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. DEBT STATEMENT. The net gold in the treasury January 31, as shown by the debt statement is¬ sued, was $108,181,713, the lowest figure reached in mnuy years.

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 - ary 1893, decrease is accounted for largely by the fact that $7,259,000 was paid during the month on the in¬ terest account. 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 isgo Tribune. 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 *hved.” MOU'luAUK INOKIUKllMS* 'Ihe extra tentus bulletin d e* not m«k« quite a*.hud t allowing for the Di* trlei ol Columbia a* for Mnuaehuietlv, STATESBORO.

There are only tin farms in the District under mortgage amounting to 17,300 being .12 per cent, of their value. There are 43,580 hrines in the District. This num her includes the city of Washington. 24 per cent of all the homes, city and coun¬ try, are under mortgage, the total in debtednes being $6,430,374. This is a had showing for the capital city and small territory adjacent, Iowa makes a still worse showing. On 'he farms of the state there are mortgages lo the amount of $101,745,924—about 33 per cent of their value. On the city aud town homes in the state there is a total mortgage indebtedness of $17,766,870, making an average indebtedness on each home of $659. The averaae rate of in¬ terest on the debts in the District of Co¬ lumbia is 6 per cent, per annum; in Iowa the average is 7.36. In Maryland, which is considered one ‘ f the most prosperous states, being with¬ in easy reach of tbe great citiis of the middle Atlantic States, there is a inort ange indebtedness on the farms amount¬ ing to $12,753,827, which is 38 per cent of their value. To this can be added mortgages on tbe homos in Baltimore ag gr< gating $5,488,121, 44 per cent of their value, making a total mortgage imlebt rdnfss of $1S, 241,848. —Progressive Farmer. 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.

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. What a t up of Chocolate Con Do.

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. Will be Exaiulucil. Every the officer of every military company in slate will have to stand an exam¬ ination pretty soon. Lieutenant Satter lee, who is the assistant adjutant general 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 Werin question. * * * village Farms.

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.— New York Ledger. core for scalds and burns. ... So accident ., . frequently , , . ' occurs more in most families than that of scalding or burning. For an accident of this kind s g°od reliable domestic remedy is needed, that may be used immediately before a physician arrives. This remedy I have found in so simple a preparation as alum curd. To make it, take a gill or more of sweet milk, put it in a tin vessel and place it on the stove to warm. Add to the m 'XRlMmpSl ilk a lump of alttm the ih l krg v ffV ' ing to quantity of milk.

For all the numerous little burns frequently oc curing in a family of children, the alum curd is a panacea, giving immediate comfort. As compared with carron oil, collodion, soda, starch-paste, flour-batter and many other salves, ointments and liniments used as dressings for burns throughout the country, the alum curd >s by Jar the best remedy.

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¬ dependent. 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. —Chicago Herald. _ JOB DEPARTMENT BLANK NOTES, RECEIPTS, DEEDS, MORTGAGES, JUSTICE COURT PROCESSES, BILL HEADS.
