JUDGE FITZ-
GERALD'S BOOK
His Thirty Years War on
Silver" as Viewed by the
New York American

The following review Of Judge Fitz-
gerald's book on the silver question is
taken from the New York American
of November 7. The article Is ac-
companied by a portrait Of the author.
1t says:
This remarkable volume is an ex-
haustive treatise on money. scientifi-
cally treated and logically presented by
the famous justice Of the Supreme
Court Of Nevada. Judge A. L. Fitz-
gerald. who is recognized throughout
the whole country as an able authority
on the money question. This valuable
work comprises some $50 pages. pre-
senting an original view of this i'm
portant question and so comprehensive
ly has this been disclosed that We are
of the opinion that this work should
have been entitled The Economics,
Law and Craftsmanship Of Money"
as this title would be a correct index
of the contents.
Jndge Fitzgerald's book is divided
into three parts. Part one asks and
answers the question. What is money!
Meaning what is money in any land
and country at any time. In the first
chapter of part one are found numer-
Gus quotations from the best political
economists and authorities extant.
The subsequent chapters of this part
are devoted by the author to proving
with true logic and appreciated &C
curacy that these quoted definitions
cannot be true as these quoted authori-
ties do not distinguish money from any
commodity. This. he claims, devel-
opes their definitions Of money In fog.

any obligation, whether the creditor or
the cbllgee Is willing or unwilling 1t
should pay or discharge it." After
discussing this definition and The effect
of the laws upon it, the author goes On
to point out the important results of the
application of this solution to the pres
ent financial and monetary system In
this country In a real and apparent
measu.e of value. 1t is the wide diff
ference between these wide measures
Of value. that is. the author asserts,
the chief cause of the financial trouble
now impending over the country as M.
Shaw, the Secretary Of the Treasury,
prophesied last fAll. would be the case.
The second part Of this work is de-
voted to propoundlng and answering the
question, "What is money in the Unit
ed States1" 1t demonstrates clearly
that money is fixed clearly in our Cor
stitution in gold and silver coin only,
that the act Of Congress "monetizing
the greenbacks" (viz: giving them the
quality of tender. 10Y almost unlver-
sally. although tautologically, called
illegal tender'') is a plain. clear. palpa-
Bile, unmistakable, usurpation of power
by that branch of the Government; and
that the act Of Congress demonetizing
the silver coin of this country. was an
other plain, u~nmistabable usurpation Of
power by that body. Judge Fitzgerald
does not lose sight OF the second de-
cision Of the Supreme Court over-rul-
ing the first OIL this subject unfolding
Congress. This "~greenback' enact
ment, he declares, violates the Con-
stitution and cannot be a law of the
United States. In making this point
clear the author has found it necessary
to give a comprehensive dissertation Of
the Mature Of Government in General,
and the Mature OF the Government of
the United States in particular" 1t
is asserted that for forty years the
Congresses have failed to grasp the
true, scientific definition Of money en-
bodied In the Constitution; that this
same body has abdicated the powers
which are rightly theirs. and usurped
powers to which they have no constitu-
tioual right. To these reasons the
author attributes all the monetary
troubles and their attending evils, which
he declares, can only be remedied by
Congress. which either fails to see its
duty or for reasons unknown refuses to
take action in the matter.

Only few short years ago Spain was at war with the United States and was getting decidedly the worst of it. Now the United States Minister at Madrid notifies the State department that the Spanish government has formally &C., cepted the invitation to participate in the St. Louis Exposition, and will ask the Cortes to make a liberal appropria- tion.
 Good will and good work. It is pleas ant to know that the war and it's result didn't make Spain hate us long. It is to be hoped that Spain will make fine showing at St, Louis and get much good out of 1t. It will certainly be a very in- teresting part of the exhibition to the people of the United States, and the spaniards who may come here next year will be most heartily welcome. We have really done Spain a good turn in relieving her of some of her persist ent troubles, and though no country likes to be defeated in war Spain can justly feel that she has compensations.

 Tt is needless to say that these organ ization is to great extent the public prosecutor as well as the police sys-' tenn of the sea. It is largely owing to the relentlessness of Lloyds in dealing with wrongdoers that many old forms of piracy and sea knayerY have come to an end. Marine underwriters of a hundred years ago would indeed be amazed at the enormous reduction which has taken place in insurance rates. The price of gold bullion between Lon don and New York is only 9 cents net per 100 pounds, and this covers not only the risks of the transatlantic voyage, but transit from the London house to the liner and from the liner to the consignee in New York, thousands of miles away."-Public Opinion. .

WIDE+ 4 WAKE

Westward the star of church adver- Using takes its way, and 1t is now shin iT g the brightest over San Jose, Califor- mia. This is the notice the pastor of Presbyterian church there published on a recent Monday: Found Asleep-So you slept in church yesterday, did you? We'll it was rather a. drowsy day, but if you had been at the Second Pres byterian church you wouldn't have dozed. The pastor preached two earn est, enthusiastic sermons and the music was alive and inspiring. Mrs. Hillman Smith sang that old favorite, "The Holy City, to the enjoyment of all. and the chorus choir rendered two anthems. The congregation was nearly as large as the church itself. An oldtimer there looked around and remarked to a bystander. Well, declare. I thought knew every one who came to this church, but the last Few weeks don't seem to know more than half Of them''
 Delicate work this. The hint that there is sleeping in other churches than the Second Presbyterian will be appreciated by the pastors of the other churches. The use of an 'oldtimer' to indicate the rapid growth of a wakeful audience in the Second Presbyterian is as ingenious as it is effective. If the ministers of the other churches in San Jose attempt to compete in advertising with the Second Presbyterian man there will be lively times there, and for awhile all the congregations may man. age to keep awake.

