10, 1895.

NATIONAL bank circulation outstanding on April 30 amounted to $209,628,923. This represents an increase of 82,178,779 for the month and of Sl,890,628 for the twelve months.

THE New York World, a thoroughly Democratic paper, says that the striking feature of Senator Voorhees' career is the fact that he never changes his pail or its contents, but merely the shoulder on which he carries it.

THE New Albany City Council lias taken the first steps toward the purchase of the water works. The sentiment in favor of municipal ownership of water, gas and electric works is rapidly growing all over the country. In a few brief years all these things, including street car lines will be owned and operated by each municipality.

THE regents for the completion of the State Soldiers' tnd Sailors' Monument are Gen. Lew Wallace, Gen. Freu Knefler and Major G. V. Menzies. The selection of these gentlemen is a happy solution of a difficulty of long standing. II ought to give universal satisfaction. Now then let have peace, and a. speedy completion of the monument.

MACARONI is made out of wheat. We have wheat in this country. We have so much of it that we have been feeding it to the American hog. But in spite of this we bought last year over $3,000,000 worth of macaroni from a single district in Italy. It gave work to hundreds of men in that district. But why should not the »work have been done in ^America by American workmen for American wages?

THE Bradford, (England) Observer, in its annual trade review of 1S94 says: "If the whole world had been one vast federation of states, and Europe had elected the Democratic party to represent its interest at Washington, we could not have held a stronger belief that that party was working in our interests." There are, after all, some English newspapers that have a very -good idea about American politics, and the Bradford Observer is one of them.

THE Democratic New Albany Press says: If a full vote of the Democracy of Indiana was taken to-day on gold and silver the ratio would be fully 10 in favor of the white metal.

to 1

And the Democratic Lafayette Sunday Times pepperishly replies: Which may be true, serving to show that the fools in the Democratic party are not all dead.

These straws indicate that the Dem ocratie storm center lias a wider area than Illinois.

GKNKKAI. HARRISON'S silence on the silver question is becoming painful.— Terre Hnutc Tribune.

General Harrison is a private citizen and is entitled to all the rights and privileges common to any other citizen. Just a year ago Gen. Harrison presided at the State convention and in his speech he gave utterance to his views on the silver question. He reiterated his sentiments in the great speech lie made in New York last Fall. There lias been no occasion for him to mount the hustings since just for the purpose of removing a "painful" pain from the Tribune.

THK Director of the Mint, Mr. Preston, said the other day to a newspaper correspondent: "Free coinage is not a physical feasibility, the reason being that the government has not the minting facilities for coining silver dollars at a greater rate than §35,000,000 to $40,000,000 a year. The government already possesses a sufficient stock of bullion to keep it running for at least lour years. The silver product of the United States in 1892 at its coining value at that time amounted to §34,.100,000 in round numbers, and at this time would amount to at least §100,000,000. It would thus require, if the mines were made to produce to the full capacity, with the present minting facilities, nearly three years to coin one year's silver product of this country alone."

Two Democrats of the Iroquois Club, Chicago, John P. Hopkins and Seigmund Zeisler, made a 10 to 1 bet the other day as to the unit of value. The latter affirmed that under the statute of 1792 both gold and silver were made units of value. The former denied the

proposition and offered to bet 830 to SI that Zeisler w^s wrong. They agreed to submit the question to Judge Vincent, another Democrat, but a gentleman of high character. The Judge has just rendered his decision and bases it upon Hamilton's celebrated report and theicomments of Jefferson in which he concurred with Hamilton "in thinking that the unit must stand on both metals." He therefore decided in favor of Zeisler. Notwithstanding this decision the war among the Iroquois braves still goes on and bids fair to split the Democracy of Illinois in twain.

SOUTH BEND Tribune: The effort which the Republican party of Indiana is making to destroy the damaging competition of convict labor with the free and honest workingman should result in, if possible, a solution of this most difficult problem. Senator Holler is chairman of the committee appointed by the late general assembly to investigate the question and under his championship tangible results are anticipated. The subject is recognized as one of a most complicated character, but there is a solution and this the commission proposes to discover if possible. It is monstrously wrong that the cheap labor of the prisons should be permitted to compete with the free labor of the State just as it is wrong that foreign cheap labor should be allowed to compete with the better paid workingmen of the United States. If the commission shall succeed in solving or even approaching a solution of this vexed topic, it will have performed a great service to the workingmen.

WON'T BUY BRITISH GOODS.

Central American Republics Talk of IJoycotting: John Ifull. MANAGUA, Nicaragua, via Galveston, Tex., May 9.—There is uo lunger any doubt that Great Britain will receive her smart money oil time. The £15,000 sterling to be paid by Nicaragua, to Great Britain lias been raised here Inpopular donations. 'l'lie raising of ,ie money, however, has only increased popular feeling in Nicaragua against Great Britain and the feeling is now very bitter indeed, more so, if possible, than when the British landed at Corinto. The general opinion seems to be that the Central American republics will form a combination, possibly secret, against Great Britain and that everything possible will be done to exclude

British goods from Central America. This feeling will probably result in commercial gain to the United States.

A CLOSE CALL.

Almost a Holocaust in a Baltimore Sweatshop.

A QUANTITY OF GASOLINE EXPLODES.

81x of the lnmatea Burned So liartly That They May Die—Would Probably Have Been Roasted Alive But for a Heroic Negro.

BALTIMORE, Md., May 9.—Six persons were probably fatally burned by the explosion of a gasoline stove and the fire which followed, in a sweat-shop at 1424 East Pratt street, Wednesday evening. The explosion occurred in the third story of the building and the burning fluid flew in all directions, igniting the clothing of the inmates and the garments upon which they were at work.

Heroic Work of a Negro.

But for the heroic conduct of a,colored teamster—Samuel Morris—who heard the frenzied appeals for help, five of the unfortunates would not have been taken alive from the garret. Morris rushed upstairs and found the door of the shop securely locked. He reached the veranda in front of the second-story windows and called to the panic-stricken inmates of the third story to jump. One woman had already leaped from the third story to the street, her clothing in flames. She was miraculously saved from instant death by Tom McGuigan, whose outstretched arms broke her fall. Morris caught two others in his arms, smothered the flames in which they were enveloped and carried them to the sidewalk. He then ran upstairs again, kicked open the door and hauled out the prostrate forms of two men and a woman. The injured persons were quickly removed to the Baltimore University hospital. The victims were all alive at a late hour, but Dr. Giering Baid he did not expect any of them to recover. Around the hospital crowds of the friends of the injured were assembled all the evening inquiring anxiously after the condition of each. The injured are:

The Victims.
