NOTHING LIKE PRINTERS INK.

James Gordon Bennett is very erratic
in his movements. He "drops in" upon
his branch offices in Paris or London
without any notice being sent Of his
coming, and delights to surprise the
clerks by overhauling their books and
examining their accounts. On one Of
these occasions, says the Utica Observer,
q of the pressmep, Q man who had
worked for the elder Bennett, and was
an excellent workman, though guilty
of an occasional lapse from sobristy, had
a bad black eye and was in a quandsry
as to what excuse he should offer if Mr..
Bennett happened to notice it. Actingon q
sudden inspiration he seized an ink roller
and rubbed a daub Of ink on the side Of
his face completely concealing the dis
celebration OF the skin. Presently Mr..
Bennett came into the press room, and
with the superintendent. John Hays,
went carefully through, criticising every
detail, and looking sharply at each en-
ploye. When about to leave he turned
suddenly, and. pointing to the bedaubed
prassman. he said:
"Mr. Hays, what is that man'sname 7"
The culprit quaked in his shoes until
Mr.. Bennett said slowly:
II want you to give that man three
dollars per week more wages; he is the
only man in the room who looks as II he
had been working"

Discussing THE Silver Dollar" the
Louisville Courier journal to hand, "in
a powerful editorial" says:
THE purchasing power Of the silver
dollar. which is now equal TO that Of the
gold dollar, would be reduced if the
present policy Of the Treasury were
abandoned. The different kinds Of dol
lars are kept at a parity by the policy Of
the Treasury Department. which gives to
the citizen the sort Of a dollar he desires.
The law requires that a note which calls
for coin be paid in either gold or silver
at the option Of the holder"
The facts are in direct opposition to
the statement. The Kentucky editors
zeal in defense Of the Kentucky Secre-
tary Of the Treasury does not justify
such distortion Of fact.
The laws OF the United States give
the Treasury Department power to re-
deem notes calling for coin in gold or
silver at the option Of the Secretary OF
the Treasury. The holder of the notes
has nothing to say in the matter. The
Secretary ma. redeem all such notes
presented in silver, il he chooses, and
the holder Of the note can not object,
nor can he refuse to take silver.
Again Mr.. waterson says:
"Free coinage means the Government
shall take 37lt grains Of silver. worth
about City cents, and give q dollar
for it,"
II means nothing Of the kind. Free
coinage means that the Government
shall take 37l4 grains of silver, mix with
it Alt grains Of alloy, put the Govern
ment stamp on it, and give it back to its
owner, the Government receiving All
grains Of silver as pay for its trouble and
the Government stamp.
The same article contains q third mis-
statement. 1t says:
"The passage Of the Sherman Act in
1890 put up the price Of silver to 81 81
in about q month. Then it began to re-
cede and is now worth from 50 to GO
cents an ounce"
The Courier-Journal is as mistaken in
it's deductions as in its direct statements.
As q matter Of fact, in 1890 it was
thought that a free coinage law would be
be passed. Under expectation Of this
the price of silver bullion rose to 81 q.
Then. when the Sherman law was passed
as q compromise in place of free coin
age--the price gradually declined again.
The reason for this is plain.
The Sherman law treated silver as a
commodity. Like other commodities,
it's price was governed by the law of sup
ply and demand, and, this being the
case, the price Of the whole was regu.
lated by the price of the surplus, over
and above the "a, 900, 900 ounces bought
each year by the Government. This
surplus, although small, being excluded
from our mints and those Of Europe, sold
at q low valuation, thus keeping the
price of the whole product down.

ment Of such patent facts as those dis

THE CABLE To HAWAII.

More than forty years ago William II.
Seward. then q United States Senator,
took the following somewhat long look
ahead:
Who does not see that henceforth,
every year. European commerce, Euro
pean politics, European thoughts and
Europen activity, although gradually
gaining force, and European connections,
although actually becoming more init.
mate. will, nevertheless. sink in impor-
lance, while the Pacific Ocean. it's shores.
it's islands and the vast region beyond.
will become the chief theaters Of events
in the worlds great hereafter.
II has since become the habit Of East.
ern statesmen to decry the Pacific Ocean
and its shores aud islands, both from .
commercial and social point Of view.
Recent events have directed the atten.
tion Of capitalists to this comparatively
unknown field for exploitation, but Con-
gress does not as yet seem disposed to
aid private enterprise. Great Britain
and Canada are fully alive to the value
Of the trade now opening to the world.
