THE ACTS OF 1873 AND 1878.

The Chicago Tribune says concerning
the coinage act of 1873: Nobody cared
whether the silver dollar was dropped from
mint coinage or not, because it was de-
monetized by its value and would not cir
culate as money" The theory of bimetal-
ism Is that the metal at the moment the
cheaper in the market will be coined: rhe
metal Of the dearer will be held back. But
the coinage of the cheaper and the holding
back Of the deareI Will in time cause the
cheaper to appreciate. Then as the metals
approach in market value the one that had
been the dearer will appear at the mint.
The act of 1873 shut out silver when it
ceased to be dearer than gold. II the silver
dollar had not been dropped from the list of
American coins it would have been offered
freely at the mint before 1875. Then there
might have been period of some months,
or possibly years, during which no gold
would have been coined. But the stock of
both would have been available, both
being full legal tender. The apprehen-

THE STORM OVER.

So far as California is concerned the
financial furry is over. The banks are re-
Stunning their normal relations to indus
tries. When men whose business it is to
look for clouds and whose responsibility
incliDes them to magnify danger signals
voluntarily declare the skies serene, the
community at large may safely devote
themselves to the com pleton of old enter
prises ana the promotion of new ones.
There are things now at work which will
put a new face on affairs in California.
The Stockton and Bakersfield Railroad is
an event by itself. but of vast Importance
as the first step in a new policy. The
manner in which business men of large
means have rallied to the support of DOM
peting road is an assurance that other parts
of the State will not be left to the tender
mercies Of the Southern Pacific.

Correspondence Of THE MORNING CALL.

HONOLULU. Fl. l.. July ia new
treaty has been drawn up by the Pro-
visioual Govern ment and will be for
warded to Washington by tho next
steamer. The document contains five arti-
cles, which are briefly as follows:
Article l cedes from the date of ex-
change OF ratification of the treaty, with
out reserve, all rights OF sovereignty in
and over the Hawaiian Islands and depen-
denotes to the United States, to become an
integral part thereof.
Article II cedes and transfers the bso-
lutte fee of all Government and crown
lands, public buildings. ports. harbors,
fortificatIons, military or naval equip.
ments and all other public property.
Article III provides that the existing
Government of the Hawaiian Islands and
laws relating TO its internal policy are to
be continued for five years, to he executed
and carried out under the direction If a
United States Commissioner. appointed
by the President and Senate, said Com
mi ssioner to reside in the Hawaiian
Islands with power to veto within ten
days any act passed by the Local Govern
ment, which shall thereupon become void
unless afterward approved by the Presi-
dent OF the United States.
Article " prohibits the immigration of
Chinese laborers into the Hawaiian
Islands until such time as Congress shall
provide further legislation; it also pro-
hbits Chinese laborers now here from en-
tering the United States. Otherwise the
immigration and labor laws to remain
as they are where they do not come in to
conflict with the constitution of tho
United States or such future laws as Con-
gress may provide.
Article V provides that the public debt

but the Hawaiian Government shall con-
time to pay the interest thereon. Con-
gress is to provide the future currency of

THE AMERICAN MALADY.

DR.. Weir Mitchell, the eminent specialist
on nervous diseases. has just given to the
public few thoughts on the new disease
known as nervous depression" which are
worth study. DR.. Mitchell says that the
more than twenty times in the last forty
years. and that now nervous depression
ves with consumption as destroyer of
life. the two together being responsible for
one-half the dea his that occur in the United
States. 1t might be worth while to verify
the fact. for certainly tables of mortality
do not confirm it. In the last published
ia Bile of mortality for this city diseases Of
the nervous system are only credited with
755 deaths out of 6911. Still, that's a large
proportion for a class of diseases which
were so rare two or three generations ago
that they were seldom studied at medical
colleges.
Setting aside for the moment the exact
proportion which the deaths caused by
nervous depression bear to the total num-
Der of deaths, we find that DR.. Weir

nervous diseases by the climate. lie says
that it is chiefly due to the frequent. sud-

adds that these predisposing causes are
aided by the mad rush and perpetual strain
OF our business life, and by the dollhouse
system OF education which wrecks the con-
situations of boys and girls and yields
crop OF young invalids, young drug vic
tins, young inebriates, young maniacs,
young suicides.
There Is sober truth in all this. The
climate is not perhaps so much to blame
as the learned doctor assumes. We have
all sorts of climates in this country, and
nervous depression appears to prevail
about equally under all of them; climates
sim liar to those Of Philadelphia, New
York. Boston. Chicago and San Francisco

NOT PARALLEL CASES.

