ENGLAND's NEW COINAGE.
Considerations Which Govern the Is
sue of Designs for the Reign of
Edward.
From the London Mail.

Edward.
From the London Mail.
In due and appointed season, as already
stated in the Daily Mail. the well-known
coinage of her late Majesty Queen Vic
toria viii give place to new series of
designs.
Gold coins are Withdrawn from the cir
culation in the natural course of events,
according to certain m Mt regula ions ir-
respective of any alteration in the reign.
This is due to the fact that light coins
are never reissued. Consequently, it is
bp the rarest chance that one ever comes
across any sovereigns or nalf-sovereigns
of an earlier reign than Queen Victoria.
Occasionally, however, one does see
them, but the rare specimens to be met
with are coins which have been in some
way boarded and kept out of regular cir
culation They are never reissued once
they reach the clutches of the mint.
The silver and copper coinage is not
withdrawn in this way. 1t never is
equivalent intrinsicaly to its face value,
and consequently is allowed to wear it
self out until useless for the purposes of
circulation. Consequently, in the silver
coins which one meets W tn every day
are to be found coins of George " and
William ", and also of the two obsolete
heads of Queen Victoria. In fact, there
are as many coins of obsolete form still
in circulation as of the latest issue. Sill
yer coinage, when defaced and useless,
is remeted, but what happens to the cop
per coinage to render the constant issue
of new coins a necessity is a mystery.
| The design upon the side of coin bear
ing the head of the sovereign is gov
erned by certain rules. Upon the reverse
| it will be a matter of the personal taste
i of His Majesty, to whom the proposed
designs are submitted, and with whom
| personally the final selection rests. With
regard to the head His Majesty's per-
i sonal taste will decide upon the design,
! and also whether the crown is to be
! shown or not. But the head must be in
profile. The reason of this is that the
! head must look to right and left in al
F., ternate reigns. George III looked to the
; right, George w to the left. William
NV to the right, and Queen Victoria to
the left. Consequently Edward VII will
look to the right.
If one of the earlier Victorian pennies,
of which there are still many in circula-
ton. be closely looked at it will be no
ticed that the hair is crossed by wreath
of laurel tied at the back of the head by
a ribbon. How many people know the
meaning of this? 1t is found on the coins
OF George III and George ", but not on
those of William w, but it reappears upon
most of those of Queen Victoria until
the introduction of the veil and crown
upon the 1887 jubilee coins. There is really
no compulsion as to its appearance, but
| there are circumstances where its use
is denied. 1t is the laurel wreath oil
victory, and it is never supposed to be
placed upon the head of a sovereign
until some signal victory has occurred
during his reign.

COUNTY POLITICS BOOMING.
Mig Screven Rally Tomorrow Night
and Then United Club Meeting.

The political campaign for the county
election has already opened, and there
will be many ward meetings in the in
terest of the candidates for ordinary ana
tax collector before the contest next
month The supporters of Maj. Thomas
Screven, candidate for ordinary, will hold
a big rally in Masonic Hall tomorrow
night, and the first gun of the campaign
will be fred then. Invitations We're sent
out last night, and il is expected that
the meeting will be largely attended. a
programme has not yet been arranged,
but il is probable that several speeches
will be made JRhee call names the hour

The United Club will hold a rally
Thursday night, probably in the Metro
politan Hall Mr.. Thomas II. Mcmillan
has been decided upon by the Executive
Committee for the Office of president of
the new political body. and has accepted
the tender. He will probably preside at
the meeting Thursday night and will
most likely address the club "a that time.
1t is not known who the permanent secre-
taTy will be, but il is thought Mr.. Lee

present secretary of the organization.

aud candidates for ordinary and tax col
lector will probably be Endorsed.
1t was reported on the streets yester-
day that Mr.. j. S. Collins might be can
didate for tax collector against Mr.. David
Wells, but the rumor could not be veri-
fed. 1t was said that the United Club
might indorse Mr.. Keilbach for ordinary
and Mr.. Collins for tax collector, and this
appeared 20 be the opinion of those not
connected with the club. Capt. Henry
McAlpn's friends say that he is in the
race for ordinary, and none of the other
candidates has announced his intention of
Withdrawing. Mr.. Wells will be a candle
date for tax collector, and In the event
that the United Club indorses Keifbach
and Collins, he will probably form an al
lance with Maj. Screveu, If such is not
already the case.
The ward clubs will also begin 10 hold
nightly meetings. and Screven organiza-
ton of Southsiders will be formed to-
night. The meeting will be held in Kiser's
Hall at 1911 Bull street. Another Screven
club will be formed on the Eastside later
in the week. and ward clubs for the other
candidates are already being organized.

