The Circulation Statement, showing the amount of money of all kinds on Feb. 1, 1905 in the United States and the amount in circulation issued by the U S Treasury, Department reached the Observer recently. From it we learn that on Feb. 1 1905 the general stock of money in the United States on that date waa $2,836,997,584 of $267,948,419 were held in the US Treasury as assets of the government leaving in circula tion on that date $2,560,049,165 being $81,069,834 more than were in circulation on Feb.1 1, 1904 and $2,133,651,913 more than was in cireulatien iu 1860. Thft per capita circulation in the United States in 1860 was $13.85 in 1870 it was $17.50 in 1880 it had grown to $19.41 in 1890 it was $22.82 ' in 1900 the per capita was $26.94 , in 1903 it had swelled to $29.42 and on Feb 1. 190$ it was $31.07 ; The population in 1860 was 31'44J,321 and on Feb 1, 1905 the Treasury Department , esti - mated the population at 82,670, 000. GOOD GOVERNMENT It is a compliment to the high standard of citizenship in Ore gon where the governor is a radical democrat and the legis lature almost solid republican that the machinery of govern ment runs with so little friction. In no other state wheie a like political situation is found, is there so little jarring of tbe state government. The reason is found in the fact that the de mocratic governor is a sensible and tolerant democrat and the legislature, as a body, has . the best interest of the state at heart Barring the Portland machine, Oregon is not unwholesome, politically, E. O. THE TEACHING JAPANESE ..The Japanese is teaching the world more things than how to win battles over an enemy twice his size, arrogant, equipped for battle and hitherto unconquered The Japanese is ' teaching the world . the value of practical measures of sanitation, with the fundamental .rule of constant watchfulness and the folly of neglecting reasonable precau tions. In an argument for bet- tar sanitary measures in the United States Army, made be fore the House Committee on Military Affairs. Prof. Seaman M D made the statement that the official reports of the medi cal staff of the army nnder Gen eral Oku showed that ot 24,562 sick Japanese soldiers the deaths were only two in each 1,000 while of the American troops in the Philippines the mortality waa seventy in each 1,000. The' American takes too many chances. That which never has happened to him is regarded by him as not being within the bounds of possibility The Japanese . on . the other hand, believes in the . ounce of prevention and sends in ad vance of his army a skilled medical ' staff to inspect ' the waters and the ' best camping grounds. The boldier ia net al lowed to drink from any or from all springs or streams but drink only from fountains which the medical staff has declared to be fit for drinking purposes. It may be that the Japanese has a wonderful constitution but the more probable reason for his healthfulness is found in tbe precautiona taken ty his super iors and tbe obedience he ren ders to tha in. Lloyd's in London is now is suing policies of insurance against peace being declared between Russia and Japan be fore ' tbe first of April. There is no possible riuk that Lloyd's will not take. A rate is fixed on any any risk and the custo mer willing to pay the figure can get a policy. Ex.