Some of our Eastern exchanges consider
the policy of the Canadian Government in
extending aid to the Canadian Pacific
Railroad Company reason why the Amer
lean Government should deal literally
with American transcOntinental lines.
One of these Eastern papers says:
Only demagogues and ignoramuses refuse to
admit that a transcontnental line, unlike a
road IN the settled East or SOulh needs outside
support to supplement the receipts from the
traffic afforded by the sparsely settled country
through which all transcontinental lines run
greater part of their length.
This paragraph may be accepted as
leading up to the proposition to refund the
debts of the Central and Union Pacific
companies. The public will be told in
books of many chapters how many miles
of unproductlve country these roads run
through. But nothing will be said about
the $3.50. 600, 600. or Whereabouts. which the
original owners Of these roads have apprO-
prated to their personal uses. l: will be
shown. perhaps. that it would be hard
ship to compel them to pay their debts,
but scant reference will be made to like
hardshlps imposed upon men engaged In
other pursuits. AS for the Canadian Pa
cifc, the remedy against unjust COMPETE
ton is in our own hands. Our laws
forbid Canadians from doing our lake
and coast transportation business, but
permit Canadian roads, which enjoy
the advantages Of large Govern
ment subsidies. to take merchandise
from one American port and deliver it in
another. II there is disposition to re-
lieve our American roads from this I'M
equal competition, the law against water
transportation should be enforced against
land transportation. 1t will not do for
railroad organs to contend that the aid
extended TO the Can adam Pacific justies
like policy on our part. In the case of
American roads. giving aid to arailroad
company is, in effect. providing individuals
with the wherewith to debauch the repre-
sentatives OF the people. The Railroad
Age says that the Canadian Pacific has
received from Government in one form
and another 1872, 100000. The Dominion
Government contributed S146 791, 000 and
provincial legislative bodies added $780,
S23, 900.
The Age continues: "When one copsid-
ers what Canada would be without its
railroads. which private capital would not
have dared to build, he sees that the Gov

was necessary and wise" For Canada.

STILL WILLING.

The Provisional Government OF Hawaii
does not apparently consider President
Cleveland's hostile attitude as an express
sion of the will Of the people of the United
States. Another treaty has been drafted,
with view to avoid some minor objections
to the treaty the late President Harrison
approved Of. The principal change in the
new treaty is the surrender of the labor
question to the United States to settle.
The immigration of Chinese is prohi bited
until the United States changes its preseu,
policy, and the Chinese now on the islands
are not allowed to enter the United States.
Government lands and buildings will be
handed over to the United States. The
treaty IL slightly more favorable to the
United States than the original one, and
if the President Is convinced that no is on
the wrong side Of the question he may ac-
cspt the new one.

now than he was year ago. The fact Is
due partly to the rapid depreciation Of
Cleveland stock and partly to Mr.. HIPS
perception of the Importance Of public
issues. Some months ago Mr. Hill took
financial ground in opposition to the adj
ministration. He contended that the
financial plank in the Democratic party
was plank 10 stand upon, as well as to
get In on. Cleveland had nothing to say
against the plank until after the election,
but has been kicking vigorously at it ever
since. On this question Mr.. Cleveland is
backed by Wall street. but the present APP
pearances are that Mr.. Hill is backed by
the bulk of his party

which comprise the bulk Of the people
everywhere, undoubtedly work harder
here than elsewhere. and they put more
energy into their work. They accomplish
larger results, but the triumph is pur-
chased at the cost OF disperdition of vital
force which sooner or later produces
LESSONS Of the nervous system.
The remedy is to slow down the vital
machine. to devote more time to whole
some recreation and less to work and make
things more than even by living longer.
A London merchant rarely reaches his
Office before 10 o'clock and leaves at 4; the
American merchant Is seldom later than 9.

numerous in America, and to such a care
full consideration of DR.. Mitchelps ideas
can hardly fail of being profitable.

A Sinper'S Suicide.

Adam Waldorf, who was well known to
the patrons of the Tivoli as one Of the

razor, severing the arteries and bleeding to
death. He mad been sick for several days
and was consequently respondent About
two dozen empty morphine bottles wers
