THE surest w»y to nettle the rnouey ^question is to start thp factories.
TJBCB profound uiaeusttion of gold and silver money Is pry entertaining to men out of jobs
THERB are other things to dread besldeea rise in the priceof oil. and beef A New York department htore has re duced the price of "Trilby."
Now look out for another aggravated attack of Anglicisms among the swagger set. There is talk of the Prince of Wales making a visit to this o^intry.
IT doesn't take much1^ create a sen satioo in Evannvllle. %&. cirobs llon escaped from its cage there this week, and •cared the people out of their wits In some cities a tiger is at i&rge all the yfcar round Without 6reatlng any particular excitement
THE gold. ontuK, mU tjie silver crank will, like Othello, find triejr occupation gone when the wheel* begin to "go round" in the factories and the work shops. When these begin going round ten hours a day the financial problem* socalled, wil^settle itself.
THE regular army offloers are objecting to the shape of the new cap adopted by the war departmeut. They do not say so, but the reason probably is because the new head pieces do not accoinmo date the swelling of the nead tbat usually accompanies the donning of one of Uncle Saiu'st uni'orms.
THK reform wave has certainly struck Chicago hard. A woman has been made a garbage inspector under the ntw ad ministration and a woman, too, who was an unsuccessful bidder for tfce work she has been appointed to inspect. The successful bidder will now know w^at it is to lead a dcg'H life. «v
THE attractions of the police' depart ment are too strong even for th civil service reformer. Theodore Roosevelt, of the civil service commlasiou, !i is resigned to become a member »f tlv* police commission of New York. If he can run the New York police department like he can write and talk, it will be model. »A PENNSYLVANIA postmaster refused to forward letters because on the envel opes were written such expressions a* these: "Do you think this administra tlon has enough political acumen to fix our flnanoes?" "What this administra tion don't know about our finances would make an army mule smile." It is safe to say that that postmaster is not a hold-over from the preceding administion. He owes his job to Grover
POOB little Nioaraugua, with a popula tion of only 400,000 and an area of 51, 000 square miles is now being held up by Great Britain on account of a real or fancied insult to tho diplomatic representative of the greater power. The latter has a fleet of war vessels at one of the seaports, and will enforce the collection of the indemnity demanded. There ean never be any mistake about that country preserving its dignity, which Las a distinct commercial value, as in the present case. \.
THE man that owns California, practically, Collis P. Huntington, has been arrested in New York on an lndiotment returned In San Francisco, for a violation of the inter-state commerce law, in Issuing a free pass good beyond the confines of one state. Mr. Huntington's attorneys, who are drawing salaries from the United States government, secured the oonvlotlon of a number of American Railway Union members for the part they took in the big strike last summer because of a violation of the Inter-state commerce law. Now some attorneys who do not seem to be In the employ of the Southern Pacific railroad

We shall
now see whether or not Mr. Huntington owns the' California oourts, state and federal, aa has been openly oharged, and whether a rich railway president oan be convicted of misdemeanor the same aa a poor railway employe. Not many persons will believe that It Is poaalbfe. 38ut two troops of Indian oavalry remain in the regular army, of the eight that were orgauiaed four years ago, and one of these will be mustered out next month. The experiment has not been suooeasful one, and before long the In dian will be eliminated from the service Soldiering, of the regular army variety, is too muoh like work to the proud red man who ouoe was monaroh of all he surveyed, and be doeant like to indulge in work when he can get his board and keep free gratis from the Great Father at Washington,
A FAIR example of the extent to whioh tax evasion la oarried, was furnished In Lafayette this week, where suit was brought to enforoe the payment of taxes on property that had escaped taxation from 1881 to 1893. The aggregate amount of the property is over seven million dollars, and the olty and oounty taxes thereon will amount to a quarter of mil lion dollars. Every olty In the country oan furnish a -imilar case, although per haps not to the same extent, and no system of taxation can ever be perfect until assessors are given absolute powers in looking up sequestered personal property, which, of course, is the kind that escapes taxation.
IT is reported that the big Leland Stan ford, Jr., University, founded by the late Senator Stanford as a monument to his only son, will shortly be compelled to close its doors, there belng .no funds to pay its expenses. The Stanford millious are tied up in the oourts as areult of the suit for $15,000,000, brought by the government against the executors of the estate, and as tuition is free the university cannot be oelf-sustaining. It now has a faculty of seventy-five professors, who are said to be looking about for new positions in anticipation of the institution being olosed. There are about eleven hundred students connected with the university, and Its closing would be a calamity. A
THIB people of the United States are high livers. We eat 150 pounds of meat a year, to each inhabitant, while the pflete monarchies of the old world are able otfly to get the following amounts per heid: 118 In Great Britain, 77 in France, 64 in Germany. 51 in Russia and 26 in Italy. It is not likely tbat the people the United States have averaged 150 pounds of meat per head foij the past year, for many have gone bungr in that time who in good times ved *n the fat of the land. But in prosperous tunes, with a tariff system ibat tends to promote industry, and •ifv'es employment to American work:ngtuen ratLbr than those in foreign

IT is said the Republican leaders in the senate have agreed upon Senator Dubois, of Idaho, as the most available man in the Republican party for the vice presi deucy, no matter who may receive the nomination for the first position in the Republican national convention next year. They think his silver record would strenghten the Republican ticket in the west and south and his youth would create enthusiasm among the younger voters throughout the entire country. It is said tbat this plan was talked over and agreed upon by Repub Mean senators, and tbat so far as they are able to influence the action of the convention next year they will do so in the Interest of Dubois. It remains to be seen whether a plan agreed upon by a small ooterie of senators can be forced upon a big national convention.
