THE IMPoTENr CONFERENCES

The hope that the International Mon
etary Conference, now sitting mt Brus.
sells, would accomplish something OF
value, which was inspired by the propo-
sition of Mr.. Rothschild, seems to have
been based upon frail foundation.
The rejection of this scheme DESTROYS
almost all that could be construed as
favorable signs that anything whatever
would be done, and entirely justifies the
position of the News.
The American delegates hoped much
of the Rothschild plan, before it was
was presented. When it was sub
mitted to the conference it was found
that those hopes had been based upon a
too hopeful view of what it would sug-
gest. The plan was disappointment.
Its rejection was the completion of the
disappointment.
There has been only the smallest
shadow of hope tha5 the conference
would prove of much benefit TO the
fiscal policy of this or any country, and
the prompt rejection of the Rothschild
to have European govern
ments agree to buy certain amount of
silver seems to extinguish what little
hope there ever was justification for.

The death of Jay Gould, which oc-
Cured this forenoon. will chiefly con-
Germ men whose interests are in Wall
street.
Mr.. Gould was a power there. He
was a king there. He was practically
nothing to the world outside of large
railroad and financial schemes.
His influence in those fields of activ-
ity was of doubtful value to the world.
He was always for himself solely, and
1t mattered nothing to him who was
crushed or swept aside. He did not
study the needs or the welfare of the
country. He considered only JAY
Gould.
When such man dies it is folly to
pretend that he is a loss to society or TO
the world. He is not. 1t is probable
that even the great business interests
Mr. Gould was associated with will not
suffer because Of his death. If his money
is not too abruptly drawn out of them
they may be likely to benefit by being
relieved of the unnatural methods often
adopted by Mr.. Gould.
The dead man was not wholly devoid
of good impulses and his life was not
completely barren of good deeds. But
they were rare, far apart and as infre-
quent as angels visits.

NEARLY s131 900, 900 was transmitted

the number of hands by which it is
