IT is a little over six months since Judge tJfolY took charge of the govern ment land otllco , yet in that brief period l\o \ has displayed uncommon acth ity and usefulness.

TIIHHK is no excuse or justllicatlon for the leniency shown by state olllclals In enforcing the banking law. The law was designed to protect the people from irivsponslblo concerns. It was Intended as a safeguard for depositors by provid ing for frequent examinations by compe tent accountants into the condition of the hanks. No financial Institution hon estly conducted can object to the reason able requirements of the law , joj , the fact Is notorious that its provisions have been evaded or entirely ignored. Exam inations h-ivo been made by state bank examiners , and the capital nnd Mtcuritlo.s of the bank made to conform to some extent to the law , but this Is about all that has been ac complished. The Important provision requiring bankn to mtvko not lu.sj tlrm thivo reports annually of their condition and publish a summary of such reports In local now ( .papers has not boon com piled with. In view of this condition It Is wprUiy of note that the atuto b inking board has been aroused to action. The iafotof depositors as well as public jecurit ) iluimuul that the law bo rigidly enforced and the penalties visited upon thoao who fall to ubaorvu Its provisions. Kvery preuKuthvi should bo taken to protect thu jKioplo from rocklo.ss concerns - corns Uko the i which robbed hundreds In 1S88. /MUIMA7' Abrnlmm Lincoln once declared , "you can fool nil of the people f-omo of the tinio. and some of the peoplonllthotlme ; but you rnnnot fool till of the people till the time. " The fools nro not nil dead yet , und hence It Is easy 'for political mountebanks to Impose on the credulous doctrines alxnit finance and currency which are as Impracticable and visionary as was the Holland bulb mania of the last century. AH u sample brick of the flat virus with which the Ignorant money quacks are trying to Inoculate tholr dupes , the following from n local contemporary is reproduced : As n lnrfo ? majority of thinking , unpreju diced men , of all pintles , ( i rro that we hiivo paid Interest on the bonded debt of thU nation ( now amounting to about f 1,700,000- 000) ) long enough without the lite of the money the bond represents as a clrculutliiR medium , mid demand Us Immediate payment la absolute money gold , Oliver nnd pupcr u direct Issue of the United States govern ment , that It may aid In Increasing the volume - umo of money necessary for the wants of the people. It takes just auch bold and barefaced imposture to unsettle the minds of pco- plo who are not posted as to the actual condition of our national finances. On the first day of April the comp troller of the United States treasury certllled Hint the interest-bearing public debt amounts to eight hundred and two millions one hundred and twenty-two thousand 11 vo hundred and thirty-two dollars. Of this amount sixty-four mil lions represent the bonded debt of the Pacific railroads , on which the govern ment is an endorser. So that instead of seventeen hundred millions the bonded debt of the government at the present time i'J seven hundred and seventy-eight millions This debt never can bo converted into a circulating medium by the govern ment. But the flat quack does not simply exaggerate the national debt by nearly ono thousand millions. Ho proceeds lo apply bis patent nostrum for restoring prosperity in the following fashion : "How will you not the money into circula tion , and In the hands of the people , which the government would pay to the present owncrof the bonds ? " The only answer needed Is that the money would go into circulation In the sumo manner that the national bank bills nnd gold nnd silver is now placed In cir culation. The owners of it would loan it on good personal notes , real estate and chattel securities , to llmso who deslro tauso it em ploying labor and purchasing the products of labor tlio iinne-i. the factories and the farm. This isory ingenious and I'eter Sim ple is expected to swallow Hint fiat dose at ono gtili ) . I > ut every intelligent person - son Unit will rcllect for a moment must realize what rot this crank is trying to palm oil on the producers who are in want of moio ready money. In the first place the government can not compel the bondholders to surrender their bonds before they mature. A gov ernment bond is ii mortgage and cannot bo paid otT before it is duo. Tlio only chance to got the bonds would bo to pay the premium which they command in the market. But many of these bonds are held as trust funds by life insurance and trust companies for orphans and estates. Some are held by various states as investments for school funds. Ono thlid perhaps aie held as investments by capitalists in England , Germany , Holland and Franco. Less than 120por couture held by the national banks , who are surrendering them very rapidly and withdrawing their bank notes from ciieulation. But btipposo that the goveinment could redeem till its bonds at pleasure what would bo the ofleet ? The total cash in the United States treasury , in cluding gold , silver , greenbacks and silver certificates on the first of April was a fraction less than six hundred and thirty millions , or ono hundred and forty- eight millions less tlfan enough to pay olT the entire bonded debt. Suppose then that the government dumps out every dollar now in the treas ury , where would the money go to ? One-third of that money would flow to the bondholders in Kurope , which would drain this country of gold and actually decrease our fund of coin by perhaps ono hundred and fifty millions. Tlio balance of the purchase money rctili/ed by bond holders would go to the money lenders of the country. How would the farmer bo bonellttcd by Unit ? Mean time the national treasury would bo empty. Specie payments would bo at an end , and instead of u