An Exchange IerseIY SAYS

1t is curious that the Herald, which
at times can write with such vigor
and clearness of insight on the poll
tical situation, invariably comes to
grief whenever it attempts to deal
with anything connected with econ
omics.
In a recent issue it tries to show
that the low price of hay is due to
the enormous falling off in the crop
for the last three years, which was
in turn due to prolonged periods of
drouth.
Surely it must be obvious to any
schoolboy that whenever there is a
great falling off in the production of
any staple, never mind what the
cause, with anything like a normal
demand prices must go up
The fact that the price of hay,
even with an enormously decreased
crop, has fallen, gives additional
strength to the contention of the
Republicans that the market has
contracted. owing to the decreased
purchasing power of the people, even
greater than the contraction in the
output of staples.
Even though the value of the hay
crop last year was nearly two hun
dred millions less than it was in '93,
prices of hay remained low, because
the purchasing power Of the people
was so reduced that the demand was
even less than the reduced hay
crop.
This is one more proof that
s'cheapness'' and "dearness' are not
absolute, but only relative, to pur-
chasing power. 1t matters not how
cheap a thing is if you have not the
money to buy it.
If all the year were playing holiday,
To sport would be as tedious as to
work
But when they seldom come, they
Vished-f for come.

whs, Dreams Signify.

To see a rainbow in a Democratic

Salt river.
To dream that your beard has
grown very long indicates windy
weather.
To dream that you are alone in a
boat means that you favor Carlisle's
financial policy.
For a married man to dream oi
wearing old clothes signifies that
Easter is near.
TO dream that your head has
grown to immense proportions indi
Gates that you spent the previous
evening with a sick friend.

LONDON, May A-Oniolal opinion hsrs
regards tie death Of the shah with grave
apprehension, as 20 Is feared that IL Will
hasten a collision between British and
Russian interests In Persia The foreign
Office holds a copy of secret convention
signed by the dead shah conceding 10 Rus
sin tho right to occupy northern Persia'in
the event of a foreign (meaninga British)
attack. or internal discord menacing his
reign or the succession of Prince Muzaifer-
ed Din. The shah himself communicated
the convention 10 the British minister,
explaining that he did not doubt the
friendship of Great Britain, but submit
ted tho convention as helping 60 foil tho
Russian plans for the annexation of the
provinces OF Khorassan and Mazanderan.
Prince Muzaffor- cd Dins knowledge Of
this treaty led to his adhesion to Russia.
Through him Russian agents obtained
special privileges, including the concession
for the construction of a railway which is
now approaching the Persian gulf.
1t may not. be q groundless suspicion
that Muzaifor cd. Dins adherents were
concerned in the assassination Of tho
shah. Recently bitter foud existed be-
tween the shah and Muzaiier ed Din over
tho misuse of the taxes collected in tho
provinces ruled over by the prince. This
trouble led the shah to threaten to noml-
nate his second son. Massul Mlrzz as his
successor, though Prince Massul suffers
from glauooma. Ho was operated upon
by an oculst in Paris last year. He is OF
weak physique, If not intellect He has
five sons and a humorous following sup
porting his claims 20 tho throne. In tho
event Of a dynastic war Russia will GER
tainly seizo the northern provinces under
the convention, and this will cause the
gravost international complications, ms the
British government Is determined TO bar
Russia's way to the Persian gulf and will
intervene in southern Persia.
