Finance.
In the patt week there havo been sev
eral larirc financial transactions bringing
a great deal of foreign money into in
vestment in America. But still the com
plaints of a money htiingcncy in the
cast continue, notwithstanding this
great inflow of foreign gold and Ihe as
sistance given the money market by the
treasury. An explanation of the situa
tion is by no means easy. The circula
tion of the country is linger by millions
than at this time a year ago, and there is
a steady addition to the supply by the
coinage, of $2,000,000 a month. And a
syndicate in Holland, have bought
bonds and btock of the Oregon Trans
continental company, to the value of
$10,000,000. The transfer of the Balti
more & Ohio properties to new owner
ship, also involves the immediate pay
ment of at least $ 10,000,000, more than
one-half of which will emiieout of the
hoards of Knglish bankers to swell the
volume of American circulation. The
fjuestion is. Where is the money? and
what becomes of all tins' foreign gold
that is coming to the country? In re
ply, we (piote the opinion of the New
York Cummer' iul Ad ' Pert is r that "the
locking up of money in the national
treasury, and ttio utmaiural stimulation
of land boom spcculatiwu in tlA.' west by
the crtahlisfcxnvnt of reserve cities there,
are the most obvious v active causes of
the present stringency in the money mar
ket." If this be the true solution the
situation is not likely to be immediately
relieved.
Monarch Ism
The manifesto of the count of Paris
showinir the failure of republicanism in
France and urging the restoration of the
monarchical form of government has
been its:-lf a failure. The people of
France read the long document as I hey
read anything on politics with avidity.
The count and his friends had placed
copies of the manifesto in the h.inds of
the Lcgitimutists all over France and at
a concerted moment these manifestations
were given out. But the report from
Paris is that the count's bid for power
has been rejected by the very men, the
legitamatists, who assisted in its promul
gation. The Bonapartistists, on the
other hand, arc reported as being favor
ably impressed by the manifesto.
In another column is printed a digest
of the manifesto. He reviews at great
length the cause of French politics since
the execution of Louis XVI. Taking
for a text that nothing but monarchisin is
suited to the wants of the French. On
this basis it shows how weak, changea
ble and unsatisfactorily has been tlie leg
islation of the nation. He predicts an.
other crisis more dredful than those
that have already injured the develop
ment of France and declares that the one
preyentive to such a crisis is the quiet
and easy but speedy transition to the
ancient form of government.
He argues on the same basis, that the
mere delegation of powers to the head of
a government does not give firmness
He holds that the chief executive should
be held by a solemn compact in line
with the ancient traditions of the nation
lie shows that the kiHg must be enliyht
ened and guided by the assemblymen
and deputies, not enslaved. He proposes
a change in the voting of the budget,
making it in the form of a law and not
dependent on the whim of the deputies.
These three points are the chief points
of his argument because they are directly
opposite to those upon which the French
republic is founded. They are also dia
metrically opposed to those upon which
this republic is founded. They interest
us especially because the count of Paris
and the brilliant and courageous French
soldier who placed himself under the
command of General McClkllan are the
same person. It was also the count of
Paris who, after a study of our govern
ment prepared and published a work in
advocacy of a liberal constitutional mon
archy, a work, we believe still to be
found on the college shelves of this
country.
The lover of the young western repub
lic, the cnthaiastic friend of liberal gov
ernment, has now become a monarchist.
He wishes to see his country again under
the sway of a king. He hopes for the
coming of thu deputies of the Supreme
Being. The deputies anointed to rule
over the people, to array themselves in
fine linen and to live in splendor in crys
tal palaces. He waits for the restoration I
of the aristocracy with its privileges and
rights. What wrought this change in a
man so brilliant, so roniising? An
eastern paper cruel 'y states that twenty
years ago there was no thought in the
young soldier's breast of wearing a king
ly crown. But now he is the hope of the
Bourbon. If France choose a king the
Count of Paris will be the chosen one.
Truly this is cruel. But it may be none
the less true. The divine rights of kinirs.
The unification of executive and legisla
tive power. The supreme control of the
revenues. These are the ideas presented
in the manifesto,-and these are sugges
tions of a selfish .heart. The increase of
power; that is the first with of a Hellish
man.
Cut without going into an examination
of the statements presented by the count
in support of his argument and nearly
all of them are mere statements without
foundation in fact and without looking
at the basis upon which he stands, name
ly, that the present form of government
is unsatisfactory to the French people,
it may be well to say that this world is
moving onward. People of the count's
present disposition, with thoughts cen
tered upon themselves are apt to think
otherwise. But it is none the less true
that thu development in Europe as wel
as in America is in the direction of the
least government.
