We very much regret to learn Of the
approaching departure of Mr.. F. W..
Stolte, one of the deputy collectors at
this port, he having been ordered to re-
port tor duty the Goth inst, at Toronto.
Mr.. Stolte has been in Island Pond only
a short time, and he has shown himself
to be such a man socially and otherwise
that we should be glad to see him remain
in town, but he goes where duty calls.
Much as we regret that he can no longer
be retained here, we join most heartily
with his numerous frcads in congratulate
ing him upon his preterment, and in
wishing him all possible success in his
new field of labor.

STOW LAKE.

Park Commissioner Stow will not relish
the idea of the lake at the base of
Strawberry Hill. which he has adorned
with his name, being taken possession OF
as a speculation. The lake was con-
structed with the peoples money. The
water which converts an embankment
into lake is supplied by machinery paid
for out of park revenues. There Is moth
ing connected with the lake which can be
considered private property. except few
boats which were imported from the East
for the reason that In the dull times pre-
vailing on the other side of the noun aims
the boats could be built at less cost there
than here. Some months ago when an
enterprising party constructed a merry
go-round in the chldren's playground and
charged children cents a ride there was
an Outcry on the ground that tie park
was for the poor as we'll as the lich. and
that charge OF any kind was discrimi-
nation against the poor. There were COL
umns written descriptive of the grief of
children whose parents could not afford
the cents necessary to happiness. The
matter has since been adjusted on the
basis of a charge as low as the cost of the
all for boating purposes. should be regu-
lated the same way. The commission
should provide boats and let them out At
as low rates as possible without losing
money. Ten cents an hour would be
sufficient charge to cover all expenses.
If the Park Commissioners want to kill
the park as public resort there cannot
be found more direct way To accomplish
that purpose than to grant exclusive privi-
leges to spectators. The park should be
free to every person who enters ii. with
such restraints as may be necessary to
preserve it from depreciation. II one man
with small political pull gets one coDces-
sion, another with stronger pull will de-
mand larger one, and it would not be
long before the whole park would be con-
verted into kind of Midwinter Fair ba-
zaar-shop, where everything was for sale.

CURRENCY STATISTICS.

The statistics Secretary Carlisle has
transmitted TO the Senate show that two
countries in which the coinage of silver
has been suspended since 1873 are doing
business on paper basis. These two
countries are Russia and the Argentine
Republic. The same is substantially true
of Brazil, though that nation was not men,
toned in the Secretary's statement. Russia
suspended silver coinage in 1876 and IS now
doing business with silver rubles, paper
payable In silver, and credit rubles, which
are kind of fat currency. Russia In its
national dealings is on The gold basis. 1t
issues gold bonds. pays interest in gold.
and in making purchase on Government
account makes gold the basis OF transac-
tions. Argentina is reported by Secretary
Carlisle as practically on the gold standard.
The term practically" might be supplied
with the word theoretically" Argentina
has issued gold bonds, like Guatemala and
Mexico. but 1t has no gold for business
purposes. The value of its paper cur
rency fuctuates. bu, as it is not redeemed
its rise and fall is determined rather by
local markets for products than by the
commercial value of gold or silver. The
fact Ia four or five nations have pretty
much all the gold in their national treas
uries or in national bonds. None of them
have gold enough TO redeem any consider
able portion OF their paper currency with.
England is receiving gold from all the
nations of the commercial world, but It's
stock is less than that of France. Should
three or four large silver nations default
on their bonds the supply of gold which
equalizes her adverse balance of trade
would be materially reduced.

A PRETTY GOOD DEMOCRAT.

Congressman Wilson has set an exam
pie some of the Senators might follow with
benefit to their party standing. The tariff
bill which he prepared for the House. and
which the House passed and sent to the
Senate and to which the Senate has at
tached between four and five hundred
amendments, is still, in Mr.. Wilson's
opinion, pretty good bill. The amend
ments are mostly in the direction of a
Republican protective policy, but Mr..
Wilson does not seem TO mind that. He
wants the present Congress to pass some
kind of bill. and If it cannot pass such a
bill as their national platform called for,
let them pass such bill as they can pass.
Possibly Mr.. Wilson's recent illness has
had a chastening effect upon him.
