ANOTHER BOND ISSUE.
Steady Drop in the Reserve Points
That Way.

That Way.
The Treasury Department was Informed
yesterday that $3.200,00o In gold had
been Withdrawn at the New York sub
treasury for export today.
Most OF the gold goes 10 Germany. OF
the withdrawn gold S2.SO0.000 was in
bars and 100000 In coin. This reduces
the Treasury gold reserve to $72.SO4.766.
Talk OF another issue of bonds has nat
urally been revived by the heavy with
drawals, but at the Treasury no prepara-
tions for that purpose are in progress. As
Congress has not had time 10 indicate its
intention in the matter, 1t Is proba Bile that
the President will not act at once in the
matter but delay. as long as In his iudg.
ment- such inaction will not cause un.
easiness.
There Is said to be absolutely no doubt
that, should the gold reserve drop below
what is regarded as the point OF confidence.
and In the absence of Congressional action.
either immediate or prospective. the Presi.
dent will direct an issue OF 500 .000. 900 OF
bonds 10 rehabilitate the gold reserve.

KANSAS HORTICULTURE

The twenty-ninth annual meeting Of
the Kansas State Horticultural society
will be held in Lawrence on the 10th
to the 10Th of December, inclusive. The
program is a varied and comprehensive
one, covering not only directly the
production Of fruits Of every variety in
Kansas. but the subjects OF cold stor-
age, markets, irrigation, Kansas winds,
insects, with an address from Professor
Dyche on the horticulture Of Green
land. Some thirty addresses from
prominent specialists Of the state will
be delivered. BY securing, or taking
a receipt from your home station agent
the railroad fare will be one-and-one-
third regular rate. The officers OF the
society say in their invitation, among
other things, that they have labored
hard to make this the largest, best and
most successful meeting the Kansas
State Horticultural society has ever
held. There will be eighteen care
fully-prepared papers by experts In
JHelr line. lIlclull1g lllfct iIOLi ellc ihSui
ty of the State university and three
from the faculty of the Agricultural
college, besides three addresses from
orators that can interest and instruct
an audience; also, discussions on the
Ito horticulturists) vital subjects of ir-
rigation, cold storage, evaporating.
and marketing, by men
who have these interests at heart from
practical experience. Do not think
you cannot get all this in our annual
report. The legislature has limited the
and size of reports. and You
stand in your own light and lose dollars
by not coming to Lawrence and hearing
these points practically discussed. |
Stand by the State Horticultural So
ciety, become members, and use its
influence and knowledge for your own |
benefit. You will find its officers only |
too willing to do all in their power to
build up horticulture in our glorious
Kansas.

LORD DUNRAvEN'S SIDE.

Lord Dunraven. in his speech at Car
diff. which appeared in our dispatches
Of yesterday morning, and in which he
reviewed at length the story Of the late
interpa tional yacht race, talks like a
very fair and frank man. His speech
will be favorably received generally in
America outside Of the yachting club
circles of the Atlantic coast. That he
tells the truth so far as the impress
sion Of the affair had obtained in this
country there is no question, and IL
investigation proves him correct as to
the false water-line Of the Defender
then the charge Of "Yankee trick" will
have to stand against the New York
club. Dunraven having declared his
Willingness to come over and appear
before the club, there is nothing left
for the New York club to do but to
invite him, and not only give him
hearing but proceed with an open and
fair investigation of the charges. The
American cup is desirable trophy to
hold. and every American wishes that
our boats may still prove winners. but
not at the cost of a suspicion of trickery
or unfairneSss. There were many thou
sands of dollars wagered on the result
by the sports Of New York City and
the American public have long since
learned that in tests of speed and
games of chance the so-called American
sportsman degenerates into the mere
unconscionable gambler.

deemed a success. The structural

quirements of the contract But the

demnation Of the Dolphin, and upon

less from structural weakness. and no
committees report however favorable

sided. and having been put into the
dry docks it is found that her weak
ness is beyond cure or remedy. While
the Texas was settling under her own
weight in a cradle carefully built for
her in the Brooklyn navy yard the
great Fall River liner Puritan, built
on American plans at John Roach's
ship yards lay beating upon the rocks
Of Great Gull island, while a tremen-
dous sea pounded her sides for nearly
forty-eight hours before she could be
dragged off. Yet she came out Of her
terrible ordeal less injured than the
disreputable Texas after her careful
docking. and proceeded under her own
steam to the ship yards for repairs |
Iohn Roach is vindicated, but it comes !
too late!

THE OTHER SIDE OF WAR

IF anyone believes that the whole
country is for war he should speedily
be undeceived. Most of the Kansas
papers are rampant on the subject OF
the Monroe doctrine and foreign ag.
gression of all kind, with desire to
annex" everything thrown H. But
! the sentiment which is so intense in
Kansas is not general and it is al
ways best to hear both sides Of any
| controversy.
The New York Post representing the
most conservative thought of New
York City. treats the Monroe doctrine
in This almost sacreligious manner. 1t
saysl France has a boundary dis
pute with Brazil similar to that of
England with Venezuela, and French
publicists are naturally beginning to
discuss what they call ''la doctrine de
Monroe" They know that Monroe
is the great American god Terminus.
who preSides over boundaries. and that
he must especially be placated, when,
as is the case in French Guiana, gold
mines are saidTo exist in the disputed
territory. But we are sorry TO see that
French iuristS do not take Lodges
reverent view of the Monroe doctrine.
One Of them. writing in the Debats. af-
firms that il simply does not exist
from the point of view of international
law. or, rather, il exists only so far as
it agrees with International law, but
is justly ignored when it conflicts there

interesting historic document OF

be sustained" That Is enough. We
may not know what the Monroe doc
trine is, but we will sustain il IN the
teeth OF the world. Wait till congress
produces that joint resolution affirm
ing the Monroe doctrine, which some
OF its leading intellecCS are now fran
