TIE QUESTION or IMMORTALITY.

The Silver Dollar Problem.

The newspaper editors, the politicians,
and the bankers. who demand the passage
by Congress next winter of an act declaring
that the obligations" Of the Government
shall be payable In gold and gold only, will
find out pretty soon, II they have not done
30 already. that compliance with their
demand Is not so simple and easy matter
as they supposed 1t was but that it involves
the solution OF a difficult problem, the
details Of which they. hitherto, have not
taken into consideration.
By the obligations" which they want
to have declared payable in gold only, they
apparently understand only the bonded
debt and legal tender notes OF the Govern
ment; but the word, etymologically and
legally. Is far more comprehensive. II en-
braces all debts due from the Government
to its creditors. and any bill, therefore,
which should attempt to effect the purpose
desired. would have to specify distinctly
the obligations to which it was limited.
The moment the limitation came up
for debate In Congress, the objection
would be made to 1t, that It created an I'M
Just discrimination between classes Of cred
itors and for that reason 1t would be sure
to be rejected. II, In addition, it should be
proposed to make the notes Of the national
banks also redeemable in gold only, an
amendment would at once be offered and
adopted, putting bank deposits In the same
category, on the ground that bank note
holders are not entitled to a preference
over other bank creditors; and then the
whole provision would be voted down.
What the advocates Of the new act most
desire, however is to take away from the
Secretary OF the Treasury the option which
he now has OF paying in standard silver
dollars the interest on the public debt, and
of redeeming the Government notes in
the same kind OF money. To effectuate
this result the act will have to
be plain and explicit. No doubtful
language will suffice 1t must be
distinctly declared that, although the
silver dollars are a legal tender to the Gov
erment. and between private citizens,
they shall not be a legal tender from the
Government to particular class OF its
creditors. That such n provision would
arouse fatal opposition is certain. 1t
would amount to partial reputation Of n
currency for which the Government has
received full value in gold
Furthermore, II the silver dollars are
thus to be partially repudiated, they must

The Democrat and the Mestizos.

The Massachusetts, Aguinaldians Of the
Mugwump school have been trying to per-
suade the Bay State Bryanites that anti

shuddered with more emotion at silver
than even the Hon. GEORGE FRED WILL

Anglpphobia in France.

In striking article contributed to the
September number Of the London National
Rerteu, M. URBAN GoHIER, author Of
"rArmfe contre Ia Nation" undertakes to
prove that the persistent attempt made by
Germany during the last fifteen years to
effect a reconciliation with France has been
hy no means unsuccessful. He points out
that her skilful and persevering props-
ganda has appreciably modified French
opinion. but he also shows that the modi-
ilcation has taken the indirect form Of
nntipathy to England rather than the
direct form OF attachment to Germany.
According to NJ. GoHIER, his country
men have strong prudential reasons for
preferring to cultivate Anglophobia rather
than to keep alive a passionate enmity to
Germany. Intelligent Frenchmen know
that they have cause to dread a conflict
with the German Empire. Their numerical
nferiorty to the Germans necessarily in.
wolves military inferiorty which increases
every year, while the anarchy in the two ad.
ministrative departments concerned with
the national defence and the waste OF
the immense resources lavished during
the last thirty years on the War Office
and the Ministry OF Marine render the
community exceedingly apprehensive as to
the efficiency OF the army and navy. DE
ceived in the most odious manner by the
military chiefs Of 1870, France has," NJ.
GoHIER says, "a presentiment that she
would be similarly cheated by her present
chiefs, who are either sunk in carelessness
or plunged in intrigue and conspiracy" He
finds the chaotic state Of the military adj
ministration exemplifled in Tonquin and in
Madagascar where incapacity on the part OF
Generals was responsible for a sacrifice OF
men and money out of all proportion to the
results The mental and moral condition
Of the Army has been disclosed during the
developments of the Dreyfus affair.
Nor is 1t only because they distrust the
competence OF their Generals that the
Frenchmen OF the middle classes who
create public opinion, dread war with the
German Empire, and would like to see the
national jnRoism take another direction.
There is a still more potent factor for the
decay OF the passion for " La Reranche." In
the event Of war with Germany, compul-
sorry military service would summon to the
.ontier all sound men between the ages Of
twenty and forty-tive. The knowledge
Of this fact has abated the ardor of the
governing classcs-that Is to saw. Of

but, since it has been realized that mobillza-

classes have become pacific. They will only
tolerate colonial expeditions, from which
their sons, who get OFF with years ser.

consume the men drafted for three
