PRESIDENT CARNOT KILLED.

President Carnot of France was assas-
sinated at Lyons at about 9 O'Clock last
Sunday night. His assassin was an
italian, an anarchist. and wal captured
by the police. President Carnot was
serving out the last year Of his seven
year term as Chief Executive Of the
French Republic. He was an able
statesman; conservative and conciliatory;
yet firm in the discharge of his duties.
Indeed, it is probable that his popular
ity was great enough TO have carried
him into the Presidency for another
term had his life been spared to the end
OF his first term.
Carnot came Of a distinguished ances.
try. His paternal grandfather was q
prominent actor in the French Revolu.
tion and became Minister Of War when
the FIRST Republic was formed. He was
also distinguished as an author. His
father was also distinguished for his
public life and also as an author. He
was chosen Senator for life in 1875.

THE EXACT T

When the word ratio is used in con-
nection with the silver question it refers
to the fixed proportion of silver to gold
in a coinage, as fixed by law, that is to
say in the United States, sixteen grains
Of pure silver are declared equal in value
to one grain Of pure gold, and the silver
dollar must therefore contain sixteen
times as many grains of pure silver as
the gold dollar contains grains OF pure
gold. The gold dollar contains 1922
grains and the silver dollar 37l.25 grains
Of their respective metals. II the latter
number be divided by che former the
result will be 10. 9SS to l, which is the
exact ratio, so nearly l6 that this figure
is used for convenience. II the ratio
were changed to say 30 to l. the gold
standard remaining as it is, the silver
dollar would contain twenty times 1922
grains, which is 464.4 grains. Strange
as it may appear, there has been no
change in the standard silver dollar since
the beginning Of the Government, but
the gold standard has been twice
changed, first to the ratio of ITO Is Of
silver and the last time, in 1887, when it
was fixed at % % grains, or to l5.9SS.

steadily flowing from the West for forty.

that the interior Republicans did not

The New York Financial News asserts
that for the first time in 10 years India
is exporting gold to England. In the
course Of o week or two the Bank Of
England will receive 81, 500, 600 from
that country. Under these circum-
stances, asks the Record, what becomes
Of the law which the oddities consider
so inevitable, that the inferior metal
necessarily drives out the superior! For
10 years, while India was driving on q
silver basis, there was no exemplifca-
ton of this driviDg-out law, but just as
soon as she was forced On q gold basis
the law takes on an entirely new phase.
The superior metal begins to drive itself
out. How will the goldites explain this !
The ~palpable explanation is that the gold
basis policy Of England for India was a
crafty scheme to enable England to grab
as much as possible of the gold Of India,
which probably amounts to nearly
81. 00O. 600, 0Co and to depress India to a
still lower level Of degradation and pow
erty. This is the effect which Chan
cellor Goschen predicted and denounced.

The st. Louis Repablic is justly in
dignsnt 81 the Senate surrender to the
sugar trust, but attributes the fact
rather to the opportunity than TO the
men. The Republic says:
"This b~lackmsiling compromise has
proved the necessity Of 9 revenue tariff
as q policy Of legislative morality. II no
economic reasons were involved. II has
proved the necessity of having Southern
and Western men with Southern and
Western ideas in command OF the Demo.
cratic party"
Tarif-for-revenue policy will not
compel Senators to be honest. Under .
tariff for revenue there may be q duty on
sugar or there may not. 1t will depend
upon the view Congress takes Of IL.
Someof the strongest tariff-for-revenue
journals in the country advocate . duty
Of l cent q pound on sugar on purely
revenue principles. There are other ar
| ticles which may be treated in the same
way. The purpose being to get . GER
tain amount Of revenue, discretion may
be exercised in the selection OF articles
| to be taxed. 1t will not do therefore to
attribute the compromise OF which the
Republic complains to the opportunities
q protective tariff affords. In legisla-
tion opportunities can always be made.
II the people elect rascals to office the
people must take the consequence. IL is
| OF little use to try to throw the blame
upon circumstances. That q number OF
Democrats in high position got rich
through the manipulation Of the sugar
schedule of the tariff bill is now gener-
ally believed. But the country will wait
with some curiosity to see if the Demo-
cratic House will carry out the black
mailing compromise the Senate appears
to have entered into.-S. F. Call.

