ON AN EVEN KEEL.

l 'RADE was rather tame last week The volume
 Of business showed no falling off, and indeed
 the increase in the bank clearings of 3I2 per cent over the same week in 1897 pointed to steady maintenance of the good pace set at the beginning of the year. But trade may be good and still be fea- tureless, and that condition now prevails
 In the first place there is no more uncertainty The only fleet which Spain possesses capable of infcting injury upon the United States or retarding it's aggres sive operations against the Spanish insular posses sions is in bottle down in the Antilles and Sampson is sitting the cork We practically in full control of the Philippines, and Santiago de Cuba is at our mercy. Spain is hors de combat and can do us no harm. Hence the fire Is taken Of any speculation which may have depended on the war as its raison d'etre
 In the second place the commercial atmosphere is clear The season has advanced to that point where the condition of the crops is pretty definitely known The preliminary orders for the army have been filled as rule and future orders will be filled more les urely Those articles of merchandise affected by the outbreak of hostites have found their new level and have ceased to 1uctuate and the movement of prod uce groceries and manufactured goods is now regu- lated by the ordinary laws of supply and demand Tn other words, trade is going along smoothly in its usual rut
 The failures throughout the country last week were @oo, dSduiSl <OZ IOi tIc SdlIc week last he shipments of wheat from the Atlantic coast were 4,73oooo bushels, against Io8oooo in the same week in 1897, and of 4774ooo bushels, against 2.3oS 900. While the volume of business in the iron trade shows falling off from the past few weeks it is still far ahead of the time in 1897, and the Western mills are still crowded with orders The woolen man. uacturers have ceased to buy wool but they cannot complain, for they have lately been doing rushing business on Government account Railroad bonds continue to advance with brisk demand for the bet ter class, while Government bonds have been weak ened by the prospects of new issue The continued of the money market gives bullish cast to Wall street but the public still hold aloo and the market remains largely in the hands of the professional ma nipulators.. The railroad earnings continue very large, and the distrbutve trade of the whole country is first class.
 The above points the state of trade through out the nation The California markets are equally humdrum. We too know what to expect from the current harvest and pretty we'll forecast prices within reasonable margin The general tone of the market IS one of frmness. Provisions continue to sell we'll at strong quotations Beef and pork meet with steady demand and the latter is excited at a marked advance. Quotations for the spring clip oi wool long delayed have at last been established though there is nothing doing Hides have again gone up and are meeting with steady consumptive demand. The dried fruit market is well cleaned up

PREPARE FOR FLAG DAY.

~ NE hundred and twenty-one years ago to- | morrow our fathers, having declared the Amer >) can colonies of those days to be free and independent States adopted the banner of the stars and stripes as the symbol of their independence, the emblem of their union and the ensign under which their joint armies should fight for freedom and the making of the nation.
 Since that time the Federal Union has become a National Union. It is simply a grammatical form that we say the United States rather than the United States is. The nation is and indvisable. The rays from the many stars of its flag closely blend with one another that the light their shining sends to every land and every under the expanse of heaven gleams the eyes of men the luminous glow of mighty rather than the commingled radiance of galaxy of separate stars.
 We having for the first time war in which fighting thoroughly united people and consolidated nation The flag means more to-day at home and abroad than it meant before There sections, classes parties in own land who regard it with aversion or even indifference There is nation people anywhere in the world who are ignorant of the power it symbolzes or doubtful of its high destiny among the banners that float the earth.
 It most appropriate in every way that at this time we should give public manifestation of the zeal and loyalty with which the banner is now loved in every home in the wide nation There needs no for nal ceremony for this. In fact it is preferable the celebration of the flag should be made by individual citizens expression of personal patriotism rather than by civil display military parades To-mor- row is the anniversary Let every citizen and every home not already possessed of flag procure one to- day When to-norrows shines upon 1t should
 have its beams reflected back from the broad stripes and bright stars of the banner of the nation streaming from every home and housetop and spre and pinnacle in the city.

A TRIUMPH FOR THE FAKER.

