throughout for cOttons and woolens alike.
The demand for the speedy delivery of
goods bought earlier in the season still
continues demonstrating a lively distrib-

of this, buyers are sending forward re-
orders Of only fair proportions. In
wooden goods more liberality is shown
than in cotton as rule, though printed

are in steady demand. With jobbers local

at 25s cents. The market for extras is
strong, but requests for goods are with

fused For spots at the market price there
is little call. Odd goods firm. The sales
so far have been light. Prints are firm

PROGRESS OF BIMETALLIsM.

That the cause of :imetallism is making
rapid progress in Europe seems clear from
some arguments published in the National
Reuiew last month Mom the pens OF three
well-poste1 men representing the bimet tall
lie leagues of. France, Germany and
England. These were Edmond d Artois,
assistant general secretary of the French
league. Otto A-endt. who is a member Of
the Prussian Diet and honorary secretary
of the German league, and Al0enham of
the British league. The papers were
Senator Chandler upon the occasion of his
recent elaborate speech on bimetallism.
D'Artois states that the great deprecia-
ton of silver in terms of gold which took
place in June, 1893, after the closing OF the
Indian mints TO the free coinage of silver,
drew at last the attention OF several French
economists to the consequences of the new
state of things. and that the principle Of
international bimetallism made hence
forth giant strides III France. In 1885,
Ribot, who was then Prime Minister and
Minister OF Finance. gave il as his opinion
that the abandonment of binetailism
coinciding with other causes precipitated
the crisis of agricultural depression which
was then weighing heavily on France.
D'Artois further informs US that at
least two-thirds OF the French Senate are
of opinion that the establishment OF in
ternational bimetallism would bs to the
welfare of their country, and about two
thirds of the Chamber Of Deputies in the

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

The quest tion of Hamlets real or feigned in
sanity has been for more than century the
wonder and despair OF poets, actors, medical
experts and philosophers, despite the vast
literature that has poured forth on the SUBJ
ject. The master mind in English dramatic
literature is undoubtedly seen at its best in
this his masterpiece, and among the thinking
people, both students and theater-goers, this
play has not yet ceased to hold its universal
power and fascination, even though its mys-
terry battles discovery and the riddle remains
the riddle still. For the most part the discus
sion OF this play has been confined principally
to two classes OF contestants-those who main
tain that Hamlet was madman, and those
who insist that he but feigned insanity. Mar
tin w. Cooke. in his work called sThe Human
Mystery of Hamlet" declares that both of
these theories are erroneous, and that neither
can ever be fully established. Mr.. Cooke pre-
sents an able and original solution of the prob
lem. Excluding the idea that Hamlet is in
tended to present any single individual or
character he believes that the office of the
character is to exhibit typical, mental strug-
giles; that Hamlet is not person, but type.
In Hamlet is shown the concentration of
all tragedies. With him every passion is an
active one, powerful rebel against the will
and forces which determine action, cripple
and counteract each other. His will is op-
posed by the powers within him. In the old
Greek plays men hopelessly struggled against
fate, and it is in this light that Mr. Cooke sees
in Hamlet a being commanded by power or
will that is supernatural, will that is not of
this world. "He is a player" says Cooke,
"actlng the part that typifies humanity and in
play that sets forth mans spiritual life in
worldly conditions under pressure of the law
of the supernatural" This antagonism be-
tween mans will, influenced by his passions
and the all-controlling will above him, is the

spring of 1896 passed resolution express
ing the same sentiment. No doubt, he
adds, can therefore be entertained that
of the French Parliament are in favor OF
bimetaliism.
Otto Arendt says that by the resoiu-
tions OF the German Parliament, and the
Prussian State Council, and the Prussian
Diet, the German Government is bound to
use all its means to contribute TO an inter-
national settlement of the currency ques-
ton, and will not, as was the case in 1892,
be represented by fanatic gold men. Ger
man sentiment is in favor of bimetaliism.
and only awaits the action Of England in
that way. Should conference take place
the German Parliament can be relied
upon as strong supporter.
Aldenham. the President of the British
Bimetallic League, states that resolu-
tion passed last year by the House OF
Com without amendment or division
convinces him that the alleged decline OF
interest in bimetallism is a vain imagina-
ton, and that Sir Michael Hicks Beach,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer. with the
full assent of the House of Commons, will
do all that can be done 10 promote a
monetary agreement between the great
commercial nations.
1t is evident from these statements that
the cause of bimetallism has strong sup
port in Europe as well as in this country.

