Some Startling Happenings That the
People Are Not Likely to Forget yery-l

Some Startling Happenings That the
People Are Not Likely to Forget Very
soon.
New York World, July Goth.
In order to apply the right remedy for
the existing financial trouble it is impor-
taat that the public shall not be misled as
to the cause of the disturbance.
When political clubs or newspapers as
sert, for partisan purposes, that the trouble
is Of recent origin and is largely due to the
success of the Democratic party and the
prospect of tariff reduction, they do their
| utmost to befog the issue and to prevent
| the adoption of measures necessary to re-
| lief.
A year ago, these partisans assert, every
| thing was prosperous and serene.
What Justification of history!
| A year ago the militia was in arms in
three States to put down the revolt Of labor
against reductions in wages.
A year ago, in July. 1892, the exports of
gold were over $4,000, 900. This year the
tide has turned slightly in this direction.
The loss of gold is accepted as Il sign of a
lack of confidence and u symptom of un-
favorable commercial or monetary condi
tions During President Harrison's admin
istration our net loss of gold by export was
$l22, 624000. The loss in 1891 alone wa,
sos 130,087.
The collapse of various swindling trust:
and gigantic conspiracies for robbery, be
ginning with Reading and ending with
Cordage, involved loss of hundreds o.
millions TO investors and spectators. /
contributed not little to the financial dis
tress. But to attribute 1t to any politica
event is to give a credit to the new head o
the Department of Justice which he ha
not yet earned.
The Sherman act, the most active caus
Of all in producing the monetary disturb
ance, was passed in 1890. Its evil effect
have simply eliminated now.
As Tor the tariff, it is perfectly well
known that no changes that will be mad
,; can 60 into effect under year. 1t
absurd to attribute troubles which bega
two years ago, and continued with increa'
I ing intensity last year, to possible reduC
ton Of taxes next spring.
II will be the duty OF Congress to des
with business facts rather than partisa
theories

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, July 2l.-A special
from Topeka, Kan, says that the santa
Fe management have just unearthed eI.
tensive frauds on that division of the road
included between Topeka and Chicago.
The frauds, it is said, have resulted in a
loss to the road of $1,000 a month. The
conspiracy is far-reaching in its ramitca-
tions and included, it is said various Off
cials from assistants to the division super
intendent down to the section bosses.
The scheme was to pad the pay-rolls
with the names of fictitious men and TO
divide the amount thus secured among the
various conspirators. When the last pay
car went out notice was sent ahead that
each man must apply in person for his
money. 1t is said that the number OF per.
sons who sent word that they were too III