But the Bonopartists, whom the count
did not expect to please, have viewed
the manifesto with favor, no there are
people in this country whose professions
are in line with these ideas. The labor
parties, for instance, which desire that
the government nhould own and main
tain the railroad and telegraph systems
of the continent, which asks that the
government will say how many hours a
day a man shall work, which seeks the
mediation of the government in the dis
putes between the employer and the em
ployec; the socialist who believes in the
fatherhood of the government and that
he must be supplied with cmplopmcnt,
food and clothing by tthe government
The prohibitionists who attempt to main
tain that it is the duty of thegovernmen
to fix a standard of morality and compe
each man to conform thereto. These are
some of the monarchists of this country
It would be well for all these people to
learn that government is not an engine
to gratify vanity, for the maintainance
of paupers or for the regulation of con
duct. In short there are ninny peoph
who have yet to learn that the proeessioi
is moving forward not backward. JVe

ROYAL SA LA Hits in cunCP.
A Brief Sermon Agaiiiflt Monarchical fio
eminent Big Pay for Iolns Little.
A table recently prepared shows th
royal salaries paid in Europe, and it forms
interesting reading for ihose who havo
an idea that our own government j3 COn
ducted on a wasteful 'and extravagant
plan.
Tho emperor of Russia receives $8,250,
000 per annum; tho sultan of Turkey,
0.000,000; the emtieror of Austria, $4,-
000,000; tho king of Prussia, $ 3,000,000;
the king of Italy, $2,400,000; the queen
of England, $2,200,000; the queVn of
Spam, ?1, 800,000, and the king of Bel
gium, $300,000.
What a 6ermon against monarchical
government this brief table contains,
Eight persons, men and women for
kings and queens are nothing more re
ceive each year in the aggregate $28,150,
000 for doing what? For doing nothing
that hundreds maybe thousands of
their subjects could not do just as well
and possibly much better. Some of these
monarchs get their salaries for really
doing nothing. Queen Victoria, for ex
ample, has absolutely no function to per
form except to represent in her royal per
son the idea of dominion and sovereignty.
She has no part in the government of the
country. The most irrepressible Irish
member of parliament does more and has
more to say about ruling the empire than
Victoria has; and yet because she is what
she is, the mere eidolon of a bygone au
tocracy, her loving subjects pay her over
$2,000,000 every year for her own use
and benefit.
The king of Prussia receives $3,000,000
a year as compensation for his arduous
royal duties; and when t is considered
that he is tho emperor of Germany, that
he is a man over 00 years of age, and
that the reins of government have been
for years in the hands of Bismarck, it
must be admitted that, judged by repub
lican standards, he does not earn his
salary.
Probably tho czar of Russia performs
as much or more actual labor than any
reigning sovereign in Europe. The form
of government of Russia lcing a despot
ism, the czar must necessarily center all
authority in himself and be, in fact as
well as name, the fountain and source of
all authority. But even for his duties,
irksome, multifarious and difficult though
they may be, $8,250,000 is more than
they are worth, especially in view of the
financial condition of Russia and the im
mense drain ujon her resources.
The people of the United States thought
they were doing a wonderful thing when
they increased the president's salary from
$25,000 a year to $50,000; and yet tho
larger amount is only a trifle over two
days' salary of the emperor of Russia,
while at the same time the United States
is really better able to pay the president
the czar's salary than Russia in to pay tho
czar the president's salary.
Royalty is simply an enormously ex
pensive luxury, with nothing to recom
mend it except tradition and precedent,
and the only wonder is that it can keep
its hold so long on intelligent and pro
gressive nations in this ago of the world.

WONDERS OF THE SEA.
It Great IrpthIeceptlve Wuv Tlio
I'ourr of Kvaporution.
The soa occupies three-fifths of the
surface of tho earth. At tho depth of
alxuit ,500 foot waves are not felt. Tho
temieraturo is the same, varying only a
trifle from tho ice of tho iole to tho sun
of tho equator. A mile down the water
has a pressure of over a ton to the square
inch. If a lox of six feet deep was tilled
with sea water and allowed to evajiorulo
under tho bun, there would bo two inches
of salt left on the lxttoiu. Taking the
average depth of the ocean to bo three
miles, there would lie a layer of pure salt
230 feet thick on the lod of tho Atlantic.
Tho water is colder at tho bottom than at
tho surface. In the many liays on tho
coast of Norway tho water often freezes
at tho bottom before it does aliove.
Waves are very deceptive. To look at
them in a storm ono would think tho
water traveled. Tho water stays in tho
sauio place, but the motion goes on.
