The PRESIDENTS vAc ION.
VIII Probably spend a Month Fishing In
West vIreinin.

WIN Probably spend a Month Hisaing I'm
West Virginia.
WHEELING, June e3.-Tkere seems to
be very good prospect of President
Cleveland spending at least a week of
his summer vacation in West Virginia.
Senator Camden and Internal Revenue
Commissioner Miller are both intimates
of the president, and both assured him
of the splendid fishing in Gauley river.
Senator Camden has just opened a
splendidly equipped hotel at Camden
on-the-Gauley, wild, beautiful spot in
the forest-coyered mountains. The
senator has also stocked Gauley river
with game fish, and the mountain
streams about the hotel are full of the
finest brook trout.
The manager of the hotel has been
informed that he may expect an unus-
ually distinguished guest during the
latter part of July, and Commissioner
Miller has taken rooms enough for six
people for two weeks. 1t is tacitly given
out that Mr.. Cleveland will be one of
the party. This is not the first time
that Miller, who was internal revenue
commissioner under Cleveland's last adj
ministration, as well as this, has fur
nished sport for the president: in fact.
his ability in that line is said to have
been one of his chief recommendations
for reappointment.

The.immense fortunes of to day
are a result of war, and it would be
most beneficial principle to apply
in taxation that all expenses on ac-
count of war should be collected
from the holders of property worth

be only fair division of the bur
dens of war, for the lives sacrificed
in it are nearly always the lives OF
the poor, while those who profit
most by it are nearly always the

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-Advices
by steamer say that when the Chinese
council met to discuss the Geary act.
Prince Chang and two others proposed
recalling the Chinese minister at Wash
ington in the event of the United States
government enforcing the act.
The statement is also made that it
was at one time intended that the de-
parture of He Yang Ju for the United
States should be delayed until some
thing had been done to repeal the OBJ
noxious clauses of the act. Instructions
to Konyin, at Washington, were that
he should return to China on the expi-
ration of his term without waiting for
his successor.
1t is said that the principal reason for
the recent proclamation against the sale
of American oil is that it is the first
step of retaliatory measures against
everything American. Canton and
Swallow are expected to follow suit.

The sad accident which occurred

sizes the fact that this government
economies at a sacrifice of human
lille. Economy is great word in
Congress and it is tossed about with
a recklessness which pleases the
public but which doesn't do much
toward saving money. If we want
a naval display we have it. If we
want to entertain a princess, we do
so at a cost of $4,000, and do not
give the expenses a second thought.
We have lots of money for royal
and naval picnics, but precious lit
tie for actual necessities. Ii the
government is too poor to erect
public buildings in which to safely
carry Oh its business, it was too poor
to ever commence the erection of
the library building on Capitol Hill.
1t spends lots of money in visiting
Hawaii and on junketing parties,
but it is too poor to erect depart
ments which will not fall down over
the heads of employees. The trouble
with our economy is that it is the
most dangerous and extravagant
virtue we possess.

The viceroy Explains.

SDrLA, June 27.-In explaining to the
India council the bill providing for the
stoppage of free coinage of silver and
other monetary measures, the adoption
of which was announced Monday, the
Marquis of Lansdowne. Yiceroy Of In
dia, said he hoped the government
would not be criticised for disposing of
the important question at Il single sit
ting. The keynote of the scheme was
rather to prevent n further fall III ex-
change than to raise the value of the
rupee.
The fixing of the provisional rate of
exchange at Is I'D provided an auto
matte means of preventing the closing
of the minis and the violent disturbing
of exchange rates. The rate of eE-
change has been fixed high enough to
relieve the government of the most
pressing necessities, while it was well
within the limits of the recent fiuctua-
tions.
There should be no mistake. the
viceroy said. about the facts 1t was
not proposed to substitute gold for the
silver currency. No attempt would be
made at present to fix legal tender
price for gold. While the ratio of value
was mentioned, it was oily provisional
In conclusion the viceroy expressed
the governments sense OF the gravity
or the step IL was about 20 take. Per-
soually he was averse to all attempts
to give money commodities fictitious
value. but the time had arrived when
to remain inactive was impossible.
The government would he unworthy
of the name if it left things alone. it
had not taken the momentous step with
light hearts. He hoped its action would
be fruitful of good results. and that a
sufficient reserve of gold would be ac-
cumulated to make an effective gold
standard possible.
