THE PRESIDENT AND WALL STREET.


Not all the elements and Influences of Wall Street
have gone mad over President Rooseyes well known at
titude currency question and his opposition to
monopolistc trusts It is the specuator in wind the
possessor OF watered stocks the promoter of fictitious
values that has no conscience the matter Of supre-
acy law who demands that he be turned down 1t is
the opposition the of that street which would
bend to their selfish ends and purposes, courts
legislatures and congress Itself that find in the president
so much unsatisfactory The character and source
Of this opposition reaching in the favor OF the man who
is determined for the right whatever happen to him
self President Roosevelt has his faults, like every one
else but they the faults of absolutely honest
absolutely fearless absolutely determined to enforce
the stands They the faults moreover, OF
man who believes with his whole heart and soul in the
doctrine equal rights equal responsibilities and equal
opportunity People appear to have made their minds
that for the of these things his faults may wisely
be overlooked.

ANOTHER SILVER VIEW.

Colonel Edwards chief OF the division of insular az
fairs Washington says regarding the report that the
rise in the price Of silver menaces the Philippine dollar
by making valuable for melting than for coinage:
"These reports senseless there has been little
change for last six years the production and con-
eumpon Of silver and its increased in the arts is but
slight France and England not buying more than
formerly there nothing which to base the pros
pects permanent increase in the price of silver as it
seems to me- Aside from less natural reaction
from an depression purchases of silver for the
Philippine government have not been sufficient to affect

EMuLATEs THE KAISER.

1t is now that Lord Salisbury resigned from the
British cabinet protest against the interference OF
King Edward that Mr. Balfour deserted his late dis
tinguished knsman retained Office and accepted his
place And now Nemesis has oyertaken Bahour and the
king is insisting taking the JOB Of cabinet tinkering
entirely away from him Perhaps this means trouble
ahead 1t is question Of brain preponderance If the
king shows himself wiser than his prime minister the
people will kick because he supersedes Bafour as
the head of the administration But the king is running
big risk if isn't very confident that he knows more
than his minister's and make good. A minister can
perpetrate big blunder But the people can promptly
turn him by their power in parliament No trouble
to change ministry But when king makes big
bunder and has to be out there endless fuss
and great expenditure of blood and 1t is safer
for the king stay behind the in Great Britain
He has standing army justify him when he moves
the will of the people SO the alleged deter
minaton Edward play the role of Billy the Kaiser in
his dominion full peril not only to himself and his
dynasty but to the peace Of the world.

OLD AGE PENSION ABUSES.

Old age pensions have apparently broken down in
Australia The administration Of the old age pension
of New Zealand Victoria and New South Wales has
been subject to abuses and these Of such
shake the confidence OF the most en-
thusiastic supporters of the system However excellent
theory old age pensions may appear be- the difficult
ties Of administering the system with wisdom and justice
would appear to be almost insuperable In Australia it
has been clearly shown that far from encouraging
thrift the result Of the system has produced Just the
opposite effect and is demorazing in the extreme The
Victorian treasurer Nj Shields recently declared in par
lament that If members the report thousands Of
brought under his notice they would be shocked 70
learn that the generosity Of the had been much
sbused he added that there S000 or 1900 cases
in which the granting Of these pensions justified and
would appeal TO the heart Of any but there
5000 or 60oo men and women who should not receive
anything The result Of the inquiries had been that
euctions had been made in more than 1900 cases"

Summer to me is fairest in her death,
When thick the leaves fall on her quiet face.
No more che laughs with triumph in her breath,
Her spirit sighs in every wooded place.
No more her sunshine mocks my twilight way.

Her songs are sung Their echoes die amay,
Too far too faint to wake the old unrest.
