AMID the uncertainties and anxiety

Timseoretwy of the State Hoard of

made "sentiment" for the country press
respecting the impeachment trial , nutv
soon have a long vacation on his handt
in which to repent his rashness. Stereo

THK inofllcicncy of the Canadian quarantine -

Halifax and Vancouver and gone or
their way inland. A dispatch from
Montreal gives n number of instances ir
evidence of this , and , while in sonu
cases the diseased persons won
discovered and transferred to hos >
pltals after having ; penetrated tc
a considerable distance inland , their fol
low travelers were allowed to proceed ,
with all the attendant rlska that thclt
frco passage engendered. A quarantine
system of this character is of course
worthless , nnd whileit maybe improved
later on , when the rush of immigrant'
begins , it is manifestly not wlso for the
American quarantine authorties ! to pul
any rciinnco upon an elllolont service a !
the Canadian ports. Tholr plain dutj
is to proceed with their regulations a :
if there was no Canadian quarantine
nod make them as thorough as possible
C'MAT/t/IifTOfll' Cl VbKS ,
Financiers offer various reason * in OX'
planntlon of thu existing tlnaucial dls-
turlmmv , soiiio atta-hiug special im
portune * ; to one or more eauxes and sotno-
to others. One well known Xcw York
banker is reported as naying with refer
ence to the situation in that city that it
in. "imply one of those porlodk-nl squalls
which ore to bo looked for every few
years and that whan it has passed the
Hltuntliin will bo stronger than boforo.
Another , who said that the banks ave
in nxcellont shape , attributed the de
pression of the market to the clfeot
of Mio silver purchase law and
the jwjpular idea that the national
treasury cannot pay out gold below the
iiOO,0 < X,000 ) ire orve. Tlieso causes , ho
thought , had led foreign holders of
American securities to realize on them
mil thus the tide of trade was turned
igalnst them. There was , ho said , a
[ irocess of liquidation as the result of the
idea of the scarcity of gold "and the
trimming down whore the trimming can
bo best done. " I Io did not regard this
occasional liquidation as an unmixed
evil , but rather as having the healthy
fleet "which always comes after one
lias paid his debts and cuts
oil what is extravagant. " There are
reassuring- views of the situation from
sources which make them worthy of
consideration , but the question that
Miggcsts Itself is whether they are suf-
llciently comprehensive to bo entirely
satisfactory.
We showed a few days ago that there
is an ample supply of money in the
country for every demand of legitimate
business. It is stated that the New
York bank reserves are at this time
$12.0 < )0,000 ) in excess of the li" per cent
legal limit. As to the stock of gold in
the country from which the treasury
may draw supplies to moot the demands
upon it , it is olllcially estimated
to have amounted on May 1 , in round
numbers , to $ . > ; 12(00 < ) , OOU , a sum that
would .seem ample for 'overy probable
requirement. Those well known facts
ought to strengthen confidence , hut
they apparently do not liavo any such
effect , and the inevitable conclusion
must bo that there is a deep-seated un
certainty regarding the future which
conduces to extraordinary caution and
conservatism. The fact that the trade
balance against us is measurably duo to
the unloading of American securities by
Huropean investors is a feature of the
situation that is peculiarly calculated to
disturb confidence in so far as it indi
cates an apprehension on the parl
of such investors regarding thu
future value of thew securities ,
for if under the stress of fear as to
the future financial policy of this gov
ernment the greater part of our
securities hold abroad should bo re
turned It would transfer our entire-
stock of gold to Europe. Such a possi
bility may bo extremely remote , but a
much heavier drain upon our gold reserve -
servo than has yet been cxperiencet
would under conceivable financial con
ditions bo highly probable. Specula
tion in trust securities is a contribu
tory cause to the present linancia
disturbance , that being chiefly re
sponsible for the failures that con
duced to the patiicky feeling , bu
this could hardly of itself have
produced the conditions that have prevailed
vailed in Now York for the hut two days
It simply served to develop the latent
distrust.
The situation may not bo so bad as ap
pcatvi on the surface , and it is to bo hopoi
it will prove to bo merely n "porlodica
squall" incident to a natural process o
liquidation. A financial crisis at thi
time would bo peculiarly unfortunate
and doubtless there is no substantia
the kind. But there is an anxious feel
ing and the developments of the next
few days will bo awaited with unojin-
mon Intoro.-it.

