1.-THE certificates of Indebtedness are
more largely in use because they are
without date as to payment and are
only due when the corporation can
pay. As a result they are quite use
less as collateral. meantime towns,
villages and cities issue bonds to
meet tn ir expenses, but just at pre-
sent no one will buy the bonds. AS
An an example look at the pitiable
condition of New York, or rather the
government of that city. Duly au-
thorzed to bond itself in its various
departments il can induce no tinan-
ciers to take up its bonds. Sc it's i'm
prOvementS and public works and de-
partments are pArryzed, and it's poor
laborers, always dependent on the
departments for wages, are staving.

TEN. we would be in just as bad a
fix if we owned the machiney as if we
had contract, possibly worse.

very important question. We must

thinking the council desires to be

what is desired by the people, 1t is
highly probably that the city can

which will be received, but it may

RESULT OF LITTLE'S BOHB.
He Maintains His Ignorance
Of Any Irregularities in
the Overstatement.
ONE STOCKHOLDER SUES,
Claiming to Have Been Duped
Into Purchasing Atchi-
son Bonds,

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-J. W. Rein
hart, president and one of the receivers
OF the Atchison railway, has resigned
his position.
On Aug. 8 Mr.. Reinhart, before re-
ceiving or being officially informed Of
the contents of Mr.. Little's report, sent
the following letter to the board oil
directors of the Atchison company, and
a similar letter was also placed in the
hands of W. Fl. Peckham, counsel of
the Union Trust company, to be pre-
sented to the court:
Gentlemen: | hereby tender my
resignation as president of the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway COM
pany. and l request that you will
forward copy of this resignation to
each of the auxiliary companies COM
posing the system, and that the directors
of such companies will please consider
such copy as my resignation as presi-
dent and director of each of said COM
panles. The recent examination Of the
accounts of the company undertaken
with my hearty approval, has called
attention to certain methods of state
ment which have been the subject of
much adverse criticism. So far as |
have seen, no imputation has been
made upon
My Personal Integrity
or any suggestion that have profted
to the slightest degree by reason of the
matters criticised.
Certain features Of my administration
have, however. been so generally criti-
cised that 1 feel, whether rightly or
wrongly, l am no longer IN full har-
mony with those interested in the prop
erty.
Il am satisfied that my further con-
tinuance as the president of the COM
pany might be an obstacle in the way
OF speedy and successful reorganiza-
tion of the property. have no desire
to impair in any way the efforts DOW
being made, or which may be made
hereafter to put the property on
sound basis for successful operation.
Under these circumstances, it seems
hardly fair that | should continue to
operate the property, even though con-
hdent as am that ultimately my course
will be found to have been to the inter-
est of all.
II wish to add, in justice to myself.
that am also impelled to take this
course by the fact that my health has
for some time been seriously impaired.
and do not feel that, even under the
most favorable conditions. l could
longer continue the strain and RESPONSE
billy of the position.
"Thanking the board for the con-
hdence reposed in me. remain
Very respectfully.

Business men of St. Paul, this is a
good time TO get your ears TO the ground
and hear the rumble and roar of the
coming commercial revival. The dark
days of depression are already over. land
there are signs OIL every hand of the re-
coyery Of business from its long sleep.
The COXeyiteS have taken to the woods,
the labor agitator5 have retired for re-
Election, the period Of unrest is at an
end, and right now is the time for the
man with capital to invest it and get
ready for the boom which Is awaiting all
legitim ate financial and commercial en-
terprises. For proof of its assertion
that the clouds have rolled 10y, the
GLOBE invites scrutiny of its own COL
umns this morning. A glance at the
table Of bank clearanceS shows that the
increase in exchanges in ST. Paul over
the corresponding week of last year
reaches the phenomenal figure of 33.6
per cent. In Bradstreet's review of the
week the same general story is told in
this language: 1.-The practical cessation
OF the various industrial disturbances of
the year has emphasized the tendency
to improvement reported by telegraph
from leading manufacturing and COM
mercial centers this week" The dis
tinctly financial field is, too, full of
promise. The New York Journal of
Commerce has this to say: "It is with
satisfaction that we are at last able to
record much more hopeful feeling in
banking circles. While there are still
many hlndrances in the way of i'm
provement. it is not too much to say
that a majority of the leading bank
presidents take distinctly more hope
full view of the future than they did a
few weeks ago." There are also many
signs Of a revival of the demand for
labor. Here is one of the dispatches
that came in last night:
DULUTH, Mimi. Aug. 10.-Nineteen
lumber vessels are loading here today
with 100000 feet of lumber. This
fleet is the largest ever loaded at Duluth
or any other Lake Superior port. All
of the lumber showers at the head of the
lakes are busy, and many outside of the
regular force are employed.
Let every shoulder go to the wheel at
once. and there will be such business
boom as has not been known III this
country since the early eighties.

