Brigade ut Balallava" were, as it seems
to me, for the worse. His couplet in
Form, Riilemcn, Form" was hardly an
Improvement. In the original version
it stood thus:
IT'S trnc we have q faithful ally.
But only the devil knows what he means.
In the corrected shape il was made
to read us follows:
True wc have got such n faithful ally
That only the devil can tell what he means
The ally" was, of course, Napoleon
III.
1t is impossible to describe in narrow
limits the variations, large and small,
the author made in his MAUD" lyric
here referred to. AS large part of the
original version was omitted entirely, I
have concluded to copy it here and
leave to the reader who possesses Il
Il copy of Maud the opportunity to
make his own comparisons:

1t lightly winds and steals
In old white robe before me-
When all my spirit reels
AT the shouts tho league OF lights,
And the roaring OF the wheels
Half the night waste in signs,

For tho hand the lips. the eyes,
For the meeting OF tomorrow;
Tho delight of happy laughter,
Tic delight OF low replies
Do hear the pleasant ditty
That heard her chant OF old;
But wakc-my dream is fled.
Without knowledge, without pity,
In the shuddcring dawn bohold,
by tho curtain OF my bed
That abiding phantom cold.
Then rise: the eave-drops fall
And the yellow vapors choke
The great city sounding wide;
The day comcs-a dull red ball
Wrapt in drifts OF lurid smoke,
On the misty river tide.

Thro' all that crowd confused and loud,
Tho shadow still the same;
And on my heavy cyelils
My anguish hangs like shame.
Alas for her that mot me-

Al the quiet cvci-fall,
In the garden of the turrcts

COIN NOTES.

The st. Louis Republic, an influential
Southern Democratic paper. says that the
redemption Of treasury notes issued in
payment of silver at a gold valuation WAS
a disgraceful bargain, for which the Har-
rison administration was responsible. AS
an instance of the power of party feeling
to obscure naturally clear ntal vision.
we quote the following from our st. Louis
contemporary:
The Harrison administration deserves the
unqualified condemnation of all honest men for
Its part in fixing on the country this fraudulent
and ruinous pollcy of contraction. 1t Is ham
perlng trade and contracting credit, and il must
continue to do so until the Democratic party
can force reform.
Now let US see what the Harrison ad-
ministration did to deserve such a pen
lashng. Along in 1890 there was much
more silver produced than was coined
under the Bland act. then in force. The
Sherman bill proposed to purchase a por-
tion of this silver at its gold valuation and
issue therefor treasury notes payable in
coin. By this means there was a larger
amount of silver represented by notes put
in circulation than under the Bland act.
Under the Sherman act 100000 ounces
were added each month to the circulation.
while under the Bland act but 5000. 900
worth of silver had been coined. The sill
yer bullion was purchased at its gold val
uatior and was, in consequence, honestly
payable in gold. Assume that the silver
valuation would be 81 90 an ounce and the
go d valuation 90 cents an ounce, it will be
admitted that silver bought at 90 cents
should be paid in gold or ITS equivalent.
The treasury notes were made payable in
coin on the assumption that the silver dol
lar should be maintained al parity with
gold. The rule or principle which aprlieS
TO greenbacks does not apply to treasury
notes issued in payment of silver at its gold
valuation. The greenbacks were issued in
payment of debts which at the time were
payable in either gold or silver. The So
called Sherman notes were issued in pay
ment of commodity purchased at its god

whereas the American engineer divides up
the circuits and generators into many sep
arate units of distribution. In another
respect our methods are different, but we
are changing them. We have few under
ground mains, and have shown prefer
ence for overhead wires. This defect will
be cured in time. Some superiority is
also claimed for the foreign manner of in
stalling house wires. The insurance COM
panies brought compulslon TO bear for the
sake of safety. and it appears that some of
our companies have sent experts across
the Atlantic to pick up information on the
system.
Electricity in mechanics is in transi-
tion stage. We are on the threshold of
marvellous applications of the new power,
due TO recent scientific discoveries and in
ventions. The properties of very high and
frequent currents may soon be turned TO
use with startling results, Mr.. Tesla and
Professor Elihu Thompson having opened
up much for practical application in this
field. Some day the Incandescent lamp
may give place to the phosphorescent
glow induced by the high current, but the
latter is more costly at present. New de-
partures are certain to come. but he would
be bold speculator who could define their
urecise direction or limit. Niagara and
many other natural forces are at the COM
mand of the engineer of to-day. and the
gigantic engines of modern steamS ships
show what is possible in mechanics. In
telegraphy and telephony Professor
Thompson declares that communication
across the sea without wires is on the
verge of practical accomplishment. What
a century it is In w1nders!

SOWING DISTRUST.

Mr.. Coils p. Huntington has long arm.
He can reach from New York TO San
Francisco, and further if he has occasion
Just ut the present time he is talking in
New York for effect in San Francisco.
His purpose apparently is to create the
feeling among the meroh ants of this city
that the North American Navigation Com
pany is no; safe institution to tie to. As
an example of the manner in which Mr.
Hun tingtOn extends his voice from New
York to San Francisco the following from
Tuesdays Examiner is offered:
Mr.. Huntington wants rates between New
York and this city advanced. Ii is admitted
that he is los ing money and that The Panama
Company and the North American Navigation
Company are doing likewise.
Now, If it can be made TO appear that
the Panama Company is losing money un-
der its arrangement with the North Ameri-
can COMPANY the public nina will be pre-
pared for deal between the Panama Com
pany and the Pacific Mail; and If it an be
made to appear that the North American
Company is losing money the public mind
will be prepared to see that company re-
tire from the transportation business.
Evidently the president of the Southern
Pacific and Pacific Mail finds the Era,n-
iner convenient telephone through which
to speak to the people of this city. The
fact that the Examiner has an occasional
article criticizing Mr.. Huntington's methods