The Chicago newspapers are doing
their duty In urging that the World's
fair olllcials shall adopt prompt and de
cisive measures to put a stop ta the ex
tortionate charges of the roitaurant
keepers within the fair grounds , and it
appears that the demand is to bo com
plied with. The council of administra
tion lias determined that the restaurant
keepers must reduce prices or close up.
A reasonable advance in ordinary
charges is to bo expected and neb ody
who goes to the fair will complain a t
having to pay it , but the greed shown by
the restaurant ' 'concessionaires" parses
all reasonable bounds , and to tolerate It
would certainly operate against the suc
cess of the fair , for it would go far to
justify a widespread popular opinion
that extortion will bo the rule in Chicago
cage during the exposition. Everybody
who contemplates going t.o that city
within the next six months expects to
pay moro than usual for what ho gets ,
but a great majority of the American
people will not complacently submit tc
bo robbed , and rather than allow them
selves to bo relentlessly plundered thou
sands will stay at homo.
It behooves the fair olllcials , there
fore , to compel those over whom thoj
have control to make their charges rea-
bonalile , and If they do this the example
will doubtless have a wholosumo effect
upon others. If the restaurant keepers
on the fair grounds are not permitted tc
plunder the public , theuo outside wil !
not generally undertake t ; > do so. for
the charges of the former will have i
great deal to do with regulating the
general prices , except as to the higher
class of restaurants , and those will not
got their patronage from the masses o
the people who will visit the fair. O
course people can thenibolves provide j
remedy by taking lunches with them on
ttieir visits to the fair , and a great many
will do this in any event ; but such an
expedient for avoiding extortion will
not bo convonlaut or practicable for
everybody.
The fact that the spirit of rapacity i :
dominant in Chicago will not bo denied
For two years nearly everybody in thai
city and thousands who have gone there
within that time have boon calculating
upon reaping a rich harvest during tin
fair , and consequently everything whicl
visitors require has gone skyward. I
may bo confidently predicted that :
8 oat many of the greedy ones will b
disappointed , and it will not bu gurpra
lug if some of those who aru speculating
upon fleecing the Aniortcan public will
oino out at the "little end of the horn. "
Warned of extortion at the outset the
itibllc may decline to submit to it by
laying away until under the operation
it the law of supply nnd demand the
harges for accommodation nnd living
mvo bocn established on a reasonable
msls , as Is very certain in time to bo
ho case. The American people are liberal -
oral in their expenditures , but they do
not like to bo robbed , especially in their
own country. Chicagoans will presently
liscovor that they are making a mistake
n giving so great latitude to their
cupidity.
lilt : NAV.tJO At'F.UH.
The arrival of the United States troops
upon the scene of the late Navajo In
dian troubles lias dispelled all appro-
tensions respecting the threatened hos
tile demonstrations. The tribe , as an
organization , does not appear to have
been Involved in the disturbances , the
number of the Navajos who donned war
paint not exceeding over 2oO men. The
United States force now on the field ,
dispatched from Fort Wlngate , number
about 270 , rank and Ille , but the hostile * ,
should they renew their warlike depre
dations , would have the advantage of
familiarity with the rugged country in
which operations would be conducted.
Yet , with the available forces that could
reach the field on a few hours' notice , it
is not likely that any serious dilllculty
would bo experienced in effectually sup
pressing the outbreak.
In this connection it is a matter for con
gratulation , as evidencing the discipline
and efficiency of our little army , that
Colonel Merriam at Fort Logan asserts
that at no time can the troops there bo
found not in readiness to leave on any
call to the Hold on thirty minutes notice.
Therefore , on receipt of the recent orders
from Washington to prepare for the ex
pected campaign the garrison was
already virtually ready to inarch.
There is another phase of the affair ,
however , that becomes a subject of
regret , and is likely to transfer the
scene of hostilities to the War depart
ment at Washington. Colonel. Merriam
is ) reported as making serious accusa
tions against Lieutenant Pluinmor on
thu ground of inefficiency , and to at
tribute the whole lute difficulty to his
mismanagement. Lieutenant Plummor
is an officer of the Tenth infantry and
has only lately been assigned to duty
on the Navajo reservation. Opposed to
this censorious criticism is the declara
tion of the Denver iYeirs , which has paid
diligent attention to the troubles since
their inception , that it was Lieutenant
Plmnmor's "cool judgment , courage ,
diplomacy and understanding of the sit
uation that has enabled him to prevent
a conflict which would have involved a
large loss of life and property. "
Whatever may bo the exact circum
stances of the case , the fact that so un
fortunate a difference of opinion has
arisen of itself emphasizes the recent
suggestion of TilK Burs of the necessity
of employing only officers of experience
on duties connected with Indian affairs.
LOl'lSl.lXA SUUMl ItA SKltS ALAKMKD ,
Whatever may have boon the founda
tion for the report wired from Washing
ton the other day respecting the presi
dent's plan for suspending the sugar
boun'y , it has had the effect of greatly
nlar.ning the southern sugar planters.
'I ho planters of Louisiana are to meet in
New Orleans soon to take counsel in re-
gar.l to the situation , and the 'I'iinut-
Dsmocrat of that city in commenting
thereon says that what the sugar indus
try nocds above all tilings at the present
time is "to bo let alono. "
Rjforring to the remarkablc- -
*
? ? . . . . - ho arOgSto produc
tion of cane , boot and maple
sugar 103,000,000 pounds , or moro
than 21 per cent in one year , as shown
by the government reports , the writer
remarks : "Thoro is in this extraordi
nary increase the potential promise
that , were the development of the in
dustry allowed to go forward upon the
present lines , the United States would
within a mensurable number of years be
producing enough sugar to supply the
entire homo demand. "
There is nothing original expressed
in this view. Its principal significance
consists in the just recognition of the
stimulus given the sugar industry
through the McKlnloy bill by a leading
southern organ of the party that antag
onized it in the last campaign and
menaces it now.
There may have been no adequate
ground for the statement telegraphed
that President Cleveland had instructed
the attorney general to prepare an opin
ion upon the authority of the govern
ment to pay the sugar bounty granted
under the present tariff act. Up to this
date , at any rate , Mr. Olnoy is said to
have filed no such opinion. But "cer
tain it is , " as the Chicago Inter-Omin
says , pointing to the pledges contained
in the democratic national platform ,
"that the planters have good reason for
alarm , independent of any such nullifi
cation rumor. "

