4 WELCOME SIGN OF THE TIMES

The convention Of business men. rep
resenting all sections OF the country
which has been called to meet at In
dianapolis January 3, ought TO contrib.
ute something OF material value toward
solving the monetary problem. II Is
directly In line with the labors OF the
business men during the presidential
campaign, and in fact is a sort OF obli-
cation growing out Of that activity.
They were most potent in the election
OF Mckinley and a Republican house of
representatives on platform declar-
ing for sound money and protection,
and hence they very properly feel them
selves enlisted for further service. Their
suggestions thus formally rendered
should be and doubtless viii be well
coined by congress,
This manifestation of deep interest IN
public affairs on the part or those ne
cessarily so much occupied with their
own private affairs is a healthy sign Of
the times. The country must beneat
when those who carry on great enter
prisese and study great questions at
first hand organize to assist IN the
devisement Of sound public policies aud
in the furtherance Of their adoption and
| execution. Congress could draw upon
no better reservoir for gOod advice. In
fact 1t is the very self-same reservoir
upon which the people frequently draw
for some OF their wisest and most use
full public servants. The successful bus
mess man Of today is often the success

now, merely transferring to the public
account talents which he has been em-
ploying for his own individual account.

and passing officially upon phases OF
the very questions they are now as prl-
vate citizens considering.
The complaint. from high sources,
has more than once been made that
business men as rule take too little
interest in politics, Some Of the en-
barrassments Of the country. and much
of the power and offensiveness Of party
bosses, have been ascribed to the fail
ure Of bushes men to make themselves |
sufficiently felt in the primaries and at
the polls. They have been accused Of
by their own activity. the ac- /
tivity Of the FOUNDERS and plugures |
count for too much. II there has been /.
any authority for this charge in the
past, the reproach viii be wiped out
II what is now being attempted by the
business organizations Of the country
is pressed 10 its proper and legitimate

The report of the death of the negro
fnsurgent Maceo is confirmed by the
dispatch in this mornings paper, this
time from Cuban sources. The charge
has been frequently made that the
Spanish are exercising a censorship
over all press dispatches sent out from
Havana, and that they are all more
or less colored in the interest of the ma
tional forces. From the numerous de-
malls as to Maceo's death sent out by
the rebels or their sympathizers for
days past, and this final elimination
in the reluctant admission Of his death,
coupled with details charging treachery
on the part Of the Spanish, which the
world knows from circumstances al
ready told and authentically proven
cannot be true, go to show that reports
from the other side are not entirely
destitute of a certain degree Of color.
1t Is ridiculous to say that Maceo was
trapped and deliberately butchered in
cold blood by the Spanish forces, since
the meagre means Of Identification
brought forward by the Spanish prove
exactly the contrary. If they had killed
Maceo in the manner described by the
rebel dispatch there could never have
been any doubt about his Identification
His body would have been carried to
Havana, where it would have been ex-
hibited and identified to the satisfaction
of every newspaper correspondent in
the city.

The late experiments with hydraulic
power in sluicing down the hills at
the head Of Tenth and Twelfth streets
have demonstrated TO the satisfaction
Of all that grading can be done in AS
tOria cheaper and more effectively by
this than by any other means. It has
also been demonstrated that a seawall
is very much needed in order to pre-
vent the filling in of the river channel
as well as to retain the earth for the
purposes Of filling in lots and building
streets on the lower levels. In certain
sections Of the city it may not be ne
cessary TO do much sluicing in order to
level down the mills, but to get any ben
eft from such a landslide a seawall is
an absolute necessity.

II is 10 be supposed, says the New
York Tribune, that in ordering the re-
imposition Of tonnage dues upon Ger
man shipping in American ports the
president and his official advisers are
sure OF their ground. Mr.. Cleveland is
not given TO precipitous action in such
matters. This case. moreover. is one Of
which he should have especially com
plete knowledge. by virtue both OF his
own past experience and OF his present
means OF securing information. The
last preceding controversy with Ger
many on this subject arose during his
former administration. and was
brought to a close by Mr.. Cleveland
himself in a proclamation granting the
contention Of the German government.
He now takes up the case at the point
where ne had laid it down. and by
new proclamation revokes that former
proclamation. When II is further
5o.ne in mind that the present Amer
lean ambassador at Berlin is Mr.. Uhl.
formerly one Of Mr.. Cleveland's assist
ant secretaries Of state, and that Mr..
Chamberlain, the United States COM
missioner Of navigation. has personally
spent much time in Germany this year
investigating this very subject, assur-
ance is confirmed that the president
has ample information for his guidance
in the action he has taken.
