TN OFFICIAL PAPER.
Sitter in Germany.

Germany is moro than likely to
range itself with the United States
on the side Of international bimetal-
ism. In vesy many respects the Po-
sitions of fhe two countries are alike
az regards the question of finance.
Germany in 1871 and 1873 enacted
laws denonetiZing silver, making gold
the sole standard of value and calling
in all silver coins previously issued
and circulated i'll the states Of the
German empire. The result was that
Germany had to purchase gold for
coinage with her discarded silver, and
this not only caused gold to advance,
but it deprecated silver. This did
much to deprive Germany of the
great advantage she might have de-
rived from the French indemnity.
The flooding of the European mark
cts with silver bullion, made from
melted German coin, had a strong
influence in forcing the states of the
huIlh ulllOh Ill jO'C w 'SlOSO GuS IT'LL 10
against the metal.
Germany, like the United States,
has had difficulty in maintaining her
gold reserve. She produces little
gold, and her gold exports are very
near the limit. In 1893 Germany inn
ported gold to the value of 49,375,-
OBJ marks, and the same year export
ed gold to the value of 101 .575, 1872
marks, leaving balance of 47,799,-
267 marks, or about 81 100000.
Germany has passed through a pc
Rod of depression as severe as that
experienced by the United States.
and, whatever the cause may have
been, the people are clamoring for a
restoration of silver. The Prussian
parliament has passed a resolution
calling for IN international confer.
ence for the purpose of restoring sill
yer to the coinage and has asked
France and the United States to join
in the call.--EX.

4 Little Different.

That murderer that was hung in
San Quentin on Friday was very tough
on his lawyer, says the Salt Lake
Tribune. HIS only regret OH the
scatfold was that he had not Il chance
to kill tho man that defended him.
He did not use as clear discretion as
did the man in Virginia City, who,
after thanking the Judge, the jury,
the prosecuting attorney and the
sheriff. expressing the belief that
they had all done as well as they
could under the circumstances, still
besought the Court to make his sen
tence as light as possible, that he
might have time TO get out and kill
the last member of,the commission
that gave his attorney license to
practice law.

SCORES OF HUMAN WRECKS
FIsIable Condition ., sAabO. esntihe,

PItIable Condition OF shabby Gentiiaey
Seen ut tho National Capital.
Washington has more than itsshare
of ''the canl1ers of a calm world and a
long peace" Some are reduced gen
tlcmen, who just manage to keep their
heads above water and maintain
dcprecating front in their club and So
ciety. They are too lazy to work, says
the Washington Post, and have long
since run through with what little they
have had in brief splurge, and are
now getting more shabby genteei and
secdy looking every day. They retain,
however, the debonnair air of men of
wealth and bear themselves bravely,
but oh, the pinching and struggling to
keep up appearances! Oh, the sicllcn-
ing ordeal of having to face the lodg-
ing-houso keeper, and, worst of all, the
washerwoman,s Oh, the modification
of belonging to a club, and being una
bic to do more than sit in it, and stay
there, to be marked by the servants as
4 poor devil who never by any chance
is able to reciprocate hospitality or or
der anything, to have club dues
amounting up with no prospect but
through a loan to meet them; to have
the cold shoulder shown by the very
men who helped him to run through
his money, and who now give him a
cool nod instead of both outstretched
hands This is the pity of it, yet there
are men who endure it rather than leave
Washington. Such is the upas tree eff
feet of the life here on them.
Lower down in the social strata you
find in these cddics of the stream of
huDfanity,N the hotel corridors, regu-
lar lIabitues. shabby gcntccl, social,
political and business failures, lobby
lists, promoters, hanGcrS-on of official
magnates, men dismissed from the army
and navy, cheap sporting gents" all
with red noses to man. Everyone of
them has seen better days, and they all
retain even ut their shabbiest stage the
manners of their prosperous years, but
they are tainted with an clement of
fawning, and, saddcr still, with q forced
gayety and familiarity, painful to see
and endure. Here is an eX-mcmber OF
congress, ahOrn OF his previous impor-
lance and Plumagc, an exile and back
number" from his former district. who
has turned claim agent, or is charitably
supposed to be practicing law, while
sinking down lower and lower every
