way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu

If contractor McGovern, whose bid ac-
cording to the figures above was S., 900 less
than Mr.. Sweeten's, executes his expressed
determination to test the legality Of Coun-
ellis award of the sewer contract to Swee-
ten, our City Fathers have no one but
themselves to thank for the predicament
they will then be in. The resolution as
adopted is on its face an untruthful state
ment of the action of Council on the bids,
because of necessity the rejected ones were
considered to the point of ascertaining their
imperfection If Mr.. McGovern's bid was
not considered, as the resolution says, he has
good grounds for suit against the city, but
if it was rejected, as it was because he
failed to comply with the terms of the
specification, he has no standing at law.
The misfortune of the affair is that the
bids were considered, or not considered, in
secret session, because the newspapermen,
had they been present. would have been
sure to have been able to tell whether the
faulty bids were rejected after they were
considered or rejected without any con-
sideration at all.

The City of Paterson, this state, sus-
tanned property loss of 100000 600 by
fire last Sunday between midnight and Sun
day afternoon. The fire originated in the
trolley barn, and swept the business and
best resident portion of the city. Three
hundred business places, every bank in the
city, five churches and the city hall,
building that cost 5000, 900, were among
those destroyed, and 1000 people are home
less. The numerous great factories for
which the city is noted, escaped the fire
iend, and the resident section of the en-
oloyees also escaped. Buildings that were
ireproof went down before the fierce heat
lriven by high wind.

THE CIRCULATION,

Money in circulation has increased $69,000, 900 in the year. There was an insignificant decrease of little more than million dollars in gold, but an increase of more than $61 100000 in gold certificates; t he standard silver dollars increased a couple of millions; the whole duantity tof standard silver dollars increased nearly twenty lions, but nine-tenths of them remain ed In the treasury vaults; the silver certificates increased $3.000,0O0; the Sherman notes decreased about $1S,- GOO; the United States notes increased nearly 100000, and there was less than a million dollars increase in na- tional bank notes. Of c curse the to- tai amount of United States did not in- crease at all: the increase in all the na- tional bank notes was less than 3,000,- 900. Tn the previous twelve months the amount of money in circulation in creased $115,O00, ,000, due in large part to the increase of national bank circu- latien under the act of March 14, 1901.

Speaking of the outlook for the con

Speaking of the outlook for the com ing season, Henry C1ews, the banker, says that "even if some damage should follow later on we shall still probably have an average crop, and the season is now so far advanced that a repeti- ton of last years damage is practical ly impossible. 1t was about this time in July, 1901, that the drouth did it's worst, and the first correct estimates of damage were made public. The crop situation now is, therefore, ill strikingly favorable contrast com pared with 1901, except as to wheat, which proved a bumper crop. This year, however, we are promised wheat in plenty and to spare for export. Oats are in satisfactory condition, and the cotton crop promises large yield, even if early estimates have to be mod flied. So far, then, the indications are that we shall have abundant harvests and good, foreign demand for our sur plus. This is of vast importance to the business community, for it assures at least one more season of national prosperity, which there were not few reasons to believe had, for the present at least, reached the zenith

 It is noted that at Pittsburg, where he delivered the Fourth of July ad- dress. the president permitted no hand shaking, did not hold a public recep- tion and none but the committee of the day were allowed to approach him.

sREAT EXCITEMENT IN FRANCE
In Brittany the Closing of C0ngre- gatfOn Schools Meets With Open Defiance and Troops Are
 Overpowered.


 PARIS, July 24.-The agitation pro- goked by the order of Prime Minister Combes to close the congregationalist schools recalls to some extent the scenes enacted when M. Ferry, then premier, expelled the Jesuits in 1880. Demonstrations in favor of the nuns and teaching friars are taking place in Paris and many places in the provinces where the projects presented them selves at the schools and ordered that the institutions be closed. Up to the present, however, no serious incident has been recorded.
 The Nationalists have joined the Clericals in engineering the agitation, and their leaders are in the forefront of the effervescence in Paris. Consid- erable sympathy has been worked up on behalf of the nuns, and their schools have been made the particular objects of demonstrations The Clericals called upon their sympathizers to meet out side of the school conducted by the Sisters of St. Vincent de Paul, in the northeast quarter of Paris, which was closed yesterday afternoon, and con- siderable crowd gathered there, com polling large body of police and mounted municipal guards to form a cordon in the streets leading to the school, A few triding collisions oc- cured between the Clericals and coun- ter demonstrators, who replied to the Clericals' cries of Long live the good sistersr and "Vive Ia liberte!" with Down with the priests!' and sLong live the republcr' A Nationalist mem Der of the chamber of deputies was ar rested while trying to force his way through the police cordon, but was subsequently released.
 The greatest excitement in the prov inces is displayed in the Clerical stronghold of Brittany, where the peasants have gathered in front of the nuns schools in several places and de- clare they will not allow the nuns to be expelled. For instance, at Lander neau a crowd of farmers and women have mounted guard before the school of the White Sisters awaiting the ar rival of the police. The inhabitants of the village of Ploudaniel, who also are guarding the sisters school, seized a lay schoOlmaster and thrashed him with nettles. At La Bresse, in the de- partment of Vosges, the commissary of police, accompanied by gendarmes, thrice tried to approach the congrega- tionalist school in order to effect it's closure, but was obliged to abandon the attempt because of the threatening attitude of the population. At St. Am hrniys Daarl Mines tho damopctra tore detached the horses from the carriages which were conveying the sisters to the railway station and dragged the vehicles, with their occupants, back to the convent shouting Down with the tyrants.'' The gendarmes were power less to prevent the demonstrators from carrying. out their plans, and re-en- forcements had z to be summoned. Against these and similar incidents, however. must be set off the addresses in support of the government voted by many municipS.scouncils.
