Added TO the rigors of the terrible
billiards. that have prevailed in the
northeast, as well as northwest. this
winter, the nervous tension of the people
n the east, at least, was put to an addi-
tional strain by what they believed to be
earthquake shocks. An influential pa
per of that section, approaching the
stress of the situation, offers this reassur-
ing suggestion: These reports of earth
4uakes are very interesting, but we beg
to suggest that loud, rumbling noises.
and even tremors of the ground, come
every cold winter as a result solely of
frost. They are not the serious kind of
quake, only sort of cold shivers."

James Gordon Bennett is perhaps the
most enterprising newspaper publisher
in the world, but there are few things
for him to learn yet, one of which is that
American ideas and ways of doing
things are not TIE right thing, from the
standpoint of expediency, in Europe.
For instance, criticism of Bismarck by
Benefits Paris edition of the Herald
caused the great German premier to boy
colt that paper. Policy, James, policy,
is necessary. You know the German
government don't like republics any too
well anyway, particularly the French
and American, and both are involved in
this little episode.

The city of Dubuque, Iowa, will cele-
brate the one hundredth anniversary of
its settlement some time this year, prob
ably on the third of March. the forty
third anniversary of the admission Of
Iowa into the Union, since it is an
nounced that the state government will
take part in the celebration. Dubuque
though not as populous as some of the
cities of its latitude today still maintains
the distinction of being one of the chief
trade centers, as it has since John Du-
buque planted his trading camp at that
point one hundred years ago. We have
no doubt the enterprising Hawkeyes will
commemorate the dual events in a be-
coming manner.

CONGRESS MUST ACT.

The monetary stringency now affiict-
ing the country must be relieved. and
that Immediately, or financial crash as
disastrous as that of 1887 will follow and
soon. The proposition to allow national
banks to issue up to the full value of
their security bonds, would add ten per
cent to that particular circulation. or
some thirty million more to the currency
which would be temporary relief, but
only temporary. Under our revenue
laws such an addition would be gain
absorbed and added to the already I'M
reasonably large surplus held by the
treasury. Congress must act. Cut off
the internal tax on tobacco and whisky
if nothing better can be done. Neither
protectionist or free traders can object to
that on principles. Believing that con-
gress will not act, at least not promptly,
the great volume of money properly be-
longing to the circulation is being stowel
away by individual capitalists which
they propose to double by taking ad-
vantage of the stress Of the threatened
panic.
Will congress act?

Neal Dow, the father of the prohibition
movement. has been interviewed again
and he reiterates the oft repeated story
that his party is going to sweep everything
before it, He says, however, that the
main work of the Prohlbitionists this year
will be done in New York; and as that will
probably help Cleveland to carry the state
and the country, the Prohibition party will
be of some service in the next campaign
h. c. Star.
This admission of Mr.. Dow is not new
to the public as to the purpose of the
Prohibition party as an organization. 1t
has given itself away too often hereto
fore to be mistaken. The only practical
results to prohibition have been obtained
through and by the Republican party,
and the reward it has received for its
efforts and sacrifices in this matter from
the outside champions of the cause has
been a black eye or stab in the back
Why they should afford aid and comfort

but creditable to the race. That
it is true more's the pity for the country.

The Globe-Democrat thinks there is
considerable force in the suggestion of
Governor Hills friends that if the Demo-
cratic party must have a candidate who
can carry New York, it had better drop
the man who came within ,040 votes of
losing the state in 1894, and take the
man who carried it the next year by a
majority of II. 900. The difference in
the relative strength of the two is not
very great, it is true. but in a pivotal
state and close contest to increase
chances by the accession of something
like II 900 votes becomes an important
matter to the party that feels the need of
every little help obtasnable.
