CALAMITY HOwLERs TO THE REAR.

Emerson Enterprise (rep): Twenty-three
wholesale houses in Omaha now employ 2i5
travelling men, against ia in 1895, and $50
office men, where in 1896 only $50 were EN-
ployed. Even the Omaha World Herald
ought to call this revival of prosperity.
Stanton Pickett (rep): II you think there
is no prosperity in the land just try to hire a
carpenter or common laborer and you will
very soon find that every man Is not only
busy, but has engagements in advance, 1t
is difficult to secure any kind OF help. This
condition, when compared with these of a
few years ago, has already convinced reas-
enable men that republican times mean
prosperity. There are few soreheais that
nothing can convince or when convinced
have too much fool stubbornegs to admit
the truth. Such parties are still bowling
calamity.
Fremont Tribune rep): The World
Herald. having been forced into a corner.
admits that Omaha jobbeIs are employing
many more travelling statesmen and work
men than formerly, but in order to sustain
its allegation that prosperity Is still myth,
1t insists that this bulge in the labor market
is only local condition." still blind
blind as a newt! The same "local condi-
tion" prevails everywhere. One million wit
nesses who have new-found jobs and in
creased wages can be summoned to the stand
from all parts Of the country. II the World
Herald wishes to emphasize the fact that
the tendency Of trusts is 10 eliminate some
travelling men and reduce the cost Of doing
business II can do this without dragging in
the unsuportable argument that there Is no
prosperity In the land. II does no good to
try to substantlate a fact with a pa pable
untruth.

he has given much thought.

DECLINE or BANK CIRCULATION

DEtbINF Of BINh tINt tLAIION.
Bank circulation continues to decline
According to figures furnished from the
office of the comptroller of the cur
rency, the net loss since the beginning
of the present month in bond-secured
circulation is 81 100000. The circula-
ton based upon United States bonds
has declined from $214,OO0.OOO on Jan
uary l. 1899, to $206OOO,0O 1t is
stated that the new 3 per cent bonds
have not proved a potent factor in in
creasing circulation, but it is not un-
likely that they have arrested it's de-
nent basis of circulation. A good many
banks which deposited them soon after
they were issued are now withdrawing
them from the custody of the treasury
and retiring the circulation of which
they were the basis. In the present
have exceeded S1,OOOOOO.
This fact of the decline of national
bank circulation is of interest to the
business public. The loss of $S,O0O,00U
of this currency during the last five
months is not a particularly serious
matter, since the addition to the stock
of gold in that time has more than off
set the decline in bank circulation, but
If the falling off should continue at that
rate it would sooner or later become
serious, particularly if there should
take place, as is quite possible, an out
flow of gold, or even a cessation of the
inflow. 1t is obviously to be desired
that the banks should increase their
circulation and this would naturally be
expected in connection with growing
business, but manifestly the banks do
not find it profitable to do so.
The house republican caucus commit
tee on the currency will recommend
that the banks be allowed to issue cir
culation to the face value of bonds de-
posted to secure circulation. 1t is be-
lieved that if this were done the bank
circulation would be considerably in
creased and it appears to be the only
plan by which it can be. A declining
bank currency, if continued, means ulti-
mately a higher rate of interest

