THE MONEY QUESTION.

financial Matters at Warrington Daily
Improving.
Every effort ought to be made that is
consistent with the safety of the BUSH
ness interests of the country to post
pone the consideration of the currency
question until after the revision of the
tariff. Secretary Carlisle is convinced
that the monetary conditions are daily
becoming more satisfactory. Gold is
coming in in adequate amounts, and al
though there have been occasional re-
newals of the foreign demand for it
there seems to have come an end to any
thing approaching lack of confidence in
the treasury.
The financial authorities at Washing
ton, agreeing with Mr.. Carlisle, are
hopeful that the problem can be solved
without drawing the question into the
arena of immediate political debate.
The main issue on which Mr.. Cleveland
was elected was that Of the tariff. That
is the issue upon which there is most
harmony among democratic congress
men, and that is the one also in which
the people of the country are most deep
ly concerned.
The money question is no longer con-
fined to silver coinage. It now en-
braces the whole subject of our incon-
gruous paper currency and involves the
entire system of banking. Moreover, it
cannot be determined without solu-
ton of the difficulties of those commune
ties that have not proper banking facili-
ties; in other words, that are not pos
sessed of proper credit tokens for the
transaction of their business.
The settlement of such problems will
require very many months of deep
study and thorough discussion. And in
the meantime it would not be fair to
the people who have demanded by an
enormous majority that they shall be
relieved from the burdens of tariff taxa
ton imposed upon them by the McKin-
ley act that the reform of that act
should be postponed.
It is probable that the administration
will be able to take such steps as will
convince the country and the financial
world that proper solution of the
monetary question will be eventually
reached, and that in the meantime
American securities will remain safe
investments. This being done, the at
tention of those who will be intrusted
with the task of reforming the tariff
will not be distracted, and the promises
made by the democracy can be fulfilled.

REVISION OF THE TARIFF.

Industrial Interests Improving Under
Democratic Rule.
Reports from various manufacturing
centers of the country show how hypo-
critical was the cry raised during the
campaign of last fall, that an adoption
of the democratic tariff idea meant a
virtual humiliation of our great indus
trial interests. The Carnegies are ex-
pending some two million dollars in the
enlargement and improvement of their
great plant at Homestead, and sig
nifcant feature in the case is the fact
that largely increased producing ca
pacity in several departments is among
the contemplated changes. All the
vast sum to be expended is with a view
to meeting greatly increased demand.
Like faith in the business future is
manifest from other important locali-
ties, and all this despite the terrible
disasters that the people were told
would follow, upon retirement of the
republican party from power. It is well
understood that in the coming revision
the iron and steel schedule of the tariff
will be changed throughout. It is the
expectation among the producers them
selves that iron ore will be placed upon
Une Tree llSt anu CllSbG Tic eb1Cy upon pig
iron will be greatly reduced. It is also
anticipated that from the duty on the
finished products there will be taken a
considerable portion in addition to that
corresponding to the reduction upon
the raw material.
The manufacturers understand, as
they have understood all along, that
such revision of the tariff will not
render it impossible for them to do
business on a profitable basis. On the
other hand, many of them are satisfied
that their business will be improved by
the increased demand for their products.
They are convinced that all existing
difficulties will receive due considera-
ton, and that the revision will be SO
made by congress that they may adjust
themselves to tine changing situation.
They as well as the consumers will be
benefited by the proposed changes, and
the engagements are being made only
in anticipation Of the increased trade
which will result from the practical APP
plication of democratic principles as
affecting the tariff question.

LOOPING OFF THE DEAD MOOD.
Measures of Economy Adopted by the
New Administration.

Measures of EconomJ Adopted by the
New Administration.
Both in the treasury department and
in the department of agriculture the
democratic administration has begun
reforms that have been long needed BY
discharging the objectionable stahas4i-
clan and with him 8 great many others
who have been earnestly and seriously
drawing their salaries while merely
playing at work, Secretary Morton is
doing much to redeem his department
from the odium to which it has been so
long subject that the people very gem
orally believe it has been justly called
the department of humbug.
He has made an excellent beginning,
and if he continues his researches he
will find that there are republicans in
the department doing little or nothing,
who have held over from Arthurs time
who rewarded democratic mag
nanimity in keeping them IN by
doing all they could 10 get
democrats out as soon as Harri-
SON succeeded Cleveland Il will be a
genuine reform to get rid of such
barnacles, especially If they pretend
that they have been retained as indis-
pensable, when the real reason of their
retention is that they have pulled wires
and licked boots and betrayed every
party in turn. helping the democrats to
turn out republicans and the repub-
licans to turn out democrats, in hopes
that they would thus retain their own
places.
The more of these people Mr.. Morton
rotates out to support themselves by
honest work the more efficient he will
make his department and the more
popular he will become with all who
believe that genuine reform means
something more than keeping repuh
licans in ofice.-St Louis Republic.

