This issue alight he appropriately termed our '"Educational Edition" judging l'roni the space given to the reports of Teachers' and Directors' meetings, Commencement Notices, etc. and should he read with much interest, and will he, by all people with the proper interest for this work. Too much cannot he said on the subject of schools nor can too much effort he manifested by anyone for the advancement of educational ad vantages for those upon whose shoulders will rest the future suc cess and progress of our county, and the country generally. The citizens of Sullivan county can well he proud of the results of past work done by County Superin tendents and the able corps of in structors. And one fact noticeable is that the interest and good work is going on more rapidly each year and with more assistance from the citizens at large. With these conditions as an omen we feel perfectly free in predicting that our county will some flay be classed among the best in the coun try as well as the state which, con sidering the facilities and various advantages some other sections have, should be sufficient compen sation to the school* workers for their exertions. LaPorte High School Com mencement. The commencement exercises of the LaPorte High School will he held in the school auditorium on Tuesday evening May 10, at 8:00 o'clock. A very interesting pro gram has been arranged. Att'y E. J. Mullen will give the com mencement address. An essay will be read by Miss Marjorie Mason and an oration given by George P. Geiger, the graduates. The St. Francis Orchestra of Mildred con sisting of fifteen pieces will furnish music. Admission free. The Amount of Money in The United States, and The Different Kinds. Variety is said to 1H» the spice of life. We have a variety of money in our country, and it is all good. The question is wether we have too much of a good thing. The amount of money actually needed in a coun try depends on the number of the inhabitants, the amount of traffic with each other, and the rapidity with which it passes from hand to hand in the payment of debts, and and purchases of property. We might also say it depended in a measure on the proportion of people who mostly use bank checks in the transaction of business. The total amount of money of all kinds in circulation in the United States, or held as a reserve in the banks for depositors, on November Ist 100!) was as follows: Gold coin. $(i(H,000,000 Gold certificates, 874,050,800 Silver coin. 204,000.000 Silver certificates, 487,587,000 Legal tender notes, .'540,000,000 U. S. notcs( 1X510), 4,000,000 National Hank notes. 000,000,000 Total §3,1X3,243,80!) If we estimate the population of the United States at 88 millions, the amount of money per capita for each inhabitant would be §30.17. In 1880 the per capita was $15).41; In 15(00 the per capita was $20.04.' It will be seen we have almost (81<>) more for each inhabitant than we had in 19,00) but our currency is not badly inflated. The country is in a prosperous condition. The manufacturing establishments are working on full time. The laborers are generally employed. Com merce is active, and sales good. Crop prospects are fair, and the car wheels are turning. What is desir able is to stop the upward tendency of prices and secure greater sta bility. So far-as currency expan sion is concerned, there are two ways by which the upward tend ency of prices can be arrested. The one is to stop tlie coinage of gold, as the coinage of silver was stopped, or to redeem a certain proportion of the silver certificates with gold, and destroy them, leaving the silver coin in the treasury vaults where it now lies sleeping, until increased population rendered its employ ment as" money necessary. It may be said that redemption of silver certificates with reserve gold from the treasury would put that gold afloat, and not lessen the amount of money in circulation, ll would in a small degree, as gold and silver coin, (on account of greater weight,) never circulate so freely as paper money. We do not want contraction of the currency, we want to stop inflation. CASTKI.AK. MVNCY VALLEY. Wm. Parmeter and Chas. Mc- Carty of Eagles Mere transacted business in this place Saturday.

Washington, May 2.—Corporation tax receipts for this year are going to prove a disappointment to the Treas uiy. The estimate now is, that the} will roach $22,000,000 as against $25,- 000,000 thought probable by Secretary MacVeagli in December and much larger amounts by officials huving the collection of the tax in charge. Tin minimum estimato is based on the character of returns on which assess ments aro now being mado; it may be Increased somewhat, but not likely to any material extent.
