Senator Stewart. of Nevada, has hitherto
complained that silver was surreptitiously
and fraudently demonetized in 1873, but
now he declares that it is still the duty of
the officers of the mint to receive and coin
all silver offered at the rate of 4l2H grains
of silver to the dollar The act of 1873
provides for the coinage of the old standard
dollar, but does not provide for its free
coinage. On the contrary, the amount to
to be coined is expressly defined to be not
less than 100000 nor more than 81, 1000,
600 month, which provision is enlarged
and modified by the act of 1890 without
affecting the other features of the law.

N. Stamboulof has consequently addressed a
note to the Porte, obviously intended for
publication, in which he reoounts the proofs
Of Bulgarian good conduct, and requires
the Sultan to demand the extradition of Shisll-
manoff and his alleged accomplices. If this
request is refused, the consequences, til is
limited, may be grave the Bulgarians being IL
led Of dependence on the Po. te, which, whenever
a dispute arises with Russia, plays into Russian
hands. As Shishmanoff was in the hands of
the Turkish police. and was liable to be tried
as a Turkish subject, NJ. Stambouloff has
clearly right on his side but right unsup-
ported by force is Of little consequence in the
East. The Sultan will certainly not demand
the extradition Of Shishmanott, and the Bul-
garians will hardly break with their Austrian
friends, who are willing that they should be-
independent, but desire delay for fear Of pre-
oipitating the great war. In our time only
two things seem to be really strong, force and
sentimentaIity.

points out a geographical fact which greatly
affects the situation The natural outlet Of

to annex the new State, thus doubling its al

one Of the largest States in the world. The
Brazilian Dictator, it should be noted, i%nstructs
his agents to inform the world that the revolt
in the Matte Crosse is Of no Importance, and
will speedily come to an end, which means that
he is not going to expend either soldiers or
money in an attempt to reduce the insurgents.

Sir James FERGUSON. the I0stm@Stcr-Gen-
eral, has found ii necessary to warn the young
women employed in post Offices that they
really must be decently civil. He has issued
a circular enioining civiIity upon employees Of
both sexes; but it is obvious that lie has the
Young ladies in his eye, for he says there are
"some, if not many. whom it is impossible to
acquit Of iuatteniion and Ievity IN the dis
charge of their official duties. Often they
will keep a member Of the public waiting while
they. perhaps, finish some idle conversation
or complete a row Of knitting. " The complaint
is perfectly lust but Sir James will find that
a good many circulars are required, for the
evil springs not from idIeness, or even rude
ness. but from caste feeling. The girls are
uncivil. lust as bank clerks are |unoiyil, in or
der to show that they are not "shoppies,"
bound to attend to the orders Of their customers.
They make the public wait just as a sign that
they are official persons, and not girls hired to
sell stamps and money-orders.
The Bishop Of Chester Or. jayne, speak
ING on Tuesday at the annual prize-giving Of
the Chester Working boys Home, said that he
had been accused of advocating corporal pun
ishment only for the lower classes. On the
contrary, he said that, as corporal punishment
was already recognised as the privilege" Of
rich mems children at all the public schools of
the country, what he advocated was the extern
sion to the poor in elementary schools of the
privilege Of the rich. That is a bold way of
putting it, but it is true way too. There is
much more cutlery now against Gaming in ele-
mentary schools than there is at Eton or
Winchester. Probably it is a punishment too
frequently used in the public schools and too
seldom in the elementary schools. 1t should
be reserved for boys whose natures are not
moved by nobler penalties.

The dircreditable condition Of many of the
smaller railway-stations in London has been
illustrated this week by a deplorab lie accident.
Enormous crowds, as usual, visited Hampstead
Heath on Easter Monday, and rain coming
on in the afternoon, a few thousands Of
them tried to get home by the station on the
London and North Western Railway. The
managers of that railway had, however, made
no special preparation for them. TIL crowd
flowed. as usual. down the staircase on to the
platform; as usual, a ticket-collector's box oc-
cupiedh half the doorway; and when the platform
filled, there was a dangerous crush, hundreds
trying to descend upon other hundreds who
could not move. Two adults and six children
were accordingly squeezed to death, most Of
them diving upright. and thirteen more were
seriously injured. When the deaths were
perceived, the crowd on the platform took
fright, and rushed across the metals to the
other side, and but that the officials succeeded
in stopping an incoming train, three or four
hundred lives would have been taken. There
was no one specially to blame, the truth being
that the suburban stations and the M%etropoli-
tan stations we're not built forthe awful crowds
which on holidays throng into them. The
Companies mioht 80 to more eXpenseim the way
Of barriers and police, but to be safe, the stations
want rebuilding. The s%taircases are used both
forascent ana descent. and are, therefore, death
traps; and the platforms are frequently mere
knife boards. from which, if a panic Of five
seconds occurred, hundreds Of passengers
would be flung under the wheel Of advancing
engines. The danger has been pointed out a
hundred times. but it viii not be removed till.
after 0 great massacre, a jury has fined a
Railway Company half its years dividend.

The ELECTORS Just elected in the Argen-
tine Republic are all instructed to nominate
DR.. Saenz Pena as President, and Senior Urlburu
as Vice-President and those gentlemen will
accordingly accede to office in j une next. The
President, an old man of good character, but
probably weak, has published an exposition Of
OF his policy, which is to avoid all foreign
loans, to provide for interest on all debts 50
far as the resources of the Republic will allow,
to enforce strict economy, and to impose a new
tax specially devoted to the service OF the Debt
and the withdrawal of the p~aper-money. All
that is pleasant reading, especially to the Barring
guarantors but the question is, how much or
it will beIoarried out? The regular course IN the
Republic is to promise a withdrawal OF paper
MOI ey. without which nothing can be accom-
plished, and then to issue it more lavishly than
ever. The Congress, which has a veto ON the
Presidents proposals, does not care a straw
about the foreign creditor, and likes very much
getting prices for produce in gold, and paying
wages in deprecated paper. According to
Mr.. Herbert, British Consul at Buenos Ayres,
the Debt may be taken at 9l20,OO0,O0O, and
the revenue at less than G5 100000 If that
is true,2 per cent. is the most the bondhoIders OF
the Republic will ever receive, and even that
can hardly be paid unless revolutionary mea-
sures are taken to e%xtinguish the Overplus OF
paper.

OUR ELECTION LAWS.

Much is being said about the
propriety of changing or amend -ng
our election laws. There seems to
be general desire on the part of
the people of the State that there
should be such change in our elec>
ton laws as would insure an. abso-
lutely tair election. We say that
the spirit, of the times backed by
popular conviction. demands that
there should be a change.
The Australian ballot, the Dortch
system and others have been tried
IN many of the States f the Union.
and have given entire satisfaction
to both Democrats and Republi-
cans. Alabama is progressive e
State. Thousands of new corners
with millions Of dollars are being
added annually to our wealth and
PROCESS. Hence we cannot afford
to lag behind our sister States in so
important and vital matter as ball
lot reform. Give us a law that
guarantees absolute fairness. This
is what the great body of the Dem
cratic people of Alaf anna want. 1t
will avoid danger III the future.
We have the matter now entirely in
our hands, and the great Democratic
party is capable of fully meeting
the honest demands of the hour and
the 81 .uation.-Mercury.
