Silver and Sugar Bects.

A year ago the whole nation was
convulsed over the proposition to
coin annually into dollars something
like hundred million dollars worth
of silver.
That same year we sent abroad
nearly two hundred million dollars
for sugar. And nobody thought
much about it.
We can't coin the silver, because
the majority said no. We can make
the sugar, though. Sugar, thank
God, is not in politics, not beet
ugar.--Stockton Mail.
If the sugar beet proposition ever
gets into politics, our Republican
friends will say: "What--take four
dollars worth Of sugar beets and
make eight dollars worth Of sugar
out Of them. Such thing is pre-.
posterous. 1t will flood the country
with cheap sugar and can't be done
unless. Of course, by international
agraement.-Appeal. -.

With the Speed o, the w,od.

Fifty years ago mail was carried on
horseback, and people thought moth
ing of waiting weeks for the delivery
of an important letter. But nowadays
steam cars are not fast enough. Only
recently New York City opened the
first section of pneumatic tube sys-
tenn, by means Of which mail is driven
with Lighting speed through long dis
tances of smooth brass tubing which
runs under the street surfaces. These
tubes are eight and one-eighth in
ches in diameter and polished smooth
inside and they run from the post
office to the Produce Exchange,
nearly three-quarters Of a mile. The
letters are carried in steel cylinders
about two feet long which are driven
through the tubes with compressed
air. The first thing sent through the
tube was a Bible wrapped in an
Anne rican flag. 1t made the rooud
trip In less thou five minutes, where
as by regular mail it would have re-
quired three hours and ten minutes
one way, or by messenger over half
an hour. -.
The tube system will be greatly
extended, and some day it may reach
from Chicago to New York. 80 that a
letter will pass between the cities in
an hour or two. A hundred years
ago if any one had suggested such a
thing he would have been laughed to
scorn, but in this day we are accus
toned to great achievements.

A STATE NATIONAL BANK.

The Nevada Bank and Sather Bank
OF San Francisco are to become Ma
tional banks on January L, 1857. 1t is
expected that Congress at the next
session will grant further privileges
to National banks, hence many banks
now conducted under State laws
intended to become National institu
tions.
2 1t is suggested that the State en-
gage in the National banking bust
ness. 1t has 100000 in United
States bonds in the vaults Of the
State Treasury. By depositing these
bonds with the Comptroller Of the
Currency at Washington and getting
q charter as National bank it will
get 80 percent of the value of the
bonds in National bank notes. These
notes the State can loan on good Sc
curity at the current rate of interest,
and at the same time receive from the
United States per cent interest ON
the bonds, just as at present. BY this
method it will get double interest on
the money invested-4 per cent from
the Government on the bonds and g.
8 and 10 per cent interest as the law
may provide. on the notes issued by
the Government to the bank. The
bonds cannot be taxed for State,
county or municipal purposes, and as
the State would receive interest ON
the bonds, as it does now, and interest
on the notes issued by the Govern
ment to the bank, it could afford to
loan money at a low rate Of interest,
or, il it charged current rates, reduce
taxation. .. .
OF course, legislation will be neces-
sary on the part of the State before it
can engage in the banking business
but it has the necessary capital in
United States bonds and it might as
well avail itself Of the opportunity
which the general Government af-
fords capital to increase it's value, by
engaging in the National banking
busln sss. BY incorporating under
the banking law and depositing $780,
600 in bonds with the Treasury De-
partment it can get 80 per cent on
the face value of bonds, that is. $780,
600 in bank notes, which it can loan
to residents of the State ON good Sc
curity and make money enough to
run the State Government.
1t is very probable that Mr.. Reeds
Congress, at the ensuing session, will
endeavor to retire Rreenbacks, 80 that
National banks alone can issue paper
money, and that the banks will receive
notes up to the full par value of the
bonds which they deposit in the
Treasury, there may be greater in
ducements = - --ese mentioned for
the State to open National bank

Good story on senator glkips.


st. Louis Globe Democrat: When
a man comes to Washington direct
from his law office, his bank or his
counting room to assume charge OF
a department of the government, he
is in danger Of acquiring distorted
and exaggerated views of things, es-
pecially during the period when his
position and responsibilities are new
to him. Senator Elkins the other
day went in to see member of the
cabinet who was still feeling some
what the novelty of his surroundings.
The senator recommended bright
young LAWYER for a position that was
about to be filled. The secretary
asked a lot of questions about age
and experience, wrinkled his brow,
thought awhile, and said the candi-
date wasn't big enough for the place.
'But you can't expect to get Joe
Choate for $4,000 year." argued
the senator.
NO" said the secretary, that is
true. This, however, is very inn
portant position.
He went on to describe ideal quail
iiications for the appointment. SEN
ator Elkins heard him to the eud,
and then blurted out in his hearty
way;
MAN alive! You can't expect to
get person like that for place
like this. Why, such a man wouldn't
touch your own job. He wouldn' {
have seat in the cabinet. He can

ALARM IN WALL STREET.

