John Bright Needed.

London, Feb I4.-The Duke of Dew
onshire, Lord President of the Council
In unwilling today the statue erected in
the central hall of Parliament to the
memory of the. late John Bright, said
there never was time when the pres.
ence and influence of Mr.. Bright was
more sorely missed than at present. He
referred to Mr.. Bright's great respect
and admiration for the institutions OF
the United States and to the sympathy
he felt for the American people. In so
doing the speaker maintained that Mr..
Bright was as.much honored and respect
ed "by the people on the other side of
the Atlantic as in our own country"
In conclusion, the Duke of Devon
shire lamented that at the present time
there was no influence so potent for the
of the friendship between
Great Britain and the United States as
hat of Mr.. Bright would have been.

GRAVE SITUATION.
Action of the Cabinet Looked Upon
as Revolutionary

London, Feb. I6.-The Paris cores
pondence to the Times telegraphs as
follows to that paper; The cabinet has
sounded clear note, fit succeeds it is
nothing more or less Than coup detat
II it fails it is an act of violence to no
good end. The setting aside of tbs vote
of the senate virtually upsets the consti-
tuition, If the senate stands firm there
are only two alternatives-the resigna-
ton of the ministers or the expulsion of
the senate by mob. The latter would
mean the superseding of the constitu-
by revolutionary convention.
The chamber of deputies, which re-
assemblies on Thursday, after a cabinet
council on Tuesday, may, however, re-
coil from from second vote, which
might prove disastrous.
The situation is the most delicate we
have seen for twenty five years.

Financial School.

Twenty per cent of the business men
of this country have a capital of less
than $1,000.
When the last census was taken the
depositors in the savings banks num-
bered 4,s332I7.
OF the farmers of this country, one
fourth, or as per cent, have property
valued at less than $1,000.
In the professional classes of this
country, such as doctors, lawyers, teach
ers, journalists and clergymen, 40 per
cent have less than ST. 900 capital
The difference in valuation of property
at the last census was very remarkable
In some states the assessment was no
more than IS per cent of the real value
of the property, while in other cases it
is believed to have been as high as the
selling price.
The last census made no account of
notes, bonds, or other promises to pay,
whether public or private, and these
were not included in the estimated
wealth for the reason that, while they
are owned by one individual or corpora
tion, thay are owed by another.
In 1850 the total wealth of this coun-
try was $7l36,ooo,ooo. about $3oS per
capita; in 1860 it had risen to $I6,I6o,.
100000, or about $sIs per head; in 1870
it was $3o,o69oooooo, or about $3.50 per
head in 1880 it had risen 70 $500
100000, or $50 per head and in 1890 to
500 ,ooo,ooo,ooo or $1,000 per head. The
actual money is only $40 to each perron.
