THE state of New York is now practi- cally out of debt, and if the legislature adopts the recommendation of the con- troller she will owe nothing a few months hence. Well, why should not the Empire state be out of debt? Itis better than paying interest. A CONFERENCE of physicians in New York has decided that oleomargarine is not a wholesome article of food because it takes twelve times as long to digest it a8 it does to digest butter. The gov- ernor of that state has recommended that the usc of oleomargarine in the state institutions be abolished by law. THE London Spectator's view in regard to the Hawilan question is characteris- tic. Tt says that the United States may have the islands, as England would be able to capture them without any diffi- culty in the event of war, and in times of peace they wouid be as useful to her as they were under the native dynasty. There is a glimmer of reason in this view ol the case. THOSE enthusiastic people who are eager to go to the Hawailan - islands to live will do well to bear in mind the fact that the Pacific ocean is a big and lonely body of water. The stoamer City of Pekin, which recently reached San Francisco with a broken shaft, sailed 1,240 miles without sighting a vessel, and she was looking for one with a good deal of earnestnes: THOSE democratic newspapers that are mildly criticising Mr. Cleveland be- «ause he has passed over many leading lights of his party and selected some comparatively obscure men in making up his cabinet would doubtless be sur- prised if they knew all of the inside facts in the case. There is reason to be- lieve that a good many of these promi- nent democrats declined cabinet places for various reasons best known to them- selves. Pcssibly some of them thought they were too young to die politically. ONE of the principal resources of Michigan, and one to which her wealth is very largely due, is her timber sup- ply. That this must be rapidly dimin- ishing is shown by the fact that last year the output of timber from the mills of that state was 3,704,257,000 feet, val- ued at 360,000,000, and the shingle pro- duction was also enormous, amounting to $6,000,000. The lumber output was 200, 000,000 feet greater in 1892 than in 1891, and the output of shingles was also vastly increased. How many years can this go on before the state is denuded of timber? UNSEASONABLE weather has its effect on the trade of jobbing centers, as is clearly shown by the tabulated returns from the clearing houses of the great cities as vreported by Bradstreet: Nea ly the whole country has suffered through the Severe cold and storms, and other influences have had a disquioting offect on business. Omaha has been no exeeption to the rule, and shows but a slight increase in volume of trade over the corresponding week of last year, 5.7 per cent. But this is better than the decrease 1eported from some of the Gate City's less favored business competitors. THE Street RBailway Review, a journal desoted to the interests of the street railroads of the country, objects to the eriticism of the companies on account of inadequate facilities and explains that the complaints which have been common in the northern cities this winter have been due to the fact that the severity of the weather has caused many people to ride who would not ordinarily use the cars. This explanation will hardly apply to Omaha. There has been little snow in this city this winter and there have been few days when people who wished to walk could not do #0 without discomfort. The trouble has been a lack of cars to handle the natural passenger business in a satisfactory man- ner. The number of people in this city who patronize the street railway lines is growing and it is necessary that in- ereased facilities should be provided for them, especially in the morning and evening hours, during which the travel s groatost. | mark of the asylum at I | nom de = | lotte | their disposal s that ho | atisfaction that the popula- | strongly TERRIDLE IF TRU The forllowing letter directed to the editor of this paper and bearing the post- incoln reached this office a few days ago. of the writer to gi lied with in that may be called in the most publie way pos- siblo to the ¢omplaint made therein.

