The Force Of the Waves.

At the mouth of the Thames great
struggle has been renewed this year
with the waves Of the sea. The $500
acres which mako up the whole extent
of Canvey island have been wholly re-
claimed from tho ocean, 5000 through
the energy Of Dutchman, about 1928,
and $500 at more recent dates. With.
out any warning the combined force Of
the wind and waves of the Goth of Jan
uary last made huge gaps more than a
mile in length in the wall dividing the
land from the waters, and LOGO acres
were flooded. When the reclamation
from the sea was made by the enterpris-
ing Dutcbman, 1000 acres was allotted
to him as bis reward, and on them was
laid the cost of repairing the sea-wall.
Subsequently legislation has established
the principle that when the owners OF
the l 900 acres ge unable to bear the
whole cost Of maintaining the embank-
ment the proprietors of the remaining
1000 acres should come TO the assist
ance Of their neighbors. What the
amount Of this assurance should be has
been furiously debated by the land
owners for some months. II the nee
essary works are not completed before
the return of winter the labor of two
centuries will be wasted. Pal Mall

It Broke Her Down.


In one of the Justices courts the

ever, to do his best, when the charge
was read to the defendant. The wife

A Well Punished Thief.

A very daring pick-pocket was given
lesson in Park-row recently that be
will not be likely 10 forget in q week
or two. 1t was at about O'Clock, and
the latest news from Washington had
just been posted on the Times bulletin
board. Several hundred persons were
pressing eagerly up 10 the corner, and
people were packed in close. Among
the searchers for news was rather
short but well made gentleman, dressed
in brown suit, and with gold watch
chain stretched across his vest. He
was nearly in the middle of the crowd,
with his eyes upon the bulletin-board,
when young man of about twenty,
paSsably well dressed, but with the
lool; of thief on his face, passed up to
him and grabbed his watch-chain. He
gave it a heavy jerk aud the chain or
the vest gave way, but the watch re-
NAMED in the vest pocket. The watch's
owner, feeling the thug, saw the thief
with the chain in his hand, and, in
stead OF Selling him, he drew back his
right hand and gave him a blow
squarely in the face that staggered him.
He followed this Immediately with q
well-directed cleft hander'' that sent
the thief reeling through the crowd.
The owner of the watch followed him
and seized him by the coat-collar. The
thief at this turned and tried TO wrench
himself loose. He no sooner turned
his head, however, than the gentleman
gave him two more lessons in honesty,
one with the right fist, the other with
the left The thief was very good
squirmer, and he at length succeeded
in freeing himself and ran across Park
row followed by about hundred men.
In front of the upper end of the Post
Office some one with conspicuous
white hat, who did not care to stop the
thief, watched his chance and gave him
n singing blow in the face. The pick
pocket was about half way across
Broadway when an officer in citizens
clothes seized him and retained his
hold. AS the thief was marched back
across Park-row he looked as il he had
been run through threshing-machine.
He was locked up.-N. Y. Times.

CAS- between Miller and Lapham, the
latter is much the better man. Were it
a mere question of merit, he should have
been chosen at once. Miller is one of
the most narrow minded of monopolists,
who believes IN protection to his wood.

the contrary, though not heavy states
man, Is gentleman of fairly liberal
views and not known as an intriguer or
trickster even in his own interests. Be-
tween him and Conkling, however, a
wide gulf has opened where formerly

the presumptuous Congressman for dar.

BI-METALLIsM.
Probability of Its Adoption by the
Civilized Countries of Europe
and America.

