G. Hagâ€" gart, Minister of Railways ; Hon. Geo. E. Foster, Minister of Fimnance ; Hon, J. G. Patterson, Minister of Militia : The New York World gives a very lucid explanation of what is meant by "free coinage," and a ratio of 16 to 1, ete. It says: "Free coinage means the extension to every holder of bullâ€" ion of the privilege of having it coined for him at the mint without charge into full legal tender money. The holder of gold bullion has that priviâ€" lege now. The ‘free coinage‘ advocates desire that it shall be extended to the holders of silver bullion also. The ratio mears the relative weight at which the two metals are coined. In our existing coinage the ratio is 16 to 1. That is to say, we put by weight sixteen times as much silver into a dolâ€" lar as we do gold. Under a ratio of 20 to 1 we should put twenty times as much. The French coinage is at the ratio of 154 to 1." THE[CONSERVATIVE PICNIC Up to Aug. 7th the Chicago Expoâ€" sition had cost $23,867,752 for conâ€" struction and administration. _ The gate receipts up to that time were $3,â€" 447,037 and the receipts from conâ€" cessions $1,178,546. The ddily reâ€" ceipts from all sources now average about $80,000 and the average daily expenses $15,000, leaviog a net daily revenue of $65,000. As the Fair has less than two months to run, the total receipts yet to come cannot amount to more than three or four million dollars. The total amount the directors will have to offset against this expenditure of $23,8857,752 will consequently be under ten .aillion dollars. â€" This leaves a glaring deficit of about $13,000,000 that the directors of the Fair and the city of Chicago will have to wrestle with. The International Sunday _ School Convention met at St.Louis,, Mo., last week. This Convention arranges the series of International lessons for Sabâ€" bath Schools.

Examms You Labol. EDITORIAL NOTES Tth, 1893 |__ Not all Unionists look with faver on the Salisbury plan of rallying an overwhelming majority of Peers to vote against the bill. Such a course, they feel, muust direct general attenâ€" tion to the broadening chasm between the Lords and the Commons, and tend to precipitate the fight of the British democracy against the Upper House. For many years the British people have watched with increasing jealous y the interferencs of the Peers with the work of the popular representatives in the Lower House. The assembling of the aristocrats to defeat a measure ap proved by the Commons after the most exhaustive debate in Parliamentary history will not only aggravate this jealousy but will also excite more interâ€" est in the passage of the bill that has been felt before in the United Kingâ€" dom. There is no doubt that the great mass of Liberal voters in Great Britain have felt only lukewarm favor toward home rule. _ They have supportedâ€" the policy morefor thesake of Mr. Gladstone than from any deep conviction. Upon this mood, however, the course of the Tory and Liberal Unionists Lords is likely to react in a way not desired by them. A keen sense of antagonism will be felt generally against the oppoâ€" nents of the Government. As if to hasten the joining of the issue, the House of Lords this week placed itself in direct opposition to the popular deâ€" mands by rejecting the betterment elauses inserted by the House of Comâ€" mons in the London Improvements Bill. The Labouchere Radicals prophâ€" esy that their demonstrative rejection of the Home Rule Bill may be the finâ€" al act of their suicidal folly. The Irish Home Rule Bill passed its third reading in the|British House of Commons last Friday by a vote of 301 to 267 or a majority of 34. The Bill has been passed to the Lords and will be given its first reading but will doubtless be rejected by a large majorâ€" ity when it comes up for its second reading. A despatch says that the Conservatives are mustering the Lords for an overwhelming majority. _ The Earl of Kimberley, leader of the Gov Government‘s â€" forlorn hope in the House of Lords can muster at most 42 votes. For every Peer supporting the bill, therefore, ten will oppose â€" it. There will be little debate on the bill among the Lords, the only speeches of importance, expected being those of Lord Salisbury against, and the Earl of Rosebery for.

The duties of the new appointment are: 1. To lecture on Live Stock for two months in the fautumn to the stuâ€" dents who attend the State Agricultâ€" ural College ; 2.

They were all staggering about like so many drunken men. They belâ€" lowed, threw their heads and tails in the air and acted like cireas horses prancing to the time of a brass band. It was the worst lot of jig step the farâ€" mer had ever seen, . The cows were inâ€" toxicated, but how they came to be so was a mystery until A. K. Evans, a veterinary surgeon, was called. _ He found that the cattle had broken into! a corn field and the green corn they| had eaten fermented in their stomachs, ) causing intoxication. Mr. Wiman thotight that the preâ€" sent financial stringency was owing to the fact that the banks were compelled to hoard up vast amounts to meet the withdrawals of depositors, thus paralyâ€" zing trade and seriously affecting busiâ€" ness interests. He advised the organiâ€" zation of building and loan associations in connection,/with churches, believing that thus much of the money deposited in savings banks would be used in the erection of cottages and apartment houses. ‘ }Toc Much Money in ‘the Hands of a Few â€"People Ought to Build. _._NEw YorKk, Sept. 3.â€"Erastus Wiâ€" man discussed savings banks at Prohiâ€" bition Park, S.
