A Washington dispatch states Hint It
Is regarded its certain tli.it Secretary
( Jngo will continue in ofllre. Tills Is In
reference to a report that the secretary
of the treasury had said to the president
that ho would tender Ills resignation If
his Iliuuiclnl views were embarrassing
the nilinlnl.stiatlon , There has bi-cn an
olTorl made to create n breach between
Mr. MeKlnley and Mr. ( Sage because of
the views of the latter as stated to the
house banking and currency committee.
Certain silver republicans have olijoeted
to the position of the secretary or the
treasury In favor of more thoroughly
committing the country to tlio gold
standard and have threatened to
break with the administration nnd wllh-
draw from the party If the presldt-nt did
not disclaim the attitude of Mr. Gage
as representing that of the administra
tion.
It is understood that Mr. Melvlnloy
has Informed the secretary of the treas
ury that their views an : In accord nnd
so far as the gold standard Is concerned
there should never have been any doubt
as to their being In accord. The presi
dent Is In favor of maintaining and
strengthening the gold standard nnd In
this ho Is In complete accord with tlio
party and with a majority of the In
telligent voters of the country. . The republican
*
publican national platform speaks
plainly for the maintenance of the gold
standard. Mr. MeKlnley umiuallliedly
endorsed that declaration known to
him before It was presented to the con
vention during the campaign and It
was approved by the people. The re
sult of the election of 180(5 ( distinctly
committed the republican party and the
country to the gold standard nml that
is today as much the policy of the party
as protection Is.
Wo do not regard the plan of currency
reform presented by Secretary Gage as
being In all respects desirable , but his
position regarding the gold standard Is
sound. We conlldently believe that
President MeKlnley will not permit him
self to be Influenced. In this matter by
the silver men , or so-called blmetalllsts ,
whatever threats they may make. The
worst these gentlemen are likely to do
is to oppose tiny legislation favorable 'to
the gold standard.
AMKJttCAJf LOCOMOTIVES ATUtOAD.
American machinists and engineers
are stout defenders of American-made
locomotives , but the highest compliment
that has been paid to the builders of
American locomotives Is by the foreign
ers who have placed with American
manufacturers orders for hundreds of
locomotives in the past decade. When
Iron and steel could bo had in England
cheaper than In the United States , Eng
lish manufacturers were able to fill or
ders in almost evijry part of the world
at.prices that defled competition. It is
different now. The editor of a leading
engineering journal in New York re
cently wrote to a London newspaper
that In the past six months 200 orders
have been placed with American loco
motive makers for machinery for export.
Tills indicates the present status of the
business. Statistics showing 'the export
ot , American locomotives the past live
years and the first quarter of the cur
rent liscal year show the following :
Year. No. Value.
1893 195 $ l,79i,700
1894 142 1,028,330
1895 252 2,379,519
189G 2GL 2,512,270
1897 333 3,225,831
Three months ot 1898 80 582,979
Totals . .1 1,203 ? 11,523C44
Tlie.sc locomotives go to all parts of the
world. In four years closing with 180(5 ,
American manufacturers sent XKi loco
motives to Ura/.ll , fll to Chili , 129 to
Cuba , (51 ( to Japan , 02 to Mexico and
7 ( ! to Hussia. The demand in CHibn has
disappeared , but Itnssla. Mexico and
Japan are good buyers. The foreign de
mand now takes 10 per cent of the
product of American locomotive fac
tories.
Aside from the reduction in the cost of
Iron and steel In the United States , the
chief factor in enlarging the export
business of the American builders Is
that of increased use of machinery and
better machinery. In a Scotch shop
2,500 men built 200 locomotives In a
year , while in an American shop 1-lOft
men built I00 ! locomotives in the same
time. Tlio American laborers get higher
wages than the men In foreign shops ,
but their efllclency is greater.
The success of American locomotive
builders In making markets for their
products In all parts of the world ,
against competition that Is often espe
cially favored , while still maintaining
good wages for American workingmen ,
Illustrates the possibilities of American
mechanical genius and business sagacity
under tlio encouragement to which it is
properly entitled. Wherever American
locomotives go other American products
can go.
TllK AU.MY.
Military circles will be pleased at the
report that the senate and house lead
ers have come to an agreement in favor
of Senator llawley's bill providing for
Increasing the army by the addition
of two artillery regiments. The state
ment I.s that all opposition by the
lenders to the artillery bill has been
withdrawn and that the measure will
bo pushed to a vote soon after Hie hol
iday recess , This legislation Is recom
mended by the secretary of war and by
the general commanding the army , both
of whom have urged strong reasons In
support of such an Increase of the army.
The chief of these reasons Is that with
out two more regiments of artlller.v
the new seacoast fortlllcatlonh will be en
tirely usel is and thus the large ex-
pendlture of money on these defenses
will be thrown awny.
There Is no . question that for the
proper manning of these fortlllcntlons a
larger artillery force Is necessary and
this force will have to be Increased ,
sooner or later , beyond thu addition of
the two regiments proposed. These
may answer for the present , but even
with them the defenses will secure the
barest necessities In the way of care-
taking and practice. The fact Is gen
erally recognized that In view of the
condition of the revenue it Is an un
fortunate time for Increasing the army
nnd opposition to the artillery bill has
come largely from this consideration.