New YORK, June 20.-The feeling
is very feverish. Only the fact that
this was Sunday ayerted a panic. AT
the clubs and other resorts nothing
was discussed during the day but the
impending resignation of Congressman
Dayton, of West Virginia There
are grave fears that all securities will
receive a shock tomorrow and that
bears will have the upper hand in the
market. A dispatch received by several
leading financiers from Secretary Gage
tonight conveying the information
that the administration was negotia-
ting with Dayton, had soothing eff
feet. 1t is believed that if conserva-
tive financiers will keep cool heads at
the opening of the market tomorrow
a panic can be averted. In the mean
time all the wires between New York
and Philadelphia are kept hot.

THE NEWS AT WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, June 0.-Speaker
Reed was seen at the Shoreham to-
night. He was in conversation with
Joe Cannon, John Dalzell, Dave Hen
derson and Serene Payne. Gov Ding
ley had just telephoned for the latest
news. The speaker looked careworn
and sad. There was a bunch of tele-
grams from Philippi on the table in
front of him, and all contained the
information that Daytons deter
mination to resign was irrevocable.
Joe Cannon has just offered to waive
his right to the craftsmanship of the
appropriations committee in Dayton's
favor if the distinguished West Vir-
ginia statesman and patriot will only
withhold his resignation, There were
grave fears that if Dayton persists in
resigning the tariff bill will fail in con-
ference, and that the party will go
to pieces. 1t has been well under
stood for some time that Dayton was
the controlling influence back of the
Speaker and the possibility of his
resignation has unnerved Mr.. Reed.

The Board of Regents of the Uni
versity at it's last meeting took adj
vanced grounds in providing for the
corps of cadets. This will be APP
proved by majority of the people
of the State. Those cadets are i'm
portant factors in the University,
and the corps has not received that
support from the legislature hereto
fore. to which it was entitled, and
we are glad the Board has found a
way to make liberal provisions at
this time. There is one thing we do
not understand. A rumor has reached
us that to provide uniforms for the
cadets the money is to be drawn
from the small appropriation made
by the legislature for the National
Guards. Under the new military
law and some orders issued pursu-
ant thereto, this might be done, but
we doubt the policy and we are sure
it would be an act of the greatest in
justice to the guards. The appropria-
ton is now so small that it is highly
probable that no encampment will
be held this year and the companies
badly needed to complete the organ
ization, cannot be equipaed. We
trust this attempt will not be made,
for if it is, it will be opposed all over
the state and enemies to the Univer-
sity will be made from those who are
now, and have been, it's warmest
friends. The friends of the National
Guards will not quietly submit to
what they consider an outrage upon
the men who for so long have given,
practically free, their services to the
State.-Inder

MIR. BRYAN HEARS THE NEWS.

YAzoo, Miss, jane 20.-Hon. VIM.
j. Bryan, who is on his way to Cali
fornia, was interviewed on board a
train here today regarding the report
ed intention of Congressman Dayton,
of West Virginia. to resign his seat
in congress because of the refusal of
the President to appoint Tom Davis a
collector of internal revenue. Mr..
Bryan had bunch of dispatches in his
hand which he had received fromChair-
man Jones, of the Democratic COM
mittee, and Col. John L. McGraw, the
National committeeman from West
Virginia. 1t was easy to see that
Bryan was pleased, although he ex-
pressed himself in very diplomatic
language. 'eThe resignation of Mr.
Dayton, "said he, sis the hardest blow
the Republicans have received this
year. Nothing can now prevent the
passage of free coinage bill by con-
gress, and without Dayton's force and
great personality behind the Presi-
dent, | don't see how he can get up
backbone enough to veto it. In the
meantime all talk of returning pros
perity is now absurd. How can Nc

THE ARTFUL DODGER,
Now You See Free River and Now You
Don't See II.

