GOVERNMENTS AND CURRENCY.

1t ceases to be a matter of s1rr1.isa
that six million adult citizens of these
United States gave their approval to
financial heresy last year when one
reads in a paper, usually so intelligent
as is the Minneapolis Times. an edi
torial under the above caption. When
the blind lead the blind, leaders and
followers are apt to founder in NOR
asses together. Taking the demand
that the government retire from the
banking business" q demand not re-
stricted, as the Times intimates. to
bankers, it enters upon a disuuisition
on the relations Of government to
money, making, as its major premise,
the assertion that "the issuing of
money is an attribute Of sovereignty,
and when the government delegates
that right to private individuals or COR
porations, it abanGons one Of it's pre-
negatives" If it's premise is correct,
what follows is; if false, what follows
is fallacious.
The idea expressed by the Times
forms the basis Of every financial
hcresy that ever afflicted mankind.
It was the basis Of the action of those
old sovereigns who clipped the coin of
the realm, debased it with larger pro-
portions Of the base metals, attempted
to make it full value by fiat and com
their debts If it is of such "sovereign-
ties" the Times speaks we agree that
what they issued was not money, and
the fate of their issues abundantly sus-
tains our position. If our acontempory

A REPUBLICAN PROTEST.

Republican opinion is not unit on
the matter of bounties in general and
sugar beet bounties in particular.
Neither, for that matter, is Democratic
sentiment, that is, if every man is to
be accepted as a Democrat who calls
himself one. Those two distinguished
statesmen, for instance. Senator Nc
Emery, Of Louisiana, and Senator KeT-
Ter, of Stearns county, who rate
themselves Democrats, are quite
strenuous in their belief that bounty
giving is in accord with Democratic
principles. With these important de-
fections from the primal principles of
our party, it is the more refreshing to
find them cropping out in the Republi-
can party. The proposition to encour-
age timid capital in Wisconsin to invest
itself in converting the saccharine in
the beet into granulated and loaf,
draws out the following emphatic pro-
test from the Sentinel:
The proposition for a state bounty en- beet
sugar produced within the state is to ccme
before the legislature in the form of bill
asking for a bounty of one cent pound.
This bounty is for the years 1897 and 1898
and is limited to five factories. For the first
year it cannot apply to any other than the
Menominee Falls factory, inasmuch as there
are no other factories yet and it would be
impossible to construct more in time to take
advantage of the bounty this year. 1t is I'm
derstood that the capacity Of the Menominee
Falls factory is 1900 pounds a year, SO that
bounty of one cent would mean a contri-
button of $4,000 annually to that factory
The capitalization of the factory is about
$l6O0OO, so that the bounty would constitute
an extremely generous subsidy which ought
to make the Menominee Falls factory a sin
gularly profitable venture. Of course it NAV
not be that the company depends upon the
granting Of this bounty for the successful
operation of the factory. For, if it did the
enterprise would seem doomed to failure
as there is precious little prospect that the
Legislature will go into the business of fos
tering the beet sugar industry.
The bill, introduced after the above
was printed, offers bounty Of half a
cent pound, to be divided equally
between the refiner and the beet grow
er, but the principle remains, and we
are glad to see the Sentinel defending
it,

LIMITS OF HLASKA
TREATY FOR THE SETTLEMENT
OF THE VEXED QUESTION
ALREADY PREPARED.
SOON TO BE SUBMITTED.
SERIOUS OBSTACLE TO THE GEN
ERAL ARBITRATION AGREE
MElNT THUS REMOVED.
TOO VALUABLE TO BE RIsKED.
NUfth"est Senator's Objected to
Leaving the boundary Line to
an European Arbiter.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-One of the
greatest obstacles to the ratification
by the senate, Of the general arbitra
ton treaty has been removed by the ne
gOt1ating of plan for the settlement Of
the Alaskan boundary question In the
course of day or two, treaty will be
laid before the senate for it's action,
which, If ratified, will provide the means
for the final settlement of the long
standing boundary question
certain OF the Northwestern senators
nave secretly opposed the general ar
duration treaty because of a determi-
nation on their part not to have this
boundary question submitted to arbi-
tratlon. They felt that the territory
was too valuable particularly since the
discovery of the great wealth of gold
deposits there, to chance it's loss
through any such accident as the an
po1ntment of a European umpire, and
their objections were not overcome by
repeated representations to the effect
that such disputes might be easily ex-
cepted from the operations Of the gem
eral treaty
Now by the treatment OF the Alaskan
boundary in a separate treaty, Just IS
was Toretold at the time the general
arbitration treaty was signed, the
whole subject can be easily removed
from the path Of the general treaty
and disposed of in advance, if neces-
sary. This special treaty is similar in
terms to the usual run of such treaties
and provides for the appointment Of a
commission to visit the country and fix
definitely the 10th meridian, which IN
der the treaty Of cession Of Alaska to
the United States, forms the boundary
between that erritory and the British
Northwest territory.