TRUTH AND INAUGURATION.

A Swiss writer who visited the
Worlds Fair, and remained for some
time, writes in . recent issue OF the
News Zuricher Zsitung under the head
line, "what is America y "Ameriea Is
o land compared with which Europe Is
only . peninsula; the United States
forms . country compared with which
the European kingdoms are pigmies'
| America is Q land Of unmeasured dis
tsnces and dimensions; the land OF dol
lars and electricity; the land where the
p~rairies are more extensive. the rivers
mighsier, the waterfalls deeper. the
bridges longer. the lightning expresses
faster, the cstsstrophes more terrible,
than in any other country in the world.
Il is the land where in . single railroad
accidsnt-and one occurs every few days
more people lose their lives thar ID
Europe In q whole year. It is the land
where the houses are higher, the jail
birds more numerous. the rich richer
the poor poorer, the millions greater, the
thieves more daring, the murderers more
shameless, the educated fewer, the teeth
more generally false, the corsets mar
rover, the disease more deadly, corrup-
tion more general the Sum-
mers warmer, the Winters colder, the
| fires hotter, the ice thicker, time more
precious, the men more nervous, than IN
any country in our pastoral Europe. IL
is the land where the old men are
younger aud the young men older, the
negroes biacker, the whites more yellow
than in any other place. 1t Is
the land Of immesurable natural wealth.
| In short, il is the land Of extraordinary
| contrasts, OF strange extremes OF nom
s~ensical pride, Of reckless money-hunt-
ing, Of senseless craze for gain-the land
Of the colossal and the pyramidal-of
course, in the opinion Of Americans.
How many have gone from our peaceful
home to the land Of false hopes to seek
| riches, fortune and better life and have
been lost, either in the cutters
of the great cities or the sands
Of the prairies How many have
been glad, when poor and deserted and
broken in heart and soul, to sail back to

THE VALUE OF WIVES.

In the earliest times OF purchase, q
woman was battered for useful goods or
for services rendered to her father. In
this latter way Jacob purchased Rachel
and her sister Leah. This was a Beena
marriage, where a man, as in Genesis,
leaves his father and his mother and
c~leaves unto his wife, and they become
one flesh or kin-the woman's. The
price Of q bride in British Columbia and
Vancouver Island varies from 500 to
500 worth of articles. In Oregon an
Indian gives for her horses. blankets or
buffalo robes; in California she'll money
or horses; in Africa cattle.
A poor Damara will sell 3 daughter for
a COW; a richer Ksfr expects from three
to thirty. With the Banysi, if nothing
can be given. her family claim her chill
dren. In Uganda, where no marriage
recently existed, she may be obtained
for half q dozen needles, or a coat, or a
pair of shoes. An ordinary price is a
box Of percussion caps. In other parts,
a goat or a couple Of buckskins will buy
a girl. Passing to Asia, we find her
price is sometimes five to fifty rubles, or
at others a CARLOAD Of wood or hay. A
Princess may be purchased for 5000 ru-
bles.
In Tartary a woman can be obtained
for a few pounds Of butter. or where q
rich man gives twenty small oxen. a
poor man may succeed with a pig. In
Fiji her equivalent is . whales tooth or
a musket. These, and similar prices
elsewhere. are eloquent testimony to the
little value a savage sets on his wife.
Her charms vanish with her girlhood.
She is usually married while q child, and
through her cruel slavery and bitter life
she often becomes old and repulsive ct

"What will we do with our girls ?" is
a question asked by a late magazine. At
present, the answer is easy, for they
may be disposed Of in the good, old
way; but after a time, the daughter Of
the modern mother will be so mannish
that q man will not want her. The
problem Of what to do with the girls
will always be easy of settlement if the
girls are but reared into the womanly
womanhood that manly manhood likes.
