The condition Of the public pulse IN re-
gard to mining Investments is ALWAYS a
matter of interest, more especially when
the gold mines Of California are the sub
5ect of dissertation. The News Letter.
with its usual frankness, speaking Of the
efforts made to boom the gold mining
schemes SO frequently brought to the sur
face in this state, says:
Outside of private enterprise, which is
slow enough, and the one or two large
mines going in full blast. investment IN
California gold mines is not what people
might infer from the rose-tinted narra-
tives which appear continuously Of sales.
The names of certain properties here be-
come like houserold words, and prospec-
fuses are hawked around from office to
Office with freedom which does anything
but benefit the reputation Of the mines.
Xlning engineers who have yet to win
s.leir spurs as successful guarantors in
effeoting q sale. are as plentiful as the
ubiquitous promoters, but everything goes
now, II seems, In this line of business. The
only scarcity noted in the way Of making
up the deficiency is the supply Of men with
money, and people are beginning to wonder
why they do not come along to pick UP the
good things tied up in their behalf. Eng
liuh and continental money u plentiful,

The Eoxy SpaniardS.

We direct attention to the statements
copied elsewhere on this page from the
Washington correspondence of Walter
Welman. They derive their import
ance not a little from the man who
communicates them. Mr.. Wellman Is
rarely deceived into publishing false
news. His general reputation as
journalist is a sufficient assurance that
he has printed this story of Spain's
duplicity in good faith and upon au-
thorlty which commands his respect.
1t has in a general way long been the
public impression that in artifices OF
strategic diplomacy Spain has enjoyed
throughout the Cuban controversy
decided advantage over the United
States. Her minister at Washington,
Senor Depuy de LONE, has apparently
handled this administration as he
pleased. The one branch of our gov
eminent with whom he at first seemed
unable to cope-congress-be rendered
fer the time powerless by deXterous
substitution of issues, achieved over
Secretary Olneys head. If the Cubans
had had one-third the strategy en-
ployed in their behalf that has been
put forth to enable the executive
branch of the American republic to
evade the wishes of the American peo-
pie in this matter, Cuba would today
be an Independent state. one IS really
forced to bow homage to the magniti-
cence of the Spanish minister's adroit-
ness at intrigues
The purpose of it all, of course, has
been to gain delay. This has been
achieved 50 far as President Cleveland
is concerned. Will it also be true with
reference to President Mckinley? In
other words, is the cause of Cuba to
be permanently sacrificed through
American ingenuousness?

Inordinate Court Costs.

The Luzerne county grand jury last
week returned to court the following
recommendation:
In regard to the enormous amount OF
Justices and constables' costs collected
from the county, the grand jury believes
that much of this ought to be saved If the
committing magistrates were required to
exert more effort to secure payment OF
costs in petty cases, before returning them
to court. They recommend that this
subject be urged before the legisla-
ture so that the laws may be amended in
this respect and also that better means be
provided for cutting down unreasonable
charges through multiplying the causes
of actions.
This recommendation was in response
to the recent remarks of Judge Lynch
who directed the grand iury's attention
to the fact that the auditors report for
1895 shows payments of over $66,O0O in
that one year in Luzerne county for JUS
tees and constabes' fees. 1t deserves
to be said that the figures for Lacka-
wanna while much smaller, are yet far
beyond reason and add emphasis to the
call for reform.
1t has been suggested that the quickest
way to solve this problem is to pass a
law authorizing the placing on the COM
mitting magistrate of all costs in ig-
nored cases. This is of course not pro-
posed seriously but it is evident that
if serious effort be not soon made to
checkmate the legal harpies who fatten
on the ignorance of the foreign ee-
ment in these counties and inordinately
expand the county expense accounts,
the public will one day rise in wrath
and apply drastic remedies.

The Failures of 1896.

A classified record of the commercial
failures of 1896 has been prepared by
Dun's agency. 1t enables some inter-
esting comparisons to be made. The
failures of 1896 numbered 15OSS with
liabilities of $226 096, S34, exceeding those
of any other year except 1893 when
there We're 15,242 commercial failures
with liabilities of $346, $3.50. The
banking failures of 1896 We're 19S with
liabilities of $50, us, 915. In 1895 the COM
mercial failures We're 1897 and the
liabilities $173, ,196,06O
The commercial failures of 1896 aver
aged $l4,992 apiece; the banking fail
ures, $26l 106. BY means of a system
of classification it appears that the
manufacturing failures of last year
averaged $2S,SO6, against S2S,053 in 1895;
While in trading the average was &c.,
GO6 against $S,9S4 in 1895 and in brok-
erS' and other commercial failures not
included in the foregoing general heads
the average was $5S,44S against $780,
29G in 1880 The average banking fail
ure in 1895 was only $l56, 9OO
Thus it appears that the principal rea-
son of 1865 bad showing was because
of increased speculation, that causing
by far the greater part of the banking
and brokerage mishaps The fact that
1896 was presidential year with an
issue that greatly menaced business
stability must be taken into large ac-
count.
In this connection the Railway Ages
statistics of railway receiverships and
foreclosures have interest. They are
conveniently tabulated as follows:

SUGGESTIVE FIGURES.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the ChlCuSO TTlDune.
Man is the slave of his heredity, the
prisoner of his environments. The an
nual consumption of alcohol in this coun-
try amounts to $l,2OO,0O0, 600; of cigars and
tobacco in other forms, 5000. 600 900; a total
of Sl,S000OO,000 There are 1000 saloons in
Chicago. Averaging their receipts at $4,000
each, it shows total of $2l, 100000, 95 per
cent. of which is paid by those who toll
with their hands. The wage-workers
spend about $685. 1000 a year on intoxi-
eating liquors, and 100000, 900 on nicotine.
This deadly drain on earnings is only part
of the harm done. The rest consists OF
moral deterioration, physical and mental
degeneracy, fault-fnding, discomfort, de-
struction of Industrious inclinations, and
general goodfor- nothingness.

say that efforts are being made, through
various channels, commercial political
and other, to induce the Mckinley adj
mnistration to follow precisely In the

foot to commit the United states just far

his support therefrom

1t will be noticed that liabilities of
defaulting railroads have been larger
in the past four years than in the pre-
ceding nine years. Railroad defaults
alone in 1896 slightly exceeded CONNER

closure sales in 1896 covered one-fifth
of the defaulted stocks and bonds for
the past twenty-one years. 1t is the

Governor Hastings objections to TAX
ing the National Guard of Pennsyl-

auguration ceremonies at state expense
are certainly well founded. SO is his de-
cision that "the guard will not attend
the Inauguration unless there is a prac-
tcally unanimous sentiment among
them favorable to it, and unless the
troops are willing to subslst themselves,
and to put up with the quarters which
may be assigned them by the inaugural
committee, and unless the railroads are
willing to pay them the compliment
of transporting them to Washington
and return free of charge" There is
getting to be entirely too much red
tape about the installation into office of
our successive presidents. 1t is time to
call halt.

The board OF law examiners of this
county will meet soon for reorganization
and the adoption of a course of study
which Will be the basis of the examina
tions of candidates for admission to the
bar and for permission to study law. 1t IS
thought that a course will be mapped out
more nearly approaching the standard
in New York and New Jersey than the
present one does. There is belief in legal
circles that 1t is too easy to become
lawyer in Pennsylvania ana there has
been for several years a tendency all over
the state on the part of the more promi-
nent members of the various bars to en-
deavor to change the courses of study
with a view to requiring more thorough
preparation on the part of those who seek
to practise law. In sympathy with that
purpose 1t is probable that the Lackawan-
ma examiners will map out radically diff
ferent course of study.
