World 2 00 WEDNESDAY MARCH 9. 1S9S FMEXDLY OPIXIOXS. After nil, the Briton, stnnilins on Lis native soil, is a belter friend to the United States of America than iiio uiiitn.livprprt nnaloipaniac of American birth. Tbe degenerate American who apes British airs can see no good thing in America; to bim American politics is rotten, American goods worthless, American art crude, American life vulgar. Even the distant sound of "trumpets Wown for wars," in which his coun try may be called to take part, (toes not inspire him with patriotic feeling. He derides our army ns it passes in review, and he sneers at our navy as a feeble thing. The un-American American is the most despicable of God's cieatures; if, indeed, copperheads,, and moral invertebrates be among God's crea tures. The Briton who is interested in his own country is, perforce, in terested in all countries, for the British empire is nothing if not colo nial nnd diffusive. He is interested in the United States because this re public borders on Canada. He is interested in France and German' because their possessions border on British possessions in Africa. He is intesested in Russia because Russia is his neighbor and rival in Asia. lie cannot afford to underrate the navy of any of these powers because at any moment he may be called upon to contend with it. He is a cool, and. on the whole, an impartial judge of the values of the armed forces of the world. Hence the opinions of the ship builders and torpedo boat makers have value. In the opinion of these competent and certainly unprejudiced judges our navy, ship for ship, is ns good ns any afloat, that of Britain not excepted. Indeed, Mr. Allan, one among the greatest of British ship builders, expresses a doubt as to whether Great Britain has a warship of the same cruiser class equal to our Columbia. Both Mr. Allan and Mr. Tweddle bear testimony to the ad mirable character of our seamen, and Mr. Allan speaks of them as men able to make short work of an equal number of Spaniards in a naval en- engagement. And Mr. Allan says: 'I am ready to lay a woger that the United States will have every town on the .Spanish coast blown to atoms a month after the commencement of hostilities," It is pleasant to hear such encour asinj' words from men whose fathers have fought on land nnd sea against our fathers, but who themselves are our friends. In these days, when every crawling copperhead hisses 'Jingo!" as soon ns a spirited word is spoken by an American, it is com fortable to know that a foreign and critical, though friendly, nntion has confidence in our ability and admi ration of our coumgc to defend our rights nnd our honor. Inter-Ocean. Russia is benefiting by the gold ftandard. According to the official statement of M. do Witte, the minis ter of finance, the cold coin in cir culation has incrensed from 37,000, 000 roubles in 1 890 to 155,000,000 at the close of last year. Meantime tbe paper currency has been reduced to tbe extent of 122,000,000 roubles. Tbe Russian circulation is now com posed of gold, 1,470,000,000; sil ver, 102,000,000, and paper 999,000, 000 roubles. It follows that Russia has now 47 per cent more gold than paper. Russia has pursued the pol icy recommended here by Secretary ToWiOQ the Gage, nnd, ns the result, her llnan- 'tx " cinl position is strong and sound. ( No wonder that Minister de Witte "i-xiirr.sses ureal nride in the results . j t. . of the adoption of the gold standard. The annual expenses for the cur rent fiscal year are estimated ai! 441.000,000. This slate of things; calls for prudent, sound financial j management in order to maintain j our credit at home nnd abroad, j There is no place for the partial re vival of "tintism" or for nny experi-j ments of that kind. The public, burdens of the general government J ate heavy enough. It would be sheer folly to add to them the fur ther issue of paper currency.

Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus tachian Tube. When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and nnless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cbsjs out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous sur faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness caused oy catarrh; that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars ; free. F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo, O.
