The Demand For small Change.

The United States sub-treasury is
experiencing n heavy demand for
fractional silver coins and for nickels
and pennies and number of ship
ments have been made within the
week. Not only has there been a
large local demand for these coins,
but the calls for them from the South
have been exceptionally heavy. When
such coins are sought after it is re-
garded as a good sign of active bust
ness. They are used for change, and
indicate that the consumers are out
in force buying supplies.

OreSon's New Senator,

The election of Senator Simon by the
Oregon legislature Saturday closes an Incl

the light of the experience of Wyoming

assume that no state would again leopard

The Partisan Fakir.

The press of Paris is giving the world a
taste of It's quality these days in the way
of enterprising speculation. Its theme is
the peace commission and what may be
expected from the deliberations of that
tribunal. Its daily output has so far been
quite readable albeit a little tinctured with
the cOCksureI ess and assertion of yellow
journalism as Illustrated in the United
States. For an instance, the latest article
from Gaulois on the subject is completely
spoiled for American consumption by the
closing sentence. We think we are author
lied to say that President Mckinley will
agree to a settlement On this basis This;
differs from the New York brand of fake
only IN tine employment of the first two
words of the sentence. The Gotham fakir
would have allowed no qualification what
ever. HE would have spoken for the Pres
idant-as he often does-directly and COM
mittcd him entirely.
But they are progressive in Paris, and
may attain the top notch before the end is
reached. Spanish securities are involved,
and rigging the market by means of manip-
ulating press rumors is an old Partisan

game. 1t may be played to the limit in
this case, however. without injury to any
American interests. Those securities are
not held in this country. but in Europe
and principally in France. If Paris can
stand such promotion of any local gamble
We need not object on this side of the
water.
1t will be borne in mind over here that
the American case at least Is not public
property. 1t may not yet be complete. But
whatever its condition. the President and
his confidential advisers here and his repre-
sentatives at Paris alone know the story.
When it is communicated to the Spanish
commissioners their silence will be invoked.
The business, as any one may understand
after momeht Of reflection, is far too
delicate and far-reaching to be spread
about in free and loose fashion. 1t is use
less, therefore, for any Partisan journalist
to be spinning his yarns so far as the
people of the United States are concerned.
There is no law against attempting mind
reading across the Atlantic, but when it is
claimed that President Mckinley or any
body for him is authorizing statements
through a Paris newspaper, that, in the
language Of the melodrama, 'is too much"
The Gaulois spoils it's own broth. The
seasoning is too high.

Col. Asa Bird Gardiner refused to remain

didate for governor of New York on the

the party was playing its candidate as a
man of sentiment. while the candidate
thought so poorly of his party as to believe
that he could bribe it with plunder.
The fight was won on the tariff issue, but
by a stroke of poetical justice the money
issue became Immediately acute and the
clash between the President and his party
took place within a few months after his
inauguration Ten the unnatural combina-
ton stood fully revealed and disruption fol-
lowed. The President moved in one direc-
ton, his party in the other. 1t became
necessary for the republicans to come to
the Presidents assistance, in order that the
Legislation he proposed might be enacted.
And thus began that mutual feeling OF dis
trust and bitterness between sound money
and free silver democrats which eliminated
in the adoption by an overwhelming ma
jority of the party of the Chicago platform
and the nomination of a standard-bearer
about whose loyalty to every tenet that now
bore the party's stamp there could not be
the slightest question

The Government Should Act,

From the New York Herald.
Much of the danger of the spread of yell
low fever in the south has centered in the
difficulty of reconciling the different state
health boards to some uniform and reason
able methods of general protection for wide
districts of country. This will always be
the case so long as the question of state
rights is discussed in connection with mat
ters pertaining to public health The mel
ancholy experiences of last year, when
shotgun quarantines were organized, when
state boards quarreled, when hospitals
were burned, trains were stopped and when
millions of dollars were lost by interrupted
trade, are still fresh in the minds of the
people of the entire country. The marine
hospital service is the only hope of present
safety in the absence of a national quaran-
tine law which could still more increase its
powers and enlarge its opportunities A
threatened pest1ence can yet be stayed if
the government will take the matter in
hand at once and prove in a thoroughly
practical way the prompt efficiency, wide
usefulness and consistent aims of a we'll
equipped and comprehensive system of ma
tOnal quarantine.

The Industrial Comm issiOn.

In the excitement of the and the
wars aftermath public attention has been
considerably diverted from the appointment
and outlined work of the industrial COM
mission. which Congress at its last session
directed the President to create. Yet as
set forth in a publication in today's Star,
this body is soon to enter upon one of the
most important inquiries ever instituted by
the government. In fact the scope of the
work is such that it is questionable whether
If it be fully carried out, any survey of the
field of labor in all its phases ever before
attempted will approach ii in completeness
That much good may flow from such an
undertaking is evident. All depends upon
the care and impartiality with which the
various problems affecting labor are sue
CeSsiyely approached and searched for
solutions. 1t is undeniable that there is a
continuing prospect of friction between the
employing classes and the employed. Theo-
retiCally these two bodies are so closely al
lied in interest that friction is illogical and
Unnecessary. But in practice it is an I'M
fortunate fact that the country's most seri
Gus troubles grow out CT the lack of har
mony between the men of capital and the
men of labor.
Aside from this particular view of the
case, however, the commission will find
many fields for reform, affecting the causes
Of poverty and distress. the misadjustment
of the laboring and the agricultural classes,
the failure of the people to obtain the full
est possible benefit from the country's great
natural resources. Political considerations
are, of course, somewhat involved, but the
commission is so formed as to prevent any
strong bearing toward partisanship without
leaving a tell-tale mark. The government S
relationship to the workingman requires
regulation and the state, as a factor in the
to be taken into consideration. The sweat
shop, the conV let labor question, the length
of the working day, the proper distribution
of industries and a multitude of other Ques
lions arise to lead this commission far
afield and to provide 1t with material for
profitable inquiry for many months
Whether reformatory laws follow ii or not
the systematic inquiry which its creation
insures Will in itself prove beneficial to the
community, giving opportunity to those
with grievances to state their case, to
theorists to present their views to prac-
teal men in both ranks to explain their
condition, their needs and their Iimita tons
The mere review of all these elements will
perhaps arrest the public thought and in
directly lead to the substantial betterment
of the laboring man, whose welfare meas
