The Presidential Election and Recognition.

The year 1912 has been do soribed as "the most mem ›rable in Chinese history," but that which is now rapidly drawing to

close deserves to rank as scarcely less important. It his soon the struggle between North and South run its course; a struggle almost sa formidable as the so called..

"bloodless revolution

which unsented the Manohus, sad certainly no lesa bitter and costly... For a time the rock upon which the young republic was built was shaken to its foundation, and even strong supporters of Ynan Shih-kai wavered as to his ability to wear down the impetuous on- slaught of young and ambitious politicians who sought to wrest the power from his hands or divide the country into two separate entities, or, failing either of these plans, to induce

The traits Dollar.

The slump in the price of rub- ber with all that this means to ~ the large planting community in the Federated Malay, States and the Settlements has raised the question of the advisability of fiting the Straits dollar at 2/ instead of 2s 4., as it is at pre- ent. The 2/4 dollar, observes a nobody earning a living in that writer in Malaya, seems to please part of the world, except a few. Europeans who send money for the support of absent wives and children. There is a great deal of force in the views of one cor- respondent, who submits that the rupee is the best currency systern. for the Malay States and the Straits Settlements. The greater.. part of the trade of these States, it is poiuited out, is not with Chios, but with Europe, and if a foreign country possessing at

present no stable currency system and abilities with our Indian

East elsewhere that it requires no

recommendation. It is only necessary to notify that the

Professer Werner Sorn. bart, of Berlin, sets out to answer

the question in his "The Jews

Professor Sombart, who is a literary artists as well, as a scientist, and has little in common with the Prussian Dryesdust" of a generation back except range and depth of learning, adduces plenti. ful statistics as to the activities of Jewish Anancies in his own country.
