Increased Circulating Medium

Something over year ago Mr.. Bryan
was stating that the only way to increase
the circulating medium of the country
was by the adoption of the free coinage of
silver, and yet the treasury figures show
that to-day there are millions and millions
more money in circulation than when this
statement was made

Deficit Days Nearly over.

1t will be a novel sensation for treasury
clerks to be confronted each month by a
treasury surplus rather than a deficit
The receipts under the new tariff law

of the Wilson law at a corresponding
date last year, and the days of deficits are

collection of delinquent taxes are very

Major w. S. Millar arrived home Satur-
day afternoon at 1.30 o'clock from a ten
days inspection tour OF the various regi-
ments, National Guard of Pennsylvania,
in the eastern part of the state. He came
direct from Lock Haven Major Millar
said that the inspection showed a large
increase in the numbers of the guards.
The discipline was excellent and, as a
whole, the rating was even better than
in former years. Major Millar discovered
that there had been a good deal of dissat-
isfaction over the failure of the state to
send the guards to Washington. The
feeling has, however, quieted down some
what and when camp times comes it will
be all forgotten.
Saturday evening eX-Sheriff Charles
Robinson, John Benore and Victor Koch
returned from their southern and western
trip. The gentlemen expressed themselves
as having enjoyed the sojourn. While at
Hot Springs the Scranton party, includ-
ing Charles H. Millar and +. j. Fish,
who remain a week longer, literally
owned the resort. For the time being
the society of the place was ''cornered"
by the Scranton contingent. The trip re-
suited in much benefit to health of the
members of the party.

The American Policy.

The language used In the senate last
week, during the Sanguilly debate, by
Hon. John Sherman, who is to be, after
Thursday, our secretary of state, Is
worthy of a second repetition. More
than that; It is fit to be engraved as
motto and put above the desk OF
every American official representing the
interests of this government in a for
eign land. Here it is:
II trust in God the time will never
come when / will see an American citi-
zen wronged of his rights and perse-
cuted unjustly, by any power, great
or small. / am opposed to wrong and
violence and tyranny, wherever it is
exercised, and when it is inflicted
upon a citizen of the United States l
will stand by him if l am alone"
A foreign policy consistently and Wig
orously conducted onN this basis will
command the respect of every citizen
whose respect is worth having Any
other policy will be equally sure to
wind up in disgrace, as the Cleveland
Olney policy OF trucking to Spain has
done, to the infinite harm of American
prestige abroad.

HLITERACY A CRUDE TEST.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
We know by our own experience that
the illiterate are by no means the most
pestiferous and Objectionable element in
our population. The turbulent and in
cendiary factors in the social scheme are
largely made up of the half-educated in
our towns and cities-of men educated
just enough to make them discontented,
but not enough to give them wisdom or
information. 1t is in the densely popu-
lated slums that these crazy and resent
full agitators are found. They can read,
but not with understanding. They can
write, but only just enough to concoct
proclamation of anarchy and license,
They are the real enemies of social order
and free political institutions, and they
come here, not from the peaceful and in
dustrious rural populations of Europe, but
from the slums and purlieus of the great
cities. Absolute illiteracy does not neces-
sarily mean vice and crime. A little edu-
cation too often means discomfort, dis
turbance and conspiracy. We know this
because we see it among our own people,
white and colored alike. The people we
want to exclude from this country are
not the merely illiterate, so much as the
drones the idlers, the criminals, the in
Cendiaries, who have just enough learn
ing TO intlame their feeble minds against
law and order. property and thrift, society
and civilization.

nugwump Foolishness.

That usually fair and judciously
edited newspaper, the Philadelphia
Public Ledger utters one proposition
to which we must offer decided objec-
tion. 1t says
The inconsiderate, bitter and denuncia-
tory deliverances of the lingo senators
in the debate upon the Sanguilly case
were an affront to the dignity of the
country which the hotspur senators pro-
fess to be so anxious to maintain. Scenes
of that character intensity the growing
popular feeling that the senate has sur
Vived Its usefulness as n governing body,
and strengthen the movement for the
election of United States senators direct
ly by the people.
With all due respect fer our admirable
contemporary, what it here says is not
only not true in fact, but ought never
70 become true. 1t viii be a sorry
day for the American people when

one of the state legislators, with whom
he was walking down the street The
local lawmaker felt II incumbent upon
himself to entertain the veteran senator
OF two decades, and chrped merrily as
the two passed along until the conversa-
ton reached this point, when he asked:
"Is Senator Brice very smart man?'
The senator, bent with his many years.
plodded along. seemingly unm!ndful OF
the remark. His cane stubbed monoto-
nousy on the sidewalk for a block or
two. But he reused himself, and with
stern eye answered:

Brice was country school teacher in a
small Ohio town. Today he is multi
