in hooping the iasuo in doubt until its

Direct in the money market. Generally
theatre ha ? bian nntorlally roileved
nnd there is a restoration of confidence
thnt ia rotmuring as to tlio iminadinto
future. This will bo nccoptel as vindi
cating the course ot tlio treasury , but It
also shorn that the danger ot panic was
very greatly exaggerated. Senator Sher
man oxproBHcdlhoopinion inthoEonato a
fowdnya ago that the financial ncaro was
muniifncturcd , "gotten up by brokers ,
by bulls and board and various kinds of
animals who practiced their trade in the
exchanges of Now "Yorjc , " and ho pre
dicted that all tlio apparent Qllllcultlos
in the monetary situation would settle
themselves in a little while. The veri
fication of Mr. Shorman'8lov eoonw to
bo now taking plnco , for as a
matter of faot thuto has hcoa no
scilous financial disturbance in
tlio country at largo ; what
dlhlurbanco there wOnshas boon confined
to Now York , and thaw responsible for
it there having learned , that the treis-
ury has gone to the uxtotit of Its ability
uniloirotlstinjr laws torollovo the mar
ket , will probably not continue those
practice : ! by which such disturbances
arc nunuf.icturod. There is consequently
quently reason to expect that the ilnin-
clnl situation will go on improving and
that the supply ot money will bo found
simple for moving tlio cropi and inoctlng
the largo demand of the business of the
country at this season. But the f.ict
romalna that the ultinuto relations bo-
twcon tlio treasury anil the money mar
ket , linolving at vital timo3 thodopond-
once of tlio Inttor upon the former and
encouraging manufactured financial dls-
tuibancos , is an unfoitunato condition.
One bad effect is to make banKers loss
rnioful than they would otherwise be ,
and as a consequence speculators are
allowed moro latltudo than it is safe or
jubt to the legitimate business interests
of the country to allow them. The
largo and dangerous power lodged
in the discretion of the secre
tary of the treasury is a , far moro setlous
feature of the existing &ystom. In the
present case It is not questioned that the
secretary lias kept strictly within the
law , but what iccourso will there bo
after thoolTcots of this strained relief for
a strained situation ha\o boon ex
hausted ? The treasury must atonco begin -
gin to roi'ovor into its vaults the funds
it is now dlHtributing , and as it is him-
ply paying certain laigo amounts of ob
ligations inndvaneo it will have to di-
mlnlbh its diabiirsonients for the next
twelve months proportionately. It can
not , at least until another year , repeat
the present expedients ot "cdeeniing
bonds and anticipating interest. The
laigo now expenditures authorized by
congress will not permit the treasury to
dolhcso things. For the next twelve
months , therefore , it would acorn plain
that the money market cannot dopand
upon the treasury for special icllef
should an ojdgoncy arise , nnd if this fact
shall ho generally lO'ili/bd ' the effect
may bo good In putting ; n cheek upon
such speculation as Islnrgoly responsible
fpr tlio present monetary disturbance.