The coal combination, the sugar trust, the cor trust, the lead trust, the whisky trust and similar char: which are pr upon the people in contravention of law and public policy and in open and avowed dofiance of popular sentiment all under a cloud and are beginning to reap the whirlwind. It is a necessary condition of the suc- cessful operation of such unlawful ente prises as these that they should be able to command ample financial support. So long as they are left unmolested they have little difficulty in obtaining money, but when they are made defendants in a dozen courts and are the objects of restric: tive legislation on every hand it is not sur- prising that capitalists should becomo wary and refuse to take the chances in- volved in lending money upon their securities. The allied corporations have thus far met with remarkable sue in theiv 1 tance to legal proceedings brought to destroy them, but the bankers who aid them with capital are far-sighted enough to perceive that the influence of a persi tent popular demand for velief must s00n sap their strength and vender their securities worthless. When they ar no longer able to c>mmand money the must go down. When their ks b gin to depreciate the confidence of capi- talists will doubtless be withdrawn abruptly, as was the case the other day, when the Reading hustled des- perately for money and could not find it. The unloading of securities upon the public on the part of the insiders in these various has been a conspicuous feature of ent stock transactions. These men who have carried all the trust stocks they could struggle under as long as bankers would accept collateral are now glad to stand from under and escape the disaster that threatens on every hand. The power of public opinion as a means of remedy against extortion of the kind now complained of cannot be doubted. It may take years to accom- plish all that is desived, but the signs of the times afford encouragement. g evils be ren v the serious we st istence. ster in THE SILVER OOMPROMISE The measure framed by ex-Senator Carlisle, it is presumed with the ap- proval of Mr. Cleveland, intended as a compromise on the silver question, has not been received with much favor either by the silver men or the anti- silver men in congress. The general feeling regarding it appears to he, as stated by the Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, whoe infor- mation in matters of this kind is usually very trustworthy, that so far as furnish- ing a remedy for the bad effects of the present law is concerned there is nothing substantial in the compromise. This will bo apparent from an examination of the measur It provides that the secretary treasury shall set aside a quantity silver bullion now held, including the quantity already coined, sufficient to r deem the treasury notes issued against it, and shall then proceed tocoinat the rate f #3,000,000 per month the residue, which is to be turned into the treasury cash. That is, the difference between the com- mercial and coinage value of the silver bullion purchased under the act of 1890 shall be coined into standard dollars. It is estimated that this difference is about $10,000,000, so that its coinage would occupy the mints for a period of about fifteen months, during which what is known as the Sherman act would be suspended. The coinage value of the silver bullion held on February 1 was ov $133,000,000, and the amount of treasury notes outstanding is $124,000,- 000. Over thirty million standard silver dollars have been coined from bullion purchased under the act of 1890. This amount the proposed bill provides shall be set aside against the treasury notes outstanding. These notes are secured under existing law by the silver bullion at its commercial value, at pr ent 84 cents per ounce of 480 grains, while the silver ce tificates issued under the act of 1878 are represented Dy silver dollurs of 4124 grains. The measure further provides that holders of standard dollars to be PROPOSAL. of the The request | it to the public is indicate | of public opinion as a | others of | of | 'mr omm DAILY BEE: ,mmnn mmwmv 25, 1903, coined under the them at the treasy bill may exchange y for cortificates sim- ilar to those issued under the act of 1878, which are redecmable in silv Under existing law the treasury n which are redecmable in coin the commercial value of the held, The proposed compromise would reduce this measure of by making the treasury notes rep standard dollars and place them level with silver certificates. The ¢rmpromise measure means the resumption of the eoinage of the stand- ard silver dolla the suspension of the purchase of silver until we have coined all the s age bullion on hand, which it is estimated will occupy the mints for a period of about fifteen months, after which the purchase of silver is to be resumed, and the depreci- ation of the treasury notes redecmable in coin. 1t is impossible to see in what vespeet this measure would improve the financial situation, and it | not surprising that the republicans of the house promptly declared that they would not support it, or that democrats opposed to enlarging the coin- age of silver are hostile to it. The promise would issue absut 40,000,000 new silver dollars worth about 70 which would be in clear violation of the | declaration of the Chicago platform | against any new silver coin not in- | trinsically and exchangeably equal to | the gold cofn of the same denomination, | There is_no possibility of such a meas- | ure passing the present congress, and its chances will probably be no better in the next one. bullion bill ity psent on o com- nts each, WHERE SHALL WE GET THE GOLD. In view of the fact that within a short time, how short no one can predict with any degree of cortainty, the government will be compelled to fortify its gold re- | probably by issuing bonds, the question as to where the gold is to be ob- tained is obviously most pertinent. cording to the last veport of the sccre | tary of the troa the stock of gold i® the United States November 1, approximately, in round numbe 000,000, - By the same authority the n in circulation at that $411,000,000. The report of the rector of the mint, mitted to con- gress a fow d mates the stock of gold on January 