ALARMED BY AMERICA.
A Pan-EurOpean Organization still
Talked of in Vienna

VIENNA. June 2L-The "Montags Zei-
tung" prints a leading article today under
the caption, Europe and America" in
which the writer dwells upon the new
struggle for economic victories that have
taken the place of military contests.
The writer shares the alarm which has
seized the public men of this and other
European countries. He declares that
Pan-Americanism involves political as
well as economic danger to Europe He
says that even if European Powers sue
ceed in forming a protectionist customs
union their position will be unfavorable,
as the necessity Of importing food stuhs
from America will expose them to the per
manent danger of economic depend cnce
on the transatlantic Continent Never
theless, the writer believes that Pan
Americanism will disappear when Ameri-
ca finds itself in the presence o. a Pan
European organization.
The splendid armaments Of the Cont
mental States will then be Of some value
as afording protection to European in
dustry.

ON A RECRUITING VOYAGE.
The GunbOnt AIvarudo's Peculiar
Mission in Carolina Waters.

The gunboat Alvarado, captured from
Spain at Santiago, has started on a little
mission of an experimental character to
the sounds of North Carolina and South
Carolina. She left Annapolis yesterday
for Norfolk whence she will proceed
through North Carolina by the inland
route. Her object is to enlist fishermen
and other seafaring men in that section
for the naval service.
These people cannot be reached through
the ordinary methods of recruiting. as
they live far from towns and are ignorant
of the advantages offered for service in
the American Navy. So the Alvarado will
he an ftinerant recruiting Office going
wherever the fishermen of the sounds and
the sea islands congTegate, in the hope of
securing good men. The navy needs sea-
men and is making every effort To secure
them.

Character Sculptures of Great Men.

Character Sculptures of Great Wen.
NJ. Rodin, the French sculptor. has
Just completed a statue Of Victor Hugo,
which, somewhat 10 the surprise Of the
public, represents the great French
author in the aspect and costume, or
no-costume, of a Greek god. NJ. Rodin
explains that this character suits the
personality Of Hugo.
It will be remembered that Rodin
followed out much the same theory
when he made his statue Of Baizac,
representing the novelist draped in
some sort Of an Eastern robe. There
is no question that this artist is a
great artist, but his idea Of the proper
way of portraying great men is a lit
tie too French ever to be popular on
this side Of the water. There are some
forms of art suited only 10 the soil Of
France, and especially the studios Of
Paris. America may experiment with
them now and then, toy with them in
thoughtful daIliance, but they do not
thrive in our atmosphere.
1t does not seem quite fair 10 a dead
man to select, without his knowledge
or consent. the character supposed to
be most becoming TO him. 1t was bad
enough when American sculptors in
sisted on making statues Of our great
public men in the guise of Roman SEN
ators. The form of Lincoln was pecu-
liarly unsuited 10 the toga. and that Of
Grant was not much better. The only
garb in which Grant could be pictured
which would really seem suited TO him
would be one in which he could have
cigar in the corner of his mouth, and
nobody ever saw a Roman senator
smoke. Suppose some future sculptor
with a Gallo turn Of mind should make
a statue Of Grant in the costume of a
courtier of the time Of Charles |.
There is no use in trying to argue
| that the classic garb of Greece and
! Rome was fitted to show off the beau
ties of the human frame. and should
| therefore be used on modern statues
| They were; but only when there were
/ beauties to be shown. 1t is not likely
| that the great men OF those countries
were possessed Of Apollo-iike forms.
| but it may be that the fashionable

Coronation Coinage.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The dies for the coronation coinage bav-
ing been approved by the king, are now in
preparation by the authorities of the mint
The exact date of issue cannot at present
be stated. but all the new currency will be
issued before that great ceremony takes
place. One side Of the coins will bear
miniature Of his majesty, devoid of ela5ora-
tion. with inscription; the details of the
reverse are still under consideration for
approval by the king. When the dies are
made and the first coins struck they will
be submitted for his majesty's final ap-
provaL If no alteration Of the designs Is
then commanded, the coinage will be struck
and issued for circulation. Hundreds of
tons of gold and silver will be required for
the new currency. Some idea of the
amount may be conveyed by assuming the
adult population Of the united kingdom to-
be 1900, 900; it would require 200 tons of
gold to coin sovereign for each; similarly
adding half crown. form, shilling, and
sixpenny piece together, and taking the
common weight. 1t would require 900 tons
Of silver ingots to provide each person with
one of these coins. 1t is probable that the
three-penny piece will be retained, but
whether any new coin will be issued to
commemorate the coronation cannot row
be stated.