The transfer of the improvements
ON the Monongahela river to the
government promises to be delayed
for some time by dispute involy-
ing the sum of 5000 The Monon-
gahela Navigation company has no
title to the land upon which lock
No is built. When the lock was
built the owner of the property
agreed to take 5000 for the real es-
tate The company built the lock
without getting title, and in the
course of time the owner of the
property died. His heirs demanded
800 for the property before they
would sign the deed, and the navi-
CATION company offered them $500.
This was refused, and the case went
to cosrt 1t is on the trial list in
Waynesburg this week, and it is
said that both sides threaten to APP
peal it, if they lose. The government
refuses to pay for the property until
it can get clear title, and so free
river is delayed on account of a pet
ty 5000.
The rivermen went to see Presi
dent J. J. Donnell, of the Naviga-
ton company, who blandly suggest.
ed that they could raise the 5000
and the Navigation company would
pay its original offer of $500 and
thus the case could be settled The
rivermen, so the story goes, said
some very uncomplimentary things
about the president of the Naviga-
tion company. but agreed TO do
this, and sent committee TO see
the company's attorney. He init
mated with some emphasis that they
were meddling in other peoples bus
mess, and the trial of the case at
Waynesburg will go on. If the YER
diet satisfies both parties, and the
loser does not appeal, the deed can
be had soon. Otherwise the pro-
ceedings may stretch out to an in
terminable length 1t is said that
the rivermen would willingly pay
the 5000 in order to have the river
free, since they are paying far more
than that amount each week, in tolls,
even with the small amount of bust
ness now on hand,
In this connection, it is said that
Attorney John McCleave got $4,000
for his work before the board of
viewers. OF course this cannot be
verified by either Mr.. McCleave or
the officials of the Navigation com
pany, but it comes pretty straight.
1t shows that the company is well
satisfied with the amount of the
award. When an attorney picks up
a fee equal to the salary of the pres
dent of the United States for year,
for few weeks work, his clients
must certainly regard his services as
satisfactory PittsJurg Neios

AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-The cabi-
net was in almost continuous session
all day, and it was evident that the
serious state of affairs at Philippl had
for the time being dwarfed interest
in Cuba and Hawaii, Mr.. Calhoun, who
was sent TO Cuba to look into the sit
uation there, was at the White House
for an hour, and it is understood that
he will be dispatched to Philippi to-
night as the bearer Of a special mes
sage to Mr.. Dayton. The nature of
the communication could not be learn
ed, but an influential Republican
senator who conyersed with a cabinet
officer late tonight said that Mckinley
had concluded to send word to Day
ton that he would not be candidate
for reelection, and that Dayton could
have the support of the administra-
ton for the Presidency in 1900 if he
would withhold his resignation at this
time. 1t is well understood that if
Mr.. Dayton persists in resigning it
will be impossible to marshal the Re-
publican party in solid phalanx for
another national contest.

No more can either ring the changes

joke about the man who wanted to goto

rected TO the B. & O. station, for the
work of Strengthening the curves,
which were at once the delight and
the horror of all through passengers
on the picturesque b. x or is about
concluded, and the trip through the
mountains no longer reminds one of
crossing the English channel on par
ticularly rough day.
This will be welcome news to the
general public and to b. & o. enthu
siasts-people who would not take
any other route to their destination if
the b. & 0. would possibly serve
them. These are mostly passionate
admirers of natural scenery, to whom
the gigantic panorama along the B. &
O. route can never become stale In
deed, why should it, when it is never
twice the same? Scenery on a scale
of such immensely is like the ocean in
its susceptibility to change. Not only
with the seasons; but with the days,
does its beauty vary. And even
through a summer day it is never the
same scene an hour at a time. Like
a kaleidoscope, which the slightest al
teration in position occasions a totally
new view, so the forests and the
mountains along the scenic route as
sumo wholly new appearances with ev-
cry passing cloud and every weather
condition.
Now that the exaggerated bug bear
of the b. & o. curves has been finally
disposed Of, and its road bed made sec
ond to none, the excellence of its
equipment and the peculiarly ''make-
yourself-comfortable- we'll-do every
we-can-for-you" atmosphere which
surrounds the traveller the instant he
steps aboard through train on this
road will shortly double and treble the
number of b. & O. enthusiasts, to

PUBLIC MEN AND FINANCIERs VERY
MUCH ALARMED.

MUCH ALARMED.
LONDON, June 20.-Lord Salisbury,
minister of foreign affairs, and Joseph
Chamberlain, colonial minister, spent
several hours today in Downing street
discussing the news from Phillppi.
Several dispatches were received from
Sir Julian Paunceforte conveying the
news that Mr.. Dayton had absolutely
refused to reconsider his intention to
resign. Col, Jonn Hay, the American
ambassador, called in the evening and
said President Mckinley had decided
to send a special commissioner to
treat with Dayton and there was still
a hope that the calamity of his resig-
nation might be averted. After much
telegraphic correspondence between
Lord Salisbury, the Prince of Wales,
Queen Victoria and Special Ambassa-
dor Reid, it was decided not to post
pone the Jubilee ceremonies. The
Times, discussing the affair, says:
sour trans atlantic cousins are never
tired of making sensations. The
news from West Virginia, the capital
of the State Of Philippi, is very grave,
but We will continue to hope for the
best
