HE financial c)nd itlon Of the country
Is in critical stage and it is not at all
improbable that the history of 1898 may
be repeated IN 1870 There is no man in
the country VIII } can say with truth that
he knows just he remedy to be applied
to ease the febriie condition. The situa.
ton is aggravated by the disposition to
act SO as TO secure party advantage.
though there are symptoms of awaken
ing sense. The past has been fruitful of
error IN that the popular fallacy that
contemplated change of the tariff was re-
sponslble for the panic of 1898 was sedu-
lously cultivated for partisan purposes.
The real cause of the disturbance was
thereby concealed and escaped correction.
\ threatened repetition of the disasters
oflS93 has aroused the conscience Of
some people capable Of being statesmen
if they could cease to be politicians, and
there seems evident a purpose to quit
ceaslng the howl of democratic hard
times" and make sn honest investigation
to discover the real cause of the depress.
ion and lack of confidence which has re.
fuse to yield 10 the political revolution
of last fall.
The Pilots knowledge of finance is
acknowledged 10 be infinitesimal and
even that much is theoretical. But
it can, at least, protest against the doc
tors dealing with this delicate matter
solely with a view of reaping party ad-
vantage. If we are not on the eve of a
crisis then the signs of the times are mis-
leading. 1t may be averted 10y wise and
united action wholly divorced from par
tisanshlp. This the people should de
mand in no uncertain tones.

The President has deemed the finan-
clal situation sufficiently serious to JUS
tlfy special message to congress. He
admits the failure of the issuance of
bonds to meet the existing emergency
which is regarded as grave 10 the ex-
IRENE. He expresses the hope that all
partisanship will be set aside in the con-
sheraton of this question and that all
will unite IN an honest effort to improve
conditions.
The President thinks the reissue OF
treasury notes and legal tender notes
after having once been paid, should be
retired, otherwise their power TO deplete
the treasury of gold is perpetuated. His
idea is to issue bonds to be paid IN 90
years, these bonds to be deposited by
national banks as security for the re-
demption of their issue. The proceeds
of these bonds should be used for the
purchase and retirement of legal tender
notes and treasury notes. National banks
should not be allowed to issue any circu-
lating notes less than $40. The use of
silver certificates to supply the need of
the denominations less than $40.
The suggestions of the President ap-
pear practical and sound and provides
for the continuance of currency which
has given excellent satisfaction in the
past. Taking the US. treasury out of the
banking business relieves it of these
periods of financial distress which Is
readily communicated to every form of
business in the country. Silver men Will
insist that the financial troubles are due
to the TACT that gold is the only standard.
But all history shows that two standards
differing IN value can never be maintain
ed. These facts outweigh all speclous
arguments made by silver advocates who
put their faith against the experience of
the world
The legal tender note has served the
purpose of money well. Its evil char.
acterlsuc has not recently come into
prominence. and that is the facility with
which 1t can be employed to drain the
treasury of gold. Holders, in any large
quantities oflegal tender notes. are, when
the redemption fund is decreasing, some.
what like the countryman who was a
deposltor 10 bank on which there was
run. he called for his money and when
II was given him he returned it saying:
w hen no can get him, | want him.
When L can get him 1 no want him."
The legal tender note will exhibit Its ca.
paclty for evil only when that evil can
be made operative in etfecting disaster.
Our financial system will be better with
out this constant menace.

EX-TREAsURERS Baetz and koehn have
petltloned the legislature to be released
from the judgments secured against
them for interest on state moneys. The
Judgment against Mr.. kuehn is SOS, 093;
against Baetz, S75, 200. The salary during
the sine they served was s1,400 per an
mum. During the panic of 1873 there was
lost by the collapse Of Chicago bank
the sum of $4,000 which Mr.. Baetz
made good. While they were treasurers
the law requiring treasurers to cover IN
to The treasury the accretions of the state
funds had not been passed. Both men
evidently believe the decision of the
supreme court will be adverse to them
and hence are impelled to seek relief
from the legislature.
If the legislature will act in a spirit of
fairness with these men it will remit the
Judgments against them, The people do
not care, nor Will they show a particle OF
gratitude toward the parties interested
IN recovering this money. 1t must be
paid by the bondsmen who thought they
were guaranteeing the state against
harm by the loss Of any portion of the
moneys which come into the hands of
the treasurer from the regular sources
of income which the state had. The
salary paid these men was niggardly in
the extreme for the responsibility of such
a position, and it was we'll understood
the interest on the funds for which the
state made no provision for investment
should be their compensation.

The Nicaragua canal scheme received
quite an impetus on Saturday last when
the senate voted the issuance of 100000.
600 bonds, S70,000,0O0 of which are to be
guaranteed by the government. The ma,
jority favoring the issue was larger than
would have been expected from the past
policy of the government with reference
to becoming sponsor for improvements
outside its Jurisdiction. The difficulty
with all such undertakings is the oppor,
tunity given for corruption and which is
invariably improved.

entirely without reason. There is no

DR.. SHOOP ON THE
NERVES.
Bromides and Sedatives: their
effect on the nerves, and why
they are pr eSorlbe4.
One or two Facts
about nerves and
Sickness.
HOW TO WARD OFF AN AT
TACK OF SICK NESS.

