Moving with Caution.

Every side Of the Cuban question is be-
ing considered by President Mckinley
now. and course Of action is likely to be
indicated in the near future. The import
ance and gravity of the issues involved
and possible consequences Of mistake
are so great that the President and his
advisers are moving with the utmost
caution. as any judicious citizen would
do If such grave responsibilities were
placed upon his individual shoulders.

Good Prophets in the Northwest.

In Minnesota and other States of the
Northwest the spring opens with the
promise CT abundant crops. especially of
our leading staple. wheat. And in spite
of the low prices now prevailing there is
every ground. as shown elsewhere. for
believing that our farmers will realize
fairly good prices for their crops. This
will almost certainly stimulate the ac-
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
a restoration Of wholesome business con-
ditions. Minnesota. therefore. is in full
sympathy with the cheerful prognosti-
cations of Mr.. Gage.-St. Paul Pioneer
Press.

Antics of Jones, Vest, and Mills.

Senators Jones. Vest and Mills didn't
know it was loaded. They began shout
ing about a small advance of about per
cent. in the value of sugar trust stocks
simultaneously with settlement of the
sugar schedule by the final action upon
il 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 90 per cent.

sustain the chief theory of the free coin
age orators of last fall that prices Of
farm products kept pace with those of sill

creased in price from so to 100 per cent.
since this beautiful theory was exploited
on the stump last fall. while the price Of
silver has meantime STEADILY decreased.

From High Authority.

The statement of failures in May by
branches of business gives much encour-
agement. In amount of defaulted liabili-
ties the month was the smallest since
September, 1895. in manufacturing liza
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 as small in any month as
in May, 1897: in only two months out of
thrty-six have there been smaller failures
in books and hats: only five in groceries:
and not enc trading class in that month
has reported failures larger than the
half during preceding months. though in
furniture failures are rather numerous.
In clothing manufacture the month was
the smallest except four out of thirty
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 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
1t 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
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 ut hand.-Dun's
Review.

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 THAI
party in and out of Congress.

Most ENCOURAGING for Years.


In n broad way last week was one OF
the most encouraging in business circles
that this country has experienced for sew
cral years The general outburst of con-
fidence in financial circles was reflected
in the course of the stock markets. which
were bullsh from start to finish. The
reassuring utterances of the President
and the leading members of his cabinet
produced n very favorable impression;
but beyond that it was seen that number
of encouraging factors were in evidence.
II 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 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
Tribune (Rep).
