AGE OF MONARCHS.

Victoria's g reign has been remark
able long one for modern times. AS a
rule the monarchs of Europe, Asia and
Africa not only do not attain very
great age, but their reigns are compar-
atively short. Victoria's record of
sixty years is longer than that of any
of England's rulers, although George
III came very near to reaching sixty
years. At the present day only one OF
the European rulers approaches any
where near to Queen Victoria in length
of reign. Francis Joseph, Emperor of
Austria, ascended the throne in 1848
when he was eighteen years of age.
He has consequently reigned forty
nine years and is today sixty-seven
years of age.
Christian TX, King of Denmark, was
born in 1878, just one year lacking
month before Victoria, but he has
reigned a comparatively short time,
having ascended the thrown in 1863 at
the age of forty-ive years. These two
are the only rulers in Europe who
have attained great age and have also
ruled for many years. There are sew
eral princes, who are older than Vic
toria, but as rule they have not been
at the head of their small kingdoms
for few years. The emperor of Ger
many, the car of Russia, the king of
Spain, the king of Portugal, are all
young men and have reigned only
short time. The king of Belgium is
sixty-two years of age and has been on
the thrown for thirty-two years. The
The sultan of Turkey and King Hum
bert of Italy are but fifty-three years
old. None of these are at all likely to
live to celebrate the sixtieth anniver-
sary of their accession to the throne,
as they were all well along in years
when they become rulers.

THAT VAUN1,ED PROSPERITY
Some of the trade journals and not
a few partisan papers are endeavoring

Some of the trade journals and not
few partisan papers are endeavoring
to brace up business by repeated as
sertions that times are improving, but
stern facts do not bear them out in
their statements, nor do even some of
the most faithful supporters of the "ad-
vance agent" lend their testimony to
the improvement of business. MIR.
Wanamaker says the outlook is not
propitious, and ex-senator John. G.
Ingalls,, or Kansas, after having
travelled almost all over the United
States finds little evidence of the re-
turn of prosperity. He was in Wash
ington the other day and submitted to
an interview by an Evening Star Re-
porter, and here is what he said:
'Since the election in November, I
have been in all parts of the country.
from San Francisco to Boston, from
Montreal to Atlanta, and it is the in
current testimony that times have
never been harder nor money scarcer
than now. Every branch of industry
languishes. Rents, incomes, interests
and profits have dwindled. Prices of
land, farm products and general COM
modities have sunk lower and lower,
till in many localities the most valu-
able improved farms in rich regions
are absolutely unstable. Nature has
been very beneficient, hervests abund-
ant. There has been the early and
the later rain, the Mississippi valley is
burdened with cribbed corn, crop pros
poets were never better, skilled and
crude labor are plenty, the equipment
of machinery is unrivaled. We have
all the conditions for good times but
they linger. Possibly they are coming
but they are not here. Many will not
be able to wait much longer for their
arrival. Multitudos have already fall
len from affiuence to need, and many
other multitudes have sunk from COM
fort to penury and want of daily
bread.'
Touching the effect of this condition
upon the political future of the conn
try and of parties, Mr.. Ingalls, said:
1.-The people are patient, they are ra-
tional. They don't expect miracles,
but they are tired of adversely. They
are not looking for the miraculous
draught of these fishes and of change
of water into wine, but they want to
see credit and business raised from the |
dead. They would like to have idle |
men, who are willing to work, earning |
wages. 1t does not console them to be
told that there is surplus of money |
in banks to loan at small interest. |
They don't want to borrow money, but
to sell corn. The man who mortgaged
his farm would like to have it sell for
enough at least to pay the debt.

THE FUTURE OF HAWAII.

Those who oppose the annexation of
Hawaii should state their position def
initely. 1t will no longer serve the
purpose to speak vaguely on the sub
ject. All who think that the little
republic in the Pacific should he left
to shift for itself should say so; and
those who favor some kind of protec-
torate by this country should define it,
and declare how far we should be
willing to go to defend it. In the past
we have saved the islands from the
dominion of England and of France.
Our interposition meant war If our
protest had been disregarded. Twice
within the past five years Hawaii has
offered to annex itself to the United
States. A change of administration
four years ago defeated the movement
at that time. The second offer is be-
fore the senate in the form of treaty
that will complete the annexation if
that body approves it. There are some
who favor its rejection, and as the
affirmative side have stated precisely
what they propose, their opponents
should announce their views with ex-
actness. Foggy ideas of control with
out ownership will not answer. The
time has come to act, for or against,
and to drop uncertain generalities.
One imminent danger in Hawaii is
that its population may become Mon
golianized. Too many Chinese and
Japanese immigrants have already set
tied there. According to the Hawai-
ian census of the present year the jap
anese plumber 1922 and the Chinese
10. 1877 in a total population of 100000.
More than half the male population is |
Mougolian. Recently the government |
.,f Hawaii excluded certain japanese
immigrants taken to Honolulu by a |
Japanese steamship, and this Is the |
ground on which Japan demands an
indemnity. If the republic of Hawaii
is not strong enough to follow the ex-
ample of this country in shutting off a
horde of Asiatic immigrants 1t will be ]

The Ladies and Babies Welcomed the Boy

DENVER, Colo, June 30.-A special
to the Times from Cheyenne, Wyo.,
says:
William Jennings Bryan arrived
here On his Western tour at o'clock
this morning, Men, women and chill
dren thronged the sidewalks leading
toward the spot. After breakfast
Bryan was introduced to the crowd
and made speech. He said he did
not visit the West in the last cam
paign. as he was firmly convinced that
such action was not necessary. He
had found that those states he had
failed to visit were the ones in which
the cause of silver triurnphed, while
those in which he spoke were carried
by the enemy. He said the cause of
silver, in apparent defeat, was never
stronger,

