The New York merchants who are at

Dot doing the square thing.
The too-previoua young man of the week
b a passenger agent for a Canadian rail
way. Be has arranged the itinerary of
r 27,000-mile tour of the world to be taken
by President Cleveland four years hence,
“if nothing turns up.”
Mr. Cleveland might do offioe-eeekers a
great favor, and probably save the lives of
tome of them, if he would suggest some
plan whereby they oould avoid lugging
around mocster petitions for appointment.
There is Frank Lawler, for instance, stag
gering around Washington under the
weight of a petition signed by 70,01)0 citi
*Btu of Chicago who favor his appointment
a* postmaster. It’s enough to dislocate his
vertebrae as well as sprain bis bump of self,
esteem.
Osn. Felix Agnus, proprietor of the Bal
timore American, although a stanch re
publican, was a member of the reception
committee to Mrs. Cleveland at the in
augural ball. Speaking of the event, Gen.
Agnus the other day said: “Five members
of the committee were republicans. I told
Mrs. Cleveland that we were Mrs. Cleve
land republicans. She smiled and said that
she was a Mr. Cleveland republican, too. I
believe it is a fact that her parents were
republicans.”
Members of the New York Southern So
ciety are discussing the suspension of Col. 8.
B. Paul, formerly of Virginia, who was re
cently put under the ban for thirty days.
The trouble occurred about a month ago.
Col. Paul and Le Grand Phenix, a Charles
tonian, with several other gentlemen, were
playing Napoleon. “A quarrel arose,” says
the New York Timex, ' 'and Col. Paul took
otlen-o at o remark made by Mr. Phenix.
Ho spoke of it, and Mr. Phetiix repeated tha
remark, and then, it is said, Col. Paul
struck Mr. Pnenix.” The governors of the
club took action ou the affair ond suspended
Col Paul. But between the two gentlemen
who were principals to the affair there was
an understanding before they left the club
room.
The Hawaiian Question.
The President’s reasons for withdrawing
! the Hawaiian treaty from the Senate have
i cot been made public, and there is a good
i deal of speculation as to what tt.ev were.
Some of the republican papers are inclined
to think that he had only one reason for his
action, and that was to obtain for his ad
ministration all thu credit for annexing
Hawaii. They do not doubt apparently
that he favors annexation, and that either
the present treaty, after having been modi
fied in some respects, will be sent to the
Senate again, or else anew one will be
negotiated. In support of this view they
assert that the treaty was carefully con
sidered by himself and Judge Gresham at
Lakewood immediately after the text of it
was made publio, and that Judge Gresham
strongly approved it.
Whether Judge Oresbam approved it or
not is a question of fact, and it is doubtful
if any newspaper Is in a position to speak
positively in regard to it. It is hardly
probable that either the President or Judge
Gresham has confided his views in this
matter to any one who would be likely to
give them to the public.
The reason for the President’s action will
be known, doubtless, within a few days. It
will probably appear that he is not so anx
ious to gat the entire credit for settling the
Hawaiian question as he is to settle it in a
way that wtil be honorable to this country
and satisfactory to the Hawaiian people.
He doesn’t want the matter disposed in a
way that would be productive of endless
trouble to this oountry.
The Harrison administration negotiated
a treaty with the commissioners of the pro
visional government of Hawaii with extraor
dinary baste. It aorepted the statements
of the commissioners, and assumed that
they told the whole truth about thesituation
in Hawaii. It may be that they presented
the Hawaiian situation exaotly as it is, but
would it not be advisable for our govern
ment to assure itself that it Is in possession
of all ths facts before taking suoh an im
portant step as that which is proposed? It
must not bo forgotten that the annexing
of Hawaii would be against the
lone established policy of this
country. If Hawaii should be an
nexed there would ho a precedent for
aunexing other countries, and therefore be
fore annexing Hawaii the question whether
it would be wise to abandon that policy
should be most carefully considered.
The suggestion that a commission should
be sent to Hawaii to find out what the sit
uation there is appears to be a good one.
