"It's queer to me," said a healthy
looking' citizen, "that more people don't
take the air cure. There's nothing like
a breath of fresh air; it is delightful
and refreshing, renovating and renew
ing, uplifting and invigorating, stimu
lating and exalting, and without any
depression, and all this is absolutely
free. There are far more people now
than ever before in this country that
go in for outdoor sports, for bicycling
and all that sort of thing, and so get
the fresh air; but there are many left
who do not give themselves the ben
efit of it as they might. It isn't neces
sary for a man to have a bicycle or a
horse or a steam yacht to enable him
to take the air cure; such helps, of
course, might make it easier to take,
but they are not essential. It can be
taken effectively walking; and there's
nothing like it. Air might not heal a
broken leg, but for many ills of mind
and body it will be found a sovereign
remedy."
A curious story comes from Chicago.
Fear of social degradation keeps many
a millionaire of that city from ac
knowledging the fact that he uses oleo
margarine in lieu of pure butter, ac
cording to William Broad well, a wit
ness before the pure food investigation
committee. "It is the strangest kind of
a game, your honor," the witness said
to Senator Mason, "this deception that
is going on simply because a man is too
proud to let his friends know that he is
using anything that is not the real arti
cle. It would surprise you if you could
learn of the millionaires that come into
my store every day and carry home
their little package of oleomargarine,
and then palm it off on their swell
friends as real butter."
The 50,000 silver dollars which con

United States (about 40 words), and on
the other probably the faces of Wash
ington and Lafayette, and perhaps
ihose of Lincoln and Grant also. Pres
ident McK'suley was invited to appear
on the coin with his four eminent
predecessors, but resolutely declined.

AN EXPANSION STORY.
ti"OHtli nnd I'reicremi of Thin Coun
try Inder the Ex|iaii»iun
Sj Htem.
There are intimations that perhaps
the high estimates of the population of
the United States which have been re
cently made may not be quite realized
next year. It is well, of course, not to
place too much reliance 011 the exuber
ant predictions made in recent years,
yet if the lowest figures at which any
body put the population in 1000 be re
alized the country will show a growth
not approached anywhere else in the
case of any great nation on the globe.
According to current estimates of the
treasury officials, made as a basis of
their computations of the per capita
circulation of the country, the popula
tion in 1000 will be about 78,000,000 out
side of the territorial accessions made
in the past year. But even if the 75,-
000,000 mark be reached, and the most
conservative of prophets put the total
up to that line, the expansion will have
been totally unexampled in the case of
a very great nation in the world's his
tory. When Benjamin Franklin sur
prised the people of England a century
and a quarter ago by his prediction that
his country, still a dependency of (ireat
Britain, would double in inhabitants ev
ery quarter of a century, lie made a
prophecy whose truth time has vindi
cated with marvelous fidelity, for the
13 colonies had then only about 2,000,000
people.
In another particular the story of ex
pansion has been equally surprising.
By the computation oft he director of the
mint the United States produced $05,-
782,677 of gold in the calendar year 1898.
When the country's gold output started
downward about 40 years ago, after the
first great spurt in California's produc
tion had ended, nobody supposed that
the high figures of that time would ever
In* closely approached again. The high
water mark in gold production was
reached in 1853, when the output was
$C5,000,000. All this was the yield of
California. None, of the ot her states or
territoriesat that time produced enough
gold to get into the statistics. After
ward, v\ith some fluctuations, the tend
ency was steadily downward until the
period from to I»9£, when the
country's gold output ranged beiween
$30,000,000 and $33,000,000. Since that
time the production has grown by great
leaps, and in IS9S, as already mentioned,
it was close to the $60,000,000 line, or in
excess of the great yield of 1-5;;, when
the mines of California were at their
most productive stage.
Here is a story of American expan
sion—the increase in population and
the growth in gold output—which jus
tifies the most hopeful predictions
which were made in the past, and in
rite still more sanguine forecasts for
the future. The tendency, of course,
in a nation as it grows older is to grow
slower in population, and this circum
stance has really begun to be noticed
in the United States. Nevertheless, this
country's increase in population will be
one of the marvels of the nineteenth
century. But in the production of gold
its growth promises to be much larger
than it has been in inhabitants. The
output of the gold mines was more than
double as great in 1808 as it was six
years earlier, in 1802. The production
in the present year is likely 1o be be
tween $73,000,000 anil $75,000,000. Nor
is the advance in gold production con
fined to the United States. Some of
the other gold fields have now passed
this country, but whether they will
maintain their lead in the face of our
steady increase is doubtful, in IhOO
the world's production of gold was
$1j0,000,000. In ]yjS it was about $;.'75,-
000,000. In 1000, according to the esti
mate of the director of the mint, it will
be $100,000,000. The influence of the
gold fields of California and Australia
a little over a third of a century ago in
the development of the great nations
is well remembered. We are entering
into another golden age in the world's
business and social advancement, and
the United States, on the whole, has
been the largest contributor to and w ill
be the most conspicuous beneficiary of
this record of expansion and progress.