PRESENCE OF MIND At SEA.
An Old Sailorman Recalls Enscanccs In
Which It Was AM-ImportaMt.

An Old Sailorman Recalls Tnseances In
Which 1t Was Au-Importamt.
Speaking of presence of mind at sea, !"
reflected the old Boston marines, 81 re-
member that many years ago. when
Capt William T. Glidden, formerly of
the firm of Glidden & Williams, was in
command of a ship bound to New Or
leans she was struck by squaH off
the south side of Cuba, and the head of
the foremost, close to the eyes Of the
rigging, splintered and broke, but held
together. The topmast eanted to lee
ward, and it would have gone over the
side if the broken part had separated.
Capt. Glidden kept the ship off, Brought
the tepmast upright by the baekstays,
and then took a spare spar, rove it up
through the catharpins, dashed iii around
the broken head of the foremost and
the heel, or doublings, of the topmast,
and around the forenmst below the top,
and thus secured the lower mast, the
topmast and all above them
ITO think this out was the work of a
second, but hours were required to
make it complete. by presence of mind
Glidden saved the expense and delay of
putting into port. Seamen, as gener-
al rule, are ready reasoners There are
no given rules by which a disaster can
be repaired att sea; all depends upon
the experience and skill of the captain
or the officers. A captain who is not
an unmitigated egotist will act upon a
hint suggested by a common seaman
IAN 1lustratiomof this kind occurred
lin which J. link of the. sings of the
main yard was broken. While sccur-
ing the yard with a tackle, a sailor sug-
gested that shaolsae. wdaald supply the
place of the broken, Link. There. were
several shaclEes On board, evidently
designed for that purpose, which had
attracted the sailaE's notice in clearing
out Locker, but which was nnlsnasxn
to her. captain, and mates. In aGtai-
ton to these there were shacR1es
for every piece of chain rigging IN
the ship, and for the cables, too. The
sailor, in turning them oyer, davfred
thefr use. On that same voyage. while
bringing the ship mp in the River Mer-
sey during . gale, at Liverpool, the
cable parted, but another anchor and
chain saved her from drifting ashore.
At low water the parted chain and an
chor were recovered, and the broken
link was replaced by shAoAle. The
| shiprnaster who fitted the ship out wher

THE INSTINCT OF LOCALITY

Men Possess It In Common with the Lower
Animals.
A cat carried one hundred miles In q
basket, q dog taken, perhaps, five hum
dred miles by rail, in a few days may
have found their way back to the start
ing point. So we have often been told,
and no doubt the thing has happened.
We have been astonished at the won
derful intelligence displayed. Magic,
should call it. Last week heard of a
captain who sailed from Aberdeen to
Arbroath. He left behind him dog
which according to the story had never
been in Arbroath, but when he arrived
there the dog was waiting on the
quay. I expected to believe that
the dog had known his masters
destination, and been able to
inquire the way overland to Arbroath.
Truly marvellous! But really, it is time
to inquire more carefully as to what
these stories do mean; we must cease to
ascribe our intelligence to animals, and
learn that it is we that often possess
their instinct.
A cat on farm will wander many
miles in search of prey and will, there
fore, be well acquainted with the coun-
try for miles round. 1t is taken fifty
miles away. Again it wanders and
comes across bit of country it knew
before. What more natural than that
it should go to its old home! Carrier
pigeons are taught sshoming" by taking
them gradually longer flights from
home, SO that they may learn the look
of the country. We can not always
discover that dog actually was
acquainted with the route by which it
wanders home, but it is quite absurd to
imagine, as most people at once do, that
it was perfect stranger to the lay OF
the land. To find our way a second
time over ground we have once trod is
scarcely intelligence; we can only call
it instinct, though the word does not in
the least explain the process. Two years
ago first visited Douglas, in the Isle of
Man. reached the station at II p m.
