And in the reign
of the POynter-
CHRONICLES.

OF the POynter-
every dog hath his day-it came to pass
that a vacancy occurred in one of the
senatorial chairs belonging to the state
of Nebraska. And thereupon the appe-
tite for filling that empty chair became
raving fever. Right and left the
infection spread. 1t burned fiercely in
the veins and vitals of Goliah Allen. 1t
seethed and smoked in the various con-
volutions, making up the corporeal
organism of the "Little David" of Hall
county-so metimes called the petty
giant-and it was molten lava in the
heart and brain of the suave Hitchcock.
But there was no sling, either of
whisky, brandy or any other material
strong enough to knock out Goliah
Allen. And there was no newspaper
capable of recording his defeat. There
fore, after live wire experiences between
Lincoln and Austin, Texas, Goliah
Allen, whom sings affect not and who
loveth sobriety and the sweet songs of
piety and faith, was appointed United
States senator from Nebraska on Decem-
ber -thirteenth-lS by the
Poynter aforenamed 1t is pleasant for
brothers to dwell together in unity.
There is, in Nebraska, but one democrat
eligible to office, and for "his sake" the
other former democrats are crucified on
a cross of candidature and the thorns of
defeat are pressed down upon their
brows forever.

nous was the recent declination of the
senatorship by the distinguished soldier
and orator of Lincoln who ran for the
presidency in 1885, The CONSERVATIVE
congratulates that valiant warrior and
staunch statesman upon having made a
real self denying declination of the
appointment by Governor Poynter for
Organs sake" Others made sacrifices
for Bryans sake, in voting for his plat
forms and nominees, but not one was so
generous as this declination by Bryan
for "Bryan's sake"

EMERGENCY CURRENCY.

The comptroller of the currency in
his recent report to congress, repeats his
recommendation of last year for the
authorization of the issue of limited
amount of national bank notes, under
conditions which he thinks will make of
them an emergency or temporary money
supply to meet the necessities of extra
ordinary money situations.
Not Novel.
The idea of a temporary or emergency
currency is not novel. 1t is now pro.
vided for in Germany and perhaps other
it exists, that any previous comptroller
has so strenuously urged it's i'm
portance.
Necessity for 1t.
That something of the kind is needed
in our financial fabric, think must be
apparent to any one giving the subject
any close and careful attention.
We have in the United States an i'm
mense volume of credit securities and
obligations which, if their amount could
be indicated in dollars, would reach a
sum of almost incredible proportions.
Against these we have, it is true, a
very large volume of currency-com-
posed of government notes, bank notes
and gold and silver coin-but this
volume of currency, large as it is, COM
pared with that of credit obligations,
carries very small ratio.
For this reason, it is with us, but a
short step from condition of plethora
to a condition of stringency, bordering
at times upon panic.
Repeatedly within the past few years,
and notably only few weeks ago, have
these changed conditions suddenly been
manifested at our financial centers.
Causes of Disturbance.
duced at periods when least expected,
and more frequently than the almost
regular intervals of financial crises like
1857 1873 1898.
These last are occasioned by perhaps
unavoidable causes, marking as they do,
the uppermost limits of inflated prices,
following an era of speculation and
credit expansion. Within certain bounds
trade operations have constantly been
expanded and contracted, and the re-
vulsion from expansion cannot easily
occur without it's attending financial
spasm of distrust and uncertainty.
The changes to which refer have not
been of this character. They have
occurred at periods when trade condi-
tions seemed to prohibit the possibility
of panic. For instance-the failure
of Barring Bros. in England--the special
The Conservative, 1899-12-21

The effect produced upon the money
market was the same in either case; a
readjustment of credit conditions would
inevitably follow.
The last occurrence of this character
was the beginning of war between Great
Britain and her South African depen-
dencies. These circumstances by thus
affecting our money market go to show
that the world of finance is small
world, if we judge of it's size by
the extent of the effects produced, by
transactions occurring in remote parts
of it.
Not Normal.
1t cannot be claimed that these in
f1uences upon our money market are
normal conditions. On the contrary
they are extraordinary and cannot be
antio ipated, and in view of our boasted
financial strength it is humiliating to be
obliged to acknowledge that our fnan-
cial system is provided with no defense
against them.
Devices Utilized.
Necessity being the mother of inven-
tion, the crude, clumsy and unlawful
method of clearing house certificates
has frequently been adopted by the
banks as last resort, and government
aid has been demanded and utilized
whenever it could be obtained.
General Monetary Theories.
Our first inquiry should be directed
toward the general or theoretical con-
ception Of the causes operating upon the
money function which evolve the stu
ations noted.
Effect of Money Supply Upon Prices.
1t is the strenuous contention of the
great political economists and especially
Ricardo and j. s. Mill, that the guam
tity of money in circulation governs the
prices of commodities
We now know that this is an erroneous
theory. The quantity of the money
supply does not affect, except very re-
motely, the prices of commodities; but
it does affect the prices of securities-in
other words, it affects the interest rate.
Money as II Medium of Exchange.
A certain amount of money is required
at all times as a medium of exchange
and under normal conditions every
nation is provided with an ample supply
for this purpose. The demand for
money in the exercise of this function
should not be confused with it's demand
as an aid to production or it's use as a

