Seriously speaking, the ultimate out
look for silver reconciliation In Europe
is not discouraging. We have called atten-
ton TO the minority report of the Royal
Commission on Agricultural Depression,
and to its indictment OF silver demonetiza-
ton as the foundation cause of recent and
current depression throughout all countries
forced to gold standard. Lord Salisbury
has received petition from $50 labor
organizations in the United Kingdom, ask
ing the British government to join with
other nations In reestablishing the "status
quo ante" 1873. The agitation is def
ntely on. People in England and all other
gold countries interested in agriculture.
fast are becoming convinced that pros
perity never can come to the farmer, while
he is left in hopeless competition with
silver-using regions like Argentina, Uru-
vitally affected by present conditions than
the British landed aristocracy, and theyare
growing significantly restive under them.
Before long We shall See them joining with
the industrial classes in a demand for relief,
which political parties in the United King
dom will not dare TO ignore. 1t need not be
expected that Great Britain viii abandon
the single gold standard for home pur-
poses; but there is room for the belief
that the pressure will he strong enough to
compel reopening of the indian mints,
and consent to an international agreement
restoring the silver par of exchange to
IL l-2 or 16 to 1. If the United States
Government only had the sense and cour-
age, and the desire TO bring back prosperity
TO the American people, and would re-
monctize our silver, the question would be
solved once and for all time. Such a course
would force himetallism upon Europe in
six months.

IL may seem paradoXical, but the return
lated to remind people of matters corrected
with the foreign policy Of the Government,
with which we are not advised that the
venerable, Honorary Secretary Of State
ever has had anything to do since the ad-
vent of the Hanna Administration. How
ever, this is a psychological matter, in
volving the association OF antipodal ideas
quite out of place in discussion on a hot
day. Suffice il, that ''Uncle john is
here, hale and hearty, and ready to give
his undivided attention to those vast and
complicated interests which he has evolved
and promoted during a long career OF self
denial and intense devotion.
Affairs of State, also are in evidence.
There are the Peruvian claim and the
Morocco difficulty, for example. The lat
ter is great honor to the authorities. 1t
IL not a tariff question Of leather, but re-
laues to n fierce naval demonstration made
by us recently on the Barbary coast. A
Morocco native, who might be supposed In
Consequence to be reasonably tough, en-
ployed by our own consulate, was set upon
and pounded by other samples OF Morocco
in the street. Could the proud bird OF
freedom stand that? Our Navy was prompt
foI vengeance, and the ruler OF the low
cut slipper state made proper amends.

A Lasting Faith.

The most forcible example of faith
that is lasting ever recorded in the South
west is shown in the history OF Captain
George Searles of Tombstone. For eight
long years he has been working one claim
that has never yet returned him a cent.
With no other assistance than his own
hands, he has already done 1000 feet of
work in shafts and drifts. His claim is
just below Tom bstone quite near the
stage road and not far from the famous
Contention mine. His faith is that the
rich Contention ledge runs through his
claim, and that ere long he will strike that
ledge and jump in moment from almost
a pauper to a millionaire No one else
believes this; but that makes no difference
to him, and every day when he goes down
his mine he expects TO come out a rich
man.
