Help 1t Along.

We understand that, while many re-
sponses have been made to the request
for funds to extinguish the debt Of
Hamline university in accordance with
the generous proposition Of Mr.. HILL
the full amount has not yet been sub
scribed. We want to add another word
in behalf of st. Paul institution so
we'll deserving and so cordially appre-
ciated by all who are acquainted with
it's methods and with the men in
charge of its work. No one knows,
until he has tried 1t, how difficult a
matter it is to carry through a public
subscription for even the most meri-
torious object. People have not yet
forgotten the pinching Of hard times,
and the influence Of a generous spirit
as a creator Of prosperity Is too little
understood. But the city of St
Paul has now fully recovered
from the baneful effects of the
panic that desolated the whole
country, and from the subsequent pros
tration of bank failures. We are to-
day a well-to-do community, with a
future that is measured only by the
spirit in which we meet 1t and the de-
termination with which we shape it.
1t was confidence, hope, determination
and, above all, activity and apprecia-
what it is and that are to make it
what 1t is yet to be. We want to see
that spirit return and bring with it
all the material evidences Of the new
era
The first step will be the strength
ening of all our home institutions and
a generous rivalry in putting them in
a position to do most for themselves
and for all Of us. Such an institution
is Hamline university; and, both as an
educational fundamentally and as an
agent in the material growth Of St
Paul, it has it's claim upon our people.
With its fine equipment, its large corps
of instructors and its 300 or more pu-
pills, 1t constitutes an item in the life
and growth of the city vastly more
important than some manufacturing
enterprise, for whose establishment here
a liberal bonus could be collected. Not
only in the interest Of mental and
moral progress, but as a sound bust
ness proposition, we urge again a
frank and generous response to the ap-
peal made to its friends by Hamline
university; and the making good. by
a generous public response, Of the COM
paratively small amount that has vet
to be contributed IL order to comply
with the conditions of the splendid
gift that it has received. and to make

J0BBERs' EXCURSION DATES
Were Fixed Yesterday by Com
mittee for the Twin Cities.

The committee Of the Twin City and
Northwestern Merchants association
has announced the following dates upon
which the spring excursions will be
held: Feb. 20 to 27, March Ii to 20,
April 10 to II.
These excursions, the first of which
were held last year, are for the benefit
Of the wholesalers of the Twin Cities,
and the merchants in the surrounding
territory. 1t gives the smaller dealers
an opportunity to come to the cities and
look over the various stocks of the job
bers, and select therefrom the stocks
desired for their own trade. On the
other hand, it gives the jobbers an op-
pCrtunity to meet their customers and
work to the advantage of both.
The membership Of the association Is
restricted to the wholesalers Of Min
neapolis and st. Paul. and the retail
dealers of the towns in the surround
ing states.
These excursions have been a feature
in the commercial affairs of Chicago
and st. Louis for a number Of years,
and have proved very beneficial. The
railroads last year made rates to Chi
cago and st. Louis of a fare and fifth,
While the rates to Minneapolis and st.
Paul were a fare and one-third.
In order to protect the territory,
which rightfully belongs to the Twin
Cities, the railroads., headed by the
Minneapolis & st. Louis, which has
stood for the interests and commercial
supremacy of the Twin Cities have
granted the rate of fare and one-flfth
regardless of the number to take adj
vantage of it.

Financial Congestion.

Those who believe that our present
system of government issues of paper
is all right, as we'll as those who love
to talk about the scarcity" Of money,
should take a glimpse at existing f1nan-
cial conditions in New York city, This
is the dull trade season Of the year.
The crops have been moved Money
used to purchase and carry them to
market has been gathered together
again and deposited in the banks The
country banks have enlarged their
balances with those of New York city.
What are some of the features Of such
a situation?
The New York banks deposits have
risen since the first of the year from
$675,O00,0 900 to $714,000OO0. In a single
week the gain was $22, OOO,O 900. In the
same week the loans increased but $12,-
100000. The reserve Of the banks over
and above what is required by law rose
to $31, 100000. Naturally enough, the
financial reports are of the following
tenor: Call loans, which were still
per cent in the preceding week, have
fallen to ~ and 2 per cent under the
generous supply, and time money is
difficult to place, owing to the limited
demand and the excessive offerings on
mixed collateral. 1t is thought money
is so low that a reaction, with better
rates, is likely to occur in the imme-
date future"
Is this a healthy state? The surplus
money stock Of the country, incapable
of retirement, flows to the money CEN
ter. 1t tempts to speculation. 1t de-
ranges the market Should there come
a panic, country balances would be
withdrawn by ten of millions, and pres
emily clearing house certificates must
issue. Later in the year conditions will
change and money be in more active
demand Then the remote parts of the
country must wait until currency can
be moved for business purposes away
from New York
The evil and the danger Of 1t grow
steadily. How vastly better that sys-
tenn of currency reform which would
abolish this unwieldy and inflexible
money volume; substitute bank notes
for treasury notes; allow money to is
sue when and where it is needed, and
retire when it's work is done; and thus
substitute diffusion and equality for
alternate plethora and want with their
accompanying ills.

duty Of the majority to frame the best
possible reform measure and let the
senate take the responsibility Of de-
feating 1t. In the course Of his re-
marks he stated three solid truths; and
1t would be better for the future Of
this country If they were the guide
of all public men. Truth and cour-
age will down falsehood and courage"
said he. Even truth and timidity will
beat falsehood and courage, but truth
and cowardice will succumb to false
hood and courage" And it is not
alone in public life that these aphor-
isms apply.
