MONTREAL.

The city of Montreal in Canada recently
celebrated the two hundred and fifteth
anniversary of its settlement. There
appears to have been much enthusiasm
manifested, but it was not of a character
to inspire the Dominion Government with
confidence in the pursuance Of the present
conditions of affairs. A correspondent of
the New York Mail and Express writes of
the celebration as follows:
The clear skies of our northern ne ighbOr
were almost dar keued with waving flags.
They flew over great public buildings, private
residences, business establishments, and were
borne in the streets by professions OF en-
thusiastic citizens. But what flags? The
stars and stripes OF the United States and the
tricolor OF the French republic. The national
emblem of England was remarkable because 1t
was not in the great celebration, except to a
very limited extent.
The general purpose of celebrations OF
this nature is to keep alive national senti-
ment. The admission day of California
into the Union would not impress the rest
of the United States favorably if the bear
flag and the Spanish flag were the only
national embems in sight. The bear flag
has its place. but above it is the place of
the star-spangled banner. It is a matter of
some surprise, therefore, that On such al
occasion as the celebration of its ami
versary Canadian city should have given
the American flag conspicuous recog-
milton Of friendship.

A LETTER AND A SPEECH.

President Cleveland sent a Fourth of
July letter of regret to the celebrating
Tammanyites, and then, it is presumed
Went aEishing. The letter, however, ad.
vised others to celebrate the DAY as often
as it occurs. Speaker Crisp, who is an
aspirant for the second Office in respect TO
its Influence on legislation in the United
States, incorporated stump speech into
his Fourth OF July Grafton. He referred
to conditions which have produced un-
easness. uncertainty and stagnation of
trade, and remarked that the laws which
had brought about these conditions were
enacted by the Republican party against
the protests of Democrats. Mr.. Crisp
might have gone on and stated that all
laws that have been enacted since 1860
were enacted by the Republican party and
against the protests OF Democrats. During
the war and the reconstruction period the
Democrats were kept busy protesting.
But the Republicans vent right along en-
acting such laws as seemed to them con-
duciye to the best lie terests of the people.
When the Democrats got trial. in 1884
they accomplished nothing. They had be-
come so accustomed to the role of pro-
testers that they could not play any other
part. Mr.. Crisp now promises that his
party Will set things right in short order.

CHANGING SENTIMENT.

The Cleveland organs have discovered
that Southern sentiment has experienced
a remarkable change in favor of the single
gold standard. The change, however.
cannot be considered remarkable. It was
predicted some time ago. when silver men
made the discovery that they had no in
huence in the White House. Now, the
average Congressman cannot afford to let
his constituents know that he has no influ-
ence in the way OF obtaining appoint
ments. In every Congressional district in
the United States there is a hunger and
thirst for office that renders ordinary
political issues insignificant What is the
silver question to man who has been
promised $1,000 a year Office and finds
himself in danger of losing it because the
Representative of his district won't vote
as the President wants him to? The
change Of sentiment referred to is un-
donbtedly taking place. Representative
Catchings of Mississippi is an example
and is also responsible for the statement.
Catchings did not vote for the Sherman
act for the reason that he preferred a
silver coinage act. But Catchings has
is ready to vote as Mr.. Cleveland NAV
direct. People may not be hard on Con-
gresham who surrenders his convictions

ton. but some of these fine days Presi-
dent who uses the patronage Of his office
to harness the peoples representatives to
his policy will be called to a strict ac-

BIDDING FOR GOLD.

Max Wirtb, an Austrian econ omist, tells
how Austro- Hungary obtained the gold
required to make the change from cur
rency to gold basis. Austria simply
watched her opportunity. Within year
or two very large amount OF American
bonds had been paid and the gold they
were paid in was seeking an investment.
Another favorable condition was the en-
actment of silver laws which permitted an
exchange of American gold for European
silver. The Austrian loan authorized was
for 100. coo. 900 forms, which was taken by
the Rothschiid syndicate at per cent be-
low par Having this margin to 60 upon
tile Rothschilds bid a little above the cur
rent rate for gold and got all they wanted.
The sum of 100000 forms came in the
form of American eagles, and Of 100000 900
of bullion about 100000 came from
America. The operation was very simple.
The Austrians offered loan at discount
which enabled the takers to offer little

A CANDID CORRESPONDENT.