If there Is a general desire there for annex
ation. and if it should appear that annex
ation would be to the Interest of Hawaiian*
as well as of our people, there would be
very little opposition to it. There
would not be a feeling then that Injustice
had been done a weak and defenseless peo
ple in the interest of a lot of speculators.
It is clearly not the purpose of Mr. Cleve
land to let Hawaii fall under the domination
of a European power. It is important
that American influence should be dom
inant there. American interests are larger
than those of any other country and the
Hawailaus are partial to Americans.
It is pretty certain that either the islands
will be annexed to this country or this
country will control them by meaus of a
protectorate. The President, however will
not sanction any course that Is not as
eminently fair and just to the Hawalians as
it is possible under the circumstances tor it
to be. It is extremely probable that another
treaty of annexation of a much broader scope
thau the Harrison treaty, will be negotiated.
It will not leave so many matters for future
settlement As that treaty does, and, hence,
will not be likely to be followed by trouble
some complications.
The Blacks Like Cleveland.
When Mr. Cleveland was Inaugurated In
1835 there was great uneasiness among the
Macks of tbe south. Many of them had
been led to believe that democratic control
of tbe government meant their return to
slavery. Tbe most intelligent among them
were satisfied, of course, that their race
would fare as well under a democratic ad
ministration as it had under a republican
one, but it was not an easy matter to oon
vince the great mass of them that their
fears were groundless.
As time went on they saw they had been
mislead by bad advisers, and when they
found that Mr. Cleveland was appointing
oolored men to office they openly expressed
tbeir admiration for him.
It is not unusual to hear oolored men say
now that though they are republicans they
know Mr. Cleveland Is a good man aud
that they believe cofbred men will have
nothing to complain of while he is Presi
dent.
The feeling among the colored people in
respect to the Democratic party is vastly
different now from what it was when Mr.
Cleveland first became President. They
know now that all of their rights and priv
ileges are as f reoly accorded tbem by the
democrats as by the republicans. In fact,
many of the more intelligent of tbem are
beginning to see that the Republican party
has been aiming only to control their votes
while the Democratic party in the south is
sinoerely anxious to assist them in better
ing their moral and material condition.
All tbe state governments in ths south
are democratic, and yet the blacks are
given their full share of the Bohool money,
and every opportunity they oould ask for
making a living is offered them. Four
years more of Mr. Cleveland will go a long
way toward convincing them that their
true interests are in the dlreotlou of tbe
Democratic party.
Tbe esteemed Baltimore Sun’s Washing
ton correspondent sends his paper a piece of
astoundiug information. He says, with all
the foroe of a line of b.ack-faoel type, that
there is in Washington “a scarcity of Geor
gians.” And, further, he says; “Notwith
standing the presence of Mr. Hoke Smith as
a member of the cabinet, there are very
few Georgians in ths oity looking for office,
A number who oame here to witness the in
auguration have already returned home.
Tne only state offices they expeot filled at
ouce are those pertaining to the United
Btates courts, such as the marshals aud dis
trict attorneys.” There must be a “screw
loose” somewhere. Can it be that the Sun's
man does not know a Georgian when ho
sees one. or have other correspondents been
merely using our esteemed fellow citizens as
space-fillers at column rates?
Home of Mr. Gladstone's political ene
mies are disposed to laugh at his expense,
because he had spoken In terms of eulogy
aud praise of Frederick Henderson, the
young poet and member of the London
county council who was recently sentenoed
to prison for robbery. But it is nodiscredit
to tbe premier that he was "takea in” by the
brilliant but erra’io youngster. Even a
“grand old man’’ cannot see into the soul of
a bad young man.
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. MARCH 12, 18S3—SIXTEEN PAGES.
Toe PaYivma Canal Money.