surplus to meet ap propriations for public buildings , harbor defenses , pensions and the building of war ships , wo would have : i deficit that would compel a revival of stamp duties and war taxes. But the fiat money maniac cannot see beyond bis nose. Ho wants the govern ment to create money out of nothing and distribute it for nothing. uv KXJ.W// ; man .UIUOAD. The Argent Ino Republic is on the verge of what threatens to bo a most serious - rious financial crisis. Gold bus reached u premium of three hundred , the effect of an enormous Inflation of pa par currency , and a general collap-to appears to bo in evitable. The government , whoso wild financial policy Is responsible for the ox- istlng state of titTahv , Is intensifying the dllllcullics of the hltuatlon by making heavy reductions In expenditures and suspending girirantoai mil conces sions to now undertakings which would Increase present obligations. It is pro posed to at once Institute a policy of contraction. The Issue of mortgage bonds , of credit paper and all exterior loans are to bo suspended , and banks of Issue will not bo allowed to Increase their note circulation , while the issue * made will bo diminished. A general labor strike is apprehended , and all elas-.es of business are pi-tut rat oil , the land and stock speculatorb suITerlng the severest from liquidation. Tlio explanation of this con dition of iiiTair-s is in the polluy of reckless Inflation ami oxtrnvaganoo that has prevailed. Kor .several years the Argentine Hopubllo hits apparently boon i the most pnwpjrons country of South America. Enterprises of all kinds have been pushed with great vigor , do\olopment has been urged forward with little regard to cost , public Im provements have been advanced on an extravagant scale , and the government bus oucouragoa Immigration by the most liberal Inducements. Thin high pressure progress demanded u steadily lncrea' < lng supply of cur rency , nnd the government ss-ent on issuing depreciated paper , every fresh is.-iuo of svhleh necessarily decreased the value , or purchasing poss-or , of the whale volume. In n fosv yearn the government trebled its oss-n debt mid by Its example niiulo the eotitraulioti of debt popular. Everybody svho owned anything that could be hypothecated borrowed money on it. The American consul tit Huonoj Ayres , in a report to the sUlo depart- meiit u fesv months ago , said that probably there Is no country in tlio world svhero Iho hypothecation of real cs tute-pro vails to n greater extent than there. It seemed to bo a part of the economic system , and pervaded the en tire superstructure ot the government. The government looked upon the hy pothecation of property as something to bo fostered , encouraged and assisted , und os-eii makes tlio business a national mat ter. Tlio Argentine congress established by lasv a great national mortgage bank , svhoso special function is to mtiko loans oil the hypothecation of real estate. The operations of this institution extend to all portions of the republic. As only real oslato cttn bo mortgaged and per sonal property can only bo pledged or pasviied , the government , in its paternal concern for the convenience of the people , also engages in the pasvnbroking busl- Under this pernicious financial system Iho contraction of debts ss-as carried to the greatest possible excess , and as must inevitably bo the case witli bitch a sys tem , Iho sittualion grosv steadily from bad to wor.ic. Credit ss-as expanded be yond nil safe limits , overtrading and speculation ran riot , the inflation of a depreciated currency created a cor responding iiilliition of tlio prices of all property nnd commodities , and this un natural and unhealthy financial and business condition svas mistaken for sub stantial progress and prosperity. The Argentine government did address it self last year to the task of discovering what course had hotter bo pursued in order to avert a catastrophe , but the disease had bjcoun so general and deep seated that the only safe thing to do ss-as to ass-ait the inevit able reaction svhicii appears to have come. Its ollect can hardly fail to bo very severe upon the Argentine gos-crn- nienl and people , but such nii oxporioneo hceins to be necessary to all nesv coun tries. At any rate fesv of them have exoaped tt. There is tin obvious lesson in this Argentine experience which is ss-ortliy of the thoughtful nUontion of these people svho are proposing that the government of the United States bhnll go into the mortgage loan business and that congress shall issue nn unlimited amount of paper currency. This country , it may be conceded , is much richer in resources and much further advanced in development - ment than the Argentine Republic , but ss-o can no more disregard sound economic principles without paying the penally than that or unj other country , however relatively inferior to us in material con ditions. 7/Oir / ' / ' Ul'Klt ITI1S , Intelligent discussion of the effects of speculation in the food products of the country is enlarging the opinion that it is an os-il to ba removed if possible , and it it cannot bo wholly extirpated that something hhould bo done to check and regnlato it. Tlio Nosv Vork G'om- tiRic'icti Jlullclin , n most woll-inforinod ss it ness of the ollect.s of .speculation , after citing a fosv of the conditions to which tlio doprossiou in prices of farm products is more or less due , bays : "IJut iiftor all reasonable iillinsimees htis'o been made , there ssould seem to be nome ground for the complaint .so common among farmers of tlio west , that the operations - orations of the speculative exchange tend in the long run to dopris-e farmer.s ot a healthy ui'irkot. ' When those exchanges - changes are iunctivo or stagnant , as svlion the oper.itors for an advance get beaten and are forced to liquidate , prices sink to unnaturally losv figures. Tlio exceptional and unnatural