LET'S HAVE A CHANGE.

Dispatches tell us that James B. Koet-
ting, the defaulting Milwaukee bank
cashier, has been admitted to bail in the
sum of $4,000. Koetting stole $1,250,000
in cash. On the other hand, New York
judge has just sentenced boy to serve
fourteen years in the penitentiary for
stealing IA cents. 1t is suo6 Justice as
this that makes honest men weary, and
converts those who are not honest into
anarchists and socialists. From these
events it appears that Wisconsin and
New York are suffering quite as much
from too much law and too little justice
as is New Mexico with too much politics
and too little business.

MORE HOPEFUL.

1t seems to be pretty generally agreed
that Mr.. Gladstone is to retire from pub
lie life. The conclusion is even more
unanimous throughout the whole COM
mercial world that his government
should acknowledge that its policy has
been a mistake, and reopen the minis of
India to the free coinage of silver for
private account. The Londsn Times is
quoted in support of this view. Under
the influence of the closing of the mints
the imports of commodities has in
creased $10O,O0O,00O, and the exports
only $1O,OO0,000, and on the other hand,
Notwithstanding the closing of the mints,
India last year took only e75,00Oless silver
than In 1892. The people of India want
silver and are bound to have it. China,
too, has taken e2,oooo00 more silver
than in 1892, and has taken great deal
of business that formerly went to India.
The situation is certainly becoming more
hopeful for the white metal.