H. KOHLSAAT, the Chioago baker, who buys newspapers like he buys flour for his numerous bakeries, has purchased the Chicago Times-Herald, and Evening Poet and will use them to boom MoEinley for president. Mr. Koblsaat owned the the Chicago Inter-Ocean for some time^and nnder his ownership It was made a lively newspaper, and It Is said he sold It to a gronp of Republicans who are for Mr. Harrison for president in '96. The sale of the Times-Herald and Post leaves the Democrats without an organ of reepeotabillty, in the English language, in Cook county, a somewhat peculiar condition of affairs. The Democrats seem to be In a demoralized condition in Chioago, but It Is not likely that a county that oast over a hundred thousand Democratic votes last fall will remain long withont an official mouthpiece.
THK influence of the lobbyist about state legislatures has been alarming during the past season, and In Missouri, the evil was so great that the governor in Issuing a call for a apeofal session of the legislature, gives as one of the reasons therefor the neaeesity for the enactment of legislation to prevent corrupt lobby ing. There are statutes providing severe penalties for bribery, but they do not seem to strike at the root of the evil, and a Kansas City representative has a bill that he thinks will provide a certain panacea for thia evil In the shape of a propoeed law exempting bribetakers from all criminal penalties. He claims that after an exhaustive Investigation In
Missouri and other states he finds that the bribery law la a dead letter, for the reason that the bribegiver and bribe* taker are held to be equally guilty, and under such circumstances a oonviction Is ont of the qusetlon. Another argu
mm
ItppSBS •f -i
ment In favor of this law is $*t bribe takers would make Die a burdsA to bribegivers by blaokmaUtnfr them, and otherwise wdtildf make the business unprofitable as well as exceedingly dangerous. This feature very muoh resembles |h« provision In our election law, that a man that aella his vote may reoovar damages from the man tbat purcbaaes It, a provision ibat puts a premium on dishonesty. There doesn't seem to be any reason why a bribetaker ore Wan that sells his vote, shotfld be exempt from criminal oonsequences, as Invariably, in either naae, he Is far worae than the bribegiver or the man that purchases the vote. To puni*h one and free the other for a crime In which both equally participate seems to be legislating in favor of a very unworthy person.
THE Southrons do not take very kindly to the suggestions, coming chiefly from the Nohb, that the South sbouTd be given the Demooratlq Presidential nomination next year. Perhaps they believe that there is nj»t muoh ohance for the Democratic candidate next year It is worthy of note that since 1844 the South has had no candidate for the preatdunoy, exoept in I860, when the split in the party enabled the Northern and Southern wings eacfet to have a candidate in Stephen A. Douglass and John C. Breokenrldge and this despite the fact that the South has furnished the bulk of the Democratic vote atoTthe majority of the men of that faith who pretend to statesmanship. The presidents from 1»01 to 1825 Inclusive, were Southern men, as was the oase from 1829 to 1837, and in 1844 the successful oandidate, Polk, was a Southerner. Slnoe then the North has furnished the candidates although it has given the minority of votes In each race It would seem tbat by lbng and continuous servioe in the ranks of the faithful the South is entitled to some recognition at the hands of the powers that be*. I
IT costs abjut a million dollars a day to run this government of ours, or $365,000,000 a year. The loss of about #16,000,000 by the decision of the supreme oourt regarding the income tax, means therefore that some means will have to be devised to raise money to run us for a period of sixteen days during the oomlng fiscal rear. The receipts of the government from all sources formerly amounted to more tban the expenses. From 1866 to 1893 the government business was run at a profit eaoh year, varying from $2,300,000, the lowest ligure, to #145,000,000 profit, the highest figure in one year. The latter -figures were reached in 1882 The profit derived by the government from excess of revenue was applied to the reduction of the national debt?, and from 1866 to 1893 this redtiotion was $1,200,000,000. In the fiscal year of 1894 (all treasury accounts are based on fiscal years ending on July 1) the government sustained a loss of $70,000,000—the first deficit of the kind eince the close of the civil war. The change did not result from increased expenditures by the government or unusual de mands upon the. treasury, but from an abrupt and serious falling ofif in the revennes due to the reductions made by the Wilson tariff bill. The income tax was adopted to offset the loss brought aboutby the Wilson bill, buteven should the figures of the treasury as published prove to be accurate, and should the income tax collection go on without interference by the courts, the entire revenue from this unpopular tax will fall very far short of making up the deficit, which not only now confronts the treasury, but seems likely to grow during the next two years. It would appear there will be a great deal more bond selling before the present administration steps down and out. It is tfi?e only way to raise revenues unless the president will permit, by bis signature, the passage of a bill the present congress, which, unless called does not meet until December, by whioh the tarift duties will be raised.
