Chauncey M. Depew, as president Of
the Valentine syndicate" composed
chiefly of New York capitalists, is de-
stdned to become power in the little
Central American republic of Honduras.
His syndicate has secured the privilege
of building a railroad in that country,
with various fattering concessions, but
also obligates itself to liqlHdate the debt
Of Honduras and to guard the coast
against smugglers by means of one or
more armed vessels.
Why shouldn't Chauncey be made
Hondurian secretary of the navy, secre-
tary of the treasury and secretary of
the interior all in one? He would not
only fill the posts ably, but would focus
public attention on one of the modest
little sections of the globe. A boom of
this kind would be quite acceptable to
Honduras.

The citizens association on the report
of the commission on state charitable
and reformatory institutions congratu-
lates itself on the progress it has made
toward changes which the association
desires to see enacted in the Massachu-
sets system of public charity. 1t notes
with some qualification that the state
board of lunacy and charity in it's re-
cently-published annual report, has
Joined in the recommendation of the
commission in regard to changes in the
settlement laws and for state care of
the pauper insane.
But the association takes issue with
the board on it's continued opposition to
their proposed department for children
while realizing that this opposition is
dlfhcult to overcome. The board holds
that neither high professional skill nor
scientific training is necessary in car
ing for the minor wards of the state;
that it is hard to see how the state chill
dren can be better CARED for than at
present; and that the members of the
present state board can give fully as
much time to personal visitation and in
spectlon of the children as the members
Of any new board or commission.
These three propositions are vigorous
ly combatted by the association, which
makes very strong case for itself on
paper. Just how practical its ideas
are, however, and how economical. are
questions which are likely to be eluci-
dated at the public hearings which are
to begin at the state house on February
2.
The matter of the care of the children
under the protection of the state is inn
portant enough, to warrant the most
careful attention and scrutiny; and the
efforts which the association have made
to keep it before the public cannot be
too highly commended.

The practicabihty of a department of
trade and manufactures in this country
has of late years been discussed pro
and con from time to time. Possibly
some idea Of what such a department
might accomplish in the single matter
of stimulating our trade with other
countries, may be gained when the pro
posed French national bureau of for
eign commerce becomes a reality. This
bureau of foreign commerce is proposed
by the ministers of commerce and
finance, who have just submitted a
draft Of a law creating such bureau
to the parliament.
Inasmuch as other countries are at
present making inroads upon French
trade, it has been thought advisable to
create the bureau in question, which is
expected to bring about good results.
In connection with this, it is interesting
TO note that in France the idea largely
holds that cit is wiser and more hui
name to afford government aid to trans
portation than to depend upon cheaper
productions Of wages forced by compe-
tition" As matter of fact, wages are
generally higher in France than in the
other countries of continental Europe.
and this has told against the country
in the international trade competition.

SUNDAY. JANUARY 30. 1sss.

Unless congress acts very soon on the
postmaster generals recommendation
for an urgency appropriation, the post
masters in the various important cities
throughout the country will continue to
be in state of mind regarding the
letter carrier service difficulty. Until
congress acts-and it is said that it's
action on the recommendation will be
nearly unanimous = the officials at
Washington will not know whether to
take steps or not for making the pro-
posed reductions in the number of de-
liveries in the cities. Speedy action
seems to be very necessary.

Hitherto the United States has pro-
duced annually more gold than any
other country, and still does. Neverthe-
less, despite the comparatively recent
Cripple Creek and Klondike strikes. this
country, large as it is, is liable in a short
time-perhaps within year-to be dis
tanced in this production by the little
TransVaal republic in South Africa. In
that country, where both natural and
climatic conditions render gold mining
easy and pleasant, where there are no
Arctic terrors as at Dawson City, the
yield of the precious metal increased
S13,500OOO in 1897 as against $4,000, 900
for the United States during the same
period. Moreover it is believed that the
Transvaal yield will increase rapidly for
several years to come; and that, too, at
a time when the difference in total pro-
duction between the Transvaal and this
country is little more than $4,000.
Australia is another close competitor
with the United States as to gold; and
her increase in production was also
greater than that Of this country last
year
At present, according to the figures for
1897, estimated by the Engineering and
Mining Journal, the three great gold
producing countries of the world are:
United States. s55,49Ss5O; Transvaal
s55, AZ, 300; Australia, $49,0OO,0OO.
