The existing financial situation is part of
the penalty the country is paying for Dem
ocratic rule. The Democracy is over
wheimingly IN favor of cheap money
The great mass of its voters are opposed to
a sound national currency. They want
free coinage They want state currency
with an unlimited supply of irredeemahle
state bank notes. Either the adninistra-
ton is partially infected with the same
ideas or it is afraid of its party. The finan-
cial course OF the Cleveland government
has been va,'illaiing and laundering. APP
pareBtly il has not been able to formulate
anything Ike definite, consistent policy.
Measures have been half decided on and
then Withdrawn; official statements" have
been issued which were so ambiguous that
thcv have increased alarm instead of allay-
ing it. The entire conduct OF the adminis-
traticn in dealing with financial problems
has tended to lessen public confidence and
impair public credit.
Ii ia time that halt was called. Mere
make shifts. like that described in our spec
lal Washington dispatches today. by which
it is hoped to keep the gold reserve in the
treasury up to its full figure for another two
weeks, will not answer. Large exports Of
gold are likely to be the rule for som" time
to come. The good crops of last summer
in Europe have lessened the demand for
American breadstuffs. The great enlarge
meut of the free list by the Mckin-
ley law has resulted in marked increase
of importations and n corresponding outgo
of money to pay for them, This is a fact
which the advocates of revenue tariff
would do well to consider. A general let
ting down of tariff bars means an importa-
ton Of foreign merchandise which would
cause an enormous export movement of
American gold to pay for goods purchased
and bring about financial disasters
III comparison with which the pres
ent disturbance sinks into absolute in
significance. In face of prospective gold
exports, brought about by an adverse trade
balance. the duty of the government Is
plain. Panic mougers and distrustful for
eign capitalists should be taught lesson.
1t should be made manifest to all the world

Judge Wiswell broke ground on MONDAY
and entered upon his new duties by taking
up the work of the April term of the SUI
preme Judicial Court which the CHIEF just
ice left unfinished, being obliged to fill
his appointment for the spring term in
Lincoln county.
The Hancock bar turned out in force
and, with the officers of the court
iuries, witnesses and spectators, arose in
token of greeting when the new judge took
his seat for the first time on the bench. and
there was nobody present who did not re-
ioice- in Judge Wiswell's elevation. He
showed no sign either of nervousness or
elation IN his new position, and Young
lawyer who was present told the whole sto-
ry when he said that while the bar would
look up to Judge Wisweli he was sure
the judge would never look down on the
bar.

speskers have proved to q demonstration

that the United States is not only able to
maintain gold payments, but that it is the
unalterable determination of its govern
ment to do so.
The means for this are ready at hand,
Republican craftsmanship and patriotism
have given this country the best national
credit under the sun. The sale of a large
amount of bonds, not less than $50 900 900,
would carry the gold reserve already broken
into, far above the danger mark. 1t would
check gold exports, reassure apprehensivc
capital at home, and prove to Europe that
the United States is resolved to keep
every dollar of its currency at par. This
course would put an end to rumors of panic
or possibility Of gold premium until Con
gress meets. Sooner or later, in all proba-
biity, bonds will have to be issued. The
wisest plan is to forestall possible danger
by issuing them promptly. In this way the
government can secure an ample stock of
gold for all emergencies. 1t is the course
which prudence and craftsmanship ohyious-

The Flag a Honolulu.

The New York World betrays great aux
iety To have the American iiIg raised at
Honolulu by the provisional government
now that it has been hauled down by''COm-
missioner Blount
But there il every reason to believe that
the iag was 10 its place by the act of the
provisional government. II was faiscd in
the first place on the local government
building which was in control of the pro
visiOnal government when Minister Stevens
declared protectorate. This did not
supersede and did not alter the authority of
the provisional government which sat in the
building over which the flag was raised.
Secretary Foster dlsavowed the protector
ate in emphatic language. lie directed
Minister Stevens to inform the provisional
government OF this. The minister undoubt-
eddy did 50.
This ieft the responsibility for keeping
the flag iiying with the provisional govern
ment. Its members were glad to let the
ilag stay where it was and it did stay there
until Mr. Blount appeared. MIR. Blount is
not an officer of the | nitcd States. He has
no commission from it. lie has never been
nominated by the President and confirmed
by the Senate as the Constitution and the
laws require. He Is SIMPLY an American
citizen living IN Macon, Ga, who is travel
ing III Honolulu with letter in his pocket
from President Cleveland authorizing him
to act as his personal representative. lie
is this. lie is nothing more. lie does not
represent the nitcd States. Minister Ste
vcus still does that Mr.. Blount represents
President Cleveland. 1t was the rrcsi.

The lnhuman torturing of negro crimi
nails in the South, becomes matter of grave
importance to everyone under the Stars aud
Stripes. Well might the JnCRNAL hope,
when expressing its horror of the barbara
ties in Paris, fexas, that it would not soon
be- called upon to notice another such case
Yet that was but one incident in practice
which is growing feartally common. only
! shnr, time before the case of Henry Smith,
another negro hal been burned alive within
a hundred miles or 80 of the same place amt
within tso years Louisiana negro was de
liberately skinned alive by the whites. Now
comes this Georgia ease. Such citations
could be greatly multiplied, but those men
toned, stretching from the states on the At
lsntic coast to the Mexican border, show the
hiAeous extent of this thirst for bool and
torture.
The growing frequency and feroci,y of
these scenes the absence of trial and hence
the uncertainty of the victim ai'rayN
being the guilty party, must
cause every true American to blush for
shame. The white man now has no money
interest in the negro, rs he did IN slave
days and, that check to violence having
ceased, the black man, whether criminal, or
merely under suspicion, is exposed to the
fury of hatred which grows with every
Indulgence. Not only are these cases grow
ing more frequent, but more intense and
ingenious IN their cruelty heginn'ng with
brutal beating and driving away. unre-
strained mob law then evolved hanging
without trial, and has now advanced until
