Gold exports mean a reduction OF the
government gold reserve, and a pros
pect of continued drain should lead
congress to make the necessary changes
i'll the silver bullion purchase law
Kansas City Times.
The only need for gold is to meet the
demands of foreign creditors. They
must be provided for. The United
States is still, perhaps. the largest pro-
Queer of gold. Let it acquire enough of
this gold to meet all reasonable de-
mandS by foreign creditors and hold CD
to it.-New Orleans Flcayune.
The continued buying of the white
bullion and the ceaSeleSS issue of paper
money against it, while the gold, which
is the life hood of our commerce, is
flowing out, are creating universal dis
trust, and men hesitate to enter into
new enterprises while this danger to
the stability OF our currency is impend-
ing.-NeW YORK Herald.
The real trouble, as we have pointer
out, in common with many conservative
journals in all parts of the country, is
that last weeks exports of gold, like
those that have gone before, are not due
to the regular and legitimate forces of
business, but to meddling, arbitrary,
factitiOus and wholly unsound legisla-
ton by the government of the United
States.-New York Times.
For every dollar of gold that goes
abroad, while the exports of merchan-
disc continue so liberal, this country IS
that much weather., and there should
be no apprehension, even should the
amount exported this month aggregate
nearly $4,000. 900, which in ali probable
ity it will. There may be a temporary
stringency in money. but it will precip-
itate no panic. and will last but a few
days in but one city-New Y ork.-Cin-

IMMIGRATION.

Opinion is becoming general that we
must look hencefortn to the quality
rather than the quantity of immigra-
tion.-San Antonio Express.
The proposition to suspend immigra-
ton for one year is Endorsed by the Deo-
pie of all parties, and congress ought TO
adopt it without reference to political
considerations Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.
Stop immigration altogether for a
year. This may save us for twelve
month from cholera, pauperS and $40
immigrants. So let congress go ahead
and relieve the country. England may
not like it,and the steamship companies
may not like it, but we can't help that.
New York Herald.
Senator Chandler believes that the
people are prepared to indorse radical
legislation in regulation of immigration.
and that congress ought to meet popu-
lar views on this subject. Senator
Chandler is right. There is very wide
spread belief that unrestricted immigra-
ton is too liberal policy for the pres
emit day, and that changed conditions
demand regulation and restriction

ST. PAUL's PARKS.

st. Paul has one extremely handsome
park. Nature was lavish in her gifts
at Como. Hill and valley, wood and
water, all of the elements of beauty are
present. But how many of our own
citizens visit this park for pleasure?
How few of st, Pau's visitors ever see,
or even hear of its beauties.
We constantly hear words in praise
of the parks Of Minneapolis, but Mime
apOlis has 10 park that will compare
with Como in natural beauty.
Minneapolis has excellent street rail-
way facilities for reaching her parks, as
we'll as boating on the lakes and other
arrangements for the enjoyment of the
people. These are the advantages pos
sessed by our sister city. In these re-
CARDS she is far ahead of st. Paul. This
need not be the case. 1t should not be
the case. We are ourselves to blame
that it is the case. If taken hold of now
and in the right spirit, double line Of
electric cars can be in operation to Como
by the first Of next June; and boats and
music in abundance can be provided
without cost to the city for the enjoy
ment Of the people.
Who will take hold and assist in bring
ing about this desirable result? This IS
the time of year to perfect all plans and
have all things in readiness for active
work in early spring.

of Justice and defense of the majesty of
the law our police force deserves all the
credit it can get.
In Chicago the other day a ragged
urchin was arrested and safely lodged
behind the bars for the unspeakable
crime of stealing toy tin soldier of the
value of one cent. Forts bravery and
sagacty in this affair the Chicago police
force merits all the credit which an en-
lightensd public sentiment, backed by
old SANTA CLAUS, will accord it.
A reformed" police force may have
its faults and failinge like ordl-
nary mortals; and in the cases OF st.
Paul and Chicago these little remiss-
nesses may cause much violent physical
discomfort and pecuniary loss to honest
citizens. But when reformed" po-
lice force does prove equal to a vital
emergency-when it does wake up and
proceed to glOriouSly avenge the pilfer OF

only a narrow vindictiveneSS could re-
fuse to accord it a rich and full APP
