many of the prominent officials are bank

1t is difficult to understand the object
of Representative Mansfield, of Mcintosh,

The Price of silver.
From the Louisville-courier Journal tDe

from inc ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OUIH NDFIHJ
AS silver is produced by the Broken
Hill Proprietary Company's mines in
New South Wales at a cost of less than
twenty-five cents an ounce, and as the
great copper mines are turning it out for
less, there is no reason to expect any per-
manent rally in tbe market. II is clearly
a case of the law. Of supply and demand.

To judge from Marshal Blanco's mani
festoes, SPANS new policy in Cuba is
really based upon desire to improve the
condition of the people of the island. Blan-
co has instituted period of ''reconstruc-
tion," and viii endeavor to undo some of
the devilish work of his predecessor. 1t
is to be hoped that the reconstruction"
period in Cuba will not resemble the SINH
larry called period which the south passed
through after it had been devastated by
Sherman and other federals. There is a
possibility, by the way, that Blanco's leni-
ent policy may be construed by the Gu
bans as showing weakness; in which case
1t would fail of it's purpose.

ChamberIain's Criticism.

The speech of Joseph Chamberlain, the
English colonial secretary, delivered at
the banquet of the Glasgow corporation
a few days ago, in which he commented
freely on the New York city election, con-
tains some points worthy of thoughtful
consideration. Our first impulse is, of
course, to resent an Englishman's inter
ference in our local affairs, particularly
as he never sees anything in our institu-
lions which compares favorably, in his
opinion, with British institutions, but not
withstanding the motive which prompted
Mr. Chamberlain's speech, it is a ques'
ton whether there isn't a good deal of
truth in what he said.
He made the point that the successful
party in the New York election sought
the spoils of office. He wished to be I'M
derstood of course that the spoils of
office are the chief incentive in all NUM-
cipal contests in this country. That be-
ing the case, the conclusion he reached
was that in municipal government we are
bound to have bad service and great deal
of waste. In England the cities are in
the hands of experts in their various de-
partments. These chiefs and their subor
dinates are appointed for merit only, and
they retain their places during good be-
havlor. The business of a municipal cor
poration in England, therefore, is conduct
ed on business principles by men who are
as competent as those who conduct the
affairs of private corporations, and who
are as well paid. Only the head of mu-
nicipality is elected at stated periods.
In this country the offices of a city gov
eminent are filled with the members of
the successful party Consequently, in
almost every city there is a large per-
centage of incompetent officials, and there
is no way to get rid of them except to
turn the party to which they belong out
of power. Therefore, there is a great deal
of extravaganza, and the public welfare
is matter of secondary Importance.

TO EIGnT CONSUMPTION.

In Il conversation with our townSman
Frank =. Bel who has recently visited
Denver, Colorado, he told Il representa-
tive Of The Times Of the precautions
taken in that city against the spread of
knows. Is Il popular resort for consump.
tives, and it seems that the people OF that
city recognize the Importance of keeping
the native population intact. The streets
and pavcmcnts being asphalt. eXpectora-
tionS from conSumptivcs would soon
mingle with the dust and impregnate the
mir with germs of the disease TO avoid
this, on the corners and in convenient
places along the streets. boxes are placed
bearing IL placard requesting cons,lmp-
tives 10 eXpectorate in them. These
boxes are supplied with some germ de.
stroycr, and contents removed every few
days. In some of the public buildings
it is no unusual thing to see placards
posted bearing the inscription, Don t
spit your microbes here" There is no
fact better established 10y the medical
fraternit, than that consumption is II
germ disease, highly contagious, and
when we reflect that in the city Of New
York alone more adults die yearly from
this disease than from ali others COM
bined, then we can but wonder that peo-
pie do not look upon this matter in IL r;l-
tional light and adopt some practical
method to prevent its spread. Sooner
or later this will have to be done, and
now is the time for soiue one to gain
fame by devsng the best means for this
end
