Members OF The republican state com
mittee have Il grave responsibility. Upon
their action depends to a great extent the
outcome of tile impending campaign.
The blunder committed mt its first meet
ing after the Last state convention in
locating beadqpaIaers cost the party sew
eral thousand votes. This sacrifice was
made for the behcit of hotel keepers
and free-lunch' politicians. 4 repetition
of such ~ill-adyised action may prove dis
astrous not only to the state ticket, but
to the United States senatorshlp depend
ing upon the legislature. This year, as
for the last five years, Douglas county
will be the pivotal point upon which will
turn the fortunes Of the party. To ig-
nore this vital factor OF the campaign
is simply to assume hazardous risks
which can readily be avoided.

A MONUMENTAL ACHIEVEMENT.

When the history OF the nineteenth
century is written the Transmississ ppi
and International Exposition viii take
rank with the monumental achievements
Of its last decade. Colossal projects in
volving the expenditure Of hundrsdS Of
millions have been launched i'm this and
other countries by ambitious and enter
prising communities. but zone OF them
have been successfully carried through
IN the face Of such adverse conditions
with such limited resources.
The Centennial exposition at Phila-
delphia was practically fatliered and
promoted by the United States govern
ment, as was also the Worlds Column
bian fair at Chicago. The New Orleans
exposition was floated by the issue of IA
loan guaranteed by the federal govern
mcnt The Midwinter fair mt "A Fran
CISCO did not exceed state proportions,
while the expeditions mt Atlanta and
Nashville were merely Interstate exhibit
tions participated in by a few neighbour
ing states. In every instance the money
expended was raised largely by bond
issues and mortgages ON prospective
gate receipts.
The Transm Sslssippi Exposition EN-
braces within its scope the greater half
Of the American continent, including
states between the Gulf of Mexico and
Alaska and from New England to the
Pacific coast. At Omaha the gates open
on IN exposition second in magnitude
an1y tn tha NNnrl1'G Columbian, fnir md
its equal In many respects in magnifi-
cence without a dollar of bonds issued
and with only n moderate floating debt
What was regarded twelve months ago
even by many of its most sanguine sup
polters as scarcely within the range of
possibility is now an accomplished fact.
With scant assistance from legislative
bodies funds have been raised by private
subscription and popular interest
aroused throughout the country in the
supreme effort to make the exposition at
Omaha Of national and international i'm
%portance.
That the effect Of this undertaking will
be far-reachlng in quickening the devel-
opment of the marvellous resources of
the Transmississ,ppi region is manifest
to every one. That IL will prove of in
calculable value to the whole country
in widening the channels of trade and
bringing the people of the different
states and sections into closer CONNER
cial and social relationships will also
be patent to all who shall avail them
selves Of the opportunity to view the
display of varied products.
While it may be too early to venture
upon predictions it is safe to assert that
the mex generation will look back to
this exposition as an imperishable mon
ument of broad-minded public spirit, in
domitable pluck and courageous perse-
Yerlnce.

CURRENCY or THE mALAys.
Chenp Dollars for Ia Cheap Natives
of The Philippines.

y lhAaaHtEfN' hAAE'f
Before starting for the Philippines. the
quartermaster general OF the expedition
spent 5000 in the purchase OF 100000 Mex
lean dollars for use az Hong Kong and
Manila. The Chinese and Mnlays are still
fond OF these old-fashioned cartwheels-just
as in some part OF Africa beads are preferred
to any other currency-and rs silver dollars
not redeemable in gold can now be had
CHEAP, our officers have laid In a good sup
ply.
1t is worth while to call particular atten-
ton to this Just now when a plumber Of
senator's are Insisting upon adopting the sill
yer dollar as a standard OF value at home
and paying the wages OF soldiers and all
other war expenses In the cheap currency of
the Malays. The reason that General Mer-
ritt's quartermaster is taking Mexican dol
lars instead of those stamped by the United
States, which contain about the same amount
Of silver, is that the former represent only
theirs actual value, while the government
OF the United States is pledged to accept the
latter at a valuation of one dollar In gold.
1t has been able to do this-that is, to main
tain its outstanding silver coinage, certif
Gates. notes and various forms of currency
at their face value-by limiting their volume
and accommodating a large reserve of gold for
their redemption. These senators now wish
to remove the limit, to coin more silver dol
lars and issue more paper, with the avowed
purpose of forcing the recognition Of silver
as STANDARD money They wish TO mark
our currency down to the standard of the
Malays.
We do not believe that they will succeed.
The American people will not suffer their
military operations to be paralyzed or their
commercial prospects to be blighted by the
I-.N. ~ ---1st a.. H.
this the time when they will wish to revive
a financial system based on the Spanish dol
lar, seeing its results in Spanish countries
when contrasted with the solid gold basis
on which the commercial and naval power
Of the English=speaking countries has been
built. The Mexican dollar is simply a sur
vival of the Spanish dollar. and you can buy
1t now for As cents. The American dollar,
which had the same origin, would be worth
no more if the populist senators had their
way. That may do for the Philippines, but
not for the United States.

