LONDON, Oct. "a special to the Times
from Calcutta says: The government in a
minute, accuses the exchange banks Of
speculation. 1t complains that they have
overreached the government. silver being
accepted because the government was ad-
vised that the stability of the banks was
doubtful.
This charge, the dispatch adds. is much
resented. The real specula tors were not the
banks, but a syndicate which obtained Sc
cret information before June regarding
the action proposed by the Herschell COM
mission OH the India currency. The MEM
bers Of the syndicate bought largely OF
paper on India and London and the govern
ment knew the secret was out, seeing as i,
did the inaction in purchases until the END
of June and the public distrust.
The result has been loss in exchange te

to the European spectators. Now there Is
general recrimination between the bank:
and the government.

While it would be pleasant to have our
schools cultivate the literary element in
English composition, this is not the first
end to be sought. All educated men
cannot hope to be poets or essayists, but
no one has a right TO consider himself
educated till he is able to say in writing
what he would say to his correspondent
aloud if they were standing face to face
Slovenliness Of expression not only is
usually traceable to slovenliness Of
thought as a cause, but the habitual neg
lect of expression has also tendency to
increase by reflex action the habit of
loose or muddy thinking. A person who
lacks the power of clear thought and ex-
preston is not person to whose keeping
it is safe to confide public interests, and
in our country, where every citizen is
liable TO be called upon to bear some of
the burdens of state, It's especially neces-
sary that the study Of written as well as
spoken English be given the place to
which its Importance plainly entities it
in every American school course.-Good
Government.
