repeal before his Inauguration, but we
have heard little from him in that direc-
tion since. With the congress demo
cratic in both branches, elected by the
same constituency which elected Mr..
Cleveland, with undisputed authority
given him to convene congress, he issues
no call, and takes no steps TO repeal the
law which he believes is the cause of the
disturbed business condition. Believing
he knows the cause for the trouble, he
make no effort to remove it; this is his
responsibility, ard from it he cannot es-
cape. Three months have gone by, the
country waiting and suffering, and con-
gress is unCOnvened.
"What he is doing we do not know; he
has not time for Office seekers-that is
certain. He has closed the doors Of his
official household in their faces, that is
susceptible of proof. He will not see
them. In giving attention to the busl-
ness condition Of the country - which
we sincerely hope he is-heis to be COM
mendsd. But he should not lose sight
Of the fact that he cannot unaided supply
the remedy for our Vsxed condition.
Whether he wants to or not, congress
must be taken into his confidence.
Inconvenient as that may seem to the
president, congress must be consulted.

an extra session of congress, in the belief
that still greater financial distress and
still added bankruptcies are necessary to
bring his party associated to the adop-

people and an expensive experiment to
the country.
"But since the administration has
done nothing and has given no indioa-

further reflection and after viewing the

nomination, and reviewing the situation
in that state, he concluded by paying his
respects to the new regime ss follows:
"The national administration has done
nothing thus far, except to create in the
minds of business men a deep distrust.
The financial situation, for the most part,
which has prevailed since the 4th of
March, has not been improved, nor has
the financial stringenCY been relieved by
anything the national administration has
said or done. 1t has announced no pol
ICY, suggested no relief, and given no
sign OF it's disposition of ability to restore
confidence, stop the outflow of gold to
foreign countries, and the contraction
which has taken place at home.
"The gold reserve which Mr.. Cleve-
land, in his first administration, set apart
as q sacred fund to. redeem the green
backs, and which sum he dedicated to
that purpose, and no other, he has been
the first, singulsrly enough, to enoroach
upon himself. That to the sum below
which the government said it should not
go, and could not 60 in honor and good
faith, thus creating in the minds of the
people feeling that this was the danger
line, and that to cross it meant dishonor
and violation Of plighted faith. So, whom
he was compelled to crJss it, as he has
several times since the 4th Of March, is
it to be wondered that serious spprehen-
zion and insecurity everywhere preVsilP
"The democratic victory Of '92 has not
been able to bring the better times
promised. 1t has not been able to main
tain the good times which were enjoyed
everywhere in this country before it's
victory. Business failures have in
creased, banks have suspended, money
is harder to borrow, and borrowers are
compelled to pay higher interest for their
loans than for many, many years. Fever
ish uncertainty prevails in every flnan-
cisl and business circle. Labor and
capital are in doubt about the future.
This has been our condition for two
months, and no change for the better is
at this moment apparent.
1t may be that the new Rdministra-
tion is not responsible for the condition
that is upon US. 1t is so asserted, and
will be again, that this condition ought
not to be ohargeable to it, because the
administration has done nothing to pro-
duoe it, and can do nothing to prevent
it. / Conoede you that If nothing can be
done by this administration or congress
to relieve the situation, then this admin
istration should not be held accountable.
II to-day the president should officially
and RuthoritiVely announce that there
would be no change in the industrial leg

proceedings
resident Spengel presided while
Secretary Marion took down the min
utes.
The Board Immediately got down to
business, the museum matter being
the supreme topic. Secretary Marion
read letter which had just been re-
ceived by Governor Renfrow from
John NJ. Reynolds, acting secretary of
the interior department, in which the
department at Washington gave the
people of Guthrie permission to erect
"A museum building on the government
acre. Following the reading Of the
letter, President Spengel arose and
made stirring address IN which he
recommended the bringing of all the
exhibits which were at Chicago to
Guthrie. He closed by saying that
the citizens had the matter in their
own hands, and the leading question
now was the raising of funds for erect
ing the museum building. Architect
j. {. Foueart presented plans of the
proposed building which can be erect
ed at cost of 81, 900.
The measurements of the structure
are 4sx60 feet, "a feet high in front
and 20 feet in the clear. Mr. Foucart
donated his services to the board.

noticed in the DTsP.rcH few days ago
@ short editorial regarding the present
high rates Gas the people generally are
pleased to call them9 70 the Worlds FAIR
charged by various railroads. | agree with
you most emphatically that the rates are
not 80 low, but they could be made lower.
/ am sure the public in general would APP
preciate il were the railroads to make re-
ducticn even for a limited season. Rich
mond is sS4 miles from Chicago. The
present fare Is $25.45 for the round trip,
which amounts TO one fare.
This is nearly double the rate charged
from Washington (Which is only few
miles nearer Chicago than Richmond)
Chicago last year. The fare then was AT
one time S13 for round trip OF course a
great many people vept; probably three
times as many as Houii have gone bad the
rates remained higher.
| would suggest that tho railroads re-
duce the fare to 9l2 or SIS for the trip,
and | think they would get more than
double the patronge, besides afording
the pleasure and instruction to class of
people who would appreciate the greatest
fair. | hope our champion, the DISPATCH,
will do Its best for US.
A SUBscmBEG AND ONE WHO WANTS To Go.
The railroads entering Chicago control
the situation. Their demands are by no
means moderate. But we doubt not that
excursion tickets will be sold at q less
price that S2j.45 before the summer is
over.
So far asour information extends no city
IS offered lower rates to Chicago than
Richmond. distance considered. And what
Is of great advantage TO us, we can get
"stop.ovor tickets, allowing US TO break
the tedium and fatigue of the journey by
stops in the Virginia mountains.
All the same. we should delight to be
able to announce lower rates, and If tho
Chicago roads will "let up" in their de-
mands somewhat they can and will be
made.
