Chinese who smuggled themselves into
this country outwitted the law those who
were here lawfully and refused to register

defiers should be sent home at whatever
necessary expense.

1t was in the Prince of Wales company
that Mr.. Gladstone was hopted, at the re-
ception in the Imperial Institute. This
harsh voice Of the mob-the swell mob in
faet-was therefore an insult to the heir
apparent. The Prince has shown Ills
opinion of the unruly demonstration by
apologizing to the aged Premier. The
snobs will hardly like that. What will be
Gladstone's reply? 1t is not likely to see
the light. OF late the Prince has given in
dlcations of change of manner toward
Gladstone. He has doubtless become con-
WINGED that home rule is inevitable. and
that as far as the throne goes its stability
is unchanged. In savoir faire, the Prince
has shown decided gifts. 1t is not his
policy to identify himself too closely with
any political party, but rather to be agree
able to all.
Mr.. Lidderdale. ex-governor of the Bank
of England. was at the head of affairs
when the Barring crash took place and he
did much to extrcate finance from the
dangers then imminent. The Barring
liquidation has gone on very satisfactorily
ever since. Evidently Mr.. Lidderdale is
not unduly excited about affairs in Aus
tralia. He believes they will come round
without impairing the monetary eQuili-
brium in any permanent way. The gold

will, he thinks. flow back in the autumn

England. But, if it does begin to slip
away alarmingly. the course of the bank is
to increase the rate of discount, and that
brings the screw to bear upon the market.
We must study the situation from our
point of view.

OF mixing drinks. and no doubt few new
ideas on the subject will be evolved for
confusing application. Cock tails are on
the paper for the first days business, and
so much may be gravely said on that topic
that 1t would not be exhausted in a fort
night. Perhaps quite as useful a study
might be made of the nomenclature of
drinks. The phrases and terms are be-
coming so technical and mysterious that
they deserve an appendix to themselves in
Webster. Punches and long drinks are
also inexhaustible themes, and the quality
of liquors and their adulterants should not
be neglected.

Perfdious man or negligent contractors

as shipwreck, that none of them died
from fright or faintiDg fits. The floor gave
way and about 100 of the delegates had a

shaken, and probably number will long
have occasion to remember the incident
from sprains and bruises.
Coaching seems to excite extraordinary
interest among the American colony in
Paris. The four-in-hands start in various
directions from the Avenue de rOpera, and
are crowded with passengers who have the
distinction of having their names tele-
grapbed across the Atlantic to fill the gos-
sip column. A spriBkling of people who
are assumed to be illustrious because they
have titles adds to the eclat of these excur-
sions.