DRY ON 9HE CO4NT.

There was a time when it was wet on the coast. So wet that it almost seemed as if the dividing line between sea and land was about to be drowned, and as if the Rubber trust couldn't possibly pass dividends. Now it is so dry on the coast that the pious are praying for rain and the inpious are swearing because of the lack of it. No rain falls on either the just or the un- just. The days are continuously and persistently golden. and the nights con- tinuously and consistently silver. We have the glorious California climate on the Connecticut coast, but it makes us unhappy, for we canot live on cli- mate, but must have our peas, beans, etc., etc.
 Can it be that the rain has caught the prevalent infection and gone on strike? If it doesn't come down soon there will be great inconvenience and loss. 1t might do us good to be re- minded that we are not as big as we feel, and that in spite of our ancestry and our prosperity we are still depend- ent on something besides pride and money. But it is such hard work to learn through trouble that it is to be hoped that we may be spared the ex- perience of devastating and deadly dry spell. Perhaps when the moon is thoroughly changed it will rain.

CHANGES IN THE SUDAN.

The English are accused of wanting the earth, and they do seem to want their share, but it cannot be denied that they make pretty good use of what they get. A traveller who has just returned to London from the Sudan gives an interesting sketch of the transformation that has been eff fected in that region by British rule since the overthrow of the Khalifa. He says that, Khartum is no longer dust heap, but a riverside, European, half-completed city on the Blue Nile. tGordon's College is nearly finished, but must wait for pupils. Meanwhile, at Omdurman, the Dervish rival of Khartum and only three miles distant on the White Nile, schools are at work; and among the scholars are gray-headed Sudanese. The Khartum palace, with its charming garden, is inhabited and is hospitabie. An Eng fish chaplain of the best type is at work, and an English church will be built as soon as funds are forthcom- ing. A little in the rear of the palace toward the desert, a noble mosque is being erected with funds from the Wakf, the Mohammedan religious es- tablishment. A capital club, large postoffice. fine engineering works, many private houses of officers and of ficials. nearly all with gardens, zoolog- icaI garden, and one fine hotel, the Grand, already line the riverside for more than mile, At the back in the desert itself, a mile and half from the river, are dozen tribes, each in it's own village with it's own well.

"LLoYD's COFFEE HOUSE."
The Origin and Method of Marine In-
 surance in England.

The Origin and Method of Marine In-
 surance in England.
 The first mention that is made of Lloyd's says Roberts in the April Worlds Work, is an advertisement in the London Gazette of 1885, requesting tha information about certain fugitive described in the advertisement be sent to Edward Lloyd at his coffee house in Tower street. In 1892 Edward Lloyd moved to Lombard street and began the publication of Lloyd's News. Soon after this publication was suspended as the result of quarrel of the editor with the House of Lords, and it was re- vived thirty years as Lloyd's List. Tt does not appear through the greater part of the eighteenth century, says MT. Roberts, that merchants and under writers frequenting Lloyd's rooms were bound together by any organization. It was probably as result of enormous gambling crazes so inseparably bound up with the history of insurance that formal and final organization took place in 1771. It was in 1T74 that the associa- LlOE1 LII ltuCl NlltClo dflu ulohEI6 Sdll~ ing itself the New Lloyd's settled down in the Royal Exchange. The associa- tion was again reorganized in 1811, but was not finally incorporated by an act of parliament until 1917. The objects of the incorpora ton were stated to be CD carrying out marine insurance; @ the protection of the interests of the men- bers of the association, and (3) the col lection, publication and diffusion of in- telligence and information with respect to shopping"
 Subcribers to Lloyd's who have the privilege of admission to the great Room of the association, but no voice in it's management pay $25 per year dues. Members are of two classes, non- underwriting. who pay fee of $60 a year, and underwriting members who pay $500 year, and in addition deposit securities ranging in value from $25, ,000 to $50000. according to circumstances. "L1oyd's is managed by a committee chosen from it's own members, which in turn appoints clerks and a secretary to attend to the daily routine of busi- ness. The mode in which this is done is very simple. Brokers write on 8 slip of paper the name of the ships master, the nature of the voyage, the subject to be insured and the amount at which it is valued. If the risk is accepted each underwater subscribes his name and the amount he agrees to take or un- derwrite, the insurance being effected as soon as the total amount is made up, and in these times of progress in ship building and navigation. the sum paid by the insured to the underwater is a very moderate tax in deed. As in the old days of insurance gambling all manner of risks may be covered at Lloyd's, but marine insurance is the only kind which receives official recog- milton. There are two classes of mem bers-brokers who act for clients and underwriters who do business on their own account
 The intelligence system at Lloyd's is as perfect as modern ingenuity can made it. The coasts of nearly all the civ- ilized'countriesa ar suhdivided in districts which are covered by Lloyd's agents, and much fuller news is obtained when
