CONTRARY to the prophecies of those
who effected the defeat of Mr.. Bryan
last November, the price of wheat ba'
fallen this week, while that of gold hal
advanced. But that is exactly wha
the advocates of the democratic ticke
said would be the case if Mr.. Mckinley
were elected. The scarcer the money
the more valuable it becomes, and
therefore the more wheat it will buy,
and few people possessed of it will risk
it in Industrial enterprises, when simply
by locking it up in bank vault its
value will be enhanced.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL

Business has been quiet during the week.
The Wheat market is dull with decided de.
cline. The receipts Of fsh are increasing and
prices remain firm. There is nothing new
in monetary matters. In New York yester
day money on call was easy at 1ibs2 per
cent last loan p, closed offered at lba2
per cent. Prime mercantile paper 3lhs4 per
cent. In Baltimore money continues easy
and in full supply. Call loans were quoted at
} and 4 per cent, and bank accommodations

cent.
NEW YORK. April 9.-Tho stock market

THE CRETAN AEFAIR.-A dispatch
from Constantinople says that the Porte
yesterday afternoon communicated to
the ambassadors the contents of three
circulars dispatched to the Ottoman
representatives abroad. The first,
datedApril 5,notifies the powers that the
Porte is willing to withdraw the Turk
ish garrison from Crete Immediately
il the Greeks previously withdraw, and
the powers guarantee to pacify the ISL
and. 1t demands also that Greece
should evacuate Crete forthwith. The
second is dated April 6, and protests,
in anticipation, against the appoint
ment by the powers of a European gov
ernor of the island. The third, dated
April 7, protests against the injustice of
disarming the Cretan Mohammedans,
while the Christians are permitted to
retain their arms.

Few PEOPLE in the country care
what sort of coat Congressman Bailey
may wear, but, if that gentleman were
older than he is, he would know that
the claw hammer coats to which he SO
conspicuously objects, when made OF
blue broad cloth and trimmed with
plain brass buttons, used to be very
much in vogue, not only in Texas, but
all through the South, and were much
worn even in Washington.

THE PROPOSED robber tariff bill is en-
titled an act to encourage the indus
tries of the United States. That it will
not encourage the shipping industry of
this country is made plain by the fact
that the chief business in which the
old American merchant sailing vessels
are now engaged, is transporting to
this country the cheap mattings made
in China and japan, which, of course,
will be utterly destroyed by the pro-
hibitory duty imposed on such mattings
by the bill referred to.

IN ST. LOUIS yesterday a boy threat
ened" with diphtheria had dose OF
anti-toxine injected into his veins. In
forty minutes afterwards he was q
corpse. Whether the dose killed him
or not, nobody can tell, but in the ord-
nary course of events diphtheria would
not have caused death in that short
time. Matter injected into the veins
goes straightway and at once to the
heart, so that such effect as it may
have, is produced Immediately, and the
danger of sending diseased foreign mat
ter into the blood that way must,
necessarily, be very great

WHEN the Chinese wall the Dingley
tariff bill is building around the bor'
ders of this country shall be completed,
the Southern farmers, the sale of whose
products will then be restricted to
their own home market, will be
in worse condition even than
they are now, but that of the
poor employees of the Northern
manufactures will be hardly any bet
ter, for similar restriction will be put
upon their products, so that the
demand for their labor will be
decreased, and consequently the
price thereof be diminished. II
is only natural that foreign ma
tions should have already commenced
to retaliate in kind.

The Floods.


JACKSON, Miss. Apl. 9.-At 1875 q.
NJ, to-day all wire communication with
Greenville, Miss, was lost. The sud-
den cutting off may be significant. The
city has for days been seriously threat,
ened by the Mississippi river flood.
Startling rumors are current here.
The citizens of Greenville have APP
pealed to the government for supplies
to feed forty thousand people who are
destitute by reason of the floods. AT
Clarkedale, the water had risen 30 feet
last night and was still rising at the
rate of inches an hour. Great appre.
hension is felt.
New ORLEANS, La, Apl. 9.-The
river at New Orleans is well over the
1S-feet mark. The highest previous
record was 17.9 in 1898. 1t is now 1872.
The levee board has secured consent to
blockade many streets leading to the
levee and low places will be raised at
once. The worst feature of the situa-
ton is the daily storm. Last evenings
blow was the worst so far, doing con-
siderable damage.

The Cuban Question.

