TALLACIoUs ExPEDIENTs.

The silver purchases and the exports
of gold are simple business questions.
and If continued must inevitably have
serious results that neither the preva-
lent sophistries of certain partisan
organs nor the temporary expedients
now suggested will avoid.
Our exports of gold since January
LIST, amounting to over $4,000, 900 have
reduced the treasury holdings of the
precious metal TO the actual danger
limit and the demands for tomorrow's
steamers can only be met by special
measures. Those special measures are
now being adopted. The New York
banks are voluntarily depositing gold in
the sub-treasury and receiving thereon
paper currency. We are Informed by
the New York Tribune that this action
of the bankers settles the whole matter.
and that there need no longer be any
fear that the government will be forced
TO a silver basis, and that the govern
ment will thus be able to meet all its
Obligations without suspension of
specie payments.
To state the matter briefly the forego-
ing assumptions are both an unneces.
sary confession of weakness, and a
species Of argument that is wholly un.
warranted and strangely confuse the
existing facts. We are told that the
government is mistrusted by foreign i'm.
vestors who are drawing gold from rs
for special reasons. The fact of the
matter is that Europe has not gold
enough with which to transact its busi.
ness and II Is taking IL from us because
we are willing TO allow it 10 do so.
This country is the gold banker of the
world. Foreign countries are boarding
gold. We are spending it.

IMMEDIATE SANITATION.

Cholera again in Hamburg, Asiatic
cholera in Marseilles, and the renewed
outbreak of malignant typhus in New
York.
These were the three appalling warn
ings that flashed over the wires yester-
day. Today they are repeated, and the
signal Of what may come TO this conn
try during the next few months is al
ready sounded some weeks earlier in the
season than last year.
AT that time there was a DELAY that
was serious, and would have been more
so had not most stringent measures
been taken at the last moment. Even
then the disease obtained foothold in
New York before immigration was en-
tirely stopped
The passage Of the quarantine bill on
Wednesday, while it is not so perfect
a preventive az it might be, will en-
able the authorities if they exercise due
care TO prevent the importation Of the
disease germs from abroad.
Yet that is but one phase of the ques-
tion. 1t is in no sense an alarmists
statement to call attention to the
fact that this disease having once
started in locality has never failed to
appear in the following year, over a
more extended area.
We must not lose sight of the fact
that new cases of the disease abroad are
but an illustration of what we may
naturally expect here, even if all immi-
grafton is suspended at once.
If we seek for further reasons for pre-
caution there is no need to look beyond
the city itself. Night before last a den
of filth was burned. IL had been con-
demned, and its occupants ordered long
ago to renovate it or vacate. The city |
health officers looked upon it as breed |
ing place for disease.
We are informed that if the occu-
pants had not complied with the orders
they would have been ordered out |
soon. What is the force of the word |
'soon" in such a connection? What is
the condition OF our sanitary laws that
deal with places full with deadly filth,
"soon"?
There are other equally dangerous
places within stones throw of the
burned "hotel," and in other parts of
the city.
Is the public to learn after these
places have become the hotbeds Of dis
ease from which death may be expected
TO spread over the city, that remedial
will be taken "soon?"
The city authorities are not to be too
severely censured in this matter. They
ire limited in their enforcement of
lax laws by the pressure of
public opinion, which is frequently too
sensitive about individual rights. In
lines like the present it is not a ques-
ion of individual right alone. 1t is the
protection of the community that
hould be aimed at, and the thought of
Individual loss of either time or mon ey
hould not weigh for an instant.

