CIRCULATION (SWORN) OVER 4000 , jNlONi eex NO PERPETUAL DE3T. Secretary Shaw in his annual report calls8 attention Ho a well known defect fn our currency and banking system. This Is, in brief, it lack of ability to respond promptly to the needs of busi ness for more currency at certain sea- . sons, and as', promptly to retire ,that currency when It is not needed. ; On November 1, 1902, oir vi -ibla stock of currency, including nickels and cop pers in circulation and in eluding cash in the treasury, was.. $2,631,417,714; d vided-as -follows: ' Gold, $1,230. S72.77t; sl!vr, $647,791,592; national notes, $372, 477,016; bank "notes, $380,476,334. With , an estimated population of 79,572,000 the currency . stock per y capita was $32.07, and the currency in circulation was $29.36 per capita. ,'; . With the - possible exception of , France, our currency st-xk per capita and in circulation is the largest In th? world; We ; certainly have enough money, taking one season with; another. omeijmes we - appear to have too much currency. But at other times we haveinot enough, l.r.hiv condition is detrimental to business stability. 3 rDurIng certain months of the yeatr says Secretaryhaw of our currency supply, "imere.s rates dropjied dan gerously low dangerous in the nse thit speculation vas i.-r itc 1 thereby WhtTi the time arrived for moving th crops rates advanced ularmingly hfgh. Iantinhe the ; price of Govemmojirt bonds rendered the maljiterrJ nee of National bank circulation unprofitabl, and this class of currency was retired "with great rapidity." ' t . . . Our very prosperity. In ractv'tends lo Contract our currency at thV precise times whrntF Should Expand jto mt business newls. t For as Infarct rat-s rise so do Government bonds for th-Bc ars 4he sexiurities on which mi)y tail be borfowe when all others y re ! -fujfd. ,I"ut as' bonlu rl . th bank note Issued against them brcome un profltable, and are retired, thus con tracting the currency when it should expand. , " . ' . .' To meet thse recurring demands for more currency several plans have been suggested. The "Oreenbucker' or-Populist plan was. for the Government to issue more proni'ists to pay. ' Rut of our present currency 'stocky $1,174,017, SH5 is promises to rpay "National note. bank notes, and 65 et-nts in each dollar creillt, Ttre in-ople have set theiM faces aRalnst the Nation Issuing more promissory notes, of any kind. Therel fore the Grenbacker-Popu'list plan need -not bo discuSised. I Our currency stock is naturaUy ul creased by gold produced tor rfnpocted, less gold consumed in the arts, if so increased in 1901 over $5t,000.000. But this method : cannot promptly meet business needs. There remain, there fore, only two plans. "Either the Govt ernment debt must be perpetuated," aii Secretary Shaw says, "m a basis for National bank circulation, or other system must be provided. some Secretary Shaw favors some system by which the banks .will be enabled, when business heetiji more currency, to supply it by Issuing notes basod on their credit or asots, thus converting flxel wealth Into fluid capital. The various plans for doing this need not be discussed at this time.; Yet? it 'would seem' that some such plan will ultimately haveto be adopted. For the American people are certainly pp" posed to a perpetual National debt. : 1 The American rule from the begin ning has been to pay our public debts as ratiidly as possible or convenient, and never to regard them as a perpet ual Charge upon posterity. -We cer tilnly want and we certainly need a more elastic currency. If we set earn estly tibout it we will get a currency bth safe, na ours now In, and also elastie... Hut we want.no eternal mort gC uptm iosterlty. We want no Prpe tual debt AMONG MEN POWER.

' 'X ' To be sure this can be done, but It cannot be done without directly vio lating the Stated Constitution, which, let us quote again, says': ' "No Senator or ileprdsentatlve' shall,' djuring the time .for .which he may , have been elected, be eligible to any office, the election to whirh is vested In the f'gfslatlve Assemlbly." - - Ccrtalnlyl--no one presumes to - say iha.t the framers of our Constitution did not know that the Constitution of the United Htat is the higher law. but. nevertheless, they . did say An plain words that.no member Of the Legislature of Oregon should be elec t ed to the United States Senate with out specific instructions received from the people of Oregon. ' :"- The beneficial effect of this provis ion was foreseen, as a means of de priving Members of the Legislature of the privileges of becoming personally Interested in the election of them selves to the Senate, or other similar office, and has been vindicated by subsequent experience and present ef forts. ' , " . 1 Of course, the member who can cast the popular vote for U. S. Senator aside as a thing of no consequence to him, can with the same ease of con science take an oath to support- the shove clause in our State Constitu lion and trampling it under foot as a trifling thing, but the Statesman pre dicts 1 that' a large majority of them will refuscrto be thus used by" the poli ticians as against the Constitution and the people.

