The week has brought no new develop
ments in the Hawaiian situation, and no
further intimation of the ultimate purpose
of the administration with reference to
those islands. Yesterday eX-Minister
Stevens published a reply to the report of
Mr.. Blount, Mr.. Cleveand's Hawaiian
commissioner. This reply fills several col
umns and is scathing and outspoken in
its terms. Mr.. Stevens says in substance
that Mr. BlOunt's report contains gross
falsehoods; that it is founded on the atli-
davits of dissipated and absolutely unre-
liable loafers; that Blount catered to the
Queen and her attendants all the time he
was at Honolulu; that Blount studied only
one side of the situation; that he refused
courtesies offered by the American colony,
and that Blount's statements that he (Nlr.
Stevens) caused troops to be landed before
the Queens government fell, and assisted
in the revolution, is a lie from start to
finish

With reference to the Estate bank of
Barton" fraud, of which an account is
elsewhere given, it is to be noted that sec
ton 3493 of the Revised La As of Vermont,
permitting any number of persons to Or
ganize "a state bank, is weak in that it per-
mits persons living outside Of Vermont to
participate in the org nization of bank.
1t was this feature that enabled Brewer,
the New Yorker, to oIe.nze this ''state
bank' which has come to an untimely end.
Upon the day set for the opening of the
bank Hon. VIM. II. Dubois, state inspector
of finance, was promptly on the ground
and took hand in the public opening, as
he will in the public closing of this Wild
cat swinde. 1t is probable that the courts
of Vermont may show our neighbors in
other states that they cannot trespass upon
our hospitality without assuming the legal
responsibility of their acts The full his
tory of this affair has not yet been writ
ten, but there appears to be no doubt that
our Vermont officials have done their full
duty.

"a BROAD STREET,
New YORK, Nov. 20, 1898. {
The present week has brought very
sharp demand for good bonds and gilt
edged stocks. With our banks holding
! SIS, 100000 above the legal reserve, the
largest ever known, it is little wonder
that capital is seeking investment. Mon
ey, Ike men, become restless in non-em-
plOyment. In the past fifteen weeks de-
posts have increased S10j, 100000. About
four months ago even silver dollars com
manded premium Of four TO five per cent,
which shows the terrible scarcity of cur
rency at that time. Surely one extreme
follows another This very large reserve,
however, speaks louder than words as to
the state of general trade.
Railroads are buying very few rails. 1t
is claimed, furthermore, that recent sales
have been made at $50 per ton, the lowest
price ever known. The Edgar Thomp-
son works and also the Bethlehem iron
works, the two greatest iron mills in this
country, have shnt down. 1t is stated
that the Bethlehem iron works have not
single order on their books for steel rails.
The situation is not very rosy when we
consider that the farmers in this country
represent buying power of over 30,000,
600 of people, especially as this purchas-
ing power has suffered fearful reduction
In ordinary times wheat brings from 20 to
I,,g al 60
it brings from 4j to % cents a bushel.
The anthracite sales agents met yester-
day and decided that the production of
coal for December should remain un-
changed; viz, 100000 tons. The price
is also to remain the same.
The sugar schedule reported by the
ways and means committe, seems to be
very satisfactory to foreign refiners, and
was followed yesterday with the announce
ment by cable from Russian manufact-
urers that they had decided TO export four
million pounds between now and March.
1t is quite possible that the famous sugar
trust will ultimately go on the list of non
dividend payers. In fact, all of the So
considerably during the week, owing to
| proposed hostile legislation.
1t now looks as though many strong cor
porations will have hard work to keep up
! dividends until this administration passes
into history.
The writer begs to be excused for not
being more enthusiastic over the prospect
of any immediate improvement in bust;
ness. With iron at the lowest ebb in it:
history, with wheat selling at cost, with
quack doctors injecting untred medicine
into healthy industries, is it any wonder
that the conservative business man should
feel around for his bearings? Let the
tariff dance 90 merrily on, but remember
that the fiddler must be paid.

Death of CHARLES clement.

