CUTTING ON EXPENSES.

The affairs of this country, its indus
trial, financial and commercial inter-
ests being now settled on gold stand
ard. the first thing congress should
turn its attention to is the very import
ant matter of expenditures, which also
should be brought down to a gold stand
ard. Billion dollar congressional appro-
priations came of boom times or of an
imitation period. Five thousand dollars
now go as far as ten thousand dollars
did when silver was worth S1.29 pei
ounce and every conceivable value was
up in the top notch. Only last week,
lust on the eve of the verdict which
has been returned by the American
people, the state department at Wash
ngiten took step in the direction of
economy by abelishing a large number
of consular fees. The cut is also great
that it is said that there viii not be
such a scramble hereafter for these
far, easy places. The estimated reduc-
ton effected by the order in the in
comes Of consuls TO Great Britain alone
is estimated TO amount to more than
100000 per snnum. The order, never
theless. is eommendable as a measure
OF reform. The fees abolished were
unnecessary and purely veXatious-as,
for instance, those exacted for oaths
TO invoices of such goods exported to
the United States as are admitted free
o. subject TO only specific duties. No
good end was served by requiring aft
dayits to the value Of such invoices
there being no motive for underTalua-
ioin by the exportersl, unless the hi
crease of consular incomes be consid-
cred yirtuous object. If the revenues
OF consulS under the new order he in
sufficient 10 attract first class talent.
an increase Of salaries would be more
fitting certainly than the continuance
of system open to petty but annoying
abuses.

WE SHOULD TAKE COURAGE.

With the election of Mckinley and a
Republican congress confidence will be
restored and business should revive.
In the meantime prices have commcnc-
ed to advance for farm products, espe-
ciaIly on wheat. Every report from
Europe confirms the first estimate Of a
general shortage in the wheat crop
abroad, in consequence of which since
August the value of the wheat in the
American farmers hands has increas-
ed about $50.OO0,000. Exports OF wheat
and other grains have been greatly IN
excess CT any recent years, and there Is
every indication that the impetus thus
given to prices will force them beyond
ANYTHING We have seen since the pres
ent reign Of low prices began. The
advance in all agricultural products al
ready means nearly S2oo.0o0,ooo more
for the farmers pocket than he would
have received in August. As some
contemporary remarks: All in ali the
American farmer, taught by hard ex-
pereince in the school OF hard times.
To be thankful for small favors' has
occasion 10 remember thai November
is the month of our national thanksgiy-
ing. and take courage for new bout
with fortune.

MARK HANNA.

The greatest political general OF the
times is Mark Hanna. Abused, carica-
t1Ired and cartooned increasingly, he
never lost his head. He baked at notn-
ing and seems TO have Compensated
everything. He had been business
man all his life up to the time his
friend Major Mckinley doomed up as
the logical candidate for the Republi-
can party in the fight of '96, when he
undertook the direction of the contest
for delegates to the national conven-
ton. He went at it in the same way
that he would to work out one OF his
iron mines. He had no ideas of diplom-
acy and of political finesse. Having
decided what was desirable in any Civ
en- locality, he simply charged with all
his forces and never let up striking I'M
til he had gained the desired end. There
has been much talk about the use or
money. 1t is asserted by those who
know or who ought to know that he
used less money in seventeen doubtful
states for which he battied than was
used in four doubtful states four years
ago. 1t is even intimated that he will
open up the books of the central COM
mittee's expenditures to the world. The
great bulk Of the money was spent in
printing campaign literature and in
paying the expenses of speakers. The
most of the money was raised by HIM
self. As for the ISLANDERS to which he
was daily subjected by the opposition
press, he never stopped to deny or
strike back except in the instance of
the charge that he was hard taskmas-
ter and defrauder of labor. His
pride for years as a great employer of
labor had been the fact that his men
We're always ready to fight for him and
that walking delegates could get up no
strikes among his employees.
And so the great iron-master, miner
and manufacturer becomes an import
ant political factor. One year ago the
man who was seldom heard of outside
of Cleveland, Ohio, has become as wide
" known as either of the presidential
candidates and of much more import
ance than he who was defeated.

HERE'S MORE TROUBLE.

The election and its troubles will soon
be over-are about over. We nave used
Johnny Bull for all he is worth as
campaign frebrand, but here comes
fresh trouble from across the water, ar
least it is threatened. One Of Madame
Blavatsky's followers in this country
claims that the late high priestess OF
theosophy has been reincarnated IN the
person of the claimant, and this preten-
soin has aroused the anger of the Mad
ame's Disciples in England, who derlde
the claims of the American pretender
and declare that they will shortly be-
ing crusade against her. Mrs. Besant
who is the champion Of the doubling
English theosophists, maintains that
Madame Blavatsky announced before
her departure from this earthly sphere
that when she was reincarnated 1t
would be in the body of an Indian
youth, and it would seem to be fair
deduction that if Blavatsky had the
power of reincarnating herself she
would also be able to choose the form
nj which she would reappear. Mrs. Be.
SAINT clinches her argument by the
statement that IAN adept can take the
soul Of his Chela and put it into new
body, but nothing could be more absurd
to imagine that he would choose the
worn-cut body of a middle-aged woman
for carrying on the work which the
Chela's old body had not been able to
do" Whatever may be the merits OF
the case, and even assuming that Mad
anne Blauatsky's "Chela" could err. it
is plain enough that one woman cannot
refer to another as "worn-out" and
"middle-aged", without stirring up a
row. And as the alleged reincarnated
Blavatsky is a New York woman, we
may expect her to be as bitter about
British theOsopllists as the average sill
yer orator is when he is beaten in ar
gument and begins to ring the changes
on British gold" 81

m.KINr.pY AND THE SOUTH

One of the most encouraging results
of the election, one that is Of great mo-
ment to the future of the country, Is
the break in the solid south. No one
thing so frightened patriotic men and
rendered politicians more uneasy Ill
the campaign just closed thai the ap-
peal to sectionallism. No one thing
could prove mere imminent OF dissoiu-
ton than sectionalilsm, il matters not
what the question at issue might De.
There is no longer a solid south. There
were majorities in some Of the south
ern states who voted for principle, Vot-
ed to sustain their convictions without
regard TO past prejudiees, odd party
affiliations or the fact that tney haa
been held and controlled politically for
many years before by sectional pflde
and sectional disaster. That President
Mckinley will know no south, no north
no east, no west, there is no question.
Bryan would have leaned to the west,
as has Cleveland 10 the South ana the
east. The Republican party IS as strong
now in a number of southern states as
the Democratic party is in the midole
vest. Next to sectionalism is cllassism-
dangerous. Mckinley goes into the
White House a poor man. he VIII
come out of it a poor man. No Wall
street syndicate or stock Jobbing con
cern viii ever approach him with "a
soft snap" He will know neither see
ton or class, but will be for the whole
American people and for the protec-
ton of their industries and enterprises
as against all the whole world.
