= MEXICO AND THE TROPICS.
Mr.. stoddard's Lecture at City Hall Last
Evening.

Mr. John L. Stoddard gave the tenth enter
tainnlent in the Stockbridge regular course last
evening before one OF his typical audiences
noted for its size and brilliancy He
took for his subject From the Rio Grande to
Mexico and the Tropics
AS he came before his hearers Mr.. stoddard
gracefully alluded to the fact that while it was
in Portland he made many friends when first an
adventurer in the lecture field so it was here
that he took farewell of the lecture public for
two years while he devoted himself to trip in
China, Japan and India. He felt assured of the
interest of Portland in the trip and of its warm
welcome on his return at the end of the speci-
fed time
The lecturer then proceeded with his subject
and for an hour and a half held his audience
with his delightful description of that fascin-
ating land, the land of the Aztecs and Monte
yuma, of fernando Cortes, of Macmillan and
Carlotta and of the heroic deeds of the heroes
of the Mexican War of 1S47. Beginning with
view OF the disagreable alkai plain through
which, from the bed of the Rio Grande, the
railroad stretches for the most part to the
Mexican metropolis, a distance OF 400 miles, he
showed the old fashioned diligence by which
tourists formerly made their way to the capital,
and also the hummock like country that mark
ed the rest of the distance. Once arrived in the
capital, which in its architecture resembles
most cities of Latin origin, he in rapid success
sion showed the fine Mexican railwayistation;
the beautiful Jockey Clubhouse where he at
tended ball the same night he arrived and met
President DiaZ He also gave an amusing
description of a descent into the crypt of an old
church with a Chicago man, where they were
ahorrified with the treatment that had been ac-
corded the respected dead, and told how the
Chicago man rushed off not frightened but in
order to reach the first telegraph station and
wire the Worlds Fair commission asking them
if they didn't want to move the whole business
over there for exhibition. The beautiful falls
that are a miniature Niagara were shown
both by sunset and moonlight. The old
features of the capital, its great churches and
solid possessions; its statesmen, officials,
funeral train cars. canal and the god ofwar,
were pictured viyidly on canvas and equally so
in words: Gigantic trees, "The Tree OF Monte
Zuma,' the aqueduct, and the american Inva-
sion" the Castle of Chapultepec, approach to
the volcanoes, the Sacred HILL romantic
legends, the hot lands. astonishing grades, and
many other things were treated interestingly.

WHERE is IDA HuTcHINs?,
Her Mother Has Not Seen Her Since Last
Sunday, and Is Worried.

There was much anxiety and distress yester-
day at the home of Mr.. Henry P. Hutchins, No.
SO Alder street, over the mysterious disappear
ance of their 16 years old daughter Ida She
has not been seen since last Sunday night, and
the anxiety of her mother increased continuous
ly until yesterday afternoon, when she called
upon the police for assistance. In appearance
the missing girl seems much older than 16, and
would readily pass for a young woman of 1S or
20.
She left her home Sunday dressed in her best
clothes to attend the evening meeting of the
mission on Free street, which is maintained by
q young man formerly connected with the Saliva
ton Army. He saw her Sunday evening and
seems to have been the last one of her acquaint-
ances who has seen her. The police at late
hour last evening had been unable to find any
trace of her, although they had made some in
vestigations in pogtions of the city where they
thought they might find her.

tion to scale them down afterward to
more equitable terms, and provocaticn
to that is given il the holders Of such
bonds attempt, by influencing Legislation
or otherwise, to secure new and still
better terms for themselves long after
the loans are made. Their strongest and
best position is to stand upon the Sscred-
ness Of contracts, and they may lose
portion of what is now conceded to them
by seeking more than their contracts en-
title them to.
The act Of July IA, 1870, pledged the
government Of the United States to pay
the bonds issued under it in dollars
coined at it's option out Of either gold or
silver, and that the dollars coined Of
gold should each contain 25.8 grains
nine-tenths fine, and that those Of silver
should each contain 412.5 grains of the
same purity, and that for the purpose Of
such payment no other or different dol
lars from those described should be used.
But that act did not, nor could it, bind
the government to retain either kind Of
dollar, or either gold or silver, as money.
1t, in effect, pledged the government to
pay those bonds at it's option in one or
the other Of the classes Of dollars de-
scribed, whatever it's money might be.
The question Of what it's money shall be
is domestic question always within the
sovereign discretion of the United
States, and in respect to which it never
did and never can give pledges for the
future.
The United States might decide to de-
monetize gold as well as silver, and to
maintain and enlarge the circulation Of
paper. The effect OF this would be to
lower the value Of both metals, by with
drawing any demand for them rs money
in this country, and by setting an ex-
ample Of disusing them, which might be
followed elsewhere. just as large de.
Gsnd for gold here as money must raise

payable in gold, so tho diSuse Of the
metals here would chespen them and
diminish tho burden of debts payable in

States has never come under obligation
to it's creditors or anybody else to retain

demonetizinR them, however, it would
still be its duty to coin them for the pur-

Duties and riQhts of the United States IN
respect to SIC co6n obligations (c0nttnued).
The United States reserved tho option
Of paying it's debts in either metal as
protection against any combination Of
circumstances, and against any legisla-
tion Of foreign governments relative to
the precious metals which might cause a
divergence in the relative value Of gold
and silver. This option, always impor-
tant, and doubly 80 whom divergence
exists, has always been exercised by the
United States, and it's right and duty to
exercise it is as clear to-day as it has ever
been since the formation of the govern
meht. 1t was powerful and persistent
creditor influence that caused the de-
monetization and consequent deprecia-
tion Of SILVER relatively to gold. The
masses Of the people, including the debt
ors Of all countries, were opposed to it.
If 1t were true, as it is not, that credit
orS would now suffer loss ifpaid in silver,
they should receive no sympathy, nor
should they complain Of the legitimate
consequences Of their own acts. The
bonds Of the United States are supposed
to be more largely held in Germany than
in any European country. Germany had
the single silver standard until 1871, and
by discarding it and adopting the gold
standard became the principal cause of
the recent divergence between the
metals. The subjects OF the German
empire cannot justly complain of q pay
ment in silver deprecated by the action
Of their own government.
II individuals or syndicates, who have
made contracts for the purchase Of bonds
Of the United States at fixed prices, and
whose profits and commissions depend
upon the prices at which they make sales,
have made representations as to the
tenor and meaning Of the bonds not war
ranted by law or by the language Of the
bonds, the United States cannot be held
responsible for such statements. This is
q matter purely between them and their
customers.
The only safe course for both parties
70 these bonds is to abide By their plain
letter and by the laws which alone give
them any validity whatever.
Large national debts, contracted under
the pressure Of war, are generally con-
tERcted on hard terms. There ia q tsmpta-
