The change in public opinion respect
ing the prospects Of the International
Monetary conference has been very
marked, if II has not been almost revo-
lutionary. The causes of the change
are doubtless to be found chiefly in the
added knowledge the public now has
respecting the conference and the prop
ositions that were discussed, as well as
the sentiments Of the delegates and the
tenor of the instructions that they were
working under. The necessity that
faces the United States treasury of de-
vising some method of increasing the
revenue has also tended to attract
attention to the conference.
Perhaps the most powerful Of the
causes. considered singly, that have
been potent in leading the more intelli-
gent of the finan ciers to have some
hope of the work Of the conference is
the revelation Of the true position of
England, as 1t is revealed in the blue
book published since the adjournment
of the conference, and through the
recent article of Mr.. Leonard Courtney
in the nineteenth century. This writer
is an authority on the subject, and has
been opposed to the freer use of silver.
He now sees that the stability Of gold
is more sericasly affected by the con-
tinued use os the metal as the single
standard money value than 1t could be
by the association with il OF silver, and
he abandons his former belief and
comes to the side Of the bimetalists.
His conversion has been brought about
by the change Of the conditions rather
than through his own abandonment Of
a position taken after the most search
ing examination of the whole question.
The fact that the English blue book
on the conference reveals that the in
siructions to the British delegates were
TO the effect that all propositions loos-
ing TO the freer use Of silver were to be
given the gravest consideration has not
long been knwn. II was suspected
| that the vlsosiIs was the case. and that

The MANDAMUs CASE.

The presentation of the Democratic
mandamus case to the supreme court
yesterday did not reveal any new
points. The demurrer to the petition
was presented and argued with cogency
and force, but it contained no facts or
theories not familiar to the public.
Lawyer Bosworth presented four OBJ
jections to the petition, but argued
only the first, which claimed that the
South Kingstown council cannot now
legally call another election. The rea-
son it cannot is that the statutes and
constitution limit the time for calling a
new election, and the limit was ex-
ceeded before the alleged election was
held last week.
1t cannot of course be predicted what
the decision of the supreme court will
be. but it can be seen that the Republi-
can case is exceedingly clear, concise,
and abundantly backed by law.

THE RAID on MILLER.

The demand of the English capital
lists, that Warner Miller be removed
from the presidency of the Nicaragua
Canal company because he is persona
non grata to President Cleveland, needs
further explanation.
The ability OF the average English
capitalist to care for his own interest,
and in the long run to make the Eng
lish interest the paramount one in
every enterprise in which he takes
hand, is proverbial. 1t needs
no great disernment to understand the
English opposition to Warner Miller,
one of the stanchest believers in and
advocates of the theory of America
for Americans" He has managed the
property with the belief that the people
of thiscountry realized its Importance
and were determined to support as well
as own the canal.
1t is not likely that the American con-
trolling interests in the company will
listen to John Bull, or that this country
is ready to enter into business part
nership with England when she is
amply capable of taking care of the
enterprise herself.
The character OF the charges against
Mr.. Miller and the suggestions of the
foreign influences, are of themsel Ives
almost sufficient to discredit them.
The thorough castigation and expos
ure administered at the meeting Of a
few stockholders yesterday by Smith M.
Weed to the John Bull who is attempt
ing to make trouble, beside being a very
artistic performance, also conclusively
showed the man to be crank.

the English delegates had been in
structed to frown upon all attempts to
broaden the field Of silver.
The prospects for effective work by
the conference are now very much bet
ter than ever before, and it would seem
that there is ample warrant for the
President calling it together again. If
it should be called to meet again the
President ought to appoint the same
delegates that went under the commits
sion of President Harrison. They did
good work, and they are fitted for the
work. There exists no reason for a
change, except the spoils-of-office rea-
son, which in this case at least is more
honored in the breach than in the OBJ
seryance,

THE UNITED STATES ARE A NATION, Mr.
Justice Field Of the supreme court says
with special emphisis on the "are." The
United States Is a nation, according to the
decision on arms made ls6l-lS65. The con-

makes a plural noun Of United States" !"

ties it. Still, the people will act on the

expenditure of blood and treasure to make

always be plural.

A Great Record.

The late William Young Sellar, whose
books on the Latin poets are so widely
known and SO much valued, was profess
or at the University of Edinburgh.
He was much beloved by his pupils
and had generally an exemplary patience
with dullness and stupidity. We are
told, however, that one day the perverse
impenetrability of blockhead was so
intolersble that the professor at last
cried out:

have made more mistakes than the words
admit of."--Youth's Companion.
