Neither of these will constitute any great
hardship to China. as it already has more
territory than it can we'll control, and it
has resources which will make large in
demnity a light burden. In fact it seems
very clear that this war will be of much
greater advantage to China in every way
than any indemnity that can well be asked.
China has suffered greatly, not only in
this war; but in general interests. from the
childish aversion of the people to foreign
devils" and their resistance of foreign
Innovations. If this war shall have edu-
Gated them to the advantage Of foreign
methods Of war. and freed them from their
idea that they are the wisest people on
ization by the adoption Of the modern
triumrhs of peace also. If it shall develop
the construction Of railroads it will bring
to the world a valuable commerce. which
will more rapidly advance the education Of
the Chinese to the benefits Of our civiliza-
ton. There will. naturally. result a de-
velopment of the counry's resources which
will add to its wealth far more than all the
expense Of the war.
The advantage to Corea is assured. 1t
has always held close relations Of commerce
with Japan, and freed from Chinese control
it will necessarily be largely under Japanese
influence if not under actual control. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that japanese con-
troll is the best control in eastern Asia.
Japan has amazed the world by its phenom-
email advances in the last ten years. and is
now on a basis of equality with many Of
the hgh-rank nations in the liberalty of its
form Of government and the wisdom of its
economic policy. Its people have demon
strated their high character and patriotism,
and our government has done no more than
justice in making its pending treaty with
japan on the basis of treaties with first
class powers Under its influence Corea
must advance rapidly from the exclusive
policy that it has maintained under Chinese
influence. It is a country Of great natural
resources. but the holding of many of them
as monopolies of the crown, and its per-
sistent opposition to foreign intercourse, have
prevented their natural development. We
do not doubt that the future historian will
find this war an important factor in the de-
velopment of the world.

law. The court holds that portion of the
law which refers to the amount of fees
to be collected is in force, in the Lake
county case concerning the amount that
can be collected for filing a mortgage, and
presumably therefore it does not con-
template the overthrow of any part of the
law except so much as refers to the
salaries of treasurers. auditors and re-
corders
Still more perplexing is the question as
to how these officials as to whom the law
is unconstitutional are to be paid. The
court calls attention to the fact that it
does not decide this question. In one case
it decides that the act is unconstitutional
in so far as it provides a salary for re-
corders. In the other 1t decides that the
portion Of the act which fixes the fees to
be collected by recorders is constitutional.
But this portion of the act also provides
that the fees so collected shall be paid
into the county treasury and that they
shall belong TO the county. Unless this
be held unconstitutional the officials will
have neither salaries nor fees. All former
laws IN conflict with this act are re-
pealed by the act. 1t is not TO be sup
posed, however, that any court would
bring about situation that would prac-
tically destroy the administrative depart
ment Of the government, and therefore it
may be assumed that it must eventually
decide that the treasurers. auditors and
recorders are entitled to take the fees pro-
vided by law to be collected by them in
lieu Of the salaries unconstitutionally pro-
vided. This would of course cause a
general readjustment of compensation al
ready received, but that is trifling as COM
pared with the calamity of losing the law.
We regret that the court could not have
seen its way clear TO another decision.

SILVER AND WAGES.

In commenting on the discussion of the
silver question by the Transmississippi
congress the News says:
Commodities have been cheapened, it is
true. but wages have been advancing for
years, even in England which is today
the great mOnomega,lic country of the
world. Is this a bad thing? VIII any
sane man maintain that falling prices and
rising wages are things to be deplored?
The News is one Of the few gold mono
metallic papers of the United States, and
for the enlightenment Of the community. it
ought to furnish some evidence in support
Of these statements, which are SO COM
monty made concerning wages by mono
metallist writer's. That there has been
large increase In wages since 1850 is I'M
questionably true. but it is not true that
there has been any advance since 1878. The
two periods stand in most remarkable con-
trast. The latest and best authority on
this subject in the United States is the re-
port of the senate finance committee. which
shows the relative movement of wages as
follows.

FOLLY OF EXTREMISTS.

There is something almost pathetic in the
pertinacity of men who blindly insist on
a policy that will defeat their own pur-
poses, and there was never a stronger
example of it than is furnished by the
free coinage men of this country. It is not
properly a thing to be ridiculed. 1t is a
fault of earnest men--too earnest men. But
it is extremely unfortunate in its results.
The vast majority of the people in this
country are either bimetallists or silver
monometallists. and the vast majority of
the latter honestly imagine that they are BIZ
metallists. The gold monometallists are
comparatively but a handful. If the men
who really desire circulation Of gold and
silver on a basis of equality could be
brought together and made to understand
each other the cause of bimetalism would
acquire such an impetus that nothing
could stop it, but it seems utterly impos-
sble to obtain even an approach to any
kind of understanding. The dissensions Of
Americans who desire a restoration of BIZ
metalism form the greatest obstacle to
its restoration. In the meeting of the free
coinage men at st. Louis, Mr.. w. ].
Bryan, former representative in congress
and chairman of this meeting. declared the
position of himself and probably that of
nine-tenths of his hearers, as follows:
There were three propositions to be met,
the question of ratio the limited coinage
of silver. the coming or silver alone or
with the aid Of foreign nations. To these
propositions he had but this answer-16 to
l on unlimited coinage and by the United
States without the aid of any nation on
earth.
All bimetallists will consent to his second
roposition-unlimited coinage-for every
one recognizes that bimetallism cannot be
maintained even by the united nations of
the earth without free coinage. but by his
other two propositions Mr.. Bryan at once
drives from his company the entire force
of bimetallists and shuts himself up with
the silver monometallists, who are much
the less in number. What does Mr.. Bryan
gain by that, and what good purpose can
he serve by such a declaration? Suppose
that bimetalism could be attained by this
country alone, what reason can be given
for objection to France, Italy, Spain,
Switzerland, South America, China, Japan
and Mexico joining with US? What harm
could come from their uniting with us in
the movement, even If their assistance
were not necessary? Mr.. Bryan must GER
tainly know that hundreds of thousands of
his fellow-citizens believe that their assist
ance is necessary; and what policy is
there in this declaration of warfare on the
largest class of men who desire bimetal-
ism?
And. further than this, why should Mr..
Bryan insist on a ratio of 16 to /? It may
