LITERARY NOTES.

Mrs. Kate Chopin, author of Bayou
Folk" has written for the June num-
Der of Moods" Philadelphia new
quarterly story which is radically
different from anything she has at
tempted before. 1t deals with per-
sonal phase of thought of the author,
and then points the mental position by
a clever little sketch, "Juanita.'
princes and Processes Paper
Dolls" is the title of the new series of
paper dolls that Frederick A. Stokes
Company are manufacturing. The per-
sonages represented are Mary Queen
of Scots as she appeared in 1912; Crown
Princess Wilhelmina of Holland, 1887
an American princess, 1895; Infanta
Marguerite of Spain, 1872: Charles
Philippe, Dauphin of France, IVA;
Crown Prince Wilhelm Friedrich of
Germany, 1880; Albert Edward, Prince
of Wales, 1855. These dolls are after
water color designs by Elizabeth s.
Tucker, and are done in her daintiest
style. The historical paper dolls pub
liShed by the Frederick A. Stokes Com
pany have proved very popular with
the children, as we'll as with their par
ents, who often use them as a means
of instruction.
Robert Louis Stevenson's last story,
''St. Ives" was left at his death prac-
tically completed, so it is stated by
those who have seen the manuscript.
Many chapters had even received the
authors final revision. Stevenson had
been at work upon this novel for more
than q year, and the first half of it had
been entirely rewritten several times

AN INEXCUsABLE DELAY.

Comptroller McCardy has finally
signed the contract for the Como
avenue bridge. AS far as we can
learn, it is the same contract which
he has refused to sign for some
months past. The company which
was to build the bridge desires to
give up the job, because the cost of
the work has increased so much in
the interval, by the rise in prices
of material, that it sees in it only
loss. The question now arises
whether or not it can be held to
it's original agreement. If not, then
the city will have to spend several
thousand dollars extra to secure the
completion of this necessary i'm
provement. The situation seems to
create dilemma for the city comp
troller. He has said, or been rep
resented as saying, that he did not
sign the contract before, because he
could not do so under the city char
ter. If that is true, how has he
signed it now? IF, on the contrary,
he is able to sign it now, why could
he not have done so at q time when
1t would have assured the building
of the bridge by the first of August?
1t is certainly doubtful whether the
company to which the work was as
signed can be obliged to complete it
by an extension of time. If not, then
the people of st. Paul are the losers.
not only by the postponement that
ensues, but by the necessarily en-
HANGED cost. AS far as we have.
been informed, the delay that has
occurred is wholly inexcusable, and
is due only to the desire of Mr.. Nc
Cardy to haggle over fine points and
to have his own way. Usually this
is a matter which affects only the
dignity of his Office, of which he
is more than ordinarily watchful.
Here it is a question of dollars and
cents, and of the public interest. AS
the matter stands at present, the
comptroller, by his hair splitting, has
placed the city in a losing position,
while he has been obliged to recede
from his own. If the Como avenue
bridge is not built this season, or if
it is constructed at a cost above that
named in the original contract, the
taxpayers will have right to ask
Mr.. McCardy some questions that he
will find it difficult to answer.

MERELY MUTUAL ADMIRAT

Otto Irving Wise was one of New
York's prominent statesmen at the
Cleveland convention. On his return
he told reporter of the Times how
Porter, he of the last census and
now editor of a Cleveland paper, en-
tertained them, and how during the
festivities Gen. Carr, of Illinois, made
speech. In it he made illusions to
Lincoln, Grant and Blaine. Turning
to the subject of organization, Gen.
Carr paid a glowing tribute to those
Napoleons of political mobilization,
Matthew S. Quay, of Pennsylvania,
and Thomas c. Plat, of New York.
Mr.. Wise says at this 1.-The crowd
whooped it up for Quay and Plat
in a way that shook the rafters.
The applause their names received
made that which was given the
names of Lincoln, Grant and Blaine
seem like a period of comparative
silence"
Some of our contemporaries, the
New York Evening Post, for instance,
treat this differing reception of allu-
sions to the statesmen and warrior
of the party and to the bosses as
indicating very low plane of po-
htical morals in the leaguerS They
are shocked that the names and
laudation of these bosses should have
been received with an approving up
roar that made the applause that
greeted the mention of the names of
Lincoln, Grant and Blaine seem
like a period of comparative silence"
1t all depends on the point of OBJ
Servation. If the convention was re-
garded as gathering of states
men, or of intelligent patriots bent
on the consideration of high ques-
tons of state policy, then the com
parative silence" would be indicative
of a decadence of moral and political
standards. But if the gathering is
considered as what it was, a lot of
gentlemen engaged in practical poll
tics, each of them either an
Office holder at present or one
in expectancy, organized to ia
cilitate the further getting of

A GOOD SHOWING.

