TllK announcement from Washington
that the political mill will bo given

the anxiety of the ollieoscoUor.
LIKI : a smouldering bluzo the war bo-
twpou the rival street car companies

this ( s only the prelude to a consolida

Tin : practice of smashing railroad
agreements-with bombs should be do-
precatcd. To rcquiro managers to wear
coats-of-mail this simmering weather
is refined cruelty boiled down.
CONTINUOUS wet weather has seri
ously injured growing corn in Illinois ,
and a failure of the crop is feared. Ne

BUN BUTI/EU has decided to treat

THK now boundaries of Chicago are
Indiana on the south , Wisconsin on the
north , Lake Michigan on the east and St.

wiped out of the map. It would not bo
surprising if Chicago swallowed Mis

JrIT takes thirty-flvo thousand bar

TllK Union Pacific protests against

and they should testify their esteem by
I making Ins-visit to the state a round of
enthusiastic receptions.
K month of Juno lias closed under
more than ordinary favorable conditions
alTooting business. . Reports from Chicago
cage and other western points nro es
pecially encouraging , as the volume of
trade is somewhat larger than usual at
this season , A buoyant fooling consequently
quently prevails through the country
and the pros poets are bright for a
largo fall trado.
THU damage done to the Pennsyl
vania railroad by thoConomaugh / it
was ofHcUillystated would notoxcood ono
and throe-quarter million of dollars.
There nro few railroads in the country
which could suotain this unexpected
loss without seriously crippling their
resources. But the Pennsylvania does
not propose to allow this little accident
torufllo aalnplo hair of its head , but
.will call upon the lines utTcctotl to pay
this gigantic amount out ot surplus
earnings. The current not revenues
and dividends will therefore not bo cur
tailed in any way , o.xcopt by such losses
tin were sustained through thu inter
rupted t radio.
ftTSS NEW FISCAL YEAIt.
The govornmsnV now fiscal year begins -
gins to-day , and tlio appropriations of
the last session o ( congress , amounting
to nearly four hundred million dollars ,
become available ; The dlsbursomonts
from thonational : treasury for July arb
usually larger than for any ether month
of the year , nnd they are very sure to
bo so fof the present month. For ono
thing there will bo an extraordinary
demand upon the pension appropriation
to tnko up the vouchers issued in excess -
cess of lost year'i } appropriation. In
some other dlroctlonstivlso , the treasury
will pay out mora than it is usu
ally called upon to\lo in July , nnd per
haps only in the casa of the interest on
the public debt will it disburse loss
than has boon the rule. The beginning
of a fiscal ycnv necessitates u certain
amount of readjustment to now condi
tions. There must bo a balancing of old
books and now accounts opened , nnd
whllo the trcagury system under which
all this is done is very nearly perfect ,
the force of the department will have a
decidedly busy time for a few days , per
forming the vast amount of routine
work which the .change imposes
upon it.
There is some interest fn finan
cial circles regarding the question
whether the incoming of the now tlscal
year will bring about any change in the
policy ot the treasury , which thus far
under the present administration has
been kept very close to the lines of its
predecessor. Will there bo any do-
narturu in the matter of bond purchases
and in that of allowing n , considerable
amount qf public money to remain on
deposit with thrf banks ? The secretary
(5f the treasury has during the past four
months declined to permit the boiul-
holdorsio dictate the price which the
government should nay for bonds. Will
ho continue in this course , or having
the necessity before him of pro
viding for the sinking fund , which will
require the purchase of bonds to the
amount of about forty-fivo million dollars
lars , will ho doom It expedient to pay
bettor prices until this amount is secured -
cured ? The importance of the action
of the secretary in this matter is in the
questi6n whether the sum to bo thus
drawn from the treasury shall bo dis
tributed ever many months or bo
largely or wholly disbursed in tlmo to
moot the increased currency require
ments of the fall business , and undoubt
edly this consideration will have
weight in determining tho. policy
of thp treasury. So far as the
deposits with , thu banks are concerned ,
it is not believed that those will be sud
denly disturbed.- They have been somewhat -
what > roduccd ; under the present ad
ministration , and it is notprobublo that
their withdrawal will bo moro rapid
than it has boon.
It is impossible to predict with any
degree of certainty whether the autumn
demand for money will bo materially , If
