aIr. Henderson,s BIunder.

Some OF the press comments upon
Speaker Henderson's formal proclama-
ton that we are sure of England's
friendship and support have been very
severe, but none too much so; for Il Ger
tainly was one Of the siIliest and most
nI-advised things ever said by an
American Of prominence travelling in
foreign lands. The New York World
suggests shat Mr. Henderson must
have had a royal sunstroke-" Be that
as it may, something must have hap
pered which had the effect Of binding
him to the difference between the pro-
prieties and inaproprieties Of speech. as
well as to the step" which divides the
sublime from the ridiculous in public
affairs.
4IT. Henderson was born in Scotland
q land almost proyerbial for its love of
royalty; but as he was a very small boy
when he left the land Of his nativity, It
is possible that he had never enjoyed
the unspeakabIe honor OF even seeing
a British monarch at a distance until
he was received as an American citizen
by Edward VII Naturally enough. the
occasion seemed TO be one Of no incon-
siderable Importance 10 the Iowa
statesman. In fact. it appears TO have
turned MS head completely for the time
being. Scarcely had he been dismissed
from the royal presence when he
rushed into print 10 let the great Amer

tory meeting either, but it was one in

to his imperial bosom and gushed-
Britain's sovereign was not content
merely to express q kindly and digni-
fed regard for the United States, as
friendly power. but he practically
served notice upon all other nations
that they must keep their hostile hands
off the American Republic. or they
would have TO fight England.
Perhaps the King said something that
could be fairly interpreted this way;
perhaps he did not The chances are

Circulation Statement,
The American Army.

Americans naturally feel pleased
when a foreigner of the standing OF
Lord WoIseley praises the Army Of the
Republic and declares it TO be the best
in the world for its size. We have been
inclined to that opinion ourselves, and
II is gratifying TO have q confrmatio
in the views of an eminent general of
the British army. It is not SO sure,
though, that he is right in the reason
which he assigns for the superiority Of
the American Army, which is that good
material is attracted by the high wages
paid. Possibly the rate of compensa-
ton may have some effect, but almost
certainly it is not the sole cause, if, in
deed, it is in any way potent
The small size of our army is in itself
g most excellent reason why it nat
uraIly should be composed Of good ma
teriaI 1t enables the Government to ex-
ercise the greatest care in the selection
OF the men, which generally is done. in
q country like the United States, with
nearly eighty millions Of people, it is an
easy matter To enlist fifty or sixty thou
sand soldiers of the very highest type
if care Is taken in the work
But there are other things besides the
mere physique of the soldiers that en-
ter into and contribute to the high eff
cheney of an army The moral and
mental caIibre of the men is also a mat
ter of prime Importance. In this re
spect the American Army has always
ranked high, whether il has been nu-
mericalIy great or small. How much
the mUnihcent stipend of thirteen dol
lars a month may have contributed to
this end. it Is, of course, impossible TO
determine. Such a compensation seems
large in England, but it Is small in this
country. With business conditions fair
Iy good, there are few men who cannot
earn more than that in civil life. Still.
It must be admitted that many men viii
enlist for thirteen dollars a month who
would not do 50 for five dollars. and
hence the pay must be considered some
thing Of a factor in elevating the per
sOnaI standard Of the army's rank and
file So far as mere courage IS con-
cerned, the British army has always
been considered q good one, and even
in its unfortunate South African cam
paigns II has shown no lack of grit It's
organization and training seem TO have
been very unsuitable for the work in
hand In these respects the American
Army probably is greatly superior,
though far from being perfect It has
been remarked that in the American
Army the individuality Of the private
soldier is the most distinctly marked
feature, and IL may be that il is the
main cause Of the superiority to which
Lord Wolseley refers; but it would
seem that thirteen dollars a month can
play but a small part in the develop
ment Of this individuality. 1t is likely
that racial characteristics and the
modes OF life which prevail in this
country have much to do with il

MExIco's FINANCIAL STATE.
The StrIneency Due to the Heavy
Expectation of Silver Coin.


Philip c. Hanna. the United States
Consul General at Monterey, Mexico, in
forms The State Department that the
stringency in the money market Of Next
co for the past several months had IN
doubtedIy been caused by the heavy ex-
portatIOn of Mexican silver coin AIr.
Hanna says: Many of the banks felt
the effect. and it was difficult to obtain
loans from Mexican banks on any sort of
security. The situation nosE appears
greatly relieved and the money market
here Is easier. I am Of the opinion that
the opening up of the great refinery at
Monterey has had much to do with the
present condition Of anairs- Before the
completion of the refinery, all of the sill
yer bullion from the Monterey smeltsrs
was shipped to the United States TO be
refined and but little of it returned; but
since the Monterey refinery has been
erected. the Mexican minis have renewed
their activity and none of the refined sill
yer has been shipped out of this country.
THE entire product Of one of the large
smelters here, which formerly sent its bull
lion to the United States, is now refined
in Monterey and turned over to the mint
in this country. / also note that refined
silver from Omaha is being shipped into
Mexico for the use of the minis. For
some time, the scarcity Of silver caused
an Increase in the market price of Mexi-
can silver coin. Now that the demand is
being better supplied, the price of the
