JONES ON FINANCE.
He Thinks Financial Legislation Pos
sible this Session.

sible this Session,
WASHINGTON, Jan, 8,-There has
been more financial talk about the
Senate today than at any time dur
ing the session. 1t has been stirred
up great deal by the recent publ
cations in the newspapers OF various
schemes Of currency reform and the
near approach to a vote in the
House on the pending bill, Sena-
tors who have predicted rather
freely heretofore that there would
be no currency legislation, talked
in more favorable way today and
limited at a possibility that some
thing might be done, though they
did not know just how or what,
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, a
member of the finance committee,
was asked if he was not of the opin-
ion that there was no possibility of
currency legislation.
POSSIBLY, he answered. "Well,
now, | will say this, that it is my
view that there is no probability of
legislation. 1t is possible, however,
that conditions may arise which
will bring good many diverse views
together on common grounds, and
that legislation without political
or personal advantages, purely
patriotic in its nature, might be
enacted. l do not think this is
probable For my own part l would
sacrifice great deal to get on
that common ground,
Gwen to the acceptance of a
bond issue?"
eyes, even to a bond issue"
What else would be necessaryW
I'VE would have to do something
for silver We could not legislate
on the currency question without
doing something for silver"
"Do you consider the necessity
great for currency legislation2"
"Most emphatically The condi-
tion of affairs may induce the SEN
ate to do something; may induce
the House to accept something that
will tide the country over
Senator Jones said this feeling
was shared by many other Senators,
1t is such sentiments as these
which have been freely expressed
today, that has given an indication
or inclination toward some financial
legislation as it seems possible
The Eastern as well as Western
men have talked in this strain to-
day and it is thought that possibly
it might be done '
Secretary Carlisle today remained
in Speaker Crisp's private office
throughout the afternoon and saw
those most active in support OF the
currency bin, No effort was made
to conceal from him the doubt the
House managers had as to the pas
sage Of the bill,
Mr.. Carlisle was apparently as
hopeful as ever, however and ex'
pressed the belief that the bill
would pass, Messrs, Ball, Of Mis-
souri, and other active supporters
of the bill pointed out to the secre-
tary the probable tactics of the
combined opposition, This was the
first attempt to defeat the rule

He has been out of college 10 years, has
Theodore Roosevelt. and he is "a. but he has
been a member of Assembly three years, has
written half dozen books Of value, and no
end of maya zine articles; knows about hunt

tried 1t, and has been a civil service COM

certainly he can punch anybody who tries to
punch a friend of his or make trouble for any
cause that he is friendly TO. Notice that he Is
president of the New York police commission,
and bear in mind that where Roosevelt sits
there is the head Of the table-not that he
cares especially to have it that way, but be-
cause things seem to DO that way from force
of circumstances. The hope Of this nation,
which is great and grand, IL these British

DRY GOODS IMPROVEMENT.

The Dry Goods Economist, leading
representative of the tremendous trade
interests grouped under the title of dry
goods. has been making inquiries Of
merchants all over the country as to the
state OF trade, in accordance with the
following circular inquiries:
J. Do you regard the present signs of COM
mercial prosperity as a trustworthy indica-
ton OF permanent Improvement
z DO you anticipate higher prices2
DO you think that any advance In raw
materials is likely 20 affect the prices of fab.
rics this coming season.
Has the recently manifested upward ten
dency OF prices had any noticeable effect on
the volume Of yGur current and advance
sales?
D. DO you believe that prices will event
ualiy adjust themselves TO a basis approaching
that OF ol and '9e. or will they remain nearer
the present low scale2
D. What do you hear from your customers
regarding Industrial conditions
T. Whats your impression regarding con
dition of stocks in the hands OF ofretaiersY
8. What do you think of the outlook for
fall business.
The responses to these questions from
East, West, North and South were gener-
ally encouraging. According to The
Economists summary, nearly 90 per
cent. OF the firms responding looked
forward TO a certain and fairly rapid
return to permanent prosperity and con-
sidered that the present indications point
directly that way. A number, about 90
per cent, expect 70 reach a season in the
irsmediate future Of better prices. but
only very few expect any restoration
OF the prices Of goods and
OF labor Of three years ago. AS
to question No. 8, for example,
81 per cent. look for steady condition
OF low rates practically as at present.
The consensus Of opinion, however, is
fairly encouraging, although there can
be no permanent relief until the silver
agitation has run it's course. and we
have replaced bastard free trade policy
and deficit by protection and surplus:
No trade or industry reaches so closely
to the masses Of the people as the dry
goods business, while at the same time
keeping In touch with our tremendous
import and domestic trade in large
way. Itis hopeful sign that the dry
goods men are feeling pretty well.

