HARR1soN,s FIRST YEAR.

1t is observable that in all the news
paper reviews of the first year of HAIR
RISoN'S administration there are but
few, and very few, words of commenda-
ton spoken by even the extreme Repub-
Iican organs. The Democratic papers
unite in scathing criticisms, while good
ly number of liberal Republican journals
talk in the same vein. of the regular
Republican papers, the bulk are apollo
getic in tone, vainly trying to find some
excuse for the inactivity of the admin
istratiOn and its positive failure to full
fill the many promises made by the
party leaders during the last campaign.
A few, and only few, have the te
merity to uphold the administration, and
to assert that it has accomplished all
that could be reasonably expected of it.
The apOlOgiStS, who constitute the
bulk of the Republican journals, enter
plea Of defense, setting forth that the
time has been too short for the admins
tration to formulate policy. They
claim that one year is not sufficient time
to test the strength of any administra-
ton, but that it is proper to wait until
this congress has completed its work in
order to give the administration an OPP
portunity to show its hand. Why this
claim is set up, or should be entitled to
recognition, is difficult to conjecture.
1t is certainly not following the line of
precedent. Heretofore it has been the
rule for an incoming president
to block out a policy for his
administration and leave 1t to con-
gress to work up the details. 1t is
certain that Mr.. CLEVELAND had not
been in the executive chair one year
until the country understood his posi-
ton on all public questions. So far, the
only symptom of policy that has been
developed by the HARRISON admins
tration originated in the treasury de-
p rtment, and is more Familiarity known
as the WINDOW silver plan. This is the
sum total of administration policy, and
it is not matter of surprise that even
the head of the administration hesltates
to accept it: for more ridiculous finan-
cial proposition was never presented to
the country. The truth is, the admins
TONS first year has been of the most
negative quality, and it is likely to re-
main in passive condition for the re-
mainder Of its term, while in the mean
time the times grow harder and the NUT
terings of the people grow louder.

citation with this great event. We admit
the time is very short within which to
complete arrangements for the fair, but
if congress will hurry up with the pre-
liminaries and give the Chicago folks a
chance to get to work, we venture
guarantee that the fair will be ready for
the opening in April. 1892 We are sorry
to discover On the part of the New York
faction disposition to retard the move
ments of congress in this matter. and to
impose burthens and responsibilities
upon Chicago which were not contem
plated in the beginning of this move
ment. This has the appearance Of spite
work, and is altogether unworthy of the
New York folks. They were beaten,
and beaten fairly, in the contest
for the site; and now, If they cannot
support the enterprise with the same
enthusiasm that the people of all other
parts of the UniIed States are support
ing it, they ought. at least, be willing to
step aside and let the work proceed
without further interference. The eX-
position has passed beyond the stage OF
being regarded as local concern. 1t
has now risen to the dignity and i'm
portance of national affair, and appeals
most strongly to the spirit of national
pride. There are no longer any ''its"
or ''ands' about it. The exposition has
got to be success, and the success
must be achieved in 1892. So we say in
all kindness to our New York friends.

or somebody will run them down.

sHERMAN's DOUBT.

That was significant remark of SEN
ator SHERMAN in the senate the other
day, that he thought perhaps it would
have been better had the amendment
giving the negroes the suffrage not been
adopted. This was his conclusion after
an experience of twenty years. There
is no doubt that it was at the time dis
tasteful eXpedient to the senator and
many of those who acted with him. 1t
was not a measure calculated to pro-
mote the immediate interests of the
emancipated slaves, as they were utterly
ignorant and unfit for the duties III
volved in domination at the ballot box.
1t was not such a policy as ABRAHAM
LINCOLN would have favored. He
would have made the approach to that
prerogative gradual and the result of
preparation. But the partisanship of
the hour was intolerant, and its work is
a finality. Mr.. SHERMAN can not recall
it if he would. No wonder there has
been friction and disorder at times. and
in localities, as the sequence of the sud-
deu advent of million of untaught
men at the polls, inspired by deIusive
and chaotic dreams.

makers in both of the Dakotas was un-

were it not for the limitations of

have been no difficulty in provid-
ing means for all the requisite relief at

These inevitably cause misrepresentation
of the situation and its transtory and
exceptional causes. They afford oppor-
tunities to those interested in diverting
migration elsewhere to get in effective
work. The saving due to the legal re-

A GOOD RIDOANCE.

The first state legislature of North
Dakota expired last night by Limitation,
and it is not strange that there are no
mourners around it's bier. 1t succeeded
in giving North Dakota the worst send
off young state ever had, and it is
devoutly to be wished that its like may
never be seen again. The lottery
scheme, which gave it national noto-
riety, is by no means the worst feature
of this historic legislature. There was,
perhaps. tenfold more corruption in the
election of senators than there was in
the lottery deal, but it was not SO well
advertised. There were other features
of jobbery that never saw light
for the simple reason that the
Republican politicians deemed it
policy to keep the matter in
the dark. And then there was great
deal of hypocrisy on the part of the
state administration when the lottery
scheme was exposed The state officials

Three Bodies Taken From the In

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. March 1S.-The
work of clearing away the wreckage of
the great fire of the Bowen-MerrilI es-
Enlistment continued throughout to-
day with renewed energy. Those who
had begun work Immediately after the
crash occurred labOred on through the
day without regard for themselves.
They are much deserving of praise. The

perilouo positions and welcomed them

GUS people began to gather again in the
morning. Ropes were extended from
the curbstone from every side of the
building to street car tracks on Wash
ington street and policemen guarded
them to keep the crowd back. No one
was allowed to cross the tracks into the
space left open for the ambulance and
carriage wagons. The persistence of the
crowd IN their endeavors to push their
way closer to the mass of ruins was
probably only exceeded by its curiosity.
Almost from the time the first streaks
of the coming daylight appeared streams
of people appeared on the streets and
avenues, all vending their way to one
common center, the SmOuldering ruins.
Those who had business or work to do

news and left again with expressions of
the awfulness of the calamity. Others

better than crowds usually debut

NOT so RAPID.