officials subsequent thereto , in which
Councilman Wheeler and ox-Council
men Davis , Chuffeo and Shriver wore
said to have been implicated , have beer

THK latest information as to the attl I-
tude of. the president regarding tlij
monetary conference , which is expoctei
to reassemble May . ' 10 , is to the offecl
that ho feels very llttlo interest in tin
matter. It is said that he will not nutkt
any appointments to take the places o
the delegates who tendered thoirroilg >
nations , although these gentlemen eh
not desire to return , and that ho wil
not give the delegates any now in
structlons. Ho would probably , it I
since It has already glvon out that
would bo ngidj ) represented only as a
matter of courtesy , and in that event
other nations would decline to partici
pate in what would manifestly bo a fruit
less meeting. "rho British government
has given ampi * , assurance that it will
do nothing favorable to bimetallism ,
and if the United States has nothing
now to propose It Is plain that another
mooting of the conference would be
simply a waste of time. Evidently this
Is the view taken bv the president.
SKCHKTAKV GUKSHAM very properly
declined to make any cimmont on the
dispatch of Governor Pcnnoyor of Oregon
gen sent in reply to ono from the secre
tary expressing the hope , of the presi
dent that the governor would employ all
lawful means for the protection of the
Chinese in Oregon in the event of their
being exposed to the dan jor of violence.
To tills courteous and , under the circum
stances , entirely proper dispatch ( ! ov-
onior Pcnnoyer replied : "I will at
tend to my business. Lot the presi
dent attend to his. " It was another
example of the boorlshno.ss of Ore
gon's governor , who seems to have
an inordinate egotism , and to bo pecu
liarly jealous of the attention duo his
position. It will be remembered that
when President Harrison was on his
western tour Ponnoyer refused to go to
the state line to welcome him , saying , in
effect , that if the president of the United
States wanted to see the governor of
Oregon , ho knew where to find him.
Another example of his baorlshness was
given when ho refused to allow a na
tional salute to bo tired on last inaugura
tion day , although ho claims to
bo a democrat. His response to
the rcqucit of the a-ljutant general
of the state in this matter was neither
dignified nor decent. His latest exhl-
tion of boorishncj * is no m'jro.oxeiisablo
than the others , and every respectable
citizen of Orog.m. regardless of party ,
must feel humiliated by it. Secretary
Gresham did well to withhold any com
ment upon this piece of impertinence ,
but it is quite within the functions of
the press to administer to Governor
Pcnnoyer the rebuke ho deserves.

to falsify the rctivns and will hereafter

lias closely followed the peculiar meth
ods of deceiving the public , pursued by

The trouble which U already In sight In
the dual kingdom of Sweden ami Norway
threatens tow \ extremely serious. The de
mand of the Norwegian Storthing l not tin-
reasonable- Itself , certainly , although no
provision for such a problem was made In
the act of union. The claim of the Nor
wegian peeiplo to n scp.ir.ito system of con
sulships Is based upon the fact that the cus
toms policies of the two e-ouutrle * nro very
dissimilar , ono country having a strong pro
tective ) and the other a merely revenue tariff
In force. The consuls who are now sup-
poscel to represent the du.il kingdom are
appointed by the Swodlsh government
alone , and it Is not strangi' If they agre'o
with the policy of that government as op
posed to ttio Norwegian policy. The de
mand for a separate system Is voiced by the
great majority of the Norwegian people , and
II is by no menus .strange that the refusal to
grant such a request has ivuned much Indig
nation. The action of thei Swedish Storthing
In postponing a vote on the civil Hit can
hardly bo construed as anything but a page
of defiance to King Oicar , who has decline I
to glvo favorable ) attention to the Swedish
requests. The N'orweglm press Is strongly
urvini ? the suggestion tlwt the liwr'-cof
' union" bo eliminated from the Norwegian
flag. The Storthing , by a vote of tVl to Tit.
decided to suspend its sittings slno die , and
from present indications there is much rea
son to expect still further trouble of a grave
nature In the future. A largo Iwely of the
Norwegian people have already begun to
discus * the advisability of maintaining an
entire Independcnco of Sweden , and "disun
ion" Is a word that Is often hoard in north
ern Kuropa at preseut.