A reporter of the Washington Post had
an.interview with ex-senator Howe, re-
Gently returned from the Paris Monetary
Conference. Mr.. Howe said that although
no direct results had been reached, the
conference had been of value in that it
had brought the question of bi-metallism
prominently before the public and ex-
cited public interest in it. As to the at
titude of the representatives of the ma
tions in the conference he said: 1.-THE
Belgian representative was there as
strong monometallist; so also were the
representatives of Sweden, Norway
and Switzerland The commission
ers representing Russia, Austria,
Italy and Spain inclined strong
ly to bi metallism. The attitude
of Great Britain was the principal obsta-
Gle we had to contend with. Her repre-
sentatives were in favor of the double
standard, but were inhibited from com
hitting the nation to it. The Ministry
opposed bi-metallism, and they did it;
not because they do not favor the dou
BILE standard, or because they want to
keep silver out of the coinage, but be-
cause they have other important business
before them, and feel that they can put
day. The matter, however, has been the
subject of discussion in financial and
commercial circles in Great Britain, and
strong sentiment has been found in
favor of bi-metalism."
with regard to Germany" continued
Mr.. Howe, cher representatives pointed
to the action taken by her in 1878 in
adopting the single gold standard, and
said they did not see any necessity for
impeaching the propriety of that move.
Still they are not opposed to silver, and
are only waiting for England. If the
latter country comes to adopt the double
standard they will join with her will
ingly and gladly"
Mr.. Howe stated further that the gold
coin held in reserve by the Bank of
France was even less than onethird of
the entire metallic reserve, as had been
stated; also that the prospects of Italy's
placing her new loan, on which she pro-
posed to resume specie payments, were
good.
AS to the probability of a general re-
turn of the nations to the double or BIZ
metallic standard, Mr.. Howe expressed
himself very hopeful His attention be-
ing called to an opinion expressed soon
after the last monetary conference, by
one of the United States Commissioners,
that the United States should not wait
for other nations to take the initiative
in the matter of return to the double
standard, he said: Il would be I'M
willing to see the United States start off
on such a course alone, or even accom-
panied by France. 1t would be boot
less step unless we were sure of the CO.
operation of England and Germany"

CoukIing and His Band.

Mr.. Conkling's bugle blast to MS
Spartan band, as he calls the stubborn
faction in the New York Assembly, who
wore his collar so long and so shame
lessly, has all the ringing bombast char
acteristic of that gentleman's best efforts.
For answering devotion to an arbitrary
capricious and vain master the Conkling
contingent deserve fair need Of praise,
but their devotion was like that OF the
spaniel that fawns on its master whether
he smite or earess it. Had Mr. -Conk-
ling been fighting for principle his fail
ure would have been far more glorious
than the triumph of his foes, and the
staunchness of his followers might have
rises to the dignity of heroism.
Allowing the most sordid motives to
have dictated Robertson's nomination,
the confirmation of the appointment by
the Senate made it res Gdjudtcdtd, from
which there was no appeal save on proof
Of RObertson's mismanagement of the
office Mr. Conkling took his stand on
Senatorial courtesy" which, as he in
terprets and expounds it, makes Sena-
tor the author and judge of appoint
ments for his own State, a thing not
contemplated by the Constitution and
not insisted on even by the Republican
party, which trod so ruthlessly on con-
stitutional provisions and restrictions.
Mr.. Conkling's fight was against law
and public interest, and it was for this
that he was condemned.
Had he simply protested in a manly
way against the disposal made of the
New York custom house, he might
have gotten the sympathy, which is
given to ''the under dog in the fight, as
the late Mr.. Hayes puts it. He chose
to fling down the trust with which the
people of New York had honored him
and asked them to insult the President
of the United States by sending him
back to the Senate. The contest his
folly set on foot was the most disgrace
full in our history. 1t has ended in the
election of two men to represent the
great State of New York unworthy of
her history and less fitted for their posi-
tions than hundreds of her citizens who
were ignored.
No doubt it gratifes the vanity Of Mr..
Conkling to see himself succeeded by
pigmy, and it is perhaps this that leads
him to predict that in the near future the
zeal of his followers will be approved.
Idols thrown down are rarely set up, and
however Mr.. COnkling might fare at the
hands of his friend Arthur, should fate
rule that he shall take the place of Gar
field, just now he is a rather picturesque
remnant of a fallen tower" as the
immortal Micawber would say.
The humbled boss makes an indifferent
martyr. There was no principle in his
fight. He cannot pose as a hero. He
fought for unworthy ends. All that can
be said of him is that he was a daring
politician and a despotic boss. His
daring overreaehed itself, and his sway
has departed. He professed to believe
his friend Grant ga child of destiny"
Perhaps he INDUCES similar views as to
himself. The greatest living Ameri-
can" however, is only interesting as
curiosity. 1t looks as though it would
be that way with COnkling. At any
rate the Spartan band" will probably
fetch up with the 1906"
