THE PHILIPPINE CURRENCY.

The recently published statement
OF the Secretary of Finance and JUS
tice of the Philippine Government not
only tells of the rapid increase in the
import and export trade of the archi-
pelago, but gives the reason for the
solidity of the trade. and commerce
in the fact that the Philippines are
now. practically. on gold basis. The
secretary says:
The whole of the old currency will
not be eliminated until our taxing
laws get fairly to work, but for all
practical purposes the new currency
will have eliminated the old and taken
its place by January l, 1906 1t Is no
small achievement for our government
to have eliminated from $50, 900 900
to 100000, 900 of debased currency and
have substituted for it currency
based on the gold standard all within
less than year and a half and with
out a serious jar 1t may be
stated therefore, that the great work
of passing from a shifting and an un-
certain currency to one that is fixed
and certain has been very largely ac-
complished"
Subsequent to the statement of The
Filipino Secretary comes the voice of
William Jennings Bryan from Lincoln
demanding that the Democratic party
must maintain its position on bimet-
alism'-sixteen to one and a return
to the debased currency from which
The Filipinos have been freed Verify
the people of the United States were
rot deceived by attacks on imperial
ism nor by attacks on alleged corrup-
tion. The very head and front of the
Democratic party is William Jennings
Bryan, and its fundamental principle
a fiat dollar. The issue was concealed
throughout the campaign, but not to
the extent of fooling any great portion
of the people any part of the time

ARBITRATION THE FASHION.

THAT great statesman. John Hay,
recently remarked that war was the
most futile and fallacious of human
follies," made up the opening senten-
ce of the speech of England's foreign
secretary at the banquet of the Lord
Mayor-the banquet at which custom
has decreed there shall be given an
outline of the policy of the British
Cabinet. especially with reference to
questions SO acute as those which now
occupy the attention Of all cabinets.
The contention of Lord Landsdowne
was, in startling effect. demand that
not alone future questions between ma
tions should be settled by arbitration.
but that there should be an interven-
tion at once between Russia and ia
pan The horrors of the conflict, as
he pictured them-though immeasur-
ably less than the actuality-furnish
tinguished audience.
Arbitration has become the fash
ion" said the foreign secretary. in
the presence of the Ambassadors of
other nations, and in the presence of
the most distinguished and most rep
resentative men Of Great Britain. The
speech was carefully prepared and
comprehensive statement of the pol
icy the British Cabinet intends to pur.
sue. and the occasion was mark of
departure from warlike views in the
fact that it was the Foreign Secretary
and not the Prime Minister who had
been assigned to the task.
The speech was marked contrast
to previous warlike utterances Of
Prim eMinister Balfour, and indicates

We have in our office a sample of
the colling coal taken from the newly

The strata from which this cample
is taken is said to be the same as that
in the Durango district, which is be-
ing coked at that place. The volcanic
disturbances that have occurred in
this section since the carboniferous
qualifications were formed has
thrown these formations from their
original level. but the connection is
easily determined and the quality OF
the coal proves the geological theory.
