| LITTLE HID suRPRIsE.

4 man shouldn't be kicked when he is down, and after he has been down and got up perhaps he shouldn't be kicked then. so We shall exhibit a little mild surprise at the flat condemnation by the Register of the action of the Police commissioners in restoring Officer Williams to his old rank. That action seems to us properly based. Descent is easy. Officer Williams descended some. How much did not clearly ap- pear at the time of the trial. But be- cause he had descended some theicom- missioners caused him to descend to the lowest round of the police ladder. Ascent is hard, but when Officer Will Hams found himself down he imme- diately began to show the good stuff in him. He began to climb. He did not complain, or talk much anyway. He attended to his duties with the same fidelity and courtesy that brought him promotion before. His good conduct was noticed by many citizens and by the commissioners. He kept steadily and bravely at it, and he has slowly climbed again until two years after his fall he is again where he was before he fell. It is an uncommon feat well done, and he is entitled to credit for it. He has been promoted on his merits. which have been conspicuous. And instead of blame the commissioners deserve praise for their action. It is proud day for the new Sergeant and just day for the commissioners. If the Reg ister continues to talk as it does about this case we shall go nigh to believe that it would seek to justify the tat tooing of a new Eagle on the stomach with the letters IF. o. E."

that of a group of Russians, rather small in number, but confident, reli- gtous and patriotic. For them the present war is what religious people call a trial which Heaven sends upon a country for its sins. They insist that Russia never did anything, and never thought Of doing any thing, which could be interpreted as menace or an invasion of the rights of neighbor. As 1t is ayerred that the emperor did not desire war, it is clear for them that there was no cause for war, and that, consequently, the treachery of the Jap anese is plain to all eyes. Everybody knows that Russia needed a port in free water, and nobody had right to ask her why she went to seek it in China.
 But the war broke out. Very we'll they said, it is war which we did not want, and the best proof that we did not desire it lies in the fact that, after the lapse of six months, we are not yet entirely prepared for it. But this war, like all our trials, will prove to be a great blessing for Russia. It will put in relief the admirable qualities of the Russian people. and, for compensation, it will give to Russia the sovereignty Of most of Asia. We will not draw kopeck from Japan ruined; but we will take seeurities-first, the islands in the Strait of Korea, then Korea itself, which we will join to that Manchuria which we shall have well earned, after having not only civilized it, but also sprinlled it with our blood
 Just here I found myself in every instance obliged to interrupt these pa- triots with the observation that the real compensation that they expect should be explained, since it can only be obtained to the detriment of a third party. It should be remembered that England, by forming an alliance with Japan, by subscribing to the Japanese loan, and by throwing difficulties in the way of the right of search and in re- gard to contraband of war, has created Intense irritation in Russia The expe- dition to Lhasa capped the climax to this rage and rancor. And in this way the final compensation is explained the compensation which not only the Russian chauvinists, but other patriots far more enlightened, expect to receive at the close of the Manchurian ordeal
 II take the formula from two articles of Prince oukhtomski. Here is an ex- tract from one:
 " And when our war with Japan is terminated, 1t will not only be possible, but even necessary, for us to start out on that expedition so long desired. the invasion of India

ANorHEn CRIME AGAINST sILVrR

ANOTHER CRIME AGAINST SHEER
 All the indications point to "a crime against silver in Mexico, which coun- try has long been pointed to as a noble example by the silverites of the United States. The bill presented by the gov ernment to the Mexican congress for substituting in Mexico the gold stand- ard for the silver standard adopts ra- tio of 32 1-2 to 1. The present silver dollar is to be retained in circulation, and will be unlimited legal tender, but it's value is defined in terms of gold. That is to say, the silver dollar of 24.439 grains of pure silver will be reck- oned as equivalent to 75 centigrams of pure gold. Free coinage is abolished the Executive being empowered to coin money as circumstances require. He is authorized to prohibit the importation Of Mexican silver dollars and has all ready imposed a duty of about s4.5O a pound on such dollars. Thus the last important producer of silver dollars adopts in effect a gold standard. To keep foreign exchange below a maxi mum of fes tiz sses+~rrIrs.esst will use the s4oOoo,OOo of gold it has on deposit in New York, the National Bank of Mexico undertaking to sell ex- change on New York at rates calculat- ed to have this effect. Recently meet ing of bankers at the Mexican capital decided to sustain the Governments monetary reform policy. Thus the tran- sition to a gold basis will be effected. it is believed, without friction of any kind.
 Brother Bryan, who is no quitter, has many times lately announced that he is a Democrat. Wiil he now take pride in coming out strong and an nouncing that he is still a silverite?

