distance that the miles to the yellowstone crossing for which proposals at tho the earliest moment practicable were invited the company alread already y have the money on hand for and arid it will certainly be finished that they desire to have it done early so that it may exercise a beneficial nefi cial influence on the legislation of congress next winter that an army of contractors with men tools wag wagons oils etc were waiting at ismark bismark 13 60 that tile the completion of that distance could be accomplish accomplished in a few months and that thal probably the contracts are already let and work commenced the gazette advises that steps be taken without delay to open up communication with the yellowstone crossing as that will be the nearest railroad point for helena ONE CURRENCY NOT a few look forward to the u unification ill lii fi of the human faeo so far as to anticipate ake the uso of one language all over the earth others are satisfied in their ambition for unity at present by advocating the adoption of a uniform currency at least so faras farns far fan as coinage is con corned gold coin being the standard of commercial value throughout the civilized world and the tile representative of all material values it has been proposed to hold a private conference for an coin coln coinage e at vienna in the course of next september to consider more

of a new money system mr arr A eggers consul in bremen IS remen is the tho principal agent in promoting this conference the declared object beant being to blino bling together a limited number of semiofficial semi official or private representatives of diff marent different countries to fully discuss thesus the subject eject A committee of french and man gentlemen interested in the question has been constituted and mr air eggers recently visited visited E england to induce english advocates of the question to take part in the proposed conference A private meeting was held in jhb standard office london at the tho suggestion of mr J B smith 31 P dr leone levi mr hendricks and a few other gent gentlemen leme iome n attended the principal propositions of lir mr E eggema agers as assel asset se t forth in his pamphlet die published at berlin appear to be as follows I 1 that the international coins colas should ie te of round metat met 1 weight 2 As common cominos units of value a dollar of fine gold I 1 tt 12 t 1 t 2 grammes and a coin cola of 25 grammes of sliver silver 9 10 fine 8 3 aa As nearly corresponding with the pound sterl sterile sterling ln a coin of 5 dollars or a new sovereign of 7 12 gra grammes lumes of fine gold mr E eggers agers suggests that such a gold dollar and sovereign might be conveniently first introduced in canada asvery as svery very nearly agreeing in value with the tile american american gold coinage the objections to those these propositions are thus stated it if the tho fino fine gold in the dollar weighed ono one and a half grammes the addition of 19 1 9 alloy would make mako the actual weight of the dollar 1 grammes which 13 not a round metric metrie weight there would bo be the same result with the new sovereign ot of 7 grammes line fine gold a 19 1 9 alloy w uld mako make the actual weigh weight 18 tiye flye grammes A far more serious senous objection was that the difference between the ai 7 gramme fl flue gold la in the proposed new now sovereign and 73 grammes in the exist ng sovereign i equal to 01 alb az grammes would increase the tho value ot of the sovereign more than 53 sdi adi ad which was quite inadmissible an almost insuperable obstacle to the early and common adoption however desirable of a uniform international coinage I 1 it is thought would be found in the adoption in the german empire of the 20 mark piece as the gold coin unit which contains less in value of fine gold than th anthe them ei gnand the tile recent very large issue i of that new now coinage the difficulties in the way of agreeing upon a gold unit are considered so great that until they are overcome it is thou thought bt to be almost hopeless to expect to establish in ter national coinage and therefore there is little necessity at present to discuss the question of silver coin eoin coin coln when international coin units shall shail have been determined upon each national government c can an remodel its own coin in accordance with the uniform standard adopted and sell the new coin for the old at full value each government bearing the expense of the of its own coin THE MANX RAILWAY THE railway recently opened in the isle of man alan is an object of interest for more than one reason first because it is a triumph of scientific and material progress over the stubborn insular conservativeness of the manx people and second because the railroad opened on that island is on the narrow gauge 0 principle 1 until very recently the islanders slanders J jogged boggled along in a very easy manner not much troubled with the restlessness of progress manifest among their more powerful and enterprising in g neighbors but after mr henry brougham 13 loch formerly private secretary to lord elgin assumed the governorship things took a turn energetic and able under his intelligent and vigorous administration the manx people after a while became somewhat awakened and stimulated to enterprise and the island began to 0 unde undergo ago a process of rejuvenation an attempt was made to rouse the islanders upon this railroad question in 1871 which was partially suc that was raised towards for the construction the services of mr henry vignolles a well known engineer were secured and his surveys and reports attracted the attention of E english capitalists A careful inspection of the celebrated Festin log railway 2 feet gauge and other narrow gauge railways induced mr vignolles to conclude that a gau gauge ge of three feet fee would be sufficient for nil all the requirements e quire ments 0
