POOLING WITH ALCHEMY.

The present day alchemists who talk
so glibly of inexhaustible Klondikes in
their laboratories hardly seem to real
ize that they are playing with a very
sharp sword, and that it is pointed at
both ends. Assuming that the gentle
men are serious in their claims and
that they can do what they say, not
only will they fail to profit by their
enterprise, but they will give the
world such a financial jar as it has
never had. Values for centuries have
adjusted themselves to the measure of
gold or silver, and with the two pre-
cious metals as cheap as iron or lead
the accumulated fortunes of years will
be swept away, and worse than that
the world will be left with nothing as
medium for it's exchanges.
Primitive people have been able to
worry along after fashion under such
conditions, but it is hard to see how
modern business could adapt itself to
such conditions. The process of trade
by barter was difficult enough when 1t
was confined to the exchange of q
round Of butter for yard Of calico, or
two coon skins for a pound Of shot
With large transactions it is out Of
the question. Surprising the reorgani-
zation committee of the Union Pacific
had been compelled to pay for the road
with eggs. The hens Of the country
would have been put in very en-
barrassing position. The mere thought
of a December corner in wheat to be
conducted on a butter basis would
drive the cows of the country to gen.
eral strike. Four per cent pumpkin
bonds to run fifty years might be all
right at the date of issue, but who
could tell the fate of the pumpkin in
half century. 1t might be demone-
tized in favor of the silver squash.
be?
This returning to the simple ways Of
nature is pretty in theory. but it has
manifest disadvantages as soon as it
is applied to specific instances. Modern
trade has grown away from the butter
basis, and laboratory Klondikers ought
to be promptly suppressed until they
have discovered some way of saving
commerce from destruction In the
event Of their success. No bank could
load itself up with mixed lot Of pelt
and potato collateral; and, If it could,
it would have nothing to lend but dried
apples and strawberry preserves. This
fooling with alchemy is really danger
Gus, and it ought to be stopped. One
Of these days some one will hit upon
the long-sought elixir, and then there
will be trouble.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-12-19

Of that necessity Is to dwarf or de-
stroy many Of the qualities that make
for manhood.
The men who believe in civil service
reform cannot show too quickly or too
emphatically that 1t has no require
ment for or patience with the idea of q
civil pension list or an old age insur,
ance fund, or any Interference with or
connection between the employer and
the employe beyond the payment Of an
agreed salary on one side and the dis
charge Of stated duties on the other. AS
between an army Of officials well paid
during certain years and pensioned by
the people thereafter and a complete
return to the wicked and hurtful spoils
system, the people would choose the
latter without hesitation. In the name
Of all that is best and most hopeful in
in American politics and progress, let
us hear no more Of the abhorrent and
undemocratic notion of any sort Of
pension, support, assistance or protec-
ton for civil service employees.

the suggestion that they should let go
the foreign possession that has been
more costly to them than an empire
would be worth.
To the passions that have grown
through all these years Of struggle with
the patriots Of Cuba, military despots
like Weyler have contributed artfully
and powerfully. They appeal to the
worst side Of the populace, and fill 1t
with bombastic promises Of what they
could and would do for the glory OF
the Spanish name if they were allowed
full sway. The chief promoter Of revo-
luton in Spain today is not the CarllSt
emissary nor the Red Republican, but
is the butcher" himself. His attitude,
when removed from the command OF
Cuba, was that of rebel. Since his
return he has posed as the victim OF
the Liberal party, as the representa-
tive champion Of Spanish honor and
Spanish arms, and has invited and en-
couraged everywhere demonstrations
in his favor as a man who. having
stood in the breach in behalf Of SPANS
authority in Cuba, is removed and de-
graded because of his fidelity to the
Spanish name.
The steps taken by the Liberal cab
met toward granting Cuban autonomy,
half-hearted and insufficient as they
seem to us, are regarded by the people
of Spain as q species Of deliberate
treachery. They look upon them as
the first movement toward a surrender
Of imperial authority. This is care
fully fomented by Weyler, and the
wretched, ragged and poverty-strlcken
horde are tickled with the idea that
they have but to put themselves under
his leadership to become the masters OF
the world. So the glimmerings of wis
dom that have broken in upon the
Spanish cabinet are contributing to her
own ruin. The decay Of Spain was
never more manifest than in this dis
play Oh the COIlDlHeu lSLol 1iiN0 eNh0
passion Of her people and their read
mess to rush upon their own destruc-
ton. 1t is not at Havana that the
great disaster from Cuban arms is like
ly to break upon Spain. It is more
probable hat the government at Mad
rid will feel the force Of popular fury,
and that a country which was once
the garden and the seat Of mastery OF
the world will be given prey to the
mob and the revolutionist. Thus
Just retribution Is falling upon Spain
in her own person. Her political es-
tate falls daily lower and lower, and
the darkness Of her future Is without
a rift Of light.

