Perhaps the most important rt of its proceedings was the adoption nimously of the report of the execu- tive council on the subject of silver, which, while in the main a reiteration of the views of the association expressed at previous sessions, is rather more direct and pronunced than any preceding utter- ance on this question. Claming to re- gard the problem solely from a financial and business point of view, as the associ- ation properly may claim since its mem- bership embraces men of every political party, and repudiating the idea that their opmions areinfluenced by considerations of self mtorest, these representatives of the banking interests of the country renew the warning of impending danger to the country in the continued comage of silver dollurs under the act of 1878, While recognizing the fact that both gold and silver are required as the money of the land, they belicve that neither should be coined in such ratio that the other will be driven out of general use, and they appeal to all commercial, civil and political bodies to exert thewr influence in favor of the suspension of silver toinage. T'he good reasons which existed a year ago against continuing the coinage of the silver dollar are very much strong: now, the commercial value of silver ing in the past twelve months deprec fully 6 per cent., o that at this time th dollar has an intrisie value of only 73 cents. A year ago the great absorber of silver, India, which had for years taken all the surplus of the world and seemed anxious for more, showed no indications of satiety, but within the past few months India has been crying enough, with the effect of seriously disturbing the exchanges of England, and consequently to a greater or less extent of Europe, adding to the problem a new compli tion of the most serious nature, So lo as India continued to be a receptacle the capacity of which seemed to be equal to any requirement, the advocates of maintaining silver coinnge had at least one staf upon which to lean, but now that the recepta- cle is gorged to overflowing, and the consequences are already beeoming serious to the business and financial affaizs of Europe, with the certainty that the effect must in time be folt in this country, it is diflicult to see where they are to find another prop for their cause under the prevailing conditions, The de- preciation of silverin the past twelve months cloarly proves that the sabply is in excess of the demand, and puts be yond all controversy the proposition that unicss the European nations which have demoneti silver can be induced to re- store it to their currency its coinage in this country must cease, and for an in definite time. Even certain of the mino owners, whoure reported to have stopped onerations beeause the mining of silver at the present price of the metal is not profitable, must see the mistake which the government is making in ad- hering to A policy the effect of which cannot be otherwise than to force a further depreciation, while it is compelling the poople to pay more for their dollar than itls intrin- sically worth, According to the statewent of Treasu- rer Jordan to the bankers' association, | the coinage of silver dollars to the close of the last fiscal yeur, June 80, amounted to $238,723,256. The value of the subsid- iury silver is esthnated st $70,000,000.

The week abroad has been noticeable for a fearful renewal of rioting in Belfast, the close of the Heidelberg anniversary, continned agitation of the Boulanger n- cident in France, and a cessation of v pouts of Hussia’s warlike intentions and preparations on the Black Sea. riots at Belfast which began on last Sat- urday were instigated by the *‘law-abid- ing" Protestant fanatics of that vity. The riots lasted all day Sunday and w newed on Monday, the rioters attacking Cathotic residences, looting tayerns and groggeries, assailing the police and fiving buildings. So sauvage was this terrible mob and so powerless were the police among them, that it became necessary to telegraph to Dublm for mulitary aid. The dispatehes were so urgent that the sol- dierson furlough were summoned by bugle in the streets and 400 men were hastily dispatehed to Belfast, to be fol- lowed by oth Itis o som: 1 significant omen that the chief secretary lur Ireland, under the new ministry that comes into offico upon an Irish issue, one of whose principal arguments m the campaign struggle was the necessity of protection for these Ulster Protestants. should be ealled upon to take stern measures to suppress the one fac tion his government was, in a manner, created to protect, It is also a someweat unfortunate circumstance that the leader of the house of commons in the par- liament which will be called upon to deal with the Ulster nsurgents, is the man whose incendiary havangue six months ago was the primary cause of the outbreak. Until Lord Randolph Churchill exhorted Ulster to wave all its banner: and charge with all its chivalry, the “‘mi- nority” had manifested no inclination to mob a denomination that happenecd to differ with them about a theological is- sue, which chanced also to be & question upon which the two pohtical parties in Ireland are to a certain extent divided . s no palliation of the erime of the Belfust insurgents, The protes- tants began the rioting on every occ sion, with no batter pretext than relig ious intolerance. Lord Salisbury’s gov- ernment owes it to itself to take prompt and stern measures to suppress the riots and then to punish with the utmost se- verity all who can be proved to have par- ticipated in them. England cannot at this juncture in Irish affairs aflord to adopt two policies in dealing with erime in Ireland, and thongh the present goy- ernment has the unwelcome task of pun- ishing its own politieal adherents in this instance, that punishment should be none the less swift and severe, When the next Lrish debate comes on it is likely that the question, What is to be done for the poor protestants of Ulster? will not excite the house of commons so much as it did be- fore.