The stockholders of the Panama Car.al
Company now know what las become of
the greater part of their money. The testi
mony that was given in court last week
shows that at least one-half of the hundreds
of millions cf dol ors that were paid Into the
company’s treasury went into the pockets of
blackrr-aders and bribe-takers. Men in high
places who possessed great influence looked
| with greedy eyes upon tbo treasury of the
canal company—a treasury that had
been filled, to a great extent, from ihe sav
ings of the poor, who were led to invest in
the shares of the canal company by the
promise of big dividends—and deliberately
planned to have the bulk of its contents.
Not a single one of the bribe-takers and
blackmailers should be permitted to escape
punishment. There is no ground upon
which to base a plea of mercy for them.
It is clearly not the intention of the
convicted Panama canal directors to show
them any mercy. The revelations made by
Charles de 1-esseps and M. FoDtane in their
testimony is almost sufficient to make one
doubt that there are men in publio life in
Frauce who are not corrupt.
The spectacle that M. Balbut presented
when giving his testimony and confessing
his guilt was pitiable one. He was a mem
ber of the cabinet, bolding the position of
commissioner of publio works. He ad
mitted that 375,000 franos was paid to him in
order to secure the introduction of the loan
lottery bill. And according to the testi
mony of Charles de Lesseps millions of dol -
lars were paid to Baron Reinach and Cor
nelius Herz on the advice of such promi
neot men as M. de Freycinet, M. Floquet
and M. Clemenoeau.
It seems that the newspapers had to be
bribed not to attack the financial schemes
of the oompany, and legislators had to be
bribed to enact such legislation as it was
thought necessary the company should
have.
According to Charles de Lesseps the oom
pany had no friends. It was harassed by
blackmailers,bribe-seekers and adventurers
It had to submit to their demands or cease
attempting to carry out its plans. The
wonder is that any money at all was spent
on the nanal.
Are those who got the oompany’s money
by blackmailing methods any better than
common thieves? They are not, and Pranoe
will not be satisfied until they are dealt with
just as thieves are. Even those who de
manded and roceived exorbitant compensa
tion for comparative valueless services, be
cause they were in a position to oompel com
pliance with their demands, are but little
bettor than highwaymen.
The Congressional Private Secretary.
With the meeting of the next congress a
new and unknown quantity will be added
to Washington life. He—for the unknown
quantity is supposed to be masculine in
this case—is the representative's private
secretary, provided for in the closing hours
of the last congress as referred to in our dis
patches Saturday. There will be 303 of
him at a cost to the government of SIOO per
month each for every month of actual serv
ice. And it would bo safe to wager that
the private secretary will make his yoar’s
work twelve months long every time. He
will be In the position of the Georgian who
was hunting the gopher. The exigencies of
the occasion would not permit of doubt as to
whether or not the Georgian would find
the gopher;there was no meat in the house.
Not that tbs congressional private sec
retary will be forced to depend on the SIOO
a month for his meat. Meat is not the first
consideration in Washington. There are
numerous social "free lunch routes” that he
can work, if he has good clothes and the
wherewith to pay for theater and ball
tickets, and other more or lees oostly Inci
dentals. which he must have anyway,
whether he has meat or not, If he would
keep in the swim.
While It is not to be doubted that the
congressional private secretary will make a
full twelve months every year, and always
be promptly on hand pay day, It must not
tie supposed that be will spend all of bis
time In upholding the constitution of the
United Btates and answering applications
for postmasterßhipi for the sum of SIOO a
month. He cannot afford to do It. For he
must cultivate “society.” It is “society”
that is going to ask him to dinner day after
day, and for this consideration he must give
some equivalent, which takes time.
Of the qualifications necoisary to the con
gressional private seoretarv nothing is said
by the law. But one thing Is certain; he Is
not under the civil service laws. It is to be
supposed that the ability to “stand off”
angry or importunate constituents will be
the first qualification required by the
employing congressman. Then, of course,
the secretary would be required to know all
the prominent men in the distriot repre
sented by his chief, and whether or not they
took “sugar in their’n.” He would also
have to play a pretty good game of draw,
and know the value of chips by their color.
