OBITUARY.
Sir Richard Gayne, TX. C.B.

The Atlantic cable brings us intelligence Of
the death, on Sunday last, in London, OF SIR
Richard Mayne, Chief of the Metropolitan Police
OF the. great city. The deceased was born in
Ireland some time during the year 1876, his
father being one of the judges in the Court of
Kings Bench, Ireland. Educated first at Trinity
College, Dublin. where he took degrees, he was
subsequently admitted ad ldudem to Trinity
College, Cambridge and IN 1921 the degree of
M. A. was conferred upon him. During the
following year he was vas t called to the bar at
of more than ordinary legal ability, his
success in his profession does not appear
to have been very decided. In 1929 he re
ceived the appointment of Commissioner of the
Metropolitan Police of London, and in re ward
for the services he rendered while holding that
office was created O.. b. in l647 and X. Q. b.
OF the Civil Division in 1851. HIS energy and
administrative capacity also caused his promo
tion to the position OF Chief of Police, which he
held at the time of his death. About year ago,
while the reform question occupied the minds
of all classes of Englishmen, Sir Richard Mayne
made himself quite notorious and unpopular by
his official course towards the mem bers and
supporters OF the Reform League. meeting
was announced to be held i'll Hyde Park, and by
his orders the gates were closed and the crowd
refused admittance. As will be general Y remem-
bered, riot on a small scale was the result of
this most unnecessary exercise OF power, and all
the odium OF the act rested upon the deceased.
The manifestation of public sentiment on this
occasion appeared to have some effect upon the
aulocratic Chief OF Police, as a subsequent
meeting was held in the Park and the people
were not molested Sir Richard Mayne was an
old man, having lived more than seventy-two
years-beyond the allotted threescore and ten
of man. He belonged TO class of Engllshmen
of whom but few are now lVing-men bred up
in school of politics that taught the scholars
to place implicit faith in the assurance of
Shakespeare that divinity hedges around
royalty. He was, we think, Tory of very de-
cided opinions, holding to those views of gov
erLment which give the masses as little power
as possible. That he had outlived his day and
was blind TO the progress of the age was made
manifest in the course he pursued last year.
However, 10 his praise it must be said that the
discipline and efficiency of the Metropolitan
police Of London were aud are due more to his
administrative faculties than those OF any others
of his colleagues.-N. y. Herald.

Senator Morton, of Indiana, has replied at
length to Mr.. Greeley's letter addressed to him
on the 2lst inst, and concludes as follows:-
1.-The fact is, our bondholders understand
very well that whatever may be the law on the
question, the bonds, or any considerable part OF
them, cannot be paid in coin while the currency
remains deprecated; that it Is folly to talk
about paying the bonds in gold if the Govern
ment cannot procure gold enough to redeem the
greenbacks; that the redemption of the notes
and return to specie payments is a necessary
condition precedent to the payment of the
bonds in gold, and thev look more to the return
to specie payment and the establishment of
our finances on a solid basis than to the mere
form of the contract as to how they shall be
Daid. Gold payments should begin with the
debt that is due, which is the currency, and not
by shaving bonds that will not fan due for four
teen years. The currency lies at the foundation
of the whole financial structure, and if it be
unsound, the structure above must be Insecure
and dangerous"
