MR.. EcKELS ON THE SITUATION.

Mr.. James Fl. Eckels comptroller Of
the currency, has proved surprise
in that position. Knowing nothing
Of financial matters when appointed
to the office, it was feared in many
quarters that he would prove con-
spicuous failure, but he seems to be
turning out as one of the best selec-
tions which President Cleveland has
made. While following conservative
course, he has at all times preserved a
hopeful tone, and the strict attitude
he has maintained has a tendency to
strengthen the confidence of the
people in them. Mr.. Eckels has con-
tributed an article to the current
North american Revieao on 1.-THE Pres
ent Crises" and among other things
says:
The present. financial depression
differs materially from any that has
heretofore occurred in our history. The
strain has been Of unprecedented
length and great severity, but
there has been nothing approach
ing a panic, such as characterized
other years under similar circum-
stancesMore significantis the fact that
throughout it all there has been man
1fest no unusual excitement, despite
the general distruSt in the stability
or our mOneyed institutions eVidenc-
ed in every portion of the country, the
daily failure of banks, national, state
and private. of great commercial en-
terprlSes, trust companies and cor
porations and manufacturing es-
adjustments. No stronger proof
than this could be had of the
vast resources of the coun-
try and the available wealth
the people. 1t demonstrates that no
matter how bad the outlook there
can be no general bankruptcy and dfs-
tress as that of 1887, 1857, 1873. In
all the circumstances surrounding
the present situation 1T is equally at
variance with other periods of liqulda,
tion. 1t has developed at a time
when there is an abundance of agri-
cultural produce and manufactured
produce on every hand Ordinary
business in the mercantile lines is
up to, and in some trades above, the
standard of the same months in
times of marked prosperity, while the
actual amount Of money in circulation
per capita is as great as that of recent
years. Not less worthy of note is it
that, ia a majority of the failures
that Lave occurred in legitimate lines
thus Tar, the assets reported Of the
failed concerns have been largely in
eXceSs&Of their liabilities and of such
a character as to cause comment that
institutions holding them should
have been forced to suspend.

for my certifcation. Your correspon-
dent also says, farther along, that
Mrs. Stebblns went at once to Di-
! rector-General Davis, VINO imme-
| diately had the passes Endorsed Good
after Aug. l. to the ladies of the
| Minnesota Board who had been
omitted. He also apologized to the
ladies, as did the chief of the Bureau
of Admissions, for the trouble caused
them. Both gentlemen say they
will make the matter known to Pres
ident Monfort, with reQust that
Mr. Hunt be disciplined for his action
in this matter" In answer to this,
have only to say that the lady did
not see DirectOr-General Davis,
neither did she see the chief of the
Bureau of Admissions. 1t is equally
true that neither of the gentlemen
apologiZed for the so-called trouble
caused" and as matter of course.
neither of the gentlemen having been
seen, did not presume to that they
would write the president of the Min
nesota Board of Managers asking
that "Mr. Hunt be disciplined.

The petty quibbling and small

rife in the Auxiliary Board have teen
given undue prominence in certain of
the Minneapolis papers, when, if the
truth were known, they are no more
numerous, nor are they more pro-
nOunced, in fact, than in dozens of
other state boards; the only difference
being that on the other hand every

with astounding headlines, and pub
lished with startling detail, while on
the other theyaare simply submerged.

MINNESOTA COMPLIMENTED.

Some time ago local paper stated
in substance that the educational eX-
hibit of Minnesota was thing to
be presumed. 1t seems it was talk
ing of somethinglit knew nothing
about as the following from Friday
nights Minneapolis Journal will show:
The Minnesota educational exhibit
has received many high compliments
recently. Two features of the exhibit
in particular seem to attract unusual
attention from educators. They are
the sewing by children of the fourth,
fifth and sixth grades and the display
Of drawing. The sewing work is pro-
nounced by experts to be among the
the best showing in the building, and,
as for the specimens of drawing by
Prof. Richardson's pupils, there are
none inner. Miss Locke, the super
visor Of drawing in the Chicago public
schools examined this work a few
days ago. Sweeping her hand over
several OF the specimens turned out
under Prof. Richardson's instruction
she said: ''For fine artistic group
ing and general artistic effect there
isn't any finer work in the United
States"
The professor of free-hand drawing
and color in the New York School for
the Training of Teachers, who viewed
the exhibit not long ago, said of the
drawing work that it was the best of
It's kind in the Liberal Arts building.

