All this applies in much less degree

the output of the mines. which is given
at two hundred and fifty-seven millions.
But for the previous year the differ
ence was still greater, the coinage be-
ing four hundred and siXty-six millions
against production of three hundred
and six millions, the excess of coinage
over production being a hundred and
sixty millions. The shrinkage of both
coinage and production is mainly owing
to the closing of the Rand mines by the
Boer war. This has materially affect
ed the worlds finances. and. of course,
il has had some bearing upon the ques-
ton of coinage.
1t is a curious circumstance that the
coinage of silver increased, while that

States. owing. it is said. to the de-
mands for retail trade. The recoinage
of silver is much less than that of gold

The official announcement that Cap
tain Crowninshield is to be detached
from the Bureau of Navigation and
assigned to the European Station,
on his attainment of the perma-
ment grade of rear admiral. will not
fail to shock the country 1t is re-
ward for his antics in his present posi-
ton. for his vicious persecution of Ad-
miral Schley. and for all the abomi-
nabie abuses, if not corruptions. that
have marked his administration of the
Navigation Bureau for the past four
years. His dismissal from that assign
ment, If taken alone, would be enthu-
siastically endorsed by the public; but
when it is coupled with an announce
ment that he is to be honored and
given the most desirable position in the
service in present circumstances ii will
be universally regarded as a national
outrage.
Crowninshield. indeed, should be put
out of the Bureau of Navigation, but
he should at least be kept on waiting
orders until he reaches the retiring
age, and as a matter of justice that
would-be beyond his merits. Instead of
that, if the Long programme can be
carried out, he will be assigned to a
station, which, it is true has amounted

The Egot.sm of Genius.

A writer in the London Spectator
thinks that there is no truth in the idea
that real genius makes a man modest
He says that most geniuses are fncer-
rigible egotists. and gives examples to
prove it.
1t might not be possible to make any
broad statements on this subject with
out considerably more knowledge of it
than most people have. but one can
easily see that there are many reasons
why a man Of unusual powers should
seem egotistical. whether he is or not.
II is quite probable that many social
ed conceited speeches credited to great
men were due, not to the desire to i'm
press other people with their greatness.
but to absolute unconsciousness Of the
fleet produced Again. when mans
characteristics are all seen through a
distorting glass CT envy and dislike, it
is not hard to give TO his most innocent
utterances a tone which they were not
intended to have.
Take. for example. the question which
every man of prominence has to lace.
that of mingling or not mingling with
the public. II he is shy OF reserved, and
does not care FOR general society, pre-
ferring to be at home with his family
and a few chosen friends, he offends
dozens of people who consider them
selves quite good enough to share his
company If. on the other hand. he is
fond of society. he exposes himself to
misconsruction every tirle he gives
fp,n
subject. The theory that a man is al
ways spoiled by success is fitted on to
every successful man by somebody,
sooner or later whether he is really
spoiled or not. He may wish from the
bottom of his heart that he could go
on writing in peace, as private citi-
zen, and be let alone, but In nine cases
out of ten he will be given no credit for
such a feeling. Those who are them
selves anxious to push their way into
society for which they are not fitted are
unable 10 understand that this inn
pulse is not common TO all mankind,
and that man may not care for social
distinction even IL he is quite worthy
of H.
Again, when a man OF unusual abili-
ty knows that he has done good work,
when, as must often happen, he knows
that nobody else is doing work as good
as his, in his line, is it conceit for him
to recognize the fact, so long as he
does not obtrusively proclaim it? Is it
to be supposed that Shakespeare would
have been any greater man, or of any
more use to the world. If he had self
distrustfully hidden himself and his
plays in Suatford-on-Avon. and honest
ly believed that his dramas were not
good enough TO be produced? When a
man of genius writes fine poem. or
composes sonata. or successfully com
pletes difficult feat OF diplomacy. is
he to be denied the small satisfaction
of knowing that he has accomplished
something? Not infrequently he re-
alizes that his achievement falls far
short OF the aim on which he has set
