CONSUIS' FEES,
| spect.

1t is not surprising that the woud-be
conauls are com planning of the reduction
in fees made by Secretary Olney, but it is
not likely that Secretary Sherman will
pay the slightest attention to them.
These reductions consist in cutting off
fees that are not merely unnecessary but
also illegal, and which have been little
short of swindle. The fees were col
lected for oaths to invoices; the consul
made an arrangement with foreign COM
missioners to administer the oaths, he
divided the fees of which no report was
made to the United States government,
Secretary Olney abolished the oaths and
the fees with them. 1t is natural that the
carnivorous creature known as U. s.
consul should OBJ jeot to having his appe-
tite curbed to this extent, but as the i'm.
porter had to pay 81 for every 81 the
consul got, and as the oath was not at all
requisite, the consul's desire will no doubt
go unheeded. Mr.. Sherman is hardly the
man to take the responsibility for re-
wing an utterly bad practice.

GOVERNOR STEPHENS, of Missouri, tele-
graphed to Louis Klopsch, of New York,
recently that his state could be relied
upon to furnish ship load of provisions
for the starving poor of India, and that
the only obstacle in the way was the mat
ter of transportation. Judging from the
report of high water in the Mississippi,
there should be no difficulty at all In

THE MONETARY COMMISSION.

President Mckinley has named the
international monetary commission. 1t
consists of Senator Wolcott, ex-Vice-
President Stevenson and Gen. Charles j.
Paine of Boston. In many respects the
commissioners have been wisely selected.
They are fair-minded men, of excellent
judgment and wide experience on the
subject with which they are TO cope, and
are no doubt capable of accomplishing
such results as are possible from the
existing condition of affairs. The first
work of the commissioners no doubt will
be in the direction of organizing an
international monetary conference, upon
some basis that will prevent repetition
of the uselessness that has resulted from
previous attempts of this character. Lack
of effective organization has always been
a serious drawback in conferences of this
kind attempted heretofore, but the per
sonnet of the present commission gives
assurance of an improvement in this re-
! spect.

A FOREIGN PROTEST.

"The Dingley Tariff Bill and the Neither
lands" is the title of a pamphlet recently
issued, protesting against the proposed
Republican tariff. Az it defends the in
terest Of Holland in the matter of tariff
legislation, it is only fair to presume that
the work emanated from the Dutch min.
lister at Washington. The little pamph-
let is couched in terse, plain, but dignified
language, and contains a good many
threats and criticisms by ndirection.
For this reason it is less offensive than
some OF the protests which have been
sent out since the Republicans commenced
revision of the present tariff.
Notwithstanding this fact, when we read
such expressions as "killing and manning
trade" and encounter such hints as
'the Netherlands, will have to pay more
and more the United States in their own
railroad securities" we feel that it is
time to reiterate the oft stated doctrine
that this country is not in existence
for the purpose of promoting the trade
of other nations. This country has never
yet asked any foreign government to in
vest in American securities. They can
take them or let them alone just as they
choose. There is no compulsion, and
no charity in the matter. 1t is business
proposition all the way through. For
eigners take our securities because they
find the Investments profitable, not be-
cause they are American, or because they
want to help America. It seems super
fluous to say that the United States de-
sire to be on friendly terms with all the
nstions Of the earth, and that they also
desire to extend commercial relations
everywhere. But after all, it is our own
trade, and our own domestic industries
that we are chiefly concerned in, for the
promotion of which form Of govern
ment is maintained.
European nations make laws for their
own benefit. We hardly expect them TO
consider the commercial interests OF this

As TO the coming mining boom in this
territory, and it's surely coming, az sure
as the night follows the day, the Denver
Republican remarks editorially:
"a mining excitement caused by dis
coveries Of gold in New Mexico would bt
welcomed by the people of Colorado al
most as much az If the discoveries were
made in this state. What the mining in
dustry of the west needs is an awakening
OF interest ia mining investments, which
would be caused by an excitement in New
Mexico. That territory undoubtedly
contains good deposits of gold ore, and !,
is possible that some of it's camps viii
develop bonanza Mines"
