Population and Currency.

The industrial commission which is in
session ut Washington, and which is
hearing the views Of the various persons
concerning the general business situa-
tim, is compelled to listen to some odd
characters. Among those who have Just
been enlightening the commission is l..
said "the agricultural interests of
the South are greatly depressed" and
he cites three reasons for this imaginary
condition of things. Silver has not
been recognized As money metal"
There has mot been an increase in the
volume of money to correspond with the
increase in population" Therefore
there has been general depreciation
OF values
On every specific point here presented
ioumans is far astray. Silver has all
the qualities in debt payment which it
ever had. 1t is the precise equal of gold
in this respect under the law. The vol
ume of the currency amounted to S2l 10
per capita at the middle of 1896 1t has
been constantly on the increase since
then. 1t was S2i.7l in 1898. 1t is more
than S2G now. There has been no gen
eral depreciation of values in agricul-
ture or in any other calling in the United
States. The opposite has been the case.
The market price of all farm products
has gone up since the beginning of the
present year. 1t was higher at the be
ginning of the year than it was in 1896.
1t seems impossible for Il silvcritc to
say anything about the industrial situa-
ton without uttering falsehoOds. The
points here mentioned are so well known
that there is no excuse for making any
mistake about them. Every reasonable
being in the United States knows that
silver is Just as effective in debt payment
now as it ever was. Every person with
an ounce of brains knows that, though
population is growing rapidly, the vol
ume of the currency in circulation is in
creasing at a far greater rate. Every
such person is also aware that the prices
of farm products are much higher than
they were during the Bryanite reign of
terror in 1896. The sessions OF the in
dustrial commission are attracting some
picturesque cranks.

WHEN the Democratic governor of
Idaho called out the troops to suppress
rioting and destruction of property he
gave serious offense to the Suffers and
the Luntzes in his party. Democratic
leaders never were quite agreed upon
such questions. 1t will be recalled that,
upon the occasion of the Chicago riots,
a Democratic governor. seeking politi-
cal capital, encouraged the disorder and
lawlessness, and Democratic president
sent General Miles and his troops to
bring order out Of chaos. Inconsistency
incompetency and incompatibility are
specialties of the Democratic party.

Curious Facts About Goa.

Australian soft or bituminous coal
produces twice as much gas as Euro
pean or American coal. For this rea-
son the Australian coal is imported into
Europe, although very costly. This is a
case of the best coal going to Newcastle
to oust an inferior kind. Pennsylvania
anthracite weighs twice as much as
European antracite and takes but half
the space. This fact enables it to
compete on favorable terms with the
European product because of the ad
vantage in railroad freights.--St. Louis

MINISTER WI Ting Fang has been
severely criticised on account of the
lecture delivered before the Ethical Gull
ture Society of New York last SUNDAY.
He was in Philadelphia. Tuesday, anC
referring to the criticisms Of his lee
ture, he said that the reports that were
published did not give full facts and
were therefore misleading. He had no
intention Of attacking the Christian re-
ligion. His theme was Confucianism,
and to make the cardinal points as
clear as possible he chose the best form
of religion, Christianity, for compari-
son. 1T was not my intention" he
said, "to condemn the teachings Of
Christ. Taking His philosophy as a
standard should be considered as a
compliment. I desired to explain how
Confucianism was like and how differ
ent from Christianity. I did not con-
denim the teachings of Christ. 1 said
they were very noble and very difficult
for men to attain to-some of them.
When I blamed Christians, I certainly
did not condemn their religion. I have
read part Of the Bible and appreciate
and respect it, and I never in my life
have made an attack on Christianity.
I praise the creed, but I repeat that
some Of it's doctrines are too nigh, too
grand for the mere mortal to follow"

PENSION APPLICANTS.

sioners has formulated the following
set of rules which, it is hoped, Will an
swer the many questions that are De-
ing asked about pensions;
1. The county pension boards VII
meet as required by law, in January, al
the county seats, for the purpose OF ex-
amining the applications of the various
ex-Confederate soldiers. sailors aHo
widows who are applicants for nensai0dn ntaOd
under act approved February ~, l9oo'
Said application must have the ap-
proval of the county board before the
state board will approve.
9. The attention Of the county pen
sion boards Is directed to the certlhcate
of the two witnesses, which requires
that they shall not be on thu pension
roll. This is a change from the olo
form and too much attention cannot De
given to 1t. ,,
3. Do not send to this office dlsap-
proved applications for pensions..
T.. DO not use old blanks, but those
prepared under Act. 1900. They Will be
designated by "Appllcation, under Act
1900" o,a

THE cable dispatches tell of little
spat that occurred recently between
General Chaffee and Field Marshal
Count Won Waldersee in Pekin. 1t ap-
pears that shortly after the arrival of
Count Won Waldersee, the walls Of Pc
kin were looted of some astronomical
instruments Of value to the looters,
principally as relics. General Chaffee
complained to Count Won Waldersee in
language that was more forcible than
polite. He referred to the fact that
the looting was done by soldiers who
had no part in the fighting that led to
the capture Of Pekin, and this was
capable of being construed as kind OF
reflection on the Germans arriving with
Won Waldersee. Won Waldersee refus-
ed to receive the letter; but instead sent
it back to Chaffee. Chaffee modified
the terms of his complaint and the Incl
dent is now regarded as closed; but as
to whether the astronomical instru-
ments have been restored does not ap-
pear.
