for any wages that are offered. In Belgium
expert mechanics are in state of chronic
insurrection, in consequence of the scarcity
of work, while the Emperor of Russia is Of
fering premium for laborers to construct
his Siberian Railway. In specific articles
of merchandise alterations between scare
ity and superabundance are of yearly &C.
currence. The other day coal was worth
SIG ton in San Francisco and 81 30 at
Cleveland, Ohio; and potatoes, which were
slow of sale at 80 cents q bushel i'll Utah,
were in large demand at Los Angeles at
cents pound.
1t is the business of the merchant 10
keep track of these alterations, and where
a scarcity OF staple article occurs any
where to supply it from source where 1t
abounds. To conduct this business the
merchant must be bright and we'll informed;
he must be thoroughly posted on exchanges,
freights, and the consumptive capacity oil
markets. Few men engaged in trade possess
the necessary knowledge and acuteness to
strike out a new branch of what the Euro
peans call ''arbitrage" with satisfactory re-
suits. As TO the labor markets, the unions
try to keep their members posted on the tiuc-
tuations in the value of labor in the various
parts of the country. 1t is generally through
private letters that mechanics obtain their
information regarding an advance or de-
cline in wages in one place and another, and
the information needs TO be confirmed before
it can be acted on.
Some years ago the State Department, fol-
lowing the example Of the English and Ger
man Governments, undertook to supply the
people with accurate information, embodied
in consular reports, of the condition of
labor, trade. industry and production in
foreign countries. These reports, which
now constitute quite a library contain
mass of facts which are invaluable to the
merchant or 10 him who is prepared to seek
his fortune abroad. In them can be found
statistics of wages in every part of the
world, of prices of all commodities produced
i'll this country or imported into our markets
and Of the conditions under which agrlcul-
ture, commerce or industry can be con-
Quoted abroad. He who stables them care
fully knows precisely what he has to expect
if he eXpatriates himself or embarks in the
import or export trade with foreign ports.
1t would be good idea to extend the sys-
TEN to centers OF domestic activity. This
is SO large country that prices and wages
ductuete according to locality as widely as
they fluctuate between foreign States. II
would be a help to all who are engaged In
the battle Of life if they were kept con-
stantly Informed of the fluctuations, so that
they might take advantage of them, and at
the same time relieve il scarcity wherever 1t
occurred. Perhaps it is hardly the business
of the State Department to advertise that
the demand for young and healthy wives in
Minnesota is firm, with an upward tendency.
But certainly wherever spectators corner
coal or wheat good would follow the an
nouncement of the fact, so that owners of
those commodities should be set TO reckon
ing how they could dispose of their surplus
and break the corner.

PLANS OF DISTRIBUTION.

The part which sound system of distri-
button takes in the economy of the world is
cUriously illustrated by a story which is
told in the St. Paul Pioneer Press a New
York paper lately published an article in
which it was stated that there were in New
York City 10000 women, OF good character
and industrious habits, who were unable TO
find work at wages which would support
them. On this six Minnesota farmers wrote
to the Mayor of New York stating that they
were bachelors in Consequence of the scare
ty OF women in the section OF country in
which they live, and that if he would for
ward six young women they Che farmers
would see that they got husbands, or at any
Fate homes as well-paid domestic servants.
If the experiment answered it might be re-
peated on large scale. II is to be hoped
that it may, and that the migration OF
women from the Atlantic cities to the grain
growing States viii continue until no farmer
in the latter is doomed TO life OF celibacy
from the scarcity of girls.
To the observer of large sections of the
world area the spectacle is constantly pre-
sented Of scarcity not only OF population,
but OF food and other necessaries in one
place. and plethora Of the same in another.
The New York girl goes hungry because the
supply of girls is in excess of the employ
ment offered; and simultaneously the Min
nesota farmer leads miserable bachelor
life because he cannot find girl to marry
him. In Kansas the farmer in some in
stances, it is said, has to burn his corn for
fuel while the West of Ireland peasant
starves. The other dav there was in North
western China a famine which destroyed
hundreds of thousands Of lives, while rice
was so abundant in Se-chuen that it could
not be sold. Labor is so scarce in Neara-
qua that the work of digging the canal pro-
ceeds but slowly; few degrees north of
Central America men are willing to woisi

THE SENATORIAL SCANDAL.

The joint investigating committee admits
That it has followed Il trail to a point at
which a blank wall rises uD before it. 1t
has traced an amount Of greenbacks from
fresno to the hands Of a messenger Of the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company, it has
found the wrappings Of the greenbacks in
vaste-jasket in the State Librarians office,
Int it has not obtained positive evidence of
lie use that was made Of the money. That
Messenger Jones gave it to some person who
took il tp tie Librarians office is conclusive
otherwise the papers used for wrappers Of
t-r currency would not have been in the
Wa-te-bIsket. If Messenger Jones had been
f,rnd he might throw some light on the out
deer side If the transactions, but it is not at
ALI probable that Mr.. Jones knows what use
was made of the money. He may know
y Hom he handed il to, but not necessarily
for,Nhat purpose he had been instructed to
give it to that particular person. The facJs
that are known, taken in connection with
the de,ertion Of Estee, form a basis for the
assumption that the greenbaeks we're used
in the interest of Senator-elact FELTON,. Sup
POSING this assumption correct it does not
follow that Mr.. FELTON, knew that money
was being used in his behalf. Mr.. FELTON,
was in the hands of his friends. and his most
active and Influential friends were men
whom our Senator had had appointed to
Federal offices. The two Assemblymen who
had occupied the Iibrary-room just previous
10 The discovery of the tell-tale papers were
originally supporters of De Young, but had
passed over with the rest of the Crimmins
forces to the support of Mr.. FELTON,. Those
two men - Dibble aad Marion - probably
know what use was made OF the greenbacEs
Messenger Jones drew out of bank on
Southern Pacific check. The law which ex-
cu,es witnesses from giving evidence that
viii tend to criminate themselves renders
tine testimony of some of the parties value
less. Probably no serious attempt will be
made to reach the tools the Southern Pacific
Company appears to have used to effect its
purposes. 1t is much more certain that no
attempt will be made to bring the managers
Of that company into court. The fact mas
for a long time been established that the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company is above
the law. In California it cannot be made to
ply its taxes, and in Washington it cannot
be made to pay interest on its bonds. This
immunity from legal accountability has
been gained by such means as are indicated
in the report Of the joint investigating COM
mittee. Early in its career the company
may have concluded that it cost less to elect
Senators and Representatives in Congress,
members Of State Legislatures and courts
than to pay its just debts.

