REPORTS from Wall street show a
gloomy condition of affairs, with
financial panic threatened at any mo-
ment. Possibly this will lead Secretary
Carlisle to rise once more to invoke the
patriotism of the people to ward off the
danger but what the people desire to
know is what Mr.. Carlisle proposes to
do. If he intends to sit supinely at his
desk and let matters drift as they will
the sooner he sees the wisdom of re.
signing the better.

The governor Of Oregon assures the
secretary of state that he will attend to
his own business, and suggests that the
president attend to his. The dispatch
is in the poorest possible taste, and the
brash governor ought to be sharply
"called down." 1t is no crime for the
president to suggest that the enforce
ment of the Geary law may create
trouble. The governor had no sufficient
provocation for the dispatch, and it
may fairly enough be said also that the
president was not fully justified in as
suming that the governor needed a
hint from Washington to compel the
discharge of his duty.