advances , which speculation from time to time brings about , are not con trived for the benefit of the farmers , and tire as a rule HO timed and so managed that farmers got but little benefit from thorn. " Kvorybody svho lu at all familiar with the processes of speculation , which for the most part is gambling pure and sim ple , knois-s that the pretense that under any circumstances it can bo of any real bmiollt to the farmers is absurd. Tlio svholo system is cmtiroly independent of every lasv of trade and con travenes every sound principle of legitimate business. Supply and de mand , bays the report of the committee on agriculture accompanying its bill providing a special tax for dealers ( n options , Ho at the b iso of all legitimate trade and commerce. Hut no account Is tnkoti of this fiuuhinuut'il lasv by the bucket shop and grain pit sporulator.s. It is not require I that they shiill lius-o , receive or deliver ono ounce of any of the articles of which they ostensi bly buy and neil millions of pounds. It is nothing moro than n mittor , of hitting on the turn of the market , just as a card gambler hols on the turn of a card , but tlioro Is this dif ference , lu the tsvo forms of gambling , that svhilo the c-u-d gambler can not In fluence the cunrao of the cards the tram- biers In pro.lui'U nriy by tholr manipu lations Keep price * continually unsettled. There can ! > . > no question as to the ovllh of the speculation at which the bill buforo congress Is aimed , ami if it over under any eiiviimstancos brings any boiiellt to the farmers it is bo minll as to bi < of no eonsijquonco.

I'iiFs injustice to the people of Nance county and the state Iho law will remedy by compelling settlement with the" national government and the Issuing of patents , which will add sixty thousand acres to the taxable area of the state. TIIK selection of Howard Baldrldgo for the position of assistant United States district attorney Is u creditable one. Mr. Baldrldge was strongly endorsed by members of the bench and bar , mid there is no doubt that ho is thoroughly com- polont to perform the duties of the posi tion. Tllintl ] is nothing to prevent the board of public works from pushing work on streets ordered to grade by the council. Seventy-six thousand dollars worth of work will give employment to a largo force of men. IF ONU half the railroad rumors and reports become actualities , the present year will be a record-smasher in railroad building in this vicinity. OT1IKU l AXDS THAN OUHS. European journals , more particularly those of Franco , continue to discuss.with a great deal of concern the retirement of Bismarck , and fuels are coming out which appear to show that the bicak between the emperor and the prince Is widening. Bismarck's ' organs , for instance , have bccnrcvcallng some of the causes which led up to the differences be tween himself and his master , and the eia- pcror ta quoted U3 saying that further clToits to induce Bismarcl : to withdraw his resigna tion would ho useless , to which the reply was made that the prince was never requested to withdraw his resignation by the emperor. It Is quite evident that the rupture between the two is too gieat to make it easy for either the emperor or his advisers to go to the late chancellor for ml vice in events of future ne cessity. Whatever the crisis , It seems ques tionable If the young emperor will ever bo able to again command the services und ex- poiiciu-c of his former adviser. The result is that the dilllcult task of statecraft piise- , al most entirely froU tiled nnd oxpeiienced hands into those untried and inexperienced. Europj cannot , thorofoiv , but look on with some mixtety. The young emperor does not appear lacking hi ability or self-it'lianeo ; but his ambitions and fi'itmo plans are not known with certainty. CJeimany is now under the rule of two iiiuu of military education and proclivities , unti allied in diplomacy or the arts of peace , mid who could win greater glory in the Held than tit , the capital. Momwhilc , Kuropa'in ulTaira nro still in a delicate posi tion , and as no greater pac < ! power existed in Europe than that wielded by the former ch ui- cellor , his rethomeut thus becomes the more serious. i * Illustrations multiply that it would bo for the advantage of Kilsslti , especially thoe/arof all the llussias , if a eUnu/i1 in the government of the mot enormous of the empires could bo effected. It would be money in the pocltet of the c/nr ami coinfoi tin his household if ho could 1)J relieved of tin ( train of e.eoslvo re sponsibility , to s ly nothui'/ the apprehen sion of assassination. An Asiatic despotism tempered by assassination is an unhappy stj lu of adjustment of relations botwojn the rulers and the ruled. A great deal that Is coming to us nowadays as Kussiuu uows Is , no doubt , rumor and exaggeration , but there is a basis of fiit-t , certainly , for the swarm of sin ister stories. There is trouble in the univer sities and an agitation that is serious in Fin- liiiiil , while the remorseless purpoio of mur dering the e/nr is no doubt entertained by the advanced anarchists with increasing animos ity and Intensity of purpDso. There is unfor tunately u duel to the death between the c ar and the assassins of his father -if not the same men , these who cnhcrit their spirit. The deadly violence with which ho has been pursued has dclven from him all sentiments that might have led him to consider the expediency , if not to recog- ni/o the duty of llborali/.lng his gov ernment. As the case stands , ho nnd his hold that n movement toward popular concessions is an admission of defeat and a confession of humilliitlon. Tilesho Is not llki'ly ' to make , and .so it Imppeus Unit hu to whom h.is been committed the pnverto do more for humanity than any otliorinin , HOOS nothing but dis honor and reformation and is constrained to ho mi oppressor and go on hardening his heart.

