He said England i was a great crediting nation—a nation to which other nations owed *T$ 10,000,000,ooo. Thus, it was to l&lgland’H interest to have the single gold basis. “I dont know all about finances,” said Mr. Walsh, “for I «m a plain : badness man. But I do know that .between 1837 and 1873 and from that time to this under the Bland act the seigniorage in the treasury is being coined along with gold at the ratio of 16 to 1. “England will never consent to WmetRliam until she is compelled to do ilb by this county or by inter¬ national agreement with this and other silver using states.

It Is anneonced that William Wal¬ dorf Astor, Who loses #8,000 a month on his periodical, The Fall Mall Maga¬ zine, ba« became a British citizen. It is also announced that certain other of our American ruling families now in £&ope have decided that they will tever return to this country to live. Tdfir home la in New York, but their complaint is that New York never does anything to make life pleasant for these many milHoued; therefore they won’t live ia America may mare. Tho princi¬ pal reason they think they are unkindly treated appears to be that New York has been vainly trying for years to make same of them pay their taxes. This is too bad. Ncw York ought to re¬ mit their taxes for the honor of having oer American nobility Uvo there. More than that, it ought to Institute a con¬ stant round of sUawbetry and ice cream festivals and h ase h a ll in their honor and invito them free. It ought to sit np nights thinking of ways to amuse them and pet then. We owe everything to cmr millionaires, we do, in this coun¬ try. The only trouble is diet we do not properly appreciate them. When that beggarly Battenberg finally makes up his mind which American millionaire’s daughter be will marry, and when the rest of them boy their deer parks and London booses and get regularly into the swim with British nobilities and royalties, perhaps we will think moro of, them and begin to wake up to the bean ty and bruine that mu loot to ns forever more. Maybe they will buy np some title* of nobility, and then we shall know and be sure what rare spirits have vanished from our midst One thing we are certain of, however, and that little fact leaves us not wholly disconsolate. We know they will draw their tnooey regularly from this coun¬ try. We are still good enough to pay rents to our millionaires and furnish tho material for their coupon cutting. Meantime if eight people do frequently live in one room In the cities whenco our noble millionaires derive their revenues, and if a dozen people are sometimes re¬ ported in one morning paper as having committed suicide because they cannot pay rent and have nothing to eat be¬ sides, what does that matter? What right have they to disturb the good times of our millionaires abroad by making such unpleasant items in the morning papers? And let the Americans stop at onoo trying to take care of their suffer¬ ing poor tbeee times and go to work and make the country pleasant for our mil¬ lionaires to live in. What is cillod the*”Whaleback” line of freight steamers baa been established between New York and Tampico, Mex¬ ico. The ships are an adaptation of the model of the samo name that attracted attention three years ago Tho first ship of the new line, the Sagamore, was built at Sunderland, England She is registered as a Belgian ship, although designed torUn in American porta The leading idea in tho novel construction of this ship is that she is round backed, Uke a whale, and very flat, so that seas can roll over and over her, instead of washing against her and staving her in. Her bottom is also round and smooth, having no keel at all A flnliko strip running along eaeh style of the bottom keeps her steady. It is claimed for tho Sogiunare, and facts thus far bear out the claim, that she is faster, safer, bolds more oargo in proportion to her rise and consumes less coal than the Ordinary freighter. She is 880 feet long and 88 feet wide, drawing 10 feet « inches leaded. She has a doable bottom, so if the first should upon a rock the other would still be there, three feet above, to knap her from staking. It would be strange if tin pattern of ships that has obtained since before the be¬ ginning of civilisation should in time be changed to tiM whaleback pattern. One claim mode for the new model is — to that she is now sound oouvertad to the true faith of the , so to speak. so it to er me cook k ”1 always •**.*«• •>. V r - “ < ss - Land ReMtnrcei 1 b Utah, This territory baa been supposed to be taSxXy well known, but it ia * fact that the best part of it has never yet been opened to settlement. That is bccauso it was used for Indian reservations. It is in tbo northeastern part of Utah. There are two reservations, the Uintah and the Uncompagbre. Of these there will be opened to settlement and fit for agricultural purposes at least 3,000,000 acre*. They aro rich and well watered, and in the Strawberry valley and other portions are heavily timbered. In terri¬ tories like those in the west it is usnal to estimate 60 per omit of the land as fit for tillage. Tho 2,000,000 acres consti¬ tute 60 per cent of the whole body of land that will be left after tbo Indians take their share in severalty. A corre¬ spondent of the St. Louis Globe-Demo¬ crat calls attention to the fact that there will be no wild boomer rush when the Utah lands aro opened. Civilization has at length found a better way to distrib¬ ute the lands, and it was time. The Uintah and Uncompagbre lands will be sold by description to the highest bid¬ der at not less than $1.75 an acre. Town sites will .bo plotted by the gov¬ ernment surveyors beforehand and sold in lots. Lands that remain unsold after the bidding is over will be opened for homestead entry. The ground that 1 b unsuitable for fanning is much of it adapted to graz¬ ing. Tremendous crops of alfalfa, two a year, made in former times the for¬ tune of many a beef raiser in the Mor mon territory. Now the flush days of free pasture and free farms are over, but tho fertility of the soil is still there, and a dozen people will make comforta¬ ble livings where one became rich be¬ fore, and that is much better. Beyond a doubt the opening of those now lands for settlement at the same time sho conies into tho Union will give Utah such a boom as few young states have had. Nobody will grudge it to her either, for Utah has had an unfor tunato reputation ever since her history began, owing to the doings of the Mor¬ mon gentry. Perhaps her good times will come in a great wave now. - Be¬ sides their agricultural resources the lands to be thrown open have shown that they possess at least probability of concealing good stores of gold and silver in their mountains and valleys. Coal and asphalt aro also fonnd. A Defender of Suicide. It is to be regretted that a man so brainy and brilliant as Colonel Ingersoll comes forward in tho light of defending a man’s right to take his lifo when it is no longer agrecablo to him. If be rook it when it was no longer agreeable to other people, there would be many more suicides than there are now. Colonel Ingersoll says in substance that, whon a person is overwhelmed with the misery of this life and cannot remody it, then the natural thing and the justifiable thing is for him to get ont Of life. Quite apart from any theo¬ logical idcaofrhe sacredness of life and a hereafter, Colonel Ingersoll advocates a most weak and cowardly doctrine. There never was a misery so deep; a life so hopelessly helpless, that there was not some way ont of the trouble. It sounds trite to say it, but it ia the absolute fact that difficulties nobly striven against give ns a strength that nothing else will Man would never have discovered the uso of fire if he had not been oold. If, when wo are cold, we merely cut our throats instead of hustling about and ‘hying to get material to make a fire, we shall be doing the silliest thing possible. No situation is absolutely hope! 80 long os life is left to us we may be certain that it can yet be 0# aome use to both ourselves and others.