Sometimes in storms these waves are
forty feet high, and travel fifty mi lex an
hour more than twice as fast as tho
swiftest steamer. Tho distance from
valley to valley is generally fifteen times
tho height, hence a wavo live feet high
will extend over seventy-five foot of
water. The force of tho d;ishing on Bell
Rock is said to Ijo seventeen tons for each
square yard. Evaj Miration is a wonder
ful iiower in drawing the water from the
sea. Every year a laj'or of tho entire
sea fourteen feet thick is taken up into
the clouds.
The winds liear their burden into the
land, and the water comes down in rain
upon the fields, to How back at last
through rivers. Tho depth of the sea
presents an interesting problem. If the
Atlantic was lowered 0,551 foot, the dis
tance from shore to shore would lie half
as great, or ,1,500 miles. If lowered a
little more than threo miles, say 19,GS!)
foot, there would lie a road of dry land
from Newfoundland to Ireland. This is
the plane on which the great Atlantic
cables were laid. The Mediterranean is
comparatively shallow. The drying up
of 000 foot would leave throe different
seas, and Africa would lie joined with
Italy. The British channel is more like a
jvnd, which accounts for its choppy
waves.
It has Leon found diflicult to got the
correct sounding of the Atlantic. A
midshipman of tho navy overcame the
difficulty, and shot weighing thirty
pounds carries down tho line. A hole is
bored through thu sinker, through which
a rod of iron is passed, moving o:isily
back and forth. Jn the end of tho Kir a
cup is dug, and tho inside coated with
lard. The bar is mado fast to tho lino,
and a sling holds the shot on. When the
bar, which extends below the ball,
touches the earth, the sling unhooks and
the shot slides of L This lard in Ihe end
of the bar holds some of the sand, or
whatever may be on the bottom, and a
drop shuts over the cup to keep the water
from washing the sand out. When tho
ground is reached a shock is felt as if an
electric current has passed through the
line. Ocean AVave.
"CuIm" Among tlie Marines.
Turks' heads and cats' faces were
probably once carved on the I)eam ends.
The purchase by which the anchor ring
is hoisted is tho ;'cat," or the cheat
(cajion). This word "cat" is a familiar
one on board ship, and further illustrates
the extensive lonst nomenclature therein
found. The "cat" is a broad beamed
pail boat with no jib, a Norwegian vessel,
and a well known instrument of punish
ment. The "cat harpings" are a part of
the topmast rigging; the "cat holes" are
apertures through which tlie "stern
fasts" are led; the "cat rack" (kattspurn)
another name for the "mast step," "cat
lap" is weak tea, a "cat nap," a short
one, a "cat's paw," a mere ruffle upon
the surface, leaving a "cat skin," and in
also a kink in a rope. The name "cat'a
hole" (trou do chat) is applied by French
sailors to the lubbers' hole (boco dc lobo,
or seal's mouth, say the Spanish), which
is aptly called "soldiers' jiassage" (sol
datengat) by German marines. When a
ship is "hogged" (i e., bowed or arque)
German sailors say she has a "cat'
back" (katzenrucken). Lieut. F.

Umbrellas and Parasols.
A Philadelphia umbrella manufacturer
says there are about 2,500,000 umbrellas
and parasols sold in this country every
year. America has gone ahead of other
nations in manufacturing them, and not
more than 10 per cent, are imiiorted.
Tlie Sheffield umbrella, however, still
leads the world. Domestic makers have
to figure very closely, and were they to
raise prices 10 per cent, the country
would bo deluged with foreign material.
It is a remarkable circumstance than only
one person has ever made any money on
any atent on an umbrella. That man is
old "Sammy" Fox, of Sheffield, Eng.,
undoubtedly the best known umbrella
maker in the world. He made the first
paragon frame, and he got a royalty
from every one made for fourteen years.
An umbrella goes through many hands
before it is sold. No one firm makes an
entire umbrella. Tho ribs and braces are
made in ono factory, the 6ticks in an
other and tho little catches that slide
along the stick in still another, while th6
silk is imported. Fashion has a great
deal to do with the business. Boston

The Club System.
This club system is growing apace in
the cities of America, and is a consider
able factor in the decline in matrimony
among tho wealthier and more aristo
cratic young men. The latter are dis
posed to contend that tho girls are all to
blame in the matter. They say that the
American girl of a certain social tjosition
enters society with a sujierHcial educa
tion; with no domestic acquirements
(which she has learned to scorn), and
with a marked propensity to expensive
and extravagant dressing and entertain
ing. "We can t afford it, is the cry ol
