The Nntion,s Money.

New YORK, Sept. 7.-Secretary Fos-

important statement: "The irresponsi-
BILE statements published to the effect
that the treasury will be practically ex-
hausted by the payment of $27,OOO,0OO

fact that we had in the treasury yester-

contingent liability.of $47,OOO,0OO, leav-

AS to the 47.0OO,O0O of cash reserved
to cover the contingent liability, if held
by bank $4o,OoO,0O0 of it could be
loaned with absolute safety. The best
answer to these critics is that the bonds
will be paid tomorrow, if presented, and
the strain on the treasury will not be

result. More than twenty-five millions

the treasury, will be put into circula.

Improvement in Clay Working.
BosroN, Mass, Sept. IA. b. Hews
& Co., pottery manufacturers of North
Cambridge, have introduced a novel
method of treating clay before using it
in their manufactures. which has in
volved the erection of large building
in front of their clay pits. Heretofore
the stones in the clay have been a seri-
GUS nuisance, and no system of crush
ing has been able to eliminate them.
The stones lack an adhesive quality and
cause flaws in the goods. By the new
method of treatment the clay is to be
thrown into a revolving cylinder and
thoroughly dried over fire. It is then
to be carried to 'whipper'' and
pounded or Broken into small pieces,
thus being separated from the stones
Next, it is to be taken to an inclined
sieve. and the refined clay drops through
free from stone. 1t is then to be thrown
into large bin, soaked with water to
soften. it again. and left till needed in
the manufact ry. The clay is trans.
ported from one location to another in
its several stages by machinery. The
plant will lie finished and in operation
within a couple of weeks, and will un-
doubtedly attract considerable attention
among olayworkers.

FASHION NOTES.

Some wonderful embroideries are used
for the corselet bodiccs and for the in
terror Of high Medici collars, but the
most fashionable people adjure the coll
lars cut OH the cross, with seam down
the centre OF the back. The smartest
high collars stand out broad at the side,
with an edging OF feathers, forming n
becoming background to the neck, n
reproduction Of the fashions OF the
Venetian dunes in the middle ages.
With warm underwear the white
nainsook guimpes are worn through
winter. Skirts are of medium length
and are gathered nine times out of ten.
Sleeves are high and full as we'll. Waists
are Of a natural length and have side
forms usually, with round or squire
neck and the front trimmed in divers
ways.
Some Of the newest wells being worn
ut this moment are the clear Russian
nets with the skeleton plush spots.
Many people are giving up the unbe-
coming plan OF wearing wells reaching
to the chin, and liave fallen back on the
old one OF letting them end Just below
mouth.
Growing girls look well in the round
waists, jacket aud coat effects, but it is
great mistake to trim these dresses
deliberately. Chiffon yokes and full
sleeves appear on the handsomcst
house frocEs for girls Of atl ases.
Since corntiowcrblue has become the
rage, bright blue foulartls with white
figures are exceedingly fashionable, and
these are made with white cordings and
relieved with little chemisettes or full
habit fronts Of soft white silk.
All the newest summer fabrics have
Pompadour nosegays and designs on
them, or Pompadour embroideries.
These are worked in very open floral
patterns in white, elongated, oval, or
shuitle-shaped spots.
Sleeves on elegant indoor toilets are
most Of them OF the Venetian type, and
the bodices long, straight and pointed.
They recall the ornate styles Of the Tu-
dor period, when women certainly look
their hest.
Boots and shoes have round or square
toes-the pointed ones are supposed to
have gone OUTPUT | think they are GER

end some relief from fancied wrongs.
The great majority, however, are in
telligent, practical men, and the widely
impractical theories Of the visionary
politicians who lead the third party
movement have little weight with
them. This reasoning is apparently
confirmed by the resoluti6tis adopted at
the Grafton convention, for they do
not favor third party and leave the
members free to act with any purely
political organization.
Such is the situation at present, but
It is nearly fifteen months before the
election. and what may be accomplished
in the meantime in the matter Of forcing
the third party movement in West Vir-
ginia it is impossible TO conjecture.
Should the Alliance in this State con-
clude to adopt the third party plan next
year, the organization is sufficiently
strong to complicate the campaign.
With another year OF prosperity under
the Mckinley tariff, however, the Re-
publican party in West Virginia will
lose. comparatively few farmers from its
ranks, and will have reason to expect
accessions which will more than Offset
any losses.

rhn l,lr Standard oIl sIrlI,o.

Chicdgo Tribune
The Wheeling INTELLIGEScER tells of
q big strike made last week in Standard
oil. 1t was strike not at the wells, but
OH the exchanges, and was-a pronounced
success. The announcement was made
Thursday that the oil Of all the fields
would be equalized, each being paid
premium OF fifteen cents per barrel, re-
gardless of quality. Down went certiti-
cate oil tofifty cents and theStandardpeo-
pie were on hand to buy all offered ut
the reduction. Then it made another
announcement, to wit-that all pre-
miums were off and would remain off
except in the case OF Tiona oil. The
market rebounded twenty cents, such u
leap not having been known in years.
The INTEELiGgNcER says, editorially:
"This Is the sort Of thing Standard men
refer to when they speak Of the super
natural brain power 1t requires to ope-
rate their great company successfully.
Anybody who has brains enough 10 pick
pocket could do what the Standard
does ii 1t had the chance"
The only wonder in the case is that
people can be found foolish enough to
bet their money upon the ups and
dows OF prices for a product which is
controlled SO completely by what is
practically a one-man power. One
would think il they wanted to bet they
would at least wish to do so where they
stood something near an equal chance
and keep out OF market in which they
are sure to lose whenever their opera
tions are sufficiently large TO make it
worth the while OF a master. manipula-
tor to step in and take the poi" 1t is
different with producers, who have long
since found that their only hope for sue
cess is to accept the terms offered
them by the octopus. They have not
dared to complain, believing that to do
so would mean ruin to their business
and themselves. But surely it should
now be possible to raise the standard of
revolt from the tyranny and appeal to
the strong arm OF the law for protection
against the old-time consequences OF
asserting their independence. If the
United States Attorney for this district
is able to apply the law of the land to
combiners in stone and coal the same
law ought surely to be sufficient to
reach out and cover the case OF Standard
Oil, though that combination has a large
part of the country in its grasp If the
big monopolists were upset there would
not be much trouble in dealing with the
little onras
