How considerate and just England
is in her conduct toward weaker powers,
to be sure. About 20 years ago she had
an idea of getting good deal of trade
out of the Sahara, and ihereupon seized
some territory Of Morocco, on Cape JUDY,
which would control the trade. The
Emperor of Morocco protested vigor-
ously, but that was all the good it did
him. England did not get the trade she
expected, and now offers to sell the terri
tory to the Emperor for 100000, or
the cost of her occupation.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Please ex-
plain very briefly what is meant by "16 TO
l !" as used in regard to the coinage of gold
dier, Haddam, Kan.
1t means simply that one grain, or
one ounce, or one pound-any quantity
you please-of gold shall be considered
as worth 16 grains, ounces, or pounds of
silver. This is a convenient statement of
the ratio adopted for the United States
minis by the coinage act Of 1884. 1t IS
exactly 1898. That is, 100 ounces Of
gold were held to be worth ,59S ounces
of silver. This ratio was then expressed
by providing that the silver dollar should
contain 3714 grains of pure silver (4123
grains Cloths fne), and the gold dollar
have 1922 grains of pure gold COS
grains 9-10ths fne). The Free Silver
advocates want every holder Of silver to
be allowed to take it to the mint and
have every 3719 grains of it made into
a silver dollar, which shall be as good
as gold dollar. The objection to this
is, that that much silver is worth IN the
markets of the world only about AZ
cents.
1t is not within the scope Of our cor
respondents question, but we will give
the process Of determining the actual
value of the silver dollar. The bullion
price of silver in London the day pre-
vious to this writing-June 11-was
30I pence-61 cents in our money
per ounce. Silver is weighed by Troy
ounces of 4S0 grains Therefore, the
metal value of the silver dollar would
be determined by an operation in pro-
portion As $50 grains are to 3714
grains, SO are 81 cents to the value of
the dollar. The answer is: Ais cents.

IT goes right along, the same old way.
One day reports that the Spaniards
have inflicted a crushing defeat upon
the Cubans, and killed several import
ant leaders, and the next day contra
diets the reports of the victory and the
killing, and reports the landing of more
volunteers, money, arms and leaders.
Both sides are doing most of their fight
ing by telegraph, but it seems clear that
the instruction is assuming proportions
very alarming to Spain, which is max
ing extraordinary preparations to crush

THE fight between the Free Silverites

men could put out anything, label it
Democracy, and have it unanimously

SAN FRANcIsCo is American to the
backbone. 1t has been decided that no
flags except the Star-Spangled Banner
shall be carried in professions on the
Fourth of July this year. Representa-
tives from various organizations wanted
a number of banners of other countries
carried along with the American flag
but after much discussion it was decided
by strong vote to allow nothing but
Old Glory to appear in the professions.
If Mr.. Debs will employ his six months
of rest and quiet in careful study of
the Constitution and laws of the United
States, and some good book ON the rights
and responsibilities Of American citizen
ship, much may be gained.

companies each. s
This does not include short-time regi-
ments, disbanded and consolidated regi-
ments, State Militia, Junior Reserves,
Senior Reserves, Home Guard Regi-
ments, ETC., which did about the same
duty as our Three Months, Hundred
Days, Six Months, etc, regiments.
In March, 1862, the Confederate
Government took the wise course of or
dering that no new regiments, battalions
or batteries should be formed. Every
able-bodied man In the South was or
dered into the service. If be volun-
teered, he could choose the regiment lac
would enter. If he did not volunteer,
he was conscripted and put into a regi
ment which needed filling up. Conse-
quently, substantially every young man
in the South was, at one time or an
other, in the organizations we have
enumerated.
If we could know the average enroll
ment Of these organizations we could
easily get at the general strength of the
rebel army at any given time. Unfor
tunately there are no figures for any of
the States except North Carolina, which
kept her books in fairly good shape.
From these we learn that her fighting
regiments each had from first to last from
1,500 to 1900 men on their rolls. If
we take the lowest of these numbers
1,5OO-and apply it to the 764 regular
regiments it gives Us total of 1,146,000
fighting men in the Regular organiza
tons, without counting the Reserves,
Home Guards, etc. These guarded
bridges, lines of communication, ETC.,
and were not infrequently put into the
regular line-ofbattle, as on the Atlanta
campaign, in the Shenandoah. and
around Petersburg. ~
There is another way of getting at it.
North Carolina furnished in all 5000
men to the Southern Cconfederacy. No
one claims that she did more than her
sister States of the Confederacy. She
probably did just the same in proportion
to her population.

