STATUS OF SILVER

A recent New York dispatch says the
best authorities on silver look for stead
lily improving demand for the metal for
some time to come The willingness Of
Japan to accept the indemnity from
China in silver contributed largely to the
Improvement In price which has been
noted during the last few months and the
accumulation Of the metal in London
will go on, in order to complete the in
stallments Of the indemnity at the vari-
GUS dates of payment. Mr. Townsend,
of the Hong Kong bank, confirms this
view and reports in an. interview that
the bank is about to make a large ship
ment of silver to China. Both China and
Japan are showing increasing inquiry
for silver, as the large amounts of the
metal distributed by both countries in
payment for war material and supplies
has been diverted to India and other sill
yer countries. Mr.. Townsend adds that
the silver was ordered two months ago,
and has only just been delivered. The
silver smelters are said to be sold ahead
for two months. Japan is minting most
Of it's silver money.
London statistics show that there has
been decrease this year in the impor-
tations Of silver to England Of 5000, 900
ounces, equivalent to about f1,O0O,0O0
sterling. This year, also, there will be a
decrease in importations OF silver into
Washington Of $4,000 900 ounces, as re-
suit Of the repeal Of the Sherman law.
This indicates decrease in the produc-
ton Of the white metal this year Of about
.62,00o,O00 ounces. The requirements Of
China for silver in connection with the
indemnity payments to Japan will ex-
tend over at least two years.

H: 90 that mine enemy might write q
book, 2 remarked the sage of olden time,
and now that John Sherman has written
one his enemies have their long desired
opportunity. The book is the recollec-
tions Of a man who has been forty years
in politics, and all through its pages 1t
shows the bitterness Of one who was dis
appointed in reaching the highest round
of his ambition-the presidency. 1t
is not particularly interesting, except to
those whose names are mentioned and
whose actions are criticised, for all the
subjects it treats of are well known to
the readers of American political history.
In speaking Of Garfield, Blaine, Foster,
Mckinley and other prominent men, the
senator feels that working forces were
against him, but still he makes no direct
charges against any one. Like Wolsey,
he will now feel like exclaiming, Filing
away ambition: By that sin fell the
angels. >.

"THIs COUNTRY OF OURS"

1t is announced that ex-President Ben
jamin Harrison is engaged in writing a
series OF magazine articles for The La
dies Home Journal, in which periodical
they will begin in. the December num-
ber.. The series will be called This
Country Of Ours and will consist of ten
articles and probably more. The papers
ere being written by General Harrison
especially for women, to meet a growing
widespread desire on their part to intel
ligently understand the workings Of our
government and the great national ques-
items. 1t will be the aim of the articles
for which the ex-president is famous, just
what the United States government
means; the origin and meaning of the
constitution; how laws are enacted and
enforced; what the powers of the presi
dent and other officials are; what the jul
dietary system means; how our foreign
relations are brought about and their
meaning; how congress and the senate
leglslate,-ln fact, a complete explana-
tion of the government told in a popular
way. General Harrison writes the art
icles from the standpoint Of a citizen
who understands his subject. They have
no bearing on politics whatever. While
directly intended for women, the articles
will naturally have a much broader scope
and likewise interest men, and especially
young men.

HOW BI0OTs ACT.

IS Did you ever know Of Catholic,
whether he was a Republican or q DEM
ocrat, to vote against q candidate of his
party because he was a Protestant? asks
the Irish World. Catholics who form a
very large and important element In the
electorate, would create a species Of polit-
ical anarchy If they should initiate the ex-
ample set BY the "A. r. a. blgots and vote
for no candi date who was a Protestant.
BY acting IN this way they would upseta all
political calculations. 5 5. .5'5asat ts
Protestants, il self-defense, would be
compelled 10 finally band together and
sretaliate by voting solidly against Cath
olics IN this way the dividing line in
politics would not be on questions af-
fecting the material interests Of both
Catholics and Protestants, but on guess
tions which legitimately can have no place
in American politics.
We see, then, the drift Of Apaisn,
which would divide American voters on
religious issues 1t would have Protes-
tant Americans vote solidly against their
Catholic fellow countrymen, who have
never been known to vote against Prot
estants as Protestants. This is Apaisnl
in a nutshell.
The proposition that q man shall be
punished on account of his religious con-
vict.ons is abhorrent to every man not I'M
der the baneful spell Of bigotry that the
anti Catholic fanatics who advocate it in
stinctively dread the light, and, therefore,
court darkness. The cloak Of secrecy the
A. P. A. wraps itself in is evidence that
these bigots are conscious that they are
championing a policy which is at war
with mems innate sense Of Justice. s*.1

THAT GREAT FIGHT.

