It now appears ent administration in policy of holding intact tin gold re serve and meeting the nation';, obli gations in that metal which is at oar the world over. Crisp on tb" other hand magnifies the whi.e melal and would open our mints to its coinage at 10 to 1. We wait with intense anxiety the impending contest, i'kich speaker has given his best energies to the study of the question, and v. lien the joint debates are over we doubt not that the people shall be better in formed. Still, the on stion will re main in the balances, unsettled. Crisp wishes to succeed the gallant , Gordon in the senate of the I'nitcd States, and thinks he is on the popu lar side. This he may be, but lie wiil find many a Knight ready to buckle on his armour and place lance in n M. The pri;:e is a great one, Crisp’s r*. ord as speaker is in his favor, bui we i that she lias been preparing for this move some time. We may be-sure it is in England’s interest. If Italy is helped ii will !>:• because it is in the line of England’s promotion. How soon the political sky changes. Only a few short weeks past and William of Germany was pouting at England’s attitude in Southern Africa. Mow a fellow feel ing makes him v.oraierous kind, while i’rance looks on with wistful eyes and can only protest against the course of events. More territory is needed, and while the war spirit is everywhere rampant is a good time luo s c. - verily believe that the side paused lias seen »'.« be. t days, am: even Crisp cannot keep the tide from falling.

Not to be Trifled With. (From Cincinnati Gazette.) Will people never learn that a “cold” is an accident to bo dreaded, and that when it occurs treatment should be prompty applied? There is no knowing where the trouble will end ; and while complete recovery is the rule, the exceptions are terribly frequent, and thousands upon thous ands of fatal illnesses occur every year ushered in by a little injudicious exposure and seemingly trifling symptoms. Beyond this, there are to day countless invalids who can trace their com plants to “colds,” which at t he time of occurrence gave no con cern. and were therefore neglected.— When troubled with a cold use Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