A correspondent Of the Boston Herald
accounts for the business depression which
prevails in the East in the following
fashion:
am one who canddly thinks that the pres
ent depression IN business is brought about in
a gre AT measure by the fact that the Demo-
cratic party is in power.
Manufacturers know that they cannot afford
TO go on producing blindy until the tariff cues.
tion is settled aud there is some definite basis
to work on.
The Democratic party has done nothing. but
1t proposes 10 get the nearest possible approach
TO free trade. and 1t has the power
The ID mocratlc party proposes 10 revive the
old State banks and ii has the power
The business man asks the question, 'tHow
viii this legislation affect me? He hesitates,
contracts his business and waits f0r-he knows
not what.
The result OF this uncertainty has caused con-
traction all along the line. We ker firms go to
the wall, and they go the stronger hold their
pursestrings with tighter clasp and become
more cautious. Result, stagnation, depres-
sion. hard times.
The Herald reads its correspondent q
lecture on his want Of candor. 1t makes
no other reply to the arguments presented.
1t does. however. reproach the CORE
spondent tor not having mentioned the
Sherman silver law as one cause of the de-
preston. Candor, the Herald thinks,
would have required the mention Of that
law as the author and cause Of all evil.
The Herald falls back on the oit-re-
peated assertion that all the laws regulat-
ing the tariff and currency questions are
Republican measures. So they are. But
the contention of the cores ondent was
that it was not the laws but the danger OF
their repeal that is producing the trouble.
This position Is strengthened by the fact
that until there was danger of repeal
there was no trouble apprehended. The
party in power last year had been in
power thirty years. and the progress of
the nation had been onward and upward
until the date was fixed for it to hand
over the reins Of government to the Demo-
Gratis. 1t WAS not until after Novem Der
that causes Of depression began to appear.

CHICAGO AND NEW YORK.

Not content with the Worlds Fair to
vaunt its greatness, Chicago aspires to
being acknowledged the supreme city ia
the United States. It lays claim this year
TO having about half million more
population than New York. and suggests
that New York must annex Brooklyn in
order to make ont lis title of chief city.
The ultimate superiority of Chicago in
point of population has been foreseen. 1t
has a very large area. an enormous trade,
constantly expanding by reason Of geo.
graphical advantages. and courageous en-
terprise New York is also constantly
advancing in commerce, and it is the heart
of the financial system Of the United States,
but it is very largely built up and hence
forth the population must overflow and go
elsewhere for residence. To limited ex-
tent buildings may go skyward to provide
more accommodation for business, but the
process of converting residences into COM
mercal buildings may proceed during the
next fifty years, and in all proba bility will
proceed until very nearly the whole of
Manhattan Island is absorbed by the mer-
chant and the manufacturer. In this aspect
New York more and more resembles the
with two millions of business people during
the day. crowded within square mile Of
huddled buildings and tortuous streets. and
at night not more than 10000 go to bed In
it. The rest are scattered over the vast
metropolitan area or are whisked far and
near into the country. Similar conditions
exist in New York. Brooklyn and New
Jersey; and many places on Long Island.
Staten Island and up the Hudson and along
the East River are to an enormous extent
an overflow from the great city which will
always continue to dominate them. NUM-
cipaly they will remain separate. but In
equity there is some title to conjoin them
for the purposes of taxation.
Chicago does not trouble itself with ex-
plantations. 1t takes the city called Chi
cago and the city called New York and
compares them. Now this year Chicago
has issued directory containing $4,000
names. This total of solid citizenship it
multiples by and the product is 9. 100, co.,
This is Chicago's population by this sum-
mary process. What has New York to
show by the figure +? Why, 100000 less |!
Wherefore the astonishing superiority OF
Chicago, which in 1890, by the Govern
ment census, had in round numbers only
100000 population. A city which doubles
its population in couple of years is m ar
vel only possible ic the wild and woolly
West. But New York will put some lin
itations upon this arithmetic and retort
with disdain that it is still the Empire
City. 1t is not advisable to lose any tenn
per over the controversy. Both are great
cities, both are in the United States, and
America is proud of them. The future of
neither city is in doubt. They may both
put London in the shade within half a
