The knowledge in business circles among our own people that our government can not make it's fiat equivalent to intrinsic value, nor keep inferior money on parity with superior money by it's own independ- ent efforts, has resulted in such lack of confidence at home, in the stability of cur rency values, that capital refuses it's aid to new enterprises while millions are actually withdrawn from the channels of trade and commerce to become idle and unp' oduc tive in the hands of timid owners. For eign investors, equally alert, not only de- cline to purchase American securities, but make haste to sacrifice those which they already have. It does not meet the situation to say that apprehension in regard to the future of our finances is groupdless and that there is no reason for lack of confidence in the pur. poses or power of the government in the premises. The very existence of this ap- prehension and lack of confidence, how ever caused, is @ menace which ought not for 8 moment to be disregarded
 PARITY IMPOSSIBLE.
 Possibly if the undertaking we have in hand were the msintenancy of specific known quantity of silver at the parity with gold, our ability to do so might be esti mated and gauged, and perhaps in view of our unparalleled growth and resources, might be favorably passed upon. But when our avowed endeavor is to maintain such parity in regard to an amount of sil yer increasing at the rate of $50, COG, 900

 FUND THE PENSIONS IN BONDS.
 The pensions of this government for the year 1892 were s139, ,035,6 SIS For the year 1893 there is an appropriation of $144,- 956, 900 and an estimated deficiency of $10, ,50S, ,621 beside. From 1861 through 1892 our government paid out the enor- mous sum nf-$1, ,418, ,348, ,212 for pensions These payments are legacy of the war. They are part of the cost of the Union. Why should the immediate present bear the whole of this heavy burden, whose benefits are not for now slone but for by and by as welli
 The country Is tremendously in need of currency, and the bonds on which currency is issued have been SO far retired that they are scarce.

LET HAWAII ALONE
This VIII Doubtless be the Policy OF the
Congressional MnIorIty.

WASHINGTON, Dec 29.--There is little
prospect Of any great stir in the house
over the Hawaiian question when con
gress Ieconvenes, although it is possible
that the resolution reported from the
committee on foreign affairs may be
passed. Chairman McCreary, OF the COM
mittee expects the resolution of the COM
mittce will come before the house Che last
Of next week. Several speeches will be
delivered and an attempt may be made
to pass resolution condemning Minister
Stevens course, but no effort is likely to
be put forth by the majority to direct
the presidential policy as to Hawaii by
means of affirmative legislation. The
policy of the majority in the house is
rather to let the matter drop. Chairman
McCreary is of opinion that the whole
matter will be allowed to rest just where
1t Is now, and that a policy of nofl-inter-
ference will be rigidlY adhered to, leaving
the present Hawaiian governments and the
people OF the islands to take care of their
own affairs.
Thus it would seem that the Hawaiian
incident so far as the house is concerned
is practically over, with the exception of
what may be said and done when the reso-
luton of the foreign affairs committee as
to the course of our nj mister is considered.

Sensational Charges Of Mismnpasement
Against the Receivers.

Sensational Charges of Mismapas cement
Against the Receivers.
MILWAUKEE, Dec. 29-A highly sensa-
tiOnal turn was given to the Norther Pa
citic railroad receivership situation when
Colonel SiIas w. Petit. of Philadelphia,
the general counsel of the corporation, ap-
peared before Judge Jenkins in the United
States circuit court for the eastern dis
trict of Wisconsin and filed petition for
the removal of tho present receivers,
Messrs. Thomas f. Oakes Henry G. Payne
and Henry c. Rouse, and for the appoint
ment of other receivers in their places.
The petition makes serious and sensa-
tional charges against Receiver and ex-
President Thomas F Oakes, Henry VIII
lard and Roswell q Roiston, president OF
the Farmers Loan and Trust company of
New York. at the instance of which com
pany the bill for IA receiver was filed No
charges are made, however, against lie
ceivers Payne and Rouse.
The petition says the road applied for
change of receivers upon the ground that
at the time the receivers were appointed
1t practically had no hearing; that Its
managers had in less than year saddled
II with the interest of S31, 600 900 for prop
critics which were of no value to it, but in
many of which they were personally In
terested and out of which they make
large profits, and that when the insol-
vency produced by this fraud and mis-
management the president Of the com
pany and the president or the trustee of
the mortgage. who had participated in
the fraud and mismanagement, oolluded
together to put the road into the hands of
receivers who were nominated by them
for the purpose of and with the effect Of
perpetuAting the same control which had
brought about the bankruptcy.
