THINGS THAT ARE POSSIBLE.

When an importer in silver country
buys bill of goods on credit in a gold
country he does not know what he will
have to pay for them. He may know how
many gold dollars he will have to pay, but
be does not know what those gold dollars
will cost. In a silver country gold is a
commodity to be bought and sold with the
silver currency of the country. If gold
rises it will take more silver dollars to
liquidate a gold debt. II gold falls con-
trary result follows.
This fact gives some body to the report
that Russia is putting silver behind her
currency with view to the extension of
her trade with Asiatic silver-using coun-
tries. 1t is quite possible to coin piece
of money in Russia that shall be a legal
tender for all debts not especially payable
in gold. With such coin in existence the
Asiatic merchant would buy, other things
being equal, in a country which accepted
his silver at par in payment of goods. He
would thus avoid the fluctuations to which
he is exposed while be trades with coun-
try that demands payment in gold. Ii

POLITICAL OFFENDERS.

A morning contemporary assumes that
political offender seeking refuge on board
of a merchant vessel in port Of country
against which bis offense has been COM
mitted should be surrendered on demand.
: Tais conclusion is reached through the
assumption that a criminal would be sur
rendered and the assertion that the master
of "a vessel has no right to judge of the
quality of the alleged political offenders
offepse. The journal asserts also that il is
for the courts to determine the nature of
ali offense. not the master of merchant
vessel.
There has been a general impression that
the Dictator of Honduras had got himself
in a scrape by ordering Honduras forts to
fire on the Costa Rica, but the idea is now
given out that it is the captain of the
Costa Rica who has made trouble for him.
self and his Government. The Honduras
forts, 1t is con;eDded, had perfect right to
fire upon the Costa Rica upon the refusal
of her captain to surrender BOnilla. The
law laid down by our contemporary will
hardly work in practice. A passenger
steamer might be repeatedly detained on a
demand to surrender a passenger against
whom some charge is preferred. In most
cases a captain of a steamer cannot wait
until charges are heard. He must sur
render his passenger or refuse 10 do
so. At the same time. while declining
to surrender passenger against whom
only political offense is urged be might
decline also to allow his vessel to be
the means of escape for offenders
against the common laws of nations. A
person who is charged with political
offense may be in all other respects a
model man. He may be patriot whose
strike for liberty had been unsuccessful.
He may be deserving CT the thanks of
every friend of humanity, but who had
been overthrow by a tyrant's superior
force. Are we to tolerate construction
of law which makes us a party to expose
an escaped patriot to death at the hands of
his oppressor? At least American ships
should not be used for such purpose.
Any international law that can be estab-
lished will be attended with occasional
embarrassments. An occasional criminal
might escape through the construction of
law which allows passenger steamer to re-
fuse to surrender passenger against whom
charge of some nature is preferred. But
the evil which could result from this con-
struction of law would be trif1ing when
compared to that which would require a
passenger steamer TO hand over any per-
son against whom charge might be pre-
farr4d

WAITING FOR THE VERDICT.

It might be an act of wisdom on the part
of the Cleveland administration to leave
tariff revision to the Congress to be elected
in 1894 There has been one verdict in
favor of revision on revenue lines and one
against such revision. The negative ver-
dict is not only the latest. but the most
emphatic. In the States where the tariff
was the dominant issue the verdict has
been against revision. Ohio's $4,000 for
Mckinley was protest against revision.
The 10000, more or less, against free-trade
Russell ia Massachusetts is only little less
significant New York is assumed by
Democrats to have voted against Maynard,
but New Workers are much addicted to the
habit of magnifying local issues. The Re-
publicans have as good right to assume
that the verdict this year is against tariff
revision as the Democrats had last year TO
assume tnat tariff revision was wanted.
President Cleveland has one chance to
recover a measure OF his lost popularity.
If he will advise Congress TO let the tariff
alone until the people have spoken again
he will afford an evidence of craftsmanship
his public career has not yet exhibited.