seeding States, according to the census

Let it not be supposed that we are
required 10 reach that level OF moral
stupidity in which we shall no longer
be able to discriminate between right
and wrong in human conduct. The
most evangelical prophet of the Old
Testament speaks some very fearful
things against blindness Of that sort
"Woe unto them that call evil good,
and good evil; that put darkness for
light, and light for darkness, that put
bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter"
The confusion of the moral Judgment
is the sign always of a lowered tone
of character. Let it not be supposed
again that we are required to abdlcate
the plalnest teachings OF common
sense and to put ourselves absolutely
at the mercy Of those who seek our
destruction. A due caution is both
allowed and demanded as against the
Vaccinations of i'll disposed persons
But in no case and under no circum-
stances, is it permitted us to cherish
malignant emotions, or to plan and
scheme for paying back in kind the
harm that is done us. We must read
our duty in the light Of the CROSS

saws very truly: I'VE do not see or
know all that IS implied in the words
we are using, even when we are pray
ing for things agreeable to Gods
will this is especially the case when
as 80 frequently, we use the words of
Holy Scripture, and turn Gods prom
ises into petitions, l cannot better
EXPRESS this truth than IN the follow
inc sentences which l take from a
letter in the memoir Of an old friend
VIM. b. Robertson, d. D., recently
published:
when we pray, Thy kingdom
come who knows all that is meant by
that petition, as Christ did when He
put 1t into the prayer for all agesY
Or what two that join in praying
agree-agree they must to some ex
tent. according to the rubric, 1T two
of you shall agree etc,-but what
two agree, not only in meaning all
that Christ meant and that the in
spired words themselves mean, but
also agree in meaning exactly the
same thlng7 1t is quite impossible
that the prayer should be answered
according to our variety OF views
with all their falsehood and imperfec-
ton. But, then, if their prayer be
sincere and the feeling true, and the
worshipper praying in the Spirit and
through Christ, and that not in the
words that mans wisdom teacheth'
then those words come to us not only
inspired, but they return to us lnsplr-
cd as well, the Holy Ghost interpret
ing them into their full significance
before the throne. So that our prayer
ia heard not according to the mean
ing we put, but according to the mean
ing He puts upon it, and this in yir'
tue of His lntercession."

FoRaIvING OFFENsEs,

In the recently published memoirs
of Chancellor Pasquier there is found
an exceedingly interesting sketch OF
thst enigmatlcal man, Prince TalIey-
rand. Among other things, it IS said
of HIM, IN substance, that he found 1t
easy to overlook a slight or to forget
All offense. Strangely enough, how
ever this fact was not, in his case,
the result of high moral nature, but
rather of a consummste sel6shness.
When 1T was to bis personal adVant-
age to do so he was perfectly willing
to wipe out old scores and TO begin
afresh as if nothing wrong haN ever
happened, Instead of being above
malice, he was below it. His con,
science was too dull to enable him to
recognize and reprobrate an intrin-
sically base action on the sole ground
of its baseness.
Christian forgiveness is a very diff
ferent thing. 1t sees and feels the
dull force of the wrong done and yet,
out of pure nobleness, passes it by.
When the Lord Jesus was hanging
Mpon the cross He was keenly and
,sensitively alive to the horrible injus-
,tice that had nailed Him there. But
in spite of his clear, unerring sense
of the awful outrage inflicted upon
Him, He devoutly prayed: Father
forgive them, for they know not what
they do" We are not to gather
from these words that the Ignorance
OF the Lords murderers was an ex-
cuse for their conduct; willful ignor-
ance is itself great sin. Even &C
the Lord pleaded that 1t might b.
pardoned.
There is no duty more imperatively
binding upon us than this Of forgiv'
ing cur enemies. What could b.
palmer tAsn these words: Love
your enemies, bless them that ours,
you, do good to them that hate you
and pray for the@ which despitefull!
Qse you and persecute you; which y,
rnay be the children Of your fatbe
which Is IN heaven; for He msketh Iii
san to rise OF the evil and on the goo,
and sendeth +sfq on the just and o.
the upiust?" Nor " this all, for tn
Aope of acceptance befots Sod is ez
pressly conditioned upon our Willing
ness to deal generously and kindl
with our our erring fellowmen: u
We forgive men their trespasses, you
heavenly Father will also forgive yor
but if ye forgive not men their treI
passes, neither will your Father TO
give your trespasses." Language
explicit it is not possible to evsde.