Georxia's Public Schools.


The public schools receive more extended
attention than any other subject The
governor is much Interested in the schools
and points out how they can be brought to
a higher state of efficiency. Divide the
cost between the state and the county, he
says: require the county to bear a part Of
the burden "F'or the present year." says
the message, I'll counties out Of the 1877
draw out from the treasury for schools and
pensions alone more than they pay In for
all purposes in taxes; six are about self
supporting. while the other twenty not
only support their own schools and pay
their own penss0neEsG but pay all the ex-
penses Of the state Seyernment," including
salaries and the support Of the state fnsh-
tutions It needs ND argument to show
that this is wrong In theory and q gross
Injustice in praetice9a ."The result of this
vicious system,'5 says the governor, "is
that taxpayers in the heavily burdened
counties, smartfng under the injustice,
dodge the tax githerer and attempt by sub
terfuge to equalfze between themselves and
other taxpayers the burden which the law
fails to equalize," The remedy is to re-
ouire each county to provide something for
its own schools before 1t can draw any
thing from the state School fund. We have
many times touched upon this matter. and
agree with the governor on the views he
sets forth In his message.

Insurance on Rulers.

A very large insurance has been effected
at Lloyds' on the life of the king. The in
surance has been taken out by a syndicate
of those people, tradesmen principally. who
would lose large sums OF money II the coro-
nation were not to take place next year:
and the Insurance. is only to cover period
of twelve months from the present date.
The rate of insurance is f10 los. for each
f1OO which seems decidedly high; but then
It must be remembered that Lloyds. unlike
an insurance Office has no means Of arrfv-
ing at the state Of health OF the personages
Il insures. In these insurances it Is the
age Of the parsonage insured rather than
any other consideration which regulates the
premium. Thus the insurance on the life
of the late Queen Victoria at the time OF
her diamond jubilee amounted to Ella per
f1OO of insurance for the year. No insur-
ance has ever been taken out at Iloyds'
on the lives Of the car or the kaiser. But
II IL understood at Loyds' that the figure
at which the lives Of either OF these two
potentates could be insured at the present
moment would be f5 per f100. The few
years Of seniority which the kaiser pos
sesses fs balanced by the greater ''secur-
ity'' of his life. though this is q considera-
tion which LoydS seldom take into ac-

Finance Romance of Egypt.

From the North American Review.
An element Of romance attaches in most
countries to the annals of national debts
in respect Of the struggles and vicissitudes
to which they relate. but in Egypt, a land
where finance spells politics. the story Of
the public debt is pre-eminently romantic.
Recklessly and prodigally contracted. that
debt has for years pressed with crushing
severity upon the docile Egyptian peasan-
try; but the astonishing feature of it's his
tory is that, in the end. out of evil came
good. The public debt, with fits association
of grinding taxation and OF the koorbash,
was destined itself to become the salvation
of the fellaheen. Foreign intervention in
the interest of the creditors brought with
it the foreign control which has secured the
Egyptian peasantry better conditions OF
life than they have enjoyed for centuries,
possibly better conditions for the mass OF
the people than have ever been known on
the Nile Reform In Egypt grew out OF the
necessity of protecting the labor OF the
fellaheen and OF securing them such inn
munity from extortion and mahreatment
that the fruit Of their toll would suffice to
meet the obligations imposed upon them
without their knowledge and without their
assent. And this proposition stands, al
though IL is true that foreign Intervention
Egypt, whereas other countries. 1t is ar
gued. IL placed in similar circumstances
would have repudiated their obligations
and proceeded after long years OF haggling
to some illusory compromise with an exc
hausted creditor. This was not possible In
Egypt: the cause of the foreign creditors
was espoused by the most powerful gov.
ernments Of the old world. and the irress-
tible voice of Europe insisted on full meas
ure being paid.

Gold In Argentina.
From the Buenos Ayres Herald.

We are informed by an expert who has
given four years to gold mining in the
northern part Of this country, after years
Of experience in the work elsewhere, that
there is practically no longer doubt that
gold may be mined here at profit Gold
there is in abundance. but the problem has
been to perfect process that shall make
Its mining profitable. and this appears to
have been reached. If results in practice
prove to be as foreshadowed by laboratory
tests then the success of the venture is
assured. And II 1t be once demonstrated
then are we likely to have q great influx
of fortune seekers, for the yellow metal
has always proven to be drawing card.
