The Credit System.

Why do merchants encourage the
credit system? You answer that you
don't. Yes, but you do. If the sys
tenn were not encouraged by the
merchants it would not be in exist
ence to-day. Did you ever stop to
think that the country mercantile
community of the country are the
only body of men that tolerate the
credit system:
Let's see you buy postage stamps,
postal notes, money orders, etc. on
credit. Go to the theater and you
pay money. Express companies de
mand cash, and railroad tickets are
cash on delivery to purchaser. WHY
should not the merchant demand
and receive cash? Simply because
he encourages the credit system.
1t may be an impossibility to com.
pletely eradicate the credit system,
bat strict limitations On credit is a
step on the night road, and its evo
luton Will be practically q cash

is worth trial and should be begun

ike measles in a country school. and
when it does it will sslYe this great
problem for aIl tins. When sifsed
down, il would be found that the
credit system Is the projsnitor of
and responsible for more evils that
sffeet the financial and business
world than ali the other agencies

Ou,posts.
London, Dec AN important
part Of the work OF always proceed
to strengthen the British Empire
against Russia is now going forward
in Northern India.
The last frontier was undertaken
not primarily for this purpose, but
because the natives did not under
stand the purpose and proved OBJ
structive. They naturally concluded
the new military posts, forts and
block houses were meant for them.
Their Misrepresentation cost many
lives and retarded British plans,
which are only now being carried

subsidy, is 10 be put in charge of

sack ever does come he will find that
England has no: neglected to de

Washington, d. c., Dec st j:

with United States Senator Rye. Of
South Dakota, sigDiied his approval
of selling the Philippines. 1t is
SAID that Japan has already offered
| $500, 100000 for the islands.
Senator Kyle says there is dis
tinct sentiment in official circles in
favor of eventually turning the
islands oyer to Japan or some other
power or powers.
These statements derive some
weight from the fact that yesterday
Senator Kyle had an interview with
the president concerning the policy
in the Philippines. Senator Rye
declsres that hs will vote for the
ratification Of the peace treaty, and
that he considers it to be the duty
of every Senator to do so.
He says he is opposed, however.
to having the United States hold all
the islands permanently, and b.
lieves that this government should

point in tbs islands as naval base
and coaling station.
The present condition OF the
Philippines resulting from Aguinal-

administration come anxiety, but
every body in official circles appears

say that Khalifa Abdullah has left
his hiding place in the recesses of
the African desert, near kordofan,
and With 9 large force of Dervishes,
has reached Kobe, in Darfur.
From this point it would seem
that another conflict is imminent
All along the Khalifa's march great
hordes OF fanatic Moslems have
hocksd under his standard, and
those who were most sanguine in
their belief that the British victory
with Omdurman was the final blow
to the Khalita's power now fear that
the worst is to come, and that the
Dervishes are receiving aid and
encouragement from anti-BritIsh
sources
That England does not regard the
Dervish revolt as subdued is shown
by the fact that the Sirdar, Lord
Klntchener, left England for Egypt

YOUNG FRANK GOULD is GENEROUS.
VIII Be a Missouri Pacific and Manhattan
Director But Wont Give up His Dogs
and Bicycle.

anu OIL yNiS'
. New York, Dec. 8-Frank ia
Gould, the Youngest OF the late ia
Gould's children, spent his birthda.
at his desk in the Office Of the Mis-
souri, Pacific system at No. 195
Broadway, 1t is said he will entsI
the directorate of that road, arc
that be will likely be made director
also in the Manhattan Railroad
company.
Frank Gould is a typical young
American, uuassumiug and demo
cratic, although he has just come
into his S10.000,0O0 patrimony in
trust He is two inches less than
six feet 10 height, slender and com
pactlv built, and erect in carriage
He has a long well rounded face,
high forehead and firm chin. His
eyes are a distinguishing feature
dark brown in color, rather large,
set we'll apart and ever on the alert
He wears q slight black moustache
Young Gould was educated by a
private tutor. Then hs attended the
Berkely school for several years and
finally was graduated at the Univer
sity of the City of New York. He
gave $4,000 worth of instruments,
including an immense machine for
testing the strength Of materials, to
the engineering department of the
university after his graduation.
While he was still pursuing his
studies III books he was beginning
his business education. He travelled
extensively on the Missouri Pacific
system in private car during his
vacations. He has practical know
ledge OF the railroad business.
Several months before his death
which occurred in 90, Jay Gouldap-
pointed him on one of the Manhattan
Elevated committees and, though
mere lad, he sat solemnly among the
directors and imbibed knowledge.
Young Gould, however, is by no
means wrapped up entirely in bust
ness. He is bicycle enthusiast and
not long ago made the run from New
York TO Philadelphia in ten hours
He is fond Of horses and dogs, and
has one of the finest kennels in the
country. He is member of the st
Bernard Club OF America, and had
several EXHIBITS at the last dog show
at Madison Square Garden. Last
March he purchased in Kansas City
for $4,000 the three finest st. Ber-
nard dogs in the world La Prince
and Santa Monica.
The home of Frank Gould is with
his sister, Helen, at Lyndhurst,
Lrvington. He goes back and forth |
to his New York office daily and |

IS said is very fond of his sister, who
nas acted as a mother to him ever
since their mother died.

REPORT UN THE CANAL.
Nlcarag qua Is Severely ArraiSnsd.

Nicaragua Is Severely Arraignsd.
Washington, d. c., Dec. s Sen,
ator Morgan. chairman of the senate
committee on the NicarAguan canal,
has given netice Of an amendment to
the Nicaragua canal bill authorizing
the immediate issuance, with guar
antee by the government, of $1,000,
900 worth of bonds for the redemp-
ton of all outstanding stock, except
that held by the governments of
Nicaragua and Costa Rics, and the
cancellation of all obligations.
He submitted at the same time
report upon the situation with ref
erence to the canal, dealing IN severe
terms with the fact that the govern.
ment of Nicaragua granted conces-
sion to construct canal to another
company than the Maritime canal
company.
The report arraigns the conduct
of Nicaragua, as we'll as the Ameri-
can citizens securing the new con-
cession.
sit would be well for the reputa-
ton of those concerned" the report
says, ''in thus dishonoring govern
ments for their personal advantage,
and using their powers to create
iealousies between states, if it should
appear that their conduct is not
also corrupt.
SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.
THE serious consequences likely
to result to the United States from
the unprecanted and unwarranted
action of the late government of
Nicaragua and the evident purpose
to force our government into the
payment of large sum as compen
saton for the future consent of the
republic of the United States of
Central America, requires the COM
mittee to present the grounds on
which it insists that this proceeding |
is without any support in law, jus
tice or equity, and that it violates
the hitherto cordial relations of the |
United States with Nicaragua.
BY conduct equivalent to main
force, Nicaragua prevented progress
in the work on the canal and put
cloud upon the credit of the compa-
ny of execution that could not be |
otherwise than disastrous
it's claimed that the consent of
this country is necessary to any
proceeding on the part of Nicaragua
looking to the forfeiture of the con
cession.
Dwelling upon Nicaragua's course
in the matter the committee says:
Glow this unexampled condition
is TO be dealt with otherwise than
by an express and determined atti-
tude on the part of the United |
States is a question that carries with |
it the danger of serious embodiment
in the near future II Nicaragua is
not held to her agreement years will
elapse and many dangers will be en-
countared before even start can be
made toward the construction of
the canal"
