LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE EXCITED
Speculation In Gold Shares Lately Has
Become Restless.

London, oct. 12.-The stock exchange
has been excited for the past week by
the speculation in gold shares which
have lately become quite reckless and
led to great increase of accommoda-
tion bills In branches of the continental
banks. London banks finally refused
to discount these bills. Fear of this
action led continental and London
banks to contracting accommodation
bills and resulted in a heavy fall in
nearly all departments. The scare last
ed till Wednesday afternoon, when
buying on behalf of Paris and South
Africa led to a recovery, but the mar
ket is still restless.

or What tho Democratic Congress Hn,
Donc-Ecckiessne. That Was Lashcd
Out of Office.
Cincinnati Tines Var.
Look at the plain story OF the effect
OF Democratic devilment: The balance
OF trade fell from S2O2. 100000 in our IA
vor in 1892 to $3.50, 900. 900 against us in
1894. An excess OF revenue for 1892 OF
about $4,000, 900 was turned to deficit
ofS70. 100000 in 1894. The bonded deb.
has been increased SlG00O0.OO0. Values
and earnings have suffered tremen.
dous reduction in two years, chiefly as
aresult oil the economic policy Congress
inflicted upon the country. The de.
cline in stocks and bonds ia estimated Mt
81, 100000. Competent authority fic.
ures out loss OF fully S2.245, 900, 900 to
agriculture. Industrial valuations-i. O.,
manufacturing interests-hare declined
to the extent OF Sl,OOO,0O0.00O or more.
All other property has fallen at least S
per cent, making 4 loss OF 81 600, 000,00o.
Tho loss on the volume OF business, in
Guiding wages. has been placed at So.
000.000,000. Hero Is total sacrifice Of
more than $1,000. 000, 900 in pursuit OF
doctrinnirc theory;a rather high price
TO pay for an experiment with college
professors dream. No wonder tho WIS.,
ionary, incompetent and reckless De-
mocracy was dashed out OF office last
fall. No wonder the Fifty.third Con-
eress, worse than an Egyptian plague,
sinks into Infamous memory.
Fortunately the American people
have plenty OF grit and perseverance.
They are still doing business ut the
old stand. Things have improved
somewhat since that little event in No.
vember. Now that Congress ia out of
the way better times arc promised.
None OF tho losses OF 1898 and 1894 can
BIO recained; the prosperity OF 1892 may
not be restored; but on tho now basis
production and trade will doubtless
gradually expand.

your coadlutors upon the propitlous outlook for
the university, and TO bid you u most hearty

These words OF encouragement arc in

that tho new board has new opportu.
nifty to advance tho interests OF tho
university. 1t ig mado up fairly from
the two great political parties, being
composed OF five Democrats aud four
Republicans. Tho spirit OF tho now law
is that these members are not to take
partisan politics into tho board with
them.
The intention OF tho legislature was
that they shall do the best tina. nne
mon can do to strengthen the founda.
tions OF the university, to commend it
to the public confidence and to attract
to it the increasing number Of young
West Virginians desiring collegiate
education. From personal acquaint.
ance with every member OF tho new
board the 1srELLlGEScER believes that
they will all enter upon their work in
this spirit.

How He Was Paid.

According to the Italian papers, one Of
the principal tenors at the Scala theater
has been paid on rather curious princi-
ple-not for each appearance but for each
note that he sings, the unit Of remunera-
tion In his case being 8 francs. Thus In
one of Mascagni's operas his part contained
$40 notes. and he was accordingly paid
1880 francs each time he sang In this
opera. However, at the close of the season
the tenor refused TO renew his engagement
unless the tariff was raised TO francs Der