at all , greater than last year , and if it
should not bo much increased , the re
sources of the nioiioy market will bo suf
ficient to moot it without extraordinary
assistance from the treasury. There
has boon a contraction of the circula
tion during the past two months , but
it is still moro than twenty millions in
excess ol this date last year and muoh
greater than it has been at ether
periods of marlcqd prosperity. The
general feeling in financial circles ap
pears to bo ono of confidence that the
policy of the treasury will be guided by
what shall appear to bo the financial
needs of the country and wijl bo such
as to prevent any serious disturbance
of the money market resulting from the
locking up of money needed in the
channels of business.
- PUSHING FOK bTATETIOOD.
The people of Idaho are , determined
tp make a strenuous effort to secure
statehood with the least possible dolay.
A constitutional convention will bo
held.on the fourth instant , although
there is no congressional authority for
it , and tha next congress will bo
promptly besieged to make provision
for atlniitting the territory to state
hood. In reply to the statements that
the territory does not contain the con
ditions necessary to become a state , the
advocates of admission claim u popula
tion of ono hundred and twenty-
live thousand , a property valua
tion of sixty million dollars ,
with a railway mileage of
one thousand miles , nearly four hun
dred schools , and a debt amounting to
but two hundred thousand dollars. The
fact is also sot forth that within a few
years Idaho has advanced from the
ninth to the fifth place in the produc
tion of bullion , contributing to the
wealth of the country gold and silver
to the value of ono hundred and twenty
million dollars , besides iron , copper and
ether motalfl. AU this is certainly
very muoh in Idaho's favor , but
the future growth of the territory
19 largely dependent upon the development -
volopmont of its agricultural resources
by moans of irrigation , and until this is
accomplished the appeal of her people
for statehood is likely to encounter op
position , The oxpurlence with Nevada
must prove discouraging to the efforts
of thu people of Idaho until that terri
tory has attained the conditions for
successful agriculture which will insure -
sure a steady increase of population ,
Mineral resources alone , however ox-
tonslvo , will not proyido what is neces
sary to maintain a state government ,
and except in these Idaho is very de
ficient. The ambition and enterprise
of her people are to bo commended , but
they are fostering a hope that is likely
to bo long deferred.
ONE hardly knows whether to talco
the news seriously or not that emanntoo
from London to the otTnct that syndi
cates are bolng formed in England for
the purpose of buying up the principal
mercantile and manufacturing interests
in the loading cities of this country.
While it "may bo true that tin English
company lias succeeded In obtaining
control of seine of the great brewing
establishments in America , it is u quos- ,
tlon whether these operations nro to bo
extended in the ubwbtlon of the retail
dry goods trade ns wo 11. There seems
no particular reason why the breweries
and the dry goods stores should osptt-
oiully bo singled out for purchase in
preference to distilleries , o'othing '
Rtorus or ether mercantile lines of trade
unless it bo the deliberate plan of the
English to como ever hero with oceans
of money and buy us out. Let the 'no
tion , moreover , once got abroad that the
British are willing to pay spot cosh fern
n woll-ostablishod paying morcnn-
tllo establishment , and there is
little question that our shrewd
business mon will not bo the losers by
the sale of their stock , stand and good
will. Moreover , what is the American
ntoro keeper to do when his pockets will
bo filled with British gold ? Mon who
have spent their lives in mercantile
pursuits will not bo apt to lay down
their arms and lot the English 'carry
on the business of this country. Should
such an extraordinary event really take
place , it is moro than likely that the
American merchant would , start up his
' particular line ot business poxt door to
his English competitor nnd win back
his trado. The reports that the Eng
lish intend to buy up the American dry
goods business must therefore bo taken
with n big grain of salt when there nro
so many inviting opportunities for in
vestment through , the length ' nnd
brcndtli ot this country without enc -
c roach limit upon the old established
fields ot trndo.
MASSACHUSETTS passed n ballot re
form law which will rpcoivo its first
practical test at the state election this
year. The friends of the measure have
found it necessary to form a ballot re
form league , whoso business it will bo to
