During his stay in England Mr..
Field had unusual advantages for
observing the trend of public thought
and noting the most prominent feat
ures OF the commercial and financial
situation.
The times, as we call the general
condition of things said MI. Field,
"are good all over Great Britain.
Business is fourishing. ! might

far as l observed. But this is moth
ing unusal, for the business situation
varies very slightly in that country
from year to year
lis there any prospect, in your
opinion, of any change yer being
made in England S monetary system?'
None whatever, said Mr.. Field,
with much emphasis. The idea
that England will ever make any re.
vision of her monetary system might
as we'll be dismissed for good by
those who have entertained any such
hopes in this country. With Indis
struggling to get back to specie anC

will make no experiments Of tina

A Great Success.

The flower show surpassed anything
of the kind ever seen IN Greenville and
the teachers and pupils of th epublc
school feel very proud OF the success
achieved. 1t seems simply incredible
that 80 much could have been done in
go short time. Friday school was
held until O'Clock aud between that
hour and five p. m. the assembly hall
was transformed as ifby magic, into a
fairy bower at which the 9th annual
flower show was iuaugurated. We
asked one of the teachers how it was
all done and he laconica'ly replied,
"by bard work" The nuns were
quite up to the standard of former
yeare, Possibly they were not quito
so large, but in lecture aud color they
wese tiuer and the display was larger.
But to our mind tho rose asserted
her right to the queenship last night,
and Mr.. Bass had to admit that here
after the style of the show would be
"RoSe and VnrysAnIhemum show,"this
giving the queen of flowers her right
to precedence which she so clearly
demonstrated. A gentleman present,
who had seen many flower shows IN the
mother cities, declared he had never
seen such roses even grown by profes.
sionaI florists. He could hardly be-
lievc that all those roses were blooming
