1t will be perceived that the amount
of money in circulation has more than
doubled since 1880 and that it has al
most trebled since in 1870, during
which thirty years the population has
only increased about twofold.
Such figures as these refute the wild
statements of the Bryanites, especially
as more than one-half of the money in
circulation is gold coin or certificates
based on gold or its equivalent held in
the treasury for their redemption.
There is more gold coin and gold GER
tificates in circulation in the United
States to-day than the total circulation
of all kinds of money in the year 1878
These are facts worth bearing in
mind when free silverites talk of the
contraction in the circulating medium
caused by the adoption of the gold
standard. Chicago Times-Herald.

Oh, the Pain of

Rheumatism often causes the most in

vainly sought relief from this disabling
disease, and are to-day worse off than

cause it is the only remedy which can

Democratic scurriIity.


The Minneapolis Journal says that
neither Washington's nor Lincoln's ad-
ministrations were subjected to the
scurrilous assaults which have charac-
terized the activities of the present
INSTRUMENTATION element. There is
reason to believe that the Minneapolis
paper Is in error. The Jefferson press
did nothing else than abuse and lie
about Washington during his last ad-
ministration. The scurrility was coarse
and brutal. AS to Mr.. Lincoln, let any
one go through the files of any Demo
cratic paper of the war period, or the
debates of the House. Gen. Grant
was the object of every possible kind
of scurrility and malignity. The truth
is the assailants of all these men were

Two Billions in CircuIafinn-

For the first time on record the
monthly treasury statement shows that
the money in circulation in the United
States exceeds two billions. Not only
is this the high-watcr mark of money
in circulation, but, calculated on the
highest estimation of population. H.
10000, it yields the highest per capita
circulation ever enjoyed in this coun-
try, to wit, $25.9S.

RACE Of DWARFS

Dwells Among the Mountains oe Our
Unconquered Island of Luzon
The Island of Luzon in the Philip
pines contains one of the recognized
races of dwarf men, the Aetas, whose
average height is only four feet eight
inches or four feet nine inches. They
dwell among the mountains in the in
terror of the island, and are allied to
the Andamanese, inhabiting islands in
the Bay of Bengal. 1t is remarked by
a recent writer that all of the dwarf
race ,urvive only in the most inacces-

Why More Railways Were Built.
The Railroad Gazette reports that.
according to estimates and facts al
ready at hand, it appears that during
the year ending Dec. 81 more than
500 miles of new railroad have been
built in the United States. There have
been no figures like these Since before
the free-trade blight fell upon the
country through the election of Grover
| Cleveland to the Presidency in 1892.
During the free trade period the aver
age number of miles of new railroad
built per year did not reach half this
amount. Free trade is as preventive of
the further development of the country
and of a greater opening up of its re-
sources as it is destructive to business
already established. Every one of
those 1900 and more miles of new rail
road was built in response to the de-
mands Of some new industry, or to the
increased demands for transportation
facilities made by those industries al
ready In existence, and to which new
life was given by the enactment of the
Dingley law. Altogether, as the Ga
zette puts it. "the exhibit is a remark
able evidence of the widespread pros
perity that has at last overtaken the
country"

Osteopathy In Court.

The state board of medical eXami-
ners has decided to prosecute every
doctor of osteopathy in the state on
two counts. First. on the charge of
unlawfully using the title of doctor,
and second. on the charge of holding
out as physician without having rec
ognized license. The state board of
medical examiners has been accumu-
lating evidence for some time and the
prosecution will be begun soon.
There is little doubt that the action
of the board will be bitterly fought by
the osteopaths. The state is pre-
pared to carry the case to the supreme
court in order that the matter once
begun may be settled for all time.
1t will be far reaching in its effects,
inasmuch as the largest college of
osteopathy in the world is located in
Milwaukee. Much of the evidence to
be presented by the board has been
taken from pamphlets and periodicals
published by the Milwaukee college of
osteopathy. The official organ of this
college states that the college con
fers the degree upon graduation Of
doctor of osteopathy, instead of di-
plomate of osteopathy." Another
clause states that lit is absolutely di-
vorced from drugs and the knife, and
makes use of none of the appliances of
other schools in treating diseases.
Osteopathy is legally recognized in
Vermont, Missouri, North Dakota,
Michigan, Iowa and South Dakota.
The state board will base its case
mainly on the allegation that the os-
teopaths in Wisconsin are giving
m edical treatment for the alienation
of disease and in some instances pre-
scribing medicine and drugs with the
osteopathic treatment. Their method