LACKING IN ECLAT

The trouble with this government is
that it lacks eclat. When the secretary
Of the treasury spends year thinking
up a plan to reform the currency sys-
tenn and decides to present his views
In person to the gentlemen who repre-
sent Podunk and Oshkosh in the con-
gress Of the nation, what happens?
There Is no more show than attends a
the Associated Charities Of Bemish
Corners. The honorable secretary puts
on his hat, walks over to the capitol
says what he has to say and then goes
home to dinner. What can be expect
ed Of proceeding such as that? No
wonder the members Of the opposition
are not impressed.
When a member of the cabinet has
something on his mind that he desires
to communicate to the representatives
he ought not to be turned over to a
beggarly committee that, like as not,
favors the other side. Some ceremony
ought to be injected into the proceed
ing. On the day appointed the mem
bers Of congress should array them
selves in pink silk fleshings, with scar
let tunics, and, at the appointed hour,
await the coming of the secretary. He
could come to the capitol in an open
carriage drawn by eleven white horses,
with Titan circus rider posed grace
fully on the back Of each. BY his side
would be outriders dressed In shrimp
pink liveries, with red, white and blue
cloaks. That would be something like,
and 1t would amuse the children. Ar
irving at the capitol, two mace bearers
with blond wigs and red satin slippers
would announce the honorable secre-
tary, and all the members would stand
on their heads or commit hara-kiri or
something. Reading from a pink scroll
tied with a blue ribbon, the secretary
would ease his mind and then retire,
while the members Frustrated them
selves before him.
With such a ceremony there would
be some hope Of securing much needed
legislation. Before the opposition could
recover its spirit, the bill proposed
would be passed, and not even the gen.
tleman from Texas or the bearded
Populists from Kansas would know
just what had taken place while they
were under the spell. If Mr.. Alger,
decked out as field marshal, or Sec
rotary Gage, ornamented with an II
VIII" helmet and strings of corned
beef cans, could not induce congress
to vote for almost anything. it is be-
cause human nature in congress is a
minus quantity.

Currency Reform.

To the Editor of the Globe
What is the meaning OF currency reform 30
There isn't as much oneness among the gold
standard advocates now as there was befora
election, else the term could be defined with
grammatical precision
There once lived down in Maine an old
quack doctor. He possessed very little skill
mixed with whole ot Of CAB; and one day
he had patient. The case was a difIcuit
one even for skillful physician but tina
patient, being as ignorant as the quack. chose
him because with her CAB oyerbalanced
knowledge.
Well; the old doctor felt her pulse, exam
ined all he could of her tongue. and then
drew himself up an inch or two taller and
said: Madame. your liver is out OF knter.
your heart has got over onto the wrong side
and your circulation is Just reversed from
what it ought to be: your system needs tit
ervatin.' and needs 1t bad. but damn me II
can tell where to begin when to leave Of
I'll give you a dose of elecampane and sweet
flag root and trust to 'natur' to do the rest
Your disease is far too complicated for my
line of practice.
This seems to be about the case with the
gold-standard doctors. They all agree that
the financial system needs "titervatin." but
where to begin when to leave off VIII
eventually lead to the elecampane and sweet
flag root. How glad 1 am that I didn't get
mixed up with that crowd. u. Z. Stone.