THE pooL-RooM ORDINANCE.

When the pool-room ordinance was under
consideration the Supervisors were assured
that it had been carefully examined by sew
eral good lawyers, who had pronounced it
constitutional. The Chief OF Police has
since ordered an arrest for violating the or
dinance and it is supposed sbat test case
will be made When the city enters into a
contest Of this character it is something to
know that it is on the right side of the law.
But it is well 10 bear in mind the fact that
law is what the courts declare 1t to be.
Eminent practicing lawyers have often eX-
perenced the modification of seeing their
opinions set aside by a court that was not
eminent An example is found in the city
printing contract case. There was gem
eral agreement among lawyers that the ac-
ton If the Board of Supervisors in award
ing the contract for the two years Of the In
coming Board to the Stock Report would not
stand judicial investigation. a case was
made up and sent before Superior Judge
Hunt, who declared that the proposed contract
was Illegal, but declared that the court had no
power TO step between the Supervisors and
the performance of an act OF legislation.
There may have been no law for this decl-
Sion but it was the dictum OF court and
had the force of law. But the rule laid
down does not seem Of the character OF
rules that work both ways. When the case
came before Superior Judge Hoge on petit
ton from The Stock Report for an injunction
to prevent the new Board from setting aside
an Illegal contract Judge HOge ruled that
his branch of the court had power to come
between the Supervisors and the perform
ance Of an act of legislation. The result of
these conflicting decisions is that the Illegal
contract is in force. Ii is now said on high
legal authority that the pool-room OF
dinance is constitutional. We trust that for
once the court it may come before will
agree with high legal authority. 1t is very
serious matter for a community to distrust
either the capacity or the Integrity of its
courts. The indictment which told most
effectively against the reign of Christopher
A. Buckley was that he corrupted the
courts. People might stand bad laws and
lax police administration, but when it was
found that the arm of a political boss had
power to reach and paralyZe the courts the
people rose in their might and overthrow the
boss.

FRANCE AND RUSSIA.

The journal des Dc5ats announces
that the Russian Minister will formally pre-
sent President Cannot with the Grand
Gordon of St. Andrew, and German papers
think the presentation Of this decoration
marks an important epoch in the history of
the two countries. 1t is not surprising that
German papers should come to this con-
clusion. The most despotc nation in
Europe would not make this advance to a
republican nation if there were not a
strong interest in so doing. Whether or not
treaty of alliance for offensive and de-
fensive purposes has been signed, the deco
ration of the French President with the
most exclusive order in Russia implies an
understanding that will be likely to result
in such treaty.

GREAT BRITAIN ACCEPTS.

The British Government has formally
notified Mr.. Blaine that Great Britain
accepts the invitation of President Harrison
to take part in the Worlds Fair in 1898.
German merchants and manufacturers are
consulting with a view to arranging for a
grand display of German products. 1t does
not appear that either the new tariff or the
fact that the fair is to be held in an inland
city will prevent Europeans from making a
show of products in the largest market in
the world. Even if the American market is
restricted by the operations Of the tariff, it
is still of great importance to the manu-
featuring countries OF the Old World.

DANA ON THE FARMERS ALLIANCE.

Charles A. Dana of the New York Sun
is reported to have said: at (the Farmers
Alliance is a socialistic organization seek
ing to establish an aristOcracy of farmers
and endowed with principles no one else
will have. 1t seeks special privileges for
class. and the modes by which it proposes to
attain these ends are as socialistic as the
ends themselves" Another view may be
taken of the Farmers Alliance. 1t is a pro-
test against legislation for the benefit of
privileged classes. Within forty years
farmers have seen corporations prospecting
beyond comparison with ordinary indus
tries by means Of legislation procured by
their own paid servants. Sometimes these
paid servants were called Senators, Repre-
sentatives and judges and sometimes they
were called lobbyists. Their brightest and
best paid servants were of the latter class
These corporations belonged TO neither
party, but worked through both. They
were ike Edward Everett Hale's "Man
Without Country" The industrial classes
saw that without organization they could
offer no effective opposition to the schemes
Of the corporations. They saw railroad
owners accumulating fortunes estimated
from 100000 to 500, 600, 900 in less than
a business lifetime, and all in accord with
law their paid servants had enacted under
pretense Of working for the public good.
They saw railroad rates adjusted on the
principle of charging all the traffic would
bear. The farmer was not exactly starved
out, but he had hard work to make the two
ends meet
The farmers wisely concluded that there
was little hope of forming national party
on negative principles. Opposition to cor
pnrations would not have held men to-
gether. Corporations are not necessarily
harmful and not always grasping. Corp0r-
ations are in fact capable of so much good
that opposition to them would be at once
unjust and Intellectual. As result the in
dustrial classes formed an organization
which they called the Farmers Alliance.
Its title does not make it an association Of
farmers. lis purposes are to repeal class
legislation, and to keep men in Congress
and in State Legislatures who viii serve the
