IN my opinion, the first step IS TO organize

THE FINANCIAL STATUS.
Developments in Washington and
New York.

washington, Aug 10.-secretaFN
Gresham, OF the state department, needs
500, 900 to pay the expenses OF his
office. A good part Of this deficit is due
to the expense incurred in the enter
tsinment of foreign visitors, notably
the Duke Of Veragua. While the duke
was in Chicago being luxuriantly pro-
vided for, he wrote to the president
expressing his regret that he would be
delayed in reaching Washington to pay
his respects to the chief executive. He
was informed in reply that the presi-
dent would release him from any obli-
cation he might feel in that direction.
He was further advised that arrange
ments had been made for his return
to Spain. OF course the duke was left
to fix the date himself, but there was
no mistaking the anxiety Of the de-
partment to have his visit come to an
early end. The expense Of the enter
tainment of the duke will not fall short
of $40, 200, not to mention the entertain
ment by private persons.

FATALITIES.

New York. Aug. 10.-Mrs Edward
German was burned to death last night
in a peculiar manner. Mrs. CORNER
was cleaning folding bed with a mix
ture OF kerosene and carbolic acid. In
her hand she carried a lighted lamp.
Suddenly the bed closed, breaking the
lamp and scattering the burning oil
all over Mrs. German and pinning her
inside the bed. which held her with a
vice-like grip. The neighbors heard
her screams but were unable to render
any assistance on account of the dense
smoke. An alarm was turned in, but
when the f1remen arrived the first
thing that met their gaze was the
blackened and charred body of Mrs.
German still partially enclosed in the
fatal bed. Only the skeleton of the
bed was left, and few blows with an
ak released the body, which was car
ried into a back room and laid out.
The woman leaves a husband end five
children.

HAS CAD A GOOD EFFECT.

Cleyeland's clear statement from his
standpoint In bis message TO congress
has brouebt order into bis party and
done much 10 restore public confidence.
Less banks are falling, gold continues
TO come from Europe, loans are getting
easier and ~ congress does not spoil II
all. confidence will be fully restored in
q few weeks.
OF course, his message, or this con-
gress, may not solve the hDance ques-
ton. But they virtually admit that
the Mckinley bill is not the cause OF
the eountry's distress Taking that
position now. and virtually agreeing to
let the tariff alone for three months,
factories will go to work, labor will b+
employed, and the congress that meets
in regular session December first, can
not very well reverse itself and attack
the tariff which 1t now holds Is mat
ter of secondary importance.
There Is some assurance in this that
there will be no tariff Iinkering or dis-
turbanee of the ayowed policy Of our
country In maintaining a protective
tariff system. A country to prosper
must have people, The people must
be employed. They cannot be en-
pIoyed and open their ports to all the
raw material and manufactured goods
other countries may find it profitable
to Rend them.

THE FIGHT On PENNOYER.

The bitter fight on Governor Penney
or over his administration of the peni-
tentiary is renewed by the-l letter that
gentleman published exonerating Sup
erintendent Owning. 1t is confined
to Democrats and would-be Populists.
Republicans are taking no hand. or
course, there is method in 1t, and 1t is
quite likely Republicans as we'll rs
those conducting it will profit thereby.
1t should be understood, however, that
It Is a political fight, for power
and profit, not for reform. Indeed,
IL II has any effect 1t is to make re-
forms in prison management impos-
sible. The strife Of individuals for
spoils always beclouds the real issue.
There is not . single person named In
the attack on the governor or Downing
who would do any better, or steal any
less than is alleged TO have been stolen,
II they had the chance. Many Of them
would have filled the service as full of
their own connections as possible,
which Downing has not done, aud
would have made all possible out Of it.
1t lie question If Governor Pennoyer
has not made mistake In going into
print In defense Of Mr.. Downing. They
will be forced to greater and fuller
defence. The element who want q
change In the management of the prison
have all 10 gain and little TO lose by the
agitation. The public have nothing TO
gain, because there Is no evidence that
anything but plunder Is the object.
Certainly there is no serious proposal
to give the public better administra-
tion Of affairs at the prison. The fight
is full OF the elements Of personal re-
venges and grievances. Discharged
employees, disappointed place seekers
and unsuccessful competitors for fur
nishing supplies cut quite too big fig-
ure TO give the crusade any appearance
OF sincerity or earnest purpose OF re-
form. The Salem politician OF all par
ties has first Of ali an organized appetite
for public pap and woe to any man
who aspires to ignore his clamor by fair
business methods that consult public
interest above his private veal. Down
ing's management Of the pen has not
been perfect by any means. But II has
borne fair semblance OF economy aud
honesty that has not been successfully
assailed 80 far. Whether 1t can be re-
mains 10 be seen.

He said:
'The administration has ample power
to relieve the currency famine In forty
eight hours by exercising the author
ity with which it is clothed by statute.
It may be done in either one Of two
ways.
There are more than 100000 900

retary has power to deposit such por-
ton of these SOC. .0OO. 900 dollars as he
may choose in national banks desig-
mated as national repositories. and.
being there deposited they would at
once enter into circulation.
There is in the treasury about 14O,-
O0O, 900 ounces of silver bullion, for
which treasury notes have been issued
and no standard silver dollars have
been coined with which to redeem them.
The secretary Of the treasury is, there
fore, at liberty to declare that this 140.-
OOO, 900 ounces of silver be coined into
standard silver dollars. The profits or
seigniorage which would accrue to the
United States would at once be avail
able for use by the treasury. That
would give the treasury a profit up

Washington, Aug. 1O.-The August
report Of the statistican Of the DEPART
ment of agriculture shows that there
has been q considerable falling off in
the condition of the spring wheat since
last month, amounting to something
over ten points. the average condition
Of the present month being 81, as
against TIA for the month of July.
This decline of ten points is the result
of too high temperature and deficient
rainfall. In the spring wheat states
drought is prevalent over an extensive
al ca and has done much damage. Much
injury has also been done this crop
by chinch bugs and rust in several
states.
