The Banks of England and France
Compared.

The bank of England was founded in
1894, and consequently is 180 years old;
whereas the bank Of France was formed
in 1903, the last year of the Consulate
of Napoleon, by law which conferred
on it the exclusive privilege of issuing
notes payable to the bearer at sight in
coin, until 1857. It's charter was re-
newed under Napoleon Ill, extending
its duration and its monopoly privileges
until the 1st of January, 1898. The
bank of France is, therefore, only 20
years old.

France H.. S36, 40O, 900
The surplus Observation-Disclosures. is. IL 800, 900
Total. .............. ............ S48, 300 900
The capital of the English bank is,
therefore, so, 600, 900 greater than that
of the bank of France. But the shares
of the bank of France sell for 43O per
cent, while the price of the stock of the
English bank is 240 per cent, showing
that the French bank yields about
double the profit per share of the
English bank, which is because it does
a much larger business in proportion to
its capital.
The coin and bullion in the vaults of
the two banks thus compare on the 9th
of November, 1873:
Bank of England ................S1 S105, ,000, 900
Bank OF France. ..-.-... 146,OOO,0 900
Showing greater stock of coin in the
France bank by so per cent. than in the
English bank that is, the latter had
but two-thirds as much of the precious
metals as the former, few days ago,
when the English bank had largely
strengthened its stock of gold. Before
the Franco German war, the usual
amount of gold and silver in the vaults
of the bank of France was 1920, 900, 600
to $3.50, 600, 900, while that in the bank
of England rarely exceeded 1926, 900,
600, or scarcely half the average of the
French institution.-C Chicago Tribune.

ROME.
BY JOAQUIN MILLER

BY JOAQUIN MILLER.
Some leveled bills, a wall a dome
That lords its gilded arch and lies,
While at It's base a beggar cries
For bread and dies :; and this Is Rome.
Thou Rome that pouted, shrieked for room,
To stretch thy liInbsi A hill of caves
For wild beasts, as they were and slaves,
And gypsies tent within thy tomb.
A wolf-like stream. without sound,
Steals through and hides beneath the shor
Its awful secrets evermore
Within its sullen bOs ON bound.
Two lone palms on the PaIatine,
row of cypress, black and tall,
With white roots set in CseSar's Hall
With roots that round white marbles tWine.
They watch along the broken wall,
They look away toward Lebanon,
And mourn for grandeur dead and gone
And this is Rome-and this IS all.
Yet Rome is Rome, and Rome she must
And will remain beside her gates,
And tribute take from king and states
Until the stars be fallen to dust.
Yea, time on yon Campanian plain
Has pit he'd in siege his battle tents,
And round about her battlements
Has marched aud trumpeted in vain.
These skies are Romei The very loan
Lifts up and speaks in Roman pride;
And time, outfaced and still defieu,
Sits by and Wags his head as Rome.

A COLORADO paper describes a young
whirlwind in that section, which was
about a yard in diameter, and which
picked up man and waltzed off down
the road with him. It's vertical force
was sufficient to invert the tails of his
coat above his head, notwithstanding
his pockets were loaded with specimens
of silver ore, and at the same time he
was carried along for hundred feet OF
more, ike a feather, while under him
vas noise like that of an empty cart
bouncing o er stony street.

should unite in systematic effort to de-
strov this enemy of mankind from our

mosphere from this poisonous element
which is degrading and running so
many of our citizens.
Rcsolred, I'd. That we oppose every
propositiOn that would give the sanction
of law to the sale of intoxicating drinks,
deeming it but just that the response
bilities of liquor-selling and its results
should he borne by those engaged in
the traffic and not by our government
Furthermore, that whatever of influence

A CORRESPONDENT asks an explana-

proposition to be voted upon relates
wholly TO Judges Of the Supreme and
Circuit courts. Should it carry, and
the Constitution be adopted, hereaf
ter, in the election of these Judges,
where three or more are to be chosen
al the same time, no elector can vote
fora greater number of candidates
than a majority. Thus, in an cleo
ton for Supreme court bench. con
sisting of five Judges, the elector can
only vote for three of the candidates.
This is supposed to give the minori-