THE TRAMWAY DEFEAT.

The Advertiser congratulates the
Legislature on turning down the Tram
ways franchise bill. That unpopular
measure was put on the table and it Is
doubtful II any self-respecting member
will move to take ii off or will offer a
substitute. The smell of the bill is very
rank and those who handled II must
carry away some OF the odor. Aside
from the iniquity in it and back of It,.
the measure could not become a law
without the assistance of Congress, and
so the Legislators, in passing it, would
have had their labor and their smells
for their pains. Congress, In the teeth
of the inevitable Honolulu protest
would have turned the franchise down
with a slam.
The Legislature is right in thinking
at il apparently does. that the city has
had enough of this Tramway corpora
ton and is disposed not to complicate
the efforts now being made by the Ter
ritorial Government to get rid of it. If
Honolulu is to have modern systems of
transit, covering all the principal
streets and reaching suburban points
of vantage, 1t will get 1t the sooner by
Kidding itself of the offensive Tram
system which the foreign owners have
compelled the city, much against its
Will, to endure for many years.

DlSPENSARY QUERIES.

What is best from the point of view
of peace and order-a few high priced
centralized saloons under the eye of the
police or family supply of cheap
liquor in every shack in the suburbs
which the police cannot watch?
II ii is morally wrong for the Gov
eminent to license saloons and get a
small revenue from them Is il morally
right to set up a Dispensary FOR the
sake OF large revenue?
Does the cheapening Of the price OF
liquor and the improvement OF It's
quality tend toward more moderate
use OF alcoholic stimulants and increase
the chances of getting drunkards or oc-
casional consumers OF liquor to alb
stain?
Is treating in saloons al nifty cents
for two small drinks likely TO cause a.
much drunkenness as treating in pri-
Vate houses or on back streets from A
quart bottle costing the same amount?
VIII treating decline in proportion AS
the opportunity to treat" at small cost
and In greater volume is increased?
The Advertiser does not ask these
questions to indicate that 1t opposes the
Dtspensary bill. 1t is ready to support
that measure ii 1t can be convinced that
by doing so il would contribute to the.
moral well-beinG OF the community.

AGRICULTURAL APATHY.

/ I, liz to be regretted that the attempt
to get meeting Of those Interested in
the project OF Territorial Fair should
have resulted in so small "A gathering as
I met in the High school last evening.
Perhaps a mistake prevented the at
tendance of some who are really inter
ested In the matter. The object is GER
tainly worthy of serious interest
A well planned and well gotten up
Territorial Fair would do much to pro-
mote diversified agriculture, Of which
we have heard so much during the last
few years II would show the small
farmer what is practicable for him to
plant, and II would show the Honolulu
consumer his source of supply. II 1t
should result in produce exchange in
Honolulu, It would in a short time ma
terially reduce the percentage OF our
Imports from the Coast. At present II
is an undisputed fact that much Is i'm
ported which would better be produced
right here. This applies to many kinds
of vegetables, to a number Of fruits
especially citrus fruits. and to dairy
products II the producers in these
lines could meet anu compare results
in the way of an exhibit, and II they
could at the same time meet the con
sumner at the exhibit, the result could
hardly fail to be an impetus to diversi-
fled agriculture.
II the fair should result in perma
nent exhibit of varied products of the
Islands 1t would contribute to an intel
igent appreciation of the possibilities
IF the country on the part of the in
ending small farmer.
1t is understood that another meet
ng for the same purpose will be called
soon and it is to be hoped that our
citizens will turn out and
give the enterprise assurance of sue
,ess.