JAPANESE LABOR IN HAWAII

japanese labor continues to flow into
Hawaii. According to an official report
from a United States inspector at
Honolulu more than 1900 japanese
have landed in the islands since they
were annexed and he estimates that
by the end of the present year the total
population of Asiatics in Hawaii will
exceed the whole number of persons of
all other nationallties. 1t is further
stated that one result of this great in
crease of the Japanese is growing fric-
tion and race conflicts between them
and the Chinese, which renders it more
and more difficult to maintain law and
order.
The situation Is said to be regarded
with some solicitude at Washington, as
well it may be, though nothing can be
done in respect to it until congress shall
legislate and before that time there will
be in Hawaii enough japanese labor TO
supply the demand for years to come.
Indeed that appears to be the case al
ready. The New York Mail and EN-
press regards the situation as danger
Gus. 1t says the predominance of
Asiatics in the Hawaiian population is
a fact which demands serious consider
alton in devising a form of government
for the islands. "The system must be
so adjusted as to guarantee the perma-
nency of American control and yet give
the largest measure of self-goyernment
to the islanders themselves" The fail
ure of the last congress to adopt legisla-
ton for Hawaii that would have at
least prevented the influx of Asiatic
labor is now seen to have been a
grave mistake.
1t is demonstrated that Hawaii offers
no inducement 10 American labor and
in this particular those who opposed
annexation of the islands are vindi-
Gated. Whatever may be the future de-
yelopment of Hawaii it will be accom-
plished wholly by Asiatic cheap labor,
which is factor in Hawaiian industry
that will remain permanently.

THE SAME Old CtTTLEFISH
a Chicago detective employed last
summer on the Transmississippi Ex-
position grounds has made a deposition
in the Shields libel case wherein he
states under oath that he had arrested
a notorious pickpocket only to have
him turned loose by the protecting
influence of the editor of the World
Herald. To forestal the effect of this
disclosure that paper published n SEN
sational fake Interview with Tom Den
nison, who, by the way, is reputed to
have made forced contributions
amounting to hundreds of dollars for
police protection to the Hcrdman gang,
! in which the detectives damaging
testimony is toned down in very mild
colors.
Having thus broken the bad news"
gently the organ of the gang" resumes
its we'll known cuttlefsh tactics by Il
copious discharge of dark fluid, in
which the protector of thieves expects
to make his escape.
Although The Bee had withheld pub
lication of the Chicago detectives cX-
perience with protected pickpockets, the
guilty conscience of the frightened
cuttlefish impels it to supplement its
blackwaSh with an outburst of brutal
blackguardism that forcibly recalls the
palmy days of Rothacker and Nor
rissey.
But what else can be expected from
| desperadoes who are caught in the act
of rescuing professional thieves from
| the clutches of the law?

with them. But The Bee has never
faltered in the discharge of its duty to
the law-abiding citizens of this COM
munity and notice is hereby served on
all whom it may concern that vile
blackguardism and threats of rowdy-
ism will not deter this paper from con
tinuing to expose and denounce the in

EDITOR EVENING BULLETIN
The statement in this mornings
paper of what Mr.. POLITE did,
leads one to believe that the staff
of your contemporary is almost as
far off at arithmetic as it was Oh
the geography question some time
ago.
Taking the Advertisers figures
as basis it would appear that the
San Francisco broker some time
ago bought 1900 shares of Ono
mea at Sl373 or total cost OF
$4,000.
These shares were divided into
lots of 5 and sold for 1862 so.
The gain on one share would be
obviously 1925 and on 1890 shares
$600,000. The other statement
that Pollitz made a profit of S75 a
share and total gain of $4,000
does not seem to be correct.

FILIPINOs MUST SUBMIT.

Conditions in the Philippines
as shown by late dispatches are
Just what might be expected. The
American troops are continuing
their advance against the rebels
and the iusurgent forces are melt
ing like snowballs before this ad-
vance. Aguinaldo and his forces
will never be recognized as any
thing more than rebels and the
only opening left for them to re-
tire in peace is complete and alb
ject withdrawal from the field
they will probably not
be allowed the dignity of &
surrender, but must simply
sub nit and retire to the
was OF peace or take the con-
sequences which follow opposition
to American laws.
The probable result is the re-
firing OF nondescript bands of in
surgents to the mountains, and in
the Philippines the United States
will have the old Indian wars over
again with the added disadvantage
Of an unheslthful climate for Am.
ericsn troops to combat. The
driving of insurgents from the
cities and towns is the easiest
part of the program.
With Congress soon to adjourn
the President will abe left to
handle the new possessions as
seems to him best. There il
nothing in his previous action &c
indicate that he will make a move
to lessen American power in the
Philippines.
