sequently it has been decided best
to float them till l p. M, only, instead

1t is believed that this plan will serve
as well to announce the forecast. The

French and Indian war. Whys
II. What territory was claimed by
the French in 1853! By the English
On what did each nation base its
claim? To what war did this claim
lead?
l. Fl. Duquesne, in the western
part Of Pennsylvania, was noted be-
cause it was the key to the Ohio valley
and while the French held it, Penn
sylvania and Virginia were exposed to
Indian attacks.
2. Louisburg, on Cape Breton
Island and Acadia (now Nova Scotia
and New Brunswick) were noted be-
cause they protected the Newfound-.
land fisheries, threatened New Eng
land with Indian attacks, protected
Canada, and were also places for
French pirates to retreat.
8. Crown Point and Ticonderoga,
because they. were situated in the
northern part of New York, and pro-
tected the route to Canada by way of
Lake Champlain and Lake George.
4. Niagara, on Niagara river, be-
cause it controlled the route by the
Great Lakes, and the fur trade of the
upper lakes and of the west.
5. Quebec, in Canada, on the St.
Lawrence river, because it controlled
that river and protected Canada.
II. France in 1853 claimed Canada,
and all of the land west of the Ale
ghany mountains, and based her claim
on the explorations of LaSalle and
Marquette. England claimed nearly
all of the land in North America, and
based her claim on the discoveries of
the Cabots. These claims led to the
French and Indian war.

Secretary Carlisle's letter showing the
cost of recoining cur present silver dol
lars and our subsidiary coins will probab-
ly prove an extinguisher to Senator Vests
proposition for free coinage at ratio Of
twenty to one. OF course it is obvious
that two silver dollars of different in
trinsic value could not circulate side by
side. The outstanding silver would
have to be recoined on the twenty basis,
and this would put the government to a
very large expense for the additional
silver needed, an expense estimated on the
present price of silver bullion to be
about $75,0O0,000. Seventeen more mil
lion would be needed to buy the silver
necessary to supply the deficiency in the
subsidiary coin. For these items alone a
hundred million will be needed. Add to
this the loss by abrasion which would
have to be made up, and the expense of
transportation and coinage and the whole
cost, according to Secretary Carlisle's
estimate would amount to SIP, S66, 321.
1t is pretty safe to assume that in the
face of these figures nobody will long
seriously argue in favor of a proposition
to coin silver dollars at the 20 to 1 ratio,
unless he has a large stock of silver to
dispose of. The debtor classes who
have inclined to free silver because they
thought it would relieve them of their
liabilities, will not see much relief in a
scheme that at the outset involves a
national expenditure of $112,000 to be
raised by taxation. Such a policy would
appear to them gold deal like saving
at the spigot to waste at the bung. Sec
rotary Carlisle's showing probably won't
kill the free coinage cry, but will have
very dispiriting effect on free coinage
at the ra ito of twenty to one.

The Panama scandal does not seem to
have had much influence on the French
elections. Here and there undoubtedly
some candidate who had been snirched
by it was cut but there was certainly
no popular uprising against the Republic
cans, as at one time it seemed probable
that thsre might be. Perhaps one ex-
PLANTATION is that the disclosures having
showed that all parties shared in the scam
dial, the electors took a more rational
view than is oftentimes the case and
placed the responsibility on individuals
where undoubtedly it belonged, instead
of on any particular party. AT any rate the
party in power did not suffer particularly
by it. The indications now are that the
Republicans will have as large majority
in the new Chamber of Deputies as in
the present one, and it may be larger.
Certainly there is nothing in the returns
to encourage any royalist hope that the
country is tired Of the Republic and
would like to try some other form Of
government.

Among the rumors from Washington is
one to the effect that there is move
ment on foot to bring number Of thous-
and unemployed workingmen from the
West to the capital to make demonstra-
ton in favor of free silver. If there is
truth in the story, which is much to be
doubted, it is sure proof that the free
silver men have reached the 1unacy stage.
OF course it is obvious that several
thousand workingnnen out of employ
ment would never think of mourning the
expense of making a journey to the capt.
tai to shout for free silver or anything
else. If they were anxious for free silver
they would make the demonstration
where they are. If they go to the capital
it will be because the silver men pay their
bills on condition that they make loud
noise in favor of free coinage Such a
demonstration would hurt rather than
help their cause, and if the silver men
mediate any such thing it is because
they have lost their senses.

