is WISE AND STATESMANL|KE.
The "Statist" Discusses Cleve-
lands Message.
Serious Results Feared If Congress
Does Not Act.
LonGon's Financial Paper Says There
Must be Contraction Of Our
renoy.

LoxDoN, Feb. 1.-The Statist will say tomor-
row President Cleveland's message appears to
be wise and statesmanlike. AS the law stands
it is quite clear that a large sum should be
borrowed in Europe, as there is doubt re-
specting the presidents ability to contract to
pay in gold. This would be fatal to any pro-
jected loan. Money can ALWAYS be had at a
price, but the government of the United states
cannot act as if it was bankrupt. Its credit
would stand as high as that of any country in
the world ii congress would only do its duty.
If the present congress does not act 1t is
greatly feared that it will be too late to appeal
to the new congress, as before 1t can be
called together crisis will probably
have occurred. 1t is questionable whether.
under the existing circumstances. the presi-
dent can even borrow at home The banks, in
order to avert a panic. may furnish him with
gold, but even then it is questionable whether,
when doubt EXISTS respecting payment in
gold, enough can be got. In any case mere
borrowing will not avail, as the experience OF
the past year shows that sooner or later there
must be contraction of the currency or there
will be panic.
Summing up the review OF the financial pos
sibilities the Statist represents the west and
south as being perfectly right in the view that
change OF the present system wou benefit
their sections of the uuion. The effect of the
change they advocate would be a tendency to
transfer property by wholesale from The east
and Europe to the west and south. In fact. 1t
would be form OF reputation and it would
lower the credit of the United States and pre-
vent the free influx of European capital In
futu e. probably, European capitalists will
always insist upon the gold clause-they will
require clear contract that they will be re-
paid in gold.

JAPAN Is RICH.
Living is Chesp and sho Has a Surplus
EvAry Year.

Living Is CheBp and sho Has Surplus
Ev~ry Year.
There is a general belief that Japan is poor
country: that long war would exhaust her
more than many other countries-China Tor
example. Probably the idea originated in the
extreme lowness OF prices in Japan, but that
is no criterion. Living is cheaper in London
than in Hong Kong but nobody calls London
poorer place on that account. AS matter
OF fact says the London Times, Japan is now
rapidly becoming self-supplying and therefore
need have little fear OF exhaustion, She has
money enough for all requirements; her taxa
ton is very light. yet her revenue leaves
surplus over expenditure every year; her i'm
ports about balance her exports, and both are
increasing yearly, and are not suffering in the
least from the war When the accumulated
surplus about 40,O00O0o yen) had all been
voted away in war expenses war loan of So
100000 yen and now another of 10000, 600
yenahave been readily raised without causing
apteciable dislocation. Government bonds
were about per cent premium in the begin
ming OF the year, when there was distinct
boom in the MARKET now, when the war has
gone on three months, the surplus has been
spent, and tae loans been raised, they are still
at per cent premium, with upward ten-
dency. The country is not poor in any sense
of the word. The land, though of hardly larger
extent than England and in some parts too
mou infamous for cultivation, supports popu-
lGtion of 40, 900, 900, and produces q rice crop
which is ually larger than the whole grain
crop of Russia.

Our Debt to Europe.

''Is it true, asked great thinker,
"that England alone holds SO, 500, 900, :
900 of United States securities, bearing

ments Of London statisticians. The SEQ
rotary of the treasury says there is no
public record in this country showing
the amount of foreign investments.
We must therefore go to Europe to
learn not only how much we are in
debt to Great Britain, but that at least
$500, 900, 900 additional Of United
States investments are held in France

YOUNG WOMAN, BEWARE.
Be Sure You Can Support n Man Before
Marrying Him.

Marrying Him.
Breach Of promise suits brought by
men against women are becoming COM
mon. Evidently the emanoipated wom-
an is not doing her duty by her weaker
and less capable brother. She wins his
affections and then casts him off on
cold world without any visible means
Of support. 1t is not uncommon for
women to be rich in their own right
nowadays. Many women earn fine in
comes. These self supporting women
have not yet developed, along with 9th
er things masculine, the old, fine, man.
ly sense of responsibility toward the
loving and dependent. Will woman be
in all respects the equal of man until
she learns this lessonP
In the good time coming a young wom-
an will consider it dishonorable to enter
into matrimonial engagement with a
young man whom she has not the ability
to support. Some of the half emancipat-
ed girls are so thoughtless. They lure a
youth on to propose, we'll knowing that
their salaries are barely sufficient to
crafty their own feminine fancies. Or
even heiresses will wed poor young
man, only to grow tired of him present
ly, when his charms begin to fade.
Then he is divorced and forced to re-
turn to the ribbon counter and work for
living.
They manage those things better on
the continent There the custom allows
poor but honest prince to compel the
American millionairess to settle suit
able marriage portion on him before he
consents to accept her hand. Our own
men can make a similar custom here if
they will be equally firm. They owe it
to themselves to do so. Young love is
very beautiful, no doubt, but no true
woman will think of marrying until she
is ablo to support husband. Buffalo

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. lit has been discov-

formation became known through Rev. NJ. v.
Donaldson, superintendent, of st. Paups mis-
sion church OF this city. The doctrine taught
at st. Paul's consists mainly in the belief that
the millennium is near at hand. No definite
date is agreed upon for its arrival, but some
where in the year 1898 seems to be the favor
lite.
According to Rev. Donaldson, Mr.. Hunting
ton subscribes to this belief, and Tor the past
10 years has given sums ranging from $500 to
300 for the benefit of the church. He has
written many letters himself warmly COM
mending the work of the church, which the
pastor shows with much pride.

MUSIC AND SNAKES.



Water Reptiles Become Demonstrative ut
the Sound of an Instrument.
Noises of every kind have peculiar
attraction for water snakes, and Incl
dentally it may be stated that water
moccasins of me Dismal swamp region
are nearly or quite as deadly in their
bite as the land family of moccasins. If
a pistol be fired two or three times over
a pond, creek or any still body of water,
the reptiles will suddenly appear from
every quarter, seeming to be evolved
out Of thin air, SO rapid is their COM
ing, and they swim about for several
moments III great agitation. Sometimes
their numbers will swell to several
hundred, and it is believed by the ma
especially dangerous. The same result
is attained if any musical instrument
be played along shore or in boat, ex-
cept that the reptiles are less demon
strative, remaining nearly still upon
the surface or hanging around upon
bushes that overlap the waters edge.
The multitude of snakes to be seen in
certain localities is SO great that verify
no man can number them. This is es-
pecially true after heavy rains, when
the swamps are overlooked, and they
are driven to the higher places. Re-
moved from their regular haunts, they
appear to be gregarious, budding and
crowding together, sluggish and indif-
ferent to every thing, as though utterly
overcome of inconsistencies. Yet they are
easily aroused and excited at the ap-
proach of man, when, seemingly in
spired of courage through numbers
they decline to get out of his path and
will show fight if he attempts to mo-
lest them. Chicago Tribune.
