A MACHINE has been invented for typewriting and adding figures at the same time. The invention is intended to quickly and accurately add eolum or columns of figures, and. at the same time, and by the same manipulation of the keys, to print these figures upon a sheet of paper or blank book in the order in which they are added, so as to form proof sheet, which will verify the correctness of the addition. The machine works with the ease of type writer, and its speed is only limited by the skill of the operator. It subtracts by reversing arrangement, the regis. tering disk running both ways.

Chamber reafirmedS their Respective
attitudes towards the Ministry. Inc
complication. therefore. takes the
form of quarrel, in which the Sen
ate is on one side and the Ministry ana
the House OF Deputies are on the other.
and II appears that there II no clear pro-
vision in the Constitution pointing the
way to It's settlement.
The Constitution requires that the Min
istry shall resign when II Is subjected TO
an adverse vote OF Parliament. Hereto
fore the Ministries that have gone 10
pieces by reason OF that provision have
been practically forced out by vote of
Che Deputies alone. the Senate either ac-
auiescing or remaining silent. On the
strength OF the votes Of confidence by the
Chamber, the Bourgeois Ministry has re-
fused to resign. and while theoretically the
upper house has the same power as the
lower, Bourgeois and his colleagues took
issue on that point with the Senate. and
raised. for the first time. the question
whether n Ministry was the creation OF
the two houses, or OF the lower house
alone.
The final outcome OF these conditions
will be watched with interest, and we
may reasonably expect that predictions Of
a revolution and coup d'etat will con-
tlnue until the deadlock is broken. But
the republic has passed successfully
through greater strains than the present
one. and true republicanism is taking
deeper root in France every day. Indeed,
we would not be surprised II the crisis
did not do more to strengthen the repub-
lie than anything else that has happened
for a long time. In that ii is calculated
TO demonstrate the necessity of amend
ing the Constitution Of France 30 as to
render the Ministry independent of the
two chambers. thus abolishing hybrid
system of government that is neither
genuinely monarchical nor genuinely re-
publican in the way It operates.

SILVER AND THE INDIAN MINIS.

The closing by the British Government
OF the Indian minis was the hardest
blow which silver ever received. Inat
measure has never ceased to vex the
financial world 1t has been Invested
with new interest by the question OF Sir
William Holdsworth In the British House
Of Commons on Thursday last. The cable
tells that in reply 10 a question, MT.
Balfour said II was not true that Ger
many had approached Great Britain
with a view 10 the conclusion or
monetary agreement, but he added that
the British Government was willing 10
consider the matter of reopening the
Indian minis il such action could be
made part Of a satisfactory scheme OF
currency reform.
The reader will see at once that though
Mr.. Balfour has not committed his gov
eminent TO any specific measure OF cur
rency reform, he has said for that gov
eminent that it desires "a satisfactory
scheme OF currency reform" This de-
claration as TO currency reform Is based
upon the assumption that the world
needs that sort of reform. 1t opens also
the question of the free coinage OF silver
by international agreement-a measure
of which, as we have just said, the whole
world stands in need We do not wish
to overrate the importance or signh-
canoe OF Mr.. Balfour's utterance. and We
do not think We DO so when we say
that it may possibly lead to that sort Of
action which he said might be made
part OF a Satisfactory scheme Of cur
rency reform" BY the way. he did not
assume that England possessed already
the best currency in the world. as SO
many monometallists declare is the fact.
To come nearer home. we may say
that the Mississippi Legislature ought
not to have declared. as il did on Thurs
day, in favor of the free coinage Of sill
yer independently Of the action of any
other government than that OF the
United States.
