profits ON the silver Doilar.

On the 22d of last December, the Director of the
Mint submitted to the Secretary Of the Treasury
statement showing tho profits on the coinage of
silver during the fiscal years 1870, 1880 and 1881
and the disposition Of them. with the request that
ho would designate competent accountant 10
verify 1t. The Secretary designated Mr. William
Sherer, chief Of the principal division of the As.
ss,ant Trensurer's ofice at New York, to make the
made his report to the Secretary, which fully aud
exactly vorines tho directors statement. Mr.
Shprer was assisted by Mr.. Thomas Rathbone,
chief of tho bookkeepers division of the Second
Auditors Office. The report is mn able ohe, and is
accompanied by thirteen tabulated statements,
showing the silver purchased, It's cost, and dispo.
stjon the profits on the coinage, and their dispo-
snon, &c. Mr.. Shorer shows The impossibllity of
divcrting any portion OF he profits except through
colmsion of several independent commissioned,
aud bonded officers, and says, In conclusion that
from the facts asccrtaincd by the examination of
this account for the period under consideration,

The assertion by Russia of the right to
prohibit the residence at st. Petersburg
and other cities of the Empire of citi-
zens of the United States who are Jews,
ON the ground that the Russian law denies
to all native Jews such right Of residence,
can only be sustained on grounds pre-
cisely similar to those upon which the
British government and Minister Lowell
argued the right of that nation to i'm
prison American citizens without trial or
definite charge Of wrong-doing. An out
rage upon the person of citizen of the
United States by a foreign country cannot
be excused on the ground that the laws
of that country justify it, or that it treats
certain of its own subjects no better. OF
course our citizens are subject to the
municipal law of whatever country they
may choose to visit or soiourn in. But
that fact does not release the foreign
country from the obligations of interna-
tional law or the strong pressure of the
general comfy between nations. England
paid us fifteen millions for being misled
on this subject by Earl Russell during our
civil war. He claimed that as the muni-
cipal law of England did not forbid the
fitting out of Confederate cruisers from
her shores or their supply at her ports,
therefore she could not be called to ac-
count for permitting it, This should
serve as warning against attempting to
defend international wrongs by an appeal
to municipal law. Naturalized Jews in
Russia and naturalized Irishmen in Great
Britain are not to be outraged because
Russian or English law permits it. They
are TO be treated as the laws of nations
give us the right to demand

Uncle Sam Should Keep House.


We always feel gratifed to see the pas
sage of bills providing for the erection of
necessary public buildings for Govern
ment use. The United States has un-
bounded resources, but this does not
justify the extravaganza of hiring public
offices. There is not a business man in
the country who would pay rent for his
business place in excess of what would
be the interest on the money required
for the erection of building like the
one so rented. Yet this is the prevail
ing policy Of the Government. Ifastate-
ment were to be called for by Congress
of all the public offices and other build
ings rented for the use of the United
States, accompanied by clearly proven
statement of the value of the property
80 leased, it would probably be found
that the money paid in rent is double
the amount that the interest would be
on the cost of construction of buildings
to take the place of the leased property.
Here in Washington the owners of pri-
vate property are reaping great benefits
from this unbusiness-like policy. Take
the Pension Office. The Government
could have bought the building itpartially
occupies at a sum, the interest on which
would have been very much less than tho
annual rent it pays. But no. 1t would
have been benefit to Governor Shep-
herd. The purchase money would have
paid off heavy mortgage, and left some-
thing to the enterprising man who had
reclaimed the Quagmire in which Wash
ington was located up to1S73. The price
asked was fair and reasonable, but Con-
gress was ordered off by one or two
newspaper correspondents out of spite to
Shepherd, and Congress accordingly
"moved on" The present city post
Office building is unfit for occupancy,
and inconyeniently located. 1t is off on
a side-track from the main line of travel.
How can any Senator or Representative
excuse himself for delaying a change into
q building owned by the Government?
Why should private parties anywhere be
favored by leases to the Government at a
manifest loss to the public treasury?
Uncle Sam is rich enough to keep house
Instead of living in furnished rooms.
Those who are rich enough to build do
not hire when they have to pay more
rent than interest on building would be.

Every person who has paid the
slightest attention to the subject knows
that when the washings of town, or

criminal neglect of timely drainage
