Pursuant to provision of the diplomatic and
consular appropriation act, approved July /,
1886, the estimates submitted bv the secretary
OF state for the maintenance Of the consular
service have been recast on the basis of salaries
for all officers to whom such allowance is deemed
advisable. Advanta .e has been taken of this to
redstribute the salaries Of the officers now ap-
propriated for in accordance with the work per-
formed, the importance Of the representative
duties Of the incumbent. and the cost of living
at each post The last consideration has been
too often lost sight of In the allowance hereto
fore made. The compensation which may suffice
for the decent maintenance of a worthy and Ca
pable officer in position of Onerous and repre-
sentative trust at post readily accessible and
where the necessaries of life are abundant and
cheap, may prove an Inadequate pittance in
distant lands where the better part of a years
pay is consumed in reaching the post of
duty, and where the comforts of ordinary
civilized existence can only be obtained with
difficulty and at exorbitant cost trust that IN
considering the submitted schedules no mis-
taken theory Of economy will perpetuats q sys-

ing some mode Of trustworthy inspection and
report OF the manner in which the consulates
are conducted. In the absence OF such reliable
information efficiency can scarcely be rewarded
or it's opposite corrected. Increasing competi-
tion in trade has directed attention to the value
OF the consular reports printed by the depart
ment of state and the efforts Of the government
to extend the practical usefulness Of these re-
ports have created wider demand for them at

In an interview with the Bismarck Trib-

governorship?'

"When!"

more before the actual change takes place"

mo. The president has treated me with
the greatest consideration, as has the Sec
retary OF the interior. I go out voluntarily,
but go because it seems impossible for q
Republican governor to fairly represent the
public sentiment OF Dakota without SEEM
ing ungra tsful to the party in power at
Washington, by whose sufferance he must
hold the place."
''Is it not a bad time for change-so
near the Assem- bling OF the legislature?"
No. Ordinarily it would be difficult; but
matters will be SO arranged upon my re-
tirement that the way will be very simple.
I expect to send message to the legisla-
ture and submit all the reports OF the ter
ritorial officers before going out. There
will be pretty plain sailing after that"
As to his plan for the future, the governor
had very little to say. He will, in all
probability, return to the field OF iourn-
alisn.

THE YEARS COINAGE.

During the fiscal year ended June 80, 1856,
there were coined under the compulsory silver
coinage act Of 1873 9,s3S, $40 silver dollars,
aud the cost Of the silver used In such coinage
was S23,44S, 96O.O1. There had been Coined up
to the close of the previous fiscal year. under the
provisions Of the law, 2O3 ss2. .554 silver dollars
and on Dec l, 1886, the total amount of such
coinage was $247. 31,549. The director of the
mint reports that at the time Of the passage Of
the law of 1873 directing this coinage the in
trinsic value Of the dollars then coined was 944
cents each, and that on the 31st of July, 1856,
the price Of silver reached the lowest stage ever
known, so that the intrinsic or bullion price Of
our standard silver dollar at that date was less
than ~ cents. The price of silver on Nov.
30 last was such az to make the dollars
intrinsically worth 7S cents each. These differ
ences in value of the coins represent the

coinage by the government enhances the price
Of that commodity or secures uniformity in its
value Every fair and legal effort has been made
by the treasury department to distribute this
currency among the people, The withdrawal Of
United States treasury notes Of small denomi-
nations and the Issuing Of small silver coins has
been resorted to in the endeavor to accomplish
this result in obedience to the will aud senti-
ments Of the representatives OF the people in
these coins, or certificates representing them,

have $79, ,464.345 in the treasury, as against

the necessity OF more vault room for the pur-
pose of storing these silver dollars which are
not needed for circulation hy the people.
SUSPENSION URGED.
have seen no reason to change the views ex-
pressed in my last annual message on the sub
tect OF compulsory coinage, and again urge its
suspension on all the grounds contained in my
former recommendation. reinforced by the sig
nificant increase Of oCr gold expectations dur
ing the last year. as appears by the compara-
tive statemeht herewith presented, and for the
further reasons that the more this currency is
distributed among the people the greater be-
comes our duty to protect 1t from disaster: that
we now have abundance for all our needs, and
that there seems but little propriety In bnilding
vaults to store such currency when the only

More than half the troubles in this
world arc imaginary. The real noun
tains we must cross are not many.
The most of us are like tho little girl
who sat crying on the floor. After a
while she stopped and seemed buried in
thought. Looking up suddenly she said {:
Mamma, what was l crying about?"
Because l wouldn't let you so down

"Oh. yes" and she set up another
howl.
So VIC older babies busy ourselves
about the merest tribes, and get into
complaining habits. about half the time
forgetting exactly what it is we are so up
set about, yet going right on in the same
melancholy mood.
1t is all nonsense. Tho world Is what
We make it. II we want to be miserable
We can be, and We can find plenty of COM
pany, but II We want the sunshine we can
always find it, for it fills all Gods uni
