OUR CIRCULATING MEDIUM.
Humboldt Standard: 1t is favorite
pastime of the free silver advocates to
talk very learnedly about the small
amount of money in circulation. Some
tells us that it is not more than 50 pei
capita. That is about the circulation
per capita in gold. In 1878 when that
crime" was committed of which free
silver men talk so constantly and sc
inconsistently, we had practically nc
gold in circulation outside of Califor-
MIA; probably less than ST per capita
in the country. Now We have about
50 per capita circulation in gold, and
more than twice the circulation OF
money, taking gold, silver and paper
that We had in the year 1873. instead
of decreasing, the money circulation Of
the country has steadily increased, and
is now $4 more per capita than it was
in 1873. The most reliable statistics
to be had show that the money in cir
culation in the United States on Janu-
airy l, 1898, was 1914, 665, GA in excess
of the amount in circulation when the
Chicago convention adopted the free
coinage platform in 1896. The official
figures of the Treasury Department
showing the money in circulation in the
United States give the total for July l.
1896, 81 SOC 434 $3.50, and that for JAN
uary /. 1898, $1,721. 100640. Nearly
S100 100000 Of this increase was in
gold, about $10000,000 in standard sill
Yer dollars and nearly $50, 10000 in
silver certificates.
This is a very good showing and fatty
disproves the main contention of the
Bryanites, who claimed that no in
crease in the circulation could come
save by free coinage, and that no in
crease in the price of farm products
would be seen until we had gone to the
silver basis by the free coinage route.
Money is not so scarce as it was when
Bryan was nominated for President
and the circulating medium is increas-
ing faster than the population.

THE LOUD BILL.
THE FRENCH FARCE.


Los Angeles Times: They do things
queerly in la belle France, judging by
the cabled report of the lola trial. Here
is a sample: More than 200 barristerS
in their robes gathered at the public
entrance and INDUCED in horse play.
When the presiding Judge ordered
them not to obstruct the passage, the
barristers made demonstration
against the Judge" Fancy lot of
American lawyers making a demon
stration against the Judge" without
getting a chance to spend term in
jail The dispatch referred to, after
reciting the fact that the military

ARRAY" says: The barristers rushed
upon the guards and struck them. One
of the young lawyers was arrested,
but after quiet had been restored he
was released. General Gonz refused 10
testify. \ scene followed and the court
was cleared" All this sounds TO us,
who are familiar with the decorum and
dignity of our courts, like scene from
one Of McNally's most idiotic farce
comedies; indeed, it resembles, in many
particulars. the last act of "Courted
Into Court" Our courts may fail la
mentally in some things, but they cer-
tainly do not permit the rabble to run
them, nor do they placidly sit by and
hear witnesses refuse to testify with
out exerting their authority. If the
Zola trial is not a screaming farce, our
Gallo friends ought to take in their
sign.

In report to the State Department on
the appearance of the plague in Turkes-
tan, Consul General Holloway, at st.
Petersburg, gives an interesting account
of how a high mountain range has prac-
tically formed an almost impenetrable ma
tural quarantine. The report follows:
''The governor general of Turkestan, in
a telegram dated October 1922, 1898, re-
ports that an epidemic disease with a
very high death rate has appeared in the
village of Anzov district of Samarkand.
almost inaccessible and separated from
the neighboring villages by mountains 49,
600 to 14,OO0 feet high. The Samarkand
district lies on the River Zeravshan in
the Turkestan region, 2i65 miles south.
east from Moscow and east of the Cas-
plan Sea.
"At meeting held at Samarkand by
the committee of public health, the ply
sicians reported the symptoms of the dis
ease, without any meteorological analysis
as being very similar to the plague. The
first case occurred in the village of Mar
Yin, near Anzov, and the number OF
deaths increased rapidly. The local au-
thorities have taken measures to stoI
the epidemic. There are no traces OF
the disease in the neighborhood
physicians who have studied the plague
in India have been sent to the infected
region"

Sol Smith Russell and his successful

Standing Room Only sign to be dis
played frequently next week at the New
National Theater- Mr.. Russell has done
a good deal during the past few years to
advance himself as an actor, but it is
said that nothing in which he has hereto
fore appeared has given him the oppor-
tunities that exist in Charles Klein's COM
edy, The Hon. John Grigsby." The star
enters into 1t with considerable personal
interest, as his early years were spent in
the same locality in which the play is
laid-Sangamon County, Ill. The piece
is also supposed to offer many chances
for the stars support. Its theme is
clean and coherently worked out. The
dialogue is said to be witty. and the sit
uations while never theatrical in the
abused sense of the word, are described
as being strong and effective. All the
parts are good ones, and Mr.. Russell has
spared no expense in organizing a very
superior company of artists.
