Judge Forman, of Illinois, the chief
boltcr and kicker in that state against
the Democratic ticket, and candidate
for Governor against Altgeld on the
ticket of the gold Democrats, received
his appointment Monday afternoon as
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Secretary Carlisle returned from the
horse show in New York Saturday
night, and Monday morning Judge
Forman had conference with the Sec
rotary about the place. His conference
was eminently satisfactory. and Mr..
Forman evidently decided to obey the
mandates OF the President and swing
the AK with vigorous hand, for when
it was over he stated that he had con-
cluded to accept the position.
In company with that other Illinois
hotter. Comptroller Eckels, Judge For
man then called upon the President, and
few minutes later the appointment
was announced. Commissioner Miller
will conclude his annual report within
the week, and Judge Forman will as
sumo the duties of his office on the 18th
of the month.

THE CUBAN CRISIS.

There are many indicators of the close
approach of a crisis in the affairs of Cuba.
For two years the Spanish military opera
tions in the island have failed dismally.
Not only is the revolt of the Cuban patriot
maintained as its highest pitch. but the
Government and people of Spain are tire
of the awful drain of blood and waste Of
treasure that have come out of the con-
flict The Castilian kingdom is bankrupt
and cannot much longer stand the expense
of a war which promotes no result but
humiliation. The whole world is fast
getting to the conclusion that freedom is
the destiny of Cuba. Spain if maxim g
what appears to be a last desperate effort
Captain General Weyler has taken the
field in person, in command of the Spanish
forces on the island; and it seems to have
been expected that this act would strike
terror to the hearts of the insurgents 1t
has been accompanied by good deal of
melodramatic display. There have been
already cooked-up stories about personal
bravery on the Fart of Weyler, and solici-
tude upon the part of his friends on account
of his exposure to danger. Weyler is
said to have replied that the bullet was
not cast that would kill him. 1t is only
stOry-book soldiers who talk that way
Cuban bullets are no respecters of persons
among their enemies. but Weyler will
probably avoid being shot by keeping out
of harms way
The Cubans have CALAMITY held their
own and Spain has been losing ground

RETURN OF PROSPERITY.

If the republican party honorably pays
a hundred cents to the dollar upon the
promises of its recent campaign it will put
this country upon the sure road to many
wears of peace and plenty. If it fails to
perform the high duty now intrusted to it
the country will suffer and no similar mis-
take will he made four years hence. The
average free silver voter was honest in
purpose. whatever his leaders may have
been The great farming vote of the
country for instance, feels keenly that it
is not receiving the banking accommodation
and facilities commensurate with its real
credit and property and unless this ques-
ton is better adj listed in a partisan
way, the settlement of our real trouble has
only been postponed
There is plenty of money, but the facili-
ties for getting it out are too restricted
and inelastic under our present banking
system. In time, of plenty it piles up in
bank vaults for want of customers: in
times of adversely it piles up in bank
vaults and in old stockings for want of
confidence.
Wetherefore caution our readers against
undue disappointment if there is not res
toration of immediate prosperity. The
election has undoubtedly contributed to it
and has fastened it because primarily it
has eliminated the disastrous uncertainty
of our business and financial conditions
But we must successfully perform the nee
essary accessory tasks before permanent
basis of real prosperity is established.
Time must also be allowed for the recov-
cry of losses already suffered. AS has
been well said by the Financier: But the
election cannot wipe out the losses which
have been incurred, nor can it put back
into the savings banks the money which
idle wage earners have been forced to
withdraw in order to live. 1t cannot give
back to the manufacturer the lost orders
of a past season, and the days of work
which might have been devoted toward
developing the resources of a nation are.
in a way, not recoverable, although they
may be partly made up in the future"
1t must not be forgotten, either, that
whilst boarded moneys will gradually be
redeposited in banks. such gain may be
more than offset for while by withdraw
ais for purposes of investment. 1t may be
that banks will not be in very free position
to make general loans until the spring of
1897 follows the adjournment of the pres
ent Congress