How They Do 1t.
New York Tribune.

Some one with nothing else TO do has in
vestigated the way in which 100 Lien in fiction
are represented as proposing Seventy two
hold the lady's hand, IL hold it very tightly.
IA have Jumps In their throat. and nine ex.
claim aloud: "Thank heavensi' Only seven
out of 100 declare themselves to DO deliriously
happy, and five are too full for utterance.
Three out Of 100 stand on their feet when
they make proposal. and two go down on
one knee, while nine make formal prelude
something like the slow music In the play,
when the villain appeals TO heaven to witness
the consuming flame of his affections for the
heart he plots to ruin, etc. The behavior OF
the lady under the circumstances is equally
entertaining and instructive. Out of 100 cases,
81 sink into the arms Of the gentleman, 6S
rest their heads on the gentleman's breast,
and only one sinks into the arms Of O chair /;
II clasp their arms around the gentleman's
neck, six weep tears of Joy silently, and ~
weep tears aloud-whatever that means; az
have eyes full Of love and nine out of 100 rush
from the room and tell everybody. Only four
are greatly surprised, and 81 out of 100 knew
that something was coming. Five giggle hys-
torically. and one even sneezes. Only one OF
100 struggles not to be kissed, while six kiss
gentlemen first.

Casey at the Bat.

There was ease in Casey's manner as be
stepped into his place,
There was pride in Casey's bearing and q
smile on Casey's face;
And when responding 10 the cheers he ligh tly
doffed his hat.
No stranger in the crowd could doubt twas
Casey at the bat.
Ten thousand eyes were on him as he rubbed
his hands with dirt,
Five thousand tongues applauded when he
wiped them on his shirt;
Then when the writhing pitcher ground the
ball into his hip
Defiance glanced in Casey's eye, a sneer curled
Casey's lip.
And now the leather-covered sphere came
hurtling through the air,
An Casey stood a-watching it in naughty
grandeur there;
Close by the sturdy batsman the ball unheed ed
sped;
THAT amt my style" said Casey. Strike
one" the umpire said.
From the benches, black with people, there
went up mufiled roar,
Like the beating of storm waves on the stern
and distant shore:
XIII him! XIII the umpire!" shouted some
And it's likely they'd have killed him had not
Casey raised his hand.
With n smile OF Christian charity great
Casey's visage shone;
estilled the rising tumult, he made the game
goon
Ho signalled 10 the pitcher, and onco more the
spheroid flew,
But Casey still ignored Il, and the umpire said
strike two"
Fraud !" cried the maddened thousands.
and the echo answered "Fraudr'
But one scornful look from Casey and the au-
dience was awed
They saw his face grow stern and cold, they
saw his muscles strain.
And they knew that Casey wouldn't let the
ball go by again.
The sneer is gone from Casey's lips. his teeth
are clenched In hate.
He pounds with cruel vengeance his bat upon
the plate:
And now the pitcher holds the ball and now
he lets II 60.
And now the air is shattered by the force Of
Casey's blow.
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun Is
shining bright.
The band Is playing somewhere. and some
where hearts are light:
And somewhere men are laughing, and some
where children shout,
But there Is no Joy In Boston: mighty Casey
has struck out.

