Financial Lying.

No art is left untried to deceive the
people on.the amount of money in the
country, and the most palpable lies are
given out by the Treasury Department to
newspaper correspondents. A statement
and table purporting to be furnished by
the department of finance were published
recently by the Philadelphia Press from
which the following paragraphs are
clipped:
''The increase since July 7, 1896. has
been at the rate of nearly half million
dollars for each business day, and during
the past year has averaged considerably
more than half million dollars for each
business day.
"The per capita circulation on April T.,
1890, was the largest ever shown at that
period of the year in the history of our
country. AT that date it was, according
to the official statement of the Treasury
Department, SIS IS per capita, while that
of April I, 1898, was $23 69; April I, 1897,
S25.oI and April /, 1896, $2I.53."
Those who do the "per capita" lying
venture such statemants on the suppose
ton that the people have very careless
memories. The fact is that in 1865 there
was $50 per capita in circulation, and
deducting the $4,000, 900 population in
the southern states, among whom the
money had not circulated, and the actual
per capita circulation was about $50. So
much for that treasury statement.
The assertion in the first paragraph
that more than half million a day has
been added to the circulation, is an utter
impossibility, if taken in the sense it was
intended to convey.
The Director of the Mint in one of his
recent interviews complains of the made
quacy of silver coin and notes of 81 and
f. denominations to supply the retail
trade, and that the government is power
less to relieve this want because there is
no law authorizing the coinage of subsid
larry silver, nor silver dollars to put into
circulation. The laws have been repealed
permitting the issue of greenbacks, or
silver certificates. In short the govern
ment has not issued any new money since
the summer of 1898 Gold is the only
new money that the government has any
power to issue and there isn't enough of
that to fill this big circulation per capita
bill.
If there is any truth in the large in
crease in circulation it is all contained in
the heavy expenditures which the war
has entailed on the country, and is solely
afforded by the tax collected from the
people and disbursed again among them
by government officials. So much for
this increase in circulation story, with
the national banks drawing in their cir
cuiation, and the government stripped of
all law to coin and issue anything but
gold.

Lonely Tribes.

Perhaps the most isolated tribe of
people in the world is the Tshuktshi,
people occupying the northern por-
ton of the peninsula of Kanlskatl1a
and the country northward toward
Bering Straits. These people are prac-
tically independent Of Russia, who ap-
pears to have reasons of her own for let
ting them alone. They have practically
no communication with the outside
world, and have only been visited two
or three times-the last time by Maj.
de Windt on his journey through ST.
IBERIA. The inhabitants of the New ST.
berian islands are also practically alone
on earth, for they can only commune
cate with the mainland, and therefore
with the rest of the world, once year,
and succession of bad seasons might
isolate them for years. The pygmies
of the great Central African forests,
If they can be called tribe, have also
been people apart. For ages their ex-
istence was little more than legendary,
and only two expeditions commanded
by white men have ever penetrated into
their ahode.-N. Y. Sun,

"MADAM" RUSH'S FETES.
At Which PeacOcl<s Were Roasted In
Their Pluma&e Served on
Solid Gold Plate.

What the Vanderbilt and the Bradley
Martin balls have been in recent times
to the whole country as browning events
of social splendor, so were the Rush
balls in the early fifties. In the dining
room of her Philadelphia mansion $50
guests would sit down at time on cush-
toned seats of blue damask, the tables
shining with rare china and solid gold
plate, while rows of servants, wearing
blue ribbons, kept guard at the doors.
The skill of the cleverest caterers in the
country was taxed to provide novelties
for the table. Nothing pleased the
hostess on one of these occasions more
that the surprise of her guests at be-
holding peacocks that had been care
fully roasted with all their magnificent
plumage. The colored lamps in the gar
den and the gentle glow of 5000 wax
candles in the ballroom shed light upon
the scene. But so young men with the
qualifications of good beaux, and dane
ing well; 80 pretty girls without money,
but respectable, we'll dressed, lively and
charming according to the hos
tess, "were always indispensable" and
next to them the best music that could
be had, and the finest supper in the
world.-William Perrine, in Ladies'

Hoar Against Mckinley.

The following are the last two counts Of
an indictment of Senator Hoar against
McKinley's expansion policy:
ninth, that the language and argu-
ment of those who object to this war are,
without change, the language aud argu-
ment of Chatham, of Fox, of Burke, OF
Barre, of Camden and of the English and
American Wings. and the language and
argument of those who support it are the
language ond argument of George III, OF
Lord North, of Mansfield, of Wedder-
burn, of Johnson ard of the English and
American Tories.
"Tenth, no orotor, no newspaper, nor
preacher, being supporter of this policy
of subjugation, dares repeat In speech or
in print any of the utterances for freedom
of Washington, of Jefferson, of John
Adams, of Abraham Lincoln, or OF
Charles Sumner"

One by One the Roses Fall.

Speaker Reed has turned his back on
McKinley's administration, left political
life and gone into law firm in Wall
street. The firm is one of the corporation
law firms whose fees count by the hall
million, frequently receiving 500, 900 fee
for one case. The most conspicuous
talent of the country is gathered into the
employ of the trusts and great corpora
tons to help strengthen the bulwarks
they are steadily building between them
and the people.
Reed is an able, fearless and independ-
ent character, and to be thrust aside for
such a shadow of craftsmanship and
manhood as Mckinley, no doubt dis
gusted him and induced him in large
measure to leave politics and go into the
Wall street law firm, where he is to re-
ceive $4,000 salary and perhaps much
more in the way of perquisites.