There seems, says the Baltimore
Ne~s, to Ike an expanding sentiment in
the counties of Maryland in favor of a
reduction of official salaries and the
abolition of the fee system. For in
stance. the clerks of the circuit courts
have an income, it is claimed. out of
all proportion to the ability of the
counties to pay them and of the work
performed. While the earnings of
farms have diminished greatly in re-
cent years, the same fees and salaries
are paid public officers. Men who, in
private life, in competition with others
of like attanments and industry, would
make from $500 to $1,000 a wear. are
receiving three and four times as much
as Oftiee-hOlders. In the less wealthy
and prosperous sections of the State.
where politics is made trade and
means of livelihood, the fee system and
high salaries are undoubtedly respon-
sible for much ofthe corruption in pub
lie affairs, owing to the struggle to gain
possession of the offices by fair means
or foul

KING CORN.

A Philadelphia dispatch says that the
demand for shipping at that port is so
great that steamers are being chartered
two voyages ahead and even sailing ves-
sells pressed into service for the grain and
provision trade with countries south of
the equator.
Similar conditions are general at all onr
principal ports, and they are specially
noteworthy, as they are illustrated in the
statistics of our greatest staple-corn.
In October last year with phenomenal
crop, we exported but 1923, 600 bushels
In October this year we sent abroad H.
$50, 600 bushels.
In the first 10 months of last year our
corn exports were but 43,11OOOO bushels
while this year they are 1890, OOO-a
of considerably more than 100 per cent.
If this continues for another 10 months
we shall have more surplus cash in the
country than We have had in Is years, and
corn's title as king will be more than
vindicated against cotton, wheat, petro-
leum iron or any other pretender to its
hOnOrs.
Senator PETER, of Kansas, favors max
ing the populist party the leader in the

The New York Tribune says
Through the permission of Right Rev.
DR.. Henry Y. Satterlee, Bishop OF
Washington and formerly rector OF
Cavalry Episcopal Church, this city
the facts concerning mission of pecu,
liar moment with which he was intrus'
ted last summer are now for the first
time made public.
This mission was personal visit OF
the Washington bishop, asa represent
alive of Protestant bodies of all creeds
in this country and Great Britain, to
the Car of all the RuSsiaS, to
whom he presented a petition implor-
ing the interposition of that monarch
in behalf of the prosecuted Armenians
in Turkey 1t was deemed prudent,
in order that there should he no undue
haste in making public the circum-
stances of the case. that nothing should

The movement in behalf of the I'M
fortunate Armenians which eliminated
in presentation Ola memorial to the
Gar began last February, when the
bishops of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in the United States joined in
an address to the principal powers OF
Europe. asking them to take action in
stopping the massacres and persecu-
tions of the Armenian Christians. At
the same time. the bishops addressed a
petition to the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, the late DIR. Benson, praying for
the help of the Church of England and
for his influence with the governments
of Europe. This help was given and
a petition to the Gar was largely
signed by prominent chnrchmen of all
denominations.

WHEAT TAX Els \ DROP.

