THE SUN ON THE DEPRESSION.
Its View of the Cause-Some Things Thai
Are Not Responsible,


Are Not Responsible.
New YORK, April S-The Sun has a nota-
Bile editorial under the caption: what Makes
the Bad Times" in reply to correspondent
who attributes the depression TO the with
drawal of national bank notes from circula-
tion. The Sun shows that money
was never so cheap as now
and that as the depression extends
throughout Europe as well as the United
States it cannot be attributed to q gold
standard or b tariff laws, nor to anything
in the condition of our shipping and ocean
transportation, for it exists" says the
article, ain ElglaGl, where thsre i, an un.
precedent9i extension OF the merchant
marine Just ao severely, or even more
SO, than in this country, where for
many years our merchant marine has
been gradually declining. Nor yet is it
caused by failure of the crops or by wars or
famnes in any part of the world. The
crops have generally been good for several
years. ami no wars or famines of any ac-
count have existed; yet we may say in
general way that the depression is the result
of overproduction-tha is to say, of spend
ing money and labor in ways that are not
profitable and that give no return"
The Sun concludes as follows: yet while
this great collapse is indisputable and ire
sistible, we may well be contented over the
fact that it is not so destructive as it might
be, and that business is quite as good and the
situation of the country quite as encourag-
ing as we ought to expect. There are
many workers out of employment, and
hardly any enterprise is making much
money; yet most people are getting enough
to eat and enough to wear and are living
along in happiness with reasonable economy.
The country is rich and sound to the core
and when all the inflated and delusive con
Germs are settled up and cleared away we
shall find that we are a deal better off than
the philosophers of calamity and despair
have imagined.

Loss of Teacupful of Blood by the Suf-
ferer.
CHICAGO, April S.-The following, giving
an account Of the alarm in the Grant house
hold Tuesday morning, has been received:
New YORK, April S.-About 3:45 this
morning a messenger boy dashed hurriedly
down the stops of Gen. Grants house and
rushed toward the telegraph Office on Madi-
son avenue, near Sixty-sixth street. The
lad held in his hand two notes, one addressed
to Dr. H. B. Sands and the other to DIR.
George F. Shrady. A few minutes after
another messenger boy rushed out
of the Grant residence bearing notes
for Gen Chaffee, Gen. Badeau and
the Rev. DIR. Newman. Gen Ba-
deau was the first to arrive, being driven
rapidly in a carriage to the door. He imme-
diatey rushed up the stairs, was admitted
and proceeded at once to Gen. Grants room
A horse at full gallop dragged the coupe o:
Dr. Shrady up to the door at 4:55 a. m. A
few minutes later DR.. Sands arrived,
bearing case of instruments, although
it afterwari was learned that no surgical
operation was necessary. U. S. Grant, Jr,
and Senator Chaffee reached the house
about sos. evidently in great perturbation
DR.. Shrady in response to a question, said
that DR.. Douglas was quietly sitting by Gen.
Grant, when the latter suddenly had a
slight hemorrhage from the throat DR..
Douglas took such measures as were neces-
sary, and sent for Drs. Sands AMI Shrady.
Gen. Grant said: There is no use sending
for the other doctors; you are enough.
Gen. Grant elected about two ounces of
nl hos hn 1,;r
face with his hand and appeared calm and
| collected. Senator Chnffee left the house at
6;15 He sail: He had an injection of
morphia at 6 a. H., and think he will live
| through the day. He lost a teacupful of
blood He was so collected that he directed
those attending him to hold the vessel so that
no blood would reach the floor"
DR. Shrady at o'clock said that Gen.
Grant was asleep and that he was doing as
well as could be expected under tho circum
stances. He also stated that DR.. Douglas
was taking much-needed rest.
The hemorrhage in Gen. Grants throat
| this morning was the incident that had beer
| feared by those nearest to the patient The
| immediate result was not strangulation
as had been anticipated by those in attend
ance and by the general himself. Just how
serious the result would be on the genera
condition of the patient could not be foretolc
early in the morning, but at $50 there wa
no perceptible increase of debility or weak
ness caused by the lost of blood.
The hemorrhage this morning in Gen
Grants throat was arterial blood. The gen
eral does not seem to be at all alarmed, anC
the family was not very greatly frightened
The hemorrhage was due somewhat TO tn
increase of the disease, and was induced by
a momentary fit of coughing.
