TOO MUCH SOCIETY.
Senator HIPS Complaint Against the
Washington Women,

NEW YORK, Jan. SIN an interview
in the Brooklyn Eagle, Senator Hill gives
evidence that he has at last fallen a
victim to the war fever that is sweep
ing the earth. The senator from New
York has declared open hostilities
against the women Of Washington. He
says:
Il think 1t would be a mighty good
idea II the women were packed away
and sent out Of Washington and the
men left alone there to attend to the
business that they are sent here for bv
the country. The trouble is there are
too many dinners and too much social
dissipation in official circles at the cap
1tal. No man can go to these fashion
able dinners night after night and sit
up until morning attending to social
functions and be in any condition to
grapple with the knotty problems oe
finance and affairs that are at this time
forced upon the consideration OF orr
public men. I know that I am called a
crusty old bachelor, but if any sane
man will think over what 1 have said
I believe he will agree with me. and
acknowledge that j am right This
criticism applies to members of the SEN
ate and of congress, and to officials OF
the administration. 1 attribute a good
many foolish plumbers made by the
public men of late to just these things
too much society and not enough at
tention to and study Of public affairs"

WHERE IS THE OLD SOLDIER 2

Word comes from Washington that
the committee on pensions has
been considering the amount that 1t
will recommend congress to appro-
pirate for the ensuing year, and that
it is practically agreed that the limit
will be about $13S,000,000 The old sol
diers-that is, those who make pro-
fession of old ,soldiering-may well rub
their eyes and wipe their glasses and
read the announcement again to see
if they read it Alright at first. A de-
crease in the appropriation and by
Republican congress? Has the soldier
hating Cleveland hynotized them all?
Are they going to "knuckle down" to
that commissioner Of pensions after
all? Are these congressman the same
ones who portrayed the suffering, the
abuse of, the insults to the old soldiers
in the last campaign and who were
election?
And where is all that valorous talk
about impeaching the secretary of the
interior, that Confederate in the sad
die, and his commissioner of pensions?
Here are we old soldiers waiting pa
tiently to hear the orators repeating
in the lower house the diatribes, the
philippics, the denunciations they
poured into our ears on the stump; and
is this what we hear? Where is that
| legislative committee Of the Grand
Army that was deputed to see our
wrongs righted, our insults rebuked,
the spy system abolished and the old
soldier restored to his ancient glory?
Where is Heatwole the impressive, and
Tawney the twister, and Towne the
fluent, and Kiefer the valorous? Why
do we not hear from them? Has their
indignation that Commissioner Lochren
should have actually refused to expend
all the money appropriated by the Fiji
ty-third congress cooled down? Are
they fierce fighters only on the stump?
Weren't we robbed of some fifteen
million dollars? Didn't they all tell
take it all back now? Or were thay
only humbugging us before election,
fooling us with their mock heroics to
get our votes, knowing we'll that Loeb
rem was right? Only $13S, 900 900. Thrae
millions less than Lochren, with all
his spies and cheeseparing and drop
ping and suspending, spent. Do they
think we need less instead Of more
| as We grow older and more HELPLESS ?
Is this the gratitude, not of republics.
but of Republicans? Are we but a lot
Of old catspaws, fit only to rake the
chestnuts of these callow youths from
the fire? Are we only "a good-enough
Morgan" until after elections? We ex-
pected nothing from the Democrats.
but are we to- receive even less from
our friends?. We will not stand If

and in conflict with her own than to
yield to the view of the Monroe doc
trne which this administration has set
forth. If Germany's attitude is cor
rectly represented, it means that that
empire has decided and openly declares
that it will resist pretension Of Eng
land to which there was not previously
official opposition or objection. For
Great Britain to accept this view would
be square backdown. She may, in
deed, without stretching the point too
far. consider this utterance of the
emperor as AN act of aggression.
The measures which have been al
ready taken by the British government
indicate a determination on her part
to assert and maintain to the full all
the claims that she has advanced to
authority in the Transvaal. There has
not been for many years so distinct
threat OF a clash between any two
nations in Europe as there is in the at
titude of Germany and Great Britain
toward each other today. A peaceful
way of escape from the situation is
not obvious to the observer. There is
a larger cloud on the horizon than has
appeared in the British sky since the
occupation Of Egypt. Great Britain
will do well to look to her arms, and
not to endanger further the pacific re-
lations which exist between herself and
any other government that has been,
and wishes to remain, her friend.

