The Irishman As SNEAKER.

Irishmen make good speakers, but
they never get a chance at Westmin-
ster. In the parliaments of Great Brit
ain, however, an Irishman is almost
invariably found in the presidential
chair, placed there by majority of
English, Scottish and Welsh votes Sir
Francis Murphy, Sir Charles McMa-
hon. Sir Charles Gavan Duffy and the
Hon. Peter Lalor, who twice refused
knighthood. are a few of the Irish
Australian speakers of the past. At
present three of the Australian parlia-
ments are presided over by Irish speak
ers-the Hon. Frank Madden (Victo-
rial, the Hon. I. f. Quinlan (Western

(Queensland). The last named was

The question in Mexico of what a
dollar means has recently been au-
thoritatively settled. The department
Of finance has decided that the word
dollar shall mean the American gold
dollar and that when the Mexican sill
yer dollar is meant the word peso
shall be employed. Some time ago an
American resident at Tampico wrote
dollars on a check, and the Tampico
bank cashier to whom the check was
presented paid the amount in gold val

that it was his intention to have silver
paid. Litigation was threatened, but
upon investigation the authorities de-
cided against the drawer of the check.
