PRESIDENT CLEVELAND TO
GOVERNOR STONE.

President Cleveland has written a
letter to Governor Stone, of Mississip-
pi, in reply to one from the Cover
nor. The President says, in part:
have never ceased to wonder why
the people of the South, furnishing SO
largely as they do products which are
exported for gold, should be willing
to submit to the disadvantages and
loss of silver monometallism and to
content themselves with a depreciat-
ed and fuctuating currency, while
permitting others to reap profit
from the transmution of the prices of
their productions from silver to gold.
I hope that they will be permitted to
see the pitfall which is directly before
those who madly rush toward the
phantom light of free. unlimited, and
independent silver coinage.
If there are Democrats who suppose
that our party can stand on a plat
form embodying such doctrine, either
through it's affirmative strength or
through the perplexity of our op-
ponents on the same proposition, or
if there are Democrats who are will
ing to turn their backs upon their
party association in the hope that
free and unlimited and Independent
coinage of silver can win in victory
without the aid of either party Or
ganization, they should deceive them
selves no longer nor longer refuse to
look in the face the results that will
follow the defeat, if not the disin-
tegration, of the Democratic party
upon the issue which tempts them
from their allegiance. If we should
be forced away from our traditional
doctrine of sound and safe money our
old antagonist will take the field on
the platform which we abandon, and
neither the votes of reckless Demo
Gratis nor reckless Republicans will
avail to stay their easy march to
power.

George U. Crocker, in the April No.
American ReUielO, says that fire insur-
ance rates in the United States are
five times as high as in England, near
ly seven times higher than in Ger
many and twelve times higher than
in France. Agents and brokers' COM
missions are responsible for these
rates, he says. He reports that in
one of the largest and best of the
American fire companies the brokers
and agents receive an amount in COM
missions equivalent to 2s per cent of
the sum paid for fire loss, and brok-
ers, officers and employees altogether
get Al per cent of the amount paid to
the insured.

Wheat is advancing in price in COM
pany with beef. This would be all
very well were it sure that the pro-
ducers were the beneficiaries. But
there is a lurking suspicion that un-
scrupulous spectators are reaping
the wheat harvest as well as raking
in the lions share of the profits on
beef. and that thus the producers gain
nothing, while the consumers suffer.

TO UNDERMINE PARIS.
Great Feature of Exposition of 1900 May
Be Mine Mile Deep.

Paris April 20.-Preparations for the
monster exposition of 1900 are actively
going Oh. The full ground plans Of the
edif1ces and gardens are now ready. 1t
has been decided to retain the Eiffel
tower (there had been some talk of
demolishing it). but it's appearance Will
be considerably modified. Engineers,
architects and the promoters of the ex-
position in general are raoking their
brains to find "novel features" The most
interesting proposal is that made by NJ.
Paschal Grousset, a Radical deputy. NJ.
Grousset proposes to bore mine, 1900
metre $50 (foot) in depth, in the middle
OF the exposition grounds. Such a mine
would. he argues. settle forever the dis
puted question as to whether or not the
interior of the earth is mass of ire, for
at depth Of nearly 800 feet the tempera-
ture would sensibly increase, if the CON
tention of many geologists be correct.
The experience Of miners shows that
below certain depth the temperature
rises one degree Centigrade per thirty
three Metres. If this law continues to
hold good at greater depths, a tempera-
ture of 100 degrees Centigrade above the
ordinary temperature Of the locality
kilometres. and at twenty kilometres a
temperature of 666 degrees-a tempera-
lure at which most substances melt.
NJ. Grousset is astonished that men
should never have sought to verify
question of such importance, and sug-
gests that the occasion of great exhibit
ton would be well ADAPTED to the expert
ment. since the curiosity of the public
might be made to cover the cost of the
undertaking.
He suggests further that horizontal
galleries SHOULD be exoavated at various
depths and united by vertical shafts
served by elevators. In these galleries
might be constructed small coal, gold,
diamond and iron mines; tropical land
scapes; sections of the Partisan sub-soil
and other attractions. There would be
electric light and perfect ventilation.
The cost of the whole undertaking NJ.
Grousset estimates at 100000 francs
(S3, 900, 000). The questions he hopes TO
elucidate by it are : (a) Whether the
theory of the central fire of the earth be
fact or fiction; (b) whether this source
OF internal heat, if such exists, be access
sible and utilizable; (c) whether or not
the sub-soil Of Paris serves as roof to a
vast ocean of soft water.

It may lead to serious conse-

not do it, because it means more
than a simple cold. SCOTS