There are two reasons why the polltie-al
development of Belgium under the now
electoral conditions will bo watched with
deep anxiety l > y the nelghlurinj ? powers.
Should the radicals acquire permanent as-
e-endeiie-y the Belgian government would
make no effort to disguise its sympathy with
Franco , and the existence of this feeling
would east doubt upon the maintenance of
Belgian neutrality in the event of a conti
nental war. Then , again , the pjpulixr party
In Belgium , although still called radical , is ,
in fact , largely made up of avowed socialists ,
and when it becomes dominant in the Brus
sels Parliament it is likely to give a strong
socialistic tmgo to legislation. The ex
ample thus presented on their borders will
naturally encourage the socialists of France
and Germany. Already the German soclal-
sts are counting on returning at least Ilf ty
nombors to the next Uoichstag , and the
French socialists bultovo that in the coming
general election for the Chamber of Dopu-
ios they will sweep not only I'aris , Mar
seilles and Lyons , but many manufacturing
or mining towns. It should bo remembered
hat in times of peace , .socialist ? all over
Curopo have a common purpose and a com-
uon program. It Is only war that might
array French and Gorman -.vorkingmcu
igalust each other.Vhon the Nyssen bill
lus become a law , a now gonor.il olectlou
uust take place in Belgium under the
changed electoral conditions. Wo have ,
therefore , not long to wait in order to learn
the effect of the reform upon the political
urties.

The proposed electoral reform bill for
Prussia provides that the contributions of
the first , second and third classes shall
lencoforward stand In the proportion of
ilvo , four and three , and further , that not
only shall the direct state taxes bo made
the basis of classification , but the communal
md provincial taxes .shall also bo taken
ute account. If this were all , the pluto
cratic character of the Prussian electoral
system would not bo sensibly diminished.
There nre , however , two other clauses , ono
excluding so much of every incoiuo as shall
exceed $500 from being computed in' the
arrangement of the three categories ; the
second , ascribing a fictitious contribution of
75 cents to every person who does not pay
any income tax to tlio stato. The persons ,
therefore , who are uuassossed and who have
hitherto been disfranchised will form the
third class , and it is computed that five-
ninths of the entire amount of the direct
taxes will fall on the first class , leaving but
four-ninths on the second. The manifest ef
fect of this arrangement will bo not only to
emancipate the very poor , but to strengthen
people of moderate moans against the pluto
crats. There is sotno reason to believe that
the conservatives in the Landtag may repent
of their bargain , as careful calculations made
in the Rhino provinces indicate that the now
classification would greatly tncreaso the
political power of tlio centrists and socialists
and correspondingly damage the conserva
tives and national liberals.

INCALLS ON POLITICS !
Ex-Senator John J. Ingulls ol
Kansas is among tlio foremost pub- |
lie men of the elay. Ho is renowned !
as orater , scholar , statesman. ]
The preiduct of his pen is sought fe r ]
with avidity by the reading public.
Ills perfect mastery eif the English !
language and his knewlcdge e > f our *
political history and the great men J
who have figured conspicuously in j
national affairs combine to lit him !
peculiarly for a ellscnsslon of thei
politics and politicians of thu i
country.
It is a pleasure to be able te > nil- ,
nounce that THE SUNDAY HIM ! I
will contain an exclusive article J
from the pen of Senator Ingalls.
It will eclipse all his efforts heretej
fore published by THE 11F.E. Tl
subject is Politics. He makes a ,
slashing criticism e > f the men who
place politics in the same catalogue
with poker ami pugilism. He de
clares that public men are ns good
as the people who elevate them to
places of honor. Cleveland , he
says , is the most inveterate e > fiice
seeker eif the age , yet takes frequent
occasion to scourge office seeking.
iMoney is not u prcrccuiislte to suc
cess in politics. Congress is thu
greatest pe > litical forum of thu
wen-Id. The senate is the bulwark
of the nutiem , "and when its gavel
falls to announce the close e > f its last
session the government of the
UnitedtStatcs will stand adjourned
without day. "
Mr. Ingalls' letter is stirring
in its epigrammatic brilliancy.
There Is positive strength in every
paragraph. It will be read with
consuming interest by every student
of pe > .litics and government.