He should have a fair knowledge of
horses, and be able to pick a wiuner oc
casionally. There are other things, of
course, which might be required of him.
But each representative is at liberty to set
the standard of accomplishments for his
own private secretary.
Some of the motormen on the eleotrio
lines run their cars In a careful manner and
show that they appreciate the responsibili
ties of their positions. But there are others
who seem absolutely indifferent to human
life and limb. Their cars dash across
streets and through squares at a rate of
speed which makes it almost impossible for
pedestrians or vehicles to get out of their
way. Motormen and conductors who have
been spoken to with regard to the reckless
running sav that they have to do it In order
to make the schedule, If they were not to
keep up the schedules they would lose their
jobs. An occasional accident, Involving
the loss of life or limb, it nothing in com
parison with the orders of the otfioers of the
oompany. In view of this order of things
it would be well for those who are above the
motormen and conductors to know that
they can be made accessories to the killing
or maiming of people by street oars run un
der their iron-olad orders. City oouncil
may overlook the shortcomings of the street
car companies, but, then, grand juries may
not.
An observant, if not inquisitive, news
paper correspondent—probably one of the
army of young lady oorreapondenis who
invaded Washington last week—writes that
one of Mrs. Cleveland's first aots after she
became for the second time mlstre'S of the
white house, was to send for a tailor and
have the President measured for anew suit
of clothes. The correspondent adds; “Mrs.
Cleveland keeps an eye ou the President's
dress, and when she thinks he needs a fresh
dress suit she sends for the tailor, who does
the rest” So it seems that while her hus
band runs the cabiuet Mrs. Cleveland takes
charge o l the wardrobe.

CURRENT COMMENT.
What’a the Matter With Col. Jones?
Prom the St. Louis Republic (Bern.).
If Mr. Cleveland is not mighty polite to the
Missouri colonels not a man of them will take
office under him. They are not so hungry that
they are likely to forget what is due their dignity
as Missouri oolouels.
Hopes It Will Be Returned.
From the Xew York Tribune (Hep.).
In withdrawing this (the Hawaiian) treaty,
Mr. Cleveland assumes a grave responsibility.
We shall hope that his consideration of the case
will result tu its r turn, or in the substitution of
another treaty equivalent in effect.
The Lizzie Borden Case.
From the Memphis Appeal-Avalanche (Dem.).
Lizzie Borden has been in jail for more than
six months on a suspicion of murder. The tes
timony on which she has been held amounts to
this: The police have not been able to tlnd any
body else on whom to saddle the crime. And eo
Massachusetts jus:ice authorizes the incarcer
ation without bail of a young woman against
whom only a suspicion Is entertained.
“.aklnir Time.”
From the Xew York Times And.).
It is reported from Washington that the with
drawal of the Hawaiian annexation treaty by
President Cleveland was received with
"surprise" by many of the sena
tors. There was no occasion
for surprise. Mr. Cleveland undoubtedly In
tends to do precisely wbat President Harrison
ought to have done, that is, devote enough time
and care to tbe subject to be sure that he is
doing what the best interest* of the country re
quire.
Old De Lesseps and France.
From Ihe Springfield {Mass.) Republican And.).
It confirms the Impression that the French
government is inclined to deal leniently with
Count de Iw*sseps that he Is not among the
Panama directors who are now undergoing their
second trial. Charles de Lesseps, Balhut and
Fontane, who were convicted of swindling, are
now to be tried for bribery upon evidence which
just as deitintely potnts to De Lesseps, senior,
lie is spared, therefore, because of hia age and
infirmities, and because it beormes daily more
evident that he Is a dying man.
A Market for 811ver.
From the Xeie York Journal of Commercednd.).
