THE RATIO.
When one ounce of pure silver sells on
Ihe market as it now does, for 83 cents,
$1 will buy 578.31337 grains of silver,
and since there are 23 2 giaios of gold
in a dollar, the current ratio of value is
578.81337-:-23.2, which is 24.927. The
coinago ratio is 10 to 3, and still the two
kinds of coin remain at a parity, while
the market value ratio is 24.927 to 1.
Tlie question about which the two sides
differ on the silver question is: Would
the parity still continue if coinage was
made free at a ratio of 16 to 1 ? If
the answer is yes, then why would it not
also do the same nt a ratio of 10 or 5
to 1.

The net gold in the treasury January

total debt is $963,808,03 3.63. The
total amount of cash in the treasury Jan¬
uary 31, was $772,881,229.57. There
was a decrease in cash in the treasury
during the month of about $3,000,000,
making tbe net cash about $26,000,000
aaainst $29,000,000 This nn tbp. fir at nf Jaai 1 -

A NEW POPULIST SENATOR.
William Vincent Allen is one of the
strongest men in tho populists’ ranks in
the west, His antecedents are old time
abolitionists. Until two years ago he
was in perfect harmony with the rank
and file of the republican party. He
was frequently a member of the state
conventions, with but was always identified
the anti-monopoly wing. He is a
prominent Grand Army of the Republic
man and has held the office of senior vice
commander. He was born January 28,
1847, at Midway, Madison county, Ohio,
and was a son of a Methodist minister
who died when he was about ten months
old, leaving the family in moderate cir¬
cumstances. He was educated in the com¬
mon schools, and when about 14 years
r>ld-»ttendtd a few terms of tho Upper
Iowa university at West Union,la. When
not quite fourteea he enlisted in the
Fourteenth Iowa, hut was rejected on ac¬
count of his age and sent home from
'Davenport. In 1862 he again enlisted in
Company served ti. Thirty-second Iowa, and
participating as a private uutil the close of the
war, in something line
twenty battles and skirmishes. When
he returned he read law at West Union
and was admitted to practice in May,
1869. In the fall of 1891 he was elected
judge of the ninth district of Nebraska
tiy populist votes, though prior to that
he never acted with them. He is six
feet three inches tall and weighs 250
pounds, it n fine-looking man,and readily
makes friends wherever he goes.— Chi

OPPOSED TO FUSION.
The Progressive People, Birmingham,
Ala., takes a bold stand against the
policy of fusion as follows:
“A number of Populist journals are
warning the People’s party against fusion,
and reminding it that fusion with the
Democracy was what killed the Green¬
back party. They camiot put the lesson
too strong. Fusion is fatal to any new
party; always was and always will be.
Beside*, the Democratic party has no
more intention of giving the people good,
wholesome laws, than the Republican
party has. The Populists arc not after
mere success in counting in their candi¬
dates. They are demanding a set of
reforms and nothing less than these
will satisfy them. They did not fuse in
Colorado, and the silver Democrats who
so ably assisted them, and without whose
support merely they must have failed, were
They Poputis s of a milder variety.
fused in Minnesota and lost tho
day, though popular sentiment is very
strong in that State. Populists should
set their table with a straight clean,
Populist bill of fare; then if the honest
men of any other party want to come to
i’, well and good. And they will be far
more apt to c< me than they would if the
table were set with a mixed men. The
Populist cause is right and is growing.
It cannot afford to drown itself iu tho
muddy wateu of fusion, no matter what
parly inks it. It must keep in the mid
die of ihe mad. And right here we want
to say that the latch string hang* out for
any good soul who wau'a tu count iuto
thu Pnpu’ltC camp and be politically