ID an oversight or negligence almost unpar- r \ donable the Associated Press has permitted it. - self to be made the dupe of the New York Jour nal and has sent out through the country to all the newspapers in its membership as an item of news of the worst fakes and lowest lies that ever ema- ated from yellow journalism. The main offender is of. course the lying Hearst organ that originated the fraud, but the Associated Press is in certain responsible, since sent the fraud broadcast among its correspondents without giving warning that the alleged news had been taken from the | Journal
 The item of itself of no importance, and was interesting solely because it purported to be record of incident of the in the West Indies As such it accepted from the Associated Press by legiti mate newspapers in all parts of the Union, and was published to the world as genuine piece of infor- nation concerning subject in which every Ameri- can IS intensely interested It out to have been
 lie concocted in the Journal office the instgation of Hearst It was not news. It was fake and fake vile that the Journal and its vermform ap- pendix in this city, the Examiner are now boasting of 1t as triumph over the decent newspapers of the country.
 There IS no disputing the fact that in certain sense the dissemination of the lying fake through the Associated Press was triumph for Hearst It caused legitimate newspapers to publish of the most fraudulent stories concocted by any of the Hearstng gang. It is to be wondered therefore, that the Examiner is now boasting of the feat and pointing to the item proof that other newspapers publish fakes as we'll itself. The faker has aged to cheat the public not only through its own columns usual, but through the columns of other papers, and is more exutant and noisy the success of its lie than 1t scoop inter view with the Emperor of China or the Pope of Rome.
 If the Hearstlng tricksters work such schemes this upon the Associated Press it will not be long before the dispatches of the association will be them selves much dscredited as those of the Examiner and the Journal Both of those yellow sheets members of the association and it is clear they perfectly willing to disgrace and de- grade it to their level. It therefore be- hooves the New York representatives of the association to keep a watch on the tricks of the Hearstlings, so that they may not be duped again as they have been in this instance.
 The faker has much right to rejoice in his suc- in foisting lie upon the Associated Press as gold brick swindler has to be merry the decep- ton of who should have had sense enough to know better. The representatives of the Associated what the Examiner is and what Hearst is They are, therefore to be blamed for accepting any news from such sources. Nothing but frauds, fakes and lies originate from any of that gang. Genuine news they never have. Hereafter when the Asso- cated Press sends items furnished by the Journal or Examiner it 1t to the decent newspapers of the association to give warning, This is from a HearstIinq"

THE UNITED STATES SENATE.

n MONO the good results gained by the sweep / \ ing Republican victory in Oregon that which is of the greatest national importance is the election of Legislature which can be relied upon to send to the United States Senate Republican oi known fidelity all the essential principles of the party, including the maintenance of the gold stan dard. -
 At the present time the Senate Is the weak point in our Government It is neither flesh, fowl, nor good red herring. Neither party has majority, and as consequence every important measure that comes before 1t brings about deadlock which can be broken only by compromise. It is this condition of affairs that has delayed legislation on the cur rency and compels to enter upon a war without settling that long discussed problem.
 The most important political issue of the year, therefore, is to change the comparative strength of parties in the Senate and to Republican su- premacy in that body, so that all branches of the Government will act in harmony for the adoption of legislation necessary for the welfare of the country Ii IS this that gives value to the election of Repub- hcan Legislature in Oregon. The gain of gold standard Senator from that State is victory in which the whole nation will share.
 At the present time forty-four Senators are cassed Republicans but six of them-Carter of Montana, Teller and Wolcott of Colorado, Pritchard of North Carolina, Shoup of Idaho and Hansbrough of North Dakota-are silver men and canot be counted on to support the administration affecting the currency. To overcome their vote and obtain gold majority in the Senate 1t will be necessary to gain eight Republican Senators to fill the vacancies to occur on the 4th of next March. Since the victory in Oregon there seems fair chance of doing this.
 Among the Senators who retire next March are eleven Republicans, two silver Republicans fifteen Democrats and two Populists Of the retiring Repub- cans the only that all doubtful are those gain seats from the Democrats in Maryland where
 Republican has been already elected to succeed Cor man, and in New York, where the successor to Murphy is sure to be Republican. Another has now been gained in Oregon. In addition to these the Republicans have good prospects of winning the seats held by White of this State Turpie of In diana Mitchell of Wisconsin and Smith of New Jer- of Gray of Delaware, Roach of North Dakota and Faulkner of West Virginia
 The outlook for a safe Republican majority of sound money men in the next Congress is therefore promising In every State however where Senator to be chosen by the Legislature elected this year the Republicans must be alert and watchful The margin of victory will be too narrow even under the of any State to take chances If we arc to have rency reform thorough and complete without disas- trous compromises must have good working Republican majority in the Senate and to accomplish that there must be this year something like the tidal victory of ISo6 sweeping the Union and carry ing every doubtful State

THE UBA-MARYSVILLE TRANSMIS-
 SION

HE current number of the Journal of Eec-
 tricity gives the place of honor in its pages to
 elaborate description richly illustrated of the electric power transmission system recently estab- hshed by the Yuba Power Company at Marysvie The article is noteworthy one and presents in striking way of the most important of the accom- plishments of Californian enterprise
 It IS noted that just I25 days elapsed from the date when the power company began work on the system until it was placed in operation. The work achieved during that comparatively short time in- cluded the entire rebuilding of thirty odd miles of water system, the location of the power-house the erection of the pole line with two sub stations the city distribution of 5000 lights and the nstala- ton of all the hydraulic and electrical equipments of the plant With this record the company holds the well merited distinction of having made the quickest installation of that magnitude ever accomplished
 The plant moreover, notable for its excellence for the speed with which 1t was built Rapidly as the work was performed, thoroughness and quality were never subordinated for the sake of gaining time The system stands therefore as one of the best illustrations in the world of what American science and engineering skill can do in the way of providing for the transmission of electrical energy
 The example set in this case will of course be fol- lowed elsewhere. The topography of California is well adapted for such enterprises and the date can hardly be far distant when nearly every city of note in the State will have power furnished it on lines sim liar to that which is now proving such benefit to Marysville

The light crop keeps that steady at high prices. The local money market is very easy and abundantly supplied, and solvent borrowers find difficulty in filling their needs at the usual rates of interest From present dcaton the new crop year will be as brilliant as pected and there is nothing in sight to indicate any disturbance in trade conditions for some time to come
