THE GOLD RESERVE.

The 500, 900, 900 which has been supposed
to be the minimum amount IN the United
States treasury that would enable the
Government at all times 30 main ain
legal tenders at par with gold is now
reduced about 40 per cent. The so-called
treasury notes which were issued
in payment of silver bullion under
the act of 1890 are. by the ruling
of the treasury under two administra-
tons, added TO the amount of currency re-
deemable in gold. 1t would seem, there
fore, that the S60,000000 or more OF gold in
the treasury is carrying q pretty heavy
load.
The treasury now has the choice of
two alteTnatives-it may buy gold with in
terest-bearing bonds, or it may avail itself
of the option the law gives it ana redeem
currency in part with silver. 1t does not
follow that an announcement that the
treasury will exercise this option will
cause gold 10 rise TO a premium. Gold and
silver circulate al parity in business, and
may in Government transactions. The
alternative Of the exercise of this option to
redeem currency in part In silver is
considerable increase in the bonded in
debtedness of the nation. We have had
one increase of S5O,OO0,OO0. and hints have
been thrown out in New York papers that
a popular loan of $3.50 100000 will be
needed to tide the treasury over the pres
ent depression in the revenues. 1t is not
deemed possible, however, that a gold
bond issue can be carried through Con-
gress at the present session. WHAT may
be done after the November elections is not
so easy of prediction. Whatever penalty
can be inflicted upon representatives for
disregard of the will of their constituents
will at that time have been visited upon
them.

TWO SURPRISES.

One of the surprises of the Republican
convention was the defeat of Justice de
Haven. There was no aspirant before thu
convention who was considered so certain
of nomination. There was always a
doubt as to the nomination for the second
full term, but none for the first until late
Wednesday night, when a rumor got out
that the exigencies of the nominating
machine required the sacrifice of De
Haven. In the early part of the season.
before il was known what influence would
be dominant in the convention, De Haven
was much spoken of for Governor. He
gave his friends no announcement to urge
his claim. preferring to remain upon the
Supreme bench. 1t was not then deemed
possible that the cards would be given
such shuttle as to retire to private life a
Justice who enjoys the unbounded conf
aence of the honest men of both parties.
The second surprise is the defeat of E.

THE INCOME-TAX DEBATE.

1t is assumed in Washington dispatches
that the debate on the income-taX bill will
last the week out. The friends of the tax

opponents have pointed out that small
property holders who have their little all

pearances indicate that the tariff bill will

may insist upon such amendments to the

so THE WORLD GOES.

The only universal fact that modern
man has any knowledge of is that the cost
OF government is increasing faster than
the increase of wealth or population. In
Europe 1t is the national Governments that
absorb the money. In the United States
State and municipal governments are Test
ing the patience and ability of taxpayers.
The Philadelphia Record says that the
population of that city in the past thirteen
years has increased 30 per cent. and the
cost of government has increased by $50
per cent. And yet Philadelphia is regarded
as a conservative and slow-gOlng city.

HAVEMEYER AND HILL.

In Mr.. Havemeyer's testimony before
the Senate Sugar Committee he said he
had paid two visits to Senator Hill OF New
York. His purpose was to induce the
Senator 10 accept the schedule that had
found favor in the eyes of Secretary
Carlisle aud certain Senators whose names
have been mentioned in connection with
the sugar scandal Mr. Havemeyer ap-
pealed 10 Senator Hill as a protectionist.
He said in his testimony that he used no
other argument than that the industry was
employing large number of men in New
York State. and that consequently a New
York Senator ought to take some interest
in it. But Mr.. Havemeyer admits that
Mr.. Hill did not take the interest in the
trust which others had taken. His testi-
mony, if reliable, shows clearly that SEN
atOr Hill was not Influenced by the oppor-
tunities sugar legislation offered for
speculation. Mr.. Havemeyer's effort to
justify a sugar schedule that would secure
TO the trust profit of from $50, 900, 600 to
S50,000,000 a year on the ground that the
trust employs many men does not reflect
much credit upon Mr.. Havemeyer's gen.
eral intelligence. The trust would employ
no more men with a duty of one-half q
eent pound on refined sugar than it
would with duty Of two or three mills
pound. The latter rate would rule out
sugar refined abroad and a higher rate
not increase the amount refined at home.
On the contrary, the effect of high rate.
so far as it would have any. would be in
the direction of decrease, as the lower the
price the more sugar would be consumed.
As Mr.. Havemeyer could not fail 20 per-
ceive this flaw in his argument. the con-
clusion naturally is that his real purpose
in visiting Mr.. Hill was to show how
heavy duty on refined sugar might be
made source Of personal profit to Sens-
tors who would aid in such legislation.

Miscreants Attempting to Blow Up the
Town with Dynamite-Bill Cook
Writes a Threatening Letter to a
States Attorney.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 2O.-The
isolated town of Andover, in Allegany
county, has been treated to an exciting
experience in the last three days.
Early Friday morning the village was
awakened by an explosion which shook
the windows in the farm houses all
around. The big frame building used
by Charles Cochran as storage ware
house had blown up. There was no
fire in it and no oil or explosives
were stored there The build
ing had evidently been torn to
pieces by the force of dynamite
or some other explosives. At noon car
penters at work on the house of l.. G.
Van Vleet found stick of dynamite
attached to half burned fuse under
the house, and this confirmed the opin-
ion that dynamite was used on the store
house.
A meeting of citizens was held and a
committee appointed to discover the
perpetrator of the outrage. Yesterday
Harrison Bundy went into his barn
and found another stick of dynamite
and half burned fuse on the floor.
Andover is in state of terror. The
streets are patrolled at night by vol
unteers and every effort is being made
to locate the miscreant. Rewards have
been offered but have brought no new
evidence.

PORK TO BE PRESCRIBED.
American Hog to Follow Beef in tho
Exclusion From Germany.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The United
States consul at Stuttgart, Germany,
Alfred C. Johnson, is in the city on
leave of absence st is difficult" he
said, ito predict just what effect
the new tariff will have on the
trade relations of Germany and the
United States, but in some lines, nota-
bly, in common and wooden goods, there
will be a largely increased export from
Germany. The trouble about Ameri-
can meats started in my district, though
the restriction became general since
my arrival in this country. The first
objection to our beef came from
the mayor o. Heilbrun, who claimed
that the people did not want the
Chicago product. The butchers of
town, however, were of a contrary
opinion, for they wrote to me to see if
the embargo could not be lifted, and
the matter at once became of diplo-
matte Importance. AS yet the pro-
scription has not extended to pork, but
it is extremely probable that the
American hog will ere long suffer the
same fate as the American steer in
German markets"
