One thing Is certain, no matter what the fall
elections may indicate To the relative strength
and probable future prospects OF the two great
political parties of the country. If the people of
the United States had the opportunity to vote
squarely on the question, there would be an
overwhelming majority in favor of withdraw
ing the unwieldy paper-weight silver dollar, so
called. and the issuing of clean new small treas
ury notes, as formerly That the business of
the country should not have enough small cur
rency for its needs, and that what it has should
be inconvenient TO carry or too filthy for use in
order that few doctrinaires should be able to
experiment with their theories, Is simply in
tolerable. If public opinion had a fair chance
at the nuisance, the whole miserable muddle
with its originators and perpetrators, would be
buried out of sight in forty-eigh hours

The bureau reports which are now beginning
To appear, will furnish interesting reading for
November for those who like to keep track of
public affairs. Taken together they form q
continued story of seifgovernment that is well
worth following, day by day, through its sue
cessive chapters
Three of these reports have already appeared,
those of Gen. Hazen, Fifth Auditor Eickho
and director Of the mint Kimball. The chief
signal officer reports that the service Is in fair
state OF efficiency, is shown by the statistics
OF weather predictions, seven-eighths of which
have been verified. As was to be expected,
Gen. Hazen insists on the military character Of
the service, and so tar from cOuntenancing the
movement TO transfer it to civil auspices, urges
that Ii be treated by Congress an integral part
of the army.
Auditor Eichkof shows by his balance sheet
that our consular system Is nearly self-suppOrt-
ing In spite of the operation Of the Dingley act,
which abolished some of the burdensome fees
that were formerly collected. The expenses of
the service for the year were $50, 1873 and the
fees amounted to S791 ,345, leaving deficit of
$7S.S3S.
DIR. Kimball, the director Of the mint, exhibits
the progress the country Is making as a coiner
OF the precious metals. We keep the lead in
both gold and silver, Australia being second Is
To the former and Mexico coming close behind
in silver. India, which until recently has been
high among silver nations, has dropped signih-
cantly behind, leaving the United States and
Mexico the two chief users of that metal
According TO DIR. kimball, we now have $780,
100000 in gold and silver coin in this country,
of which the treasury owns S14S.342, 225 as q
