in the Businesses OF the mountains silver

This is incontrovertible since nobody
knows what proportions were put in. nor
does it concern US. The market for fish is
not regulated by the number put into the
sea but the quantity taken out. We must
depend rather upon mathematics than ge-
ology, and the reports for 1894 show that
the worlds production of gold was $780,

the price is raised. even larger quantities
OF silver will be produced. SO that the
ratio would even be more widely dispro-

This does not prove that silver should
not be used as money. nor that interna-

KANSAS FOR SOUND MONEY.

The Republican free silver conference in
kansas was about as much of a fizzle az
that held by the Bi-metallic League OF that
state a week ago and which turned out 10
be a popullst affair The call for the con-
ference was directed to all Republicans In

and was RESPONDED to by not over one
hundred people.

as moro friendly to silver than any other
state ia the Union Kansas IN more re-
cent years has been a veritable hotDed

strange political movements. and 'f there

large number of believers in 1t could al
wavs be found in that state. Lewelling
and his Popullstic cohorts swept the state
from one end 10 the other in 1892 and there
Is scarcely any form of political fanati-
cism which did not have supporters in

THE CONSULAR SERVICE.

Ths-a "a a movement on foot TO re-
o-ganfze the American consular service
II il al present under control OF the state
department and forms part OF the oiplo-
matte service. The eccenfrictties OF some
OF our ministers abroad point 70 need OF
considerable Improvement in the CAMPER
OF men sent 70 represent this country at
foreign rapfta,s. but on the whole the
cons,ils have acted fairly well Selected
as they are usually with little prior ex-
perience, they have sustained the dignity
OF the country very credstably and have
spared us such snnoyances as those
brought upon the British government by
one OF its representatives in Nicaragua
The change contemplated does not i'm
pugn their characters. II is proposed 20
make them subordinates of the treasury
department, for the reason that they repre-
matte interests OF the country. AS 1t is,
the reports they make concern the treas
ury department fully as much as the state
department. II is part, too, of the duty Of
consuls to certify invoices, to protect the
United States against Questionable i'm
migrants, to look after stranded sailors
and other unfortunate citizens. and to OBJ
serve opportunities for the extension OF
Amsrican commerce.
It is a novel suggestion, and as we have
no department of foreign affairs there Is
much in the idea 10 commend 1t.
