Will any free born American citizen submit to an indignity similar to that imposed upon heathen Chinamen by the Geary law. FIFTEEN hundred attempts at laws were made by the Minnesota legislature during the session just elosed, an aver- age of eight or nine apicce for each member. No wonder the people are glad that the session is over. ORGIA has a “'land developing com- pany," backed by northern ecapital, which will go extensively into diver- sified farming and will pay a good deal of attention to fruits. Georgia is one of the few southern states that have ideas that are up to date. A SUNFLOWER nine feet in diameter will be painted on one of the interior walls of the Kansas building at the ‘World's fair, and in the center will be the words, “'Prohibition in Kansas.” A bootleg would be a more suitable em- blem of the kind of prohibition that pre- vails in Kansas, THE formation of Good Government clubs in New York for the purpose of influencing the administration of public affairs is an cxample that might be prof- itably followed clsewhere, Bad govern- ment is everywhere due in great measure to the indifference of citizens in respect to the conduct of municipal affal THE mockery of the new administra- tion of the weather burean is being illus- trated just now. Aside from the rude winds, over which Mr, Morton evidently can exeorcise no control, the cold spell is ominously bad for growing crops, and the chill, snowy atmosphere of the past few days is enough to give a Polar bear the ague.

The distrust of thom which he then felt has undoubtedly remained, and it may have besn wt inten- sified sincd of the treasury by the belief he is said to entertain that the wkers of Wall street ave in conspivacy to foree him to issuc bonds, [t is possible that the sec- rotary is mistaken in this belief, but he is not alone in entertaining it. and it will be remembered that the precedin administration held a similar view. ident Harrison was firmly convineed at there was a eonspiracy of street bankers against the treasury and he persistently refused to make any con- cession to them. Secretary Carlisle may be in of information firmatory of this view. It m be freel admitted that there is much unwurranted prejudice against Wall street. Greed and selfishnoss are undoubtedly the con- trolling motives the as they are in all centers of financiat activity, but there is not a total lack of patriotism and of concern for the welfare. A common incentive governs, for the most part, the operations of the vast interests which center in Wall street, but these interestsare compelled to give some consideration to others which are essential to their maintenance. Wall street cannot lose sight of the rest of the countr) But so far as the govern- ment neerned there is a strong and very general popular feeling that it should have no alliance with Wall street. For thirty years or longer the financial polic; been practically dictated from source. Every secrotary of the treasury during that period has gone there for counsel and has followed more or closely the advice given him.

If the present secretary of the treasury has determined to give some attention to it and to look where for suggestions as toa financial policy, he will get a large popular ap- proval. The probability is, however, that Secretary Carlisle will be governed very largely, if not altogether, by his own judgment of what ought to be done, and what can be done within the lim- itations of his lawful authority. else- DANGERS OF INFLATION. The present financial crisis in Aus- tralia, which is so serious as to threaten the bankruptey of the several coloniul goyernments and the financial ruin of a at number o corporate enterp and private individuals, affords a strik- ing example of the dangers which at- tend overtrading and extravagant specu- lative operations. The inflation of values far beyond the limits of reason and the persistent endeavors of land boomers to ereate by sheer force what can never be created hut by the process of natural growth and development, have plaved an important part in bringing about this general collapse. The colonial banlks have allowed themseives to be in- fluenced by the popular excitement, and have lent their support to the bromers to such an oxtent that many of them have been wrecked, involving losses which amount far Not only did the natural re- sour wild spi ment of high secured deposits into the millions. embark their own s in backing this speculation, but by the p; rates of interest they of millions of pounds from England, which went to swell the sum required to sustain decoptive fabrie which the of the people had created. is sh imagination The bubble ttered now, many of the banks ruined and the country is the po many millions of dollavs, though, por- haps, the loss is offset to come degree by the valuable gained.

This is especially true as to Brazil, so that it is safe to that whenever this government notify the Brazilian government of its desire to terminate reciprocity there will be no objection made. Aban- donment of the arrangement with Spain might not be 5o easy, but there are in- torests in that country which eagerly it.

Reciprocity may not have yet accom- plished as much as was expected from it, the statistics of sed trade divectly traceable to that policy conclu- sively show that it is not a sham. It not in accord, however, with democratic ideas of how American commerce should be extended, and it is highly probable that notbing of the policy will remain in practical effeet when the present admin- istration goes out of power. vals incres THE supreme nmnt of Kansas has lately handed down m that brings insurance companies doing b in a state other than the one in which they weve organized under the provisions and regulations of pre- hibiting trusts and combinations.
