A high state of public feeling in japan

London, Jan. The report of the death
OF Prince Bismarck originated in the cis-
match to The Evening News. t was taken
up by some of the other afternoon papers,
which filled their contents bills with the
news. This caused an immediate sensation
and newsboys were on the streets until
miinight caIiine oJt the death OF the bid
chancellor, Telegraphic Inquiries at rr,s'i-
richsruhe, Prince BsmarCk's residence, were
unanswered for hours, owing to the fact
that IL was I; holiday, and the report came
to be widely believed.
At the clubs. however, il was gradually
iiscreditcti, as no confirmation was re-
ceived. During the evening dsspa Oh
was received from Hamburg absolutely &c
nying The report, and adding that Prime
Bismarck was slowly recovering from mis-
Illness The dispatch also said hat Count
william Bismarck and his wife were spend
ing New Years Day at Friedrichsrahe.
The other day Prince Bismarck repr ED
the scIniufficiaI papers for denying that
he was ILL saying:
LAS Though there was anything 20 ne
ashamed of in being i'll wien man is

This coumun-sense utterance shows that
the prince ret; ins his intellect, though in
reports tie contrary has been suggested.

richsruhe, after his visit To Kiel, wharc he
went t. bid atlieu to Prince Henry oil P.us-

China. il has been learned that Prince lis

As Spon as the semi-ufficial paperslearncd
this they stated that the conveTS atlol BE-

OUR MONEY DISCOUNTED.

The contention of our gold standard
friends for several years past has been
that we must have money that is
''good the world over" "money that
anybody would take" ''money that
was good as gold wherever presented"
And that such a money shall exist,
they insisted that the gold standard
should prevail. Their argument was
that so long as we were on gold
standard, our gold, our paper and our
"despiaed silver" would be good for its
face value wherever it might be pre-
sented. But alas! this has not proved
true. The degenerate Spanish trades
men in Santiago, according to the dis
patches, refuses to take our silver at
par value Even the Sl00, ,00O,O 900 gold
,eserve back of our fiat money" does
not make it good to him. He knows
the United States is gold standard
country, and he wants gold just the
same as the Wall street broker. He
has been educated by our Learned
financiers" to believe that silver is not
good money: that it is worth only so
cents on the dollar; that the only
sgood money" is gold.
This is an example of what our
"financiers" have accomplished.
They have taught the world that there
is no money but gold, and when they
90 to settle their accounts abroad they
will learn that not only the Ignorant
Spaniard" but the tradesmen of the
world will insist on payment being
made in gold. They will argue that if
silver is not good enough for the
American bondholder and that he will
not accept it in payment for his inter-
est or mis- paper currency, it is not
good enough for them. Whenever our
own people discredit any form of our
circulating medium, they must expect
the world to do likewise. For years
our gold standard friends have argued
that silver is not money, and now they
ere getting an ocular demonstration
of the fact that their preaching has
born fruit. Silver has been denounced
as thief and the Spanish merchants
at Santiago have been made to believe
that these denunciations are true.
The gold standard advocate has sown
in whirlwind and now he is reaping
his harvest Let him keep on in his
mad career and the result will be that
no American money except gold
will be accepted abroad. A gold
reserve will not be able to keep at par
the reputation of any money that is
being constantly denounced by those
who are most familiar with its value,
those who use it every day.

happy. They elected house Of
assembly, or island parliament, organ.
lied two parties and plunged into
politics with reckless ambition. They
had politics enough for an empire. and
go they appealed to the British col
onial Office from time to time to
arbitrate their differances. they gave
the home government more trouble
than any other cornor of the queens
empire. At least. Secretary Joseph
Chamberlain thought 80, for when the
sugar planters of Dominica recently
renewed their applications fora boun-
ty or some other kind of subsidy to
assist them in competing with the
beet sugar-growers of Germany,
Cham berlain struck bargain with
them. He told the Dominicans that he
would extend imperial assistance to
them upon one condition that they
give up their self-goyerning charter
and become crown colony. This
they agreed to do, or. rather the ma
iority party voted in favor of it, while
the minority called for the transfer OF
the island to the United States.
Thus these people have sold their lib
critics, and in the future will be gov
erned by the nabobs of London. with
out voice in local affairs.
