ONE thing and one thing only is
likely to bring England to terms for in
ternational bimetallism and that is the
assurance of republican control of the
policy of congress, with the inferential
consequence of tariff aimed at Amer
lean control of the American market.
Free trade. as the Capital long ago
pointed out, means simply an excess OF
imports over exports and consequent
constant flow of gold from this country
to England This suits her majesty's
fnanciers all right and they are not
likely to consider bimetallism while this
country with democratic policy is so
completely at their mercy.-Capital.

In the Name of Reform.

Governor Waite's orders to the mill
tia are to protect the strikers from the
deputies sheriffs who have legal war
rants for their arrest, and to leave the
strikers in possession of their arms. In
other words, the chief magistrate of the
state, whose highest dnty is to see that
the laws are enforced, sides with the
lawbreakers and uses the military to
intimidate and coerce the sworn officers
of the law. And this governor was
elected in the name of reform.

To q Cat.

In an old cafe In Venice there lived
a magnificent cat, the pet OF all thu
guests This cat died lately peace
fully, and when the news got about
some neighbors made collection OF
200 francs for the purpose Of erect
ing some sort OF monument. The
work was conflded to two artists, who
modelled the statue Of the cat in clay
and took plaster cast, painted like
bronze. The other evening this lit
tie monument was inaugurated at the
cafe, and so great was the crowd that
the doors had to be shut. The cere.
mony was conducted In serio-comie
style; speeches were made, poetry
was recited, the monument was
placed in position, and, finally the
master Of the cafe was presented with
an album containing prose and verse,
and a number of pretended letters of
coincidence, signed with the names Of
high personages. As the sculptors
refused any remuneration, the sum
collected was distributed among the