see that the provisions of the nut shall
bo faithfully carried out to the letter ,
nnd to keep the wicked politicians and
election oDlcors from tampering with
the voters. Now all this may bo emi
nently proper and effective. But it
gees to prove that the now tangled bal
lot law is not self-acting and infallible ,
but needs a "league" to keep its eye
fixed on the complicated machinery
lest a cog should slip and smash things
generally. The truth is , however , if
the same precautions were taken under
our long established election laws
there would bo no necessity of going
off to Australia to adopt its Impracti
cable scheme. If every time an elec
tion takes place in Massachusetts under-
the now fanglod system , it bo neces
sary for "leagues" to protect the sacredness -
ness of the ballot box , the very purpose
for which the now law was intended
will be defeated and Massachusetts will
have gained nothing In purifying elec
tion methods by its expensive and com
plicated election machinery.
Till- : blow recently administered to
the cotton seed oil trust by the civil dis
trict court at Now Orleans may not very
seriously damage that monopoly , ainco it
does no businnss.in Louisiana , but none
the loss the decision against the trust
is important as demonstrating the
power of the courts nnd the adequacy
of legal protection against public mon
opoly. It is a valuable addition to judi
cial opinions that an ingenious attempt
to cvado responsibility by departing
from the recognized legal forms , and
assuming corporate powers without cor
porate organization , cannot succeed. It
reasserts the principle that the courts
have authority to interfere whore dan
gerous powers have boon assumed and
the attempt made to suppress competi
tion and evade accountability regard
less of the interests of the public. This
result of two or three years' litigation
is altogether satisfactory to the enemies
of trust monopoly.
THE testimony of John F. Carll , a
well known specialist who has made
petroleum development in this country
a careful study , is to the effect that the
supply will soon bo unequal to the de
mand. The country is using up the
stored accumulations of ages quickly
and wnstofully , and unless now fields
are discovered the drain will in a com
paratively short tlmo exhaust Pennsyl
vania's oil bods. Happily the virgin
petroleum fields ot Wyoming and Colorado
rado will soon bo able to supply any
shortage that may arise , and in time
will supplant Pennsylvania as the great
oil producing region. The development
of great industries is awaiting the open
ing of these seemingly inexhaustible
petroleum mines in the heart of the
llocky mountains , and the day will boone
ono of great promise to the entire west.
MONTANA seems destined to bo ono
of the great states of the union in
wealth and population. According to
the report of Mr. Anderson , agent of
the agricultural department , the level
lands of northern and eastern Montana
are not surpassed for wheat growing1 by
the famous wheat lands of Minnesota
and Dakota , and the progress of wheat
cultivation is very rapid. Invostfga-
tion shows the arid region of the terri
tory to bo much loss than has boon sup
posed , and what there is it ia believed
can easily bo reclaimed. It is a splendid
territory both in nroa and resources ,
and must inevitably become the homo
of a very largo aad prosperous popula
tion.
THU death of Maria Mitchell removes
ono of the most unique characters in
the educational world. For moro than
fifty years she was identified as a load
ing ustroiiomifit , and mndo her name
famous in 1817 by the discovery of the
great comet of that year. For nearly
a quarter of a century Maria Mitchell
occupied the high post of professor of
astronomy at Vassalcollogojivhore she
distinguished herself in hor'lifo work.
Her memory will long bo cherished not
alone by Vnssar college , but by the
great scientists of the ago as a woman
of rare acquirements and of a high in
tellect.
THK condition of tlio miners at Braid-
wood , 111. , is a startling exhibition of
the power and greed of monopolies.
The mon nnd their families are aqtually
being starved into submission , and the
potty tyrants in charge of the mines
have endeavored to suppress the truth
to prevent outside aid. Pcoplo who nro
shocked by accounts of tha cruelties
practiced in the Siberian' iq'inos need
not go far from homo for a parallel.
THE Rev. Spurgcon , son ot the noted
London preacher , recently assorted
that the chief weakness of American
character was "money , money , money
all grasping for money. " In view of
the unxioty of English syndicates to
monopolize our mines , railroads , brow-
erics , nnd lastj but hot least , our dry
goods tradOi Sir. Spunrcon's remarks
have n molaH\o \ sound. It Is hardly