A market for silver in the proper sense of
this term Is a demand for use or consumption,
and not the mere sale to someone wno will
store It. If tbe government had any occasion
to use the silver it might buy It. and such a
purchase would relieve the market of the quan
tity taken. But the transfer from the store
house of the miners to the warehouse of the
government of so many tons per annum Is not
providing a real market for it, and it is piled up.
an ever-increasing menace to the holders of
this commodity who desire to make it the sub
ject of a legitimate trade. An artificial call for
silver cannot give any permanent roiiof, and
ttie sooner tms scheme is abandoned the better
will it be for tne producers. The regular law of
supply and demand will work out the most be
neficent resuPs for all concerned, a id it caunot
be repealed by any device of man’s invention.

Judge Randoloh of Alabama.
Mr. (Secretary) Bmith was followed to the
hotel by an enthusiastic crowd of Alabamians
who had come to the city on his train, says ti e
New York Tines. When they reached the hotel
tney said they would like to pay their respects
to Mr. Cleveland. There were about seventy
five of them aod they asked how they could
convey their wishes to U.e President elect.
of them took a card and wrote on It:
“Otto hundred of the most prominent demo
crats of Alabama desire to pay tueir re pects
to the President-elect.” and this was taken to
Mr. Cleveland. He sent down word asking
them to come up.
Tney went, with Editor Rhodes at the hea l
of the procession, and each man was introduced.
One of the party w as Judge Randolph of Mont
gomery county, who is one of tue unique demo
crats of his section of the country When the
introductions wete over he addressed Mr. Cleve
land.
"i am delighted to meet you," he said, "and
I think lam tUs only man in Alabama who
don't want an office."
Mr. Cleveland laughed.
■’He doesn't want one because he has one
now," sa a one of the party “He’s been judge
of probate for Montgomery county ever since
the war, an.l it looks as if he were in for life.”
There was a general roar at this.

How Cody Dazzled the Austrians.
Of the many handsome aids in Saturday’s
procession none attracted more attention than
Col YVilliam F. Cody, or. as he is better known,
“Buffalo Bill,” says the Washington Star.
Last evening at Chamberlin’s Col. Cody told
the Star representative the following story: *i
was lu Vienna in May, 1890, at the opening of
the exposition and visited United States Minis
ter Fred Grant. The Austrian court is the most
magnificent in Europe, and the Austrian offi
cers the most gallant and elegantly uniformed
of any army In the world,
"Fred was determined that there should be
one American officer in his party at the open
ing of the exhibition whose regalia at least ap
proached the elegance and glitter in which he
would mingle. To be said to me: 'Colonel,
you attire yourself in your uniform as
brigadier general of Nebraska, and then cut
off all the yellow cord, gold lace, buckles,
tassels and trappings from your colonel's uni
form and have them sewed on your general's
uniform.’
’’l did this and took the horsehair from my
colonel s helmet and put It with tbe horsehair
of my brigadier general's chapeau. I wore
also wore a pair of higu-heeled con boy boots
that lifted me up about six inches. I was the
most gorgeously dressed man at the opening of
the exposition, and tbe rest of our people were
tickled to death at ths way the Austrians re
garded me Tney thought that I certainly must
be the general in chief of the American army,
and it was amusing the next morning to see my
various high-sounding anl o inflicting titles in
the newspapers."
Shakesceare’s Want Ad.
"The one great problem constantly staring
actors in the face is how to attract the public,"
said W. G. Crane not long ago when I met him
sunning himself on Broadway, savs a writer ia
Music and Drama. "In both ancient and mod
ern times actors have used ingenious expedi
ents in order to fill a theater. Ignatius Don
nelly relates a chasacieristic story of the im
mortal Bard of Avon.
“When Shakespeare was a member of the
Globa theater in I.ondon before be achieved
greatness as an author, he found business very
bad He ivas manager at, the time, and realized
that unless he could raise some money the com
pany would burst. He bought a fishing-pole
and some bait, and sat down on the banks of
the Thames, in leaning over a wharf he fell
overboard purposely. A crowd gathered anil
Shakespeare was hauled out of tne water. It
took about one hour to revive him.
