It is to be borne in mind that the countries of Europe are not coining sl and that the white metal sells in those countries as any other commodity. duction of silver in the world is 161,000,000 ounce the commercial vilue of which is $125000,000, but the coinage value at the ratio of 16 to 1 is now about $225000,000.

Teachers every where have been recommended to de- vote a portion of the school hours to exercises that will impress upon the pupils & knowledge of the benefits to be ained from the companionship of good bool In some of the schools contribu- tions of books are to be solicited as a leus of a school library or in main- ance of a school library already be- gun. The celebration is to illustrate the intimate relation existing between the work of the public schools and the use of a suitable library that can min- ister to the literary tastes developed | at school. There can be no question as to the importancg of instilling into the minds of children in the public schools the habit of supplementing their assigned studies by the reading of books. This habit wmay be formed and divected under the supervision of the teacher, and its strength and tendencies must to a great degree depend upon the chavacter of the books placed at the pupil's command or recommended to him. It is all very well to say that books, like friends, must be of one’s own choosing, but in both the choice may be often consider. improved by limiting its subjects ad books, like bad companions, we | may be sure, will work their own way, while good books may lay at hand un- opened.

The five judges of the district who took a firm stand in favor impartinl trial of the libel case whic had been pending in the criminal divi- sion of the court will not suffer in public esteem or in respect of the bar by res n of the criticism of their action from ny quarter. The fact that the supreme court was about to issue a mandamus to sustain them in their position affords conclusive proof that they occupied high and solid ground. As the custodians of Justice and equity in this district it was the duty and prerogative of a majority of the district bench to administer and expound the laws in accordance with the spirit of the constitution, which en- titles every eitizen to an impartial trial by a jury of his peers, and clothes the vilest eriminal with the presumption of nnocence until he has been adjudged guilty, Such a trial could not possibly have been had in the case at bar which the five judges orvdered transferred from the docket of Judge Scott. There is no disposition on o part to revive the issue, although the case has been dis- missed and its discussion is privileged. Suffice it to that the action of Judges Hopewell, Keysor, Ferguson, Blair and Ambry mot fail to com- mend itself to the approval of fair- minded citizens who look to our courts of law as the palladium of justice equity. bench say, D' MARK The Bur wistics has completed its report of imports and exports of the United States for the month of Septem 1804, and 1893, and the figures are ily interesting in connection with the lim of the tariff r t under the ngw law a great improvement would take place in our exports of merchan- dise. Mr. Wilson and other democratic leaders have held out the assurance in Justification of their policy that in tear- ing down the defen: to American in- dustries reared by protection our manu- facturers and producers would be let into all the markets of the world. Mr. Wilson said to his West Virginia constit- uents that under the democratic policy regarding the tariff not only in the great produets of agriculture, not only in our wheat, corn, cotton, beef and other meat products, but in the products of our mannfactures, foreign producers and manufacturers might henceforth find us competing with them in all the markets they sought. He talked this way to the British free traders who dined him, and he reiterated it to the people of his con- gressional district. What do the official statisties s reference to this assumption leader of tariff reform after a month's experience under the new tariff law? They show that the exports of merchan- dise for the month of September, 1894, amounted to $13,000,000 less than for the same month of the preceding year, and this, notwithstanding the fact that a year ago the country was in the midst of the panic. Tt also shows that in Sep- tember of last year there was imported into the United States about $6,000,000 more in-gold than came into the country in September of this year. At the same time our imports of merchandise ex- ceeded those for the corresponding pe- riod of last year to the amount of over $4.000,000, and, while in September, 1803, the excess of exports over imports of merchandise was more than $25,000,- 000, last September the excess was only a little over $8,000,000. Thus it is shown that instead of improving our trade in the markets of the world, the conditions under the new tariff law are very much wore unfavorable than they were when the panic was at its height. The new tariff law went into effect in August, and throughout that month the business of the country was practically being earried on subject to the pro- visions of that act. If the assumption of the tariff reformers is good for anything the exports of last August onght to 8" ow a decided improvement over those of the corresponding month of 1803, The econ- trary was the case, however, the total exports of domestic merchandise during August of this year having been nearly $12,000,000 less in value than for the sanie month of the preceding year. What ansy will the tariff reformers make to these stubborn facts, officially attested | by demoeratic officials? Perhaps they | will say that the law bas not been in op- eration long enough for a fair test of its effects upon our export trade, but what sound reason is there for expecting any better relative results this month or the next or a year he The new tariff will not make the people of Burope eat more of our agricultural products, nor will it lessen the competition of other agricultural countries with the products of this country. Europe has always taken of our breadstuffs and meats the amount needed to supply the demand, and opean merchants will continue to do this regardless of our tariff. As to extending the markets for our manufac- in of the tured products, shall be able to do that only when we can produce as cheaply as our- competitors for these markets, and this will not be until we shall have reduced the price of labor to the level of the labor employed in the industries of Europe.

In the inter- val the emperor and his advisers have cre- ated offices for the opposition leaders, and the special session of the national legislature, Just called for a week and for war measures, will be a truly occidental love feast. Boston Advertiser: Japan Is proving her- sell to be a warlike power, but it is not as such that she Is chiefly intcresting to the studious western mind. We do not share in the apprehension that she is to become a menance to the world's peace. The upward, onward movement is too genuine for that. Her ambitions are not chiefly warlike. We look for her to take a worthy place in the sisterhood of nations that cultivate literature, foster sclence, promote commerce, cherish in dustrial development and recognize the value of national religion. San Francisco Chronicle Shanghal that China is suing for peace is not at all improbable. The empire appears to be in a badly rattled condition and may well desire to make a treaty on the basis of autonomy for Corea, but it is doubtful whethgr Japan, flushed ‘as she fs with suc- coss, will listen to propositions that are not accompanied by promises of a heavy indem- nity. The quadruple alliance powers will have soma voice in the matter, and Japan is bound to listen to it, for she cannot pursue a policy that might result in the extension of western aid to China. The report from Minneapolis Journal: England's attempt to stop the war between China and Japan has not been seconded by the continental powers for the reason, doubtless, that they are likely to fare better In the division of spoils hereafter than by going to the trouble of trying to hold Japan in check now. The war is now likely to be fought out, and China, with a formidable rebellion at home, is likely to be looted by France and Russia and England, for the French will seize the opportunity to add more territory to Tonquin trom China, and Russia will encroach from the north, while England is sure to take con- solation in grabbing some southwestern ter- ritory of China, Philadelphia Record: The quadrilateral al- liance for a friendly intervention between China and Japan may be wholly disinterested and inspired by regard for the higher inter- ests of humanily, but the suspicion will not casily be allayed that it is an attempted application in the international field of what are known in American politics as the “big four" and spoils system.
