edited with consideration for the warm
weather. for, except two very interesting
articles on ga Manual Training School

stories and poems. There are no less than
six short. bright stories, most Of them
with Q humorous cast: "Ghosted." (by
DIR. J.. W.. Gally,)" Ph@bus or
Cupid" "Ourrituok Joe," "The Let

THE SILVER QUESTION IN
ENGLAND.

Under the head of "The Money
Market" the London World Of June 80
contains an article concerning Indian af-
fairs, in which is shown the loss that
Government is suffering from the de.
cline in silver and the necessity felt for
legislation on the question. That paper
says: After carefully including all pos
sible sources of revenue, taking credit
for an increase Of $50, 900 pounds in the
opium receipts, and placing expenditure
at the lowest possible figure, the Indian
Budget closes with an estimated surplus
Of lS2, 600 pounds. Provision Is made
for drawing on India to the extent Of
Is, 800, 600 pounds on balance, at the
calculated exchange of Is. Cd. per rupee.
Last week, however, the Indian Govern
ment sold bills at Is. sgd. per rupee, a
rate Of loss which, even should there
be no further fall in the price of silver
during the year, would at once convert
the estimated surplus into a deficit OF
234, 900 pounds. We need not say more
at present. We are OF the eve of a
bitter fight in the constituencies, and it
would be bootless to endeavor to fix the
attention of the politicians or our read.
ers ON the subject of the India Budget.
But whichever party may be the victor,
xbn o,ostsop of TnI,op onrropou oannnt
any longer be overlooked. 1t must be
faced, at whatever trouble and whatever
cost, if we are to preserve our Indian de.
tendency from social and financial dis.
~turbances, which it may tax the resources
of the whole Empire to overcome. The
following letter places the Indian aspect
of the silver question in a sufficiently
true light:
June %.
SIR: With reference to the Indian
Budget. 1 would beg to point out, with
your permission, some salient points bear
ing on the silver question.
In his statement to the House. Mr..
Howard places "the expenditure Of the
pEcb6ub year q v tOpOuOsUOU POunu5s
Respecting exchange, he adds: 1.-THE
seriousness of the question of exchange
would be realized when 1T was remem-
bered that every fall Of one penny in the
value OF the rupee represented to India
an increased expenditure of over / ZOO. 900
pounds" Therefore we are led to assume,
with exchange for the year at an average
of Is. SID, that the difference between
this hgure and par of 2s. las represented
by 6hd.) means that India would pay
some $500. 900 pounds for the privilege of
being a corn factor in this country. In
other words, for every "shilling" che
raises she pays out Of it one penny in
"usury."
After a decade Of unprecedented losses
1t Ia surely time to listen to the voice
of India speaking through her Financial
Minister. Sir Auckland Colvin, who, at q
public meeting held at Simla on 2G May
last, in the presence Of the Viceroy, de-
livered a speech. in which he referred to
the evils arising from the depreciation
in silver, and urged the adoption of BIZ
metallism in England"
Who can stand to be bled the longest
America, India, or this country? Yours
faithfully, MEMO.

DIARY OF A MURDERED BISHOP.
The Last Days of Bishop Hannington, whs
 Was Killed. in Central Africa.

The diary of Bishop Huntington, who was put 10 death by order of King Mwansa of Uganda, Africa. has been published. Giving the details ot the last week of his life, he describes the arrival of his party at Lubwas, where the chief, at the head of thou. sand troops, demanded ten guns and three barrels of powder. The chief asked Bishop Huntington to remain with him for day, and the latter complied. While taking walk the Bishop was attacked by twenty natives. He struggled with his assail- ants, but became weak and faint, and was dragged violently long distance by the legs. When his prosecutors halted they stripped and robbed him, and imprisoned him in noisome hut full of vermin and decaying bananas. While he was lying there ill and help less, the chief and his hundred wives came out of curiosity to feast their eyes on him.
 On the next day he was allowed to return to his own tent, where, though still i'll, he felt more comfortable. He was stlll guarded, however, by natives. He remained in bed during the fol. lowing days, parties of the chiefs wives, out of cursosity, coming daily to see him. He was allowed to send messages to his friends. but he be- lieved they were intercepted. On the seventh day he writes that at night the place swarmed with vermin; that the guards were drunk and noisy, and thai he was unable to sleep. At las, he became delirious. On the eighth day, Oct. ao, he was conscious. His entries on this day are brief. "No news. A hyena howled all night. Hope he will not have me yet" Il is believed that shortly after writing this he was taken out and put to death. Throughout the week there are frequent entries referring to the comfort he derived from reading the Psalms.

