Most ENCOURAGING for Years.

In broad way last week was one of
the most encouraging in business circles
that this country has experienced for sew
eral years. The general outburst of con-
fidence in financial circles was reflected
in the course of the stock markets. which
were bullish from start to finish The
reassuring utterances of the President
and the leading members of his cabinet
produced very favorable impression;
but beyond that it was seen that number
of encourag ing factors were in evidence
1t was perceived that the price of iron
had gone up; that railroad earnings were
increasing: that money was in ample sup
ply for all legitimate purposes: that the
gold exports had dwndled to a mere moth
ing and that the prospects of speedy en-
actment of the tariff bill were daily grow
ing brighter. This induced buoyant
tone in the prices of all.-Minneapolis

Senators Jones, Vest and Mills didn't
know it was loaded They began shout
ing about small advance of about per
cent in the value of sugar trust stocks
smut a neously with a settlement of the
sugar schedule by the final action upon
it in the Senate caucus, but had evidently
forgotten that when the tariff bill was in
their own charge, in 1894, stocks of this
same sugar trust advanced So per cent
in value during their manipulation of the
bill.

Populfsts Want No Fusion.

Populist leaders are advising against
continuance of the fusion of last fall be-

In Minnesota and other States of the
Northwest the spring opens with the
promise of abundant crops. especially of
our leading staple. wheat. And in spite
of the low prices now prevailing there is
every ground, shown elsewhere. for
believing that our farmers will realize
fairly good prices for their crops This
will almost certainly stimulate the &C
tivity of trade and industry in the cities.
SO that by next fall. with the aid of the
new tariff. it is pretty safe to anticipate
restoration of wholesome business con-
ditions- Minnesota, therefore. is in full
sympathy with the cheerful prognosti-
cations of Mr.. Gage.-St. Paul Pioneer

ErOu1 High AUTHORITY

The statement of failures in May by
branches of business gives much encour-
agement- In amount of defaulted lahili-
ties the month the smallest since
September, 1895. in manufacturing Ha-
bilities the smallest since November, 1895,
and in trading liabilities the smallest
since September Excepting the last
month"; 1894. Failures of general stores
have not been small in any month as
in May, 1897; in only two months ont of
thirty-six have there been smaller failures
in books and hats: only five in groceries;
and not one trading class in that month
has reported failures larger than the
half during preceding months, though in
furniture failures rather numerous
In clothing manufacture the month was
the smallest except four out of thirty-six
except five in chemicals. six in wooden
goods. seven in machinery, lumber and
miscellaneous manufactures, and exceed
ed the average only in iron and cotton
goods and earthenware, owing to a few
failures of exceptional size. Nobody can
mistake the meaning of such returns.
The statement that, except for the tenn
porary depression in prices, the volume of
business transacted is now larger than
it was in 1S92-the year of greatest pros
perity-has been questioned by some. But
a comparison of prices this week in the
leading branches of manufacture not
only confirms that view, but shows a
remarkable similarity to the course of
prices in the earlier months of 1879. when
the most wonderful advance in production
and prices ever known in this or any
other country was close at hand--Dun' 5

Distressing to Political Enemies.
The absolute unanimity of purpose in
the Republican party and the solidity of
its ranks in the Senate is distressing its
political enemies greatly. The party
dissensions which they had expected TO
see crop out among the Republicans have
made their appearance on their own side
of the chamber, however. and this adds to
the distress of the handful of gentlemen
who assume to be the leaders of that
party in and out of Congress.

with the members of the Commercial

A practical illustration Of Chief JUS
tice Elect Frank Doster's theory, that
"the rights Of the user are paramount
to the rights of the owner, y is to be
made in the Kansas Legislature this
winter. Henry Mclean, Judge Dos
ter's law partner, has prepared a bill
providing for the sale Of lands not
used as homesteads upon demand
of those desiring such lands for home
stead purposes. Should the bill become
a law, no person in the state Of Kansas
would be able to hold more land than
he could occupy and use-that is, if any
other person having family desired to
take homestead out Of the surplus and
had money enough to pay for it.
The bill provides Nhat whenever a
man seeking homestead serves upon a
man holding more land than he can oc-

duly verified, that he is citizen Of the

poses tract of land not more than 100
acres in the country, or not more than
an acre in town, held but not used by
the man served with the declaration, it
shall be the duty of the latter to sell the
property.
The homestead seeker must make q
tender of the sum of money he thinks
the land is worth. If the price does not
suit the owner, he may refuse to accept
the offer. The homestead seeker may
then commence an action in the district
court to compel the landowner to make
the conveyance, depositing the amount
of the tender and 10 per cent additional
with the clerk. The cause shall be tried
by jury, as in other causes, and if the
jury finds that the facts set forth in the
petition and in the declaration are true
it shall decide in favor of the plaintiff,
and it shall also be the duty Of the jury
to fix the value of the land.
If the jury finds the value of the land
to be more than the amount rendered, ol
finds against the plaintiff on the facts,
the plaintiff shall pay the costs If the
jury finds for the plaintiff, the defend.
ant shall pay the costs. If the jury in
addition to finding for the plaintiff
finds the value more than the tender and
the plaintiff fails to pay the difference,
the plaintiff shall pay all costs. Women

the same rights under the proposed law
as men.-Kansas City Times.

TO CHANGE A TITLE.

The ONCE OF Secretary to the President
Is Now Misnsmed.
1t is proposed to change the title OF
the Office which the illustrious Mr..
Thurber holds by striking out the word
private" and calling him simply the
secretary Of the president. The sugges.
ton is under consideration by the mem.
bers of the senate committee on appro.
priations, who will probably make the
alteration in the Legislative appropria.
ton bill which is now before them.
When the president was first anthoriz-
ed to employ private secretary, the
title was appropriate. Now it is mis-
nomer and a Misrepresentation and de.
tracts from the dignity Of the Office.
Originally he performed the duties of o
private secretary, wrote the presidents
letters, served as an amanuensis and
looked after his personal affairs, in or.
der that the latter might have more
time to attend to his public duties, but
with the growth Of the country and the
corresponding increase Of executive bust.
ness the private secretary, 80 called, has
become sort Of assistant president and
the manager Of corps Of clerks whose
duties relate exclusively to public affairt
and have nothing whatever to do with
the private matters of the president
That is looked after by . younger man,
Q stenographer, who writes from hia
dictation, who is intrusted with his con.
6dence and transacts his personal busi.
ness under direct instruction.
Each head Of department, each SEN
ator and representative and all the lead
ing officials of the government, both in
Washington and elsewhere, have private
secretaries, like railway managers and
other men of large affairs and busy lives,
but, although these gentlemen are very
useful and competent, the duties of the
presidents secretary are very different
and place him far above their class. -
