: ; FREE SIL VER COIXAOE,
la an article on "Bank Circulation
and Free Coinage," in the February Fo
rum, Mr. John Jay Knox, who was for
years Comptroller of the Currency makes
it very clear why free coinage of silvur is
not desirable. He says :
"Not far distant is our neighbor the
Republic of Mexico. It issues a silver
dollar. A few years ago it whs in circu-
lation here. Every bank in the country
held these coins during the war and be
fore the resumption of gold payments.
Have we any of them now? The silver
dollar of Mexico is a full legal-tender in
all payments in the Republic of Mexico.
The silver dollar of Mexico is wortli more
intrinsically than the four-hnndred-and
twelve-and-a-half-gram dollar of the
United States. Why is it not worth a
gold dollar, less-the cost of transportation
to Mexico?' Mexico is enjoying the
blessings of the' free and unlimited coin
age of silver ! Why then do we not re
ceive this Mexican dollar at par over our
counters? How long after we have had
the benefits of the free coinage of silver
will our silver dollar of four hundred
twelve and a half grains be received in
the capitals of the Old World at its face
value in gold, at one hundred cents on
the dollar, less the coat of transporta
tion? How long will it be received at
our bank counters at par in gold after
free coinage has been authorized? I need
not reply to that question. All financial
men know that when free coinage is au
thorized, our silver dollars .here and
abroad will be worth only its intrinsic
value. They know what a credit this
great United States has built up; they
know what credit the great Republic of
France enjoys ; they know what credit
the German Empire, the Empire f Great
Britain, and the Bank of England has.
Back of their one-cent pieces, back of
their centimes, back of their plennigs,
back of their half-crowns, and of their
subsidiary silver coinage, 19 the credit of
the country, the prdmise to redeem these
coins in gold. That is the answer to the
question why the silver dollar oday is
worth more than its intrinsic value in
the hands of foreign dealers in bullion.
It is because these coins are redeemable
in gold, it is because we are upon the
gold, not upon the silver standard.
When free coinage of silver conies, the
promise of this country, with its great
credit unsurpassed anywhere in the
world is withdrawn, and our silver dol
lar, like the Mexican dollar, becomes
worth its intrinsic value only at home

