THE officers OF the steamship Airida,
which arrived at New York on the
20Lh from Shanghai and Singapore
have the best snake story yet told to
relate Of their trip over. A python
"a feet long and foot or more in di.
ameter, got out OF his cage and
squirned to the bridge deck. Every
man on the ship took refuge below
aud for time the vessel was in sole
charge Of the reptile. Finally the
captain appeared on deck with an al
and succeeded in killing the snake.

THE railroad lobbyists will probably
be largely in evidence, despite Gov.
McBride's Canute order. They claim
% OF the AZ members already, and
have two more in sight. They expect
to lay the commission bill on the shell,
early in the session, and devote the
remainder OF it to bargain lots on the
counter.

not the incorporation OF such a plank
be just what the Senator so earnestly
deplores? Would it not "obscure the
great creed of the Democratic party,
with irrelevant and unnecessary dec
laratons OF new and false principles,
to attract the support OF political ad.
venturers"?
II seems that the advice of our
Southern brethren, to ensure cOnsid-
Grafton. should be at least reasonable
and consistent, and they should agree
among themselves whether the prun-
ing or the grating process is desirable,
when it comes to reconstructing the
party platform. There is very little
doubt but that a conservative presen-
tation OF ideas from that source, in the
next national convention, will have
great weight in shaping the party pol
icy.
THE versatility of the legal mind
was aptly illustrated at the Republi-
can municipal convention, last even
ing. Mr.. Falknor, when he placed Val.
Mllroy, the present incumbent. in
nomination against w. B. McKenny,
for Clerk, claimed that it was in ac-
cord with Republican usage and disci-
pine to reward an officer who had
served the people reasonably we'll, with
a denomination, and that it had been
the invariable custom to do so in local
party management. His plea won
and his fish" was safely landed by
use of that gaff. Then came the nom-
ination for Treasurer, with Billy Hage-
myer standing with open mouth to
swallow The same endorsement; but
10! and behold, this same fugleman
demonstrated how easy it was for
lawyer to lie on one side as the other,
by advocating Mr.. Wards substitution,
likewise as matter OF party policy
to build up the party by infusion Of
new blood-and like platitudes. An
audible smile passed over the conven-
ton, as the audacity of the party man.
ager became evident. The conven-
ton. however, gulped down the incon-
gruous expressions and swallowed the
fiction, having been wound up to the
Queen OF Spain degree OF machine &C.
tivity by cancus, before the convention
had been called to order.

Our people, it appears, are not the
only ones who are suffering from high
prices. In Germany, beef is retailing
at A cents pound. In Berlin the
city officers have petitioned for an in.
crease OF salary on account OF en-.
HANGED cost OF food. The scarcity is said
to be due mainly to the closed frontiers
and the exclusion of many kinds oil
foreign dressed meats. Horse steaks
have been substituted for beef. but the
price Of equine sirloin has subsided
somewhat, the stomach not taking
kindly to the innovation. The quota.

FURTHER DECLINE OF SrLvER.-A
A New York dispatch Of the Goth says
that further decline in the price Of
silver has created CONSERVATION in
banking circles, and cauess much un-
easiness among exporters and mer.
chants of this country doing business
with China and other points in the
Far East. This decline il attributed
to the Siamese governments instruc-
tions to the mint to cease coinage OF
silver. Our people can hardly com.
plain, however, when this government
did its share towards depressing the
white metal, by depriving it of ita
proper function Of redemption money.

Can Such Things Bep

A Philadelphia dispatch of the Goth
inst, states that positive evidence has
been obtained Of the existence OF a
syndicate, with headquarters in Ger
many, whose business it is to supply
young girls for immoral purposes
to patrons in this country. The
evidence was obtained by raid
upon disreputable houses, by request
of the German Consul, upon advice
and instructions received from the
German Ambassador at Washington.
Rabbi Kranskopf, and other we'll.
known Jews, took part in the investi-
cation, the story first being that only
Jewish girls had been decoyed to this
country. The evidence showed, how.
ever, that French, Italian, and girls of
other nationalities, had become victims
to this organized conspiracy for trad
ing in human flesh, and that many
women were brought over TO supply
the brisk demand, selling at from $40
to $40 apiece. The examination de-
veloped the fact that the trade draws
its supply from all Europe, with
branches in most OF the continental
cities. The principal markets in this
country are New York, Philadelphia
and Chicago. with branches in the
smaller cities.
Five men are said to be at the head
OF the syndicate here, three OF whom
are 10 custody. A man named Halle,
in Germany, is shown to be at the
head of the system of traffic, and his
shipments are made to conform to the
demand, as sent in by his confederates,
the same as merchanable commodities.
The details of this horrible traffic
has aroused sensation in the East,
and organized effort is being made to
punish the offenders and bring the
fearful debauchery to a close.

1t may be after all, as Toots would

seems little strange, nevertheless
that a newspaper forty-three years oil

iron, and that too with reference to
its age. When we consider, however
that newspapers, like individuals, pay
less attention to birthdays as they
grow in years, it affords grounds for a

THE UNITED STATES MINTs.-The
number OF pieces coined at the U. S.
mints this year is 19l ,414, 500, which
has never been excelled, but the value
has fallen from $136, $40, 7Sl, in 1901,
to 1914, 246.67S, this year, owing to the
greater demand for small denomina-
tions. Gold coinage dropped from
$99,065,715 to SCI ,9S0.572, but the
gold bullion has largely increased.
The coinage of silver dollars amounted
to SIS, 4O2, 500, subsidiary coins to $10,-
IL, $3.50, and minor coins to 81, 429, 1856.
Director Roberts recommends that
coinage operations be discontinued in
New Orleans at the close of the cur
rent fiscal year, and that so much oil
its machinery as is in good condition
be transferred to the new Denver mint.

cause assigned by the physician.
