HOW MUCH MONEY

Nobody knows what the real per cap
ita circulation of money in the United
States is. Despite the showing of trea-
sury figures and the additions being
constantly made, the chances are that
the real circulation is far below the es-
innate. Money is lost for good every
day in the year. Gold and silver coins
are converted into uses which precll de
government has made millions upon mil
lions of dollars since the war through
the loss and accidental destruction of
treasury notes. Money is continually
disappearing, and the amount annually
lost TO the volume of circulation cannot
be estimated, but ii is large. The de-
struction of national bank notes re-
douns TO the advantage of the govern
ment and not 10 the banks. Notes dis
appear in all sorts of ways. Some are
burned. some torn to shreds beyond all
semblance Of original appearance. and
others are eaten. Mice and goats have
gotten away with their share. Much OF
the per capita circulation decrease is
through the disappearance OF coin.
Gold and silver fall into the river or
ocean and permanently sever their con-
nection with mankind. Disappearance
Of coin is an actual loss, as gold medi-
um of exchange is intrinsic value. and
hence the loss of gold decreases the
wealth Of its temporary possessor, but
does not enrich the government. as is
the case when paper money is de-
StrOYed.

| A. Hanna to the United States Senate.
The Republicans elected their legisla-
ture by safe majority over combined
opposition. Now the representatives of
the party refuse to execute the will of
the people as expressed at the ballot
can party defeated the Democrats, and
relegated German, but the representa-
tives of the party in the legislature
seem utterly unable to save the fruits
of the victory won by the people at the
ballot box. There are a half-dozen
renegades. calling themselves Republi-
cans, and who were elected as Republi-
cans in the Ohio Legislature, who are
threatening the life of the national Re-
publican party. Practically the same
offensive thing exists in the Maryland
legislature, although the action of the
state cannot so vitality affect the ma
tional party. Eleven members of the
Maryland legislature, who call them
selves Republicans, and who We're
elected as such, refuse to attend a Re-
publican caucus or to abide the choice
of the majority of the representatives
of the party in choice Of candidate for
the United States Senate. In Ohio the
trouble seems to be partly personal and
partly political pie. In Maryland the
question of political patronage con-
stitutes the entire trouble. The coun-
try at large cares nothing for the per-
sonal misunderstanding nor for the
individual ambitions, of the Ohio politi-
clans, who are playing the part of pi-
rates, nor for the office-hunger OF the
Maryland highwaymen who are holding
up the majority of the legislature at
But the majority of the |
people of this country, constituting the |
national Republican party, are being |
outraged by the acts of these score OF |
traitors. Foraker and Bushnell will |
have to answer for Ohio, principally |
Senator Foraker, for Bushnell and his |
are but tools. The Republi- |
cans responsible fer the hold-up in |
which threatens to defeat |
Judge McComas, are too insignificant to
be called to an account by public opin
ion, but there ought to be some way
discovered for diSpoSing of them.

A HIGH SCHOOL TEST

The change which takes place in the
pronunciation of words in a lifetime are
numerous and radical for the average
individual, and especially marked by
those who change their localities. OF
course the recognized standards
change little, yet for the majority the
changes are So radical as to seem un-
warranted. The Chicago News claims
that no one has yet been found who,
without consulting a dictionary, can
pronounce all these words correctly at
first reading. Frequently ten to fifteen
mistakes are made: "A sacrilegious son
of Belial who suffered from bronchitis.
having exhausted his finances, in order
to make good the deficit, resolved to
ally himself To a comely. lenient and
docile young lady of the Malay or Cau-
casian race. He accordingly purchased
a collioDe and a coral necklace of a
chameleon hue, and securing a suit Of
rooms at a principal hotel. he engaged
the head waiter as a cpadjutor. He
then dispatched letter Of the most ex-
Cepuonal caligraphy eXtant, inviting
the lady TO a matinee. She revolted at
the idea. refusing TO consider herself
sacrificable to his desires, and sent a
polite note Of refusal; on receiving
which he procured a carbine and a
bowie knife, said that he would not

OHIO AND MARYLAND

What is the matter with the Repuhli-
can party? Can it be that Cleveland's S
snivel service has rended the orEaniza-
tion, or that free silver has hppelessly
divided its leaders? The trouble un-
questionahly is of and among its lead
ers. The Republicans OF Ohio. in a
square fight. carried the state. The is
sue was made up ia the state conven-
tion. and adhered 10 in every county,
and that issue was the election of NJ.
