do not desire to debase the standard Of
value; that they would have every debt
paid II gold or its equivalent. And this
IS the attitude of bimetallists generally in
Great Britain and Continental Europe,
TO all oil which remark: When the two
metals have unlimited free coinage at
nxed ratios and are legal tender the
cheaper will under all possible circum-
stances drive the dearer out of circulation.
There can be no such thing as double
standard. We must have either gold or
silver alone as our standard. Government
cannot create values. The current value
or moneys is determined Independently
OF the DEGREES of kings, legislative enact
ment, or Government fat.
In the matter of values commercial
convenience rules. These things are not
determined by kings, governments, con-
crosses, or conventions, but by the silent
and unseen but invincible forces of uni
versal self-interest. ALI reasoning which
assumes that in the exchange of moneys
any principle can be substituted for that
OF individual self-interest must be futile
and delusive.
money is not a question OF politics or
sentiment, but of science and ethics and OF
superlative importance. To deal with it
on any other basis is erroneous. Money
is constantly rebellious to the mandates

State and County Tax.
OAKLAND, CAL, Sept. 1O.-The Super
visors are figuring on a county tax rate
which they will have to consider in few
days. The rate last year was so cents,
which, with State rate of 6S cents, made
81 1S inside corporated cities, and with the
35 cents for road purposes made 81 50 in
the outside district
1t is expected that the rate this year
will be slightly higher for county pur-
poses, as the election alone will be $4,000
additional expense, besides what may be
required for new bridge over the tidal
canal in case the War Department orders
the present structure removed.

YE YING'S ADVENTURES.
The Editor of the Chinese War
Cry Takes Part in an
Exhibition.
General Booth Brought Samples of
Army Work From Every Quarter
of the Globe.

Chinatown has been without its War Cry
for nearly two months, but this week
there will be a gala number to celebrate
the return of Ye Ying, the enterprising
editor. Monaghan curiosity is stirred up
to high pitch to hear the wonderful
adventures that befell Ye Ying in Darkest
London.
The editor set out for the British capital
on August Is to take part in the great Sal
vation Army International Exposition,
and he has just returned. The
sights he saw there were probably
unique in the religious history of the
world. In the vast Agricultural Hall at
Islington General Booth and his soldiers
had arranged an exposition of the army's
work in every hemisphere and brought
natives from every country where they
have planted their standard to testify.
There was an Indian village, the swarthy
white-robed natives of which wore the
badge OF the army; the same badge was
worn in Zulu kraal, which was presided
over by genuine chief.
There were also Scandinavian peasant
village, a settlement of Lapland huts,
Dutch, Italian and other Continental cot
tages, settlements of Dutch Beers, of Gin
galese, Japanese, Malay ans and half q
dozen other lands where the Salvation
Army has taken a foothold.
But Ye Wing says this was only a small
part of the vast exhibition. Army work
of every kind was shoWn-rescue homes,
receiving homes, hospitals, Iaundries.
shelters, factories, Misery row in Darkest
London, and slum work in many of the
worlds pig cities, while the night shelter
was kept supplied with London tramps
during the ten days that the exhibition re-
mained open.
Ye Ying says that every day he sat down
to table with men OF seventeen different
nationalities and races, and that the SER
vices of Interpreters were greatly in de-
mand. There were editors of War Cries
in thirteen different languages he said.
''All of them testified, but many OF them
had to use interpreters. Yes; l was able
to speak In English.
There was an average of 10000 people
a day who visited the exhibition and
manv conversions were made General
Booth is very anxious to begin work in
China, and to raise funds he has started
tea league in London.
"All the people who join the league
pledge themselves to buy their tea from
the army and the profits are to be devoted
to starting army work in China"
Commander Booth-Tucker informed Ye
Ying when he passed through New York
that it was his intention to establish a
Salvation Army Chinese training home,
for the purpose of equipping soldiers to
undertake army work in China. The loca-
tion of this home is not vet decided upon.
but probably it will be in San Francisco.
Next Tuesday there will be welcome
meeting in Congress Hall to fete the re-
turn of Ye Wing to his editorial duties.
Several billiard tables have Just been
dispatched to Buluwayo.

CO-EDS ARE CENSURE D,
Berkeley Young Women Lee
tured for Participating in
a Rush.
Rev. DR.. Payne, Pastor of the Uni.
tartan Society, Presents His
Resignation.

BERKELEY, CAL, Sept. 10.-The co-eds
at the State University were chastised by
the faculty to day for participating in the
'rush' of last Monday. President Kellogg
called them together at the noon hour
and, in company with Professors String
ham and Soule, administered q consider
, able amount of sound advice to the young
women, cautioning them against the
repet1tio of such unladylike conduct as
some of them had been guilty of. The
president expressed the displeasure of the
faculty at the co-eds taking part in the
rough contests of the men students, de-
claring that he had been deeply grieved to
hear of it,
Professor Soule, who saw Monday s
rush, expressed the opinion that such
contests were not for lady students, and
declared that no good would come to the
university by their participating in class
fights. Professor Stringham called atten-
tion TO the published reports of the recent
Stanford rush, in which it was stated that
the Palo Alto ladies did not take part, as
in Berkeley, and said that the State UUi-
versity would be injured by a repetition OF
Mondays scenes and that compsrisons
with Stanford, to the detriment of Berke-
ley, were being made.
The co-eds are much wrought up over
the lectures given to them by the pro-
fessors, as they say reflection is cast on
the whole BODY of women students, while
only about dozen out of the entire 400 at
Berkeley took part in the rush. Small in
dignation meetings were held all after
noon among the young women.
Rev. DIR. Payne Resigns.
BERKELEY, CAL, Sept. 10.-Rev. Ed
ward B. Payne, pastor of the Unitarian
Society of Berkeley. has rendered his
resignation to the board of trustees. No
action has vet heen takaO On his rasi,pa
tion, and consequently the date of his
leaving remains uncertain.
He states that his work in the pulpit
here will close with the present year at
least. DR.. Payne has been pastor of the
church continuously since its foundation