The full text of the constitution for
Cuba , which has just been published ,
does not glvo any additional Informa
tion In iTgartl to the plan of autonomy
plopo ed by the Spanish government ,
all essential points having been con
tained In the abstract some time ago
matle public. While this plan of re
form Is the most liberal eVer proposed ,
It still fulls short of giving the Cubans
that measure of autonomy which the
llrltlsh colonies enjoy and which gets
pretty close to Independence. The
governor general of Cuba will continue
to exorcise supreme authority , which Is
hardly consistent with a genuine plan of
autonomy. The Insular parliament Is
given largo powers with respect to gen-
eial legislation In local affairs , but the
grant thus made Is balanced by the
largo authority reposed in the governor
general. This olllcliil , the representa
tive of the Imperial government , exer
cises absolute control over the admin
istration , the army and navy , appoints
the Judiciary and has a .suspensory
veto on legislation. lie also appoints
seventeen of the thirty-live members of
the upper house of the Insular parlia
ment and with all the patronage In his
bunds would have no dllllcully In al
ways having at his command a majority
of that body.
The Cuban Insurgents , however , have
very plainly expressed their opinion of
this plan of autonomy. They utterly
reject It and there does not appear to
bo any reason to expect that any con
siderable number of them will change
their minds. At present they under
stand that this offer of autonomy , pro
mulgated by royal decree , has to pass
the ordeal of the Spanish Cortes. What
that body will do In regard to it no one
can foresee. If the Cubans were to
accept autonomy now the Cortes might
nullify it or require material modifica
tions of the plan. Hence they will
wait. But there is really very little
cliunco , If there be any at all , of the
proposed policy being accepted. The
Unban patriots are. lighting for Inde
pendence and tlie hope oC freeing them
selves absolutely from Spanish control
is so strong that they will listen to nu
proposition , no plan or policy , that does
not look to this.
AMERICA * ' PHOl'OSAIj DECLINED.
There will be no surprise , at the
declination of tlio llrltlsh government ,
Instigated by Canada , to enter Into an
agreement to stop pelagic sealing. No
one at all conversant with Canadian
.sentiment on this question can have
seriously expected that the proposal of
our government would bo accepted.
Premier Lnuricr was- - reported to have
said when in tlio United States that
Canada did not regard , tlio sealing mat
ter as being very important , but subse
quent developments showed that It is
deemed by the Canadian government to
have possible value as a means of co
ercing our government to make conces
sions as to other matters. Doubtless
that government expects that as a result
of the refusal to enter Into an agreement
to stop pelagic sealing it will be enabled
to secure reciprocity and other conces
sions from the United States.
Perhaps this Is good diplomatic play ,
but It Is quite possible that it may prove
otherwise. The Lnurier government
may flnd that In- thus treating an en
tirely fair proposal of the United States
It lias obstructed the way to an amicable
settlement of other matters In contro
versy between the two governments and
that It has raised a new ditilculty to the
attainment of Its leading desire a rec
iprocity treaty. The self-respecting
course of our government will be to drop
all proposed or contemplated negotia
tions until Canada .shall show a dispo
sition to treat with the United States on
an equitable basis and in a neighborly
spirit. i

Once upon a tlmo a "blizzard" was a

supposed to be a native of the wild prairies
of the west. People out there probably BO
regard It still. But newspapers In this part
of the world had an opportunity once to
"write up" a genuine blizzard and ever since
that 'memorable occasion they have cm-
ployed the term to designate whit the ir

