1.-THE New Chinese Currency"

Review.
The dollar advocates have won the
decision of the Throne at last. Not
only are all the progressive classes
throughout the Empire delighted with
this action OF the Government, but for
eign authorities as we'll agree that
China has taken Il forward step. BY
the adoption of the dollar China will
nave the relative value between the
unit and the copper currency fixed at
n most convenient rate of l to 1000,
instead of such a cumbersome
ment as something like 1,4S2 cash as
the equivalent of the tael.
The currency, as mentioned. is based
upon the decimal system. TIE princi-
pal subsidiary coins are the chiao, the
tenth. one-hundredth. and one-thou-
sandth part of the yuan In value, re-
spectively. For convenience other
DIN have also been introduced. These
are the 50-cent and 25-cent pieces in
silver. the 5-cent coin in nickel, and
the 2-cent and 5-cash coins In copper.
per.
In order to maintain the ratio be-
tween the unit and the subsidiary
coins. which China has never succeeded
in doing in the past, the government
adopted the first of the two methods
mentioned by Mr.. Fl. White in his
book on money and banking-namely.
to restrict the supply of the small
coins. AS stated in the memorial OF
the board Of finance:
"Since the purpose OF coming the
subsidiary coins is for making changes
and small purchases and is not in
tended for general use. the supply of
such coins must not be too large. IN
less strict rules are adopted and en-
forced governing the coinage of such
coins. we fear there Is no other way
OF maintaining the decimal system"
The government is likely to have
much trouble in carrying out this pro-
vision. One of the foremost causes of
the recent confusion Of the Chinese
currency has been the unregulated
coinage of copper coins. Unless the
central government succeeds in taking
away from the provinces the privilege
Of minting M conducts the coinage
itself strictly In accordance with we'll
planned regulations. or proves able to
enforce such regulations upon the pro-
vinces both of which are hard to do,
all it's efforts for the reform will prove
a failure. The government seems tc
nave recognized this difficulty and APP
pears earnest in it's determination to
overcome it. Ii the government sue
ceeds in maintaining the decimal sys-
tenn. it will confer a great benefit upon
the country. When the enormous pop
ulation of China Is taken into consid-
Grafton. the economy resulting from a
uniform decimal system In accounting
alone must be considerable. to say
nothing Of the impetus to m

The sixth parliament OF Henry ~.
of England me at Coventry in l4O4. 1t
was called the unlearned parliament by
some, n the illiterate parliament by
others; while by others still it was dis
respectfully dubbed the parliament OF
ounces. The reason for this was that
it contained no lawyers. Their had
been much complaint hat lawyers were
in the habit OF securing seats in par
lament, not for the public good. but
to further the interests of their clients
and incidentally feather their own
nests. Henry himself said that mem
beers often spent more time on private
suits than on public business. Awaiting
himself of an ordinance passed under
Edward Ill, he stipulated in the writs
that no lawyers should be returned.sHe
had the parliament meet In Coventry.
SO as not be near the courts. Notwith-
standing it contained no lawyers, and
although it vas called by derisive
names as noted, it seems to have been
as good as the average, and to have
done some sensible things. Strange to
a though obsolete long ago, the ordi-
nance excluding lawyers was not re-
pealed till 1871.

A conore.s ON WheeIa.

The Continental congress which had

Philadelphia. In December, 1915, came

and it fed precipitately to Baltimore.
Howe did not come. and in March,
l777. it ventured back to Philadelphia.
In September it became alarmed again

Pope Hadrian Nv. was the only Eng
iishman that ever sat on the papal
throne. His real name was Nicholas
Breakspear. His parents We're poor and
he made his way in the world by his
own exertions and force of character.
He was elected pope in 1854 and died
in 1859. Shortly after his election to
the papacy Frederick Barbarosa came
to Rome at the head Of a large army
for the of receiving the crown
OF Germany from the hands Of the
pope. Hadrian went OF to meet him
and demanded that as a symbolic act
of courtesy he should hold the pope's
stirrup. Frederick refused at first. and
for two days they quarreled about it.
English obstinacy finally won, but not
until the pope had threatened to with
hold the crown This was the begin
ming of a long contention between the
two, and this struggle between the pa.
pal authority and the Hohenstaufen
dynasty was continued long after Ha.
