1t is stated that this year the Govern
ment cannot increase deposits in the
National banks, or purchase bonds for
the purpose of relieving a possible tight
money market. The reason is on ac-
count Of the decrease of receipts, the
Panama payments, and the increase in
expenditures which leaves no surplus.
But according to M. Thery, the French
economist, the banks of New York hold
this year the pretty little sum of 1886
100000 mostly in gold. Of the past ten
years increase of the gold held in re-
serve, the same authority says the Unit

comes to the rescue handsomely by esti-

Washington is likely to have two dis
tinguished visitors in the near future.
President Diaz has announced that he
will visit this country when the weather
gets cooler; and the Archbishop of Can
Uerbury will sail for America early in
September, to attend the great Protes-
tant Episcopal convention which sits in
October. Many social functions have
have been planned in his honor, and he
will dine at the White House. The Arch
bishop enjoyed the personal friendship
of Queen Victoria, and is in the receipt
of the comfortable salary of $4,000 a
year, besides having Lambeth palace for
residence, one of the most splendid in
England.

The Barnum & Bailey Show Will Soon
Be with Us.

Already the public Is congratulating
itself upon the fact that it is to have
the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show or
Earth this season. The date has been
positively set for August 9Th, and a
great crowd as we'll as a great circus
day are anticipated. Milwaukee will
be the only city in this vicinity where
this greatest of all big shows will ex.
hibit this year, and naturally there is
great deal of local interest in the
event. Inquiries at the various trans
portation lines elicit the information
that special cheap rate tickets to the
show will be on sale circus day, and
that large numbers Of people in this
locality will take advantage of the OPP
portunity to see the big exhibition.
They will go expecting to see great
performance as we'll as a splendid ex-
position Of geological and other dis
plays, and, judging from the unanimous
verdict Of the newspapers in New York
City and elsewhere. they will not be
disappointed. The comments Of the
New ork press the DAY after the an-
uual opening at Madison Square Garden
were laudatory in the extreme. The
Sun declared: cit is the best show
that ever struck this town. The
Tribune called it "a living, breathing,
acting, fairy book" The Press said
that ''adjectives fail and limp in de-
scribing the show" The evening
Telegram described it as the 1.-The most
skillfuIly executed exhibition in all de-
partments that circus history has ever
recorded" And these are only few
of the applauding comments. The
to eud. 1t opens with a magnificent
reproduction of the Dunbar at Delhi, -
the most gorgeous picture Of Oriental
pageantry and coloriDg ever attempted,
and closes with series of sensational
and holly contested modern and ancient
racing events, The intervening circus
program is complete with startling
novelties. A great company of 800
performers from all parts of the world
presents all that is best and most start
ling in ariel. acrObatic and equestrian
feats; there is congress of high-class
manege riders from the principal cir
cuses of Europe, and forty clowns make
the great hippodrome track resound
with frequent and hilarious merriment,
| The comedy of the show Is so inter-
| spersed through the performance as to
| relieve the excitement consequent up
on the "thrillers'' in the show. The
greatest of these sensational acts are
the marvellous feats of Volo. the Volt
ant, in riding the aerial arch, and OF
| the famous Ancillotti in turning a
somersault On weel while looping the
gap. The menagerie with it's thirty
| elephants, it's herd herd of four giraffes
and its fifty cages of other rare animals,
is in itself a great exhibition. The
models of Uncle Sans fighting ships
also attract a great deal of attention.
The circus engagement will be intro
duced with a monster free street pa
rade.
