Suggestions are being made for a successor to Judge Joseph H. Earle, ,brof gentlemen have General Assembly would be doing a very graceful act should they bestow this great honor upon Hon. John E.

SILVER IN ITS RELATION TO GOLD AND SILVER IN RE LATION TO COMMOD ITIES. BY A. J. wARNER. I see from the letter of my friend, Mr. Peet, in the Record of Sept. 4th, that in a reply to a previous commu nication from him to the Record, I - failed to make myself clearly under stood. In that reply I said; in silver using countries, prices had not ma terially changdd; that in those coun tries silver had not gone down rela tively to commodities, nor had com modities risen relatively to silver; that to them gold had risen. Of course, if prices in their money have not gone up, silver, which is their money, has not fallen. It does not, however, follow from this that silver and gold bullion have not relatively changed in value. They may both also have varied in value in some -countries as compared, with commod ities; bat silver has ira fact varied but slightly, if at all, gold greatly. Even in gold standard countries, sil ver has fallen little if any below com modities generally. Tables of prices show that an ounce of silver bullion will exchange for about as much, and in some cases for more, of products generally, than it would twenty years ago. The i'xe or fall of gold or of silver relatively to each other, there fore, is one thing, and the rise and fall of general prices: that is, the re lation of either or both metals to commodities generally is quite an other thing. The value of the metals varies di rectly as the supply of and demand fox thenm vary; while general prices vary only as the volume of money in a country varies; or, more accurately, perhaps, as the relation of money volume to population and wealth va ies. In the one case demand acts directly upon the metals from which iew money is derived; in the other .t is upon the whole volume ot mon av. A change in the cost of gold or dilver bullion, therefore, affects prices onlv as this change affects the money volume of a country. For illustra ion, the price of commodities did not go up and down on Black Fridiay "is gold rose and fell. Wheu He Shermlan Silver Law was passed (w.ilh the exception of a few things which were more directly affected) prices did not suddenly go up in this coun try and down in Iudia. Why? Be cause the volume of money was not at once changed. Again, whin the mints of Iudia were closed in 1893, silver fell in the London market from :s 3-4 pence to '30 1-4 pence, or 27 1-2 per cent, in 5 days; but that did not affect perceptibly general prices anywhere. Indeed, it may be stated as a general law, that the cost of obtaining new money, affects gen eral prices in any country only as it affects the volume of money in that country. When the placer mines of California were discovered, new gold was obtained very cheaply; but that affected the value of the total stock of gold or of prices generally, only as it increased the iotal supply of mon ev. So now, the low price (cost) of silver bullion to the silver-using countries, affects the value of their stock of silver money oI as it tends to increase their volume of money. The cheaper silver bullion is the less it takes of their commodities to get additional money; but it is only as this conditions affects that their total supply that general prices in such countries are affected. Or, generally stated: The cost of obtaining new money chauges the value of existing money, only as it operates to increase or decrea-e the volume. The elevation from which water pours into a reservoir does not de termine the ratpidity of the rise of tlie surface of the water in the reservoir. That depeuds ou the size of the res ervoir and the volume of the water poured into it; and if there is mut-h new space to be filled, the riie will be correspoudingly slow. So, if netW enterprises take up much of the in crease of money, the rise of prices may be slow, even though the money vollume may be- increasing. As a corollary to these principles, if silver is restored to free coinage in the United States, and the old re lation $1.29 an ounce in gold restored, the value of silver money as ex pressed in commodities, in silver using countries, will not be thereby affected, except as it may tend to restrict their supply of new woney. The exchanges will be immediately affected; they will have to give more in commodities to get silver from other countries, but internal prices will only be affected as their total money volume is thereby affteted. .If the remonetization of silver in the United States, by virtually mak ing Mexican silver dollars again legal tender through our mints (as they were down to 1857) results in sucb exportation of silver dollars from Mexico as to materially reduce the will it affect general prices here. The notion, therefore so persistenk ly maintained by the New York emn and other gold papers, th under free coinage, prices in zus country will rise and fall withi e rise of sil ver bullion indtie'London market, is iot only miitrary to the most funda Tnental law of money, but is absurd on its face.