The wheat market took a downward
plunge Monday. Publication of figures
showing larger visible supply in this
country and abroad than had been antici-
pated, as we'll as an increase in the world S
shipments for the past week, caused the
drop in prices.
At the Baltimore Chamber of Commerce
spot wheat closed at S94 cents a bushel,
against 90 cents on Saturday, and Deem
Der wheat at S7a, against 81 cents. The
condition of the New York market is
shown by the following dispatch:
Under an extraordinary weight of bear
news wheat lost cents a bushel today.
From Saturdays curb price of SO Deem
Der tumbled to SO before 9 O'Clock. The
weakness lasted all day. with the excep-
ton of sharp rally near the close due to
false export rumors. This was partly lost
in the last few minutes, however, and
prices left off sa24 under Saturdays curb,
1.-THE unfavorable news brought out
large quantities of long wheat. Promi-
nent among the bear items were weak Liv-
erpool cables increasing Northwestern re-
ceipts, large gains in the English visible
and worlds shipments and generous adj
dition to the amount on passage. The
domestic visible supply staggered the bulls
by increasing million bushels, where a
slight increase had been expected. Local
export sales amounted to 10000 bushels
December closed at 500. Total transac-
tions for the day were 9,O95, 600 bushels.
Negotiations are under way for the
charter of an 1S,O0D-q uarter steamer to
load at New York with grain for Cork for
orders, with the privilege of Bombay di-
rect. The Bombay rate is said to be fixed
at 8 shillings quarter The shippers are
believed to have prepared for this cargo
by purchasing $4,000 bushels of corn and
$4,000 bushels of mixed oats. 1t is also
reported that 24O,OOO bushels of No 1 hard
Duluth wheat for prompt shipment to
Australia has been purchased, and that a
cargo of flour is under negotiation to be
shipped to the same market. These char
tiers and purchases are taken as comtirma-
ton of the famine reports in India and
the short crop in Australia"

NIAGARA H.ARNESSED.

\ new era in the industrial progress of
Buffalo was inaugurated Sunday the 10Th
when electricity generated by the water
power ut Niagara Falls was brought to
Buffalo. The curreut will be used for
manufacturing purposes, The transmits
ion of electricity is the realization of the
dream of electrical and mechanical engi-
neers, who had studied the problem for
many years. Hundreds of thou sands of
dollars have been spent in the project
The electricity will be first used in opera
ting IA portion of the Buffalo street rail-
way. 1t is designed to use ultimately the
current in manufacturing and other estab-
liShmcnts of the city.
The great dynamos in the power-houe
at Niagara Falls are marvellous in their
power. Each of the four has capacity
of 5000 horse power, even when turbines
below develop an efficiency of only 15per
cent. The system of generations is known
as the Tesla Folyphase alternating current
system Each generator delivers an alter
mating current to each of two circuits
The two currents are $50 apart, that is,
each current attains its maximum value
when the value of the other is zero. The
direction Of the current is reversed 1900
times per minute. The current thus pro-
duccd is conveyed through heavy lead
covered cables to the small transformer
house on the other side of the canal
Here the wires enter what are called
''step-up' transformers, where the current
is converted into one of high potential.
Then the current leaves the transformer
house on a heavy wiIe and is fairly launch
ed on its long journey.
This is the process until the "stcp- down"
point is reached, the city line of Buffalo
Here is another power house, twenty six
miles from the source of the power where
the potential Is reduced and the current is
again put on the wires and carried into
Buffalo to the railway company.

THE VkNEZUELAN TREATY

Senior Andrade. minister to the United
States from Venezuela, has gone home.
He has taken with him a copy of the treaty
between Venezuela. and Great Britain for
the arbitration of the boundary dispute.
together with a copy of the agreement
signed by Secretary Olney and Sir. Julian
Pauncefort, which was preliminary to the
treaty between the country &C
tually in interest, Senior Andrade will
urge his government to accept the treaty
at once He will carry letter from Sec
rotary Olney, which will show the pc .ition
of this country and will point out to the
Venezuelan government the advanta &c
of accepting the treaty and adjusting the
boundary on the lines secured through the
intervention of the United States. Senior
Andrade left Washington confident that
there would be no hcsitancy on the part of
Venezuela in accepting the Ieaty, but he
was so anxious that the matter would be
speedily disposed of that he decided to go
in person to Caracas instead of making
his representations by letter.
The treaty will have to be approved not
only by President Crespo, but by the
House of Representatives of Venezuela
Minister Andrade had no doubt of speedy
action on the part of the Venezuelan leg

The treaty is in blank as to signatures,
but no doubt it will be signed by Sir Ju-
