While Kansas is FACILITATING with
pride and joy because of its abundant
harvests the cancellation of mortgages
and the general liquidation of debts, the
state board Of agriculture comes out
with a statement that makes one stare
The value Of last years harvest is given
as $1S6, SS5, 26S. This is indeed a hand
some figure; vet it is barely $4,000 more
than the average annual value of har-
vests for the past ten years. 1t is, to be
sure, the largest harvest Kansas has
had for five years, but it is far smaller
than the value Of every harvest of the
next preceding five years, save that of
1880. Such figures Of $3.50. 800, 900, and
1854, 600 900, and $147, 900, 900 make last
years product seem but meagre Yet it
was during these extraordinary fruitful
years that Kansas was going to the
dogs and the populists, ground down"
by the gold bugs. Is dollar wheat alone
responsible for the change from ruin to
prosperity, from doleful dumps to up
roarious exultation? 1t has been sug-
gested that there is something in the
Kansas air that inclines the people to
see visions and dream dreams; that
populism is an epidemic that must have
its run, though afterwards the afflicted
people may become sane and sound as
other people. At any rate, populism is
to have lost much ground. The
number of convalescents in Kansas is
surprisingly large, and 1t is certain that
the populists themselves have been
tanned or have tanned themselves to a
very considerable degree. They are not
yet above suspicion, as some of their
proceedings against foreign insurance
companies indicate, but they have at
tempted little or none of the radical
legislation that they threatened before

TIE PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE

Secretary Cages speech on the money
League was a conclusive answer to Mr..
Bryan's recent utterances. 1t quoted
Thomas H. Benton's and Andrew Jack
sons endorsement of the gold standard
with bluntness that should make the
silver democrats vince. The most
vital part of the address, however was
the secretary's definition Of his own po-
sition and that of President Mckinley
as to bimetallism and the st. Louis
platform. Mr.. Cages words must be
accepted as authorized, though they
are fiat denial Of the assertions Of
Senator Wolcott and Senator Chandler
as to the presidents attitude. Here is
what Secretary Gage said on this point:
Besides his (Bryans) enemies, If he
means the republican party, are not
Boosting that they have buried bimetal-
lism. They proclaim themselves its
friend; they approve it in their platform.
The political head of that party has
been active to secure it under the only
conditions by which it can be main
tained, namely, international agreement
WIN open MINUS 70 DOIn anu SOiu.
In his efforts to inaugurate such
method, the president heartily supports
the principles of his party's platform,
and in his efforts he has the support of
adj the members of his official family,
inuendoes and declarations from vari-
Gus sources, to the contrary notwith-
standing. Until it can be secured in
this rational manner, we propose to
maintain the kind OF bimetallism we
have now, under which 500 millions or
more of silver are kept on a parity
with gold"
This is an exact and just interpreted
ton of the st. Louis platform. It is a
logical and safe position. When the
commercial world is ready for interna-
tional bimetalllsm, there will not be any
other position for sound money men to
occupy Until the commercial world is
ready to accept the change, however,
there is no alternative but to stick to
gold; in the words of Secretary Gage,
ito commit the country more thorough
ly to the gold standard and remove, as
far as possible, doubts and fears on that
point, and thus strengthen the credit Of
the United States, both at home and
abroad" The presidents endorsement

other name that has come to the front
may perhaps be a strange one to many,
but those who have followed musical
events in Boston, win remember that
Augusta Rotoli has won marked praise
as a conductor whenever he has ap-
peared in public. He has a reputation
as composer, director and singer He
had valuable experience in Italy, his
native country as we'll as in London,
before he came to America, some ten
years ago. His class at the New Eng
land Conservatory contains the most
advanced pupils in voice training, SO
that it may be seen that he Is an ex-
pert of high rank in his profession. 1t
Is said that his manner as drillmaster
is not so conciliatory as many a chorus
might wish, but that is not always an
insuperable obstacle in II conductor $
path. His ability is beyond question,
and 1t would be good thing if the
Handel and Haydn would give him a
chance to demonstrate what he can do
with large chorus. 1t is worth while
to bring out what may be called new
talent.

Attempts to revise the federal railroad
laws are rendered futile chiefly by dis
agreement among the corporations
themselves. OF the general desirability
of revision, there is no doubt The inter-
state commerce law has gone to pieces,
under repeated decisions Of the courts,
and it has been said that not a few
members of congress foresaw the re-
suit, and were not at all disposed to de-
plore it. The interstate commerce COM
mission is, in fact, about as useless as
bureau supported by government
appropriation can be. The commission
ers have plans enough for putting the
laws into practicable shape, but their
suggestions meet opposition on the part
of the railroads at various points. This
would not be so formidable an obstacle
If the railroads themselves could agree
among themselves upon a counter-prop-
osition, for then a compromise might
be arranged But just here Is the rub.
Take the matter Of pooling, for instance.
There is a demand for a law which will
allow combinations OF rates, but there
is opposition to this proposition from
some Of the largest companies. These
prefer the cut-throat business, with all
the confusion, uncertainty and strife
that it implies. In this condition Of af-
fairs the prospect of extending govern
ment control Of the railroads cannot be
described as promising.