A BARGAIN.

Ambassador Newlands, envoy extraor-
binary and minister plenipotentiary
from the silver states, has, it is an
nounced in the Washington dispatches.
succeeded in negotiating a treaty with
the Mckinley Republicans that will
insure the passage Of tariff bill when
congress meets in extra session at the
call of the new president. 1t is added
that great tact was necessary to bring
the mission to a successful issue. The
terms of the entente are not made pub
lie, but enough is given to show that it
is an offensive rather than a defen-
sive alliance. The silver men, under
the agreement, are to retain their.
autonomy and do not agree to stop their
attacks on their former friends when
questions involving the coinage Of sill

yer are at stake. They do undertake,
for consideration, to furnish enough
votes to give the Republican tariff tink-
ers majority in the house and SEN
ate. The consideration is an important
matter. 1t is THAT the silver men be
allowed to dictate such parts Of the
new tariff act as they deem proper.
In other wordsgthe silver men are to be
allowed to name the schedules for
western products In return they will
not limit the tariffs which Eastern
manufacturers may desire to impose.
The efforts Of Secretary Olney sink
into comparative insignificance before
this diplomatic achievement of the
western congressman. The arbitration
treaty itself seems but a poor affair
When compared with this new alliance.
The wounds inflicted at st. Louis, when
great party1 was rent asunder, are
healed, in part at least. The bitter
tears shed in parting are dried. Taunt-
ing words and scornful invectives are
retracted. Differences. so great that
no compromise could bridge them are
reconc1led. Its little bit" for each has
served to reunite factions parted be-
yond apparent hope of reconciliation.
Mr.. Newlands may we'll pride himself
on his achievement and the Republi-
can party exult in the new page of
glory added to it's record. Diplomacy
and little bits" have triumphed. The
public may not be able to see where
it has gained, but such a detail must
not stand in the light Of so great a
victory. The mere fact that the new
tariff bill is to be made the basis of
agreement between factions that With
in the year babe each other farewell
forever. must not cast a shadow upon
the reconciliation. The public in politi-
cal warfare is, after all, minor factor
and its interests secondary. Politics,
as the science is understood by Mr..
Newlands and the Republicans, is a
matter Of diplomacy and little bits"

GEAR PACIFIC BILL.

hlX on the Measure.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-The sub
committee of the house committee on
Pacific railroads decided today to rec
ommend Senator Gears bill for a COM
mission to settle the Indebtedness to
the government of the Pacific railroads
The bill is subSita ntially the one pro-
posed by Representative Harrison, of
Alabama, and makes the secretaries Of
the treasury and interior, and the at
ney-general the commission. The
subcommittee added an amendment
t. have the commission report to con-
gress within one year after the pas
sage of the act.
The Republican senate steering COM
mittee today decided to make an effort
to secure consideration during the
present session of the Gear bill, and APP
pointed Senators Aldrich and Davis
subcommittee to confer with the Demo-
cratic steering committee on the sub
ject The proposition to recommend
the taking UP of the bill was not with
out opposition in the committee, but
majority expressed the opinion that the
bill should have consideration, if the
Democrats were favorably inclined.

1t VIII BE Forwarded to Caracas
by the Next Steamer.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Senor
Andrade the Venezuelan minister, was
i'll conference with Secretary Olney for
a half hour today. 1t is understood that
the treaty between Venezuela and
Great Britain, drawn up under the
heads agreed upon by Secretary Olney
and Sir Julian Pauncefote, is almost
completed, and probably will be signed
and sent to Venezuela, for the action of
that congress, ON the next mail steam
er, which leaves New York in a weeks
time. Such delay as has occurred in
completing the last stages of the nego-
tiations is due. it is gathered from
official sources, to the difficulty in Sc
Letting the British arbitrators. From
the aspect Of the matter today, how
ever, there is every reason to believe
that this will be arranged in the course
Of a very few days, and that no other
obstacle Of Importance will be encount-
cred in concluding the treaty.

ton came to vote. Next the senate

Miss Come is 2S years old and has
spent the last seven years in the cause
of home rule for Ireland and the
amnesty of Irish political prisoners.
Her father was Archibald Come,
Colonel in a regiment of British Dra-
goons and his daughter was reared in
circles which would naturally enlist her
sympathies with the British. During
the heat of the Land League agitation
she was driving in Ireland and saw a
family evicted in the rain, and from the
exposure the father of the family died
This enlisted her sympathies with the
cause of Ireland and she has spent
much of her fortune and all of her
time for the cause of ireland