Perhaps the ranchers as they tight their

In the current number of American Trade
there Is an articleon "The English Market
for American Goods" which gives some
facts and figures of peculiar value and sig
nificance to merchants and manufacturers
In this country.
One of the features of this article , a news
letter from London , Is a table in which la
given a list of exports of fourteen leadlna
articles of American manufacture- 1S9U ,
as contrasted with the same exports foi
1890. . It Is a remarkable fact that In not
one" instance Is there- & decrease , and in
some the exports have Increased from 10
to 15 per cent In six years. Moat noticeable
end significant , perhaps and of oypeclal Im
portance. to St. Louis , are the figures re
lating to tmlldors1 hardware , tools , toibacc&
and wood manufactures. Of these , the ex.-
ports of the first have Increased from $594-
590 In 1890 to $1,319,423 In 189C ; of the sec
ond. from , $1071,005 In 1890 to $1,534,862 In
1890 ; of the third , from $1,528,338 in 1890 to
$2,435,393 , In 1890. "This in Itself , " the let
ter comments , "establishes the fact that the
United Kingdom Is n solid and growing mar
ket for American manufactures. "
The letter also tells of a steadily Increas
ing demand for farming Implements and
tools from the United States , for street
cars , bicycles , American buggies and other
light vehicles , all sorts of hardware , type
writers , general machinery and American
boots and shoea. In this last trade , indeed ,
which \a \ also possessed of direct significance
to St. Louis , there Is shown under the head
of leather and manufactures of leather as
Increased export of vast dimensions , the
figures for 1890 being $8,742,497 , as against
$12,718,513 for 1890 , The letter calls atten
tion to the fact that In London alone there-
Is a market of C 000,000 buyers of good *
of American manufacture , open to purchase
without prejudice if prlco and quality are
satisfactory.
Judging from these evidently authorita
tive ( statistics , the tlmo has gone by when
American manufacturers are unable to com
pete with the world in establishing a mar
ket for their goods.

Indianapolis Journal ( rep. )
In urging economy and retrenchment of
expenditures the Journal Is by no means
certain that It has the ear of congress , but
It is confident that It represents the interests
and sentiments of the people. To make a
new application of a much overworked phrase ,
II would remind congressmen that govern
ment of the people , by the pecrile and for
the perplo should mcaii , first of all , econom
ical government. The mans of the American
people bollove In economy , A large majority
of them practice it In their own affaire , and
would Hko to see It applied In public affairs.
They have a right to expect that It will be.
Under the best possible management the cost
of the various kinds of government In tills
country Is very great. The aggregate ex-
nrases of national , state , county , township
and municipal government are simply tppal-
llng , and no matter what term of taxation
is adopted It ull has to come out of the pee
ple. Something may bo gained by a wise
adjustment of the burden to the backs of the
people so as to cause a minimum of friction ,
.but no matter how It la adjusted the burden
Ivis to bo borne. It la , therefore , the mani
fest and Imperative duty of all public officials ,
from Hie highest to the lowest , and especially
of those who arproprlato public moneys , to
exercise the strictest economy , This li true
at all times , but particularly when , as now ,
the pocple are Just emerging from A long
period of hard times and whtn the receipts
of the national government have fallen behlod
Its expenditures every month for three yearn.
A member or congress wlio does not rccoRnlto
the necessity for retrenchment and economy
utidor such circumstances Is not fit to bo
called a representative of Iho people.
Kxnmlnstlon of the appropriation bills of
recent years ahows nn lucrcapo in nearly all
the Important Items ot expenditure out of
proportion to tlio Increase of population or
the growth of government business. This
statement holds true for more llvin twenty
years past , but , going back tnly ten years ,
wo find trial lo 18S7 thetolal expenditures
of tto Kovcmmont , exclusive of Interest on
the public debt , were $2CS,093S50 , npllnet
$327.983,049 'In ' 1S.17. An Inr-rcn/m In llm or
dinary expenditures of the government of
$59,8S9,199 In ten years Is altogether too
much. This exceeds the total expenditures
ot the government In any year from Its
formatted to 1S55. It Is startling to compare-
the enormous cxpcmlltmcs of the govern
ment at pressuit with , those during any year
ot the first halt of the century. In 1SOO tlio
total expenditures were $7,411,369 ! In 1810
< ney were $5.311,082 ; in 1S20 tlicy were $13-
134,530in ; 1S30 they were $13,229,533 ; In 1810
they wcro $24,139,020 ; lo 1S50 they were $37-
105,990 ; In 1SOO they were $ CO,05i > ,751. These
expenditures < 5ccm Insignificant compared
with these ot reasnt yc-ars , $327,9S3,049 last
year , und estimated at $469,227.076 for 1S9S.
It Is Impossible to explain this steady In-
crcaao In the ordinary expenditures of the
government ; In other worda , In the cost of
Ksveromont Itself , on any other theory except
n growing spirit of extravagance and reck-
Irssnetu In npproprlatlog public mcocy. The
cvidenco ot this Is seen In the fact t'.at the
appropriations Increase from year to year.
They Increased from $352,179.146 In 1S9G to
$3C5,774,1G9 , 'In 1S97 , und the estimated ex
penditures for 1893 are $409,227,976. There can
bo no doubt that this steady Increase covers
many extravagancies nnd some abus > c . The
river and harbor hill U full of these and
the bills to appropriate money for now pub
lic buildings cover iiMliy more. In the pres
ent condition of public nuances it is doubtful
It congress ought to appropriate a dollar for
cither of these purposes except to carry cm
or protect \\orks already begun. Dut U Islet
lot necewiry to specify. There arc abundant
opportunities to retrench and economize If
congress wcuta to do It. II is not fie way
that is lacking ; it la the will and the nerve.
The field Is ripe and the harvest -Is ripe. It
la ally necessary for the appropriations com-
mlttco to enter 11 with n big pruning hook
and cut right and lelt.

