Rapid Coinage of Gold and

WASHINGTON, April %. Mr.. Bur.
chard, director ofthe mint, has return
ed from a trip south, where he has
been for several weeks, spending most
Of the time at New Orleans. He re-
ports the mint in good shape at New
Orleans, and coinage at the rate Of six
hundred thousand silver dollars per
month. This is assigned as their
share of the two million Of bullion,
according to their facilities. The
Philadelphia mint is exclusively at
work on gold at the rate of five mil.
lions a month. There is some query
as to where this money goes to. Every
month now five millions of s. and $40
gold pieces are being coined, and there
is more than bullion enough on hand
to keep the mint going a year as ithas
been kept up for some months. This
coin is paid out to bullion owners who
bring their gold for coinage. and then

rather than place it in saving banks. as
they would do we're they only able Ia

THE LEADING

Paper of the interior is the WEEKLY UNION. No
other journal presents itself SO favorably to the
people of The coast it is issued twice each week
To all who have been accustomed to the old style Of
weeAl y, this is a great advantage, one which all
thoughtful persons will thoroughly appreciate. 1t
sends the paper out twice. where the old style Of
weekly goes out but once. Thus these seni-weekly
parts have always conveyed to the readers the
three and half days in advance of its competitors
Each semE-weekly part consists Of eight pages, and
thus each subscriber to the WEEKLY UNION receives
each week sixteen pages of matter, very few col
umns Of which are open to advertisers. Take the
case of the recent tragedy at Washington. The
President was shot on the 81. All readers OF the
WEEKLY UNION received by the semi-weekly issue
that was mailed on the 9TH the full account of the
tragedy, and of all the subsequent events to that
date, while readers of the old style OF weekly were
so far as those papers concerned in ignorance
of the momentous event until the eth 9th while
the semi weekly issue OF the UNION on the 9th gave
the news to that date and closer up to it than was
possible to the old-fashioned weeklies The
WEEKLY UNION is mailed in semi-weekly parts to
any address for g 90 per year.

WHOLESALE CONTEMPLATING.

A remarkable fraud has just been dis
covered in Switzerland. 1t is sort of
syndicate organized for the express pur-
pose Of making counterfeit coin and pass
ing it off upon the Egyptian fellahs.
These latter are simple and unsophisti-
Gated folk, and it appears that they have
already been swindled to the extent of
some FIVE million dollars. The Swiss
swindlers, who are for the most part
highly respectable persons, one of them
being an eminent banker, another wealthy
jeweler, and so forth, are said to have
carried on the fraud for several years. 1t
seems that they began by manufacturing
coin which was equally valuable to that
which circulated in Egypt, and therefore,
though they were guilty of counterfeiting,
they did not inflict upon the Egyptians
any other injury than might have arisen
from an artificial initiation Of their cur.
rency. But after 3 time it occurred

MAoKAYs REFUSAL.

john W Mackay is said to have refused
to contribute towards the S250.003 which
it was proposed to raise for the President
lately. Doubtless John W. Mackay had
perfect right to refuse, and in our judgment
he was justified completely in his course.
The proposition in the first instance was
most indelicste, vulgar and hsir-brained
one. It was most coarse and sordid way
of expressing regard and esteem for the
President, and it smacled vilely of dollar
worship. There was no reason for raising
$3.50, 900, or any other sum, either for
General or Mrs. Garfield. Had the Presi-
dent died, it might have been in order to
do something of the kind, but under the
circumstances it was clumsy, premature
and in bad taste If John W. Mackay
never makes greater mistake than in de-
clining to contribute TO that fund, he will
have very few slips with which to reproach
himself.

THE COMET DOUBLES UP.-The comet
has been getting married or doubling up,
or doing something mysterious. At any
rate there are two travelling side by side.
So say astronomers About 10 o'clock,
July Sth, at the Cincinnati Observatory,
Professor c. G. Wilson, the assistant Of
Professor 0rmond Stone, was startled by
the altered condition of the comet He
discovered that a jet had been thrown out,
which was separated from the nucleus by
a thin, dark line. Professor Wilson at
once notified Professor Stone of the won
derful phenomenon, and together they ran
to the telescope. This jet gradually
formed into distinct nucleus, and it was
not long before two comets were visible
or rather the old one was double. The
new comet is ranged directly above the old
one, and was not visible to the naked eye
in fact the whole was but dimly seen.
OF the Biela comet expected in 1865, but
not found, it is written ''The Biela
comet, when first observed, January II,
1916, at the Washington Observatory, was
divided into two distinct comets, each
having coma, nucleus and tail. The comet
returned in 1852, and at that time both
the comets were travelling together, with
singular interchanges of luster, first one
and then the other showing the greater de-
gree of brightness. That was the last seen
Of the Biela comet, though it should have
returned every sixth year, had it continued
to exist.

