People who not in the habit of reading statistics will find In the facts set forth fu the aununl report of the treasurer of the United States a simple statoment that Is exceedingly Instruct ive. In the tirst place they will find, as & striking evidence of national pros perity, that for the fiscal year ended last June the revenues of the govern ment were the largest in the history of the country. With the exception of « single month, the first iu the fiscal year, the receipts of the government execceded the expenditures, Another iuteresting fact in this report fs that the aggregate amount of mor In eirculation on October 1, 1900, was larger by more than $180,000,000 than fifteen months before, the per capit having grown in that period from $2 to $27. @ greater amount, 10, $10.60 of which was In gold the total of gold Is greater than all the cirenlation at any time previous to Jul, 1§ This fact which practical wen will do well to think of, he in the gold supply has had stimulating effect upon prices, which seems to justify the quantitative theory of money and is held so to do by the free silver advocates, but would the silver policy have et in the absence of an enlarged gold supply?

Republican monetary policy is recelving satisfs vindication THEIR DUUBLE RES The republican candidates for state oftices who have been elected to take the places of the present populist offi- clals have a responsibility not only to the people, but a special responsibility to their party as well. On their fafthful and efcient perform- ance of duty the party will be judged, and the records which they will mak during the coming twb years will de termine largely whether the party will continy lLold publiec contidence, necessary to keep it In the ascendant. While have no fear that any of the newly elected candidates will prove forgetful of their duty or obligations, it may not be out of y to recall that the of republican prestige in the past in Nebraska is to be ascribed prin cipully to the misdeeds of recreant pub lie officials who have turned their backs upon all pledges s soon as they read their titles to office clear, from currency which ing tory PONSIBILITY to to we t loss own Is for Its representatives to ki strict faith with the people and to give the state an administration that in point of lonesty and efficienc, plaint and Is above com in point of economy com parable with any that has gone before. This responsibility upon the incoming state officers n neither be shifted nor evaded. On the contrary, they will be called to account at the close of their terms and if the record 18 ereditable will undoubtedly be given popular en dorsement, while failure to meet the responsibility would reflect not only | upon the derelict officer, but also upon the party which stands sponsor for him. By giving the people an unimpeuch able state administration the party can be strengthened and its su premacy indefinitely prolonged. resting What does the supreme ¢ asking Attoruey General Smyth to try g bond ecuse agaim before ne goes ont of office, thus absorbing taleuts that should directed to the smashing of the trusts?

And when the people came to find out just what “Hauvaism” is, they found that it meaut simply common business sense applied to the practical and honest administration of affairs. And that is just what takes with the American people. It is just the opposite of Bryanism, which is all theory and sentimental cant and fus- tian, and that is why they Infinitely prefer Hannaism to Bryanlsm.

We need not say, of course, that all this bungling bloodshed and mutilation hos been achleved by the very nlcest and most select city people, who look down with scorn upon “provincialg” and find in the contemplation of simple rustics nothing but a shudder.

"I‘III(' Influen ocial Life of Communities, Indlanapolls Journal A convention has just been held at Wash- ington composed of men whom Mr. Br calls plutocrats, monopolists, enemies of labor, ete. It was a convention of the New England Cotton Manufacturers’ assocla- tion, amd the 100 members present represented capital amounting to nearly $60,000,000 invested in the great textile | manufacturing establishments ot New Eng- land. Many if not most of these concerns are incorporated and (herefore come under Mr. Bryan's denunciation of all corpora- tions. Of course, everybody of ordinary intelligence knows that the proprictors and managers of these great establishments brains, capita labor, industry, thrift and all the best elements of Ameri- can citizenship and are not public enemies, as Mr. Bryan paints them. At the meeting in Washington Hon. Carroll D. Wright, meut in Soclal Life,” fn which he advanced some interesting views. Mr. Wright, it may be remarked, has made a study of socfal and economic conditions for thirty vears, and i the highest muthority in the country on such questions. The central \dea of his paper was that great industrial establishments, ingtead of exercising a deterlorating influence on communities and people, as is commonly supposed, operato exactly the other way, and are really agents of advancoment and civilization, lifting up the social life of the people.