MAN OIL, ANT SPIRITS AND OTHER CURIOUS THINGS USED. rhose Who Use Thcm Firmly Believe In Their Virtues-Drug Clerks Supply the Deleman by Giving Usr:nless Substitutes and Charging Fancy Prices. "Aye want dees filled wit' man oil." With this the speaker, a rawboned, stolid looking Swede, handed a dirty, two ounce vial across the counter of a Division street drug store to the clerk. Without saying a word or moving a muscle to indicate astonishment at this singular reqtest the clerk took the vial and disappeared behind the prescription case. In a moment lie reappeared, and, handing the vial back, remarked in an indifferent tone: "Ninety cents." Being asked to tell something about the traffic in the fat of human beings the clerk grinned. "I gave the fellow two ounces of sim ple cerate and charged a fancy price to impress him with the genuineness of the 'man fat,' " said be. "I see no harm in tha deception. The fellow has unbound ed faith in the virtues of man oil, and he wouldn't be happy until be believed he had some. If I didn't sell him some, he would find a druggist who would. The simple cerate will do him just as much good as man oil. We often have calls for temedies as absurd as this. We always fill them-out of the simple cerate bot tle if it be an oil, or some other harm less drug if it be something else." Investigation disclosed the fact that the various portions of the city have their pe'culiarities in beliefs as to the efficacy of various unusual remedies. In the Swedish settlements man oil is believed tQ have marvelous virtues in aches and p ins when applied externally. Over in the stockyards region and in the south west portion of the city dog's grease is held in high repute as a specific for con ui'ption. The men in charge at the dog pound declare a great many of the dogs that come to an untimely end in the death chamber there are converted into a superior article of cod liver oil for the use of consumptives. They declare that a number of "doctors" regularly visit the pound and select nice, fat dogs, which are slaughtered by the attendants, to be rendered into oil for the alleged physicians' patients. Not only this. but the patients themselves often send rela tives or friends to the pound to get dogs for this purpose. Usually the attendants kill and dress the dogs, receiving a small fee for their trouble. Sometimes the dogs are taken away to be killed. One dealer said be usually got from half a gallon to a gallon of oil from a dog; that the grease resembled lard oil in ap pearance; that the oil had no disagree able odor if the dog was young; that the dose was a tablespoonful three times a day. An interesting feature brought out was that after a person had once used dog's grease other remedies would have no effect whatever on him. Out on Milwaukee avenue rainworm oil and ant spirits are held in high re pute. The druggists have frequent calls for these remedies and they always fill the prescriptions, the former out of the olive oil bottle and the latter with alcohol slightly colored. The Germans believe both remedies are valuable for external use for all sorts of aches and pains, in Iparts or alcohol. Tihe ingredients are to be rubbed in a mortar and left to stand for two days. The resulting colorless liqid is then ready for use for rheuma tsm, par'a-1 is and the like. Snake oil egularly quoted in some drug price lists. W rl~ W huh at Cairo, Ills., is engaged in its mnanu facture. John Jones of Phenix, A. T., devotes his entire time to the manufac ture of rattlesnake oil, for which he gets $4 a pound, the purchaser to pay express charges. Snake oil is reputed to be valuable for rheumatism. He comes to the city occasionally to work up trade. Skunk oil is in considerable demand, also for rheumatism. The skunk oil is obtained from the sk-unk farms, where the animals are bred for their skins. Belief in these remedies is often found among American born people. In all parts of the city there is a good trade in "love powders," the pur chasers usually being of the servant girl class. "When a girl comes in after 'love powders,' " said a drug clerk on North State street who often has occasion to fill such orders, "I give her a little sug ar of milk, which is absolutely innocu ous, if she wants it for herself, and tell her to take two doses a day. If she wants it for her 'fellow,' she usually asks for the magic drug in the shape of candy. In that case I give her some worm lozenges. The drugs must give satisfaction, for the orders are fre quently refilled. "-Chicago Tribune. IF TROUBLED WITH RHEUMATISM READ THIS.

