A suggestion From weak source

The whole reading world has read with
amazement the accounts of the disorderly
proceedings which occurred in the lower
house of the Austrian Reichsrath last
Wednesday and Thursday. In no other
civilized country would such proceedings
be tolerated, and they would not be toll
Grated in Austria if the empire were not
Independently on its last legs. In our
House of Representatives at Washington
there are turbulent scenes once in a while,
but it is only for moment. The speak
er never fails to restore order quickly.
The Austrian assembly was practically in
the hands of a mob for two days. Scenes
were enacted much like those which take
place in a republican state convention in
Louisiana, where nearly all the delegates
are negroes. The negroes have the ad-
vantage in this, that while they are ex-
ceedingly bellicose and noisy in their fac
ton fights they seldom get along so far
as TO want to cut each others throats
And yet the Austrian empire, with such
representatives as she Gs shown to have,
wants to consolidate all Europe in a
commercial war against the United
States. Her minister of foreign affairs,
Count Goluchowski a day or two ago,
summoned European countries to unite
against the destructive competition of
America. 1t is quite safe to say that the
summons will not be needed. It would be
a wiser movement and more beneficial to
Austria for her emperor to summon the
rioting members of his assembly to a po-
lice court than for his minister of foreign
affairs to undertake TO summon the ma
tons of Europe to take part in COM
mereial war against the United States.

New Orleans has instituted vigorous
campaign of disinfection. In former years
there have been occurrences of yellow
fever the year following an epidemic,
through the fact that the germs were
stored away in clothing and bedding dur
ing the winter, and brought out again in
the spring to resume their deadly func-
lions. The local health authorities are
now disinfecting and otherwise treating
every house in which there has been a
case of fever. and forcing the residents
of such houses to take precautions
against a revival of the disease next year.
Other southern cities should lose no time
in putting themselves in first-cass condi-
ton, in anticipation of a possible out
break next year. While the danger of
any such thing is small. still there is
possibility of it, and no chances should be
taken.

OVerdninp Ii.

The present year has been very pros
porous one for Kansas The total yield
of wheat has been more than $1,000, 900
bushels and the value of it to the wheat
farmers is placed at $S4, 900 This is an
increase of 100 per cent. over last year.
The value of this years crops above the
value of the crops of last year is placed
at $2O,00OOOO. Naturally the Kansas farm
ers are in a much happier frame of mind
than they were before this years crops
were harvested.
1t it is stated that 3,5OO,0O0 acres
have been sown in wheat in the state this
fall. That is an increase of 16 per cent
over last year. Evidently the wheat farm
ers believe that the demand for wheat will
be as great next year as it was this, and
that they will have another very prosper
Gus year. But are they not in danger of
OVERRIDING the wheat-growing business?
There were excellent reasons for the bet
ter price which the wheat farmers re-
ceived for their wheat this year. There
was an almost total failure in the wheat
crop of India and there was shortage
in the wheat crop of Europe. Naturally,
Inere was an extraordinary demand upon
this country for wheat, and the price ad-
vanced until it reached 81 a bushel. The
chances are that similar conditions will
not exist next year; besides, if crops should
be good next year this country would
have a great deal more wheat than it
had this, Kansas is not the only state
which has increased its wheat acreage.
IT is pretty certain that all of the wheat
growing states have. The increased sup
ply will have tendency to depress the
prices, and the wheat farmers may be in
the same predicament in which the cot
ton farmers find themselves, namely, with
a big crop which they cannot sell at a
price which would cover the cost of pro-
duction.
1t would be better for the wheat farm
ers as it would be for the cotton farmers
if they could limit production to some
where near the worlds needs. If they
could do that they would be prosperous
pretty nearly all the time. Instead of
trying to do that a prosperous year is an
incentive to overproduction, and then
comes trouble.

two young men from the city as they play

The Trcnsurx Deficiency.

The Secretary Of the Treasury is begin
ming to feel anxious about the condition
Of the treasury. The deficiency is steadily
growing ana there is no immediate pros
pact of any considerable Increase in the
REVENUE, and there IS no probability that
congress will cut down the appropriations
SO as to bring the expenditures within the
revenue. Naturally, therefore, the Secre-
tary of the Treasury does not regard the
future as being particularly bright, viewed
from the treasury standpoint. The de-
aciency thus far for the present fiscal
year is Si5,0O0oCO. This would not be such
a bad showing if it were certain that
there would soon be such an increase in
the revenue that 1t would be sufficient to
meet the demands of the government, but
the Indications are that the expenditures
will continue to exceed the revenue an
I'll additional sources of revenue are pro-
vided The Dingley bill has not proved
to be the revenue producer which the re-
publcans predicted it would be and some
of them are inclined to believe that they
made a serious mistake in not providing
additional sources of revenue.
It is doubtful If congress will keep the
appropriations for the coming year within
the amount appropriated for the present
fiscal year The estimates for pensions
for instance, call for about $1,000. 900 more
than was appropriated for the same pur-
pose this year, and the postoffice receipts
have fallen off to such an extent that ii
is estimated that il will require about
900 to make up the difference be-
tween the expenditures and the receipts.
Besides these amounts. the army and
navy are calling for increased appropria-
tions, and it will be difficult to avoid
spending more money on the navy next
year than is being spent this year. The
clamor for public building appropriately
is quite general throughout the country
and congressman being anxious to please
to come into the treasury before making
public building appropriations.
VIII the Mckinley administration resort
TO a bond issue TO prevent the treasury
from getting into serious trouble? If 1t
does, 1t will have to admit that the re-
publican party misled the country when
congress was called together in extra ses-
sion to pass a tariff bill An admission of
that sort would not help the party in the
congressional elections next fall. On the
contrary, it would do 1t a great deal of
damage. AS far as the most careful OBJ
server can see now the republican party
is in a rather bad fix. and is in danger
nf in fY no
spring.

The Plethora of Money.

There is a great deal more money in the
country than there is any use for. That
confidence has returned there is no doubt
because money has come out of hiding
and is seeking investment. The banks
are fun to overlooking. Those of New
York have millions on representations for
which there is no demand, and it is said
that the Chicago banks have $S0O0,OO0
loaned in Europe where they can get a
better rate of interest than in this coun-
try. The banks in this city and about
every other city. have more money than
they know what to do with. This would
seem to indicate that what we want now
is not, as the populist claim, a greater
volume of money, but more
industries and business which re-
quire money for carrying them
on. No doubt there is greater prosperity
throughout the country than there was
two years ago, or even one year ago, but
the signs of prosperity will be much more
numerous when the demand for money
is sufficient to take about all the banks
have to lend.

A gratifying instance of "old time" mer-
camille integrity came to light in New ork
the other day, when Mr.. Amos r. Emo,
survivor of the firm of Emo, Bueren &
Valentine of that city, sent around checks
in payment of principal and interest of
his proportion of the debts owed by the
firm when it failed thirty-six years ago.
1t seems that Mr.. Emo had long ago been
released from responsibility for the debts,
hence there was genuine and pleasurablc
surprise when the surviving creditors,
many of whom had forgotten an about
the debts, received checks. 1t Is said
the amount which MIR. Emo will pay will
amount to about $4,000. This incident
brings to mind a somewhat similar one
that occurred some years ago, in which a
former Georgian. now resident in Charles
ton, discharged in full, with interest,
large debt from which he had legally been
released. That Georgian, as business men
will recall, was George w. Williams, a
gentleman whose business example has
been for years a beacon for young men.
