A River Falls Author.

Edwin I. Reed of this city is the
author of a college play entitled
| Olympia UD To Date" which was
placed upon the boards in Minneapolis
on Monday last by the graduating
class of the Minnesota State Uni
versity. The play isa satire upon that
class of old-fogyism in our colleges
which advocates the introduction OF
the old Greek games. III is full of satire,
fun and merriment and was well re-
ceived by the large audience that wit
messed il, both as literary production
and III the arrangements in placing IL
on the stage. The Author was warm
ly congratulated upon the success of
his first effort as a playwright. Mr..
X ed is one of the graduates of 30.
The St Paul Pioneer Press makes
tiie following comments on the play.
Two performances afterr Don and
evening of Olympia Up TO Date, the
senior lass play, were given at the
Metropolitan yesterday. BoUh per-
fOrmances were largely attended and
the play was rendered satisfactorily in
every way. The scene is at Athens,
and the production is a happy blend
ing of the sublime and the ridiculous.
It's author is Edwin Il. Reed, and il is
Onlya matter of justice TO this young
gentleman To say that he has produc-
cd remarkably bright, spirited and
all but faultlessly constructed comedy
which is certainly not surpassed and
perhaps not equaled by any previous
works Of a Minnesota senior"
The graduating exercises of the
High School take place this evening.

English Views of Silver.

| The HerSchell Report on the Coin
age Of Silver in India. commonly
known a. the report Of the indian
Currency Com mission. sums up the
views OF thesmem beTs constituting
| that commission after stating the
| financial system : OF the different
countries in the I lowing language
1t is impossible thus 20 review
! foreign systems OF currency without
feeling that, however admirable may
be the precautions Of our own (the
English gold Standard currency
system. other nations have adopted
different systems which appear to
have worked without difficulty, and
have enabled them 10 maintain for
their respective currencies gold
standard and substantial parity of
exchange with the gold sing
countries OF the world. which has,
unfortunately. not been the case
with India. This has been effected
under all the following conditions:
tai With little or no gold coin, as in
Scandinavia: Holland and Canada:
fbl Without a mint or gold coinage.
a. in Canada and the Dutch East
Indies;
cl With a circulation consisting
partly Of gold. partly Of 0yer-valued
and incOnVertible silver, which *
legal tender 10 an unlimited amount,
as i'm France and other countries of
the Latin Union, in the United
states. and also in Germany, though
there the proportion OF oyeryalued
silver is more limited, the minis IN
all these countries being freely open
10 gold. but not TO silver, and in
some Of them the silver coinage
having ceased;
tdl With system under which the
banks part with gold freely for export,
AZ ia Holland, or refuse il for export,
as in France;
tel With minis closed against private
coinage of both silver and gold, and
Witha currency Of inconyertible paper
a. has been temporarily the case in
Austria;
% With "A circulation based on
gold. but consisting of token silver,
which. however, is legal tender To an
unlimited extent, as in the West
Indies.
The case of Holland and Java is
very remarkable. since in that case
the gold standard has been maintain
ed without difficulty in both countries,
although there is no mint in the
Dutch East Indies no stock of gold
there. and a moderate stock OF gold IN
Holland: whilst the currency consists
Of silver and paper legally and practi-
cally incUnyertible into gold, except
for purposes OF export. The case of
Canada. which maintains gold
standard without a gold coinage, is
also very remarkable.
The above would 90 to show that
there i no mathematical rule by
which the currency question can be
solved. and that the peculiar situation
in each country ought To be consider
ed, not because il can assert an
absolute independence of CONNER
cial laws affecting the world at
large. but because the local situation
may make the particular country To
some extent independent or enable it
To exert wholesome influence on the
legislation or financial methods of
other countries. One correction
must be made To the above quotation,
and that is that according to section
}JS6 of the Revised Statutes Of the
United States silver is legal tender
to the amount of five dollars only.
This section is a part of the law of
1873.

In regard TO the International Con-
yention TO consider the coinage
question the New York World has
sent inquiries to the different Euro
pean countries for the purpose of
aScertaining the probable prospects
of its action with reference TO silver.
Indications from Germany are that
there is a strong sentiment in favor
of the restoration of silver, and the
same NAV be SAID OF France. Belgium
and Holland are still more favorable,
while the answer from Spain is TO the
effect that that country is very likely
To follow i'm the footsteps OF the

of the Nations defenders a general

The late legislature enacted law
making every teacher applying for a
certificate pay 70 the county school
Superintendent one dollar, the money
t. be expended i'm holding Institutes.
This is wrong and an unwarranted
tax upon the teachers. Make educa-
ton as free as possible and do not tax
our boys and girls who aspire to be
teachers. The legislation is in line
with the increase of tuition at the
University and ought to be repealed
at the earliest opportunity. Another
law makes only candidates holding
state certificates eligible TO the office
of Superintendent. 1t strikes us that
