passed all previous high-water mark
the per capita circulation is still $1.3
below that of 1892, just before the panic
But the per capita is now higher thai
it was in 1890 or any year in the histor.
of the republic prior to that. The
why are the times not as good as the,
were along in the late SOS? Simpl
because good times depend on publ
confidence and industrial activity, AM
not on the amount of money in circula
ton. This is simply the teaching of tn
old proverb that a nimble siXpence
better than slow shilling.-Chicag

A TRIBUTE TO ART.
The Maid of Milesia and the Beautiful
Venus de Medici.

Venus de Medici.
Somewhere in Washington - just
where is not necessary to the main point
at issue in this short article on the de-
velopment and undevelopment of art i'll
the national capitals a mansion pre-
sided over by woman Of wealth and
refinement. She is a most artistic wom-
an, too, and in her house are some un-
usually fine pieces of painting and stat
uary. There is also Milesian maid, by
name Maggie, who knows deal more
about housecleaning than she does about
sculpture, and Maggie has been trying
for long time to cultivate her taste up
to the point of properly appreciating the
painted and carved beauty with which
she daily comes in contact.
Not many days ago the mistress and
the maid were going over the house with
brush and broom, putting it in especial
order for a musicale that was to be given
to a few artists and fashionables, and
the mistress observed that the maid on
three several occasions passed by with
cold neglect of cloth and brush beau
tiful figure of the "Venus de Medici, "
in an alcove just off the hall.
Here, Maggie!" she called. "Why
don t you brush the dust off this figure?
(Which wan, menu" inquired Mag
gle with great innocence.
"The Venus there in the alcove, OF
course. See''-and the lady touched ii
with her finger-"you have left dust all
over it. "
"Yis, men," confessed Maggie, "but
do be thinking for long time, mem,
that there aht to be something on it,
mem"
1t was delightful and logical excuse,
perhaps, but the lady could scarcely &C
cept it, and Maggie's brush removed
even the dusty drapery she wished t.
leave. WASHINGTON Star.

JUST A BOY.
:Aurence Hutton's "Reminiscences Of His
Juvenile Life In New York.

JuVcnno N 1NSW AoANs
He was not very good boy or very
,ad boy or a very bright boy or an un-
Usual boy in any way. He was just
boy, and very often he forgats that he
is not boy now. Whatever there may
be about the boy that is oommendable
he owes to his father and to his mother,
and he feels that he should not be held
responsible for it.
His mother was the most generous
and the most unselfish of human beings.
She was always thinking of somebody
else-always doing for others. To her
it was blessed to give, and it was not
very pleasant to receive. When she
bought anything, the boys stereotyped
query was, "Who is to have it?'' When
anything was bought for her, her own
invariable remark was, What on earth
shall do with it?" When the boy came
to her one summer morning. she looked
upon him as a gift from heaven, and
when she was told that it was boy,
and not bad looking or a bad condi'
toned boy, her first words were, "What
on earth shall do with it?''
She found plenty "to do with it" be-
fore she got through with it, more than
40 years afterward, and the boy has ev'
cry reason to believe that she never re-
gretted the gift. Indeed, she once told
him, late in her life, that he had never
made her cry. What better benediction
can boy have than that?
} The boy was redheaded and long
nosed even from the beginning-a shy,
E dreaming, self conscious little boy,
, made peculiarly familiar with his per-
sonal defects by the constant remarks to
7 the effect that his hair was red and that
his nose was long. At school for years
e he was known familiarly as Rufus,
Il "Redhead, ""Carrot Top" or "Nosy.

Four Miners Killed.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 26.-Satur-
day morning an explosion of gas oc-
Cured in mine No 2 at Blocton, and
four men were killed and 26 narrowly
escaped with their lies. Thirty men
were at work driving headings when
four Italians entered room in which
there was gas, The lamps in their
hats ignited the gas and the explosion
that followed shook the country for a
mile around. The timbering and coal
that fell cut off the escape OF the four
Italians entirely. The others managed,
aftergreat difficulty, to get out. Nearly
all were more or less bruised und
burned.

CAUGHT FOR LARGE SUMS.

Banks in Rhode Island and Massachusetts
Lose by the Failure OF Five Mill Corpora
tions at New Bedford.
New BEDFORD, Mass, April &c.
Much alarm is felt here over the con-
tinued absence from this city OF Will
liam D. Rowland, treasurer of the New
Bedford Manufacturing Corporation,
Rotch Spinning Co. and the Rowland
cotton mills, all three of which are in
financial difficulties, due principally to
the placing of the Bennett and Column
bia corporations in the hands OF re-
ceivers, and the revelation of irregu-
larities in the accounts OF the latter
two mills.
President Rotch has made known the
result of meeting on Saturday OF the
directors of the New Bedford, Rowland
and Rotch mills. These officials made
arrangements for the appointment OF
receivers. All sorts of rumors are
afioat as to the whereabouts OF Treas
urer Rowland. A clew to Howland's
fate is probably furnished by the cap
tain of the ferry boat which runs
across the river to Fair Haven. On a
trip from Fair Haven to this port at a
late hour Friday night the captain saw
row boat containing single oarsman
apparently rowing aimlessly about.
On the return trip of the ferry boat
the same row boat was seen, but the
occupant was gone. The boat was
drifting away before light breeze.
PROVIDENCE, R. l., April 2e.-Consid-
erable CONSERVATION has been caused
in financial circles by the announce
ment of the trouble in the Rowland,
Rotch and New Bedford corporations
The New Bedford mills have been re-
garded as reliable by the local banks
and their paper was freely taken
when offered. As a result they were
hit very hard by the Columbia end
Bennett mills, about $3.50, 1000 of this
paper having been in their vaults, and
Il Is believed that they have as much
more of the paper of the other three
corporations. The paper is well dis
tributed, however.
BosToN, April 26.-The Boston bank
holdings of the paper Of the Rowland
mill, of New Bedford, are estimated at
about S500,00O.

BAD DRIVES OUT GOOD.
Senator Jones Admits That There Can
De But One Standard of Value.

he But One Standard of Value.
No government can maintain at one
time more than one standard of value,
any more than it can maintain more
than one standard of weight, or more
than one standard of measure, or more
than one standard of length. If there
be two or more standards of different
value, the standard of lower value will
in practice become the only standard.
If one goes into the market, the law
being that yard shall be either two
feet or three feet in length, and buys
carpets by the yard at fixed price
there will be delivered to him carpets
measured in yards of two feet in length.
Ii he buy coal by the ton, the law being
that ton shall be either 1000 or 2,24O
pounds, he will receive tons Of 1000
pounds each If he buys potatoes by the
bushel, the law being that bushel
shall contain either two pecks or four
pecks, there will be delivered to him
bushels of two pecks each.
On the same principle, if the law be
that a dollar is either gold coin, witt
bullion value equal to its face value
or a silver coin, with bullion value o
only half its face value, and not con
vertible at par into gold coin, the sell
ers of the carpets, the coal and the pota
toes will be paid in dollars of the lessee
value.
There never has been and there neve
can be in any country at any time bl
metallic standard, and the attempt t.
create double standard has never pro
duced anything better than an alter
mating standard, with the inevltabl
consequences of injustice with refer
ence to past contracts and uncertaint
with reference to future contracts.
Indeed, Senator Jones admits in tn
report of the silver commission of 1877
that whenever under the double stanc
ard there is variance between the legt
and market relations of the metals tn
standard would be practically based o
one metal, and it the cheaper and MOI
available one" The financial history
the United States and Of France fnrnis
conclusive evidence of the accuracy
the senator's view on this point
