Destruction of the TosUn Of Asperon by
Fire.
AMSTERDAM, HOLLAND. March 5.-A
conhagration started last night in the
small town of Asperon, South Holland. A
strong wind was blowing which aided
greatly In the spread of the flames and
rendered fruitless the efforts to extlnguish
the fire. The greater part of the town has
been destroyed and it is probable that the
fire will not be extinguished until the
whole place is destroyed. A large num-
ber of cattle have been burned to death.
So far as known at present no human be-
ings have lost their lives.

Lessons of the Loan.

Not the least significant feature Of
the success in floating a popular loan
of $10O, 900, 900, with the option Of issu-
ing double that amount, has been its
influence on the gold coin in the coun-
try.
It naturally would be supposed that
a call for so large an amount. of gold
would have one of two effects either
it would contract the amount of gold
supposed to be in circulation or it
would reduce the amount of gold coin
held by the treasury, that being the
source from which all gold comes into
the hands of the people. But the loan
has had neither of these effects. The
amount of gold coin in circulation was
greater Feb. l by SD, 534,139 than it
was Jan. l, while the amount of gold
coin in the treasury Feb l, was greater
by $847 ,027 than it was Jan. L. A part
of this increase Of treasury coin may be
accounted for by the fact that the gov
eminent has coined $l4, 1852. 377 of the
gold bullion it had on hand Jan. L,
which has rednced that form Of treas
ury assets about one-half; but this has
been accomplished without increasing
the issue Of gold certificates, which
have, in fact, decreased $08, 500 since
Jan. /. So far as the facts prove any
thing they show very concluslvely that
the people Of the United States, even
in a season of comparative inactivity
in business, are not only abundantly
able but entirely willing to protect the
national treasury to a greater extent
than its absolute necessities demand.
Another thing which it made apparent
is that, however much foreign investors
may pretend to be afraid Of the discus
sion Of the financial problem that is
is going on with some energy in this
country, the American people do not
regard it as a menace to our financial
system or to the ability Of the govern
ment to meet its obligations fairly and
honestly.
These two things are worth more as
evidence Of the financial stability of our
government than gold which the peo
pie offer to their treasury. - Chicago

THE Chicago Tribune is engaged in
the laudable enterprise, for which it
deserves great credit of developing the
fact that the people are in favor of the
nomination of William Mckinley for
president The preference for him
among the wage earners of the country
the common people and the business
men is as wide as the country. There
are not ten states in the Union, great
and admirable as other candidates
may be, where the people by great
majority are not in favor of his nOmina-
ton. If it is the desire of republicans
to build up great party the first thing
to do is to give the people their choice
us a candidate and cease those un-re-
publican methods OF scheming to send
delegates to ST. Louis convention who
will ignore the will of the people by
voting for men the people do not favor
at this time. 1t will pay the party bet
ter to give the people their choice than
to pay for favors at the hands of the
nominee. This means that those who
seek by intrigues to deadlock the con-
vention in order to effect a combination
and name candidate in spite of the
preference of the people, in order to Sc
cure patronage and advance Dossism,
are not working in the interests of the
party, but simply to accomplish their
own selfish ends.

The outlook for the House tariff bill
is not encouraging, no matter whether
Senator Quay's resolution, to recommit
the free coinage substitute, which the
finance committee last week reported
to the committee, be adopted or not.
If adopted there is nothing to show
that Senator Jones, of Nexada, who
holds the balance of power, will allow
anything but a free coinage substitute
to be reported from the committee.
And if it isn't adopted there is little
hope of getting the tariff bill through
the Senate.

that this was demonstrated when he

Gov. MCKINLEY'S manager claims
400 votes in the convention, and if that
is true aud they can hold them nothing
will prevent his nomination, because
451 is majority of the convention, and
there will be enough of the uncertain
quantity to give him the necessary
number if he comes so near it on the
first ballot. They claim all of Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kansas,
Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri,
Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, South
Carolina, Tennessee and Wisconsin
and portions of the delegation from
several other states. But while Nc
Kinley undoubtedly will have more
votes than any two of his competitors
on the first ballot experienced politi-
clans consider that an element of weak
ness rather than of strength. 1t will
make him the object of assault from
all the other candidates, and it is al
most Invariably the rule that the man
who starts out with the largest follow
ing is beaten. The gentlemen who
have been making the calculations
concede Mckinley $50 votes. They
give Allison $50, Morton 100, Cullom
so and Davis 40.

A NUMBER of people are claiming
credit for the success of the new loan,
but 1t may be said that if it had not
been for the resolution which Mr..

tract would have been made with Mr..
Morgan's syndicate on terms very near
~ similar to those of the loan of Feb
ruary, 1895. Mr.. Elkins made the first
attack upon the administration for its
methods of handling the gold reserve,
and started a debate in the senate
which brought out only one man who
had the courage to defend them.

THE Chicago Records Washington
correspondent in a recent letter to his
paper contributes the following figures
which furnish food for reflection:
| am asked whether the receipts
from duties upon imported goods were
greater under the Mckinley law than
under the Wilson law. The Mckinley
law went into effect in 1890. The re-
ceipts from customs by fiscal years
since that date have been as follows:
1891 1915, 500, 2O5
1892 -----.-. LIS, 49,, 1854

ONE Of the surprises of the next de-
cennial census may be the discovery
that the national center of population
has moved eastward for the first time
since the government was formed. The
state censuses taken last year indicate
that the east is growing more rapidly
than the west. In the five years since
1890 Massachusetts gained in popula-
ton 100000, or III per cent. The
gain of New Jersey III the same period
was $4,000, or 15,7 per cent Iowa's
corresponding gain was 100000, or 7.6
per cent. Kansas reports a loss since
since 1890. and OregOn's increase III the
five years is not quite 8 per cent.
Whether this new development in ma
,tional growth is due entirely to natural
causes, or in part, at least, to the
blight of populism and silver imitation,
is net yet clearly determined. But the
states tainted with populist notions
may prepare to hear something drop in
the census of 1900. This looms up al
ready in the official figures of different
states as an accomplished fact.
