THOUGH approving in principle she adoption of
■ gold standard in Japan, the Nicht Nicht con- demns the Government's procedure ai open to the charge of bastiness, and for that reason is -obliged to oppose the contemplated change. Our contemporary enumerates four measures which, to its oplaton, should be laken as preliminary essentials to settling the question. In the art place, Special Committee must be re-appointed to examine the problem. A Monetary Investiga- slon Committee appointed four years ago, during the Ito Cabluet's tenure of power forwarded i report of its deliberations in July, 1895. The majority of the Committee were then opposed to 'may change in the currency system. Circum. stances are very different now from what they were then, and li fa necessary to appoint another Special Commliter, as the old one no longer exists. In the second place, negotiations should beopened wlib neighbouring countries and with countries in the Ocelden', the former with the view of persuading China and others to adopt the gold standard, and the latter with the view of ascertafalng the opleton of the Western world ́about the currency question, la general and the contemplated change of the Japanese currency in particular. Japan most endeavour to be in close fir ancial touch with Europe and America In the matter of currency and to that end the use of gold is essential, gold being, after all, a universal medium of exchange the world over. Thirdly, Government Loans must be re-adjusted before changing the monetary system, for there is no reason why Japan should pay interest at the rate of per cent og her--bonds alter the gold standard is adopted. Fourthly and lastly the most careial researches should be carried out before fixing the ratio between gold and silver, so that whatever figure is least liable to fluctuation may be obtained. The Government's plan of fixing the ratio at I of gold to 3a of silver cannot be considered a wise decision, ismuch as it artificially reduces aliver to a pilce of 100 yen’as against gold that is really worth only 197 to 193 yrs. Unless all these preliminary nalets be conscientiously attended to, the Nickt Nicht cannot being said to approve of the Government's plan.

THE RIVER QUESTION.
The question of our river navigation is being taken up vigorously by the BM.C., and if the French Council and all the Coosals support them sigorously there is good reason to belleve that the old and better condklons "of the river can again be restored.

He staled that Barato contained an area of 363,600 square miles, and was, next to Austra la, the largest faland in the world. Coal was found in great abundance on the north-west coast and la the south-east portion of the Island. The Lobaan con! burned with very little staking, and was greatly in favour with sailors, as it made no dirt or dust when belog shipped. There were to accumulations of fire-damp or other noxlo gasez in working it, and, of course, this was a very great advantage. The geolo⚫ical structure of the island has not yet been fully examined, but it was evident that its coalfi:ids were at very recent formation as compared with thoan of England. The seas on all sides of Borneo effered an inviting feld for the naturalist, and the fans of the island was very large and lateresting.