Those who have been privileged to wit
ness the acting of M. Coquelin and the
other members of the French company
now at the Opera-house have an excep-
tioDally good opportunity to contrast it
with such acting as was possible with the
Irving company. 1t is a contrast between
dramatic ability riveting attention by it,
self and the spirit of the play, and interest
sustained for the most part by clothes and
scenery, which fascinate the eye and ex-
cite wonder, but leave nothing to reflect
upon when the play is over. M. CoQuelin
would be as entertaining in great range
of characters if performing in barn,
without familiar stage accessories. as he is
behind the footlights in @ fashionable
theater. The audience ceases to think
about the stage or scenery or any carpenter
tricks. 1t thinks only of the acting

the same, while it is claimed that each is a
separate concern, doing business on an
en- tirely independent basis.
The same parties control the San Luis
Obispo Bitumen Company and the Con-
soldated Bitumen Company, which are
also separately incorporated and conducted.
The Consolidated Mining Company,
which stands alone In competition with
this strong combination, has been almost
wiped out of existence through the strenu-
Gus efforts Of its competition, that has
managed. through its various side COM
panieS to secure &c less than eight writs of
attachment for sundry sums and placing
the headquarters in charge Of the Sheriff.
The mining company, however, has sup
piled the pool with bitumen from its
rich BEDS but is at loss to know which
of the side issues is responsible for the
debt.
A few months ago the Pacific Paving
Company, through its president, A. c..
BaSsett, contracted with the mining COM
pany for the latter to furnish stated
amount of rock, which was duly supplied
and forwarded to Utah. When the bill
was presented to Mr.. Bassett, president of
the pool, for collection, that gentleman re-
fused to settle, claiming that the proper
course to pursue was TO forward the &C
count to Salt Lake City, where the head
quarters of the Utah concern are located
This was done, and an answer came that
Mr.. BaSSett was responsible for the bill,
being president of both companies. A suit
against the Utah firm would be of no
avail, it being indentically the same as the
san francisco urn, ana 1or THIS reason the
attachment issued yesterday against the
paving company of somewhere was insti-
tuted.
l.. Walrath Of the mining company was
seen yesterday, and appeared to be very
indignant at the manner in which his cor
pOration had been abused. He intends to
fight the matter TO the bitter end through
the courts and endeavor to ascertain which
of the numberless companies he has been
dealing with, which he claims is problem

MASSACHUSETTS AND IOWA.

The most significant of Tuesdays flops
were in Massachusetts, and Iowa. In New
York the Democrats helped their defeat
by placing On their ticket the name of a
man whom the most honorable members
of the party declared that they could not
support. In Ohio the Democracy took
their usual medicine in a stronger dose
than is customary, partly perhaps because
a strong feeling was reused for Mckinley
by his personal worth, but mainly because
of old economic policy of which he is now
the leading exponent.
Bnt the return of Iowa and Massa-
chusetts to the Republican fold is mo-
mentous sign. II the late election in those
States is anything more than a f1eetipg re-
action in the Democratic drift, it will be-
.hooye political seers to revise their prog
n Osis and to cast fresh horoscope. Massa-
chusetts has always been a leader of pub
lie opinion 1t was one of the earliest
States to accept the Republican party as
the lineal successor of the Wing party.
1t was stanchly and unflinchingly Re-
publicsn throughout the war and the
period of reconstruction. Itnever wavered
in the faith even when Pennsylvania and
New York thought that enough had been
done for anti-slavery, and Ohio was wob-
bling. In those trying days when Ray
mond and Greeley and Dix followed side
currents to political death, the grand old
Bay State stood like a rock, and the
country followed its lead. because it was
known that its people were wise and
honest. The North did not see any relia-

guilty of no con spicuous frauds. II Green
halge had won by one or two thousand ma
jority, the event would have signifed
nothing. But majority of 10000 may be
very significant indeed.
The change in Iowa is almost equally
startling. After the war, Iowa was
peopled by veterans and their relations.

in spite of the fact that the most popular

THE MOUNDS PRETEXT.

A morning paper is little hard OF Con-
gresham Geary for not securing an ap-
propriati on to carry out the requirements
of the McCreary act. The impression
seems to exist in the mind of the journal
referred to that the act could be of no use
without an especial appropriation. It is
understood that there is a con sdera BILE
sum of money at the disposal Of the au-
thorities available for Chinese deporta-
ton which can be used to provide ma
chinery for registration. A very large
appropriation is not needed. The work is
done by two or three clerks in. the Inter-
nal Revenue Department and should not
cost more than about fifty cents for each
registration. Congress meets again In
about twenty days. and it will be found
easier to get a small appropriation thr ough
than to pass the original bill.