SENATORIAL DEADLOCK. ;i There are likely to be deadlocks in the election of Senators In four States Delaware, ' Colorado, Oregon and Kansas. V. California has . been named as in the deadlock column, but the only point of controversy in this State is In the choice of RepTtbllcansV But, a the time approaches for the Legis lature to meet,' the opposition to Sen ator Perkins fades away. Delaware is the storm center this year as in sevev- at preceding years. There are two well developed factions in the Republi can party the Addicks and the antt Addlcks.;"' There are In the present Legislature twenty-one Addicks tUe publicans; nine . regular Republicans and twenty one Democrats. about whose titles there la no 'dispute. There Is one' vacartcy caused by a tie vo-e. Of course, it ls"poslbIe; for the two Republican factions to come together, but the attitude of all tb members in Itspect to Addhks Is so well defined that a change would be attended with suspicion. Tne most natural way 01 1 o the itwrner is for the regular Re pull leans and the Democrats to r.ti e-.ch other in the election of one regu lar Republican and one Democrat. .. In Colorado-the Democrats have fifty-three on Joint ballot and the Repub lir e.ns forty-seven, on the" face of the returns. But the Republicans control tht House and the seats of eeveral Democrats are contested.

If this bad been done the scattering ; se lections which have been made since would have devolved upon specially ap pointed gen Is by the Govrior.

San t lam to-inform the public that his 'employer was not allowed to "butt In' on a special privilege. 1 t Some man , 1i Portland informs the public that he knows that , what - the distinguished citizen of Mehama Vas told to write,is so, .V" To all of which probably, no one could be found who would offer any serious objection, but . la Senatorial election is approaching, therefore, and wherefore. OUR SCHOOLS. The enrollment In Salem's public schools is already greater by sixty-five than the -total- for : last year,- The schools here are in very good shape, and vigorous and faithful work is be ing done. There is one teacher less in number than 'four years ago, yet the work " accomplished has never , before been up to the'. present sjtandard-. -, ; .'IV la good for. 3. town .to- maintain the best ! public schools possible." tGooA In various ways. In 'Baker City' they have voted a school tax of 20 mills; and the 1 i-otal .for; school and city ; purposes is 6 roilIs .Yet Baker City is growing faster than any other town iri the state of Its" size, 7 or approaching tts size. There are three more teachers than last year, and yet the rooms are Very much crowded. - '' : ''' This is not an argument for a high tax. The people of Salem pay, eight mills for the maintenance of their schools. - The, directors are doing the best they can; with the available' funds but 'they might be able to make some Improvements if they could have little more leeway- in financial affairs These betterments' wlll come 'in time Sulem muzt stand by her public schools- NOT A BRILLIANT FINISH. The end 01 tne world' has been prophesied from time to time either by religious "enthusiasts who found their authority for the dates they severally set for that tremendous event In the books of Daniel" arid Revelations, or by specially gifted individuals, like Mother Shlpton, . the source of whose oracular : utterances was their intui tion. ' ; ! Now, a German scientist. Dr. 3d.;W. Meyer, has entered the lists of end-of-the-worId seers.; He ' has figured out the final catastrophe according to the mostWpproved principles of mathemat ics, astronomy, physics and chemistry and has published to bobk giving the net results of his 'calculations. Dr.s Meyer Is careful to avoid setting the exact day, 'hour and minute. Being no inspired Elijah on the one Hand, or Im pudent Cagliostro on the other. Dr. Meyer sts up no claims to the infalll--bility of his reckoning, j He frankly ad. mlta that he may be a; few billions of years off one way or the .other; but as to the certainty of the end of the world, and as to the manner In which the drop curtain is to descend, there can be among scientists, n says, no reason able doubt.' ;'V - : ' ' ; ' Dr. Meyer carries his argmuet atlll further and t xtinguishes all the energy ofp the universe ; forever and ever. A writer In. the Anaconda Standard has summarised Dr. Meo'er'a arguments thus: 1 You 3ee It will come ebout In this w-ay: Every planet ttta t has a satellite win draw It to It r bosom by the force o A gravitation. Slowly but surely we are drawing our own moon toward us, end some day it will Inev itably bump Into us and become like a huge wart on the earth. There Is no probability of the moon's doing this sny day this week; but as sure as pumpkins the moon is drawing an Inch or so earthwards every few mil-1 Hon years, and the Ingenuity of nian Is poweri-is to stand the blamed thing' off.

