Sknatok 1)1 ay has not availed
himself of his Senatorial privilege
to put off the action that has leen
brought against him in Court in
Philadelphia. He could plead his
privilege as a United States Sena
tor and be free from the action till
after the adjournment of the Sen
ale next March. He has the right
to do so under the Constitution of
the I'siited States. lint he has
said, co on with the suit. The
Slate has not lost one dollar by the
transaction that is charged against
Senator Ouav, and it remains to
lie shown that he was in a conibi
nation to use the State money on
deposit iu the People's bank in
Philadelphia. Under the law that
that action has been brought, how
many county treasurers and town
ship and ltorough tax collectors
and bank cashiers, could Ikj brought
Ik fore court to ansv er in the same
way that Senator Quay has been
arraigned ? Put the Senator is be
fore the court and the questions
involved with the parties behind
the scenes will be made to appear
l)cforc the public and until then
suffice it to sav that it is one of the
most interesting cases ever put up
on trial in I'euusvlvauia.

'All this political excitement re
calls my brief career as a candi
date," mused a citizen the other
day, who now limits his practical
politics to voting. "I was living at
the time iu a district where the
people had a , good congressman
and most of them were in favor of
keeping him. But, of course,
there was a dissatisfaction, as
there always is, and by an im
mense amount of hustling for three
days and nights preceding the con
vention I was nominated.
"My parly had a good, safe,
normal majority, but I knew that
some of its iuemlers were out for
revenge, and we made things hum.
There was but little time in which
to do a great deal, for the old
organization vtas lukewaria and I
had to perfect another one. J kept
the wires hot to all parts of the
district, and I was never more
pleaded than when a bright oper
ator from another city came to ine
v. itli hi:; advice. He urged me to
send ail my dispatches to my chief
lieutenant in cipher. Then 1 ccuid
say just what 1 wanted to and the
enemy would le none the wiser.
He would handle the matter for
me if I would just have a wire run
into my headquarters. He arrang
ed the cipher and used it with
wonderful skill. All I had to do
was to M-iie what I wanted to
f-end and he did the rest. 1 kept
him at that key from morning un
til late at night and he never com
plained. Indeed, he often sug
gested things that I had better ex
plain aud orders that I had better
issue. Everything went on as
though it were greased, and I was
dead sure. Put I was simply
slaughtered. My operator was iu
the employ of the opposition. All
it had to do was to check my moves.
1 was iu debt up to my ears, and
was laughed at for the way 1 had
been taken in. I went to work,
got even with the world, and was
happy. I wouldn't run for presi
dent now if the salary was paid
me in advance

Silver is the basis of the cur
rency in the Philippine Islands.
There is no gold in general circu
lation and has been none for more
than twenty years. The Mexican
dollar of a date previous to 1877 is
current in the islands and it is
practically the onlv money in gen
eral circulation. There is a local
note-issuing bank, called the Banco
Espanol lihpino, which has in cir
eolation notes based on silver, of
which there was outstanding on
September 30, approximately
$2,500,000
"The finnctuation in the de
mand for money in different sea
sons of the year resulted in widely
flnnctuating rates of exchange and
in the continued flow of money
either to or from the islands. The
law which prevented the importa
tion of the Mexican dollars of a
date subsequent to 1877 proved a
great hardship to the business in
terests and would have been a
much great evil had it not been for
the laxity of the officials, w hich
permitted and encouraged emu
gling. After the occupation of
Manila by the American troops
permission was given the bauks to
import silver freely and the result
has been to keep exchange rates on
a more stable basis.
There is $15,000,000 iu Philippine
dollars coined by the Spanish Gov
ernment and sent out a year ago,
of which only a small percentage
is now in Manila. It is estimated
there is in circulation $10,000,000
of subsidiary coins, the 10-ccnt,
20-cent and 50-ceut pieces, w hic h
have been recoined from Mexican
dollars by the Spanish Govern
ment. The estimate of the Mexi
can dollars now in cnculation as
given by one of the lest informed
bankers iu the islands, is from
$20,000,000 to $25,000,000. This,
with the 2.5ti0.(!00 of notes of the
Banco Espanol Filpino now in cir
dilation constitutes the currency of
the islands. This would make a
total of from $40,000,000 to J4
ous'.OOO, speaking roughly, for the
entire islands, or approximately
5 per capita for the total popula
lion of the islands. It must not
be overlooked that these figures
are given on a silver basis, arid
that, therefore, in figuring on our
own siandard, all of these figures
must be cut iu two.
"There is iu Manila a savings
institution aud public pawn shop,
which is practically under the con
trol of the church. It is culled
the "Monte De Piedad." It was
established to make loans to the
poor people, and has doue. a good
work during ihe few years it has
been in existence.
If the United States retain the
Philippine Islands a special coin-
Age of silver dollars might be
minted for circulation in the archi
pelago, the same as ihe British
dollar has been put in circulation
in the Strait settlements, iu Hong
Kong and in other ports where
British interests predominate. In
time the gold, standard might be
put iu force in the islands, but in
the opinion of the business men
enerally is would have to be ac
complished flowly, and consider
ation would have to be given to
the conservative attitude of the
people aud to the fact that they
would have to be educated to the
nine of the new ihirrency.
The Mexican dollar in general
irculatiou in the Philippine Is
lands contains 47 grams of silver
M) line. The purchasing power
f the dollar is the bullion value of
the silver contained in it and it in
creases or decreases in value iu ac
cordance with the quotations for
bar silver in London, winch are
received every day by cable in
Manila.
There is an issue of $ 10,000,000
of bonds, which was put by the
puuiMU Government in July, 1.S07,
and which serves as a li rat lien up-
n the customs receipts of the port
f Manila.
Practically all the export and
m port trade of the islands is in
the hands of foreigners. There
are a lew Spaniards engaged in
trading, but the bulk of the busi
ness in a commercial way is done
British, German, Belgian and
American citizens.

A HEROINE.
The Philadelphia Inquirer says,
Miss Sallie Mummy, of North Un
ion township, near Wilkesbarre,
saved the life of Jacob Mensinger
at the risk of her own, on the 1st
of December.
While Mensinger was in the
barnyurd on the farm of Miss Mum
my's father, a vicious bull brote
out of his stall and caught Men-
singer and tossed him high in the
air. As the young man came down
the bull was at him again, and
with tierce energy caught him on
his sharp horns and threw nini
violently against the wheel of a
wagon. Mensinger became un
conscious. Miss Mummy happened along
the road, saw the farm hand's per
il and acted instantly. She hur
ried to the barn and got a pitch
fork and sprang to the rescue.
The bull had backed off for an
other charge upon the helpless
man, but as he moved forward
with lowered head he encountered
the sharp tines of the pitchfork in
the hands of the plucky young
woman aud for a brief space it was
a question whether the lieast would
not win the battle. Miss Mummy
followed m the bull by vigorous
prods with the fork and slowly
drove him back into the barn,
where he was secured. Then the
young heroine summoned help,
and the unconscious man was car
ried into the house. Mensinger
was badly injured, but will re
cover.
Miss Mummy did not seem to
regard her heroic act as anything
inordinary and went on ner way
unconcerned.
