CHINA AND SILVER COINAGE.

James $. II. Umsted, whose handling
qualifications for the job, discusses in
a recent magazine Silver and the Chi
nese Factor With the conclusion Of
the new Chinese loan he assumes that
the reform OF the Chinsee monetary
system has begun. That China will go
from a copper basis TO a silver cur
rency seems assured.
The chaotic condition of the Chi
nese monetary system is almost beyond
belief. Three hundred and twenty
million people have been living and
doing business with money whose
minting has been the private graft Of
the Niceroy Of each Province Of the
Empire. Nominally the money of China
! is silver. In foreign exchanges she
uses silver dollars, mostly Mexican,
but the common people depend on
cash" those copper discs with square
holes in their centers, of which it takes
one thousand to equal a dollar.
] The reform of the Chinese money is,
therefore of considerable interest TO
silver producing countries, a leader
among which is the United States,
since, If China reforms at all, it must
be in the direction of silver.
The influence on the price Of silver
of Chinas adoption Of practical silver
coinage would be vast, though gradual.
To reach an average circulation Of on
/ ~ one dollar a head would require the
coinage of two hundred and sixty mil
! lion fine ounces. This is nearly fifty
million ounces more than the worlds
entire silver production in 1909. But
gradual reform Of Chinas money sys-
TEN has begun. The minting privilege
has been taken away from the Vice
roys, and provisions have been made
for the coinage at Picking OF silver
dollars a little larger than ,he Mexican
Subsidiary coinage has also been ar
ranged on a basis that will keep the
smaller coins in the country Each dol

While the effect OF the adoption Of
the silver standard in China will prob
ably be 20 brace up the price Of silver
which since 1859 has tended steadily
downward and so 10 help the silver
Industry the world over, other more re-
mote but more important effects may
follow. one Of these may be the plac-
ing u Chinese industries, with their
cheap labor on such a basis as TO
bring them into direct competition with
Occidental Industries. AS Mr.. Umsted
remarks. The sentinels Of the white
race and the gold standard cannot ar

He lived the life OF hermit and was

1856 he accepted the invitation OF n

his house at Tomsk. There he was
very retired and held communication

on. This is one OF the things that
makes the administration and enforce
ment OF the laws so cumbersome. Any
one can carry his case up and the re-
suit is congestion. The situation does
not make for respect for the laws or
for the courts. Speedy justice. prompt
". vigorously and surely administered
we are very far from the ideal.
Many suggestions have been made
for the relief Of the supreme court
one is that the court curtail or cut
out altogether its vacations. Another
is that its members serve on no COM
missions or other bodies whose duties
would demand a portion Of their time.
one is that the court be divided. only
a portion OF its members handling
certain cases.
The plan has been urged by Presi-
dent Taft limiting the cases that can
be carried TO the supreme court He
has suggested that the power of appeal
be curtailed that more original re-
sponsibility be vested in the lower
courts so that only a portion Of the
cases that are now carried up will be
permitted TO find their way before the
highest court This seems to be the
most certain method Of preventing the
delays that now attend the procedure
Of the supreme court.
AT any rate the situation is one that
is to be regretted. Ii is evident that
the efficiency Of the administration
of justice must be decidedly impaired
by the length Of time before the
cases can be taken up. Furthermore
the business Of the courts is increas-
ing, the number of cases that are tried
and that are carried up is on the in
crease and il is reasonable To believe
that in a few years the congestion in
the supreme court will be even great
er than at present unless in the mean
time some steps are taken to relieve it.

ShakespeGre's death. This fact takes
on new significance when we study
what we now call the Irish brogue in
connection with what is known to have
been the pronunciation of English at
that time. The two are found to con-
form In practically every respect.
Irishmen pronounce English as their
forefathers learned 1t and have pre-
served its pronunciation because they
have been away from the main cur
rent of English speech variation ever

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

A man in. New York recently
died, and the fact that for some
time previous to his death he had
been attended by a Christian
Science practitioner, is being her
aided abroad as a censure on
Christian Science treatment. This
is done Notwithstanding the fact
that the man died under the treat
ment of a licensed physician who
was called later.
Anything that tends to bring
discredit upon any other than old
schooLallopath treatment, il touted
far and wide by so-called news
bureaus as warning to the afiict-
ed to fight shy of everything save
calomel and morphine.
An inquest was held and the
coroner, who is practicing physi-
clan, said that Mr.. Eager's death
was due to rupture of the spleen,
an internal hemorrhsge, chronic
diffusion nephritis, a fatty heart, a
fatty liver, chronic gastritis and a
acerated wound over the left eye.
Following a lecture by the coro-
ner the jury only took five minutes
to bring in a verdict that death
was due to the disorders, caused
by lack of medical treatment.
The best physicians lose patients
who are troubled with half the
Affections that caused Eager's
death.