Miss Ell. Crop, who died recently at
Keynsham, Eng, was the first woman
to cross the Atlantic from England in

Thompson L.Smith, now resident of
Denver, Col, where he is a rector of

appearance. Mr.. Smith was appointed
chaplain in the volunteer forces Of
Virginia by Gov. Letcher in 1861, and con-

The new Chinese minister to the United
States, who has just landed at San Fran
cisco on his way to Washington, is a
Manchu, connected remotely with the
imperial clan, and, as such, possessed of
more influence and prestige than any of
his predecessors. He bears the reputation
of being an enlightened and liberal
minded official, having earned the esteem
of foreign residents in China by his ex-
cellent demeanor and energetic action at
Wuhu when the riot took place there a
couple Of years ago.
Prof. John S. Blackie of Edinburg, who
recently celebrated his 85th birthday, is
a man of many eccentricities He is
noted as well for his absence of mind,
which has sometimes led him into ludi-

some years ago. In order to illustrate
some facts from diagram Prof. Blackie
left the platform and stepping down in
to the body Of the hall began, pointer in
hand, to explain the subject under dis
cussion. Roars of laughter were soon
heard from all parts of the hall, for the
professor had absent-mindedly placed his
disengaged hand on the bald head of a
spectator in the front row, and was pro-
ceeding to stroke and pat it's shiny sur
face while he warmed III. to his subject.

Some Of our Democratic contempora-
ries are agitating themselves lest enough
Republican members of the House will
vote with the free coinage Democrats to
defeat unconditional repeal. The agi-
tation is entirely unnecessary. With but
few exceptions the Republicans will be
found voting in accordance with the
Presidents message. But what con-
fession these Democrats make who are
thus troubling themselves about the
Republican vote The Democrats have
in the House clear majority over Re-
publicans, Populists and Independents.
They can pass any measure they desire
to in spite of all the opposition. The
President, elected by them, has appealed
to them to pass bill repeating the Sher-

One of the most interesting questions
to be settled by the election in New York
this fall is the successor of Judge May
nard, of the New York Court of Appeals.
Maynard, it will be remembered, is the
man who purloined the returns from the
Secretary of States Office and made it
possible to count in majority of Demo-
Gratis in the State legislature. Partly as
reward for this piece of work he was
appointed a judge of the Court of Ap :
peals by Gov. Hill against the protest of
the New York bar association, who at
tempted to have him impeached. The
term which Maynard was appointed to
serve out will soon expire and he wants
to be his own successor. Hill demands
vention, but Senator Murphy has strenu-
ously opposed it and has carried his oppo-
sition SO far as to declare that he will
resign his seat in the Senate if Maynard
is nominated. Within few days, how
ever, it is said that Murphy has been pre-
vailed upon to withdraw his opposition,
which makes the course fairly clear for
Maynard's nomination. Maynard will
get the full strength of the machine,
but the anti-snappers will vote against
him to man, and he will undou btedly
encounter very strong opposition in the
country. The Republicans believe that
with the right kind of a candidate they
can easily beat him, and they are trying
to prevail upon the Hon. Joseph H. Choate
to accept their nomination. Mr.. Choate,
it is said, has given them some en-
cou1a gement.

the present financial depression, and yet
the Democratic organs in this part OF
the country are worrying lest there may
be SO many unsound members of the
Dmocratic majority, so many ready to
antagonize the President of their choice
that his appeal may be disregarded.
Practically they are admitting that the
only hope of repeating the Sherman law
lies in getting the nearly unanimous
assistance of the Republicans.

to give way to Wilson of West Virginia
az chairman of the Ways and Means COM
mittee. AS the fate of the Sherman law
is to be settled directly by the House
without the intervention Of the commit
tee, the retention of Bland is of less con-
sequence than it otherwise might be, but
it shows that the silver Democracy have
a strong grip upon the Speaker. The
substitution of Wilson for Springer at
the head of the Ways and Means COM

Naturally the effect of the attitude Of
the Iowa Republican State convention
on the liquor question has been to rouse
the Prohibitionists, and their organ calls
for an independent State convention to
name a new candidate for governor and
county conventions to nominate candi-
dates for the legislature. Instead Of sup
pressing the liquor question the action
of the Republican convention seems des-
tined to give it more prominence and make
it more than ever an issue in the COM
ing campaign. OF course the effect of
that can only be to help the Democrats.