Lu Eaglishwa Finds ts Canals and DiD tances Not at All Entrancing. An Englishman who has seen Venice )ut to be disillusionized writes of his mpressions to The Westminster Budget is follows: "Here is a description of what these canals are, taken from my liary, and it is literally truthfuJ, which the poets and the painters never are. On either side staggers a crowd of de ayed buildings; from the roof down ward they are a mass of squalid ruin; broken balconies cling to the stained and discolored walls, great scabs of plaster have fallen from their fronts as if a leprosy had eaten into them; for a foot above the water the walls are black with slime, the broken windows are stuffed with rags or paper, the shattered steps lead up to doors that swing by one hinge; the steps themselves are slippery with a greasy scum; to the edge of the lower stair there is a fringe of foul green weed-it swings slowly in the crawling water; the iron grilles, once so beautiful, are eaten by bitter salt rust, the shutters hang at all angles, flapping and creaking in the wind; in the crazy balconies there is a lumber of broken flowerpots vith dead flowers in them, and throuah all these reeking alleys the greenish gray water slowly pulses and oozes, covered with straw, eggshells, cabbage stalks and nameless refuse. Over all this brood a hundred filthy and ob scene smells, each canal contributing a particularly putrid stench of its own. No longer does Venice sit in state; hour by hour and stone by stone she is sink ing into her dishonored grave. "Night in Venice and music on the canal-that surely would have its old charm. I had pictured the soft air, pulsing with sweet voices, and over all a sky "thick inlaid with patines of bright gold." Well, every night about 8 the singing certainly began, guitars tinkled, and now and then one heard a fairly good tenor voice, but as a rule the men's voices were harsh and worn, and the women's indescribably shrill, and the songs they sang were Verdi and Bellini at their worst-'Ah, Che ]a Morte,' and its companion absurdities. And when once they began they kept on; no sooner had one boatload of singers exhausted its repertory than another took up its place and repeated the same songs with the same quaverings and tinklings." Why He Gave the Good Cigar Away. "Will you have a cigar?" asked one man cf another, carefully selecting one of three which he drew from his waist I coat pocket. He handed this one to his friend. The other man smiled and said: "I suppose this is the kind you buy to give away." "You might think so, but it isn't," rejoined the one who had given the ci gar. "As a matter of fact, the one I gave you is much the best of the lot. I always give away the cigars of that brand which I receive. It's not because they are bad, but because they are good. This is how it is: For several years I have been buying my cigars of a dealer in Nassau street. I always get a kind which costs $10 a hundred. I am not overfond of the brand, but it is the best that I can get for the money, and I feel that I cannot afford to pay more for my cigars. "For some time the dealer has beei very anxious to get me to smoke a cigar that costs $16 a hundred. He assures me that the difference betwveen it: and the one or tne io cent KIma to smo.ti, assur ing ne that if I will only try it I will buy no other. The truth is, I fear he is right, so I have resolutely resisted the temptation to smoke the gift cigars. In stead, I hand them to some friend. That is one of them. Do yen believe now that I gave you the worst?" The frieisa.np. further reason for doubting that the cigar which hie had re ceived was the best of the'Tt-New York Tribune. The March of the Bicycle. The bicycle has come, and, although the predominance of the horse in sport is not destroyed, it is no longer undis puted. Not like that other, that with such sulphurous manifestations tumbled the knight from his steed, this modern machine, in quiet and orderly manner as becomes the present, is tumbling his modern counterpart from hunter and from hack. Gradually it has been grow ing in favor, and now it is bearing all before it. There is no dignity too great to be borne by the nimble wheel, and coquetry has been sacrificed for its sake. Every one rides, and it is singular that the most bigoted horseman often falls the most abject victim and is found practicing upon the sinoothly running innvation-sometimes, it is true, on the sly. A writer says in speaking of the "retreat" of the power holding classes: "The effect produced on certain individuals is such that, instead of sid ing with the class to which by tradition and individual interest they undoubted ly belong, they take their place in the ranks of the oonents.
