Emperor William has recommended that
German capitalists help Italy by purchasing
the securities Of that government, but the
effort of the Emperor to assist his ally SIM
ply called forth angry protest. The invest
ors in Germany protest against loaning
money to government whose policy leads
to bankruptcy. Spain, while it does not be-
long to the tripartite alliance. is in a bad
way financially.
There is one nation and government
the continent of Europe which Is not in
financial straits-the Republic of France.
Carrying the largest national debt in exist
ence. for which the Republic is not response
bic. France seems to be in position at the
present time to decide the financial fate Of
some Of it's neighbors 1t has an abundance
of money, both gold and silver. 1t has it
in its power to prevent Italy from becoming
formidable in war, and it can hamper Aus
tria by the accumulation of its securities.
1t is said that France has already begun
relentless financial war upon these two al
lies Of Germany. Not long since the govern
ment of Italy undertook to negotiate with
France for the return Of the silver currency
which has been drained from that country.
France demanded that half the amount
should be paid in gold, which, if paid, must
come from the reserve of the war chest.
To-day France is really the financial CEN
ter of Europe. It's resources are abundant
even when Great Britain is taken into con-
sideration, while its neighbors are in finan-
cial straits. While there are other causes.
such as trade balance in it's favor and
policy which makes France a self-sustain-
ing people by their own industries, its fnan-
cial strength is largely due to it's wise poll
cy in regard to silver. 1t refused to follow
other European nations in demonetizing si-
yer and in getting rid Of it. On the con-
trary. while stopping the coinage of legal
tender silver in 1873, France has boarded
all the legal tender silver of the Latin
Union which has come to it, and its stock
Of money is nearly doubled because it has

with the purchasing power of gold franc
for franc It's money basis is so broad that
it can lend freely, even when the Bank of
England is putting up the rate of discount
in order to retain it's gold reserve.
The embarrassments of the governments
which have adopted the gold basis and
their greater difficulties in the near future
must lead to the opinion that they
must soon adopt the policy Of France
and broaden the foundation of cred
1t by larger use of silver as legal tender
money. AS Senator Allison has urged,
there can be little doubt that the repeal
of the Sherman purchase act will so
quicken the perceptions of European states
men that they will realize the Importance
of early international action to extend the
use Of silver as legal tender money. The
condition of France in contrast with the
governments struggling to maintain a gold
basis is an improving lesson.

The duplicity OF the administrations
course relative to Hawaii is beginning to
receive sharp criticism in Washington
from those who are accustomed to weigh
diplomatic questions. A doubt is suggested
whether the United States has a right to
withdraw it's support from government
which it has not only recognized, but to
which it has sent accredited representa-
tives. Another point discussed in diplo-
matte circles is the probable attitude which
will be assumed by those foreign powers
which have recognized the provisional gov
ernment and whose subjects and interests
are bound up in it's success. 1t is univer-
sally conceded that the restoration of the
monarchy and of Queen Lilioukalani to
the throne will be injurious to business in
terests, and that the moral, political, social
and commercial tone of the country will
be lowered to a half-civilized plane. Some
of the diplomatic corps in Washington are
of the opinion that European governments
will not consent to this wiping out OF a
government which they, as well as the
United States. have recognized, and to
such sacrifice Of the interests of the
whites as this would involve.

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is a competition of rather an unusua
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the con petitors risking the loss of their
labor and the sue 2essful one merely sell ng
his for the amount of the prize But the
Press Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different, Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doiny it. The prize is only a
stimulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without il. The architect
whose competitive plan for a club house on
certain corner is not accepted has not spent
his labor on something of very little use to
him. But the person who patent simple and
useful device in the Press Claims Company's
competition, need not worry If he fail TO Sc
cure the prize. He has a substantial result to
show for his work-One that will command its
value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to I'M
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies ii only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple TO be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds in combining simplicity and popu-
larity, will get the Press Claims Company's
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
about three hundred of the leading news
papers of the United States.

NOT so HARD As IT SEEMS.

A patent strikes most people as an appall
ingly formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must be natural genius, like Edi
son or Bell; that he must devote years to
delving in complicated mechanical problems
and that he must spent a fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get new device to
patentable degree of perfection. This delu-
sion the company desires to dispel. 1t desires
to get into the head of the public clear COM
prehension of the fact that ii is not the great,
complex and expensive inventions that bring
the best returns to their authors, but the lit
tie, simple, and cheap ones-the things that
seem so absurdly trivial that the average citi-
zen would feel somewhat ashamed of bringing
them to the attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous inven-
tons have not been sufficient to pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who con-
ceived the idea of fastning q bit of rubber
cord to childs ball, so that it would come
back TO the hand when thrown, made fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma-
chine is miracle of ngenuity-the product of
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through q
hundred and fifty years, but the whole bril-
liant result rests upon the simple device of
putting the eye of the needle at the point in
stead of at the other end