The first census ot the Ilusslan empire
ever taken has been completed , though all
the details have not yet been published.
Tlio main data , however , ns furnished bj
those In possession of It , are extremely Inter
esting , as showing the possible future ot
the vast domain of the czar , ns yet In tin
comparative infancy of its power.
The entire population of Ilussla numbers ,
129,211,111 souls , ot whom 94,188,750 Inliaibll
Europctm. Hussia. The density of the popu
lation varies In different provinces , hut on
the average is not much over half that ol
the 'United States , and- the density ot th ! &
country Is hardly one-twentieth of that ol
the moro thickly populated countries of
Europe.
Some idea , then , may be had of the vaet
population that Till yet 'inhabit Russia. Slit
his already nineteen cities containing ovei
100,000 souls each , and thirty-five which
have between 50,000 and 100,000. On the.
average the number of iralcs Just about
equals that of the females.
But for Russia's remarkable death rate
she would naturally be upto the Malthu-
slan standard of Increase of population
which- makes It double once In twenty-five
years. But she Is making rapid progress
In medicine and hospital service , and hoi
sanitary condition will yet be up to the or
dinary European level.
Even at the present rate of Increase , however -
over , Russia's population will reach over
175,000 000 within the next twenty years ,
and with her rapid railway , commercial anil
agricultural progress she to yet bound to
become , next to the United States , the most
notable inatlonal figure on the planet.

Chicago News : The operation may not b *

In rare eases where the llto of the patient
Is dependent upon relief from some sort of
stomach trouble. The fact remain- ? that the
performance Is of gcnt Importance as an
Indication that the dlseMlve uml assimilative
power of the stomach has been overestimated
and that much work of the kind is performed
by Intestinal organs which hvive bei I tutu

Granted that the stomach wns an Indls-
ponrablo part of ihp vital ayi'tom ; thai , wr h-

Philadelphia Hccord : Tint the stomach tenet
not the solo alimentary i nd digestive organ
or function of the body ROCS without the say-

event , scarcely perform 'die ' olllces which
nornvjlly devolve on Kio human stomach , and
In the case of an agel patient It would not
seem to be possible under E-.iy circumstances
for any inidi'eu evolutionary or fuietlonal
change of process to operate. PorlKpa In this
rartlcular case of Icog-dandlng disease , In
which decay and disuse had slowly occurred
the ciitlrc fojd I'sslmllatlng properties of the
human body , outside of the stomach Itself ,
may have been forced gradually to originate
a tiow mode of action and reaction. Never

open furult'lied concerning the surgical oper
ation in this Instance and the peculiar his
tory of the oiso made public It will bo Im
possible for a laymen to deliver any valid
opinion. Th.'s particular case is In all prob
ability an abnormal product of local causes
and from It no general surgical tru'th can bo
predicated.
