and the latter ships them to China and
the Straits settlements. The dealer in
New York also purchases coins from inn
migrants. This seems like a small BUSH
ness, but in the aggregate il amounts to
something. In the course of time the
metal money finds it's way by exchange
back to the countries where il is the circu-
lating medium.
1t seems rather odd to find on the adj
vertising lists of the London brokers
notes of regular importations of silver
from Great Britain to the United States.
These, however, are in the shape of
American COINS, sent back to this country
by a process similar to that just described.
The Bank of England never melts United
States coins, but holds them in it's vaults
until a balance of trade in our favor
makes it convenient to ship them across
the Atlantic. We import quite a good
deal of silver from Mexico, most of it in
ore, because # can be returned more econ
omically here. Some of the metal, too,
we get from the Central American repub-
lies, and not a little of their coin floats
into tue hands of the silver dealers in New
York.
The great chain of mountains which
forms the backbone of the new world, ex-
tending from Cape Horn northward
through Central America and continued
by the wall of the mighty Rockies, is
full of silver. In South America it's
wonderful deposits, though wholly unde-
veloped, are being pecked at to some ex-
tent by primitive methods of mining,
and some of the white metal thus OBJ
tanned is imported into the United
States. Though suggesting the idea of
carrying Goals to Newcastle, the product

A minor fraction of our own silver goes
direct to China through brokers in San
Francisco. One fact suggestive of refiec-
ton is that in 1891 our exports of silver
exceeded our imports by only S9,5o0,00o.

The Cost of Living.

The Boston Herald notes that it is
a curious and instructive feature of
| contemporary civilization that, side by
side with an enormous fall in the
prices of the necessaries of life, there
are widespread complaints of the in
creased dearness of living.
The German minister of foreign
affairs, giving the reason for various
increases of diplomatic salaries, shows
that the cost of living in various Euro
pean cities has risen during recent
years from thirty to fifty per cent. And
yet bread is cheaper, and so is cotton,
wool and silk. The Boston newspaper
finds that the raw material of all mo-
tallic products has gone down in price,
and nearly everything else that is
necessary for the construction and
equipment of houses.
But the cost of domestic service has
everywhere increased, so have the
wages of workmen, and most profess
sional rewards. THE growth of towns
has led to an increase of rent conse-
guent on the advance in ground val
ues, so that, outside of the domain in
which the application of machinery to
production or transportation, or to
both, has lowered prices, there has
been a pretty uniform advance in the
cost of the adjuncts and appliances of
modern life. But the deter mining
fact, probobly, is the greater amount
of luxury which has become part of
this life. 1t has been truly said that
the luxuries of to-day are the necessi-
ties of tomorrow, and one need only
consult the proprietors of any of the
great retail emporiums of our Ameri-
can cities TO find that these establish
ments could not exist if people were
content with the bare necessaries OF
life"
There are two ways of looking at
this advance OF luxury; by some il is
thought to mean social rottenness and
decay Most people, however, are too
optimistic to look at il in that way
the advance of luxury means TO their
minds a general elevation of the
standard of living, that is TO say an
advancement of both physical and in
tellectual well-being.

designs at the outset There is no
sufficient ground for assuming that he
intended either detention or search.
Even Captain Crossman's own story
leaves the impression that it was his
own proceedIngs-his refusal to CON-
municate with the man-of-war and his
immediate fiight-that brought on the
unfriendly demonstrations"
IL could almost be wished that the
Alliance incident would lead to some
thing a good deal more serious than it
is ever likely to if only it would settle
the fate of Cuba. For one hundred
years this island has been giving Spain
trouble, and incidentally it always
makes us trouble whenever it makes
Spain trouble. Its frequent turbu-
lence has cost the United States no
end of patience and vigilance, and
great sums of money have been re-
quired for guarding against breaches
of neutrality. Cuba seems to be asort
of international nuisance.

The grip is raging all around the
world 1t is particularly severe in
Berlin and London. The London
physicians say the character of the
now prevailing type differs greatly
from that of previous years. The
disease runs its course in four days
and affects the heart of the victims.
Physicians do not treat it with either
quinine or anti-pyrine. They break
the fever by perspiration induced by
warm drinks, and still hold to the
familiar declaration that there is no
reliable prophylactic and no specific
for it's cure. The extent of the cpl
demic IN London is demonstrated in
the fact that the death rate last week
was nearly double the nominal rate,
and the physicians unite in the opinion
that the worst stage has not yet been
reached. On this continent New York
has been the centre of influenza dis
turbance this winter, but we should
say the center is fast shifting to Mon

England's ultimatum to Nicaragua

that none of the commissioners to in
vestigate the damages sustained by

tion upon American citizens and
American citizenship, calculated to
make every American hot under the

tuitous, left-handed insults which
England likes to put upon this coun-
try at every convenient opportunity.

Bull and Uncle Sam are not so har-
monious as they should be, and John

The statement is made that there
are three-quarters of a million of per-
sons in England who are out of en-
ployment. This is the largest number
that has been reported since 1867, and
the situation is being investigated by
a parliamentary committee. Mean
while relief has to take practical
shape to prevent starvation. In the
first week of February the number of
persons relieved in London was 13l 900,
but the usual labor tests were imposed
on all able-bodied persons who applied
for help 1t included stone breaking,
oakum picking and wood chopping
With the return of warm weather,
much of the demand for relief will
cease, but the question what to do
with the increasing number of unem-
ployed will still be unsettled.

An interesting point was raised in
the examination of Charles A. Dana,
on a charge of criminal libel, in New
York yesterday. The alleged libel APP
peared in a criticism in the Sun upon
the business methods of a rival press
association, and it was particularly
upon Frank B. Noyes, of the Wash
ington star, director of the rival
association. In that the public is not
especially interested What readers
demand is the news, and whether it
comes to them through the united
press or the associated press is of no
particular moment Great interest,
however is attached to the question
whether New York editor can be in
dicted for criminal libel by court in
the District of Columbia, and taken
from his home to that point for trial.
Under the same ruling, the editor of a
newspaper could be indicted in any
county of any state where his paper
might circulate.
