RUDYARD KIPPLING is a bright
writer, but after all he does not differ
widely from the average Englishman
He has Travelled from New York to
San Francisco, without stopping for
a day at any intermediate point; and
he thinks himself competent to criti-
else America and Americans, and
proceeds to do it; and what is worse
taste than that displayed by Kippling
who is after all only professional
writer engaged in earning liveli-
hood, is the action of the editors Of
our largest newspapers in purchasing
his opinions of US at fancy prices
Verify the editor of a metropolitan
newspaper is a queer animal.

THE German government has
again refused to accept double
standard currency, and expressed its
opinion that the time would soon
come when the trading nations of the
world would agree upon a single stan
dard, with gold for its basis. This
is interesting and significant, in view
of the present silver agitation in this
country. Can America maintain a
double standard against the COM
bined commercial world? That is
the real question, and our wishes and
hopes should not be allowed to in
Auence US in answering it. If we can
do it. the sooner we have free and
unlimited silver coinage the better;
if we can't do it, we had better go
slow in making the attempt.

Some people seem to imagine
that law providing for the free
coinage Of silver will also furnish free
silver money to everybody. 1t is a
very grave mistake. Neither the
Government nor private individuals
will ever willingly pay out money
without receiving an equivalent
therefore, and no amount of legisla-
ton will enable man to honestly
acquire money without working for
it. These are selfevident facts that
seem to be over looked by some, en-
thusiasts.

THERE is disposition on the part
of the democratic press to criticise
Senator ingalls, because, in his re-
cent speech in the Senate, he said IF
my political enemy smites me on the
cheek, l would smite him under the
butt end of his left ear" The
charge is made that the language is
inelegant. Well, it may be, but no
one can fail to understand its mean
ing or to comprehend the American
spirit of "get there" which pervades

The editors of the big free trade
newspapers, of which the New York
Herald is the most prominent, should
try to make their editorial and news
columns come nearer together, if
they wish to make any converts. The
other day the Herald printed half
column editorial about the Mckinley
tariff law having shut US cut from
the products of the world, and right
on the next page was news item re
ferred to the Spring trade among
New York merchants, which stated
that the importations were much lar
ger than ever before and that bust
ness was booming 1t is nonsense
for any paper to misrepresent the
new tariff law. If by the time the
Presidential election rolls around the
law shall have proved stself bad the
republican party will have to Shout
der the blame, just as it expects tc
be credited with the benefits of the
law.

diplomatic action was transferred from
Sofia TO Co%nstantinople. Maillegeu held
that the affair was much exaggerated.
Bulgaria aimed at freedom and her minis

nor acts of violence. Millevoye protested
that MaIllegeu spoke contrary to what
is known to be the truth. Maillegeu

ST. PETERSBURG. Dec. 28.-The scan
dial arising from the discovery of adulter,
ated -four here in apt to make trouble fol
a number of people. The consignment
comprised 300, 900 pools &, 800, 900
English pounds) of barley -four purchased
from dealers In Libau with a view of reg
ulating the price Of wheat in the St Pc.
tersburg market, as well as to afford re-
lief for the famine sufferers. An ~investi-
CATION proved the eutire consignment was
sdulterated with chalk dust and other
substances. They comprised such a large
proportion of the consignment that use
of the alleged -four would have constr
tuted a very dangerous menace to the
health if not the lives of those who par
took of it. To speaking of the gigantic
fraud Novos Vremya remarked that if
such frauds can be perpetrated in the zap
ital of the empire, the appalling account
of similar crimes in the famine stricken
provinces cannot be exaggerated.

Ready for an Emergency.

SAN DIEGO. Cal. Dec. 2S.-The
United States steamer San Francisco,
which left San Francisco Saturday,
arrived here this morning. Admiral
Brown said: I'VE shall stay here in
San Diego harbor until the secretary of
the nav orders us away. The ship is
equipped for a three years cruise and we
have 100 rounds oil ammunition for each
gun. Besides this. we have 300 or 400
for the other slips" What other
ships" he was asked. well, we may
meet some other ships that may want
some ammunition" was the only answer.
From other sources it is inferred the
Charleston, row on her way from,
Honolulu to Acapulco, is to meet the San
Francisco here and take on the extra
ammunition. The Baltimore is also
coming north from Chilean waters aud
may want ammunition. While the
officers refuse TO state their future plans,
it is easy to learn the vessel is ready for
any emergency.

saw his son in New York Saturday and
had a long talk with him. He says he
urged his son to go to the railroad OIL
Gals and tell his story, bnt he would not
do so because of the excited state of public
feeling. Then his father got him to make
a written statement, which was sent to
Superintendent Mccoy today. In it
young Herrick says when his train slowed
up, but while yet moving. he dropped off
and placed two torpedoes on the rail,
then ran back to the train, which was
still moving. But as it slowed up
more he took his lights and
started down the track to STOP
the Croton local, then nearly
due. When half wav down he placed
one torpedo on the rail and then walked
on to the station. When he got there he
placed his lights on the platform, the red
light showing south, and went to ask how
the local was. The agent did not know
and Hcrrick sat down and remained
there from three to five minutes, when he
heard a train coming and started for the
door. believing it to be the local. As
soon MS he saw the train he knew it was
the express. He her grabbed up the
light and tried to attract the engineer
attention, but it was too late. He fol
lowed on up the track and soon met a
man who told him about the wreck. He
did not deem it prudent to 90 to the
wreck. so he turned about and came tt

The Chilean situation.

WASHINGToN. Dec. est was I'M
possible to get more than a hint of what
passed between Secretary Blaine and the
Chilean minister during their interview
today, but that Is probably sufficient to
warrant the supposition that matters are
now proceeding in a manner satisfactory
to the government OF the United States,
as desired. Notwithstanding the fact,
Secretary Blaine IS now dealing almost
entirely directly with the Chilean minister,
instead of with his government through
the Intervention of Minister Egan.
1t does not appear that the result has
been any saving of time and there is a
reason to suspect the secretary Is chatting
at the delay he encounters in securing a
final response to the representations made
BY this government concerning the attack
upon the BsltimOre's men. During the
afternoon Representatives Lodge and
BOutelle called at the navy department

rent action of the committee on appropri
tions and the committee on naval affairs
is usually necessary to secure provision for
any navy expenditures. The secretary
has been in communication with the mem
bers of each of those committees during
the day, but with what purpose Is not
definitely known.
An officer OF the department, speaking
of the consultations, said: 1T means Just
this, that we are abiding by George Wash
i%ngton's maxim, In time of peace prepare
for war. We do not believe there will
be war, but if the administration failed to
exercise all of its power in the matter Of
preparation 1t would be open to severe
criticism if Lostihties actually ensue."
News reached the navy department this
afternoon that the cruiser San Francisco
had arrived at San Diego. Cal and was
at anchor in that harbor. 1t was rumored
that she would await the Charleston at
that place and transfer to the latter vessel
certain munitions OF war which she car
ried from San Francisco.