The treachery of the Conkling boilers

other effect than fully to expose the aims

and certainly will not allow the resolution
OF adjournment to pass. The election OF
Miller seems possible, but that of Lapham

alleled. There is no question that Conk-
ling is now holding out on toe desperate
chance of the Presidents death, and the
fact ought to cover him with infamy, and
to bury him forever beneath the contempt
of the American people. Nothing so en-.
tirely base and indecent as his conduct
since the shooting of the President has ever
occurred before in the history of this re.
public, and he is terribly deceived if he
thinks that the people will either forget OF
forgive it.

SECRECY IN UNIVERSITY MANAGEMENT.

We have heretofore expressed the opin-
ion that the Regents of the California
University have made serious il not fatal
mistake in keeping their proceedings from
the public. We are glad to find that the
Nation holds precisely similar views re-
garding the question of university manage
ment. In an article censuring Yale for
failing to publish annual reports of its con-
ditioD, it says: "This is all wrong A
" university is not a private trust ii the
" largest and most solemn sense of the
" term. There is no class of trusts which
" tie American people is more interested
" in seeing faithfully executed than college
" trusts. No board of college
" trustees has any right TO ask the public
" to believe that they are. doing all they
" can for the higher education with the
I" funds at their disposal, without giving
" the proof of it every year in black and
white" The Nation adds another con-
sideration which is of very great import
ance, and which has peculiar significance
in this State, where there are so many
very wealthy men. and where so few OF
these wealthy men have hitherto done
anything for the higher education.
1t says: American colleges, unlike
those of continental Europe, owe
I" nearly all they have in the way of en-
dowment to the muniticence of individu-
" ais. They must rely on them, too, in
Z" the main for their future expansion. The
" gifts of the State in this country to uni
"versities are almost fatal gifts. But
nothing does more to chill this num-
ficence than secrecy. Moneyed men
have to have their lberality and memory
" stimulated, and their interest excited
"and supplied with suggestions. by fire.
"quent reports, such as they can under
stand, of what the colleges are doing
and would like to do if they had the
means" There can be no doubt as to
the truth of this. In such cases what is
unknown is neglected. The university
which keeps all its proceedings secret, and
acts like close corporation, has no right
to complain if it is ignored both by the
rich who might help it, and by the public
who should send their sons and daughters
to it. The fact that the California Uni
versity is supported by the State may be a
misfortune, but it would not shut off ali
the avenues of private assistance to its
funds if the institution was properly kept
before the community. 1t is mistake to
suppose that universities do not require to
be advertised They cannot in fact live
fully or satisfactorily without being adver.
tised.

CHINESE EXODUS TO AUSTRALIA.

Australia is threatened with heavy
Chinese immigration, consequent upon the
ravages of famine in some of the northern
provinces of the Celestial Empire. The
Australians have had enough experience
of John Chinaman In the past not to be
at all enthusiastic over his advent in bulk,
and a CONSERVATION has been caused by
the event which is quite likely to find
expression in hostile legislation. Driven
by famine, however, the Chinese doubtless
feel that they must go somewhere away
from their own inhospitable country, and
it will not be easy to keep them out if
they can find means to pay their passages.
The Australians have more room than most
colonists for them, but this does not in
crease their appreciation of them. The
case of John is certainly hard. He will
starve to death if he does not emigrate,
and when he does emigrate everybody
repulses and tries to drive him away.
Perhaps some day he will in his despera-
ton take to emigrating in such swarms
that it will cease to be possible to keep
him out

THE FALL OF TIE BASTILE.

The French continue to commemorate
the l4th of July as the anniversary of the
fall of the Bastile. It may be commended
in seine broad and rude way that that event
signalled the enfranchisement of the French
people, but the student of history cannot
shut his eyes to the fact that this enfran-
chisement was worked out in the bloodiest,
most destructive and circuitous ways, and
that in fact the fall of the Bastile was the
preface to a period of anarchy, crime, out
rage and Righteousness, which no intelli-
gent Frenchman can look back upon with.
out horror and regret The fall of the
Bastile was not the uprising oil maddened
people against intolerable wrongs. As
matter of fact the French masses had never
had any experience of the Bastile. As
matter of fact the Government at that
time was mild and paternal to the verge of
impotence. The truth is that the fall of
the Bastile was the first formal declaration
of war against the existing social system
which had been long in preparation. Fam
inc had begun the work. The efforts of
the King to reform the Government had
removed the barriers which had previously
repressed discomfort. The ignorant and
savage multitude ascribed the royal mild
ness and liberalism to conscious guilt and
weakness. The criminal elements, as al
ways at such times, mounted to the surface,
and gave the popular movement its first
sinister tendencies. The revolution be-
gan with robbery and pillage. 1t proceeded
thence to murder from murder to mas
sacre from that to the overthrow of all
government, all order thence to the sys.
tematization of mob despotism in the most
hideous ways the world has ever seen.
There were wrongs enough demanding re-
dress, but to say that they were redressed
otherwise than by blind and furious vio-
lence, trampling and tearing everything
about it, and simply changing the situa-
ton by extinguishing the ancient regime,
is to ignore the plainest facts of history.
The fall of the Bastile was not the COM
mencement of a revolution, but as Tame
says, of a dissolution. There was no
intelligent purpose in that event. 1t was