1, 1893, to have been in round numhars 540,000,000, The latest informetion regavding the treas- y old reserve states the amount to be $103,000,000, the fraction being the ex coss over the amount rejuived to kept on hand for the redemption of the legal terder notes. Deducting this amount from the estimate of the director of the mint it would seem that the stock of gold in the country outside of the national treasury is $546,000,000. These figures would appear to indicate that the government should have no difficulty in obtaining all the gold noce whether by issuing bonds or exchange for legal tender notes, to meet every probable demand for specie to go abroad. With such a supply of gold in the country as is officially reported all talk about the danger of invading the permanent treasury reserve orof gold going to a premium would seem to be preposterous. Yet these things ave seriously represented to be possible under existing conditions, if not indeed | probable. It is suggested that if bonds are offered to the general publie upon the stipulation that they shall be paid for in gold the takers of them will most probably draw from the treasury itself the gold needed, and thus leave the gold fund just wheve itis. The idea Dbehind this is that there isno gold lying around in people’s pockets and money drawers which can be scraped together to the amount of $50,000,000. The banks of New York have in their possession about $75,000,000 in gold, but if they should turn two-thirds of that amount into the national treasury in exchange for bonds it would necessitate the with- drawal from public circulation of enough lawful money to make good the 25 por cent reserve they are required to keop against their deposits, and which the surrender of ®30,000,000 in gold would deplete. The effect of this would be a currency contraction detrimental to business. I'rom reports regarding negotiations with foreign bankers, which it is to ba observed may be without authority, it would seem that the treasury officials are in doubt as to whether gold bonds could be disposed of in this countr, It is said that syndicates have been formed stween New York and foreign bankers for the delivery of gold to the govern- ment in exchange for bonds. This is not incredible, and yet the probability is not great that the government could find foreign buyers under existing circum- stances for $50,000,000 of gold bonds. It is more than likely that every govern- ment »f Europe would offer a stubborn stance to the withdrawal of such an amount of gold from their banks at this time for transfer to the treasury of the United States, and in that event no great European bank or banking firm would venture upon the operation, The dilemma which the situation thus pre- sents is manifestly a most perplexi one.

There is gold endugh in the country, but will those who hold it come to the assistance of the government?

The w proposes that a bargain should be made with Spaiv, by which Spain should get possession of Gibraltar and should cede to England the Spanish possessions on the coast of Moroce which are of no value to Spain, but wh would make a good naval station. - The K lish, as is well known, have of late taken a lively interest in Morocco. It is protty safo tosay, however, that the practical considera- tons on the side of the proposed mesu would have to ba very strong inleed to in- duce the British nation to consent that their flag shall no longer wave above the famous Mediterrancan fortress. Although as a rule the attempts made in theold world to interfere with the liberty of the press meet with little sympathy this country, yet it is dificult to blame the French governmen' for its recent action in securing the enactment of a law whereby utterances either in the newspapers or on the platform calculated to incite the with- rawal of savings ‘banks deposits are de- red punishable by a heavy fine and a ma. imum term of twp years imprisonment. The administration has been forced to adopt this course, and to secufe this legislation in order to put a stop to tha recent and partially sue- cessful endeavors made by the monarchists to create a run on the savings banks with the view of injuting the republican gove ment.

Under the circumstances the drastic law dealing with the matter, and which has just boen enacted by the French Chambors, will meet with wid»spread approval, even in this great land of freedom. 2831 King Humbert of Italy, although most unaffected, simple and cord his manner d the lower classes of his subjects, is constrained, stiff and unbending d the members of the aristocracy. To the latter he rarely accords the honor of a handshake, whereas he tenders his hand vory freely to people in the humbler walks of life. The rasult is that his popularity is far greater with the masses than with the classes, the latter of whom do not hesitate to nickname him “the King of the Mar- mots,” partly on account of his Savoyard origin, and partly, too, in consequo of Ins predilection for w! the great Roman nobles are pleased to regard as “low co pany.” Possibly this attitude of the king is attributable in some measure to the fact that many of the great Roman houses, such as the Colonnas,the Massims, the Cencis and others, consider their own ancestry and lineage infinitely more illustrious and ancient than that of King Humbert, regarding the House of Savoy as of relatively modern origin and of a parvenu character. The re- sult is that they in many cases decline to accord to the king the tokens of respact dve from a subject to his sovereign, and even go so faras to decline to bow to him in the street. Of course, the king resents this and does not he e on his side to manifest a considerable amount of indifference and cold- ness toward the Roman aristocrac w*x It is announced that Lord consented to refer England’s long-standing tervitorial dispute wivh Venezuela to arbitra- tion. ‘This is only 1 go bacl to the po he took when in thifoveizn oMce during Gladstone’s former ministry, A tion weps, then unde forward condition, but Lord ne in, upset the e} o b2 D 5] the Britishpll, the while st ing their hold upsh the territory which Venezuela claimed. apd thy Venezuelans all the while protestify anl making futile threats of forcible #ésistance.