GREAT BnlrAIa,S LATEST s1IR.

-GHEdI BHAIAINsS LA A1104 sAlh. Great Britain has new stir. Lord Claude Hamilton and others are trying to excite alarm in Great Britain over the practice of granting pilotage certifi- cates to foreigners. They direct atten- tion to the important part which local pilots played in the landing of Japan ese troops in Korea, and say that, thanks to British indifference, several European powers have a good supply of pilots perfectly capable of taking a hostile fleet through the intricate chan nels leading to the most important ports. All the regular British pilotage authorities are, of course, bitterly ops posed to any system which will enable a foreign shipper to navigate his own ship into port and escape the payment of the regular fees, but a special grievance appears to be that foreigners actually can obtain a pilots certificate QPoll SeholCl Itletli tA.C lAclIAfC 1Ct
 ish applicant. British pilots are only licensed after long term of service, and after passing an examination; but in the case of the alien the period of practical instruction is dispensed with, and so soon as he can answer certain questions as to courses and distances
 he can get a certificate The local and practical knowledge he obtains by eon- stantly piloting his own vessel. The number of foreign captains with Brit ish certificates is not yet very large, but they command vessels which run in and out of the most important ports. It is known that the possession of such document will hasten promotion in the German naval reserve. But in case of war. all channels would be mined and a knowledge of them would, there fore be less important.
 Britannia means to continue to rule the wave, and she isn't going to miss any points if she can help it.

The Prussian architect Gustav Ebe celebrated his seventieth birthday few weeks ago. The buildings which he be- gan to erect in Berlin in 1874 formed a new epoch in the architecture of the German capital. He was the first to use sandstone there as the favorite ma terial, the first who carried out the architectural style in the inside decora- tions, the first who infused a really artistic spirit into the building busi- ness.

It appears from recently compiled statistics that the number of cigarettes annually sold in this country at present is less by about a billion than it was ten years ago. Whether this decrease may be attributed to the operation of the anti-cigarette laws, to the power of public sentiment, to the placing on the market of a great number of cheap ci- gars that are usually classed as stogies or cheroots, or to all three causes, would be hard to determine. Whether the health of the nation will ultimately suffer from much tobacco smoke is a question over which doctors will always disagree; but we think we are right in saying that there is no disagreement as to the righteousness of the use of tobac- co to persons who have not attained their full growth. As it is probably true that the decrease in the consump- ton of cigarettes is due mainly to pre- vention of indulgence in them by boys, the fact that there is a decrease, and a considerable one, is gratifying.

An engineer named Knorr, a German who has become naturalized Russian, built four of the great bridges on the Trans-Siberian railroad, including the big Yenisei and Obi bridges, which cost, respectively, $2,85o,OoO and $2,oOO,OoO. They were great engineering feats, and brought him international fame in his profession. But he. was pursued by a curious fatality. A writer in TT. A. T." says: He had five daughters, who were famous in Russia for their beauty, and whom he loved dearly Just after his first bridge was completed one of them died; and as each of his three succeed ing bridges was built another died. He would not build fifth bridge.

While arguing case in the State Supreme court at Helena, Montana, the other day ex-Governor P. H. Leslie casually mentioned that he had just entered upon the sixty-fourth year of his practice as a lawyer. The man who has been governor of two common Wea1ths, once United States district at torney and has filled many other posi- tions of trust, in his eighty-fifth year seemed to be as alert and active as many a lawyer far younger. MT. Leslie was governor of Kentucky long before President Cleveland made him territo- rial governor of Montana.
