BRITISH POLITICAL CHANGES.

As was anticipated as soon as the
news arrived of the adverse vote in the
British House of Commons, which
meant the defeat of a government
measure. Lord Rosebery has resigned
and Lord Salisbury has been requested
by the Queen to form a ministry. This
may mean great deal more than
mere transference of power from Lib
eral to Conservative hands.
1t makes probable an entire change
of policy both in home affairs and in
foreign affairs. 1t is likely to throw
home rule for Ireland in the back
ground for some time. 1t may have
the effect of instituting more rigorous
proceedings in reference to Turkey in
Armenia, and demand which the Sub
lime Porte will be fearful to reject. 1t
is not unlikely to open the way to an
adjustment of the silver question.
The probability of the last named
change Will be of the greatest interest
to the American people. Should Bal
four be placed in power at the sugges-
ton of Salisbury, or given position Of
prominence ID a Salisbury cabinet, we
may look for some favorable action in
reference to silver. 1t is believed that
Salisbury is in accord with Balfour as
to bimetallism. and it is known that
the latter regards the restoration of
silver as one of the great necessities
of the age.
Lord Rosebery's management of
British affairs will not add much to his
glory. He entered upon the premier
ship with great promise and great ex-
pectations. They have not been real
lied, and his administration has not
been signalized by anything great or
He has reached The zen
eth of his public career, and hereafter
will cut but subordinate figure in the
politics of Great Britain.

AGES OF THE "FATHERs OF THE
REPUBLIC"

For some strange reason nearly all
the artists have persistently represented
the fathers Of the republic" as old mon.
School children, who judge from the pic
lures they see. would conclude that
Washington and jefferson Madison.
Monroe and Hamilton were never young.
When Washing ton took command of the
Continental army he was only 4S years
Of age. and he is generally represented
as an Old man. Madison became the
father of the constitution at Sc. Mon
roe was elected governor of Virginia at
IL. Alexander Hamilton became cap
tain in the Continental army at 10. At
30 years OF age he signed the constitu-
ton, and at 80 became the first secretary
of the treasury Thomas Jefferson wrote
the Declaration of Independence when
he was SO. And he is represented at that
age by the sculptor Valentine in statue
which he has made for Major Lewis
Ginter to adorn the new Jefferson hotel
at Richmond. Mr.. jefferson was six
feet two and a half inches in height,
and Mr.. Valentine had the advantage
of model dressed IN suit of Mr.. JEFF
ferson'S clothes The statue is a little
larger than life, and it has been highly
commended. Let us hope that this is the
beginning of new era in art so far as
the fathers of the republic" are con-
cerned.-Baltimore Sun.

1t will be seen that the production of
silver greatly eXceede the production Of
gold in every one of these periods down
to 1850. How was it with respect to mar
ket ratio? During the period of l0l years
from 1893 to 16tJ the production oil silver
exceeded the production OF gold by more
than 50 per cent. And yet the change in
ratio was from 11.3 to ] to 11.9 to l, or
only about So per cent. 1t will be found
from the tables by a simple process that
during the 80 years from 1900 to 1850 the
production of silver was over 9S rer cent.
more than the production OF ID ~
nearly double, and yet the change in ratio
was only from Is to TO 15l2 to l, or a
little more than 10 per cent. During the
period from $500 to 1850 the production of
silver was 72.7 per cent. more than that
of gold, and yet the market ratio, while
fluctuanting more or less, did not mater
tally change.
Just here came a remarkable change in
production. The great gold discoveries
tralia, and from 1850 to 1873 the produc-
ton Of gold was over 172 per cent. greater
than that of silver. According to the eX-
IRENE gold monometalists gold ought to
have fallen during that period. The ratio
ought to have gone back to something
like - to l, or where IL was in 1850. But,
strange 20 say, it did nothing OF the kind.
Tt obstinately lowered about 151h to /. as
it had done when the excess of produc-
ton was nearly 70 per cent. on the side
of silver.
And here again came another change.
The production of gold fell off. while that
of silver rapidly increased. But has the
relative increase of the latter been so
great as to warrant the conclusion that
silver has lost its place as money met
al? During the period from 1873 to 1892 the
production of silver exceeded that OF gold
by only $50 700, 600 or less than>4 per cent
That is trifing as compared with the 172
per cent. excess of gold productitrl from
1850 to 1873, or the 73 per cent. excess of
silver production from 1900 to 1850.
There is nothing so alarming about this,
or so discouraging to international BIZ
metallists. Especially IS it not discourag-
ing in view of the fact that that produc-
ton of gold increased from S15I, 900 in
1882 to about $1S1 000,0 900 in 1894. while the
production of silver has remained pretty
nearly the same or $196, 1900 yearly.
1t is true, as has already been stated.
that these statistics are NOT conclusive
as to the possibility of maintaining sta
BILE ratio But they do justify the con-
clusion reached by the select committee
of the House of Commons on depreciation
of silver in 1875, and stated in these
words: The conclusion seems justified
that a review of the relations of the
metals in times past shows that the fall
in the price of silver Is not due to any ex-
ceSsive production as compared with
gold The fact is that, as was correctly
pointed out by Mr.. Giffen in his evidence.
the changes have been in the use of the
metals. Gold has come more generally
into use than before Chicago Chronicle.

DISPUTE OVER DAMAGES.

The news from Amy, Wyoming, is
TO the effect that trouble in the courts
is likely to arise over the terrible
disaster, by which 81 persons were
blown into eternity through the ex-
plosion in a coal mine at that place.
The company, who of course deny
that they are legally liable for the
accident or for its consequences to the
surviving. families, have rendered the
offer of 81, 500 for each person killed by
the explosion. This has been declined
by the claimants for damages, but
they have agreed to accept $1,000 for
each person killed and the costs in
CURED in obtaining that amount.
As to the legal liability of the COM
pany we do not care to say much; if
it comes to a test the courts will de-
termine that. But we will say this:
If the company We're not a little fear
full lest a competent court would de-
eide that they We're legally liable, it
is not very likely that they would
voluntarily tender sums which in the
aggregate would foot up $91,5OO.
But that the company are under
moral obligations to do something
handsome for the bereaved families,
whom money cannot compensate for
the losses they have sustained in be-
ing deprived of their chief means of
support and the companionship of
their loved ones, cannot be reason
ably disputed.
It may be that the company honest
ly believe their offer to be magnani-
nous and ample under the circum-
stances. The public will not so de-
eide 1t is doubtful if any court, GER
tainly no jury, would consider the re-
enumeration sufficient. The sum pro-
posed by the sufferers seems small
enough in all conscience, and the COM
pany would do well to pause before
refusing to accede to those terms.
At any rate there ought not to be
litigation over this dispute. It would
be far better to refer the matter to
arbitrator selected in the usual way
A defeat in court of the claimants
would probably mean no compensa-
ton at all. y defeat for the company
would mean greater damages than
are now demanded, besides the costs
that would accrue in prosecuting the
case.
But over and above those con-
tingencies, arbitration would bring
about a much more satisfactory set.
tlement and would save much i'll feel
ing that would surely grow out of
contest in the courts.
Looking at the question without bias
or prejudice one way or another, it
seems that $1,000 is little enough to
accept for a life SO precious to the
bereaved as was each of those which
were sacrificed in the awful catastro-
phe at Amy.