Charles Clement of Rutland, died in New
York city Friday at the age of So He
started from Rutland Monday with some
members of his family on his way to Flor
ida, where he has in recent years passed
his winters, but had a shock of apopIeXy
on the train. Mr.. Clement was the Oldest
and most successful business man of west
ern Vermont. He became interestel in
one of the early Rutland marble qua rries
in 1851, and managed a growing business
in that line, in the later years with two Of
his sons, under the firm name of Clement
& Sons, until the sale of the whole prom
erty was made for large price in 1876.
After this, Mr.. Clement, with his sons or
ganized the State Trust company and the
Clement national bank, acting as president
of these institutions, and became interested
in railroad and other enterprises. He was
for some years president of the Rutland
railroad, but finally sold his interest in that
corporation.

One Of the Grent Ne,yspnpers.

There is one thing to be said about the
New York Sun, however reprehensible the
reader may esteem its politics. 1t is an
American newspaper, filled with the Amer
lean spirit, and true always to the Ameri-
can idea. In the present Hawaiian situa-
tion the sun has been at the very front in
the intelligent and logical way in which it
has discussed the whole subject and shown
the wrong of any attempt on the part of
the great American Republic to reGstablish
and bolster up monarchy on those islands
of the Pacific. The Suns editorial page is
apt to make the wicked vince and the
scorners smile, but it is always bright and
readable, and its news pages shoN some
of the best reportorial work done in the
country. Its Sunday edition is a unique
specimen of good journalism, covering not
only the news and affairs of the day, but
reaching ont into the great field Of general
human knowledge, and presenting literary
features of great interest and merit

Petitions don't count with the present
administration. Frank Lawler, an eN-con-
gresham, wanted to be postmaster at Chi
cago, the people of that city wanted him
to have the Office, and 10000 signed pc
titon asking for his appointment. Wash
ington Hesng, who gets the nomination,
had no petition. He is editor of the lead
ing German paper of the Northwest, and
did what he could to throw the German
vote of Illinois to Cleveland. He went to
Buzzard's Bay to tell Grover what he had
done, and Grover was evidently grateful.

The .nenent.o From Free wool.

Ex.-Lieut. Gov. Halle of Massachusetts,,
of Halle, Frost * Co. of Hinsdale, n. H.,
is opposed to the changes in the tariff on
wool and wooden goods. "From the man
ufacturer's point of view," he says, "the
advantage of free raw material is more
than offset by the reduction in the tariff
on manufactured goods, which admits for
eign competition. But even if the tariff
on wooden goods were left as it is, he would
be opposed to admitting wool Free though
it would be to his advantage, for the rea-
son that it will tend to blot out great
American industry. The amount of money
invested in wool raising in this country is
enormous, and all this will be terribly Grip
pied, if not destroyed, if foreign wool is
admitted free of duty. An expert student
of the tariff" he said, 'has said since the
Mckinley bill was enacted that everything
indicated that within ten years the United
States would produce as much wool as it
would consume"

CONGRESS AND THE UNEM.
PLOYED.

Supervisor James will not be compli-
mented on his suggestion that Congress
should be appealed to TO supply funds to
establish manufactures in this State. Mr.
James should know that the present Con-
gress was elected on a platform which de-
elares the protection Of American indus
tries unconstitutional If it is unconstitu-
tional to pass a bill imposing duties on the
products of foreign mills to the end that
home mills might find more demand for
their products, and at prices which would
enable them to pay better wages than are
paid abroad, how much sharper the con-
f1ict of such law as Mr.. James proposes
with the constitution. What Congress
might do if it would is to disregard the
ridiculous and unpatriotic platform on
which it was elected and legislate for the
good Of the American people. If that
policy should be pursued manufactures
would be established in California as else
where. There is no lack of money here
Seeking a reasonably profitable invest
ment. There is no lack of labor that
would accept such wages as competition
within the United States may establish.
There is no lack of skill in workmanship
or business ability in disposing of goods.
The reason why capital does not 90 into
factories is the fear that foreign made
good will be thrown into the market at
prices below the American cost of produc-
tion,