The financial report of the treas
ury for the fiscal year, while ex-
hibiting a large deficit. makes what
may be called, in another respect, a
good showing. 1t is good in that the
deficit for the year of $43, $50 900 is
less than was expected. The oppo-
sition papers of the country have
been pitching into Secretary Carlisle
for his estimate of a deficit of $45,-
10000 for the year, and have been
predicting that it would run from
$50, 000,0 900 to $50, 900, 0OO That the sec
rotary has not only kept it within
the expected limit, but has reduced
it below that, is a gratifying evil
dence of his command of the situa-
ton and of the great Improvement
in the business of the country.
The whole secret of the lessening
deficit lies in the latter item. The
treasury has suffered from dimin-
ished revenue arising not from any
failure on it's side, but from the
desperate stagnation of business
during the greater part of the last
year. If the last quarter had been
no better than the first three, the
treasury would have been very far
behind. A decisive proof Of this is
seen from the fact that the postal
deficit alone is $1,000, 600, which is
largely in excess of that Of any pre-
vious year in recent times. Nobody
can claim that the receipts of the
postoffice fall off on account of the
Wilson tariff bill or the silver agita-
ton. 1t was only a part of the gen.
eral decline of business in every de-
partment following the panic of 1898,
alton.
Receipts have now begun to pick
up in all directions, and the officials
of the treasury can make a satisfac-
tory forecast for the coming year.
By the time that congress meets, it
will not have any deficit to provide
for; but anticipated revenues, which
will be coming in freely by that
date, will be equal to all proper de-
mands that can be made upon them.
That the treasury should be able to
close one of the most uncertain and
dangerous years of it's experience
with so good a record, and with
| the gold reserve at S107, 000,0 is a
| most satisfactory showing. It has
! been a good thing for the country to
have such an administration Of af-
fairs during the critical two years
now ended. We congratulate the
president and the secretary of the
treasury upon the present outlook
and the country upon the substantial
| proof that it has passed out of the
storm period and into a year OF
sunshine and growth.

in the general stock of the country,
and SO for every dollar estimated
by the treasury to be in circulation.
This means simply that the mechan-
ism of our banking system makes
one dollar do the work of three, and
decreases the need of actual money
two-thirds. It is but an application
to money of the methods applied to
the productive capacity of labor so
many fold.
Compared with any other year
when industrial activity was great
and no one was proclaiming an in
sufficient per capita currency, there
is more money outside the treas
ury now than ever. In 1892, when
the elimination of speculation and
bad legislation was rushing to it's
climax in the panic of the succeed
ing year, the money outside the
treasury was 81, COL 900, 600, and in 1894
it was 81, 691, zoo, coo. We are not say
ing that more money could not be
used, nor is the question of it's pro-
vision now considered. What we are
demonstrating is that, as compared
with other years admittedly prosper
Gus, there is more money in exist
ence now than then. Something else,
then, than paucity of the money sup
ply is the cause of whatever string
ency individuals may feel; and, what
ever the cause, an addition to the
money volume would not help con-
ditfonS. If money refuses to circu-
late, increasing the quantity of
money would simply swell the
amount that would be idle. If a man
is unwilling to invest five thousand
dollars, having twice that amount
will not increase his willingness. We
venture to suggest to the people the
ACCESSIBILITY of looking for them
selves into the causes that produced
stringency, and so acting as to aid in
it's relief instead of allowing them
selves to drift away from sound
Democratic principles by joining a
factlesS and foundationless clamor
for more and cheaper money.

SCARCITY NOT THE CAUSE.

There is not money enough to
transact the business of the coun-
try; not gold enough to pay the
debts" was the poStulate of a Dem
ocrat who is f1oundering among the
sophisms of currency, in his reply
to the question why he, Democrat,
should join the silver protectionists.
1.-The per capita is stated to be $23,
and it is claimed that it is much
less than this He confessed that
he was in a receptive condition, not
fully convinced, and said that he
thought this was the condition of
and for that of others who are like
him, we ask a consideration of some
facts. No Democrat, of course,
would favor a policy that offers to
give one class Of producers hun
dred per cent more than the current
market value of their product unless
sary to avert some great public
calamity or to relieve some great,
widespread distress.
If it is desirable that the business
of the country should be conducted
on cash basis, then there is not
money enough to do it if all the
worlds money was at our command.
The portion of the business that was
settled for through the clearing
houses of the country and transact
ed by the use of checks and drafts
in 1894 was 5,O17 800, 736. This rep
resents payments for goods and
services and debts. The amount of
money Of all kinds in circulation
during that year was estimated by
the treasury officials at 81 ,691, 1913 $50,
or $23.33 per capita, while the ex-
changes made by checks was $685.
per capita. Ninble as money is, it
is apparent that there would not
have been money enough to trans
act all this business on a strictly
cash basis, not to mention the vast
Ieldll cash BUSINESS. Inc TACT tnaC
the trade world has made such a
use Of paper in exchanges shows
that it does not want to use money,
finding the substitutes cheaper and
more convenient.
Nor is there money enough of all
kinds, including gold, to pay all
debts; and, we venture to say, there
never has been nor will there ever
be such a time. 1t is not desirable
that there should be; for if there
were, there would be at all times,
during the maturing of debts, vast
amount Of idle money, condition
that is not only not useful, but is
positively mischievous. Satan finds
something for idle money to do, as
well as for idle hands. An inspec-
ton of the bank statistics shows
this inadequacy. The comptroller
of the currency reports the amount
of deposits in the banks of the coun-
try at $4,620,000, 900, while their cash
amounted to 1858, O0O,O 900. That is.
there was on deposit in the banks

more can it incline leniently to the
defalcation Of public officials. Such
men should suffer the full penalty
set down by the law. If their
friends see fit after to condone their
offense and to give them another
opportunity, that is a beautiful and
Christian charity. But the first step
in reparation of wrong-doing, and
the one which can never be omitted
safely while human nature remains
what it is, is for the culprit to ac-
cept manfully all the consequences
of his acts. To sanction anything
else, or to approve any weakening
of the corrective influence of public
opinion, is to reverse the whole
moral system on which rest the
foundations of society and the state.