"In the meantime it got noised about thaat
the half-drowned man was Shakespeare, the
actor. Aa soon as he had sufficiently recovered
he hauled about 50 1 tickets from his pock6t, in
formed the crowd that his benefit took place
that night at the Globe theater, and that he was
a little damp, but still in the cast He sold the
entire bouse and so changed lug luck. Ever
after that, when business was bad. he would take
a benefit aud fall overboard. Personally, Ido
not believe this story, though I hear that Louis
Aldrich not long ago presented one of the
water-stained ticxets to the Flayers' Club. It's
impossible to stop Aldrich, you know.”

From the Indianapolis Journal.
’Tis now the callow poet ’gins to sing of gentle
spring,
Of bursiing Duds and running brooks aud all
that sort of thing;
When comes a blizzard from the north with
whiskers on its tlipoat.
And freezes up his warble In the middle of a
note.
’Tis now the maid of high degree assumes a
Lenten frown.
Yet sometimes lets her thoughfs to stray toward
an Easter gown;
She tries to keep her mind upon things holier
and higher.
Yet for hoopskirts she admits she has a sort of
mild desire.
■Tis now the genial gentleman who’s often i
known as "Fat"
Is sending home for shamrock to be worn upon
his hat;
The hat h s noble father wore through mony a
darim’ fray
And mony a blessed ruction on the good St
Patrick's day.
’Tis now the guileless Abraham, or Isaac Eisen

Is putting forth announcements of anew and
nobby line
Of fine spring goods as smooth as silk and dn™
ble as leather,
That will not wrinkle, shrink or fade in anv kind
of weather.

As many famous vineyards of Europe are in
capable of producing in one year the amount of
wine bearing their label sold annually In the
United states, so the Bermudas grow only a
small percentage of the "Bermudas potatoes"
sold in this country. It often happens, indeed,
that the so-calp-d Bermuda potatoes are small
and poor potatoes of native growth, which hare
l een treated with acids in order that they may
look like the imported tubers.
The experiment of the 8-hour day, or rather
of making forty-eight hours a week's work, is
now being tried in one of the largest iron works
In England, the Salford works at Sal ford, which
is a suburb of Manchester. The working hours
at these works have heretofore been fifty-three
per week, and the reduction is made on an un
derstanding with the men that the output of the
works shall not be diminished by the shorten
ing of the hours The men are to be punctual
and energetic, and to save the owners from loss
because of this shortening of hours by greater
industry. There is to be no reduction of wages,
and if the end of the year finds the experiment
successful the 48-hour week will be the per
manent arrangement.
"Don’t you know that these C dumbinn’post
age stamps are going to work a revolution in
the stamp market?" said Arthur \\llletts, a
former postal employe of Philadelphia, to a St
Louis Olube-Democ at writer. "Now, you mark
my word, they are going to make a big change
both in form and color of the stamp of the
future. We will never go oack to the old stamp.
People will get so used to seeing and using this
big stamp that they, with their characteristic
American nature to have something to show,
will Insist on a stamp that will be big enough to
show the world that there is such a place as
America. I don't think they will want a stamp
quite as large as this Columbian stomp), but
they’ll want something like, sotnethiug that
shows they have something for their money and
the glory of the country. I think it will prob
ably be something between the old stamp and
the new one in size, but we will never go back
to the little brick colored 2 cent stamp that we
have so It ng put up with. What the new stamp
will be may be a mystery, but It will be a
change, and will be like something we have
never had before.”
The Lancet, the leading tne lical review of
England, in commending on Mr. Gladstone's
great speech at a physical feat, says: "We
must leave to politicians the appraisement of
Mr. Gladstone's speech regarde 1 as a pi -ce of
statesmanship, but considered from a medical
or physiological point of view there can be no
difference of opinion. The performance must
be regarded and must remain not only as his
torical. but probably as unique In the history of
eloquence and of states. Those who were
privileged to be amongst the audience will never
forget the sense orthe speaker. In the cr wded
chamber, fills l with all that was distinguished
and influential in British society, his voice was
heard for the first hour of the speech with per
fect ease; and even when its physical f rce be
gan to abate it was still felt as aii influence al
together exquisite and refined. No difference
of opinion could avad to save the listener from
the spell of a voice, always seconded by the
choicest amenity of expression, which it may
safeiy be said has no rival in contemporaneous
parliaments. The wonder of all is doubled
by the fact that the speaker is
in his 84th year. Though there
was a perceptible falling off in the force and vol
ume of voice as the second hour was reaohod,
the animation of ti e orator was all in intact.