Claims Fraud in the Representa-

Claims Fraud in the Representa-
tions of Atchison Officials.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Matilda Wal
lace has brought two suits IN the sups-
rior court of this city against j. w.
Reinhart. as president of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad, one to
recover $4,000 damages and the other
to recover $500 damages. The grounds
for the action are that President Rein
hart issued statement on June So 1898,
giving the Atchison surplus OF Sl,9lS,-
$50, as above the operating EXPENSES,
and on Sept. %, 1898, made another
statement showing the excellent condi-
ton of the company, and the amount
Of securities held in its treasury
Plaintiff further charges that on June
q, 1894, the defendant had published in
the New York World statement show
Ing the condition of the company's
finances, which plaintiff claims was not
correct statement of the company's
atfairs.a and sets forth that the statements
in the complaint are confirmed by the
report OF Stephen Little, the expert ac-
couatant who made the statement for
the reorganization.
Plaintiff AYERS that on the representa-
tions made by President Reinhart she
purchased 1,700 shares of AtchiSOn
stock, and that she is damaged thereto
to the amount of the sums that she
seeks to recover.
The complaint has been served on
President Relnhart.

GOOD MONEY.

The demand for an unlimited coinage
| or silver dollars and the attempt to
force upon the public silver certificates
as the legal tender in payment of all
debts are not based upon a true estimate
of the peoples needs.
The cry for cheap money comes from
the West, and the loudest criers are
those who have invested large amounts
in silver mines and are anxious to make
those investments good, even at the
| expense of the nation.
So that the desire to foist upon the
public metal that is depreciating in
value as full payment of just debts IS
contrary to honorable methods OF busi-
ness.
Let money be as plentiful as water,
but let 1t be good money. such as would
be acceptable at home and respected
abroad.
The fiat of government, however
strong or wealthy, cannot overcome the
| demands of domestic or foreign COM
merce that places everything, whether
gold or silver, whether wheat or pork,
upon its true basis OF value. This
|
circulation as a legal tender is nothing
new.
MIR. Edward Atkinson's researches in
ancient history reveal certain shady
transactions of past ages which have a
startling resemblance to our modern
methods in financial circles.
Solon was less honest than he was
wise when he debased the coinage so
that hundred new drachma were
worth no more than seventy-three of
the old ones.
During the second Punic war the
senate of Rome reduced materially the
weight of the copper coin, and, mo doubt,
forced this clipped coin upon the ma
tion at its full face value.
The debased pound sterling of 1906
was decreed as good money by Philip
of Spain.
Prof. James B. Thayer, of Harvard, is
an authority for the statement that Ed
ward III. of England made it a penal
offenSe to refuse the debaSed coin of the
realm.
James II. of England, being without
money, was told that he could eXtri-
cate himself from his financial difficult
ties by calling farthing shilling"
One would believe from the wild
statements made by some parties that
there existed foolish prejudice against
silver itself as a metal, OF that there
was a worldwide conspiracy against
the silver interests of this country.
We will be bimetallist as soon as it
can be proved that silver is enuaI. or
can be made equal, to gold in the pay
ment of our just dues to each other or
| to the world.
