No government can maintain 1t one
time more tlaan 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. II there
be two or more standards Of different
value, the standard Of lower value will
IN practice become the only standard.
II 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.

measured in yards of two feet In length.

There never has been and there never

create double standard has never pro-
duced anything better than ~ alter

consequences of injustice with reference
to past contracts and uncertainty with
reference to future contracts.
Indeed, Senator Jones admits IN the
report Of the silver commission Of 1875
that whenever under tho double stand

the standard would be practically based
on one metal, and it the cheaper and

Nor. Money In Circulation.

II there was any actual relation be-
tween the quantity of money in circula-
ton and national prosperity. we would
now be on a flood tide. For more than
twelvemonth now the amount of mon
ey in circulation in the United States
has been steadily on the increase. July
/, 1896, about the time the Chicago
platform was in the process >of incuba-
ton and the mouth of the popocrat was
full of demands for more of the circu-
lating medium, the total money in cir
culation in the United States was $1,-
500, 725, 900, making !$21.l5 per capita
on an estimated population of a, $780,
900.
Nov. i, 1896, ON the eve of the cleo
ton, when the people Of the United
States were to give theirverdict against
a debased and deprecated currency, the
money in circulation was $1,6s7, O55,-
ga, making S22.63 per capita on nm es-
.timated population Of a, 902, 600.
March 1, 1897, on the eve OF McKin-
sley,s inauguration, the total money in
circulation in the United States had
risen to the unprecedented sum Of Sl,-
e75, 8s4 ,9bs, making s2s.14 per capita
on an estimated population OF 7s,41s,-
900.
To fully appreciate this increase Of
the money in circulation in the United
States it is only necessary to say that
in the last ten months it amounted to
s165, $50, 753, or more than 90 per cap
sita of the entire population.
While the absolute circulation has
passed all previous high water marks
the per capita circulation is still $3.50
below that of 1899, just before the pun.
ic. 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 the times not as good as
they were along in the late eightiess
Simply because good times depend on
public confidence and industrial activ-
ity, and not on the amount of money In
circulation. This is simply the teaching
Of the old proverb that nimble six
pence is better than slow shilling

Champion Sandwich Gutter.

A novel bet was made recently by
a Cuban who was q constant visitorto
one of the cafes on the Paris boule-
yards-the wager being 1000 francs
that the head carver would not cut
and make 1000 complete sandwiches
in "a hours. The carver won the bet
easily, accomplishing the feat in 10
hours and 40 minutes, demolishing
22 hams in the operation. This huge
mass of sandwiches was divided
among the principal hospitals of Par
is and the environs.

The Following Clipping
From the Daily News
Needs No Comment.
The ALtO2l authorities.

The race war in Alton has broken out
afresh and the city authorities are about
to adopt heroic measures to put 1t down.
This race war, be 1t known, is caused by
colored children attending public schools
with white children, very grave ofiense
-one might say criminal offense.
According to the report sent to the
daily papers the city authorities have be-
come provoked with the colored people
and their persistence in sending their
children day after day where they know
they will not be permitted to enter, and
nnless they desist within the next two
days the parents of the children who per-
sist in coming will be arrested upon
charges Of encouraging the children in
their obstinacy and ''inciting disturbances
Of the peace"
The city charter OF Alton provides that
no man shall be city authority who is
not thirtyfive feet high and whose head
cannot be used as the dome of the town
hall if necessary. His brain must weigh
eighty-five pounds and contain 1000
thought cells to the ounce. He must
know everything and be able to say it
backward. His bump of indignation
must be abnormally deleveloped and cap
able of being provoked on the slightest
provocation. He should he able to sus-
pend the constitution, arrest the course
of human events and turn the hand of
time back thirty-seven years at a Jump.
The powers delegated by the charter to
an Alton authority are broad and COM
prc1ensive. He can suspend the habeas-
corpus act, rascind the civil-rights act,
deny the right Of trial by jury and COM
mand the sun to stand still if it attracts
more attentson than he does. He can
also stretch himself until he is 2O5 feet high
and increase his volume until he has
more weight than public opinion
If the parents of coored children know
their business they will not provoke the
city authorities of Alton. Than to do
this it would be far better either to kill
off their children or rear them in ignorance

What Does 1T Matter?

What does it matter,
If the world is wrong,
And the dark clouds gather,
And the winds are strong?
What does it matter
If the heart is faint,
From it's strifes and its battles,
And the worlds foul taint?
What does it matter
Ifyou've lived in a dream,
And wake to discover
The illusions you've seen.
What does it matter
fyOur loved ones die,
And your fond hopes v:lnish
AS you twinkle your eye!
What does it matter
If the sun never shines,
And your frame slowly weakens,
And surely declines.
What does it matter
So the soul keeps clean;
And the mind and the conscience
Are calm and serene?

I Some time ago two young men from
this city went on q visit to Pittsburg.
From there they went to Hopewood. the
residence Of a friend. While there one Of
them took cramps SO he went into the
town and secured halfa pint of whiskey
and bottle of Jamaica ginger.
While going home on wagon the
whiskey bottle broke. The younger OF
the two loaned his handkerchief to the
fellow who had the whiskey 70 dry his
hands. When they reached the friends
home the young fellow was accused of
drinking by the good temperance people
with whom they were staying. The
broken bottle was thrown out the bed
room window.
The other day the mail brought the
young man package of beautiful candy
In one mass, representing holly and ivy.
On the neck of the bottle were the follow
ing lines:
This is the bottle from which you took
horn, and heayed it out the window

The Democrats pretend to favor equal
and exact Justice 70 the members Of all
parties without regard to name or condi.
ton, yet at the present time they are en-.
gagged In conspiracy, backed up by the
legal fraternity, to defraud the men elected
in kent county to the various local offices
and appropriate to themselves the use of
the same. Byall kinds of special plead
ing, the usurpation has been justified and
every expedlent urged to prevent justice
being done at the earliest practicable per-
iod. The well intentioned course marked
out by the Superior Court has been OBJ
structed by the decision of the Court of
Errors and Appeals,in order that the mar
plots may profit by the appropriation of
offices that fair-minded men would refuse
to occupy. 1t is but another evidence of
the old saying that everything is fair in
politics, Such scoundrellsm, however,
has rarely q parallel and it may be that
the result will be that the fraud will in
validate more than one act Of the Legisla-
ture. We hope the Democrats will lind
this SO and eventually will regret their
chicanery.
It's true Judge Grubb suggests course
by which the contestants may obtain jus
tice, but with the proyerbial hardness of
action of the Courts, the session of the
Legislature may be well advanced before
a ADHESION? can be rendered. We say this
in view Of the objections of attorneys and
the obstructive tactics that may be resort
ed to. Certain gentlemen may find in the
end that their slnartness will be rewarded
by defeat and that honesty after all is the
best policy, and the practice of justice is
of the highest expediency
