Will Not Make Changes at Present.
A sensational story published in a
morning paper to the effect that the Board
OF Supervisors is considering a high license
on saloons as a remedy for the stringency
in municipal funds is denied by The
N EN- bers OF the board.
One member. not now in the State, is
believed to favor high license, bnt as he
belongs to the minority that opposed the
board during the recent legal troubles, it
is not believed that MS opinion will cut
any figure. A majority of the mem bers OF
the board are avowedly against high
license at the present time.

The reason for exorbitant interest
rates in the last mentioned section is
obvious. And it will continue to exist
unless some means of economizing cap
ital, as is done in Scotland, is provided
and the storekeeper is compelled by
competition to reduce rates. The comp
troler of the currency, in his annual
report for 1896. presents table show
ing the banking power of the several
states and territories, from which the
following abstract is compiled, to illus
trate this point more forcibly:

"Free Coinage" Demand Misleading.
If any advocate of the free coinage of
silver dollars or copper dollars or iron
dollars at any ratio, sixteen to one. more
or less, will agree to stop there and ask
nothing more, l for one am prepared tc
meet him, and in that way to stop the
present contest. Whowould want them "
Not one of these men will consent to
free coinage on those terms. Not one of
them would be satisfied. Not one Of
them would then get what he is after
under the preteXt that free coinage and
"equal rights of gold and silver" are all
that he wants. 1 challenge anyone to
find an advocate of free coinage at six
teen to one on these simple terms-that
both gold, and silver should be treated
alike; that both gold and silver coins
shall be made for anyone who takes the
bullion to the mint to any number that
he wants. l challenge any advocate of
free coinage to deny that free coinage,
pure and simple, is not what he de-
mands. and not one of them will dare
to meet this challenge.
This demand for free coinage is a
cover intended to conceal the true pur-
pose of those who ask it. Most of those
who support this measure have been
deceived and misled. Let such men put
the question to any owner of silver
mines, to any senator or representative
in congress or to any and every candi-
date on the free coinage platform in
the following terms:
"If we grant free or unlimited coin
age. without charge for the coming.
will you demand nothing more?" Not
a man who knows what the true pur-
pose is will answer "Yes" to that ques-
tion,-Edward Atkinson.

The great disparity between the
banking facilities is seen at a glance.
The six New England states, with an
estimated population (1so6) of $780,
600, possess nearly $40 per capita; the
13 southern states, with 2o,ooo,ooo pop
ulation, show barely SIS per capita, or
c22 per cent. of the former. Including
savings banks and loan and trust COM
ranies the ratio is materially reduced,
the south showing only seven per cent.
of the amount given for New England.
Analyzing the items given in the last
column, as stated in the comptroller's
table, it is found that the states and ter
ritories representing 10 per cent. of the
population have less than 33 per cent. of
the entire banking power, estimated at

Peru Follows Japan.

Peru is the latest addition to the list
of countries planning to get on to a
solid gold basis, If silver keeps up its
present rate of progress, there will be
nothing left for gold to conquer in
1900. Of course the need for silver leg
islation will then be greater than ever,
and the silverites must work accord
ingly. They will then have the hercu-
lean task of converting the whole world
back TO silver.

THE information is given out from
Columbus that the State Board of
Health has decided upon a most i'm
portant action in regard to the water
supply of the different cities and towns
in Ohio. 1t is proposed to at once be-
gin in connection with this, system
attic investigation of the condition of
the various lakes and streams in the
State, as to the quantity and quality
of the water given. Accurate gaug-
ings of these water supplies will be
made, and monthly examinations,
chemical and meteorological, held,
special attention being paid to those
which also receive sewage.
OF special Importance to smaller
cities is the purpose to prepare re-
port upon the underground water sup
plies of Ohio, together with a geologi-
cal map in connection with the work.
The work will require several years to
complete, and during the present year
special attention will be given to the
Mahoning, Olentangy and Scioto rivers.
Reports will be made from time to
time as the investigation of individual
streams is completed.
The work is specially important in
the effect il will have upon correcting
the evils arising from the polluting of
water supplies from outside sources.
1t is also expected to show the neces.
sity of the State assuming control OF
the matter. The help of the best ex
perts in the country has been obtained

marked a decided improvement in as
ISOLATION work all along the line. He
has been content not alone to remain
within his office in the building at the
corner of Alakea and Hotel streets,
but he has made it special point to
go into the by-ways in search OF places
where the influences of Y. M. G. A.
work is needed. In the prison, on the
vessels-war and merchant-with the
various nationalities of the city-he
has been at work In the Y. M. G. A.
itself he has put everything into sys-
tematic shape and has introduced new
features and attractions that anoro
the foundation for much good in the
future among the young men OF the
city. For all this he certainly has the
thanks of the community and should
have their hearty cooperation. But
he has done another thing which must
recommend him to all. Obtaining per-
mission from the Board of Health to
visit the leper settlement on the Island
of Molokai, he left on the lWalan1 for
that place last night with val1se full
of Y. NJ c. A. literature, of bible
studies and of all other reading matter
bearing upon association work, this
with the idea of forming branch as
ISOLATION among the young lepers at
the settlement and of giving them all
the hints at his command on how the
work should be conducted Today he
will talk to them, will make out
course of bible study, will offer them
encouragement and will promise them
the aid in every conceivable way OF