COrbett and Fitzsimnons have been
fighting each other at the most terrific
rate during the whole Of the past sum
mer.s 1t has been the most prolonged bat
tie on record. There was no blood shed,
but rivers OF ink have flowed in carrying
on the struggle. Each has proclaimed
that the other was afraid to face him, for
in that event If both were not carried Off
the field a demnition corpse, the useful
ness of both as fighting material would be
gone forever The sporting fraternity
has been kept in a feverish state OF ex-
!citement over the matter, and as long as
the combatants and their hackers were
hunted from one place to another the in
terest increased In calling each other
all manner Of vile, but no doubt deserved
names, the llonors were about even be-
tween ..Pompadour jim" and "Lanky

agreed to, but the manager Of Fitzsin-

sequence the club declared the fight Off j

would have thought that the. height Of

In all probability the United States
government will take no further steps
for the release Of Waller, ex-consul to
Madagascar, from French prison, the
reason being that the government is sat-
isfed that while Waller was sent to Mad
agascar as consul he acted as q spy for
the Hovas-the natives whom the French
were lighting. An adherence to this de-
cision will keep Waller long term Of
years in prison. Still. 1t is claimed by
those who were on the ground that Wal
Ter did not supply the Hovas with arms
and that he was illegally convicted.

While the Irish Standard speaks thus
both in defence and comm tion Of Mr.
Hills generosity it does not wish to be
understood as unfolding that gentleman
in all his ami tious railroad transactions,

sires to consolidate the Northern Pacific.

speak for themselves and can in no way
be confused with or attributed to his rail-

and his generous deeds vastly assist in
uplifting his fellow man while at the.
same time there may be double motive
in his liberality one being a desire to
help along those less fortunate than him
self and the othtr being personal aggran-.
dizement. There is no Justification, how
ever, in attributing a double or a false
motive to Mr.. Hill in the matter under

might as well have been, for the effect
will be the same ,rhe deed 81 done and
all great Neptunes food would not wash
out the foul stain.
81 The shrewd and anxious ones are dgur-
ing II ont that these tales told out of
school will injure Repub ltcan chances Ia
Ohio, New York and Pen1,syl vania, to be-
gin with. These old sores being publicly
exposed to view will set the Ohio Repub-
Leans to fighting among themselves with
the result that Campbell, the Democratic
scandi date for governor, will be elected.
3If by this means Campbell should be
elected governor there is q strong prob
ability that the legislature would be
Democratic, and Id that event Brice would
pluck the senatorial plum from Foraker.
All this, however, would only be the
beginning Of the end. Affairs III such a.
bad shape i'm Ohio would tiisastrously af-
feet Mckinley in his presidential aspira-
tipns, and Harrison, too, would walk
through a slaughter house to an open
grave. With all this scramble and u1l-.
certainty and the knitting that would fol-
low 1t lis predicted that the Republican
presidential race would be narrowed
down to Reed and Allison, between whom
the fight would mo doubt become SO bitter
that some one who is now a stranger to
the contest would be chosen as a candi-
date. 1t would not be too much to ex-
pect in such q condition Of affairs that
the Democrats would easily elect a sue.
scessor to Cleveland.
And If Sherman, as it SO appears, could
not occupy, the White House himself, he
would take the means Of shutting out all
other aspiring Republican candidates
from entering it.

HOW THEY WOULD FIGHT.

Should the United States and England
80 to war over the Venezuelan matter,
would not the Irishmen Of the world, but
particularly those Of this country, justly
conclude that their long looked for oppor,
tunity had come? The Irishmen fought
bravely on the side of the North to pre-
serve the Union, but the Southerners with
whom they commended were not their here
diary foes, but in the case Of q war with
England, how gleefully every Irishman
would shoulder a musket and march to
the thickest Of the fray, singing Songs of
gladness that the hour had ait last arrived
where he could strike an effective blow
for the dear old land.
"A 1t may be that the present complica-
tions between the countries will end in
diplomatic compromises and in such an
event, the Irish might be justly pardoned
for shedding tears OF regret, sneverth eless,
the day will come when the opportunity
will be offered, and perhaps the Irishmen
who fight in British regiments for the
glory Of England may be induced to turn
their bayonets upon their foes Of centur-
les and thus wash out the stain upon their
manhood Of permitting themselves to be
armed for the purpose Of expressing their
own country men. The mills OF the gods
grind slowly and the irish should not lose
hope no matter how distressing recent
events have been. England's national
tactics have q tendency to induce chat
5countr to overreach itself and silent
forces are at work which will produce
thai. result a Just Providence will GER
stainly not permit q noble race to 6e con-
5tinuall5 under the heel of the oppressor.

date fixed-the 31st-and see what would
come Of it. Then all kinds of PROPOSE
tions followed for different sums Of money
and for different places for the fight, and
there the matter rested couple of days
ago and that is late enough to take any
note Of the affair This much Is given to
show how silly, contemplate and in many
cases cowardly, most of.tbe pugilists are,
and the whole world is to be congratu-
lated that they are rapidly being crowded
off the face Of the earth. The so-called
