for man who has made himself prom

relief of Armenians and identifies him

like. DR.. Angel cannot command the
distinguished consideration of his royal
nibs and at the same time in an inter-
view in an American newspaper declare
that the Unspeakable Turk should be
wiped from the face Of the earth and
Christian Greece be saved as the salt Of
the earth. And so Turkeys minister at
Washington posts Constantinople as to
Mr.. Angel and his civilized vagaries
about missionaries and his prejudice
against maintaining harems. In short,
the doctor aired himself entirely too
freely for a successful modern diplomat
wherein the sole qualifications are
smartness and hypocrisy. The man
who is incapable of belittling every
thing western and of languidly lauding
all that is oriental will, as a diplomat,
meet anything but warm reception on
the banks of the Bosphorus. The au-

Witnessing base bail game TO any

filling for bitches over which might
pass wagon trains, can never be salts
fed by the ordinary methods Of argu-
ment. The valor Of the soldier is great;
| the man who can take his life in his
hand is hero. The true soldier is the
unselfsh patriot scarce to be reckoned
with in mental processes, yet veuched
for in the worlds history by the legion.
But why should such sacrifice be called
for?
The question can only be answered
in generalization. Whether we look to
sacred or profane history, the answer
seems to be that war has been a neces-
sity The sword of the great Constan-
tine did more TO give Europe the herit-
age of Christianity than the tongue of
the Great Apostle. Again, history
points to the conclusion that wars are
to the nations what eruptions are to
the blood of individuals; that blood let
ting solves the question of our popula-
ton; that, the tumult and disorder of
war brings into utiliry-the best of the
nations great intellect; that long peri
DDS OF peace tend to RIGHTEOUSNESS and
senility, from which only war has serv-
ed to awaken and insure a new lease
of national life 1t is not to be disputed
that great evils accompany and follow
wars: however. they seem 10 have the
effect that thunderstorms do, relieve the
air Of impurities. Full of interest and
instruction is the history of wars and
warfare Nations that have been great
in peace have likewise been great in
war;
War may look useless: in dollars 1t
may not be figured out but that cit cost
more than it comes to-" Yet this flies
in the face Of history. Nations have
been greatest when they showed their
greatest heroism on the battlefield.
"Peace hath her victories no less than
war;" but peace breeds evils worse
than war. 1t may be said: 1T should
have been otherwise but it was not
otherwise. We must take things as we |
find them.

MR.. CAGES TALK.

Dun dispatches Of yesterday morning
In announcing the return of Secretary
of the Treasury Lyman Gage from the
commercial banquet, given by Cincin-
natl, represent Mr.. Gage as saying that
as soon as the tariff question was out
of the way the currency question would
be taken up and settled. 1t was addi-
tionally stated that Mr.. Cages observa-
ton strengthened the stock and money
markets perceptibly.
Without stopping to discuss the why
Of a single remark being made by an
individual should brace UP the financial
situation of an entire country, we will
venture the remark that the people OF
this country have been convinced for
long time that the Republican party
must do something with the currency
question or otherwise some other party
will. That something will have TO be
more than mere talk.
The troubles OF these times come
largely from the holders and owners OF
idle money, or, rather, it is because OF
them that there are not better times.
The value Of everything has shrunken
about one-half. save the loanable value
of money. Untold millions of money is
kept in idleness simply because the rate
Of interest for its use has not been re-
duced in the ratio in which all other
values have shrunk. Secretary Gage Is
right in saying that congress Is wearing
out the patience Of the people over the
tariff bill, and is right as to the de-
mand for a readjustment of the curren-
CIV question. But MFR. Gage and the Re
publican party will have to use caution
In any revision of the money laws. The
readjustment must be based on the de-
mands of the people and not that of the
money owners. The one class has too
little money and the other too much.
If several hundreds Of the millions of
Idle money held by the metropolitan
banks were invested in realty, enforced
or otherwise, the whole situation would
be relieved But its owners do not want
to invest except in safe securities, at the
old-time rate OF interest. This is i'm
possible Now any REIMBURSEMENT made
in the interest of principal and inter
est will make trouble for the party in
power Without regard to political
conviction or party afiliation the money
owners and holders of the east desire |
the greenbacks wiped out Without |
denying or admitting the wisdom of |
such a policy, 1t is certain that the op-
position to such a plan would be very
great, probably overwhelming, politi-
caIly. Mr.. Gage should be careful about |
talking through his hat.
We are not secretary Of the treas
try, nor the son of a secretary of the |
treasury, but our opinion or advice |
would be to pass the tariff act, immedi- |
ately, and then for a year or two, at |
least, give the people a rest, leaving |
the owners and controllers of the |
boarded millions TO take their chances
with the industrial interests of the
country. Should there arise no ade-
quate demand for a profitable use of
the idle hoardings, then sooner or later
fits owners will be compelled to invest 1t
In western realities and other values,
which act Of itself would result in good
times.

On @ small volume Of business stocks ad-

assumed a more cheerful attitude, and moderate
purchases were made for both accounts. the
result Of the days transactions being net gains
in the majority Of issues. The Anal passage Of
the Morgan Cuban resolution in the Senate yes
terday was accepted favorable development
as clearing the way for the consideration of
the Tariff bill. The small amount Of gold taken
for export also exerted helpful influence upon
the market and the general belief that de-
cision favorable to the railroads in the Nebraska
maximum rate case would soon be made by the
Supreme Court Of the United States contributed
to the improvement In prices and speculative
sentiment The last-named factor was especial
~ effective in the railroad list. Gold exports to-
morrow will amount to S1.2OO.OOO, making the
total for the season to date above S13.1OO,OOO;
