The Capital Centennial.

Many partly suspended enterprises have
found new life since the election, the pass
ing Of which has left the minds Of the peo-
pie free to consider other matters than
politics. Among these is the national cap
ital centennial celebration. for which prepa-
rations have been steadily. though unosten-
tatiously In progress for many weeks.
Every present Indication suggests that the
plans have been modified until they are
capable of execution with minimum Of
difficulty. They embrace several notable
features. They involve the assemblage
here of large body Of distinguished men,
They will symbolic the centenary Of the
capital in fitting manner and under strik-
ing auspices The local committees in
charge of the details are working vigorous
ly and smoothly and covering far more
ground than the average observer might
conceive. The subscriptions are swelling
handsomely and the interest Of the people
In the region beyond the District is gradual
ly being awakened to the significance of the
occasion 1t Is assured. from the outlook
today. that the one hundreth birthday Of
the capital will be celebrated in manner
to awaken the country to the fact that the
century has witnessed remarkable deyel-
opment and produced a city worthy the
name of capital Of the American republic.
1t is the hope Of the citizens that this
demonstration will ensure a more adequate
provision In the future for the maintenance
of the capital upon the national plane to
which 1t has been raised by the exertions
of the residents and legislators of the past
and the present.

The great boom In Wall street should not
be wrongly interpreted 1t is the evidence,
not the fact, Of prosperous conditions. 1t
means that there are many people with
ready cash which they are willing, now
that the threat of free silver and govern
mental reaction has passed, to risk in specu-
lation. 1t means that the capital which
has been held back for some weeks, or per-
haps months. pending the Bryan canvass.
IS now seeking an outlet. The buying and
selling of stocks in Wall street does not
record the actual investment activity, but
rather the speculative fever which has
possessed many people since the ballots
We're counted. 1t goes without saying that
for every dollar made in this boom there
will be dollar lost somewhere, for these
periodical flurries in speculation are but lit
tie else than gambling risks. The street is
seized with strong impulse to speculate
and prices soar far beyond the investment
range. few wise ones may find excellent
investment opportunities a result of the
reaction which is likely to come after the
speculative fever has burned itself out and
prices drop to the normal point or probably
a little below normal for awhile. The mar
gin of profits is now smaller than ever be-
fore on legitimate investments. Capital
commands only fraction of the returns
which it enjoyed in the past. Save in times
of panic. when loans are at high premium
money is to be had for from to per cent
Rarely is a borrower obliged to pay g. The
average business investment is productive
of but little better than the same range OF
profits. Save in the very large syndicates
where manipulation of the stock and water
ing have resulted in great gains in part
ill-gotten, this rule prevails today through
out the commercial world. Hence when op-
portunity comes for a short Investment
more properly a speculation, which may
bring 80 per cent within a few days or
maybe a few hours, there is rush to buy
in the hope of selling quickly enough to get
out Of the market before the drift turns to-
ward lower prices. Thus the Wall street
excitement suggests that there is abundant
capital. that 1t Is eager for outlets and that
1t is not apprehensive of failure or a change
of policy to cause contraction.

yer In the coin is really worth s1.29. He
has not thus far attempted to justify the
discrepancy between market value and
theoretical value. He has sought to avoid
the counterfeiting laws by shaping his dol
lars quite differently from the treasury
coins but he is nevertheless likely to run
counter to the statutes which prohibit the
circulation of coins as a medium Of ex-
change, even when there Is no imitation of
the government stamp.
The experiment Is Of course puerile. The
coins will demand some consideration per-
haps for a short time, as they remain a
curiosity. But soon as this Is satisfied
they are certain to fall to the level Of mere
Jumps of silver, worth 60 cents each-or
less If the price of silver has meanwhile
decreased. They will not even retain the
value Of the coinage, calculated at Is cents.
The reason for this Is obvious. The coin.
being palpably a deceit in terms of weight
and value, will command no respect be-
cause it lacks the governments stamp
There Is nothing back of it to make good
any deficit which may exist. There is no
credit, no store of silver or gold, to justify
its fraudulent existence. The sixteen-to-one
dollar is bad enough, with its 4S cents
worth of silver passing for hundred cents
for a profit to the coiner Of As cents is
joke which is likely to be speedily checked
by the hand of the law.

The Tardy Silence of Croker

Richard Croker is booked to sail for Eu-
rope next Saturday. Meanwhile he is main
tanning his old-time silence on all subjects
He has hardly been heard to utter a single
word for publication since the cyclone
struck him last week and he is not ex-
pected TO break silence until just as he
crosses he gang plank of the steamer, when
ii is believed he Will relieve himself of 4
few choice Crokerian remarks about Hill
and his followers. This suggestion indi-
Gates that Croker holds Hill responsible for
the defeat of Bryan In New York. While
Hnls early attitude may have been ac-
ccuntabie for some of the deficiencies In
the upper counties it is by no means fair
to charge him with party treachery. In
anticipated The Bryan vote was consider
ably swelled upstate. although the repub-
lcan vote was not appreciably reduced The
returns from Greater New York will not
justify Mr.. Croker In pointing at Hill as
the wicked partner. He had promised Bry-
an the city by at least $4,000 and he was
heard at times of exceptional exuberance to
murmur figures approximating $4,000 The
city plurality for Bryan was considerably
less than 10000.
Cookers silence now will not cure the
evils which his garrulity before election
caused his party. He had degenerated into
a common scold before the polls opened
Tuesday morning He let no day pass with
out finging some coarse epirhet at Cover
nor Roosevelt. He lambasted Mr.. Hanna
and his associates on the republican COM
mittee. He limited at slurs on the Presi-
dent. He spared no republican. largo OIL