SOMETHING FOR BAKER.
Let him Read the Following and Di
gest its Contents.
What expert Judges say of minnesota
Agricultural Exhibit.

Agricultural Exhibit.
The following from the Minneapolis
Evening Journal of Saturday, while in
line with what was expected by those
in charge of Minnesota's interests at
the Worlds Fair, will be of especial
interest TO those of our people who
have been misled by Gen. Bakers IN
called for and unjust criticisms. The
Journal says:
Minnesota wheat is sure of receiv-
ing first class awards from the judges
of the agricultural exhibits. After
two days of inspection the judge to
whom the wheat of the North Star
state was assigned finished his work
today and in ending paid Minnesota a
very great compliment.
Minnesota will be strictly in it
when the awards are made" said he,
"for her wheat grades several points
ahead of most Of the other states.
Some of the samples have examined
are extraordinary"
OThis tribute is the more compliment
tary because it comes from Nebras-
kan. He has examined over 200 SAM
plies in grain in the Minnesota exhibit
nd found every one of them satisfac-
tory. The barley, corn and oats he
also spoke as favorably of as the
wheat.
Col. Cutting definitely stated that
all the samples he had examined would
be recommended for first class awards.
Other judges in the agricultural eX-
hibit have been equally compliment
airy Of Minnesota cereals, Judges Nc
Intyre, of South Dakota, and Fox, of
Oklahoma, having praised the display
The two Minnesota judges in this
department are OF course very proud
OF their own state, but it remained
for outsiders to show even greater ap-
probation of it's agricultural products.
Judge Cutting said that not only was
the Minnesota the best seen in the
building, and would come out ahead
in the chemical examination, but that
the exhibit was the most systematic
ally arranged one in the Agricultural
building.

A NEW element of relief has been
injected into the financial situation
atgNew York. United States bonds
have fallen so low that bankers there
can see their way clear to buy them,
and arrangements are being made by
some of the bankers to buy them and
increase their circulation. 1t is esti-
mated that through this movement
from $4,000, 900 to $40, 900, 900 of nation
al bank notes will be added to our
currency system, which will do much
toward relieving the situation.

TALKING about the house commit
tees day or two ago Speaker Crisp
was asked if it was his intention to
announce the coinage committee in
advance of the other committees. He
said he had not SO intended but would
if there was a general sentiment n
favor Of it. That sentiment ought to
exert itself at once. Mr., Crisp ought
to be made to understand that the
special session of congress is for the
purpose of taking some action regard
ing the silver purchase clause in the
so-called Sherman law and the more
quickly committee is appointed that
will help the house in the work on
this line the better. The other COM
mittees can be made up as usual as
there is no special pressure for them.

AS A result of the financial depres-
sion the country has experienced dur
ing the past few months, immigra.

is said that late last winter and in
the early spring immigration agents
deluged various portions of England
with pamphlets and leaflets, setting
setting forth the chances which ex-
listed in this country for lettering
their condition, and as result large
number Of the working classes, many
Of whom were Skilled laborers, made
arrangements to 1mmigrate to this
country, but upon learning of the
financial stringency here, concluded
to remain where they are for the pres
emit.

THE sincerity Of the silverites for
honest money is well tested when they
insist upon the free coinage of the
white metal at ratio of 16 to 1,while
the real ratio stands somewhere in
the neighborhood of % or % to 1. The
facination for free silver would disap-
pear from many an advocate if the
chance of profit of 80 to 40 cents on
the dollar should be eliminated.
