BY those who are interested as to the
question Of whether Or not the Dingley
law is going to produce sufficient rev.
enue to meet running expenses. Mr..
Dtngley still maintains the belief that
it will, and treasury officials who are
watching its operations closely also be
lieve that its revenue in the next fiscal
year will equal, and probably exceed,
the expenditures. Mr.. Dingley shows
that the revenue collected on the antici-
patory importations during the four
months prior to the enactment Of this
law were nearly $40,O00,OO0, all of
which would have been collected under
the present law had the importations
prior to its enactment been only nor
NAL. He predicts that the December re-
ceipts, excluding those from the Pacific
railroads, will equal the December
expenditures, and that long before the
fiscal year is ended the receipts under
the Dingley law will be sufficient to
meet all running expenses and produce
a surplus in the next fiscal year Of Mt
least ten million dollars. There is n
general feeling at least that the new
law should be permitted to show what
1t can do under normal conditions. and
that If at any time it should be found
advisable to increase the revenues,
which. however, is not probable, 1t
would be accomplished without any
general disturbance of the present law
or reimbursement Of it's rates.

CHAPTER Nj.

II was when the sun. shining into her
room. reached her that an idea occurred
to Thilippa which was like the ~up-spring-
ing of new life to her. All was not vet
lost. He did not love her-he had not
thought of making her his wife: but it did
not follow that he would never do so.
What had not patience and perseverance
accomplished before now? What had not
love won?
She hoped against hope. Each day she
counted the kind words he had said to her;
she noted every glance, every look. e
expression. But she could not find that
she made In progrcss-nothing that in
dicatel any change from brotherly friend
ship to love. Still had she not hoped
against hope. the chances are that she
would have died of a>broken heart.
Then the season ended. She went back
to Nerdun Royal with Lady Peters, and
Lord Arleigh to B~eechgrove. They wrote
to each other at Christmas, and met Mt
Calvcrley, the seat of Lord Rineham. BY
this time some Of Miss L'Estrange's adj
mircrs had come to the conclusion that
there was no truth in the report of the
engagement between herself and Lord
.Arlcigh. Among these was his grace the
duke of Hazelwood. He loved the beau
tiful. quccnly girl who had so di%sdainfully
refused his coronet-the very refusal had
made him care more than ever for her.
When the Duke of Hazelwood made ND
his mind, he generally accomplished his
desire; he sought Lord Arleigh with such
assiduity, he made himself so pleasant and
agreeable to him, that the master of
Beechgrove soon showed him his most
cordial and sincere liking. Then they be-
came warm friends. The duke contided
in Lord Arleigh-hc told him the whole
story of his love for Miss L'Estrange.
II KNOW" he said, that no one has so
much influence over her us you. do not
believe in the absurd stories told about an
engagement between YOU, hut l see plain
ly that she Is your friend, and that You
nre hers: md 1 want You to use your in
tluence with her in my favor"
Lord Arlcigh promised to do so-and he
intended to keep his promise; they were
on such intimate and friendly terms that
he could venture upon saying anything of
that kind to her. The opportunity that
Lord Arleigh looked for came Mt last.
Philippa had some reason to doubt the
honesty of n man whom she had been
employing us agent. She resolved upon
laying the matter before Lord Arleigh.

listened very patiently, examined the
affair, and then told her that he believed
she had been robbed.
"Philippa," he continued, why do you
not marry? A husband would save you
all this trouble; he would attend to your
affairs. and shield you from annoyances
of this kind"
THE answer to your question, why
do l not marryy would form a long story
she replied.
"Plilippa, there is something that
wish to say to you-something that I long
have wished to say. Will you hear il
now:"
A tremor like that of the leaves in the
wind seemed to pass over her. There wat
a startled expression in the dark eyes,
culver Of the crimson lips. Was It com,
ing at last-this for which she had longet
all her life? She controlled all outwart

ments in the Presidents message seem
to be thoroughly satisfied with the de-
velopments this far under the new adj
ministrntion. The sensational sugges-
tions of eX-Minister Taylor, that the
people of the United States should rise
and demand instant action irrespective
of It's prospective effect upon the coun-
try and its relations with other parts
of the world, do not seem to have met
with any response IN the part Of the
people. Members Of Congress report
their constituents well satisfied appar-
emily with the developments thus far
and quite willing to trust the admins
tration, which has handled the matter
with such success both in obtaining the
release of all American citizens in Gu
ban prisons and seeing it's recommends
tons to Spain followed by propositions