SILVER bullion has advanced in the London market from A pence an ounce in July to A s-8 in October. The best opinion of financial writers is that silver has reached its lowest point. In I871 silver was worth Go I-8 pence in London and at 43 in July, nearly one-third of its value has disappeared. It has recovered one fourth of the loss, but is about one fifth below the standard of equality with gold on the basis of I5.S8 to T.. There is general disposition now in gold circles to compromise with silver on a basis that will leave the latter the status of money within certain limit. It is proposed, for example, to coin no gold in England below the sovereign, none in the Latin Union below the a5 franc piece, none in Ger many below 10 marks. and none in the United States below five dollars. This would employ about Sr. o,ooo, 900 of subsidiary coins, and the in. creased volume in circulation would naturally tend to an advance on prices. --Ex.

J.REHrx's TORCH.

New York City, November al THE torch tha. Liberty holds high above the bay biased ou, last night and food oi white light was thrown around the s.s:u. thousands of yards from Bedlow's Islind. The goddess revealed her perfect outline, but was not sharply defined. Even at this distance the arm that holds the torch was in shadow. H. a mile the pedestal loomed up bright as it is at stone's throw, but the head and arm had disappeared. and there was 9 shadow over the statue one mile dis tant. The glory of the pedestal eclipsed that of the figure. Al the Battery, which is two and a quarter miles from Bedlow's Island, the spectator who had not scea the god. dess by day was not able to make out her outlines. Lieutenant Willis, who invented the system Of lighting, said last evening that the lighting of the outside of the statue is in an experi. mental state and he expects to improve it until it will reveal the figure perfect ly. Whether it will be possible to illuminase so lirge a surface of bronze and produce a sharp effect wilho ut painting the bronze to light color IS question to be solved. A, early as six clock last night there was s steady stream of people going Bat teryward. l. met and bumped into and jostled the crowd that was nov ing homeward from work, until the sidewalks in Bro4iway We're jimmed full and oyerfowed into the gutters. There was an open place kept cleared in the rear of the Battery wall where the fireworks were to be let of. The crowd as it arrived dashed vainly against strong cordon of policemen, which had beel drawn around this reserved space and was jammed in close against the line and, quickly spread back in compact mass. Just before the hour to light up the statue, steamers silently arrived in the dark ness and took up positions in a great semi-circle around the island from tn, southwest to the northeast. First one steamer set up screeching, then
 another, until there was an unearlhl, rumpus, so deafening that people or the island had to yell to make each other understand what they were say. ing. As the tiny spark in the torch grew and grew until it fi,shed acros: the bay, shower of rockets. bombs fiery fountains of green, yellow, blu, and white, with snapDing fiery ser pents, sputtered aboat at intervals in the air. The display on the Battery did not begin until the two other spectacles had closed. IL openec with a magnificent flight of I,o,c rockets, all let off in a bunch. This was followed by flight of firework, similar to those on Governors anc Bedlow's Islands, with the exception that a long starry procession of bal
 looms made to represent the stars and stripes and the tricolor, was sen
 trailing high in the air over Long Is
 land way, dropping red and greer
 fire-balls as they went. The sorc'
 was kept alive all night. It will b
 lighted every night for week. The
 present system is only on trial fo
 that time.