The late lamented Jeames Yellow
' plush in his happiest moments never
'-snroasHed a. fcnnri wiili ma K-nA n
-recent description of a funeral in New
York. Among those present was a
gentleman who is not in any sense a
public man nor a seeker of newspaper
notoriety. He is a very rich man, how
ever, and this fact evidently filled the
observant Jeames' buzzum with awe and
reverence.
"The young man," says Jeames, with
bated breath, "whose wealth is com
puted at over fifty millions, stood an
attentive, devout and sad participant in
the obsequies," his "pale face, fringed
Just beneath the ears with tufts of black
whiskers, wore a melancholy expression.
Ho was attired in a neat fitting suit of
black, black, gloves and tie. He stood
when the congregation rose, knelt when
it knelt and sat -when it sat.- -Throughout
the long service he remained .with
set, saddened face, and most of the time
with bowed head. Never once did he
glance around to see who was there and
not once did he exchange words with his
pew companion? ; - -' - y
Jeames was : overcome.- A gentleman
behaved like a - gentleman, and yet,
strange to say, he is computed to be
worth fifty millions of - dollars! - Evi
dently the awe stricken Jeames sup
poses that a man so rich might - be nat
urally expected to wear a red coat and
yellow breeches at a funeral., to . rise
wnen tne congregation sat dovra, to sit
down when it rose and to dance a jig
when it knelt. That a rich man should
condescend to be a gentleman evidently
amazes Jeames, and with trembling fin
gers he records the wondrous fact,
which is then placed within- the. posses
sion of every friend of humanity for the
insignificant sum of two cents. ' These
are the things that inspire respect and
admiration for a free and independent
press. Harper's Weekly. .
Complications of the Grip.
The most serious complication of the
grip is acute bronchitis. This may ap
pear early or late. The breathing be
comes rapid 'and difficult. A spasmodic
cough is almost -constant. The expec
torations are glairy and tenacious.
With all this there is a peculiar prostra
tion. - f .
A more common complication is pneu
monia, of. which there are three -varie-tiesr-croupoti8,'
congestive and broncho
pneumonia. Although these complica
tions aire dangerous, yet recovery is the
rnlennder, prompt 'and careful . treat
ment. ' ' ' -
A third complication of the grip is
connected with the heart,- If patients
sit up they become faint. Some die of
simple failure of the heart:, others' are
saved from death only by careful atten
tion on the part of the nurse. ' After the
grip has passed' off, a' tendency to faint-
ness and neuralgic pains may remain for
weeks or months. : ,'
Another cbmplication ' shows itself in
a diarrhea: 'still another affects the
nervous system and is characterized by
pains in' the head or elsewhere, or. by
weakness in certain parts of the body,
such as the hands or arms." ,
As to treatment, the doctor must de
cide in view of all the symptoms. But
the ptttient should in - every case take to
his bed. 10 keep about is exceedingly
dangerous, especially as exposing the pa
tient to tne above complications. Lon
don Lancet.
. Karsyn of the Influenza.
"EmDeror Francis Josenh ia KnfForinir
from la grippe." "Mine. Modjeska is
prostrated irom a severe attack of in
fluenza." "'Justices Brown ad Lamar,
of the United States supreme court, are
confined to their rooms with severe at
tacks of la grippe." "King William, of
Wurteinberg, is seriously ill with influ
enza." "Seventy cadets at Annapolis
are down .with la grippe." "Alfred
Cellier, the composer, died today from
influenza.", "Major McKiriley is con
fined to his bed with the grip." "Eliza
beth McLaw cut her throat today
while crazed with la grippe." "Mine.
Janauschek .is confined to her room
with ' influenza." "The hereditary
Prince of Saxe-Meiningen, his wife and
daughter, are suffering from influenza."
"Sir William Arthur White, British em
bassador to Turkey, died today from in
fluenza." "Archduke Ernest died in
Vienna of influenza." "The influenza
is racing in the South Sea islands of the
Pacific," says a Melbourne dispatch.
"At Windsor, N. Y., while suffering
from la grippe, William Trost' commit
ted suicide." "Archduke Sigismund.
died in Vienna of influenza. He was a
cousin of the Austrian' kaiser." "Von
Bulow. the great pianist, is serious ill
with influenza."
So run the telegraphic dispatches from
all over the world. '
An Antioorn Law Leader Dead.
Mr. Peter Alfred Taylor had so long
retired from public life that the an
nouncement of his death will recall an
almost forgotten name. But in his ac
tive days he' did splendid public service.
He was an aggressive Radical when
Radicalism- was unpopular, and the
weak and downtrodden had always in
him an ardent and active friend.
As a member of the Anticorn Law
league, a defender of Mazzini, a cham
pion of the northern ' states during the
American civil war, a determined op
ponent of the game laws, compulsory
vaccination and grants to royalty, he
did much to stir up public feeling on
these subjects, and when, after a parlia
mentary career of twenty-two years, he
retired, owing to ill health, the cause of
reform lost an honest and outspoken
champion.
Mr. Taylor was wealthy, but gave
liberally, and he deserves to be held in
grateful remembrance as a man who
singularly sincere, unselfish and of
earnest purpose, did much for the pub
lic weal. PallIall Gazette. '
lUd More Than Was Expected.
For hundreds of miles in the vicinity
of Lake Austin, western Australia, there
has been such a prolonged drouth that
crops of all kinds have suffered. A
number of farmers combined to bear the
expense of rain producing experiments
and 600 was subscribed. Walter Mur
chison. a chemist, was engaged, and
after a fortnight's preparation a series of
explosions were followed in less than
four hours by drenching showers.
The atmospheric concussions-not only
produced copious falls of rain, but had
an utterly unexpected but equally desir
able effect upon the rabbits. The thun
dering explosions killed tens of thou
sands of rabbits, which' had for years
preyed upon the crops. Yankee Blade.
Electricity for Deafness.
The extent to which electricity is be
ing used in legitimate medical practice
is rapidly on the increase; and many of
the new devices for applying it have dis
tinct merit. A recently invented appa
ratus for the cure of deafness comprises
a battery, a belt, an electrode supporter
on the belt, and shaped to rest on the ear;
and connections between the electrode
and the battery. ,, This provides. a con
venient and efficient' mode of receiving
the current, which "can be applied in
finely graduated strength.'-Exchange.' '

Carried the Bonds la m. R-
- State Treasurer Bobleter left St. Paul
Monday for New York. There was
nothing especially interesting in this
single statement, and only two or three
attaches of the capitol and a vigilant re
porter knew that the little yellowgrip
which the treasurer carried in. his hand
contained $1,200,000 in '- bonds duly
attested and signed by the'governbr and
secretary of the state of Minnesota,- and
folded in a small package about the size
of an ordinary law book. ; Rather than
trust to the uncertainty of ?an ' express
company in this age when' , the train
robber is abroad seeking whom' he may
touch. Colonel Bobleter .concluded-to
convey the precious package to its
destination, where it will be used to
liquidate other bonds of a like sum, the
advantage of the transfer lying in the
fact that those issued will hear only' 3J
per cent, while the old ones bore AH-

For three years the territory from
which natural gas has been drawn has
nojt been sensibly enlarged, and except
in the new fields ita irinr&1 nan
L manufacturing has steadily diminished.
fin 1 . . -
iuere oertauuy neea oe no tears that
coal mining will become a lost art. But
we are inclined to think that the pres
ent tendency is mainly a halt or reac
tion and that natural gas has come to
stay. Just now its uses are merely sug
gestive of the future.
It brings to us fuel in the most con
venient form the refined essence freed
from dross, weight, impurity; self, trans
porting, smokeless, an invisible potent
agent that once possessed of we cannot
well part with. If nature cannot be de
pended upon to furnish it ready made
we must undertake to make it or some
thing nearly identical out of coal or oil.

'A Diplomat's Graces.
Lord Dufferin will probably make a
popular embassador in Paris. He is by
no means a heaven born statesman, and
there is some exaggeration in the praise
with which he is bespattered. He is es
sentially an Irishman, clever, adaptable,
pleasant and resourceful, with a very
full share of blarney and an eye not
quite blind to his own advancement. In
India he persuaded the Indians, in Can
ada the Canadians, in Russia the Rus
sians, in Italy the Italians and in Turkey
the Turks, that each was the special ob
ject of his love and admiration. He will
now persuade the French that he has al
ways loved them above all other nations.
In fact he is an excellent diplomatist.