A'eiu 1'nili CVimnirrcfuI nuttttta , June t ! > .
No carofnl observer of the course of llnan-
clal discussion in Europe can doubt that pub
lic sentiment is forming rapidly iu England ,
Germany and Franco In favor of nn Interna
tional agreement for the manitcnnnco of n
bimetallic monetary standard. The events
that have fallowed the publication of the re
port of the British currency commission and
the expressions which It has called forth
have made moro apparent thnn over before
the widespread popular recognition of the
importance of international co-operation in
the maintenance of n double standard. At
the same time current developments innko
it evident that the forces which will' bring
about an international agreement must over
come miiiiy obstacles niul work gradually to
Its consummation. Nothing is plainer than
that Germany , however much In favor of n
double standard , will await the action of
England , and that the adoption of an effeo-
tivo international agreement depends on
the British government. Ills to the English
situation , then , that eyes are turned , and
there wo Und the bimetallic movement gainIng -
Ing in force and recognized ns a political
power that will sooner or later assort itself.
But wo Und also that the British government
Is content to pursue a waiting p'ollcy and to
bo forced Into an International bimetallic
agreement rather than take the initiative.
Within the present month there have been a
number of significant developments ; public
meetings , conferences with representatives
of the government , and a debate in parlia
ment ; but all have pointed tb the same con
clusion , that tlio attitude ofutho British gov
ernment Is conservative : Unit tt3""ropresontu-
tlvcs are willing to hoW back , to encourage
other nations In the use of silver , and tontick
to the single gold standard until the force of
circumstances and an overwhelming decluin-
tion of the will of the people compel co-opor-
tion in an international bimetallic movement.
There is little indication of doubt that this
will be the outcome , but there is no hint of n
purpose on the part of the British govern
ment to take any step that will hasten this
consummation. J'wo conclusions nro clearly
pointed out for the guidance of the United
States. First , that for the present nothing i.s
to bo expucted from International co-opera
tion. Second , that wo can commit no greater
folly than to interpose now obstacles to the
accomplishment ot this desirable solution ,
or to decrease our owu influence in bringing
it about. Ono other fact of decided import
ance to us is inndo clear , and that Is that
England recognizes that by suspending her
silver coinage we could force an International
agreement for the maintenance of a double
monetary standard. The susp.uusion of our
compulsory and useless cdinngc is our true
policy ; but this being out of the question ,
members of the now congress and represen
tatives of the now administration must per
ceive that the tendency of financial develop
ments throughout the world is to increase
our obligation to treat currency questions
with extreme caution , and to protect our 5800-
000,000 of silver circulation und maintain its
gold value until an international agreement
is reached. It must bo apparent to all stu
dents of the financial situation at homo nnd
abroad that only by conservative and cau
tious measures can wo cast our inlluoiico in
favor of un international monetary agree
ment , whllo by concession to the demands
of the silver men wo can.onl.vInvite financial
disturbance and disaster nnd mterposo ob
stacles to n solution so manifestly to our in
terest.

