Tbe New Time Standards.

II = Thought that the new time stan
dards will be adopted at the meeting OF
railway managers in Chicago next
Wednesday. It is probable that the new
system. being both ingenious and simple
will meet the approval Of the public as 1t
has Of very large majority Of railway
managers. The New Orleans Pjc0y"He
explains the new system a, follows;
..The railroad time in tho United states
and the Dominion of Canada viii be four,
five. six. seven or eight hours behind Lon
don Greenwich time. The minute hand
of watch. if it is set by the time OF any
railroad. will be correct Tor every fall-
road. and probably no confusion would
ever occur from any difference Of hours.

by the several roads.
The KEYS TO the standards are the hNe
meridians. 90 -. 90. Jos, l20 degrees, west
from Greenwich. the 90 degree standard
coincidiu. with the local time AT New or
leans. As every degree of longitude
counts four minutes in time, New Orleans
bcin. five geographical minutes west OF
the Goth meridian. is hours and 20 min
utcs behind Greenwich time, which Is
near enough to SIX hours for convenience.
Denver. in Colorado, is b geographIcSI
seconds east of the l05th meridian. or
about ~ seconds in time faster than
that standard. Philadelphia Is 10 geo
graphical minutes west Of the 18th me-
ridiau. or forty seconds in time
slower Consequently the three time
standards which nearly all OF our
railroads Will adopt will be the local
time of New Orleans, Denver and Phlla-
delphia. The roads on the Pacific Coast
will use the time of l2o degrees
and those IN Nova scotia and
New Brunswick that of go degrees
but those times will govern only a
small part of the milcaSe-m all about
1000 miles-of the two countries. The
substitution Of five standards-and for
the great body of the roads only three
standards the utter confusion OF fifty
or more standards now in use would be
an advantage even if the beauty OF abso-
lutte uniformity of minutes were not
added"

III Is generally known. of course. that
the government makes yeJv large profit
from the coinage of the silver dollar, but
the public has little knowledge of the
amount of this profit annually. \ late
statement of the Director ri ths Mint
shows that for the nv, lars since
July ]. 1875, the enormous sum OF
SI-.342.ll3 O2 was realized. Nearly
all this profit has gone direct into the
Treasury. for after subtracting the vast
age. cost Of coinage, transportation and
other expenses there Is left a net profit i'm
standard dollars and subsidiary coin over
bullion value, at the respective dates Of
purchase, Of over $16.S0O,OOO. This is
eoual 10 an average net profit for the five
wears Of s.. 3GO, 900 annually.
The profits from the coinage OF the
baser coins, in proportion to their value
Is still Larger. Last year, the profit from
the coinage of nickels and One-cent pieces,
AT the Philadelphia Mint alone was about
81 O00. 900. II is thought that the Direc-
tor Is opposed to further coinage of the
silver dollar. and that in his annual re-
mort he will recommend the repeal of the
compulsory silver coinage clause. The
demand for the silver dollar is not so
great as it was even in the South.

The Tax committee were in session in the Town Agents office last evening and the fol- lowing appropriations were considered: Of Thomas filling, of the firm of G. & T. filling, for partial abatement of assessment for a sewer in front of their premises on Water street. The claim was that the sewer was of no practical use from the fact that it was three feet above the bottom of their cellar and could not be used by them. He said also that they had private sewer in rear of their premises which they had used for many years and which they proposed to ex- tend some 250 feet.
 Thomas H. Fulton appeared and asked that the assessment on his property on De- witt street for the widening and extension of the same be abated on the ground that the extension improvement had never been made.
 Representatives of Grace church on Blatchley avenue asked to be relieved from the assessment for the extension of Exchange street.
