Accompanied by half the nobility OF
Austria, went to the Carlsbad Springs for
the recovery Of his health. Six Thousand,
six hundred horses, SO the town records
say, were necessary to convey the company
to the place.
The virtues OF the water is as great at
the present day - II was in.the time of
Charles ii, and although the expense at
tached to journey thither is not as great
now as it was then, we are not all wealthy
enough to undertake it. For such the
virtue of the Carlsbad Spring is extracted.
The Carlsbad Sprudel Salt, obtained by
evaporation, containing all the solid con-
,stituents of the water, can be obtained at

THAT TRADE REVIVAL

The mercantile agencies few weeks
ago We're predicting that the bottom had
been reached and the turn had come in
business matters, because few orders
had been received in the West and
Suth for goods and a
few mills were starting up. The News,
anxious to discover the faintest sign OF re-
turning prosperity, closely scanned these
reports, but could place no credence
in them for there had been no change
in the conditions that brought about
the prevailing distress. 1t saw that the
mills which started up did so on reduced
time and wages and simply on orders ;
that they closed down just as soon as
the orders were filled; that con-
fidence had not returned to the
people, because we were still suff-
ering from the lack of financial
policy; that the tariff tinkering was not
satisfactory to either party, and was
saw that the dominant party could not
manage its own unruly members, and
that the widest schemes were proposed
and seriously considered as remedial
measures for the prevailing financial
distress. Therefore, it could see no
reason for belief in the permanency of
any business revival. The few mills
that started up did so at reduced wages,
and with reduced forces and hours.
Today these agencies are taking back
water. Bradstreet says that improved
sales of cotton goods at Eastern and
Western cities are accompanied with
| explanations that they are due
to cut prices, an outcome
| of which, in New England,
in some instances, is reduced wages
of operatives. Print cloths are lower,
and demand for woolens is as slow as
heretofore. Prices of woolen goods are
shaded, which results in slight in
o ease in volume distributed"
In other words the New England mill
workers are paying for the demand by
their reduced wages. The West and
South are ordering goods at figures only
made possible by the 20
to 30 per cent. reduction in the
wages of the New England mill-workers
and thus the only line of improve
ment, turns out to be q fictitious de-
mand caus d by low prices entirely
dep .ndent up N lower wage paymen. S,
hardly a healthful symptom of reviving
! trade

PROvlDENT PAWN SHOPS.

A thoroughly unique but altogei her
commendable bill is under consideration
at Albany. 1t provides for the es-
tablishment of series of pawn shops
to be run for charitable purposes only.
A merely nominal interest will be
charged and all the sting aud
humiliation that accompanies the
usual pilgrimage to the house of Israel
will be dispensed with entirely.
The incorl orators include such finan-
ciers as Cornelius Vanderbilt, Frederick
X. Coudert and Abram S. Hewitt.
They propose to open loan
offices all over New York,
where the needy may apply and obtain
temporary sums of money on all kind
of goods and chattels. There will be
none Of the disagreeable features at
tached to this transaction that make
the average pawn shop place to be
Stunned by all people of acute
sensibilities. The brokers will
not be looked upon as the natural
enemies of their customers, seeking to
grow rich out of their want and
misery. The rate of interest charged
will be merely sufficient to give the
scheme business aspect. The patron
of these shops loses not an
iota of his self respect, nor
will he be looked upon as mendicant.
The shops are for his relief, not his
downfall.
Practical charity has never been
better or more conspicuously displayed

BLAND AND THE HOUSE.

MT. Dlanu IOSL MS temper yesterday
because the members of the House were
refusing to give him that quorum he so
mnch desired to pass his vacuum
coming" measure, as Mr.. Hewitt so
aptly termed it the other night.
He "sassed' his fellow. Democrats with
much bitterness, asserting that their
actions constituted anarchy and rev.
olution, and he inquired show
members, who openly declared that
they would not obey the rules
and orders of the House, could expect
the people of the country, suffering from
want of ood and shelter, to observe the
laws of the land with greater respect"
Mr. Bland must have been very much
provoked and very much excited to have
given utterance to such extravagant
and nonsensical expressions.
The best thing the members of the
House can do, instead of slSulking around
the lobbies and ont into the ecloak-ro ms
to avoid voting on the measure,
is to come out man-fashion and
kill the bill by pushing it to vote
and voting against it. Personally the
majority would, if they dared, vote
against it, but the party pressure
and the sectional pressure that
is brought to bear upon
them to vote for the bill
is too strong TO allow them to vote
against it. and they are wasting their
time in their determination to fillibuster
until actually forced into action. When
brought down to the ringbolt they will
vote for the bin. They deserve condemna-
tion Of the most unsparing sort. but this
tacit encouragement to the anarchistic
and socialistic element, by pointing
out to them examples in high places,
is wrong aud almost criminal.
But look at Mr.. Blands proposition in
the light of the present price of silver
At yesterdays price of silver bullion the
silver dollar is actually worth 1921
cents. The silver in the treasury against
which Mr.. Bland wants to issue silver
certificates on the seigniorage would
make 1914 ,S99 standard dollars. The
actual worth of these 1S1 ,9lI, 800 dollars
is Ss4, LOGS, ,106. There already exists
$l2G, 75S,21s in treasury notes represent
ing this bullion, or, as the Boston
Herald points out, ''over-representing it
to the extent of $50, 1856, $751;" Mr.. Bland
wants to issue many millions more GER
titicates against this already
over-represented silver bullion.
His proposition to coin the seignior-
age is one If the most dishonest propo-
sitions ever seriously considered by Con-
gress, especially in the face
OF Carlisle's announced intention
of redeeming tho certificates in
gold. The silver in the treasury already
has NOES outstanding against it in ex-
cess ofits actual worth by over $50, OO0,-
0OU. Bland proposes TO go ahead and issue
more certificates, not against this silver,
but against q mythical profit on this
silver arising TO the Government through
the differences in the bullion value
Of a silver dollar and 100 cents. AS
The News has shown the bullion value
today Is 46 cents. Therefore for every
dollar that the silver would coin into.
