COMMENT OF THE LONDON TIMES UPON AMERI-
CAN FINANCES.
LONDON, April 2l.-The Times congratulates
Secretary Sherman upon his success in con-
verting the 1910 bonds and says the con-
version of the per cent. bonds in 1881 is likely
to depend more than the present operation on
the maintenance of the credit of the United
States abroad. Rsviving treoe in the United
States will by 1881 probably render IL i'm
possible to obtain money there at per cent.
Now that the conversion has been carried as
far rs 1t can be for two years, Sherman should
direct the attention of Congress and the ma
ton to the policy of reducing the capital of
the debt which has been for some time neg
lected.
A COLLISION AT SEA.
LONDON, Aprli 2l.-The steamer Gellert,
Captain Krhlewein, from Hamburg for New
York, was in collision, Sunday, with the ship
Rosetta Smith, from New York, and arrived
at Scilly, where she was detained until this
morning, when she gave sS5,000 bonds and
proceeded.

Admitting all that is claimed for the sub
scription cs an evidence of Government
credit, there is another view to be taken of
the transaction which is less calculated to
create enthusiasm. It does not indicate
revival of business from its leng prostration-
The transaction. says the New York Express,
shows that money is idle and unproductlve,
when nearly 5000, 00o, eco of bonds and fund
ing Ger tiicates are subscribed to in few
days. II business were in healthy normal
state mans money would be worth more
than per cent. Secretary Sherman has
only Afforded another ILLUSTRATION that the
country is not prosperous under the admin
istration of its affairs by the Republican
party. The banks extol the secretary, and
the Tribune blows its fog-horn to assure US
that JOHN Sherman is steering us safely out
of the storm. Two hundred millions of idle
capital which jumps at a per cent. invest
ment is very bad sign, so far as the business
of the country and revival of its PROSTATE
industries are concerned
Here it is seen that number of capitalists
and moneyed institutions invest in day
nearly $500, O0o, 900 of money which does not
give days work to shy man in the country.
It does not turl a furrow, move 9 shuttle,
reyolye an industrial wheel, or add blow
upon the anvil. If it proves anything aside
from the fact that there is idle capital in the
country, it Is that men who have money are
wanting in confidence in any of the great
enterprises Of the times; that they are will
ling to take no risks except such as are
predicated upon taxation. What is wanted
in this country is a revival of industries
whereby the millions of willing workers
may produce something and earn a living.
The Republican policy is starvation policy.
1t is death to workers. II means purse.

In these regards a revolution is one of the
grand essentials of the times.

GARFIELD, of Ohio, got on his ear yester-
day, and introduced q bill in the House
instructing the secretary of war to furnish
tents and rations to certain destitute colored
emigrants in Kansas, and making an appro-
priation of $4,000 for that purpose. 1t is
the intention of the Republican conspirators
to move the entire colored population North.
and -Gbout 1000 have already arrived. If
these require 10000, the exodus will de-
mand about $500 O00. 0oe to keep them alive
for a period of, say one month, or 81 ,2O0.-
GOO 0o for the first year; and it is doubtful
if this amount would be sufficient to keep
them from pestilence and death. The thing
looks expensive; and Kansas is on its ear.

Ir was sad, sad scene. A beautiful girl
of Is summers had tainted away. She lay
upon divan, richly upholstered in silk and
purple. cold, motionless and white as mar
bic. Hurrying feet were heard, signs OF
deep anguish grew to walls of grief, tears
fell like rain; parents, brothers and sisters
gathered around the couch; physicians came;
friends were ready with words of sympathy
and coincidence The physicians prescribed.
No sounds were hes I'd but signs and lamen-
tations, until some one whispered, "Deadio
and just then the beautiful creature languid-
ly opened her eyes-syes that never before
beamed so softly with love. The lips moved
as if in prayer. Weeping relatives bowed
like worshippers to catch the dying utter
ances. She said, MA, may buy that love
of bonnet at Madame So" and the
mother, with the yearning tenderness cs a
thousand Kolian harps, said yes" and the
beautiful young lady arose from her couch
and was refreshed with beefsteak, and all
were happy.

There is a battle for precedence in progress
between the wives of senators and of repre-
sentatives. 1t has been the custom to admit
the wives of members of the House to re-
served galleries Of the Senate upon MEM
ber's card. The Senate ladies, finding the
crowd too close for their spring toilets,
protested and after lively wrangle an. or
der has been issued on the Senate side not
to recognize the cards of members of the
House. The wives of the latter are in Q
most non angelic mood, and they are trying
to arrange for retaliation on the House side
against the families Of senators.