WHO OWNS THE UNITED STATES?
number In spite of the rapid increase in the
of millionaires iu the Uuited
States iu recent years, the popular no¬
tion is that wealth is yet very much more
evenly distributed in this country than
in Eng’and. Tlios. G. Shearman, the
well-known New York statistician, has
been engaged for some time in collecting
facts to show as precisely as possible the
proportion of the wealth of the country
held by a few rich men and families, and
lie finds a greater concentration of wealth
hero than in any other country. The
result of his investigation ap¬
peared in the Forum. Mr.
Shearman makes au euumoration of
owners of more than $20,000,000
each, comprising seventy names which
represent 000,000, an aggregate wealth of $?,?00,
an average of more than $37,-
500,000 each. Although Mr. Shearman,
in making this estimate, did not look for
lees than twenty millionaires, he discov¬
ered incidentally fifty others worth more
than $10,000,000 each; and he s«ys that
a list of ten persons cau be made whose
wealth averages $100,000,000 each, and
another list of one hundred persons
whose wealth averages $35,000,000. No
such list can be made up in any other
country. “The richest dukes of Eng¬
land,” he says, “fall below the average
wealth of a dt zen of American citizens,
while the greatest bankeis, merchants
and railway magnates of England cannot
compare in wcaiiii with many Ameri¬
cans.”
The average annual income of the
richest 100 Englishmen is about $450,000,
but the average annual income of the
richest 100 Americans cannot be less than
$1,200,000, and probably exceeds $1,-
500,000. The richest of the Rothschilds
and tbe world-renowned banker, Baron
Earl Overstone, Dudley, each left about $17,000,000.
the owner of the richest
iron mines, left $20,000,000. The Duke
of Buccleuch (and the Buccleuch carries
half ot Scotland in his pocket) left about
$30,000,000. The Maiquis of Bute was
worth in 1872 about $28,000,000 in land,
and he may now be worth $40,000,000
in all. The Duke of Norfolk may be
worth $40,000,000, and the Duke ol
Westminster perhaps $60,000,000.
Mr. Sherman’s couclusion is that 25,
COO,000 persons owu one half the
wealth of the United States, and that
the country is practically owned by 250,
000 persons, or oue in sixty of the adult
male population, and he predicts from
the (hat rapid recent concentration of wealth,
under present conditions 50,000
persons will practically own all the
wealth of the country in thirty yenus—
or less than one in 500 of the adult malt
population. —National Baptist.

Cnred of a Broken Ilae'k.
Drs. James and Thomas McCann, of
Pittsburg, are about ready to report to
the medical fraternity the case of John
Mulligan, who was cured ol a broken
back. In October, 1888, Mulligan re¬
ceived a fracture of the vertebrae, and,
as usual with such cases, was paralyzed
from the loins down.
Eight days after Mulligan’s entrance
to the hospital the physicians, iu the
presence of seventy-five students of the
West Pennsylvania Medical College,
made an incision eight inches long in
the man’s back. The vertebra- were ex¬
posed. A fracture of the arches of the
tenth and eleventh vertebral was found.
Fragments of bone were pressing on the
spinal cord. This pressure was relieved.
Two months later Mulligan could move
his right leg.
ln ten months the patient walked out
of the Hospital. He is now at work.
The report of the operation was kept
secret until it was proved a perfect suc¬
cess.—New York Mail and Express.

The Old l.ead Grants
Secretary of State Phil Cook is being
entertained right much recently with
letters from old soldiers who fought in
the Indian wars, asking about the condi
Rons upon which the pensions are
given out to such veterans The
htw that passed congress at the
gressman Oharlea Moses. It became a law
andis now in full force and effec .
Eight allowed dollars per month is the amount
the veterans of the Indian wars
by the government. The pension is given
to any old soldier who can establish
his claim. It wfll be remembered that
the United States never allowed these
old warriors any pensions further than
the land grants given a longtime ago for
their service in those wars. There are
many old men in the state of Georgia
who fought in the wars with tbe Indians
and they are coming to the front for
their pensions. The old land grants are
the evidence in these cases and there is
much trouble in finding a complete rec
ord of the grants which were made so
long ago.

Every the officer of every military company

of tbe state, has prepared the scheme of
the examination to which he will put alt
the state officers in all of the companies,
and in which they will have to show
that they are capable of attending to the
duties of their positions. It will be a
matter of much interest to the officers
and to the members of every company in
the state for the reason that it will cause
them to turn their attention to the little
nice points of the new tactics with more
diligence than they have yet done, per¬
haps. Lieutenant Satterlee has a list of
questions for the majors, another for the
colonels, another for the captains, an¬
other for the lieutenants and one for the
other officers on down the ranks. He
will send these out in the near future and
will have all the officers of the companies
that go to make up the state volunteer
soldiery stand the examination and re¬
port as to their proficiency on the ques
lions that have been put to them in the

