Republicans of all sorts speak of free
coinage as If it did not exist While
others speak Of it as an Eek perlme nt
which Democrats are trying to force

The N. Y. Tribune iii, a leading edito-
rial says:
Because of the still greater increase
in purchasing power of the people,
there vanishes the last trace of ex-
cuse for believing that free coinage is
necessary to public prosperity"
OF course, the Tribune means the in
crease in the purchasing power OF
money; but it and MIR. Schurz. speak as
though there were no free coinage and
should be none. Yet from 1902 to 1873

The VirginianPilot sees many com
plants from all over the United States
about difficulties in the way of paying
public school teachers. OF course.
these difficulties are usually invented
or created by the men who consider
the teachers fair game, although their
salaries are small. Virginia. we sup
pose, is paying them this year, as her
treasury is SO flush. But this State
usually allows the teachers to be
gouged.

President Schurman, In an election

But although the Federal govern

More Fatal Than Yellow Fever

From the New York World. The highest death record ever made by any epidemic disease in this country was that of 1878. when yellow fever in its most virulent form ravaged the entire southwest, from Louisiana to Ohio, destroying nearly 5000 lives.
 Consumption destroyes more than 102,O0O American lives in each recurring year. Thus consumption kills about seven times as many people every year as yellow fever ever killed in any year.
 This startling fact lends peculiar inter- est to every scientific effort either to pre- vent the spread of this dread disease, which is now definitely recognized as infectious, or to find means for its cure. Especially inter- esting, because especially hopeful are the experiments now making by the Franklin institute of Philadelphia with new treat ment discovered by physician of this city and fully described in The Worlds Sunday Magazine today.
 Briefly, the agents used in this process are light electricity and ozone, applied di- rectly and powerfully to the patient for the purpose of destroying the disease germs and repairing waste.
 For fear of quackery the matter has been carefully kept from public knowledge until 1t could be scientifically investigated. Re- suits thus far attained by investigation seem clearly to justify the hope at least that science is presently to be armed anew against the most dangerous of all public enemies.

 Phleas Fogg, the hero of Jules Vernes Around the World in Eighty Days," made his bet in 1873 that he would accomplish that feat, or it was in that year that the book was published in this country, and he laid down his possible itinerary in this wise

Fogg, it will be remembered reached London after his trip around the world on the ffty-seventh second of the last hour of the eightieth day, and won his wager of 900; but, as was afterwards explained, he really made the trip in seventy-ninc days, for, without knowing it, he had gained day in his journey by travelling eastward, while he would have lost a day if he had gone in the opposite direction.
 The largest reduction from the Verne schedule of 1873 has been made, or is to be made in another part of the circuit of the globe. Here is the official announcement by the Russian minister of railroads of the time which will be required for a journey around the earth when the Trans-Siberian railroad Is completed:
 Days. From St. Petersburg to Vladivostock 10 From Vladvostock to San Francisco 10 From San Francisco to New York;. AZ From New York to Bremen ............ From Bremen to St. Petersburg ...... 1h Total .....,... .......... ......,. ...... S3 By this route of travel, too, the dangers of loss of time because of causes from which Phileas Fogg suffered would be com paratively few and slight. His trip was not , in a straight line, but entailed detourl through the Suez canal and steamer trip from India to China, and consequently the risk of irreguarity In the running of the Oriental steamers and the missing of close connections. The new route is far less com plicated and much more certain. About four-ffths of Phileas Fogg's journey was by soa. By this Russian route the time at sea is reduced to ten days on the Pacific and seven days on the Atlantic, the rest being accurately calculated by railroad time. The greatest single stretch will be by | the Trans-Siberian railroad.

had acted the part OF demagogue on

things he said:
"Mr. Bryan has at least some negative
points of advantage. II is safe to say that
his hippodrome did not tour the country
at the expense OF the government or az
the bounty OF the corporations. He did
not spend his time In electioneering while
drawing salary from the public funds
OF $4,000 year. He did not take with
him suite composed OF high officials
whose duties are supposed TO keep them
elsewhere. and when he made statement
Of fact he did not conceal the most ma
terial part OF it upon the presumption that
his hearers either were too ignorant to
know of Il or were too lazy to verify 1t. !"
Judge Grant charges that the president
doled out only half truths to the people
and suppressed the most essential facts
about treaties hitherto made for annexa-
tion of territory TO Amer1ca. that of adj
hitting the residents OF annexed territory
to full American citizenship. In order to
