The World thinks ''some eminent and
large-minded civil engineer" rather than a
senate committee should look after the cheap
transportation problem.
An exchange says that for twenty years the
stocks of iron have not been SO low as they

iron has rarely been SO light or the sacrifices
made by dealers so great as at present.

TIE attention of the country is concen-
York. The suspension of Jay Cooke G. Co.
has created dstrust OF all other institutions
AMI a series of suspensions of some of the
strongest houses in New York is announced
with more likely TO follow. Signs Of weak
ness are also shown in Philadelphia, Boston
and Chicago, and failures in those cities may
be looked for. The Jay Cooke & Co. sus-
pension will probably be bat temporary, as
the partners OF the house represent a capital
of over S20,000,000, and their assets must
very largely exceed their liabilities. We may
confidently expect this magnificent house to
resume business shortly as strong and pros
porous as ever. The other suspensions seem
not to have been caused, in general, by any
connection with this firm. The same causes
the tighness Of money, excessive advances
to railroads aud the operations of the ''bear"
clique in stocks-which embarrassed Jay
Cooke & Co. have operated with like effect
upon the other houses. The extent of the
calamity is not yet certain. The great run is
being made upon the Union Trust Company,
which at present advices is making manful
stand. Later dispatches may give more def
mite information about their situation, and
that of Henry Clews & Co. and Vermilye &
Co., who are shaky. The banks are holding
their own money for their own protection
and commercial interests are likely to suffer
from the difficulty in obtaining discounts.

E. L. Barney, who holds an office in Mas

sued the New Bedford Standard for libel,
putting his damages at $4,000. The libel is
embodied in a charge that Mr.. Barney peck
eted Washburn votes at recent caucus In
New Bed ord. We have no doubt that the
gentleman is innocent; but there are such
strange oversights in politics that it might be
well for him to secure and examine The

At the last meeting of the San Francisco
board Of supervisors bills against the city for
election expenses were presented amounting
to S21, 1903 So The whole number of votes
cast was $4,000, an expense of eighty-one
cents for each vote. OF course this doesn't
include the outside expenses of stump-speak-
ers, brass bands, printing and committees.
Taking these into account it is safe to reckon
the expenses at a dollar vote. San Fran
ciScans are asking il it is worth the money.
The N. Y. Times holds that Mr.. Sgornes,
the latest discoverer of Livingstone, is wise

The Eclectic Failure.

To the Editor Of the Press
So far as this State is concerned there will
not be much suffering OH account of the failure
of the Eclectic as there were only about doz-
zen policies in force here. In the end it will
prove benefit to the people. Insurance meu

our insurance laws been strictly enforced it
would never have been admitted into the State.

ceipts in the payment of death losses and work
ing expenses. Its death losses were enormous.
considering the amount of risk, reaching to
nearly $130,000, with only 2777 polices in force,
and on total income of $244, 900. In fact The
death losses consumed the current insurance
fund and nearly the entire reserve besides,
showing conclusively that the company owes
its demise to something besides excessive ex-
penses.