Harrisburg, Pa, April 5-The bribery

FACTORY is ALMOST IN SIGHT
SPRINGVILLE'S ENTERPRISE AS
Stunning DEFINITE SHAPE.
Beet Sugar Factory Men Arrange De-
tails For Beginning Operations
Plans For This Summer.
lsnecial to The Herald.l

Springville, Utah, April 5.-The beet
sugar factory project for Springville is
fast assuming definite shape. The in
dications are now that the factory is
almost in sight. Messrs, Cutler, Austin
and Valley We're over from Lehi today
and made measurements of the land
and water needed for the factory. Mr..
Cutler stated that machinery had been
ordered and would soon be on the
ground ready to work up this years
beet CROP. No refinery machinery will
be put in this year. however, and the
beet juice will be sent to the Lehi fac
tory by pipe line and the refining done
over there. The factory built this sum-
mer will be the same size as the one
previously offered, viz, 800 tons daily
capacity save for the refining machin-
cry.
Next year the Springville farmers will
be getting the same price as the Lehi
farmers for their beets- 1t is rumored
that this unexpected movement on the
part of the sugar company is due to the
fact that the railways here could not
supply cars enough to handle the beet
crop when needed. 1t is also limited
that more beet contracts may be let
here, and the acreage thereby largely
increased. Color is lent to the latter
by the fact that the weather this sea-
son is delaying seeding.

IAPAN'S INTEREST IN China
READY TO PROTECT THREATEN
ED EMPIRE.
If Partition Comes, the Japanese Will
Demand Their Share-Keeping An
Eye On Italy.

Vancouver. B. c., April 5.-Oriental ad-
vices brought by steamer Empress of
Japan indicate that Japan has watched
with jealous eye Italy's recent attempt
TO get possession of San Nun. Marquis
Ito has been IN direct communication with
Ii lung Chang and has advised various
reforms. He says the partition of China
will be inevitable should China persist In
her present course of action.
In view of the San Nun affair, the
japanese are saying their government
must abandon the hold-alUof policy hith-
erto adopted, and demand some substan-
tial grant of land from China, probably
port IN tokien.
Count Okuma. ex-premier, advises the
government TO so conduct itself as to in
duce China 10 rely solely upon the gal
lant' assistance of Japan for the main
tenance OF independence. The first mea-
sure to be adopted for that purpose is to
drill several hundred Chinese soldiers by
Japanese officers; secondly, to encourage
the dispatch Of Chinese students to Japan
for study. If the situation should compel
Japan to take a final step, it viii be abso-
lutely necessary for her to hold Annoy
and the railway between that place and
Hankow. This phase can only enter into
Japan calculations when the mainten-
ance of ChinaS integrity is entirely de-
SPARED of and there is no hope of pre-
venting partition. In the meantime,
Pekin, has applied to the Chinese govern
ment for five new settlements for Japan
exclusive use, TO be opened at Foo Chow.
Annoy, 1nkaw (Newchang), Shanghai and
in addition TO the Iientsin
and Hankow settlements which have been
ceded already. 1t is stated that the Chi
nese government has decided to entertain
the demands, with the exception of
Shanghai and Chungking.
There appears to have been no truth in
the report that the dowager empress had
recalled Ii Hung Chang TO Pekin. The
latter has finished the labor of examining
the Yellow river. but his rivals in the
tsung Ii yamen are trying to keep him
out Of The capital. They fear his infiu-
ence.
Bangkok (Siam) reports say that
conclave. the Cantonese secret |
society, is again at work, and those who
do not obey the laws of its leaders are
arrested, punished by mutilation and loss
Of members and even assassinated. The !
authorities are powerless in the face of |
this formidable confederation, which pur- !
sues the even tenor of its way as if it |
were the only government in Siam
