Plenty of Cold to be Had.

A consideration which should
steady the nerves of people who are
inclined to be unreasonably disturb
ed by the present financial situation
is the fact that when the govern
ment wants more gold it can get it.
There is no nation whose bonds
would be more eagerly sought than
those OF the United States in the
markets of the world, and if we
chose to go abroad for gold we
could turn the golden stream in this
direction at a rate which would
make European bankers dizzy

tbs not a rash prediction that
within a few weeks foreign capital
will again seek American securities
instead of converting them as has
been the practice for some time past.

that tourists annually carry abroad,
and Europeans visiting the EXPOSE

Ten weeks hence the winter wheat of
the Southwest will begin moving
and few months from now the
spring wheat of the Northwest.

days have been as reassuring as they

have carefully studied the situation
that the furry is practically at an

REQUISITES FOR CANDIDATES

A fair sample Of that which is useless
and even ridiculous in the discussion Of
municipal and political reform may be
found in the March number of the
Forum. This writer remarks:
"Ihe only remedy for municipal cor
ruption is to elect no mar to office who
is not free from dobt. Moral reputa-
ton is a ilimsy security for conduct;
financial competence is a good security
indeed. \ man out Of debt and with q
bank account, even a small one, is not
likely to be corrupted. Corruption in
wolves slavery to the corfnptor, and all
men love freedom. The most venal
man living prefers at the last moment
to be able 10 vote as he ploases. The
private circumstances Of nominees
should therefore be q matter Of public
discussion. When state and municipal
legislatures are composed of men whose
incomes habitually exceed their ex.
penses the problem of corruption vii
be nearly solved"
1t would be Just as reasonable to sng
gest that no MAJ cAould be elected

that he Is out OF debt. If this polio,

The Panama canal tiasco has renewed
attention to the Nicaragua canal, and the
movement for it's construction has taken
on new energy. The promoters now
propose to ask the government to make
a guarantee of Slo0,O0o,O00 to assure
the completion of the work, and in dis
cussing this the Scientific American
very sonsibly observes:
However much the Nicaragua canal may
be needed by commerce.. it 10 only ordinary
business requirement that such a euaran-
tee rs that of 500, coo. 600 in securities
should not be made until there ia absolute
surety of the successful contamination of
the project. Now York aud San Francisco are
49, 600 miles apart by the water route around
Cage Horn. By the Nicaragua route this
m!leage is reduced about 10000 miles.
From an economic standpoint the construc-
ton of the canal would be beneficial as it
would more nearly equa!ize prices OF COM
modities. The Pacific coast needs the
cheap coal of the south and the cheap man
utactured products of the north, while the
south and the north can take in exchange
wheat. fruit, lumber and other products.
But rather than mako a hasty effort to Sc
cure these benefits, the government can
afford to wnit a year or or two if necessary
until a competent commission has looked
thoroughly into the weak SPOTS OF the canal
scheme. II is safe to be thorough in all
prelilminaries, go that when the work is un-
and completed it shall be an en-
cheering, a commercial. aud n financial
success.
1t is SAID that the real difficulty will
be found, not in tho construction OF the
canal, but in maintaining it when finished.
This will require the finest engineering
science, but before u government gives
official encouragement to this scheme,
the road to complete success should be
made very clear.

AN interesting use is made of the tel.
ephone in the city Of Pesth. 1t is q
news service, or what might be called
an 'oral newspaper" Subscribers are
called up whenever any news of i'm
portance occurs to receive the lnforma-
ton from q general exchange. They, in
turn, cooperate with each other in OK
changing news. For this privilege each
subscriber pays rs cents per month.
The advantages Of this system are ev,-
dent for the man who has nothing to do
but listen at a telephone, but we doubt
very much if it prove anything moro
than a nuisance to be called away from
your desk and told there was q new
baby in the Smith family, or that Jones
had gone over to Rimini for a couple of
days. 1t will be q long while before
this system s~upplants the newspapers
in communities where people work for
a living.

Our Debt to Science.

In a recent work on criminolopy the
learned investigator says that out of ninety
eight young men criminals A per cent did
not blush when examined. Or 122 female
criminals 81 per cont did not blush. If our
novels are to keep up with acience they
must change their indicia Of emotion. 1t
must be the men who blush Inc the other
sex whose sensitiveness must not be a reg
ular feature. Leander bushes rs he de-
clares himself or is suddenly brought up
against a sentimental outcIop, Bot Hero
takes it calmly. The scientist also notices
that women blush about the ears rather
than on the check. This also requires a
change in the novels. 1t is a pointer, too.
for the ladies' man who is watching for
signs that he is making an impression. II

may SOC something that will tell him he
may consider himself happy. Science is
gradually getting there and we sh all soon

A New Era Mt Hand.

Circumstances that led to the election of
President Cleveland and the spirit OF good
fellowship that has prevailed during tho
events and ceremonies attending a change
of administration are among the things that
point to the advent of u new epoch in Amor
lean history. The interchange of cour-
tesies has been without precedent since tho
war. The bitterness OF purity feeling has
not manifested itself, and at last 1t looks as
though the questions which grew out of the
fratricidal struggle had been finally settled.
A failure to recognize this fact was by no
means the smallest factor in bringing the
recent overwhelming disaster upon the re-
publican party. 1t did not keep step with
the march of modern progress. 1t sought
to maintain its vitality in the warmth of
fires that should long since hive been
q%uenched, while the democratic party moved
steadily along the lines of political ad-
vancsment.-Detroit Free Press.
