Their the beginning Of the new year nor the
failure OF the currency bill has brought
any material change to business as yet.
The idea that business would suddenly
take a new start after the holidays had
less foundation even than usual, but the
hope Of strong revival a little later is still
cherished by many. Speculation in pro-
ducts has been more active. Corn has
risen 1k cents, and though receipts are
but little over one-half last years the prac-
teal disappearance of the export demand,
then large, counts for about as much. Lit
tie attention is paid to the Government re-
port that the yield was only 1,2l3, COZ, Zoo
bushels, and the advanced state of wheat,
49,, 267 900 bushels, was treated as equally
unimportant. AS receipts of whea: nave
fallen to ,S05 900 bushels, against l sis, 900
last year, and Atlantic exports have be-
come larger than a year ago, the advance of
~ cents in price is not surprising. Cot
ton is so low that scarcely any reason is
needed for a fractional recovery, bit with
100000 bales already in sight and the
stocks abroad enormous, there is little to
cause such recovery. Failures this week
were 420 in the United States, against 474
last year, and 81 in Canada, against 81 last
year.

by similar action.

There is little new in regard to the defal-

tighten the gloom occasioncd by the revela-
tons. Taylor's bondsmen We're served
with notices that action to recover would
be begun against them, but it is not be-
lieved that rs cents or the dollar could be
recovered from them. The following are

The mail brought a letter to Deputy Bur-
rington containing over 81 900 in certificates
of deposits mailed from New York on Sun
day, and the letter accompanying was
dated On Sunday last, and is without ques-
ton in the handwriting of Mr.. Taylor.
The certificates show deposits at Doland,
Woonsocket and Artesian. The public ex-
aminer is sure that all the state funds were
so. X" at the examination in April last,
and if Taylor was short the shortage has
arisen since. The law only requires one
examination yearly.
There are now two theories, the first that
Taylor has gone to parts unknown with
nearly a clean sweep; the second, and
from present indications the most probable,
that Taylor is in hiding and his friends will
come to his rescue with a proposition that
will make the state nearly whole. There
is good ground for the belief that the state
officials already know where and how Tay-
lor can be located.
1t is now known that the $780, 900 in fund
ing warrants held at Albany, N. Y, are
not paid and the wonder grows why only
last week the $1,000 interest should have
been paid on the warrants in New York
City and the certified checks Of deposit
should be returned.

Time at the North Pole

| wonder if Peary, Wellman and
Others who are seeking the Pole have
ever figured on the amazing para
doxes thorologically speaking which
the time card will exhibit if they ever
succeed in reaching their goal? At
that point, as well RS at the South
Pole, there cannot possibly be such a
thing as fixed time. At n moment
it will be noon or midnight, or any of
the intermediate hours or minutes, ac-
cordiIg TO the direction which the OBJ
server turns his face. Clocks and
watches will be perfectly useless, be-
cause at that point all the degrees of
longitude converge into one, and, in
consequence thereof, the time of all
m~eridians is iumbled together. Cal
endars which tell OF the fight of the
day will be equally as useless as clocks
and watches, because one would but
need 10 turn his body once around to
STE yesterday, to-day and tomorrow.

WESTERN REPUBLIC.
A Californian Wants the Pacific States
to Secede.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, March l.
David B. James has posted the follow
ing proclamation in front of his shop
on Market street, the placard having a
conspicuous red letter heading:
Citizens-read this: Eastern manu-
facturers are starving your industrial
classes and bankrupting our business
men. The crisis cannot be kept up
much longer. Our only relief is a Pa
cifc Republic. We tax certain foreign
goods. Why not protect ourselves
against the East? DAVID B. JAMES.
Mr.. James says he loves his country,
but he believes in the peace of the
West and the establishment of a Re-
public with its own Cabinet and Presi-
dent. He is a California pioneer. He
said:
"We have no chance here without
we establish a separate Republic and
tax the East. 1t can be done without
the firing of a gun, and it will mean
prosperity to the masses. We can
produce everything weneed right here
and the states west of the Rocky
Mountains ought to be centered into
one vast empire. We do not want the
East to interfere with us or legislate
for us, because our interests are wide
ly different. They do not understand
our Chinese or Japanese problems, nor
do they understand many other ques-
tons peculiar to us.
We take out $4,000, 600 of bullion
annually; we produce everything
needed in the entire range of human
consumption and if we ean only escape
from the Eastern importations which
are favored by the railroads, we viii
have prosperous times and work fol
all our idle people as well as for those
unborn. Our only connection with the
East need be in case of war. We could
have offensive and defensive treaties
and there would never be any trouble
between the two sections. 1t would
still be America and freedom"

This is Welcome News.


Nothing has happened lately which
viii send through theD democratic ranks
of the West and South as much pleas
IRE and confidence as the report con-
tanned in the Republics Washington
dispatches this morning to the effect
that Mr.. Bland and Mr.. Bryan have
refused to be beguiled by the siren
song of the projected silver party.
While neither Mr.. Bland nor Mr..
Bryan, nor yet any combination of
leaders, could wreck the Democratic
party by withdrawing, there is no
doubt that the Missouri leader and his
Nebraska lieutenant could make the
election of a Democratic President
and Congress a exceedingly difficult
undertaking next year.
We have never believed that either
of them would leave the party of their
lifelong allegiance: Intense as their
feeling on the silver question has al
ways been, their Judgment has not los
sight of the fact that if silver is re-
monetized, the great work viii be
done by the organized Democracy.
Without Mr.. Bland there can be no
formidable separate silver party.
Among the needless politicians of
smaller caliber there has been profuse
chatter about dividing the Democratic
party of the South and West. We may
now expect leaders like Bland and
Bryan to address themselves to the
suppression of such talk and the in
| vigoration of the Democracy on the
policy of a Western man'and a West
ern PLATFORM man whom all voters
can support and a platform which viii
appeal to the sound sense of all trades
and professions embraced in the
Democratic party.