The indispOSition of the railroads to
hasten the extension of their lines to
the Missouri river, across the new lands
to the Black Hills, indicates that the
settlement of the vacated Indian coun-
try is not to be quite on the Oklahoma
plan. Otherwise the local business
would be an important inducement. 1t
is probably fortunate for the region that
it is not to be very largely gobbled up
by spectators, but only available for
permanent settlers. 1t will make its oc-
cupaucy a matter of more time, but the
better for the country in the end. 1t is
expected the Milwaukee road will COM
mence the extension of its liae this sea-
son, and good beginning for the settle
ment of the lands will be made. The
greater part of the 100 miles from the
river to the Hills is through a region as
fertile, well wateyed and generally as
desirable for agricultural purposes as
the average of South Dakota. A railroad
is the chief need to expedite settlement.

ONE OF THE EXAMPLES.

Almost any eXpedientin finance, how
ever novel it may seem to those who
are caught with it, has some historical
suggestion. Often the precise scheme
may be found spread out, with full
picture of its operation. and the Sc
uuences connected with it. The prof.
ect credited to the millionaire senator
from California. to fill the pockets of all
real estate owners with money at low
rate of interest, has an illustration in
France a century old. The senator adj
Yances the theory that lands with fixed
values are first-clasS security for cur
rency; in fact, little better than gov
eminent bonds. There was a some
what radical change in the national
management in France in the latter
part of the last century, and the gov
eminent came in possession Of an i'm
mense amount of real estate, comprising
that confiscated from the religious es-
Establishments and the estates of
the nobility that had been ban
iShed or dispossessed. 1t was first
class property, and met all the
conditions suggested by the California
senator as needful for basis Of issue.
It was in 1870 that the idea possessed
the national legislature to utilize this
property to make things float on high
seas. In that year it issued the value
of the lands in paper notes called as
signats. There was no discount On the
worth of The property. 1t Was as good
as wheat, silver ore or any other article
of recognized value. Consequently,
there would be no doubt that issues on
such basis would keep their face intact.
The land would not depreciare, conse-
Quenty the Representatives of it would
have no financial Encouragement The
political fnanciers Of that time so
thought and they had enough of this
security to make money plenty. In
three years time the issue reached the
enormous total Of S,000,000.000. With
a'population hardly half that Of the
United States now, this must have real
lied the vision of those who
suppose that prosperity is of ne
cessity in proportion to the currency
of the country. But it had begun to
deprecate badly. AS the issues in
creased the depreciation correspondent.
At the end of three years the value OF
the assignats was not more than one
third of their face. A franc in specie
would buy three of them. The govern
ment gave them all its countenance. but
it was unable to check the decadence.
In six years it reached almost the last
stages of Confederate money-S1,2 200 to
81 in gold. The losses fell mostly upon
the poorer classes, as usual, and caused
an immense amount of suffering. They
were still good for their face in these
government lands. and some specu-
lators acquired much of the real estate
in this way, This was followed by
mandatS, better and legal tender issue,
that could be foreclosed on the lands al
once without having them sold. But
they were also a failure. and soon
dropped out, most of them being used
in payment OF taxes. Those who would
bloom out as great modern financiers
will do well to observe things behind a
little.

BISMARCK'S RESIGNATION.

A disagreement between ruler and
his prime minister is matter of such
common occurrence as ordinarily to eX-
cite but little interest. But the quarrel
between the German emperor and
Prince BISMARCK is so far-reaching in
its consequences that all the world is
startled by the announcement of BIS
MARCK's resignation. and still more
astonished that the emperor should so
promptly accept his resignation. 1t
seems almost impossible that during
BIsMARCK's life German affairs could
De directed by any other hand than his
own. 1t was his brain that conceived
the consolidation of the German empire.
and his genius that achieved it. He
established the elder WILHELM upon the
most powerful throne of Europe, and is
to-day without peer in the ranks
of European craftsmanship. A man
Of iron will and obstinate nature,
still he has ever been the most loyal
friend to German interests and the
Wisest counselor that German mon
archy ever had. 1t was ventureSOme
thing for the young emperor to quarrel
with such minister, and will be con-
strued as an act of inexcusable rash
ness. To part company with BISMARCK
in the present crisis of European affairs
has the appearance of reckless dlSre-
gard of German interests, and unless
the emperor is man Of more abilities
than he is popularity supposed to be, he
will perhaps have occasion to repent of
his rashness. The disappearance of
BIsMARcK's hand from the helm will
give fresh encouragement to other Eu-
ropean nations to dispute the further
progress of German power, and there is
strong possibility that the old chan
cellOr may yet live to enjoy his revenge
in witnessing the discontinue of the
young madcap who now occupies the
German throne.
