Senator Vest IS kept busy these days
writing letters to the members Of the
Merchants Exchange Of ST. Louis. il
win be remembered that few DAYS ago.
IN a speech in the Senate. he declared
in response 10 a resolution Of the Mer-
chants Exchange. ~ that city. asking
HIM 20 act in financial matters in accord
ance with she Presidents recommenIa-
tons. that the members Of the exchange
knew nothing Of finance and did not
represent the intelligence OF Missouri
Since the senator made that speech.
which was Tor the benefit of his ba k
woods constituents. he has been the re-
ciDient Of numerous letters from MEM
bers Of the exchange. asking him If
tICy are 10 be denounced as icnoramuses
and financial mountebanks for the pur-
pose Of making him appear a financial
giant in the eyes OF his rural eonstit-
uency. he has got TO reply TO those
letters and he Is trying IS best 10 DO il
without losing his hold upon mis- Coun-
try followers, and at the same time
retaining his grip upon his ST. Louis sup
porters. How well ne Will succeed IS yet
to be determined. There Is a prominent
and brainy democrat in St. Louis, Ex-
Gov u. r. Francis. who knows more
about financial matters in one hour than
Senator Vest Is likely to know II he lives
q century. and he is anxious to succeed
the senator. He Is likely to have a
solid st. Louis backing for the place.
Hence Senator Vest is humping himself
to get out OF the hole into which hts
demagogism got him. If he shouldn't
succeed. and should be dismissed from
public life to keep company with Silver
Dollar Bland. there would be no great
amount Of grief either in Missouri or
elsewhere.
He apologies. Of course, for calling
the ST. Louis merchants ignoramuses. but
his apology IS not likely to restore him to
the good graces of the men who have
helped to keep him in the Senate They
may accept his apology. but they will
hardly work for his return to the Senate.
His effort to define his position win
hardly prove to be satisfactory.

The question is being asked whether the
gold will be drawn out OF the treasury
again as It was after the last lot Of
bonds was sold. The leaders Of the syndi-
cate that is to take the new bonds be-
Iieve the gold will remain in the treasury.
There will be no reason for drawing It
out except to hoard II, and It is hardly
probable any one would care to board Il
unless there was a good prospect of its
going to a premium.
one Of the reasons why the last lot Of
gold that was obtained left the treasury
was that the expenditures exceeded the
revenues of the government. The opinion
of the Secretary Of the Treasury is that
the revenues are now equal to the de-
mands Of the government, and will even
produce surplus by the end of this cal
endar year.
The financial outlook is, therefore.
brighter than it was few weeks ago.
and will be brighter still II congress does
what it ought to do. namely, authorize
the issue Of 9 per cent. gold bonds for the
gold which the treasury needs.

The census bureau has completed the
compilation of statistics concerning farms,
homes and mortgages in the United States.
and the completed work is published in
the form of extra census bulletin No 9S
There is nothing in the bulletin regard
ing Georgia or the south that has not
been heretofore published; nevertheless,
the completion OF the work makes posi-
BILE some interesting comparisons between
certain sections OF country. The most
striking comparison offered, probably, is
between the south and any other part Of
the country in the matter of farm owner
ship. Only a little more than quarter
of a century ago the south was devastated
by war. Yet at present the south's farms
are nearer free from incumbrance than
those OF any other section. The average
of farms and homes mortgaged for the
country is 2S97 per cent. The percentage
In Indiana is 1912, in Kansas 554S in
Iowa 1910, in rIichigan 1889, in New Jer-
sey 45.42. The percentage in Georgia is
only BIS, in Tennessee 3.S7, In Florida 3.6S,
in Alabama S.ss ana in Louisiana S.9i.
The New York Advertiser kicks loose
from the jingoists, on the matter of the
Hawaiian court martial condemning three
American citizens to death and exiting
three others without trial 1t saws:
Nothing can be palmer. now thar the sto-
ries of the three American citizens who
have arrived from Honolulu have been
told than that Secretary Gresham made
absolutely no mistake in demanding, in
stead of requesting, delay in executing the
death sentence upon our other compatriots
in Hawaii. The three exiles have been
treated in manner that makes the blood
of every respectable American boil with
indignation" For republican newspa-
per to admit that Secretary Gresham is
correct, in even one instance. is a tribute
TO the administration that was unexpected.

The tingolsts who have been savagely
Jumping on the President for his Hawaiian
policy are likely to have their hands full
for sometimes 10 come apologizing for the
acts Of the Dole government. The mem
bers of that government are not showing
themselves to be the pure patriots with
high purposes which their lingo friends In
this country pretend they are. As a mat
ter of fact their government is not a re-
publican government at all. 1t does not
represent the people OF Hawaii. 1t rep
resents only part of the people of Hon
oluu, and is an oligarchy. 1t is far more
despotic than the government which It
succeeded. The Hawaiians don't want it
and they are not going to submit to it If
they can help doing so. 1t would never
have had any existence if the American
minister. Mr.. Stevens, had not given it
his support. Time will vindicate the course
that President Cleveland has pursued in
respect to Hawaii, and some of the men
and newspapers that have been trying to
besmirch him on account of his Hawaiian
policy will yet be forced to admit that he
was right in what ne did.
If the story Of J. Cranston, the Amer
lean citizen who was deported without
trial proves to be true. the Dole govern
ment will have heavy bill of damages to
pay. 1t is carrying things with a pretty
high hand when it undertakes to punish
American citizens without trial and to do
other things that the most' irresponsible
and despotic government would hardly
venture to do. The time has come for the
Hawaiian contingent in congress to go
slow.

The Landsberg Case.

In our Atlanta dispatches yesterday.
giving an account of the application to
the governor for the pardon Of James
Landsberg. il was stated that one of the
erounds set forth in the application for
pardon is that his conviction was due
to the feeling worked up against him by
the newspapers.
We are not prepared to speak for other
newspapers. but we are sure that there
was no effort made by the Morning News
TO work up feeling against Landsberg.
The facts connected with the crime were
published after It became known that a
crime had been committed, and the pro-
ceedings OF the trial were also published.
The case was dealt with just as any
similar case would be. To say that his con-
viction was due TO the newspapers Is a
gross reflection upon the judge who sat
in the case and the jurymen who rem
dered the verdict. The judge and jury
were satisfied of the guilt of the accused,
or there would have been different YER
dict. Landsberg was fortunate in being
a. white man. Had he been black one
the chances are that he would not have
had the benefit of a jury trial. On less
evidence black men have been lynched.
We do not now intend to offer an opin-
ion as 10 whether Landsberg is guilty or
not. That is a matter that has been dis
posed Of. The question now is whether
he is entitled to a pardon-has he been
sufficiently punished. assuming that the
finding of the jury was correct? 1t is
probable that the governor win come to
the conclusion that he has. for the rea-
son that there are some circumstances
connected with the case which would jus
tify the exercise of clemency by the par
donIng power, Those circumstances are
well known to those who are familiar with
all the phases of the case.
Possibly our Atlanta correspondent was
misinformed as to the charge made against
the newspapers in the application for
pardon If he was not, then we state
again that the charge is not well founded
as to the Morning News. That it is not is
shown by the fact that the man who
wrote the account of Landsberg's crime
and reported his trial for the Morning
News is understood to be one of the most
active among those who are now trying
to have Landsberg pardoned, he having
, been at the time the crime was COM
mitted a reporter.