climbs. making, with the occasional de-
creases. an outline of jagged mountain
peaks, ending at the summit in over
175,O0O tons.
! The diagram showing the production
and fluctuations. in the price of iron
and steel rails, billets and pig iron
since 1870 is especially interesting. In
spite of tariffs to prevent or lessen
competition and of pools and combines
to regulate output and prices, there has
not been an entire year in the whole
twenty-five when they have been able
to maintain prices. The lines running
across the page tracing the rise and
fall of prices present the outlines of an
Alpine range, with occasional high
peaks and sharp declivities, but stead
lily falling off to the foothills Thus
the line of steel rail price begins in
1870 at $40 ton, falls to $95 the next
year, RECEIVERS itself in 1872, mounts to
over s12O in 1873, fiutters violently and
then plunges down, with hardly a
check in its fall, to SAL at the close of
1877. The resumption of specie pay
ment, the violent increase in currency
volume by the release of the metallic
money following, caused a speculative
movement in railway construction.
that sent the. price sharply up in 1879
80 to $85; but it could not be maintained,
and there was a continuous fall until
1884. A reaction carried the price up
to $40. but the tendency was downward
until it rested at S2S. What is true of
rails is, in more or less measure, true
of the other iron products their lines
Following generally the rail-price line.
How ruthlessly economic laws work
in spite of all efforts to impede them
is wildly portrayed in these diagrams
The flats of congresses, the combina-
lions Of selfish men, Indifferent to the
humanities, are alike impotent before
the workings of a law that recks little
of the desires of men. The variations
In the line show that such efforts to
divert the current of the laws of trade
operate only injuriously, causing f1uc-
tuations that carry losses equivalent
at least, TO the gains The diagram
especially shows this in the Mckinley
epoch. There was a slight anticipatory
rise in all prices before and in 1890; but
1t was not held, and prices slumped
| TO lower Level than before the
enactment Of the Mckinley law. An
other story is told in this diagram of
how an industry is engaged in the
struggle of the survival of the fittest
and, If unequal to the struggle, how
surely it must go down. In 1870 the
output Of iron rails was nearly 600 600
tons, rising to 100000 in 1872 Then
the Bessener process came into vogue,
and the iron rail industry began to
decline until it makes no mark on the
diagram after 1885, 1t was a dead Gin
FAINT industry" despite all it's tender
nursing. The diagrams illustrative Of
the hardware trade and prices are an
other very interesting feature whose
consideration must be deferred to an
other time.

cause the tax estimates are not yet
passed upon finally, and we urge a
movement toward economy before it
is too late. AS to the moneys which
we expend under the direction of acts
of the legislature, nothing can be done
at the present time. 1t is waste of
effort to consider them now We can
take care Of Niem later AS to all other
expenditures there has been exhibited,
we are glad to say and proud to see,
as long as the idea was that all would
be treated equally, a disposition in all
quarters to accept with cheerfulnesS
some sacrifice for the common good.
The benefits to accrue to the city and
to every man in it from a saving in
expenses are so great and real that
all would do their share without grum-
bling. But when it comes to setting UP
one standard for one department and
another for another, extending liber-
atty her and pinching there, making a
show of economy in one quarter and
slashing in another, everybody grows
such a case, falls through; and the re-
suit that could have been foretold in
advance is to leave things just where
they were. This ought not to be. 1t
would not be if from the beginning the
plan had been to apply uniform scale
of reduction for the public benefit, and
to listen to no special appeals and
make no determinations. Let all those
who are concerned in the administra-
ton of our affairs realize that the de-
mand of the people for retrenchment
is an earnest one and that they will
be dissatisfied deeply if it is disap-
pointed Let them remember that ev-
cry individual, from the comfortably
salaried official to the street laborer,
will profit by it eventually in increased
prosperity, enlarged opportunity for
labor, and higher rate of compensa-
ton This is the purpose and sure re-
suit of municipal saving. But we
think it has been demonstrated by this
time beyond a question that the only
way to accomplish it is to make one
rule for all, and to distribute with an
impartial hand such sacrifices as may
be necessary to promote the interests
Of ST. Paul and Of its every inhabitant.

WHAT 1T MEANS.

The New York Sun, which would
rather be against Cleveland than to be
right. notes the fact that for some
days past many brokers in that civ
have been buying United States bonds
with bank checks at premium. This
margin which they have been willing
to pay for legal tenders has risen as
high as three-fourths of one per cent
Says the Sun: cat time when so
many of our citizens, headed by the
president, are clamoring for the retire
ment of the legal tender notes, and
the substitution for them of bank
notes, it is instructive to note that in
the money markets the legal tende.

WARMING TO THE PUBLIC.
Two Men Soliciting Aid Whose
Statements Cannot De Verified.

The following from The secretary of tbe
Society for the Relief of The I'oor Is self-ex-
planatory:
st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. s. 1S96.-In RESPONSE
to letter received this afternoon to the effect
that two men had just called at enc of the
leading wholesale houses. one giving the
name OF Edward l.. Morgan, claiming to be a
conductor on the Duluth road and stopping
at the Merchants, hotel; the ether T. j.
Brown, living at TAB Wacouta street Mr.
Brown having arm off and needing an
operation and artificial arm for which
they were collecting funds. They had quite
list, we are told, of business firms who had
subscribed, and on account Of which we were
requested 10 look up the case.
First. we interviewed the artificial limb
manufacturer, who knows nothing Of the mat
ter. We then went to the Duluth Office 10 find
there was no such man in their employ as
conductor; then to the Merchants hotel
where no such conductor was known. We
next drove to Wacouta street, but found no
such number as 743, the highest number on
the street being 553.
We would warn the public against giving to
de1ray the expenses of this operation and the
artificial limb, for so far we can find out
their statements cannot be verified. Re.
