In FormOsa.
The japanese government has issued

rendered to it by China This is in &C.
oordance with the policy announced at
the outset.
Instead of interdicting the use of the
drug altogether, except for medicinal
purposes, the authorities sanction its
employment by persons judged to be in
curably addicted TO the habit. Such per.
sons are to receive licenses after medical
examination. All business connected
with the manufacture and sale of the
drug or Of apparatus for smoking it is
TO be limited to license 6s,.ders.

More Money In Circulation.

If there was any actual relation be-
tween the quantity Of money in circula-
tion and national prosperity, we would
now be on food tide. For more than
twelvemonth now the amount of mon
ey ia circulation in the United States
has been steadily Oh the increase. July
], 1896, about the time the Chicago
platform was III 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 ST.
SOC, 725, 200, making S21.1 per capita
ON an estimated population of II, $780,
900.
Nov. l, 1896, on the eve OF the cleo
ton, when the people of the United
States were to give their verdict against
debased and deprecated currency, the
money i'll circulation was $l,627, 055,-
GA, making $22. 63 per capita on an es-
timated population Of IL 100000.
March |, 1897, on the eve of McKin-
ley's Inauguration, the total money in
circulation III the United States had
risen TO the unprecedented sum of ST.
675, 1894, 1858, making $23. ii per capita
on an estimated population of 72,4lS,-
600.
To fully appreciate this increase of
the money i'll circulation in the United
States it is only necessary to say that
In the last ten months it amounted to
$3.50, 800, 1853, or more than SO per cap
ita of the entire population.
While the absolute circulation has
passed all previous high water marks
the per capita circulation is still Sl.30
below that of 1892, just before the pam
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 eighties?
Simply because good times depend on
public confidence and industrial activ-
lty 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. -

Good Money Is Good Anywhere.

While government can within its
territory define that which shall con-
stitute legal tender i'll satisfaction of
contracts past and future it cannot by
legislation fix the purchasing value Of
its money, for money is commodity,
and its value is determined in the mar
kets of the world under the laws of
trade, and the laws of trade, like the
laws OF nature, are stronger and more
farreaching than any constitutions or
statutes. The best money is the money
of greatest purchasing power, and that
money has the maximum of purchasing
power which is exchangeable at par,
not only in the country from whose
mint it is issued, but also in the markets
Of the world.

Swallowed Her Teeth.

Miss Josie Glynn, the I7.year-old
daughter OF Squire Glynn of Alton,
Ind, recently received very serious in,
Juries. The young lady rushed across
the dooryard to drive some chickens
out Of her flower beds and was caught
IN the mouth by a clothes line and
thrown backward, her head striking a
stone so forcibly as to leave her uncon.
scious for nearly q hours. When the
young lady was picked up, it was found
that she had lost eight teeth, which
were torn out by the clothes line, some
OF which it is feared she swallowed. -

Boy Fishes Too Long In One Place and

Has a Struggle Tor Life.
John Murray, who is IA years old,
hired a rowbOat on recent Sunday
morning at Thompson boathouse at
the foot Of Hudson Square park, Hobo
ken, y. j., and went fishing.
After trying his luck at several spots
on the river he rowed up close TO the
Fourteenth street ferry house and drop
ped line there. While he was fishing
his boat drifted under the ferry bridge.
Ihe tide was rising rapidly, and when
he concluded to quit he found that the
space between the end of the bridge and
the water had decreased so that his boat
could not pass out.
BE then pushed the boat along under
the ferry house and began shouting for
help. His cries were not heard, and he
then bcthought himself Of pounding ON
the floor above him with one of his
oars
Captain HefTner, assistant superin-
tendent Of the ferry, heard the pound
ing, but at first he was at loss to know
whence it came. Finally he heard Muir
ray shout. lie then ordered several
planks in the floor Of the ferry house
torn up, and Murray was pulled
through on the pier. York Sun.

BAD DRIVES OUT GOOD.
Senator Jroes Admits That There Can BE
hut One standard OF Value.

Senator Js'oes ADMITS Ihat Ihere thn ps
hut 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.
IL one goes into the market, the law
being that yard shall be either two
feet or three feet in length, and buys
carpets oy the yard ut fixed price,
there will be delivered to him carpets
measured In yards of two feet in length.
If he buy coal by the ton, the law being
that ton shall be either 2, 900 or 2, $40
pounds, he will receive tons of 1900
pounds each. If he buy 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 dollar is either a gold coin, with
a bullion value equal to its face value.
or silver coin, with bullion value of
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 lesser
value.
There never has been and there never
can be i'll any country at any time BIZ
metallic standard, and the attempt to
create double standard has never pro-
duced anything better than an alter
mating standard, with the inevitable
of injustice with reference
20 past con tracts and uncertainty with
reference to future contracts.
Indeed, Senator Jones admits in the
report of the silver commission Of 1875
that whenever under the double stand
ard there is variance between the lie.
gal and market relations of the metals
the standard would be practically based
On one metal and it the cheaper and
more available one. " The financial his
tory Of the United States and of France
furnish conclusive evidence of the accu-
,acy of the senator's view on this point.

BIG SULPHUR DEPOSIT.
A Mine Ina Washington which Promises
to BE bonanza.


Mining and agricultural interests OF
the northwest are much interested in
tie opening of sulphur mine IS miles
southeast of Tacoma and ~ miles from
Buckley. on the main line Of the North
ern Pacific railway. The discovery is
considered TO be most important consid-
ering the fact that very little sulphur is
produced in this country, while the de-
mand is large and growing rapidly.
The supply now comes chiefly from
Sicily, from which island l25, 02S tons
valued az -, 500, 600, was imported dur
ing 1896.
Two years ago Frank Lowe of orting
was out prospecting IN the mountains
Of Pierce county when he came across
some huge powders Of soft, greenish
yellow rock. He broke of pieces for
analysis, finding that the rock ran 40
per cent in sulphur. A little investiga-
tion revealed that if mine could be de-
veloped IL would be better than an or
binary gold mine, since the Sicilian sui
phur runs only 20 10 SO per cent and
then by melting process is brought up
10 95 10 80 per cent pure sulphur. The
claims taken mp 10y Lowe have since
passed into the hands OF the White Riv-
er Sulphur Mining company a control
