SILVER COINAGE IN CHINA.

Secretary Blaine has Just transmitted
to the treasury department a dispatch
from Minister DENLY in China, which has
q very important bearing upon the finan-
cial situation of the world, and particu-
larry upon the question of silver Minis
ter DENLY says:
"A proclamation has been issued by
the Tientsin and Ho-kien Taotais that
made By order of the late Vicerov Chang
are legal tender in any part of China.
The new coins have full imperial sane
ton. The proclamation was issued by
order of the Vicerov of Chilli, who is
also superintendent of the northern
trade All merchants and others are
ordered to receive these coins at their
standard value
1t IS hardly possible to overestimate
the Importance of this step. Minister
DENLY very truly says that it will work
a financial revolution in China. Al
though we have been in the habit of
thinking of China as a silver-standard
country there has been no standard of
silver considered as coin Silver has been
considered and dealt with only-a mere
article of merchandise, whether it was
Mexican dollars or trade dollars, or
what not. Now, however, China pro-
poses to make her own silver coin, and
to make it a legal tender by operation OF
law Silver Will be exalted from the
rank of a commodity to that of money.
An obvious result of this action.
though possibly not an immediate result
will be 10 enhance the price of silver bull

SOME PERTINENT QUERIES

Editor of the Caledonian:
Nav l ask the CALIFORNIAN few ques-
tions
Surprising few of our Vermont towns
had sent good women to Montpelier to
represent their interests in the Legisla-
ture. could they have been admitted to
seats
If not, why not?
If those women had been admitted to
seats Is 1t likely on that last night of the
session they would have pitched in =
and helped on the drunken row, strewing
books, breaking windows and destroy
ing property generally
If not, why not !!
Did this reform" Legislature of 1890
pass any measure TO exempt Vermont
women, who are taxpayers, from being
taxed TO pay expenses of that last night s
work
If not, why not? INQUIRER,

THE DIPPER AND THE SEA.

He held a dipper in his hand,
And braveIy did he ply,
With all the strength at his command
To dip the ocean dry
And all the ships that sail" says he,
And go from land to land,
On the dry bottom of the sea,
Shall sink into the sand.
The waves are powerless to resist,
Through me fulfilled shall be
The words of the evangelist
There shall be no more sea
And so he plies his dipper fast,
And does not cease to try,
As long rs strength and life shall last,
To dip the ocean dry
And like this mailman even we.
With little dippers try,
To drain the vastness of the sea,
And dip the ocean dry.
The sea of knowledge with its din
Before us breaks. and We
We thrust our little dippers in.
And think we've drained the sea.
And bound within a narrow creed,
Shut in by walls and towers,
We deem we have no further need,
The truth of God is ours.
Then let the endless babblers be,
Who fUr more wisdom cry;
We've thrust our dippers in the sea,
And drained the ocean dry.

ONE OF SPEAKER REEDS STORIES

Mr. Reed tells story to illustrate his
views as to the situation of the republi-
can party.
I'VE are like the man up in Maine he
said. This man was charged with a
good many offences against the peace
and morality of the neighborhood and
so his neighbors got together and gave
him horsewhipping and ducked him i'll
horse pond and tarred and feathered
him. After all this was over, and the
man had cleaned the slime and tar and
picked the feathers off himself he showed
up one day bright and smiling. There's
nothing the matter with me, he said
I'm just as good man as l ever was,
and all here, safe and sound, and feeling
first rate, though | must own my moral
tone has been lowered little"

The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1890-06-12

This is essentially a money making
and money loving age. Men have
worshipped gold in all periods of the
worlds history, but never has there
been shown snch earnestness in the
pursuit of wealth, such disposition to
regard the accumulation of money as
the great purpose of life, as has been
exhibited in this country during the
past twenty years.
Il is well, then, for men to be re-
minded from time to time that there
is something more to make life worth
the hvlngs that duty, patriotism and
unsel6sh devotion to humanity are as
high above the mad whirl of specu-
lation and the noisy tumult of barter
and sale as the mountain is above the
valley at its foot
It is we'll TO have the attention of
the public called from time to time to
the fact that money is not everything
in this world. It Is right and proper
that man should be diligent in bus
iness, and that in legitimate manner
he should seek to amass wealth, but
men should not be so immersed in the
whirl OF business as to forget that
there are qualities that should be
tostered in the soul, principles that
should be kept in view to guide and
dirict lite in the paths Of usefulness,
duty aud honor.

Lusting After Lottery Loot.

From Colfax Chronicle.I
In another column we publish
communication from Mr.. John P.
Hadnot, favoring an acceptance of
the lottery company's money. We
look upon such a proposition with
horror. 1t is as though million
aire were to offer to cover virgins
shame and hide her dishonor by the
liberal bestowal of gold and silver.
How can the sons of fair Louisiana
discuss with patience such propo-
sition? Mr.. Hadnot's arguments
and labored reasoning are worthy Of
better cause. Surely he cannot
hold that we should bow down and
worship this golden calf that e'thrift
may follow fawning." His argu-
ments are specious and will not bear
discussion, for the reason that he ar.
CUES from false and untenable prem
Uses. If he is true Democrat, and
favors the party's fulfllment of its
promises as announced in it's platform
of principles, that alone should de-
eide him. But when he deliberately
contends that there is no harm in
gambling and robbing as performed
by the lottery company, he is at va
rance with common decency, to say
nothing of the higher morals and
code of ethics recognized and enforc-
ed in every State of the Union except
Louisiana
The poor mouth he puts up for
the State is but rehash and recital
of an untrue condition of affairs,
prepared by retained advocates and
extensively published by newspapers
employed in the interest of the lot
terry company. The facts he states
as true are not warranted by the re-
ports of our sworn Estate officials.

On the contrary, Louisiana has rea-
son to boast Of her growing indie
pendence and prosperity. This has
been so amply discussed and proven
that we forbear to repeat. We can
not believe the people of Louisiana
are going to allow themselves to be
trifed with by the lottery and its
henchmen; nor do we believe that
any considerable number of our citi-
zens are going to be carried away by
any such short-sighted policy as that
suggested by our correspondent
State pride, morality, religious senti-
ment, common honesty, political
principle, intelligence, self-respect and
love of posterity, all forbid the con-
summation of this monstrous de
bauching and prostitution of great
commonwealth.