His eye, and esrecially his right hand brought
into emphatic contact with the table from time
to time, test fled to the vehemence of bis
thought and feeling, and when occasion re
quired it, as for t:.e delivery of a passage of
special importance or the final yeroration, a
reserve of voice was again and again drawn
upon, and the enthusiasm of the mighty audi
ence swelled the effect of the eloquence by
which it was itself swayed. The most marvel
ous part of all was to see the orator after he
had resumed his seat looking as serene as if
nothing unusual had been done, and to learn
that he went home to dine quietly with his fam
ily and to sleep with as little disturbance as If
he had only been engaged in the most ordinary
occupation. The record of eloquence Is beaten
by our octogenarian premier,and apart from
any consideration of politics, with which we
are not concerned, we are all very proud of
him,”
China is the paradise of the numismatist. The
collections of cash, according to Consul Edward
Bedloe's report to the state department, quoted
by the Philadelphia Bulletin , are something
marvelous. They are small cuins of bronze,
brass, copper or silver, ranging In intrinsic value
from one-twentieth of a cent to 25 cents. The
oldest of these coins on record appeared about
2,800 B. C. Over 15000 different kinds of cash
are preserved in collections Some are wonder
ful examples of coinage, but most of them are
clumsy and coarse. The numismatist can work
all his life, spend very little money and leave to
posterity thousands of coins. All he needs to
do is to confine his work to the collection of cash,
the small coins in brass and bronze, whose value
ranges from one-tenth to one-fourteenth of a
cent. Their workmanship van, s. but is usually
very good. Their shape to-day is like that of
European coins, with the exception that through
the center is a square hole through which the
coins are strung together like beads. In the
past, however, other forms were employed, in
cluding the square, triangle, heart, eclipse,
shield, key, sword and spear. The number of
kinds Is simply immense. They are referred to
in the literature as far back as 250 B. C. "The
earliest that I have heard of." says Consul
Bedloe, “dates from the Ts’ in dynasty, wLich
ruled from 255 to 307 B. C. From that time
until to-day these useful little coins have been
used by every monarch, no matter whether he
was an emperor of the entire country or king
or one of the petty principalities into which,
from time to time, the Chinese empire was
broken. There have been over 1.200 occupants
of the various thrones, roya! and imperial. In
addition to these regular issues, if such they
may be called, there have been special Issues
from time to time, and also special local issues.
A wealth mandarin in Canton is said to have
the finest collection extant, containing 25,000
specimens of different kinds. The cost ’ in
creases as you go backward in time. The cosh
of this century can be secured at
tneir nominal face value. Those of the
eighteenth and seventeenth centuries bring
from 1 oent to 10 ernes each. Those of
the Hon dynasties, from 206 to 100 A. D , bring
8;00 eacn when in fine state of preiervatiou
These true antiques are found In ancient tombs
and ruins. Several hundred were discovered
in Amoy this year in digging a grave, when the
laborers broke into an old tomb several feet be
low the surface of the soil. The coins lay in a
Pretty earthenware jar, incrusted with a thin
lyer of malachite that here and there had been
changed by moisture Into azurite. The coins
were gold by the lucky coolies in the next
twenty-four h urs, and are said to have brought
$1 apiece, an immense sum to men working for
'2 cents per day. To succeed In collecling cash
a person must be a fine Chinese scholar. The
labor thereby involved is so severe as to pre
clude most collectors from indulging in the
pleasure to any great extent.”
