Studying the Financial Question. The Star recently commended the re- ported purpose of Mr. Bryan to visit Europe and study the financial question in goki standard countries. ion that he would greatly benefit from such @ trip, and would become a more interest- ing man in the next presidential campaign, whether he should be nis party's presiden- tial candidate again or not. It pointed out that the financial question was of world- wide import, and that even if Mr. Bryan and his friends should decide to hold on to their contention about an American finan- cial policy, its most eloquent champion could provide himself with new illustrations by foreign observations. It is now announced that early i July, Senators Pettigrew and Cannon and ex- Senator Dubois—all Bryanites in the mat- ter of finance-—will sail for China and Ja- pan to study the meney question from the Oriental standpoint. The Star commends that. too. The purpose is wise, and it is to be hoped that the distinguished trio wili prosecute their inquiries thoroughly. In Japan they will find bus conditions just emerging from the domination of the silver standard and falling under that of the gold standard. That ought to be a very valuable field for them. Then, in China, they will find business still under the domination of silver—silver supreme, and working for better or for worse in ihe affairs of four hundred millions of people. It they do not garner some big sheaves there it wiil be a surpris So here we have a di: confess inct and practical nm from the silver leaders that the financial question is not a local question; that it is worth one’s while to examine it in its larger relations. They are dividing up the world, with this end in view. Mr. Bryan, with characteristic dash, is to move on Europe and beard the shylocks in their gilded dens. He will examine for himself right at their very doors how the gold men turn their tricks. Meanwhile, Messrs. Pet- tigrew, Cannon and Dubois will be on the other side of the world inspecting the bene- ficent operations of a silver currency, and ing themselves with fr Sas how lovely everything in the United States would be under pigtail brokerage and pub- lie credit. Mean sioners, also, the Bimetallic Commis- are already abroad, will be prosecuting their researches, and will bring back with them some sug: ions as to the tallic side of the question.

In one report of the caucus it appears that the explanation of Mr. Aldrich “seem- ed to cause general satisfaction; at least no one quesiioned the senator furthe: It that is irue the Rhode Isiand senator got off more easily than he is likely to do when the schedule com up for debate in the open Senate. He will have questions enough propounded to him then. There are senators on both sides of the chamber whose iosity on this point will not be 60 easily satistied, and who are of opinion that the Sugar Trust benefits most decided- ly by the Senate subcommittee’s schedule. see It must be conceded ths Havemeyer has been a great deal more.active in the refirement of sugar than he has in ¢<h finement of politics. oo ‘The Normal School System. Altogether commendable is the action of the Board of Schooi Trustees as to the Ncermail School. For several yeurs that school has done exceedingly well, but the results achieved have come despite many difficulties, not the least of which was a subdivision of the faculty with the neces- sarily-attendant wastefulness of operation. Other hindrances to progress have been the lack of library and laboratory facilities such as are common enough in schools of much less consequence than that which is devoted to the training of the young men nd young women whose later work as teachers is to leave lasting impress for geod or il The Normal Schoo! 1s pre- eminently important in our public school system. If there is weakness in the Nor- mal School, it wiil turn out weak teachers. ‘The consequences of weak tea ching must @t once be apparent. Yet it is undoubtedly true that the Washington Normal School has been neglected; not, perhaps, to an eiarming extent, but neglected neverthe- less. Until quite recently the Normal School course of instruction was all con- -re- .

Yet there was spposition— | some of it, oddly enough, professtonal--to a two-year normal course, and for awhile the plan cf betterment was in danger. The common sense of the Board of Trustees prevailed, however,-and we may henceforth look for improvement in the teaching qual- ities of our Normal School gradua‘s. The next important step in this very im- pertant matter was taken by the Board of Trustees at its recent meeting, when it was decided to place the Normal School in one building. At the present time—as for years—the school fs in two sections; ore at the Franklin Building, the other at the } Dennison Building. The Superintendent: of Schools insisted upon an additional subdi- vision. The trustees have resolved to abol- ish all the subdivisions and have declared | decisively that from and after the begin- ning of the forthcoming school year the Nermal School shail be contained in a sin- gie builaing. The wisdom of this conclusion —by which expensive muHiplication of teachers and plants is avoided, while all of the students get all that is best of the en- tire faculty—becomes conspicuously appar- ent when note is taken of the fact that the Henry Building will probably be selected. Situated in close proximity to the Central High School, the Henry Building possesses especial advantages; the High School library, laboratory and apparatus are at the service of the Normal School pupils until the coming of that time when Con- gress shall properly equip the Normal School. In all this work of reform there will be no disturbance of the children in the grade schools; the upper grades of the Henry wil transter with the lower grades of the Polk, which is less than a hundred feet away. Altogether, it is a happy solu- tion of an interesting if not a difficult probiem. ——_+ += It is stated that it will take the govern- ment only thirty minutes to prove its case against Messrs.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 23.—All the facts have now come out in regard to the absorp- ! on of stock in the Watsonville beet-sugar factory by Claus Spreckels and the sugar trust. Outside helders, who were ail friends of Spreckels, had 750 shares out of 10,000. They paid $100 a share and had received in dividends $117 for each share. Naturally | they were not anxious to sell such lucrative stock, which probabiy paid better dividends than anything {in this country except Standard Oil, but about the time of John E. Searles’ visit here they were asked by reckels to sell to him their holdings at $00 a share. E. J. Moiera held 200 shares and Louls Sloss, sr., Leon Sloss, Samuel Sussman, J. L. Koster and the Tubbs es- tate each held 100. Dr. Buckley had fifty shares. _ Several of these men demurred to Spreck- els’ request, despite the fancy price offered, but the old sugar millicnaire replied with the significant threat that their business wouid suffer if they refused to oblige him. They took the hint, and sold. The object of this calling in of outside stock was to prevent the danger of any small stockhold- ers asking to inspect the books. Now that the Sugar Trust is a large owner of the stock the price of beets at Watsonville, as well as at Chino, will be fixed by it, and there will be no appeal by farmers, nor can they secure any facts about profits of the factories. ‘ The freezing-out of these sugar factory stockholders has caused much discussion here, as it is held to police othe mean an aggressive The mess Situation. New York Correspondence Philadelphia Press. ‘There seems to be a common agreement here on the part of intelligent men that nothing but the delay in Congress in act- ing upon the tariff bill stands in the way of business activity. .