the movement for international agree

THE PLIGHT OF THE POWERS

Popular sentiment in Germany as well
as in France and IN England is beginning
to laugh at the national authorities for
their comically austere treatment of little
Greece in the face of the fact that little
Greece is not at all profoundly impressed
by the austerity, but is rather inclined to
treat it with contempt.
The thing which most amuses the gen.
eral public is the painful difficulty exper.-
enced by the great powers" to reallZe
just how much little Greece he's humiIi-
ated them. They cannot help feeling that
they have fallen down ANONYMOUSLY to
some extent, but they are somewhat CON-
fused as to the precise magnitude of their
disgrace. Unquestionablv they feel guilty.
They would back out now if they only
knew exactlv where they are at and how
to retire with some pretension to dignity.
The National Zeitung, published in Ber-
lin, openly sneers at the Kaisers mad
break in causing his warship to bonn bard
the Cretan insurgents while the latter
were fighting the Turks last Thursday
All this heavy superconsciousness of their
lofty positions which the 'powers" have
displayed in their stuffed attitude toward
little Greece has been pronounced i'm
pertinent and ridiculous. Visions of one
lone settler on the frontier being ap-
preached by six or seven strutting troopers
with bright tin swords and toy carbines
arse before the ordinary observer and
nearly convulse him with mixeo amuse-
ment and disgust.
1t is high time that the newspapers over
the way hammer a realization OF this state
OF affairs into the heads of the authorities
and convince them that there are mo-
ments when other peoples business might
reasonably want to be alone.

POINTS FROM PENNSYLVANIA.

The 110.75 anniversary of the Western
University of Pennsylvania was celebrated
last week. A feature OF the occasion was
street parade through Pittsburg. This
was composed mainly of students of the
university, and those precious limbs of
learning varied the tedium of mere
marching with some Of the most remark
able exhibitions that were ever invented
By the ingenuity of reckless and irrespon-
sible youth. Add to the natural failings
of youth in these respects some sort of a
collegiate connection and you have a COM
bination that cannot be equaled for devil
try in the entire animal kingdom.
The Pennsylvania students had float
representing a dissecting room in their
parade. Skulls and skeletons dangled
promiscuously about at every corner and
in the center stood dissectIng table con-
corpse.
Surrounding this grewsome object were
medical students, arrayed in white aprons
and armed with scaipels, and here and
there every few moments one of them
wSuld cut chunk of meat from the pre-
tended cadaver and throw it out to the
crowds, "as souvenir OF the occasion, -
they ingenuously explained.
We are glad that this did not occur in
the wild and woolly West. Had it done
so we should probably have afforded the
respectable and eminentIy proper gentle
folk of Pennsylvania and New York an
indefensibie point for that style of attack
which so warns the cookies OF their unctu-
Gus throats as they utter it forth upon US.
What a sad thing it would be. by the
way, if civilization were confessediy rep
resented by the budding brains which
bloom through its highest institutions of
learning II our students were criterions
of what we are coming 10 intellectually,
we should soon find ourselves praying for
surcease of study throughout the world.

LESS TALK AND MORE ACTION.

If there be any more Representatives in
the House who come as near to knowing
what they are there for as Mr. Dalzeli OF
Pennsylvania does, they have at least
afforded that gentleman plenty OF time In
which TO beat them in affirming 1t. Only
last week Mr.. Dalzell was inspired to get
upon his feet and declare his conversion
to the belief that 'The country does not
want declam alton; it wants action. Words
are poor substitutes for men who want
work. Oratory will not open a single mill
or klndle single furnace fire."
That glistening truth should fall upon
Mr.. Dalzeli's associates like a white light.
We certainly have had enough tariff
discussion to last US to the end OF our
days. The whole ground has been worked
over and over and over again. The Nation
itself has waded through so confusing a
mass of it that it has twice reversed its
verdict upon it at the polls.
1t is only question of time, if the end
less controversy goes on, when not man
jack of us will know even what tariff
means.
The decision at the last election was
Enthusiastically for protective tariff.
Ihat ought to be clear enough Ior even
the most conventional Congressman TO
discern, even through the observation OF
an enveloping fog-like self-esteem accen-
tuated by the bells and whistles of his
own oratory sounding through the mist.
Happily, however, prescriptive limit OF
time looms before US as relief from him,
whether he sees rightly or not. The 31st
instant will end the period originally set
apart for discussion" and while even the
utmost minute will doubtless be utilized
in chinning away as far from conclusion
as ever by some irrelevant idiot, there is
cheer in the knowledge that it will end
there. The Senate will then take up the
bill and let US devoutly hope pass it forth
with. 1t has been carefully and ably pre-
pared in the original and in that form
embraces exactly the views upon which
the Nation voted last November.