wa loa ’ whlcil wi U kee P fresh much
• l° n g er than any ordinary . bread,
For four regular sized loaves of bread
take about eight or ten large potatoes,
peel them very carefully so as to leave
spots or eyes, put them in water sufficient
to cover them, with a little salt and boil
them until they begin to break up. Then
with a potato-masher crush them, water
and all, as fine as possible. They should
then be passed thtough a sieve and
added to a sponge which has meanwhile
been rising. Mix this potato pulp and
the bread dough thoroughly, set aside
to rise for a short time, theu mold and
put in pans.
The flavor, fineness of grain aud
general quality of bread are greatly im¬
proved by this addition, and while it in¬
volves quite a little additional work, it
is work that pays very well. The bread
will remain fresh much longer and not a
crumb need be wasted.
It must be borne in mind, however,
that it is much more likely to mold, if
exposed to dampness, after the addition
of potato, and must be carefully watched,
as even the slightest symptom of mold
in potato bread makes it unfit to eat.—

The Arctic Highlanders. ■w
The Arctic Highlanders are, from their
•nvironment, a nomadic race. They
rarel? have their summer abiding place
where their winter settlements are, and
the dwellings for the two seasons are of
entirely different character. Their winter
huts, or igloos, are of two kinds of con
etruction. Those for temporary use
while traveling are built of snow or ice.
Those for permanent use are located
where the fierce northwest winds are
tempered by great cliffs, and are built of
stone; an entrance to each is had through
a leng, low tunnel, and both are covered
by turf. The interiors are about si*
feet square and high, and lined with
skins, with the fur outward. One-half
the interior is taken up by a platform on
which the family sleep and sit, and the
other halt is used as a receptacle for all
kinds of filth and refuse. In these con¬
stricted quarters five, six and sometime?
more Eskimos swelter in a terri6c heat
from a small oil lamp, and enjoy them¬
selves during the long arctic night,
which lasts from the first week in No¬
vember to the middle of February. Thin
enjoyment consists in eating, sleeping
and visiting.
As scon as the spring thaws begiu, the
roofs of the stone igioos are taken off to
allow the elements to cleanse the inter¬
iors, and the occupants betake themselves
to tuples, or skin tents, set up perhaps
miles from their winter habitation?.
These tupics arc made of sealskin with
the fur all scraped off, and al! are made
exactly alike, and of the same number
of pieces. The interiors are fitted up
the same as the igloos ami are nearly as
filthy. Indeed, filth and vermin seem a
necessary accompaniment of the Eskimos.
Water for washing purposes they detest
with great heartiness. I belive a cat
could be persuaded to submit to a wash¬
ing more readily than an Arctic High¬
lander. Only a bribe of uncommon value
will tempt one to undertake a bath. 1
tried the experiment on a wornau at
“Red Cliff House,” Mr. Peary’s winter
quarters on one occasion, and it was
only when I offered a thimble that the
protesting and almost tearful creature
consented. Crawling slowly to a near
by stream she dipped one hand in the
water and hurriedly rubbed it on her
face from her eyes to her chin, and then
scrambled back to the house as fast as
her feet could carry her, where she
wiped the objectionable liquid off on a
towel belonging to one of Mr. Peary’s
companions, and demanded her reward.
Her face looked a little brighter, but the
accumulated dirt of years still remained
on and behind her ears,—New York In¬

Fireballs Save Coal.
The use of rirebails ss^j./one-thi.-d
eatl ' M i fr i wsa asifr
from the laborer's cottage to the lodg¬
ings of thrifty gentlewomen in Bath and
Cheltenham. Made of one-third coal
dust, two-thirds sand and beaten clay,
molded with water into tails the size of
a goose egg and dried, they are perma¬
nent fuel. When the coal fire is hot and
red a dozen of these balls put into the
furnace will become red-hot and stay so,
like red-hot brick, keeping up the beat
far longer than coal without them.
There is nothing like them for keeping
the hou c e warm at night, and half a
dozen put red-hot into a brazier or porta¬
ble furnace would take the chill off bed¬
rooms very comfortably. When room*
are heated by stoves economy lies in
never letting the fire go down in cold
weather, as it takes more heat to warm
the looms when the walls are chilled
than it does to keep them so for days.