Our Massachusetts senators gave ex-
cellent account Of themselves in the de-
bate on the Teller Matthews resolution.
Mr.. Lodge completely bottled up Teller
of Colorado, by quoting from his speech
of three years ago, to the effect that the
bonds issued under the Cleveland adj
ministration had been bought at gold
prices and with the distinct understand
ing that they were to be redeemed in
gold, and that the buyers could not have
had the bonds unless they had paid gold
for them. This is true also of all the gov
eminent bonds comprehended within the
text Of the resolution. Senator Hoars
remark, that under the circumstances
the question was mot one of legal
power, but Of honor and good faith"
describes the case exactly. Senator
Berry Of Arkansas was so frank as to
admit that his party desired the bonds
paid in silver because silver money is
cheaper than gold money. How a man
of sufficient intelligence to get himself
elected to either house of congress can
make such an admission as this and con-
slider it honest, passes the comprehen-

The production Of pig iron for 1897 Is
estimated at $685., 1925 tons, or nearly
2oO,OOO tons more than in the previous
year. This statement, however, is mis-
leading. The rate of Increase is much
larger than here indicated. For the
first half Of the year the product was
smaller than for the corresponding
period Of 1890, The balance has been
made UP by an extraordinary squirt in
the iron business during the last three
months of the year. when the produc-
ton was at the phenomenal rate Of
l,o6OOOO tons year The output for
December, for the first time on record,
exceeded 100000 tons. At this rate the
product Of any previous year would be
exceeded by some 100000 tons, or more
than 20 per cent. Based on the common
ratio of employees to 1000 tons product,
and taking into consideration the vari-
GUS industries which use pig iron for
their raw material, there must have
been an increase Of ia, 900 men en-
ployed in 1897 as compared with 1890,
and so per cent more than in 1896. This
does not cover the various mining in
dustries stimulated, nor the increased
demands upon transportation, nor GER
tain manufactures in which a high de-
gree of skill is required. so that the
number of men employed is not in the
same degree proportional to the quanti-
ty of iron consumed. The iron industry
is "the barometer Of trade" because so
many other Industries are fed by it,
and when it gains such an impetus as
the facts cited prove there cannot be
any doubt as to the general business
revival, even if the "effete east has
not yet experienced this gratifying
phenomenon in as full measure as it
would wish.

As an instance of the meagre equip
ment of the southern states in the mat
ter of banking facilities, it is noted that
whereas, under the old state banking
system, Virginia had SIG, 100000 invest
ed in banking capital and bank note
circulation of $10,oOOOOO, it now has but
SIS, 100000 in the business and a bank
circulation of only $l9OO,0 0O Owing to
the large issue of government paper,
the marked decrease in bank note cir
is, of course, much less signi-
ticant than the very small increase of
banking capital An increase of one
sixteenth in bank capital is by no means
proportional to the states advancement
in population and volume of business.

Mrs. Emma c. Marble presided at the
interesting meeting Of the class in cur
rent events connected with the Wom-
ans Club, Wednesday. The program
had been so carefully planned that a
series of short, pointed remarks on a
variety Of subjects held the attention
of the 20 ladies' who were present. Miss
Ellen A. Kimball repeated the paper on
"Quo Vadis," read by her at the Uni

the latter she spoke highly, saying that
it was fascinating work and one that
made one turn to the New Testament
with fresh enjoyment and appreciation.

views of Mrs. Browning's Letters, Ten
nyson's Memoirs, Farrar's Men
have known" Aubrey De Vere's Rec
elections, and Mrs. James Il. Fields

MacMurray thought it lacking in the
sparkling picturesqueness of r'The

the sweetest books of the day. "If I
were God" by La Gallienne, was also
noticed. Miss Nella Marble gave re-
view of art and music. Mrs. Sarah

London has been having its fill of
smart weddings the last week or two,
but of them all, probably none came i'm
for more interest, good-natured or
otherwise. than the wedding of Lady
Anne Coventry to Prince Victor-Dulup
Singh. The announcement of the en-
gagement OF this high-born English
lady to the Indian nobleman, a few
months ago, created a large ripple In
English society circles, and there were
other circumstances which awakened
more than the customary curiosity as
the kind Of wedding the novel pair
would have. First of all, it was a
genuine love match, the pair being quite
absurdly devoted to each other and
having had to display consistency and
patience under various trying delays;
then, the bride is the daughter of an
official of the royal household; also, the
runor had gone about that the display
of jewels would be magnificent, which
proved to be the case.
Although 1t was charming wedding,
some disappointment seems to have
been popularity experienced as to the
prince, who had been pictured as a ro-
manufacturing, dusky hero; whereas,
though very Oriental in type, he could
ness and absence of neck were some
thing to grieve over. Lady Anne, how
| ever, looked really poetic In her satin
gown, simple tulle veil and coronal of
orange blossoms.
There were six bridesmaids, all in
white silk, with golden otter and silver
gauze. The picturesque hats were of
silver gauze, turned up sharply on one
side with mirror velvet rosettes leach
lady having a different color and white
plumes fastened with a paste brooch.
They carried graceful posies of lilies OF
the valley. The presents from the bride
groom were ruby and diamond crown
brooches. with the initials "V. A." And
the wedding gifts! The bridegroom's
offering included a number of splendid
jewels. First of all, there was the dia-
nlond crown--and very charming in de-
sign it was-then the lovely collar of
pearls, eight rows, with bars of bril-
liants between; also, long rope of sin
gle pearls of matchless shape and lustre.
A heart Of brilliants had a centre
formed of lovely rose-pink diamond.
There were three single stone rings
such stonesl a chain bracelet set with
pearls and diamonds; and, perhaps, the
rarest of all, a truly magnificent neck
lace OF Cabochon emeralds mounted with
rare white sapphires. At least, that S
