A Big Scheme Failed.

Journal, serves the double purpose OF
amusing the reader while it enlightens
him as to Che way great schemes are
sometimes knocked out BY q little Incl
dent:
"The impudenOe Of q shark threw q
Kansas enterprise into the hands OF
receiver; the painful disappearance Of
an arlstocrstic psrlor pup at q prospeC-
tive bathing beach defeated an slluriDg
scheme, TO all of which there is q his
tory that will interest in many ways.
"Nesrly two years ago, Mr.. II. @,
Speer, now Of New York, but formerly
Of Kansas, launched q scheme. Mr..
Speer was enough to lend confidence to
anything, He had been superintendent
Of instruction in Kansas for four years
and while In this Office he became aC-
quRinted with New York finsnciers, 90
he had to look after bond sales. This
acquaintance he was able to turn into
money and by this means he got up
schemes and cRshed them with little
trouble and made much money. His
Western friends believed that he could
get up nothing that would fall. In fact,
he was a successful promoter and could
start anything from railroad TO trouble,
and at ward meetings always came out
right side up.
"But Mr.. Speer was destined to have
bad luck in one matter. He planned to
run a railroad from Washington across
Maryland to the Chesapeake bay ss q
short line to a bathing beach. The COM
pGny was organized and was known RB
the Washington & Chesapeake Beach
road. It was just an hour to the beach
by this proposed line, and as q result
those taken into the secret believed
millions were in it.
"Mr Spser decided to let in some Of
his Kansas friends and accordingly made
George W. Chase, formerly OF Topeka,
his general attorney. Some other Kan
sans were also admitted. The fret diff.
Guilty was to get out Of Washington. AZ
congress is the town council Of the place,
it was necessary to get pull in that
body to overcome the opposition Of other
roads. This was done. Some Of the
senators and members OF the house were
taken into the scheme to facilitate get
ting IN and out Of the city.
"Then the survey was made and every.
thing was ready to secure the capital.
To get the money to build the road was
decided to be easy; TO get out Of Wash
ington was looked upon as the dangerous
task, but that was accomplished. Then
another difficulty was had in selecting
the beach. It is not easy to get q suit
able place for bathing beach, with the
proper depth Of water; then to make
townsite arrangement with the owner Of
the property adjoining the beach was
another delicate matter that had to be
looked after by way Of getting the whole
scheme ready to cash in for bonds.
Sat last things were ready to exhibit
to New Workers, who were to furnish the
money. A party was made up, and they
proceeded to inspect the new scheme.
When they arrived at the proposed
bathing beach all were unanimous that
it was simply the finest thing discovered
since Columbus landed. The air was
always bracing, and yet suggestive Of q

gle this Republic of churches and

this oracle: "Grover Cleveland
stands almost alone in our Fede-
raj system as the bulwsrk of ho-
nesty in money, of order in go

and of consistency and firmness
in principle" In the picturesque

When the Brooklyn Eagle re-
fers to Mr.. Cleveland's love for
honesty, it doubtless has in mind
his criminal dilatoriness in not
calling together in extra session
to repeal the Silver Purchase act
until he was actually compelled to
do SO, or perhaps it slludes to his
Victoria Hotel compact with Tam
many Hall, to the sale Of the TIA
liam ambassadorship for $4,000
and to the looting of consulships
and post-ofices, When it speaks
of Mr.. Cleveland's love of "order
in government" it probably al
ludes to his inoendiary uttsrances
during the Homestead strike in
1892 and to the invitation to mas
sacre and revolution which he vir-
tually extended to the royalist ad-
venturers and semi-savsges of Hs-
wall. As for Mr.. Cleveland's "con-
sistency and frmness in principle, !"
our Brooklyn contemporary un-
doubtedly refers to his a ,tion in
giving legal effect to party peril
dy and party dishonor" and to the
callous obstinacy with which he
clings to the free trade program

of nauseating nonsense into the
ears of the White House egotist

Why Gold Is Exported.

Why Gold Is Exported.
III be true Europe no longer
sends us large quantities of secur-
tiles, and since the merchandise
balance is very considerable in
our favor, whence comes this un-
settled debt which keeps clamor-
ing for payment in gold, and
which it seems we can liquidate
with nothing else? The explana-
ton is simple enough.
The United States owe to Eur
ope (apart from the ordinary mer-
chandise balances as evidenced by
the Custom House returns) annu-
ally
I. For money spont by American ira
,,i.r. abro.d. about sioo,ooo.ooo

l. For profits of foreign corporations
DOING businessihere. and OF non
residents, derived from real estate
Investments, partnership prohts,
ETC., about i''"o'""
Total Ssso.oOO. 900
These figures have been careful
" gone over and represent very
conservative estimate, 80 that the
actual total is more likely to be
larger than smaller. In order to
pay this vast annual indebtedness
to Europe the balance of trade in
merchandise would have to reach
at least this sum, but it has never
done SO, says Alfred 8. Heidel-
back, in the February Forum.
The merchandise balance (includ-
ing exports OF sllver) In our FAVOR
in 1894 was 1894. OOO, 900, and large
as this was, it still left a very
large amount to be paid for. This
balance could be paid only in Sc
curities or in gold. So long as
European creditors are willing to
take our securities or re-invest
their balances D::American enter
prises, there was no inordidate
call for gold, but as they no long
er seem to wish to take our secur-
tiles 70 any extent nor to take per-
manent investments here, there Is
nothing left but to ask and insist
upon payment in gold.
This leads up to the question:
Why do they not wish our securl-
ties or make investments in our
enterprises? Simply because the
developments in our railroad man
agement have filled wouldbe in
vestors with disgust and anger,
and above all because they are
dismayed at the condition of our
treasury and our currency, and
fear that if they leave or invest
money here, they may not be able
to get back as good money as they
gave. They have no doubt of the
good intentions of the government
to upohld the parity of gold, sill
YER and paper, but they cannot
help doubling its ability, under
the present conditions, so to do.
Thus, fear is one of the main eau
SEES, and this fear will not be dis
sipated until we are on a sound
basis, and no basis is sound that
does not provide for redemption
of all currency in the money OF
the world-gold.-L. c. Echo.