NEW YORK, July LA special to
the Herald from Washington says:
"The governments financial affairs
are in good shape,' said Secretary
Gage in an interview. "We have
come to the end of the fiscal year
with good reserve behind us and
brighter hopes for the future. + feel
assured that by the time June 80, 1898
rolls around the governments affairs
will be in better condition; while the
people of the country will have cause
for thankfulness that a new era Of
prosperity has set in,
"With the end of the fiscal year
1896, one year ago., continued Mr..
Gage, 1.-THE gold reserve was only $102,-
100000, or just barely above the
theoretical reserve of 100000. 900.
There was fear that before the year
was over there might be very large
exports, compelling the administration
to again issue bonds for gold. Now
we not only have gold reserve of
$141, 900, 900, but there is not cloud
in sight as to its continuance approxi-
mately at that very comfortable level.
This is the most hopeful sign that see
in the present condition of the govern
ment finances, for when the country
is all right and the government all
right, the gold reserve is sure to be all
right, and vice versa.
"At the end of this fiscal year, look
ing over the official statement which
had been on my desk, the condition OF
the government is all that could be
desired. There is no trouble with the
gold reserve, that barometer Of conf
dence. The business men, capitalists,
and investors. not only OF our own
country, but of the world, are content
with our situation and prospects. All
the nervousness which formerly held
us in its tolls has disappeared. In its
place we have confidence in the future,
in the government, and
in ourselves. The hoard |
ing of gold has stopped, and much OF
the yellow metal that was piled away |
during the depression has come out
and gone into circulation"

yIDENOE OF UNREST.


Laborers throughout the land. es-
pecially those working in Eastern
mines and factories, have just cause
for complaint at the nonarriyal OF the
good times promised them last fall, so
soon as the result OF the election
should be made known, and no one
can blame them for registering Wig
orous kick whenever they are thrown
out of employment or have their wages
reduced. But such displays of temper
as were shown in Pennsylvania the
other day by 300 employees OF the Air
Brakes who Works were discharged. is
hardly excusable.
The pictures of President Mckinley
were torn down and trampled under
foot by the discharged iaborers, who
by the way were among the excursion
lists who viaited Canton last October
and shouted themselves hoarse cheer
ing for the gold standard and the for
runner of prosperity. In their demon
strations in Pennsylvania last week,
when they received their notice OF
dismissal because of the dull times,
they became enraged, declaring that
the promised prosperity "had not ma.
terialized," and that they "had been
fooled again." One man, who had put
up some banners as relics of the cam
paign, started stampede for their re-
moval. He said. pointing to one ban
ner, "this is fake" and pulled it
down. A picture of prosperity was re-
moved next. 1t was scene OF Nc
Kfnley pulling back curtain and
showing mill in full operation. On
the other side was scene of foreign
countries bringing their silver to the
United States mints. The picture was
the result of President McKinley's
declaration that it would be better to
open the mills than the mints OF the
United States.
Such demonstrations as this do no
material good. but rather bring
the laborers into disrepute, never
theless it is an evidence of unrest
and disappointment that will grow
into greater magnitude if the promised
changes do not materialize. What
the outcome will eventually be no one
can foretell. LaboriDg men were prom
ised more employment and an increase
of wages with change of the admin
istration, and had right to expect it.
But when those promises are not full
filed. though on the contrary, they
are either deprived of employment or
are forced to submit to a decrease of
wages, they become desperate. Every
man is entitled to an opportunity to
earn living, and when deprived OF
this, he has no patience with those
whom he believes are responsible for
his misfortuues.

Government Troops Be gin a Decisive Fight
Against Fanatics.
NEW YORK, June photographic
advices have been received from the
Herald's correspondent in Rio de
Janeiro to the effect that General
Oscar, commander of the government
troops had commenced a decisive at
tack against the fanatics. The attack
was generally on careful plans. Where
ever possible artillery was turned up
on the fanatics, entrenchme nts were
destroyed, and great loss of life is re-
ported in official dispatches. The
rebels, it is reported, yielded before
the federal troops at several points.
Details of the battle have not yet been
received.
Twenty Thousand persons were in
parade to the tomb of Marechel
Peixoto. The occasion was the an
niversary of Peixoto's death.

Coal Rate Was Fixed.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-The senate
committee on finance has fixed the
duty on coal at 81 cents per long ton.
This rate applies only to coal shipped
from countries which do not impose a
higher rate on American coal. It.,
therefore, affects only Canada, the
Canadian rate on American coal being
the sane.
The committee decided to restore
paintings to the dutiable list. The
house imposed duty of 25 per cent ad
valorem on paintings.
Crude gypsum rock was taken from

COLUMBUS, o., June 3d. Tue
democratic state convention here to-
day was the most largely attended of
any since the civil war. Tho new
Columbus auditorium, with seating
capacity of COCO, was not equal to the
demand for admission. The audi
torium was beautifully decorated.
There was also a living white rooster
perched on the stage to add to the en-
thusiasm.
The greatest demonstration of the
morning occurred when Sloane, in
speech, referred to William Jennings
Bryan as the leader of the silver cause
for 1900, and it was with this climax
that the speaker closed his keynote
speech.

temporary chairman. A large gold
cross having as ornaments crown of
thorns and clock indicating 16 min
utes to ! o'clock formed the center
piece among the floral designs about,
the stage. Chairman Sloane in q ges-
ture pointed to it with great effect as
he proceeded with his vigorous speech.
General A. J. Warner, as chairman
of the committee on resolutions, re-
ported the platform, which was loudly
