SILVER COUNTRIES.

The depreciation of silver is having a
bad effect on the finances of silver-using
countries. Probably without exception
the American siiver-using countries con-
tracted debts payable in gold coin at time
when the words "con" and gold" were
void of distinction. In the United States
this distinction has not always been kept
in view. Our greenbacks and treasury
notes are payable In coin, but baye been
paid in gold. This country can stand the
loss, but upon Mexico and some of the
South American republics the premium on
gold Is severely felt. The English Consul

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.

1t is not at all probable that Mr.. Cleve-
lands anxiety to have Con gress repeal the
siIver-pprchasing clause of the Sherman act
was greatly stimulated by the fact that he
was personally interested in rise in specu-
latfve stock. The CALL has always given
Mr.. Cleveland credit for good intentions,
and if he has speculated he has only exer.
cised a right possessed by other citizens.
Butit is kind of reflection on his judg-
ment that the bit OF speculation he so
strongly urged should prove so disastrous.
Apparently he bought for rise and en-
countered fall. He was doubtless mis-
led by his two favorite newspapers, which
predicted an advance all along the line as
coon as the repeal bill passed

LOOSE METHODS.

relative whose speculative schemes
were temporarily benefited by free use of
the Bank of England's money. When the
speculative scheme failed and the cashier
was unable to longer control his free and
easy method of banking the directors
gathered themselves together and re-
auested the cashier to resign. Not the
least astonishing thing in the proceedings
is the fact that tine cashier d i'd resign. One
would suppose that he would have replied

Won Hoist ON THE SENATE.

Professor Won Hoist of the Chicago Uni
versity, who is the author of a constitu-
tional history of the United States, has
written serious paper on the present
condition and future destiny of the United
States Senate. He says that the Senate is
becoming worthless or a worse than
worthless body, that it betrays marks of
infirmitv and is losing public respect and
is fast becoming common place in ability.
courage and dignity. He contrasts it with
former Senates, which were the foremost
legislative bodies in the world, and in
which the most remarkable men of the
century performed their most remarkable
achievements, and he emphasizes the COM
parison by noting that. whereas, half a
century ago every one knew the leading
members of the Senate, now hardly any
one knows from what State Senator
comes by his name. He divides the pres
ell Senate into five classes-old members
who preserve the traditions of the Senate.
but many OF whom are so old and hide
bound that they are q hindrance to
progress; politicians who have become
Senators by political wire-pulling; men
who have reached the Senate by the ladder
of wealth; accidental Senators, who have
been evolved out of casual political up
heavals, and few persons from the
Southern States who became Senators
long ago and whom no one now cares to
disturb
Professor Won Hoist does not believe in
the abolition of the Senate or IN the cleo
ton of Senators by the people. To wipe
the Senate out of existence would be. in
his opinion. 10 abandon the Federal prn-
cple, which would insure a drift into
anarchy or absolutism, or a mixture of
both. As to choosing Senators by popular
election, that method would bar the way
to the sale of senarorships; but Judging
from the quality of the men who are
elected Governors, IL would not insure
higher order Of craftsmanship and dignity
in the Senate. If. then, the professor con-
demns the Senate as 1t stands, but is OPP
posed to its abolition or To the transfer of
the right of choosing Senators from the
Legislatures to the people, how does he
account for the deterioration of the body
and how does he propose 10 remedy the
evil? That question he answers by saying
that the degradation of the Senate is due
to the decline Of politics as one of the
noble professions. The remedy is TO Guilt
vate higher clvism among the people.
That is pretty large undertaking. 1t
would take long time and an extensive
period Of concerted action. Ali existing
political evils could be cured by substitute
ing for the political indifferen tism now
prevailing among the people high sense
Of responsibility and lofty principles of
ciyism. But it would seem unwise to post
pone attempts to effect partial reforms
until a radical reform covering the whole
political field can be effected.

The fruit-grow ers of the State are taking
wise step in organizing California ex-
change. Quite apart from the motive
assigned, that the products now increase
more rapidly than the markets can absorb
them, the movement is a right one to take.
An exchan ge will afford the frnit-farmers
those precise details of special information
about the quantity of crops, the prices ana
the probabilities of the markets which the
common sources of information cannot
give with the requisite dehniteness. A
general newspaper cannot take the posi-
ton OF trade organ or association. 1t
may be- expected that when the exchange
is In existence farmers will have full in
formation of the right moment to bring
crops into the market and what to guard
against IN order to maintain prices. AT

to take part in IA certain amateur perfo- n

On the maps of the world you will find 1t moi
Twas fought by the mothers of men.
Say, not with cannon or battle shot,
With sword or noblcT pen;
Nay, not with eloquent word or thought
From mouths of wonderful men.
But deep in walled up woman's heart
OF woman that would not yield,
But bravcly, silently bore her part
Lo. there is that battlefield
No marshalng troop, no bivouac song,
No banners to CLEAN and wave.
But. OH. these battles they last so long
From babyhuod to the grave.
Yet faithful still as bridge of stars,
She fights in her walled up town
Fiahts on and on in the endless wars;
Then silent. unseen, goes down!
D We with banners and battle shot
And soldiers to shout and praisel
tell you the kingliest victories fought
Are fought in these silent ways.
o spotless woman in world of shame!
With splendid and silent scorn,
Go back to God as white as you came,
The kingliest warrior born!
