How shall we describe ST. NICHOLAS? Editors
and critics confess that they cannot say enough In
its praise. The poet Whittier says SIT is LITTLE
to say of ST. NICHOLAS that 1t Is the best childs
periodical in the world.' Charles Dudley Warner
writes: " do not see how 1t can be made any bet
ter and If the children do not like It, 1t is time to
change the kind of children In this country" The
Chrfatian linton, says: 1t Is delightful magazine
for children of all agesfrom five to eighty-seyen
and the Inter- Ocean adds: lit Is an institution Of
which Young and CldiAmerica is proud as Eng
land is Of Punch; Such No. was never seen be-

The Bank OF California Resumes
Business.

When the Bank Of California closed its
doors, little more than a month ago, tho
infationists on this side Of the continent
were very ready to point to this misfortune
as evidence that coin is no greater security
against panics and loss than irredeemable
paper money. They have not had to wait
lo g for their answer, and they have it this
IIo ming in the reopening of the banks
d.ors.
No kind Of currency neither coin nor
paper, can prevent men from imprudent adj
ventures 1t is the bad quality of an inflated
and irredeemable paper currency that it
temRts and irresistibly draws men into spec
ulations and baseless ventures. 1t is one Of
the merits of specie currency that it makes
men cautious, and that even the most SAN
guine and adventurous are restrained. Thus
it is now known that Mr.. Ralston's misfor-
tunes came upon him, not by rash over-spec-
ulation, but through his desire to advance
the legitimate industrial interests of the
State, in which he engaged funds which, un-
fortunately, could not be drawn out on de-
mand. There is no pretence that he was
speculator in the sense in which Mr.. Jay
Gould has that name.
But it is also transcendant merit of
specie currency that, disaster occurring, the
remedy is easily and rapidly attained. The
"bottom does not fall out" to use the slang
of the street And the reason is that there is
real value to fall back upon. The COM
munity in California used a currency which
has intrinsic value. On the day when the
bank closed its doors the depositors and
creditors Of the bank were doubtless embar-
rassed; but the general public suffered no
loss Whoever had dollar in his pocket
knew that that dollar was as valuable then as
before the bank closed People did not look
into the paper the next morning to see
whether their dollars were worth seventy or
eighty cents, or perhaps only fifty, as people
did here after the panic of 1873, and still
continue to do, alas
Finally the use of coin undoubtedly fos-
ters high sense of commercial honor. When
the Bank of California stopped its directors
at once met, counted their losses and pre-
pared to pay their creditors dollar for dollar.
There was never day of doubt as to the
safety of the banks creditors. 1t was an
nounoed at once that all losses would be
made good and now we see that, with an

wish 70 erect building they employ an
architect, and il il always as wise to employ
special talent in this way as it Is to call a
skilful physician in severe sickness What
the trade unions need is not d lawyer,
but the counsel of an honest, considerate,
well-informed business man, competent to
form a sound judgment Of the state of the
market in every emergency which may lead
up to a strike. The greatest improvement
the trade unions could make in their organ
ization would be to set apart portion of
the contributions received from their mem
bers for the employment Of an upright, judi
cious and slzilful person who should devote
his time to watching their interests and Civ
ing them the special information which only
a trained man of business can acquire.
Wages cannot, for any length of time, be
kept above or below their natural level But
when such condition of the markets exists
as must ultimately lead to higher rate of
wages a strike fora rise would hasten the re-
suit On the other hand. when the profits
of producers fall to so low point that they
must either suspend operations or reduce
the wages of their hands, q strike
against a fall will. certainly prove
abo1iye, involving loss, humiliation
and suffering, like the recent strike
at Fall River. WE have nothing to say
against labor unions, nor against strikes,
which are their most formidable weapon. But
a strike is gun which does infinitely more
execution at the breech than at the muzzle,
unless it is intelligent. We therefore sug-
gest to the trade unions, as great improve
ment in their methods, that they devote a
portion of their funds to the employment of
wise counsel to study their interests and
furnish them with a kind of information
which they cannot acquire for themselves.
The remedy which has been so often sug-
gested, of Court of Arbitration to adjust
differences, would be of little use unless the
laborers had some skilful and thoroughly
informed person to state their case and
represent their interests. Considering how
much the Fall River operatives have lost by
a miscalculation founded on ignorance we
would fain hope that the suggestion we now
make may be kindly received
