JAMES Younger, the noted outlaw
who had been released, year or more
ago from the Minnesota State prison,
on parole, after 25 years confinement,
put an end to his life by pistol shot,
at st. Paul, Sunday morning. An ef-
fort had been made for q full pardon,
based upon the fact that Younger had
won the affections Of q young lady,
and the obstacle was presented that a
paroled prisoner, still being a convict,
could not contract a legal marriage.
The effort failed. and this, it is thought,
had much to do with the late tragedy.

A SUGGESTION THAT Is VERY HING
LIsH, IE KNow.-The London Chron-
icle lately published rumor that a
movement Is under foot to make Pres
iIent Roosevelt Colonel in a Brit
ish regiment. The poor taste and
absurdity OF such decoration"
is not the less apparent because
colleges, which of all other classes
of life, should know better, have con-
ferred degrees upon Teddy, Cleveland,
Mark Twain" and others, simply in
the exuberance of admiration for some
personal trait, instead OF some indica-
ton OF mental supremacy or special
achievement for enlightenment of
mankind. The idea that the Presi-
dent of great government like ours
accepting subordinate position under
any monarchy is SO repugnant to re-
publican ideas as to merit contempt,
and for Americans to be party to
aping royalty in matters OF social rec
ognition seems so ridiculous that it is
hoped the matter will be at once
dropped, although King Edward and
the Gear of Russia may be Colonies"
in Berlin, and Emperor William wear
the same rank in St. Petersburg. Such
q swap of jack-knives may do to amuse
royalty, but our Chief Magistrate has
no "Barlow" to trade with such
naughty nabobs.

LOW PRICE NOR SILVER
It Sells in London at the Lowest
Figure in the History of
the Metal.

New York, Nov. 1.--Bar silver in Lon
don has sold at 20 s16d per ounce, the
lowest price In the history of the metal.
For several days past, says the Journai OF
Commerce, the quotation had been hang
ing around % 5-16@23asd The quotation
of % 5-16 was established on May of this
year, but from that point there was
moderate recovery, the quotation touching
"a 9-16d on July 10. The quotation then
remained at fractions above 24d until
Sept. 6, when it fell to 237s, since when IT
has been gradually sagging. The princi-
pal explanation, for the current low price
of the metal Is apparently to be found
in the causes which have been steadily
forcing the quotation down. for several
years. Chief among these Is the payment
Of the heavy Chinese indemnity incurred
by China in the recent Chinese Boxer dis
turbances This indemnity Is collected
in silver and deposited with the large
banks which act as fiscal agents in China
of the various governments to which the
indemnity is to be paid. These banks
have little opportunity to ship the metal,
but instead remit through the foreign ex-
change market, selling, their silver in
China. If commercial f. conditions In
China We're better It, would seem that
| this accumulation Of silver could be again
distributed throughout the country. The
demand on the continent for mintage pur-
poses also has fallen off perceptibly. Local
| members Of the silver trade ascribe the
decline In the metal to this shrinkage in
demand and not to any increase In pro-
| duction. Indeed, 1t is claimed that the
| worlds production of silver this year has
considerably decreased. Exports Of the
metal from New York. which handles a
large part Of the export business, have
shown q heavy decrease, amounting tc
over s10,000,000. Imports at the. same
time have decreased from about So, 240, ,00(
up to this date last year to $970,000 from
Jan. to Oct. 20 of this year.