THE TRUST ISSUE.
Will llnrilly Flffiire n* n Feature
111 Hit* Coining Xnlloiial
Ca miniien.
Many states, without distinction as
to the party controlling' the legislature,
have made the past few months mem
orable for their attempts to destroy or
regulate trusts. There seems to have
been a common concurrence in the view,
especially • since Attorney-General
Griggs pointed out ihe misapprehen
sions as to the force and effect of the
federal laws relating to trusts, that any
attack upon the great industrial mo
nopolies must have state initiative.
The federal courts, tinder a decision of
ISO 4, cannot suppress a combination or
monopoly for manufacturing a neces
sary of life. The government prose
cutes unlawful combinations affecting
interstate commerce, but many of the
trusts do not come under this head.
"If amenable to any law," says the at
torney-general, "they are amenable to
the laws of the respective states." Con
sequently the states have been doing
what they could to get at the trusts,
and some of them have gone very far
in punitive legislation. Especially is
this the case in Michigan, where the
republican legislature is ut work try
ing to shut trusts out of the state alto
gether.
If the regulation of trusts is a state
affair and one upon which all parties
are agreed, it is difficult to see how a
national campaign issue can be made
of it. A party might tif_ r ht to plant an
anti-trust clause in the constitution,
but it would have no other party for
an opponent except perhaps an organ
ization of trust capitalists. Certainly
the democracy will not be able to
maneuver the republican party into
such a position. The average repub
lican is quite as much averse as the
average democrat to having his ex
penses Increased to make dividends on
watered stock for conscienceless cor
porations. If there is any doubt on
that point look at his record in the va
rious anti-trust legislatures and in pub
lic expressions of opinion. Mr. liryan
himself is no more vigorous in his op
position to trusts than is Gov. I'ingree
and a score of other republican lead
ers; and if a representative republic
an here and there is tied up with trusts
lie can be matched by a representative
democrat who is in the same fix. The
cupidity that organizes trusts has no
partisan politics any more than the in
stinct of self-preservation lias which re
sists them.
Quite likely some of the drastic laws
passed by states will be adjudicated be
fore the national campaigns begin.
Should they stand the test there will
be no need of any better weapons, and
a national anti-trust campaign will lie
more than ever a sheer waste of time. —

Mr. liryan availed himself of a recent
opportunity offered by a banquet to say
that "at the present time the gold
standard is maintained at the dictation
of foreign financial interests and
against tin' protest of a large majority
of the American people." The only pop
ular protests which have been heard
lately regarding gold are made by peo
ple who find it inconvenient to carry
around even a comparatively small
quantity of gold coin. They are not
protesting against the gold standard.
What they want is gold standard paper,
not always crisp and clean, but always
worth its face in gold coin. Those men
who object to tlie physical use of gold
because it is bulky are of all people the
ones w ho do not want the silver stand
ard, for with that standard they would
have to lug about with them L' l ) silver
dollars as 1 he specie equivalent in value
of an eagle. Evidently Bryan misin
terprets the significance of what he
sees in the papers about protests
against the use of gold. Few Ameri
cans now are objecting honestly to the
gold standard, because the productivity
of the gold mines has knocked the bot
tom out of the yarn that gold was
"scarce." This year's output of gold
will amount to about $340,000,01)0.. Not
over $05,000,000 of that will be used in
the arts. That will leave a surplus of
$275,000,000 for monetary purposes.
This will much more than make good
the wear and tear of existing stocks and
meet the demand for new gold occa
sioned by the increase in trade and com
merce throughout the world.—Chicago
Tribune.