CLEVELAND'S DAILY LIFE.
Busy Ollltio Hour * Followed lly Evcn-
liif * at Home.
Ex-President Cleveland has uuulo two
public addresses since he enino to Now
York on March 7 one nt tlio centen
nial banquet and ono sit the Fifth Avo-
nuu hotel dinner hist night , says tlio
New York Commercial Advertiser.
Both addresses wore rendered neces
sary ) > y circumstances , and oven the re
publican organs do not assert that ho
has been trying to push his wtiy to an
other term by using his eloquence , on
the people.
But there have boon many stories
about deep underhand political work , <
which , it is alleged , Mr. Cleveland is
engaged in. It has been said that ho
intends to come forth as the lolidor of
the county democracy , build up a ma
chine in this city anil state-Tind insure ,
himself of the New York delegation to
the next national convention. 1
The ex-president's daily life , however -
ever , gives no indications of the polit
ical schemer. In fact , there is probably
not n mnn in this city of any political ;
prominence who has less to do with pol
itics and politicians. Mr. Cleveland
has retired to real private life , not the
politician's "private life , " which means
a state of expectant waiting for some
thing to turn up.
No'onc has heard of any conference
at the Victoria hotel. Prominent mon
call there sometimes , but their visits
are purely social. Most of the visitors
arc ladies however , who como to carry
olT Mrs. Cleveland to dinner or ton.
Reporters are never soon about the corridors
riders of the hotel looking for gossip
as Mr. Cleveland's time while ut his
' '
apartments ia given up to chatting'with
friends or looking through books Hi his
llttlo library. Nor is there a political
atmosphere about his ofJIeo In William
street. Probably not half ft dozen local
politicians have penetrated to the ollloo
ainco the first day ho wont thcro , when
ex-Mayor Grace. ox-Secretary Whit
ney , John D. CrimmiiiB and a few other
personal friends showed him the way up
to Bangs , Stetson , Tracoy McVoagh'a
otllccH and gave him a sort of house
warming.
It appears that Mr. Cleveland ie too
busy to allow his olllco to become a _
lounging place for political goasipors. 1
Ho has had his hands more than full of *
work since ho came to town. After his
brief Florida trip ho told Mr. Stetson
that ho was going to settle down lohurd
wonc till summer , and ho has done so.
In the last month he has notonco failed
to reach his otllce before 11 o'clock. Ho
frequently appears at 05 : ' ( ) or 10 o'cloclc.
After greeting his associates ho gooH
quietly to his olllco , which is the most
bocluded of the IInil's sulta , and noth
ing more is hen I'd of him till about 1
o'clock , when ho takes luncheon. Then
ho resumes work , seldom quitting be
fore ' 1:30 : o'clock. Business is said to
have increased largely sinoo ho joined
the Hrm , and the extra work fall ou him.
'Ilin Cuban Kirrlly'H Unlit.
A most intcroHting'oxporlmont ' has re
cently boon made in taking n photo
graph by the Ii'ht { , of tlio Cuban liro-
lly , says the Scientific American. The
species of this insect belonging to the
United States IH well known , but its
light-producing powers are very feeble
compared with these of its rolativostho
lantern lliesorcucuyoa , of Cuba. Brazil
and Mexico.
It is haid that persons traveling'by
night in the tropical forest are nccus.
Lomod to place those llro-beotlcH on their
boats to light the way , and that Cub.ia
ladies mount the cuuuyos ns gems for
thuir hair and clothing.
A living specimen of these tropical in-
soots was recently presented to the
Bridgeport Scientific society. It Ie
ibout an inch and a half long , nnd board
upon oaeii aldo of its body oval spots re
sembling oyos.
in the dark these spots omit n
greenish light , resembling that of tiny
electric lumps in full glow.
If the cucuyo is placed on a watoh
dial its light will onnblo ono to toll the
Llmo of night , and It also dearly illum
inates a small printed pugo.
Its radiance teems to bo in a measure
under the control of the willfor when a
gas jot is rapidly turnea on and off the
insect , whether from rivalry or eomo
other motlvo , is Hiiro to do his host.
After various trials of the insect's
power the oxpurirnant of photograph
ing by its light was successively curried
out.

made , the insect bolng liold within an
inch of the original , and in suoh a way