There will be no more "servants." It has been ro decreed by the convention of the Nationlal Housewives Assocla tlon, which met in Chicago week before last Housework from the kitchen to Ihe garret Is to be elevated to ihe dig nity of a profession. There will be no such a thing as a ?'cook or a'dlsh washer" : or ., a "house- girl" Instead there will be u. '."mistress of cooktng' s-nd a. "spinster of dishwashing and a "doctress , of 'general 'housework. These are-some "of the , titles hat will appear npon the diplomas to. be Issued by 'thehew school of technology the Natinai . Hu3ewives" Assoialion is to found.- Iti was the idea of the mover of the hew departure that - - the only way to solve 'the' "help, problem1 was to, insist that employes in every ; de partment of household- ' work; should Wave a technical education before be in g given a position; also that each one .should, have a diploma showing her to be possessed Of the - necessary requirements In her department. The Idee,' caught on at once, and ' now ' the good women composing the National Housewives'. Association. - are going right ahead to found the school. It isn't such a bad idea, either. The word . ser van t" as applied to house hold employes has a somewhat .'dis- agreeable sound. One almost would rather be) called a, "hired girl. though that isn't so agreeable, either. No doubt it is the fpar of being designated as the one or the other that has kept many a girl of 4 good average intelli gence from " assuming such . duties. Thoughtless people will use such terms now an 1 then without regard to the effect upon the feelings of the party concerned. The new , titles . proposed may rake the rough edge off the work. so to speak, jind not grate so hard on t he sens! hi 1 i ties- f. - ""-"t. ' - Many other Improvements may come with .the change. W "are . not i pre pared to saiy just what ibey' all Are at this time,' but the possibilities - are limitless. Among thetn: may be men tioned tbe elimination of stray Hairs fronf the food, less broken dishes and a few clean towels when one gets up In the morning. . " A3 TO "SACRIFICES." With a wave of the hand that would appear to end the matter, If spoken by, one; with rauthority. J tire. Astoria n remarks that Governor Geera cSndi dacy for the United fStaes "Serrate "is not worth considering J ; ; 1 Here Is a law of the state, carefully prepared and -amended on its pWsage through the Legislature In order: tint It might be, perfected, and fully com piled with in every particular, sup pigmented by the votes of 45,000 men of Oregon, on the one side, and - the Opinion of one' man on the other ' I rne people are watching closely to see whether the next "sacrifice la to be made by themselfes" or by others.- It is going to be a mighty one-elded game unless; the I,egtskMure concludes Ao deride the popular vote. In which case something will probably drop later on. Judge Mullins. of Denver, has made himself honorably-famous' by condemn- ng the mayor and eleven aldermen of the city to Imprisonment; for four months for contempt of court. - The orTlclals, In their eagerness to grants franchise -to the Denver City Tram way Company, brushed aside a re straining order and passed an ordin- 6c oil s fojjiiuiing; an ; ; vJAim ance giving the use of the streets to the company for a' erm of twenty years. Not only was' the bill Jammed through with suspicious haste, and.ln plain violation of the order of the court, but against the protests of many citizens. It was singularly gen erous In I Its provisions, permitting t'te corporation to extend its lines along certain thoroughfares for twenty ye;-s and to charge during the entire life of the franchise a?-full " five -cent fate. This, f course, prevented all posy:le reduction until the expiration of the privilege. '. , . ; . ... Yesterday's dispatches Indies t that probably John Barrett wlllinot be appointed Minister to Japan m mi count of a mild but firm protest by th Japanese Minister at Washing I'ii.

It Ins been less than one year since the pa pers all over the country were unmer cifully ..roasting "our John" on ac count of his tendency to magnify his importance.