Cuban matter is not forgotten or over

Bryan and Mexico.
A curious fact which comes to the
surface here just now is especially in
teresting, in view Of Mr.. Bryan's "tri-
umphal' tour in Mexico. It is a COM
parison which somebody has made of
the currency conditions in Mexico, COM
pared with those of the United States.
1t is observed by this statistical deliver
that the Mexicans who are heaping
adulations upon the American apostle
of the Mexican system Of finance have
a currency amounting to 80 cents per
capita in gold, against $685. per capita
in Mr.. Bryan's own country; $40 per
capita in silver dollars, worth As cents
each, against $S.7S of silver per capita
in the United States in dollars worth
100 cents each; 80 cents per capita in
silver basis paper money, against $3.50
per capita in gold standard paper mon
ey in the United States, making a total
Of $S.41 per capita, with $500 of it in
45-centson-the-dollar money in Mexico,
against $24.0S per capita in 1O0cents-
on-the-dollar money in the United
States.
This statistical fend also discovers
that the increase in money in clrcula-
ton in the United States since Mr.. Bry-
ans nomination amounts to twice as
much as the entire gold, silver and pa
per currency of all Mexico. When 1t
Is remembered that Mr.. Bryan in the
speech which captured the Chicago
convention and in all Of his speeches of
the campaign urged that the currency
OF the United States could not be In
creased in proportion to the growth of
the population without the adoption of

fact that the money in circulation has

that there were many misgivings about
the future Of the tariff bill in the SEN
ate because of the fact that the Re-
publican party did not control that
body and cannot during the present
Congress. The element which did con-
troll it, however, saw that public
sentiment was SO strongly in favor of
q protective tariff that a refusal to per-
mitthepassageofa bill with whose SEN
timents they did not fully agree would
be resented by the people. Now there
are indications that the same wise pol
icy will be pursued with reference to
the currency question. President Nc
Kinley's proposition for a retention in
the treasury of the United States
notes which are redeemed in
gold and legislation which will
bring an increase Of national bank
circulation by an increase Of the
sum which they may issue against their
deposit Of bonds is proving extremely
acceptable, and being generally COM
mended, not only by q large majority
Of the members Of Congress, but by
the people throughout the country, as
is shown by the reports received here
by members Of both houses Of Con-
gress. The fact that this proposition
Gems to lay the foundation for an
easy transformation of the currency
system without the shock to the bust
ness world which u sudden change
would produce and without increasing
the interest bearing Indebtedness,
causes it to be very warmly commend
ed by people of both parties. This is so
clearly apparent that there is reason
to hope that the members Of the Sen
ate, who have 1t in their power to de-
feat any legislation offered and sup
ported by the Republican party, will
take the same ground upon this ques-
ton that they did upon that of the
tariff and omit such fractional or ex-
IRENE opposition US to prevent its final
passage.
1t must not be supposed, however,
that this will be done instantly. There
are SO many currency propositions, SO
many men who have plans Of their own
or plans which they have decided to
support that the whole matter will nee
essarily be very thoroughly discussed
before action is taken. But the fact
that the Presidents plan grows more
popular every day as 1t is discussed,
and that 1t appears to be a simple
method of finally taking the Govern
ment out Of the banking business and
permitting the responsibility for main
tanning a sufficient currency and the
gold reserve to pass from its shoulders
to those of the banks of the country,
may lead a sufficient number OF men,
bers Of the Senate who are not within
Republican ranks to support 1t and

subjects have especially attracted the

These subjects are currency reform.
