The japanese are engaged in reforming their
currency, SO that It will closely rseeoees IN sze,
shape and value the coins OF the United States.
The gold coins heretofore used In Japan ass called
nibos They are fat pieces Of gold. about IN inch
long and half inch wide. containing twenty
per cent OF silver. and are valued a. ffty;thrpe
cents When It was determined to change the
currency system it was found that with the limit
ed refining works Of Japan it would take four or
five years to accomplish that object. The Japa-
nese have mint at Hiogo. and can turn out ths
COINS as fast as required; but the difficulty was
III refining the metal. Therefore ths Japanese
Government made an arrangement with the Bank
OF California and the San Francisco Refining and
Assuying Works by which nibos to the amount Of
$4,000, 900 are 10 be sent to San Fraucisco and

The Reclaimed Boston Marshes.

some vi the tuest streets in Boston occupy
grouud whlch twenty years ago was covered by
the waters OF the Back Bay. Within that time
several hundred acres have been reclaimed, and
tao work Is still going on thoughtess act of
legislation, nearly sixty years ago. put it III the
power OF the owners Of single mill to have pre-
vented, III "a great measure, this vast addition to
the wealth and attractiveness Of 1.-THE city. At
that time the Legislature granted to the Water
Power Company which built the dam, the right OF
keeping the fats which it enclosed covered with
water forever, TO aid in the creation Of water
power by tide mill. These fats, which remain
State property, contain over two hundred acres
When II was demanded in consequence OF the
growth Of the city, the Water Power Company
agreed to abandon all right and title TO the howage
OF the land i'll consideration of grant OF one hun
dred acres of these fats, which have since been
filled III and worth millions ct dollars
Having extended its streets into the Back Bay un-
I'll the fats there which are available for building
purposes have beer nearly all taken up Boston
proposes to build into its harbor. Twenty
five OF fats which were sold in 1869 to the
Boston, Hartford and Erie Railroad Company have
reverted to the State by sale under mortgage, and
are to be filled up at once. Sea walls are to be
built at the edge OF the ship channels, and the fats
intervening between these channels and the shore
to he reclaimed for streets and warehouses.
The bill authorizing the proposed improvement
limits it to the tract lately belonging to the Hart
lord and Erie road but fats belonging TO the
Boston and Albany road, and other owners, will
undoubtedly soon be utilized in . similar manner.
In few years it is probable that not less than
savep hnu rad will thna hA A60ad To fhA
rtory Of Boston, and it will be on this newly made
ground that the great warehouses, railroad freight
houses, and principal commercial Offices will con-
centrate. By deepening the channels the largest
steamers, which now stop in East Boston. will be
able to discharge their cargoes anywhere along the
line of the new water front.

The Prospect for a Democratic Pres
ident.

The Democratic party never commanded more
votes than 1t does now-nevcr were the Demo-
cratic millions eager to deposit their ballots IN
favor OF their cherished principles, and some stand
ard bearer III whom the people can rely for truth
fully carrying forward the economical system upon
which the Government was based. Such man,
If elected would relieve the whole country OF
system of taxation which is extremely depressing,
while the effect would lie to restore confidence and
infuse new life and energy to the people in all
sections and Of every class. Asa survey OF the
field and the chances OF the contest may not be
without good effect, we condense the views OF one
of our larger contemporaries.
In 1865 thirty-four States voted for President
giving to GRANT 2l4 electoral votes, and to SEY-
MouR 80. The States Of Virginia, Mississippi. and
Texas did not vote at all The States of Alabama,
Arkansas, Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee,
and West Virginia, which gave GRANT 4S electoral
votes, have since 1868 lapsed from the Republican
party beyond all hope Of recovery by the nominee
Of the Philadelphia Convention.
The States OF Connecticut. Indiana, Nebraska.
and Nevada gave GRANT "a electoral votssin 1888.
Ii they now fall away from the Philsdelphis non-
lnee, their detection. coupled with that OF the six
States above named, will alone be sufficient to de-
feat GRANT. Taking the popular vote OF 1868 for
a basis, a change OF l,6s0 Republican votes in
Connecticut, OF 500 in Indiana, OF 100 In Ne
bIassa, and OF 700 in Nevada, would change
those States TO the Democratic column. Is there
any supporter OF GRANT 90 infatuated as not to
understand that the Liberal Republicans Of those
four States can cast the number of yotes above
named On the contrary, does he not know that
number. ft.- .f.,t
These indisputabie statistics show that Grant
cannot possibly be reelected If the Liberal Re-
pubcans support their own ticket or unite with
the Democrats, This result would be rendered
stlll more certain by the fact that Of the three
States which did not vote in 1865. two-Vireinia
and TeXas-are sure to go against Grant,
In these calculations take no note OF such
States as Pennsylvania and Illinois, which went
heavily Tor Grant III 1868, and are almost certain
to 90 heavily against him now. Nor do we i'll
thus continlng ourselves to the figures Of 1861
take INTO the account the effect OF the popular
impulse now appearing all over the country, and
which, ii brought into full play against the can
dldate Of the ofiice-holders, scarcely fail ta
sweep away alt barriers and elect the Democratic
Nominee by an overwhelming majority, thus
yInlIcatng the proudest boast of American free
men, Z. f. that the people are able to govern
themselves.
