WHERE GOLD COMES FROM

The dispatches announcing the gold
shipment for today state that but $40
900 of the $780, 600 which Lazard Freres
will export was furnished by the Uni
ted States treasury. The remainder
comes from the banks. This is not the
first of such announcements since the
present gold movement started, by any
means. In fact. it has become quite
the regular thing.
Has Secretary Gage given the gold
spectators a pointer. or have they be-
come afraid of the people? Have they
become alarmed lest they kill the goose
that lays the golden egg?
Nobody thought of going to the banks
for gold during Mr.. Cleveland's incum-
bency. The treasury furnished all of it.
The fact that the exporters are now di-
viding up-taking half from the treas
ury and half from the banks disprOves
the assertion which has sometimes been
made, that the gold movement follows
fixed laws of trade. 1t indicates that
they have the matter well in hand
and could take the whole amount in
tended for export from the banks if
they wished to do so, and could take
all of it from the treasury if they
dared
Notwithstanding the fact that the
banks nave been furniS hing about half
of the export gold since the present
movement set in, the treasury reserve
has fallen more than $11, 100000.
It is improbable that the present ad-
ministration will submit TO being forced
into an issue of bonds either for the
purpose of maintaining the reserve or
to meet a deficit. AS was pointed out
by Senator Vest, there is an available
cash balance of we'll on to a hundred
and fifty million dollars which will last
a long time in paying expenses. Mr..
Gage can easily find way to protect
the gold reserve when he chooses to do
so. The indications are that he has
said as much to the exporters.
Mr.. Cleveland was expensive, but he
taught the country a lesson that it will
not soon forget, and his successor a les
son that he is not unlikely to profit by
Besides, the senate, although it may be
on a little too intimate terms with the
sugar trust stands as a constant men
ace to any who become too bold in their
attempts to enrich themselves through
the medium of the country's financial

MISSIONARY MISTAKES.

fed up as he wasn't fit to kill. Well
he didn't say it in just those words,
but that's what he meant. His wife

the next day and we spent $4,000 in
trying to catch him.

THE LONDON SEASON.
&C. D. Gibson in Scribner's.)

&C. D. Gibson in Scribner's.)
The season begins about the time
parliament opens, and parliaments
opening and closing depend more or
less on fox hunting and grouse shoot
ing.
AS the season approaches town
houses are opened and green servants
are broken in; secretaries busy them
selves with lists and stationery, and the
winter campaign begins Immediately
upon the family's return to town. As
a London house is seldom needed for
more than the formal entertainments
of a season, it is in most cases hired;
consequently it is seldom attractive.
Acquaintance are entertained in the
city and friends are taken into the
country to spend the weeks end on the
family estate, surrounded by the house
hold goods and the most attractive side
of all England.
There the future members of the
house of lords and the bellies of some
future drawing room ride donkeys and
the older people ride wheels and sit
under English oaks and make little
water color sketches, and it is easily
seen why only social duties take them
to London.