A Washington dispatch Of tho
18th says:'
The Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations today had the Cuban ques-
ton under consideration on the basis
Of the report Of the sub. committee
appointed yesterday to confer with
the President and Secretary Sherman.
The report was prepared by Davis
and Foraker, Republican members,
Morgan the Democratic member. de-
clingmg to participate in it. The re-
port consisted Of a concise statement
Of the contents Of the official reports
from the American Consuls at Cuba,
bringing Information up to within a
week. This report confirms the news
paper reports as to the situation ON
the island, and even goes farther in
depicting the deplorable situation
than 10 most newspaper stories. Es-
peciaI' stress is laid upon the con-
ditioR OF American citizens. It is
positively stated that hundreds are in
a starving condi5inn, wretchedly
clothed. The deaths of Americans
from starvation are daily reported.
Americans are scattered in all parts
OF the islands, and are shown 10 con.
sidera'ion whatever because Of their
American citizenship. go.
In view OF the developments he
fore the Committee ON Foreign Rela.
tious, Senator Morgan agreed not to
press the consideration Of his resolu-
ton today but will make an effort to
have the question made unfinished
business for Monday at . o'clock.
The delay h. the Senate Committee
on ForeiS2 Relations taking action on
the Cuban question until Mon lay is
for the purpose Of giving the Presi-
dent an opportunity to act.
Representations have been made to
him that there is necessity for i'm
mediate acton. 1t ha; also been rep
resented that the recognition ought
to be by. the executive and not by the
legislative branch of the Government.
The President has been urrol to tnko
some steps looking to the relief of the
starving Americans in Cuba.
1t is the belief Of the members Of
the committee that the President will
take action before Mon lay, but if
nothing is done by that time there is
no doubt the committee will urge the
Morgan resolution in the strongest
terms possible. Some members may
raise a constitutional question against
it but will not press 1t.
The members of the Foreign Re-
lations Commute have recommended
to the President that il necessary to
afcnro the landing OF food and cloth
ing 10 relieve the wants of Americans
they should be accompanied by an
Ane r1can warsh1p. The committee
has a list of ono huudre | Americans
said to be starving. They arc repre-.
sented to be corrallJ I'd in towns and
unable to get foo I v 4 they had
meaus to procure it. The correspon
dent represents that there are tirou,
sands Of Cubans in this condition.

A SOUND MONEY OBJECT LESSON.

81 tftsrS--.1 = Ist
The following from the Chicago
Sentinel should be read by every Ia
boring man who cost his vote last
fall for mckinley, sound money and
prosperity"
ThS people are having object les

suit in abett4r knowledge of money

8"T1fese TesasonS are being paid for
dearly. but the school OF experience

people who will learn in no other.
Worshipsrs OF !" the golden calf and
their crowd of devotees are 30 bound
sp with superstitions of. the barbaric
past that they can not readily free
themselves from the absurd notions
Of Intrinsic value" and the rules of
barter and exchange Of the earlier
stages Of numan existence.
But as new truths appear and facts
threaten to dispe1 error there are al
ways those who stand in the way
shouting for the ignorance, inteler-
ance and delusion of former days.
The finance issue is no exception.
Object lessons and experience, how
ever, will in time penetrate the thicx-
est skull and reach the duIlest brain.
"A circumstance which occurred in
this city recently and happened to
come within our personal knowledge
illustrate the situation forcibly and
taught a man the We! lid for les
o which the whole world must
learn.
A laborer who wor&s at a manu-.
featuring establishment took a check
for his wages, Presenting it Mt the
bank, he received a $40 gold piece
and SO. in other money, but before
leaving the bank he met his landlord,
to whom he owel s12, entering the
bank to make a deposit.
Handing him the $50 in gold, he
received So in change, but waited a
moment to accompany his neighbor
down che street.
The $50 goldpiece was placed with
the money for deposit, but when of
fered Mt the receivers window was
thrown on the scales md found TO be
worth only $3.50.
This naturally led to IN attempted
explanation. The two men asked that
the matter be riyhted in the bank,
but the receiver was obdurate and
would only accept it Mt the discount.
The paying teller merely said: "You
should have kicked when / handed it
out if it wasn't right. Cn.'t do any,
thing about it now"
The lab >rer insisted that he could
not be expected to carry around a
pair of, scales, but was informed:
That's not our lookout. We can't
help that" SO lie paid his landlord
the difference of $3.50 and went awav
with an object lesson pretty well
stamped on his thinking machine, and
as ne thought the matter over he rep-
istertl ayQw that he would never
again accept gold under any circum-
stances.
