Two STYLES Of Architecture.


In its current issue the Cosmopolitan maSa-
zine prints two illustrated articles, one de-
scription Of the Chateaux of Touraine and
the other notice of the elegant mansion OF
Mrs Emil Schanden, Of Milwaukee, WIS,
which are extremely valuable as showing the
sunerioritv of Western art over the efforts OF
the architects Of medieval France.
We do not know whether the striking con
trast was intended by the Cosmopolitan. but
at any rate there it IS in print, and we can en-
iov il Mt our ease. We have only 10 turn from
the tawdry facade of Chenonceaux OF Cham
bord to the dignfed and classic front Of the
Schandein mansion TO appreciate its full I'M
port and 10 understand why building lots
command the prices they do in Milwaukee.
And the best Of the Schandein mansion IS that
it is 50 entirely original.
The Cosmopolitan magazine has not hither-
to been distinguished for grim humor. but its
first effort in that line Is a solid and imposing
success.

Examination of the Brain
New York SUM-


According 10 a story in the New YORK
Continent. there now exists scientific society
known as the Society for the Examination otthe
Brain. ANY distinguished person can become
a member Of this society by pledglng 70 II III
advance his brain for purposes OF dissection
after death. DR.. Spitzka, Of thistown, credited
with prominent part IN the 9rsahylZIa9IHiiion,
while DIR. Joseph Leidy and DR.. William
Pepper. both Of Philadelphia. are, respectively.
It's president and its secretary. The newspa-
per story goes on to intimate that among the
distinguished persons who have been request
ed to bequeath their brains to the society are
the Rev. Dr. Phillips Brooks, the Hon. Chaun-

This NAV be. or this may not be. But If the
singular association really means business. we
advise it to secure without delay a lien upon
the brains Of young Mayor Manning OF the
Albany Argus.

SENATOR HEARsr, Of California. died last
night at little after o'clock. He has been
In desperate state of health for many
months, and his death was confidently looked
for some time ago. Still he fingered along,
and at times would show marked improve
ment; but the nature of his disease was such
that recovery was impossible, and death
was only a question Of time.
1t is fortunate for the country that the Sena-
tor did not die some weeks ago, when it was
thought he was in extremis. In that case the
vacancy would have been filed by Republi-
can appointee of the Republican Governor of
California. This would have given the revo-
lutionists in the Senate a majority of one.

FREE COINAGE OF SILVER.
The following note was received at The
TINES Office yesterday morning:
RICHMOND, Feb. o. 1891:
NJ. Editor.

Ipresume by your editorials, you are op-
posed 10 the free coinage OF silver. VIII You
be kind enough 70 answer the following en-
quiries Of one who wants light on the subject:
1st Is there ample gold IN the world 70 sup
ply the circulation needed by the trade Of
nations?
2d. II there is not sufficient quantity Of
gold. to supply the circulation medium, how
would you meet the deficiency?
Cd. Is not all money fat. Yours &c.
ENQUIRER.
In reply to the above we would say briefly;
First, THE TINES IS not opposed 10 the free
coinage Of silver under proper restrictions.
ANY law which will guarantee that the silver
dollar shall keep its proper place in our cur
rency as real dollar will meet with our fullest
approval. Under such a law the freer and
more abundant the coinage Of silyel
the better. and under these circum-
stances alone do we believe that
unrestricted and unlimited coinage could be
safe A law to allow a silver dollar, worth
less intrinsically than tho gold dollar, % be
unreseryedly coined and placed.in circulation
could have only one effect. 1t would drive
gold 10 a premium. and either cause it 70 leave
the country OF be boarded up. In either
event the 97OO,O00.OOO Of gold now in the
country would disappear from circulation,
and our currency would be contracted to that
extent.
Second-The best opinion is that gold Of
itself IS insufficient 10 supply the circulation
needed by the trade Of nations
Third-To supply the deficiency in gold,
silver dollars Of equal market bullion value
with gold dollars should be coined 70 an
unlimited extent. Besides This. notes based
on such gold and silver dollars should be
issued. and so increase the circulation.
Fourth. to the extent that governments
make certain qualities and quantities Of gold
and silyerlegal tenderfor the payment ofdebts.
all such money may be said to be fiat" But
there is in the true gold and silver dollaran in-
trinslc value recognized the world over, which
value is based on the cost Of producing such
dollar, just as the value of "a dollars worth Of
anything else is determined Gold and silver
dollars of that character are not such fiat"
money as owes its value entirelyto legislation.
We trust these answers are sufficiently lucid
to satisfy "Inquirers" inquiries.

conservative leader i'll the house of COM
mons, if the Influence of the powerful
Carleton club and the opinion of the Con-
sentative party as a whole rules in the de-
cision TO be made by Lord Salisbury.
On the other hand, if the negotiations now

based on the absorption of the LIBERAL
Cnionists, are effected, Rt. Hon. George j.

claim the leadership. An intimate
friend OF GOschen informs the Associated

during a critical period in the history of
the coalition between the Conservatives
and Liberal-Unionists gave writ
ten assurance that Mr.. Goschen
should have the leadership
of the Conservative party in the house OF
commons in the event (then a possibility.