Ho has had wonderful esi'ipiM , but the chances are against him. We do not sou that the killing of moro e/nrs could possibly do any good. There are plenty of grand dukes , If the enterprise several times undertaken of killing the whole of the immediate imperial family should at last bo successful. The worst feature of Itusslaa imperialism is cor ruption. If the pinpomr business Is the right thing in government , Itnsslu should bo the best governed country In the world , and It Is ono of the worst. The remedy must ho by growth toward popular Institutions , and an- iirchism Is not In thafc.dhwtloa. Nor is so cialism. Ono of the Important distinctions to Im proim-i od in reading modern history Ii that between nnaroliy and socialism. They are related and adulated , hut unlike. * * # Thcro has always been considerable rivalry belsveen Servltt and1 Bulgaria with regard to Macedonia , a country which each regards as Its legitimate pr < ty.

" * * Brazil appears to bo moving nlong tran quilly upon lined of fair prosperity. The blood less revolution which deposed Doni Pedro hm not been follosved by any domestic tumult or by any attempt at Intcrfeivnco front abroad. Kings have too much dlftlculty In keeping their osvn crowns In place to give themselves much concern about the cause of a deposed monarch , nnd when Dom Pedro returned to Portugal , the homo of the Bragnnzas , the sit uation was quietly accepted by his royal rel atives. Bni7.ll ss-113 much too powerful to bo attacked merely to compel Its acceptance of a monarchy. The provisional govern ment has dona admirably under the circumstances , preserving domestic Iran- quillty and pursuing quietly mid effectively the task of preparing for the popular government which the revolution was brought about to insure. A constitu tional convention has been called , and for the purpose of facilitating matters a draft of a constitution will be submitted thereto. It is the design manifestly that the great South American nation shall bo formed in Its repub lican state upon the model of the great repub lic of North Amcilca. The subdivisions of Brazil already correspond in some degree to the states of the union , nnd , allowing for dif ference of ciiucatioa , there ought not to be nay great difficulty of managing the country us a federal republic. Having u vast and pro ductive tertitory , embracing moro than ; iX)0.000 ( ) square miles , with n population of some 1 1,000,000 , Brazil under popular govern ment is susceptible of decided material as well as political progress. Those , Indeed , go hand in baud. If immigration is encouraged and the export tax is abolished the Br.uils may become a mighty and prosperous nation. * * X Polar enterprise tit pra.cnt scorns to 1)3 conllned to Scandinavia , and thcso three northern lands nro nil contemplating n ro- nesval of the research in the ice /ones. In Norway the conqueror of the C ! wenland in land ice , Dr. Nansen , is now developing a plan for mi expedition having the north polo for its god. Ho thinks the route tnroitgh Behring sea offers the best chances for suc cess. After steaming to the now Siberian islands his project is to force his vessel among the Ice Hoes and drift wueievcr the Ice takes him. He 1ms plenty of faith that the ice di if twill curry him almost due north , and that after tss-o years ho will have passed somewhere near the pjlo and reached open witer between Splt/onbergcn and Green land. In Denmark lieutenant Kyder of the navy , who has loui ? been en a ol in mapping : the ilnrds of west Greenland and studying the inland ice , i preparing for un expedition to the wholly uitkiiown part of eait Gioen- hind. Botsveeu the most northern paitof this coast attained by Captain Helm and the southern limit of the explorations of the Ivoldewoy expedition In 1SIV. ) thcro are about -IliO miles of the east Giecnlaml coast line th.it have never been visited. It is the purpose of lieutenant Kider to explore - ploro this unmapped coast. Ho expects to de\-ote about two years to the work , to have only nine picked men with him and to travel nlong the coast in small boats , providing also sledges for use when navigation fails. The natives whom Helm met know nothing of the exiUenco of human beings In this un explored stretch , and the region probably has no human inhabitants.
