The silver dollar coined in the Phlla-
delphia Mint in 1895 is bringing from
So to So in the hands of dealers and col
l%ectors. 1t seems that in Il there
we're less than 1000 of these 81 pieces
struck at the Philadelphia Mint.-Er'
These few have been coined from silver
purchased under the Sherman act pre-
vious to the repeal in 1898, and did not
add a dollar to the circulation because
there is an outstanding certificate
against it before 1t was coined. Inc
coinage will be less each succeeding
year and the present silver dollars may
become rare in a few years as the next
step after the passage of the present
gold standard law now being discussed
before Congress is to sell those now in
the U. S. Treasury for old junk, be-
cause they will be useless when made
redeemable in gold as the bill provides,
and the paper certificates will answer
as we'll. Germany did it twenty seven
years ago.

State Prison Keeper Moore's Report

State Prison Keeper Moore's Report,
The annual report of SamuelS S. Moore,
keeper of the New Jersey State Prison,
has been made to Governor VOORHEES,,
During the year AIS prisoners were re-
ceived, 445 being males from the State
courts and 9 being males from the Fed
eral courts. The discharges during the
year were 56S. OF the two escapes,
Daniel Holden is still at large. Mr..
Moore says experience shows that the
parole system works for the reforma-
tion of prisoners, now having been tried
for nearly 8 years. Only A paroles were
revoked out of 800, but 10 were return
ed to prison after conviction of other
crimes. Mr.. Moore urges consideration
of the question of the discharged pris.
oner, who will not 60 to his friends and
is apparently helpless to make an hon.
est living. The time when he should
receive help is Immediately upon his
discharge Or all his good resolutions
may fail and his case become hopeless.
The keeper endorses highly the work
of Mrs. Ballington Booths stations for
discharged convicts.
Mr.. Moore suggests that the Bertil-
Ion system of Identification be adopted
at the prison, the present system of per-
sOnal description being vague aud un.
certain. Up 10 this time the State has
not photographed its prisoners or used
any of the modern means which prevail
in most police stations. Authorities of
other States desire to exchange photo
graphs of the prisoners. He asks for
$500 with which to commence the Ber-
tillon system.
Severe measures have been taken to
break up the securing of luxuries by
some of the favored prisoners, and the
punishment of offenders and careless
officers in this respect has had a salu.
tary effect.
The report concludes, "With slight
exceptions the %convicts are cheerful"

Gold Standard Panic.

On Monday the national House OF
Representatives passed the gold stand
ard bill by a vote of 100 to $50 against.
Every Republican voted for it, and also
II Democrats to their disgrace. The
negative vote was $50 Democrats and
Populists. 1t was known that it would
be passed on Monday for a week, and
1t is surprising to see the following
head lines in Tuesdays papers.
The Philadelphia Inquirer had these.
"Two failures and frantic fright cause
wild panic in Wall st. Pandemonium
in stock exchange while thousands OF
dollars are swallowed up by the terrific
slump in all securities"
The Ledger contained these: IAN
exciting day in Wall Street. Prices OF
securities broke with great violence.
Bids for loans at a high Inquire. Banks
come to the rescue and avert a panic.
Failure of a trust company"
The North american had these start
ling head lines: Wild Wall street paff'o:
Black Monday of 1899. One trust COM
pany of New York suspends. One
banking and brokerage firm of New
York fails. Stocks depreciate in price
nearly 500, 600, 900. Thousands OF
Spectators buying on margin lose their
investments. Call loans made at 125
per cent. interest. Russell Sage says
the panic is the greatest in 20 years. U.
S. Treasury helps relieve stock panic
Secretary Gage orders 100000 a day
deposited with the national banks"
When there was a panic in 1893 and
the U. s. Treasury needed money did
the banks come TO the rescue of the
treasury without demanding interest
bearing bonds2 When their is a failure
among merchants and a fall in the val
ue of farms does the U. S. Treasurer
come to their rescue?
