Silver all Right.

The New York Tribune last week
printed IN editorial upon the results Of
the silver act" in the course Of which II
says;
at should be observed that the course
VI events since tho silver act went into
eject has been such ~ TO remove much Of
the apprehension previously felt regarding
its effect. The price Of silver has been
rapidly advanced.
THE London market has como to depend
30 greatly upon the New York price, that,
at least for tho present, tho payments Of
the treasury control the whole world. Tho
Cup between gold and silver was about
thirty-six cents rer ounce, and il now only
about ten cents, and II Ii natural that
there should be much less apprehension Of
u decline to the ailvcr basis among those
who expect the advance 10 price to DO
permanent
As yot there Is no proof known to the
public that the production Of silver has
increased. and without an increase In its
production, silver bullion il likely 70 DO
sustained In price by such purchases ~
tho United States is now making. Appre-
hension may appear again II Il becomes
known that tho output OF silver has ma
tcrially enlarged, but for tho present 1t
has almost entirely vanished. What harm
tho measure may possibly do In tho future
remains to be soon, but It's visible effects
thus far have certainly no. been harmful

that II he left Oh the train indicated by tho

The consul, therefore, urged him to takc
the train which lcI, In half IN hour for
Germany and take chances OF getting
there, for in no other way could he escape
the vigilance Of tho Russian officers. He
took tho consuls advice, hurried TO the
train and was SO fortunate as to be In

so when his passport was examined at tho
boundary tho hour for which it was good
was not noticed, and he crossed tho line