The president does not permit him

could do to avert trouble with that man

Washington, May 30. —President Mt-
Kinhy 011 .Monday issued ttic amend
ments to tin? civil service rules which
I lie has had under consideration lor
I about a year. Jt releases from the
operations of the civil service rules
about 4,000 offices.
The provision covering' the removal
of persons in the classified service is
altered materially in language and as
changed reads as follows:
"No removal shall be made from the
competitive classified service except
for just cause and for reasons given in
writing; and the person sought to lie
removed shall have notice and be fur
nished a copy of such reasons and be
allowed a reasonable time for person
ally answering - the same in writing.
Copy of such reasons, notice and an
swer and of the order of the removal
shall iie made a part of the records of
Uie proper department or ollice, and
(lie reasons for any change in rank or
compensation within the competitive
classified service shall also he made a
part of the records of the proper de
partment or office."
llnle 7 of the act is amended so as to
give to persons honorably discharged
from service in the army or navy of
the I'nited States in the Spanish-
American war, as well as the veterans
in the civil war. preference in the
ma king of appointments. The term
of eligibility, heretofore one year from
the date of the entry of the name of
the eligible candidate on the civil ser
vice commission's register, is extended
for a further period of one year, in the
discretion of the commission. The
following section HOW added lo If tile
8 makes permanent in the discretion
of the heads of departments all ex

"All persons serving under tempo
rary appointments at the date of the
approval of this section may Vie perma
nently appointed, in the discretion of
the proper appointing officer; and the
special rlll >■ approved January 20, lso9,
relative to temporary appointments in
the navy department is hereby re
scinded."
An entirely new rule is added, classi
fying all officers and employes in the
classified service as follows, unless
otherwise provided by law:
Class A, all persons receiving an
annual salary of less than $720 or
compensation at a less rate; B, from
$720 to less than $840; C. SB4O to $000;
1), SOOO to $1,000; E, SI,OOO to $1,200;
Class T. $1,200 to $1,400; two, $1,400 to
$1,600: three, SI,OOO to $1,800; four, sl,-
800 to $2,000; five, $2,000 to $2,500; six,
all at $2,500 or more. This classifi
cation does not include persons ap
pointed to an office with the advice
and consent of the senate, nor mere
laborers or workmen. Hereafter no
person appointed as a laborer or work
man without examination under the
civil service rules shall be assigned to

Washington, May 30.—A1l the volun
teers now in the Philippines, if they
are mustered out at San Francisco,
are to lie invited to mobilize at Min
neapolis and St. Paul. There they
are to be tendered a rousing welcome,
made the more notable by the pres
ence of President McKinley. The,
president has been anxious to meet all
the troops who served in the Philip
pines if this were practicable and he
agreed togo to Minneapolis and St.
Paul to greet the Minnesota volun
teers. With the possibility that the
president might be unable to con
tinue his trip further west, the Twin
Cities have undertaken to arrange for
the mobilization of all the volunteers
as their guests. The organizations,
if mustered out at San Francisco, will
be transported to Minneapolis and St.
Paul as the guests of the Twin Cities.
After the jubilee the troops will go
home to their respective states at the
expense of the states.
The program is to have the North
and South Dakota, Montana, Colorado,
Tennessee, iowa, Pennsylvania, Kan
sas and Nebraska volunteers at this
gathering and, if possible, those from
Washington, Utah, Oregon and Cali
fornia. The date upon which the
troops will reach St. Paul and Minne
apolis will depend upon the rapidity
with which transports can be placed
at their disposal by the war depart
ment, but it is expected that once
started the troops will all be landed
at San Francisco within six weeks.
The first of the troops are expected to
arrive by the middle of .Tune and the
last by August 1. The jubilee there
fore probably will occur early in Au
gust. The president's acceptance of
this invitation does not necessarily
mean that he lias abandoned his con
templated trip to the Pacific coast.

that the most serious effect of the
storm was the almost electrocution of
Annie Sullivan, a 10-year-old girl, who
was on her way hotye from school.
She was struck by a live telephone
wire, heavily charged by a cross with
electric light wires. The wire caught;
her across the throat and burned into
the flesh from car to ear. The phy

in Minersville was unroofed. No one
was seriously injured.
The roof of A. Warmeastle's livery
stable in the East End was blown off
and the entire system ot' telephone,