idence. where it ought to be placed. Ii
recognizes the right and the capacity OF
the city government 10 take care OF the
city's interests. 1t releases the whole
matter to the city, where it belongs.
1t rests on the principle OF
local self-government and home rule,
following the precedent that has ever
been fairly well maintained in tbe rela-
tions that exist between the general and
the local governments. If the city gov
ernment, under this or any other similar
act. does not properly conserve the inter-
ests of the people, the citizens may take
care of the matter at the polls, in mu-
nicipal election, without carrying their
local grievances into the bigger field OF
being compelled to try to make the
whole State interest itself in what is
only matter of local concern. To be
sure, this act, too, may be repealed by
subsequent Assembly, but contracts
made under 10, prior to its repeal, will
stand and be worth something. Aud,
believing that the principle involved
will ever maintain, we don't believe
any Assembly, of whatever kind of pol
itics it's majority may be, will meddle
with an affair of the city unless the
latter asks for assistance Of this sort.
Aud that is all there is to this much
talked about act.

An Awful Coffin.
New York Tribune.

One Of the strangest collins ever told of Is
that for which the British war department is
said to DO responsible The story Is that q
workman engaged in casting metal for the
manufacture Of ordnance at the Woolwioh
Arsenal lost his balance and fell into a caid-
ron, containing 12 tons Of molten steel. The
metal was at white heat, and the man was ut.
terly consumed In less time than 1t takes to
tell of it, The war department authorities
held conference and decided not to profane
the dead by using the metal in the manufac-
ture Of ordnance. and that mass Of metal was
actually buried. and Church Of England
clergyman read the service for the dead
apar it.

WHAT SORT OF A WAR!

| II is reported that MARTI, the Cuban
leader is dead, and that GOMEZ i:
wounded.
The story of the latest battle is curious,
but in a measure plausible.
As a curiosity, here were 700 insur-
gents and probably as many or more
Spanish troops engaged in what is de-
| scribed as "severe" fight that lasted
an hour and half. And yet this "se-
we're" and long battle resulted in the
killing Of only IA insurgents and as
many wounded, and 12 casualties all
told among the Spanish troops. Then
the insurgents, who had stood their
ground so long, retreated.
This certainly has an opera-bouffe look
and the only thing that makes it plausible
is the statement that the insurgent
leaders were among the slain or wounded,
casualty of this character in a
measure explaining the withdrawal of
the insurgents after their long fight
although it does not make credible the
report of the severity of the encounter.
1t must have been long range, or
skirmish, sort of a battle, after all; and
it is strange that in the small list of cas-
ualties, the leaders should have been
picked off.
Another fight at about the same time
is reported to have lasted "several
hours" but the only casualty reported is
the wounding of Spanish colonel.
We don't see any reason to believe the
stories of these contests, although they
are confirmed from Madrid" We
take it that the small list of casual
ties indicates that the insurgents,
finding themselves outnumbered,
did not engage in any battle
at all, but kept away and avoided open
battle. We don't see any reason to be-
lieve that MARTI is dead or that GOMEZ
is even wounded. We doubt if old
OF their stamp would so
expose themselves in a battle of this
character. The report magaifies the
tulLk VI
this story of the death or wounding of
the leaders, while the figures of the
loss In this Severe battle are ridicu-
ously small.
IL is the habit of the Spanish Indian
blood to fight in two ways: first, in a
guerilla fashion, after the Indian idea;
Ind, second, il driven or tempted into
,pen battle, to make it desperate |
conflict. And the latter
tyle of engagement is SO popular
Imong our fellow-citizens to the

ween Los Riosy Bias and Romangana-

las yet lost its leaders, though, of
curse, that is not impossible.
Meanwhile General CAMPos is dailv
eported as ''going East" or "taking a
teamer to the West" and the Spanish
ews bureau in Cuba is doing most Of
he fighting, we guess.
