Since the Pan Handle railroad peo-
pie began putting in new piling at
their freight station at the foot OF

objection raised on the score that no
work Of this character could be done

w. H. Blxby, the government engI-
neer in charge of the government works
on the Ohio river, In regard to the

were proceeding with the proper au-
thorlty from the secretary of war:

The November treasury statement
shows that the gold coin in the country
and the gold bullion in the treasury
amount to S1.014. 46S.049. Never be-
fore had the country so much as q
billion In gold. and so long as we do
not export the metal our mines are
adding about $64.OOO.OOO a year to the
total. to say nothing Of imports. The
silver dollars In circulation amount to
about $71.OOO.OOO and the fractional
silver to $76.OOO.OOO. The total paper
money currency-greenbacks. treasury
notes. silver certificates and national
bank notes is S1.O42.S55,07S. Not
withstanding this. so great is the ac-
tivity Of business in the nation that
there is scarcity Of actual money
with which to settle merely the daily
balances In trade.

DOESN'T look much as though the
pro ective tariff was hurting our export
trade in manufactures, when the ex-
ports Of manufactures in the second and
third Octobers under the Dingley law
amount to $59, 900, 900 against So, 1000,
900 in the second aud third Octobers
under the wilson law. In other words,
the average export of manufactures yer
diem inthe months under consideration
under the Wilson law is about half a
million dollars day, and under the
Dingley law a million dollars day.

According to the report Of one Of our
consuls in France. there exists In that
country postal savings system where
by the masses of the people are. young
and old. encouraged In habits of
thrift and providence. The French sys-
tenn is especially designed to inculcate
ideas of money saving in the minds of
young people and children. and 1t Is a
common thing In France for even
young children to have bank accounts,
and they will tell you, in somewhat
boastful way. how many francs or hun
dreds of francs they have in bank. In
the common schools the children de-
post with their teachers from ! sou
Il cent? upward. and a representative
of the savings bank comes around once
a month to collect these little boards.
If a child deposits but sou, he re-
ceives in return a very small livret, or
handbook. When his deposits reach the
sum of franc, his importance entities
him to a grand livret." Many chill
dren. or parents for them, deposit In
an endowment fund which is to pro-
vide them with capital of 5000 or TO-
900 francs on reaching their majority.
The amount owned by the savings
banks in France In 1897 was $22.S70,-
500. which was invested In govern
ment bonds. real estate and mortgages.

WHAT becomes of all the pennies?
A superficial answer might be that we
spend them AZ In truth we do; but did
you ever stop to consider the enormous
quantities of the little copper coins
turned out by the Philadelphia mint
every year? The figures are really ap-
palling in their magnitude. There
are at present about /, 200, 900 900 cents
in circulation and yet the mint Is COM
PEELED to turn out 1000, 900 q month to
keep up the supply. 1t seems as
though this most common coin must
in some mysterious fashion vanish In
thin air, for surely nobody boards
them.

~wars and Rumors Of War"

There is something of irony in the
fact that so soon after the great inter-
national love feast at The Hague,
with it's dissertations on universal
peace arbitration. disarmament and all
that sort of thing. there should be
wars and rumors of war" in almost
every quarter of the globe. Without
being either a pessmist or an alarm
list one cannot fail to see that existing
political conditions and complications
are none too full of hope and encOur-
agement for the peace Of the world.
There is war. real. fierce and strenu-
Gus. in South Africa. between the
Britons and the Afrikanders. to which
there may be added the 'black peril
the general uprising of the vast hordes
Of natives of the dark continent. Ru-
mors are rife in every European capt.
tai of combinations for armed inter-
ference with Great Britain's pro-
gramme.
japan is excited over Russian ag-
gression in Korea and China, and ru-
NOR has it that she is seeking Euro
pean and American alliances to check
1t.
The United States has on its hands
something Of war in the Philippines,
and it is intimated that many Of our
warships will be stationed in Asiatic
and south Pacific waters. Meanwhile
our government is insisting on the
"open door, in the orient. France is
hurrying troops into that part of China
which she controls. while Russia is
equally active in preparations for the
enforcement of what she regards as
her rights in the Celestial empire.
Italy, in spite of her strained
finances, has decided not to send her
fleets to winter quarters this year. as
she usually does.
Russia. Germany and Spain are re-
ported to be in consultation with a
view to the occupation Of Ceuta, oppo-
site Gibraltar. a thing that would
mean war. instant and terrible. with
Great Britain. whose formidable chan
mel tieet with the possible anticipa-
ton Of such a move on the part of
those powers. was lately dispatched to
Gibraltar in strict war formation.
The indications at least are that the
dawn of the twentieth century will not
see the hoped for dawn of universal
peace.