INCREASING MARKET PRICES.

While the advance In the price of
wheat during the last year has attracted
greater attention than any ether feature
of the general markets, because the all
vance has been from an abncrmally low
point to one much higher than can be-
maintained permanently, yet other
changes in market pr.ccs have been
more beneficial TO the producers. Ac-
cording to II Department of Agricul-
ture the value of the wheat crop OF 1897
10 the farmers of the United States
was about S42SOOO,OOO while the value
of other crops, including corn, oats, bar.
ley, rye, buckwheat, potatoes. hay, cot
ton, tobacco and sugar was about
S1.5G0 ,0O0.0O0 The market price of
wheat has advanced so that the crop OF
the present year Will be worth many
million dollar more than last Jcar's
crop, but there has been an advance In
the market price of all the products
mentioned except cotron and n few
others. The hay crop alone is worth
nearly as much as the wheat crop and
the corn crop is worth more.
These grain, vegetable and fiber crops
are not the sole source of the incomes
OF the farmers. 1t the beginning of The
present year there We're in the United
States more than 45,0O0,000 cattle, 40
100000 hogs and 81 ,o00,000 sheep. The
value Of these animals for market pur-
poses has increased steadily for some
time. Greater profit has come TO the
American farmers and ~stOcknlen
through the advance In the market price
of live stock and packing house products
than through the advance In the price
of wheat, The supply of live stock in
the hands OF the farmers remains eom-

THE NATIONAL CREDIT.

The national credit has not suffered
the slightest shock from the existence
of war and there Is nothing in the sit
uation that seriously threatens it. The
war expenditures have made a consid-
cradle reduction in the cash balance of
the treasury, but this does not create
any concern. since 1t is not doubted that
congress will make adequate provision
for supplying the government with the
means necessary to vigorously prosecute
the war. This Is now costing about
$~1,G0O,OO0 a day and will be more costly
hereafter, the secretary of the treasury
estimating that the wal expenses will
for II time be close to $1,000, 900 per day.
This Is perhaps a somewhat excessive
estimate, but at all vents the treasury
must and VIII be placed in Il position to
promptly meet all demands upon it for
war purposes, so that no delay in the
prosecution OF hOstilities shall. result
from lack Of money.
1t is an interesting fact that the ordi-
nary receipts Of the government have
not thus far shown any serious effects
from IA state of war. Customs duties de-
clined somewhat when the war was
threatening, but the absence of disturb
ancc to neutral has kept i'm
ports up to pretty nea their usual range.
Internal revenue receipts have been
swelled to some extent by the desire to
anticipate the increase in taxation upon
beor and tobacco. Receipts from these
sources, however, are not likely to show
any material improvement for six
months, in spite Of the increased rate
Of taxation.
The firmness OF the national credit, in
the face of heavy expenditures for n
war Of uncertain duration, Is n highly
gratifying fact. 1t Is another illustra-
tion of the value of the sound money
victory of two years z and it Is re-
assuring testimony of the confidence of
the financial world in the integrity of
this people. The free silver and fiat
money men In congress nave pursued Il
course calculated to disturb this conf.
dence, but no such effect Is apparent.