f MISSISSIPPI.
The question of establishing- educa
tional qualification for the right of
suffrage in Mississippi , the effect of
which would bo to very greatly reduce
the negro % oto of the state while mak-
ing only a coinpnrati\oly small reduction
in tlio whltoote , has received no
heartier support from any ono than from
the only colored member of the constitu
tional convention , Mr. Montgomery ,
who advocates it as in his opinion the
only solution of the race problem. In
an eloquent speech in support of the re
port of the sullrago committee in favor
ofjun educational qualification , Mr.
Montgomoiy said that his comlction of
tlio necessity of such a ros > triotlon of the
franchise was not now. Ho had hold it
before his constituents bent him to the
convention , and had told them that the
work of thocomontion , in order to bo
successful , must restrict the frnnchiso
by prescribing such qualification for
voters as would loduco the negro vote
considerably below the whlto loto of the
stato.
"Wo are well aware , " said Montgom
ery , "that our race has not yet attained
the high piano ot moial , intellectual and
political excellence common to yours ,
but It is our privilege to press onward
and upward. Ills the lack of. confidence
in the adjustment of our political econ
omy , pioposed by you , that keeps up the
race solidity. "Without tv restoration of
confidence I can see no solution to this
gicat problem. " no believed the vir
tual olToct of the proposed measure
\\ouldbo to restrict ono hundred and 1
twenty-four thousand negro voters and I
cloven thousand white , giving n net t
white majority of forty thousand , and ho
said : "It is n fearful sacrifice laid upon
the altar of liberty. Many of those mon
you seek to disfranchise ) I Icnow per
sonally. Their hearts are as true as
steol. Many are soldiers who have
stood amidst the smoke of battle on
bloody fields in defense of the flag
which every American proudly hails
as tlio oiisign of freedom and the
talisman of protection hi all
civilized lands. I want to bay to my
people , wo have not taken away your
high privilege , but only lifted it to u
higher pinna and exalted the station ol
the great American birthright. " ifo
quontly and impressively this ox-slnvo
spoke of the debt of the south -to the
labor of the colored race and of the
loyalty of that race to the southern people 1
plo throughout the war , and ho declared 1j
that the affections of the race would re j
main with Iho whites "till the memories
nnd traditions of former generations '
shall boiomo obliterated. " JIo desired
that the race problem shall become
thing of the past , never to voxandalarm
again the public , and that the two great
races shall peacefully tm\ol sldo by side ,
each mutually asslst iff the other to
mount higher and higher In the scale of
human progress.
This ox-slnvo sot nn example of lofty
patriotism and generous sacrifice on tlio
part of his race which should not fall to
have a hoalthf ul Influence oven upon t ho
democrats ol Mississippi. Doubtless
they would llko tomnkothodlHfranchlso-
nioht of the negroes complete , but this
they cannot do by constitutional pro-
viHlon or leglslalive enactment , nnd
they must bo satisfied with a policy ro-
gardlnp the franchise which will apply
equally to whlto nnd colored illiterates.
This is the best that is attainable
as a solution of the problem , and it IH
probably the plan that will bo adopted.

The marvelous fertility ol western re
sources is equalled if not turpanHcd by
the versatility of its politics. Hereto
fore thrco political pat ties wore consid
ered ample to moot all colors and condi
tions of men , hut this year a western
state without a quartette of inrlics is
painfully lucking in the progressive
spirit of the times.
The Unkotns , Nebraska nnd Kansas
are abundantly provided for , jot they
nro behind Minnesota In affording
voters that rich nnd varied assortment
of political timber with which to con
struct a model government. "When the
fouilh ticket was sprung- the average
voter cried enough. Notsowlthlho polit
ical managers of the National liuLldln ?
and Loan association. They hungered for
political glory and produced a combina
tion tickot. This aggtogatlon of Shylocks -
locks claim to hold fifteen thousand
votes in the hollow of their palms , be
sides a capital of forty millions.
The nationals do not sock otlice. They
are nbo\o and bojond the sordidschomos
of politicians , but they enjoy a lucrative
business in Weeding their patrons. The
Minnesota law provides for a ilgld sys
tem ot examination of these concerns.
The nationals , ho wet or , do not take
kindly to the law , and have tiino nnct
again intimated tlmt they would prefer
to conduct their business vlthout otllclnl
inspection. Last spring- the governor
and state auditor committed political
laii-kaii by exposing the rascally opera-
ions of ono of the nationals and the
nnnuor in which hundreds of people in
hat and neighboring slates wore fleeced ,
heir monthly dues squandered in huge
lalnries , and the surplus loaned to
riendly institutions on insufficient secu-
ity. This wits a stunning blow to a
.hriving . local industry , consequently
, ho ofllclals guilty of protecting the
loror of the state aio marked for polit-
eal slaughter.
Minnesota is the homo of seven na-
.lonal associations { rood , had and indlf-
eront. Their interests are common ,
md possessing unlimited means wrung
'roni ' a vast majority of their patrons
.tinier false pretenses , they mnko no
secret of their purpose to fight the re-
lublican ticket , nnd wage an uncompro-
nisingwar on Governor Men-lam. It
would bo a icllectlon on the character of
lie people of Minnesota to suppose that
thcso mercenaries wield the balance of
) owcr in thostato. The fact that the
offending oflloiuls displayed their back-
yono in investigating and exposing the
uitlouul crooks , as the law required , is
sulllcieiit to secure them the active sup
port of every honest citizen of Minnesota.
