TORONTO. Aug 1O.A com blned effort Ia about
to be made by city banks to decrease the circu-
lation of American bills in this city. At present
the city Is flooded with American silver certin-
Gates. The following notice is posted in the
Standard Bank to-day:
"On and after Saturday, Aug. Is. American
one.dollar bills will only be received for 90
cents"
II is understood that other banks will follow
the example OF tho Standard Bank. This action
will probably result in q much decreased circu-
lation of American bills In this city. In regard
TO American silver. most OF the city banks are
not accepting 1t at all. Some will accept Amer
lean silver only from customers, but only in
small amounts. Tho railway companies refuse
TO handle 1t. and departmental stores are dis
cussing the advisability OF refusing It as money.
HAMILTON. Ont, Aug. l0.-FollowinG the ex-
ample of the Toronto banks the merchants and
local banks here have decided 10 refuse to ac-
cept American silver ana silver certificates
For years American bills and American cur
rency have been accepted at par by many mer-
chants United States silver or silver certifi-
Gates will not be accepted in payment of city
taxes. This action is not due entirely to the
silver agitation In the United States, but to the
fact that at present there Is too much American
silver in circulation in Canada.

Both of One Mind

a story going the rounds just

illustrate the simple good nature
which makes the Emperor Francis
Joseph so popular among all classes
of his often unruly subjects. Herr
Sikel, Hungarian deputy, after
growing gray in the exercise of his
parliamentary duties, thought the
time had come when he might fair
ly ask for post under government
as the reward Of his services, Ac-
cordingly he called on the Premier
and delicately preached the subject,
"My dear fellow" exclaimed Baron
Banfy, 81 should he delighted to
find you billet, but nobody over 40
can be appointed to the civil service
without the express permission Of
the sovereign" So Herr Sikel, don
ming the national costume, hurried
up to Vienna, went to the Hofburg,
and after due preliminares, got an
audience of his King (Huugarians

into the royal presence he slid his
petition on to a side table, and then
stood overawed and Iumbfounded

quired, Sand what can | do for you,
my friend?" Poor Sikel could only
manage to blurt out, "Your Majesty,
l should like to be 40 years of age"
"Ah," replied the Kaiser, "and SO
should l." But a glance at the fur
tive document had revealed the
mans errand, and he was sent off

PUBLIC OPINION.
Thoughts Expressed by Other Jour
nails.

A foreigner recently expressed his
surprise at the toleration of the
American people. He said that we
allow abuses TO exist in our public
service, official and otherwise, which
Englishmen would not endure at all.
The American citizens. good nature,
carelessness and tai absorption in
business, he declared, are response
BILE for most of the abuses which
exist in this country. No doubt he
is right in part at least. We do not
know how just his comparison with
England may be, but it is certain
that our people are too careless in
their dealings with their public SER
wants. AS people we must learn
to scrutinize more carefully the acts
OF our representatives in all official
stations. Unbusiness, like methods,
extravagance and even dishonesty
in public affairs go unrebuked year
after year because people are too
careless or too prejudiced by pafti-
sanship to call the offenders to ac-
count. This has piled up our taxes
until they can hardly be borne with
the decrease in our means OF pay,
ment. Sooner or later our people
must learn that they are at fault in
this matter. The final responsibility
rests with them, and il they neglect
it they must suffer for it.
Our educators in all lines can
teach no other lesson at this time
that will be of more value than the
lesson of good government. Not
spread-eagle generalities but plain
dollars and-cents ideas about public
affairs are needed. Good govern
ment is economical government,
whether it be of township, county,
state or nation.