DR.. Shoop is an eminent specialist on the
nervous system. He has studied them for
many years. The one he has given special
attention tots the one that Is generally least
studied: the sympathetic nervous system.
Many people think there Is only one nerv-
Gus system. They are wrong. There ale
two.
The one that is most important is the one
least known ABOUT, viz: the sympathetic.
The sympathetic nervous system is 4 col
lection of nerves which run down from the
brain and sends branches 10 all the principal
internal organs. 1t is in close sympathy
| with these organs, and when it goes wrong
| these organs go wrong. and you become
sick.
Thed;seases we hear so much about, Of the
stomach liver, kidneys, etc.. all owe their
| origin TO a arrangement of the sympathetic
| nervous system.
Nervous patients are often advised to take
| bromo preparations, nervines etc. These
have their effect. They soothe pain and dis
comfort, but they do not cure the cause.
! The relief is only for a time. They are dan
| gerous drugs.
Besides, they have no effect at all on the
sympathetic nerves. They do not even &c
| lleve much less cure them.
The first thing to learn when something is
wrong, is the caHSs, and then to remove it.
When you are sick, remember the cause.
The sympathetic nerves. Cure them and YOU
| will be well, permanently well.
DR.. Shoop's well known Restorative acts
directly on these nerves, and will cure them.
This remedy contains no bromide or other
| Sedatives. 1t is not nervine. 1t is vtalizer
or restorative of the sympathetic nerves.
The relief given IS not always instantaneous
but gradual and sure. Therefore so much
the more lasting. When the cure does come
II IS permanent.
As the internal organs are all controlled by
the sympathetic nerves, 50 when these or
gans are sick we may be sure the sympathetic
nerves are the cause Oft.
The reason that DR.. Shops Restorative
has been so wonderfully successful, is that il
Is the only medicine that effects particularly
the sympathetic nerves. The only one which
cures, not symptoms alone, but causes.
To ward off an attack of sickness is muct
easier than to cure. When you begin to fee
sick, take few doses Of DR.. ShoOp's Restor
alive 1t viii prevent disease and save ex
pense.
This will tone up the sympathetic nerves
1t will give them new life and impulse tC
work right, it will tide them past the danger
Gus point where sickness begins and perfec
health ends. 1t will help throw off whatever
is causing the trouble
DR.. Shoop's Restorative will cure sickness
in any ofthe internal organs. Itstrengthens

The decision of Judge Gaynor IN issu-
ing a writ commanding the Brooklyn
Heights Railway Co. to resume opera
tons Is one that car not fail to commend
itself. He holds that the railway corpora
tons have public duty which takes pre-
cedence of their private duty to stock
holders. That they are entitled to pro-
lection against violence IN operating
their lines but that the lines must give
az good service as they did while having
their old employees. Here is solution
of the whole question. II the strikers
will act peaceably it will soon be demon
strated that good service with green
hands is impossible and the re-instate-
ment of the old employees with many con-
cessions made them will follow. But
when wires are cut and depots burned,
the travelling public attribute the poor
service more to r1otous disturbance than
to the employ ment of inefficient help.

DRY AND UNINTERESTING.
DraughtsmeD Occupy the Day in the
Durant Trial.

San Francisco, September 5.-The
trial of Theodore Durrant was dry and
uninteresting. All the morning and
most of the afternoon session were de-
voted to a description Of the diagram
of Emanuel Church introduced as eX-
hibits by both sides. Both prosecution
and defense had had drawings OF the
interior of the church made to show the
exact spot where Blanche Lamont was
murdered. Each attorney wished his
drawing only to be introduced and the
greater part of the day was spent in
wrangling over their respective merits.
The only witnesses examined were the
draughtsmen who prepared the dia-
grams.
Detective Gibson had been told by
the district attorney that he would be
called at the commencement of the af-
ternoOn session, but when that arrived
the draughtsmen for the defense was
recalled and minutely examined as to
the diagram. AS the taking of testi-
mOny proceeds interest in the trial con-
tinues. People seem hungry for details
and even unimpOrtant statements by
witnesses are eagerly listened to by
those fortunate enough to obtain ad-
mission to the court room. To prevent
a repetition of the struggling of yester-
days crowd around the entrance Of the
court room, the chief Of police arranged
to-day to have a double line OF police
men extending down the length of the
corridors, who permitted only those to
pass who had been at the trial.

the first break below the $l00,0OO,OoO
mark since June %. It's lowest point
was $41, ,34O,1S1 on February 13. it first
exceeded the limit after the syndicate
contract was made on June &c, when it
touched $10O,S30,357 The reserve
reached its highest point, $107, 81, ,23O
this year on July TO- OF course the
daily treasury statement reflects con-
ditions which prevailed two days ago,
so actually the reserve owing to tho
weeks deposit of syndicate gold, is
now above the $1OO,OOO000 limit, to-
days figures really applying to the
state of the treasury on Tuesday.
