The following from the Philadelphia
Press is worthy of careful considera-
tion: "The price Of gold was advanced
"a penny per ounce for bars by the old
lady of Threadneedle street yesterday.
This is the usual course in London the
moment there is a sign that gold is
wanted in America. The engagement
of the small sum Of s. 200 900 for the
United States was the cause of this ex-
hibition of its power by the Bank Of
England. The lesson, it is hoped, will
not be lost in this country. The thrall-

try declares 70" the free coinage of silver

The truest philosophy is exercised by
the man who can refrain from eXpatia-
ting about the heat or the woman who
can contrive to appear cool. 1t is Of
course a transparent truism that the
less man thinks about the heat the less

man talks about it, the less he will feel
it and, which should be of still greater
Importance, the less viii he exasperate

UNDESIRABLE STATES,

Commenting on President Clevelands
home missionary speech, the Chicago
Chronicle says;
1t is an undeniable fact that the
kind of people who make up the min
ing camps and their followings do
constitute undesirable States.' The
mining camp states are the skeleton
in our national closet as the slave
states were a third Of a century ago.
They are standing menace to the
national credit, and, with their vicious
antipathy to the Chinese, they are a
reproach to the nation. The president
did not tell half the truth about them.
That is a most hearty endorsement
of a most contemplate assertion. In
all these mining camps" that make
such undesirable states" the per-
centage of illiteracy is less than in some
of the original thirteen states, while
they stand right up near the top. Mr.
Cleveland had something to saw
about corrupt municipalities in the
glowing tribute he paid the west, but
if there is a more corrupt and rotten
municipality in all the forty-five
states of the American Union than the
municipality of Chicago we have never
heard of it. Only a Chicago could
produce a hammers; no mining camp
has the material out of which to
make such aldermen. Then he is
such a representative bon vivant of
Chicago officialdom.

sPAIN.s ACTION IN 1861.
Translation of the Decree Issued
During Our Civil War.

The following is a translation of the
! Spanish decree of June IL, 1861, by which
the queen of Spain recognized the pellig-
ereney of the confederates, declaring neu-
trality between the parties to the contest.
1t is interesting to observe that this de-
cree was issued but about two months at
ter Fort Sumter was fired upon, While the
proposed action by this government comes
more than one year after the beginning
OF hostilities in Cuba
The Spanish decree is as follows:
Considering the relations which exist
between Spain and the United States of
America, and the expediency of not
changing the reciprocal relations OF
friendly understanding on account of the
grave events which have happened in
that republic, [ have resolved to main
tain the strictest neutrality in the strug-
gle engaged in between all the federal
states, of the Union and the confederate
states of the south; and in order TO avoid
the losses which our subjects might SUI
fer both in shipping and commerce, both
for want of definite rules to which their
conduct might conform, IN accord WIN
the views of my council of ministers, L

ports of the Spanish realm to arm, supply
and equip any privateer vessel, Whatever
may be the flag she carries.

in cases of necessity through stress OF

authorities will watch the vessel and
obliGe her to go to sea as soon as possible
without permitting her to take any more
supplies than for present necessity, but
on no account either arms or munitions of

SITUATION IN EUROPE.


After reading the dispatches rela-
tive to Italian affairs. the expected
collapse of the triple alliance, the I'M
settling of political affairs in Europe,
the talk there is of recasting the maps
OF Europe and all because a horde Of
savages in a distant part of Africa
overthrow comparatively small army
of Italians, makes one wonder how
much real force there is after all in
those great military camps and navy
yards called the nations of Europe.
The little affair at Adowa seems to
have thrown not only Italy but all
Europe into commissions; and what
ever may happen to the map Of
Europe as a result of the rearrange-
ment of alliances, its politics associa-
lions seem destined to have a shaking
up. 1t was thought that the triple al
lance of Germany, Austria and Italy
when formed would secure as long as
it existed, the peace of Europe; and
now the loss of a single battle away in
one of the most distant parts of Africa
threatens the existence of the famous
alliance, and with it of course the
peace of Europe. The peace of Europe
was made to hang on a very slender
thread if it in any way was depending
upon that alliance which on so slight
an occasion threatens to go to pieces.
One thing doubtless that will grow
out of this affair is that it will reveal
to Europe how weak she is, notwith-
standing all her armies and navies. 1t.
will show those navies how precarious
are the terms on which they hold their
existence, but it is questionable if it
will be of any practicable service to
them; for before Europe settles down
to the policy Of reduction of their
armies and navies to something within
the limits Of reason, there will be use
made of the armies brought into ex-
istence during the last quarter of a
century. Nothing but a general war
is likely to lead to the general dis
armament which eventually must
come.
