SAMOA is having her currency troubles as
well as the United States. II seems that a
German firm imported lot Of old and de-
preciated silver coin from Wurtenburg and
other small prncipalities, and wanted them
TO be taken at gold value for taxes This
caused considerable dissatisfaction among
the natives and the question is still unde-
cded. although the German Government has
given notice that it will be very angry if the
debased coins are not taken at par This
leads a contemporary to remark that the posi-
tion of the Samoans is somewhat different
from that which we occupy. We also have
been notified by the silver mine-owners of the
West that they viii be very angry if we do

should make q similar demand.

one Of the most striking illustrations Of
the hardness with which the Mckinley tariff
bears upon the condition Of the man of mod
crate means is contained in tho following ex-
tract from q letter which a subscriber Of the
Baltimore Sun addressed a few days ago TO
that paper in relation of his own personal
experience in that city: Better than by any
argument was il demonstrated to me that the
Mckinley tariff does touch the pocket
Of the poor man and increase the cost Of

They told her they would have new ones in
stock in few days, but that they would cost

The Municipal Election.

The registration for the city election.
which takes place on next Tuesday, was
finished last night. The registration is re-
markedly small. The people do not take as
much interest in municipal matters as they
ought to. Many of those who take no
interest in tho city election are always the
first to complain when unfit men are chosen
to manage the clty's affairs. Perhaps if
they should take an active interest in
municipal politics they would have less rea-
son to complain.
In view of the vast interests which Sa-
vannah has at stake, and the necessity for a
progressive, and, at the same time, econom-
ical administration of her affairs, it is aston
ishing that SO few Of her citizens appear to
be interested in the city election. Not until
the tax burden bears a great deal heavier
upon them and there are evidences of
neglect and indifference in public matters
will they be aroused to the Importance Of
taking part in municipal politics. Those who
are chosen to fill the offices are deprived OF
much Of the satisfaction which naturally
arises from being elected to places of honor,
and their feeling Of responsibility is lessened,
by the small vote cast Every citizen
should feel it not only his privilege, but mis-
duty, to vote in q municipal election. The
city cannot be prosperous without good gov
ernment, and it is not likely TO have good
government long if her people are indiffer
emit TO their obligations as citizens

against smoking were very strict.

four times day to stand upon a chest and lean

Bluned by a Dummy.

The Trinidad Coli Chronicle relates an Incl
dent OF Joe Simpson, an old-timer, who recently
died in that city. Joe owned q piece of land
near town. on which he one day found a CORDS

He promptly drove them of with a 4-caliber
revolver. warrant was sworn out for his
arrest, but the deputy who att mpted TO serve

Anticipating a visit from a posse Of men,
Simpson took an old suit Of clothes. stuffed it
with grass, placsd the dummy in a chair at the
door OF his cabin, surmounted the figure with a
wide brimmed sombrero and arranged with
broom TO give the innocent efiigy the appear

one who might approach.

Frances Flourishine Finances.

Nothing could more strongly demonstrate
the financial strength of France than the
ready facility with which she placed her
recent great treasury loan and the manner
in which it was placed. Aside from the
10000, 900 francs taken in London the loan
was taken up almost exclusively at home
among actual investors. Spectators were
barred out so far as possible, and the bonds
were placed chiefly amoag smell holders all
over the republic. This distribution of it is
regarded as one of the browning features of
the success of the loan. Small investors
were given the preference, because the gov
ernment wished to keep its securities out of
the hands Of gambling spectators, so as to
maintain an actual and steady value OF
conservative growth.
Beside the advantage offered In placing
the now issue at 9265, while the current
price Of 8 per cent "rentes" Is 95 80, in
vestors had further inducement i'll che
terms of payment arranged. Under the
adopted plau Is francs per share was made
payable on application and Is more on
allotment, while the remainder is made
payable IN four successive installments of
which the last falls due in July, 1884, Or
all may be paid In cash at the option of
the subscribers.
1t is said that the bsurse subscriptions
have been the smallest ever known in tae
history OF French finance. So far as posi-
BILE the bourse was crowded cut in favor Of
bona fide investors OF small means. Thus
the bourse holdings become so reduced in
volume a. to render that Dangerously potent
institution wholly powerless to manipulate
the market value Of the securities, which ia
exceedingly fortunate for the country.
Probably no nation on earth has a popu-
lation moro buoyantly hopeful nor fer,
wildly patriotic than France. With her ma
tional debt in the hands of such a people
the financial strength and security of the re-
public is established for many years to
