claims pre-eminence on the ground that she
has two distinct tastes in the matter of food,

solace in cocktails, sweetbreads and Parsian

In brief. these two ladies are distinct in

ferent that the idea of jealous scrapes will
never enter into their life. This wise pro-
vision of nature which furnishes each with

LONDON, May 30.-A leading article in the
London Times OF to-day, writing with refer
ence to monetary affairs and banking inter-
ests. said: The first step towards bringing
about better state of things is being taken,
the leading bankers having come to a friendly
understanding with the Bank Of England
that, from time to time, as the occasion arises,
they will meet and agree as to what minimum
of discount they shall charge for three
months bank bills. This arrangement has
already been of some effect, but that IS a
minor matter when compared with the fact OF
such an agreement having been come 10 at
all. A year ago the bare possibility OF such q
thing would have been laughed at, and 1t Is
only the profound impression produced by
the crisis of November, $780, that has made II
possible.
WHAT THE BANK wITL DO.
The step that will have to be taken is that
the bank shall keep q larger stock OF bills on
hand than hitherto, so as to have the means
of influencing the money market whenever n
necessity may arise by merely letting its bills
mature and not taking fresh ones. This IS
not exactly anew step. but a further carrying
out of the new policy indicated eighteen
months ago when the banks began TO take short
bills freely from the bill brokers. Joint
stock banks have already recognized the ne
ccssity for a modification of their practice in
the matter of keeping reserves, and also have
decided to publish monthly balance sheets.
1t was fully time that the Bank of England
also should put its house in order so far as
possible without making any changes which
would require the sanction of Parliament
1t is already trying to increase its discount
business, and has already established friendly
relations with other great banks.
ONE POUND NOTES.
The details of the measure foreshadowed by
Mr. Goschen with regard TO one pound notes
will probably be laid before the public very
soon. IL would be of great public advantage
if the chancellor Of the exchequer saw his way
to remodeIling the Bank act by adopting the
principles Of note issue under which the
German Reichsbank now works
This powerful and well-managed bank is at
all times permitted by law TO issue notes to
any extent it pleases on paying TO the I'M
perial excheQuer a tax of five per cent. on any
amount in excess of the authorized issue This
provision works admirably and has the ap-
proyal of several British economists and prac-
teal bankers.

A prominent Russian says, Never in
the history of the Russian Empire was the
situation of affairs within the dominion
of the Car so deep and so weighted with
danger to the Imperial regime. mot a
quarter of the horrors of the famine are
known.
Thousands are dying in the famine
stricken districts of starvation, typhoid
fever, influenza or other diseases. In some
sections the distress is as great as when
the cholera or the plague swept down up
on the villages and towns and nearly
wiped all their inhabitants off
the face of the earth. Even
were the government so constituted that
an honest attempt could be made TO re-
leve the sufferers, even had the govern
ment at its disposal immense sums of
money which would be necessary to re-
lieve the distress, thousands more of them
would perish before help could reach them,
even supposing that the clemency of the
Russian winter would permit the free

THE SPEAKERSHIP.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-It is actually

the Democratic candidates. SO violent

quet is visible everywhere, and he is genial
and suave TO members, although he is not
entirely communicative upon some of the
fundamental questions which are likely
to enter into the Speakership campaign.
Curious as il may seem, eX-Speaker
Reed appears to be factor in the Demo
cratic canvass for the Speakership. At
all events this story is vouched for on eX-
cellent Democratic authority: Some time
ago one of the new Democratic kepresen-
tatves-elect from Ohio received a letter
from one of the leading candidates for
Speaker, asking for his support. He re-
piled in non-cOmmittal vein, but in his
letter he remarked that he would support
for Speaker that man, who, If elected,
would not recognize Tom Reed under
any circumstances. The prompt re-
sponse from the candidate was in sub
stance this "Then you will support me
for Speaker"
1t is said that the Ohio Representative
elect allowed the substance of this cor
respondence TO leak out, and now the
friends and partisans of another leading
candidate say that if he is elected he will
not only appoint Mr. Reed member of
the committee on rules and the commit
tee on ways and means, but will also make
him chairman of a committee, as Speaker
keifer did in the case of eX-Speaker Ran
dali in the Forth-seventh Congress, and
will recognize him in eyeay way as leader
of the minority.

credits Crisp with only 20 votes.