tegrity of the government. If thev

adopted would tend to aggravate rather
than allay them. Our bankers are con-
Tossing their fear of the national gov
ernment by rushing to its assistance
III the government is amply able to take
care of itself what is the need of such a
course? Will foreigners be likely TO
have greater confidence in a govern
ment that is being assisted to maintain
a gold basis by the voluntary coutribu.
tlons OF private parties? The loans
made by individuals constitute an obli-
CATION which must be met some time.
That fact is palpable to all, and it
| being true, is the gold basis made
any more firm eventually by the govern
ment that continually adds to its obi
cations to its own citizens in order to
meet the demands made upon it by the
citizens of other countries? Is not the
government by such action simply
washing one hand with the other: in
other words, simply shifting its obliga-
tions?
The fallacy, the deception and the
specious character of all such pleading
as is being resorted to, lies in fact that
the people and the government are made
to appear as two distinct parties, that
the gold in the hands of the people and
that in the hands of the government are
theoretically distinct. The fact is that
the gold of the government belongs to
the people and the gold in circulation
also belongs to them. The government
and the people are practically one. ANY
transfer of gold from one to the other is
merely shifting it from one pocket to
the other.
What we need to consider is not. Can
the government maintain a gold basis.
but Can the people support it on gold
basis There need not be the slightest
hesitation on this point. For all practi-
cal purposes a gold basis can be main
tanned in spite of the continuance of the
present demand from abroad for fiftv
years, if necessary. There is in the
country today $685., 900, 600 of gold. and
the demands for il are not likely TO be
made at any future time.
There remains, however, the meat Of
this whole question of gold exports, and
that is its expediency. While on the
one hand we have $685., ,OO0, 600 of gold.
we have as nation enormous obliga-
tions. There are outstanding in treas
ury notes, United States notes. gold
certificates. bank notes, etc, over $40 |
O00,0O0 All these must be paid in
gold. (We include bank notes because
they are secured by bonds payable in
gold.) As people, therefore. we have
not gold enough to meet our obliga.
tions, should they all be presented for
payment at once, by over $780, 600.
If we add TO the above obligations $3.50
300, 900 of gold bonds our liabilities in
gold will amount TO 81 1920, OOO, 900. and

LONDON, March 29.-To-day for the
flftioth time the crews OF Oxford and
Cambridge sat in their shells on Thames
water and rowed for dear life to win,
and to-day Oxford won her twenty
seventh victory over Cambridge,
To.days course is the historic stretch
OF water lying between Putney and
Morllake, which measures approxi-
mately 4,l74 miles. On Putuey bridge
before the race began serried rows OF
people lined the parapet and watched
the preparations for the start with eager
interest. Each side OF the river was
lined with tugs, barges, wherries and oil
manner OF odd craft accommodating
sight seers. Ashore and aaoat there
was gay show Of bunting, Along the
course balconies were filed with gaily
dressed ladies' and the scene was one OF
constant brightness. The start took
place from the stone bridge at Putney,
The appearance ot=both crows was the
signal for an outburst Of hearty cheer
Ing.
Cambridge won the toss and selected
the Surrey side, the sunny side OF the
river. The tide was running strongly
and there was slight wind. The crews
having stripped, little remained to dis
tinguish one crew from the other ex'
cept the colors OF their oar blade.
All being in readiness, the official
starter fired his pistol and amid the
shouts OF thousands OF admirers aud the
hooting and screeChes OF steam whistles
the crews shot up stream to decide their
iiftieth contest. Yells OF excitement
and shouts OF announcement to both
crews arose all along the course as the
boats came in sight, and as thoy passed
crafts Of every kind to be seen on the
Thames closed in behind and crowded
after.
At Clasper's boat house Cambridge
was leading by three feet. In the last
half Of tho race, Oxford forged ahead.
At the three.quarlers point Oxford was
six feet in advance. Oxford led by q
yard at Chiswick Eyot about two one:
eighth miles from the start. Oxford
maintained her lead to tho end OF tho
race and won by half u length amid the
usual din OF whistles and tho thunder.
ing OF cheers and yells along shore and
afoat. Oxtord's time was Is minutes
and AZ seconds.
The Oxford and Cambridge race is Of
added interest to Americans this year
by reason OF the prospective appearance
OF those famous anu famously trained
crews in Americaand against our petted
Harvard or Yale. So the comparison OF
time made at home and abroad becomes
n matter OF importance. In the four
mile race Harvard and Yale have never
equalled tho time made by Oxford last
year. In 1888 the distance was covered
in 2010.

that he should have the benefit Of the

that newspaper men were also to be dis
