a Case of'rruancy.

There was a case before Justice Fisher
last evening, which was somewhat out OF
the ordinary run OF justice cases.
John England, a resident OF Newtown,
was arrested on complaint of Truant
Officer Silvola, charged with not making
his l2-year-old son attend school regu-
larry. The boy has been a constant tru-
ant and the officer had done everything
possible To bring him to time without
going to court with the matter. He had
reported the matter to the boys mother
manytimes and informed her what would
be his duty in Ease she did not see that
the boy went TO school. The boy still
continued to be absent, and as last re
sort the officer had the father arrested.

The Engineering Record publishes
table showing the rates of interest at
which various cities have borrowed
money this year and last year, the les
son of which is that money is cheaper
and cheaper and that the capitalist gets
a small return for its use. Baltimore,
for example, got money in November,
1896, at 3.34 per cent, but in July,
1897, got it at 3. 2G per cent. Brooklyn
and New York got loans this summer
slightly lower--at 1921 and 3. ID per
cent respectively-but all the other
eight cities mentioned paid more than
Baltimore. Milwaukee paid Ago per
cent in August, 1896, and 3. SO per cent
in August, 1897. Provided the lender
has assurance that he will get his
money back he nowadays parts with it
"dirt cheap" one may say. The day OF
safe per cent investments is passing
away. Even per cent is hard to get on
safe long term investments. Baltimore

Gold lsasis For Mexico.

A recent dispatch from Mexico con.
vcys tho information that Mexico is
about to take what arc considered the
first steps toward II gold basis. 1t is
said that tho recent great fall in the
price of silver has been Il wonderful and
costly object lesson to Mexico and other
nations using silver MS the standard of
value.
Mexico produces considerable gold,
but it goes to other countries where it
is more appreciated. Mexico now pro-
poses to put IN export duty on gold. 1t
is argued that this will keep her gold
ut home and make it easy for her to
adopt gold standard in n few years. 1t
is also proposed to exempt gold miners
from every form of federal, state and
municipal taxation,
Another dispatch says that lit is un-
derstood that the next step will be the
depositing Of gold III tho federal treas
ury, the government to pay therefor III
silver dollars at tho current rate Of ex-
change on the day the deposit is made. !"
1t is argued that this plan would nc.
cumulate gold fund from which in
terest payments would be met and
would also make ii easy to change tho
basis. 1t is also stated that Mexico s
cabinet proposes to bring about the
gradual adoption of the gold standard
SO rs not to shock trade.
III view of tho above facts our silver
statesmen show great discretion in re-
framing from visiting Mexico

A String to 1t.

The old lady of Threadneedle street
Bank of England) has made an offer to
the bimetallic commission sent abroad
by this country which seems to give
pleasure 20 scme of the friends of sill
yer. !" Apparently the Bank Of England
agrees to hold one-tifth of its reserve III
silver, which it is permitted to do by
an act of parliament of 1914. In reality
it agrees to do so only under conditions
as difficult Of realization rs if it had
said "when the sun turns backward in
its course. These conditions are that
the French mint shall "be again OPEN
ed to the free coinage Of silver, and that
the prices Mt which silver is procurable
and salable are satisfactory ="
France could hardly open her minis
at any other ratio than her old one of
151a. 1t is practically certain that her
civilization is too far advanced for her
to attempt free coinage at 1913 to /
when the present ratio is about &C to l.
When 1.-THE prices at which sil Ter is
procurable and salablc are satisfactory"
may mean anything AS the Bank of
England cannot use silver III redemp-
ton of its notes it can afford to buy sill

yer only when it can be exchanged for
gold without risk of loss. OF course if
France had free coinage at fixed ratio
the Bank of England could easily and
quickly realize OH it's silver by having
it coined in Franco, when it would, if
silverism be true, exchange for gold at q
fixed ratio. When these conditions are
fully appreciated by the silverites, they
will see what an April fool" is being
played upon them
Two plausible and possible explana-
lions of this action of the Bank of Eng
land have been suggested. One is that
this offer is intended as a sop to the sii-
verites to keep alive the silver question
and to keep the United States on an
unsound basis as long as possible By
SO doing England would keep her great
est commercial rival in the same Grip
pied condition in which it has been for
several decades. The second is that as
British capitalists are the largest own
ers of silver mines and of silver mining
stocks in the world the Bank of Eng
land should lido something for silver.
1t is deemed unfair to the British mine
owners to leave them entirely depend
ent upon their free silver friends in
America
