THE PRESIDENTIAL TERM.

The suggestion that the presidential term
should be extended to six or seven years
and the President be made ineligible for
reelection appears at such frequent inter-
walls and in such widely different quarters
as TO indicate that it has a permanent hold
on the popular mind. 1t is heard much
oftener in private conversation than it 10
seen in print. Within a short time ex-
President Cleveland and Senator Hanna
have both spoken in favor of the change.
the reasons given by the senator being, as
might be expected. much clearer and more
to the point than those given by Mr.. Cleve-
land. All intelligent persons are familiar
with them. They are commercial and
moral. Under our present system of con-
quoting political campaigns aTpresidential
election is great disturbance Of business
too great a disturbance for business men
to regard its recurrence every four years
with favor. In the early days of the Re-
public conditions were different. Then the
country was sparsely settled, business in
terests were small, and presidential cleo
ton was comparatively quiet affair. Now
we are more than 76, 600 of people, with
vast and complicated business interests.
and our presidential campaigns are much
longer than they formerly were. 1t is not
surprising that the idea of lessening the
frequency of these disturbances to business
should be growing in popular favor. An
other argument in favor of the change,
and one of considerable force, is that MAX
ing the President ineligible to reelection
would remove all temptation to admins
ter the office or dispense patronage with n
view to securing a denomination and thus
remove what is always in danger of be-
coming a mischievous factor in administra-
ton. AS Senator Hanna put it: ''The
limitation of the presidency to one term
would be an additional incentive for
President to accomplish all the good things
possible during his incumbency of the Of
flee. so that his administration would stand
as a monument to his memory" There
have been times when public interests
seemed to require the reelection of
a term of six years would not have bridged
over the seeming crisis. AS the business
interests of the country increase it is prob
able the proposed change will growi In favor
wisdom of the fathers as expressed more
than hundred years ago is not necessarily
the wisdom of the ages.

Total Stock I'm 1873 Was About $4,000
100000, While 1t Now Is Reported
As More Than Eleven Billions.
GOLD AND SILVER PRODUCTION
PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE OF THE
DIRECTOR OF THE MINT.
President Declines to Make Public
the Report Of Auditor Lawshe
on Cuban Postal Frauds.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-An increase OF
more than 100 per cent in the money of the
world within less than a generation will
be one of the most interesting exhibits Of
the annual report of the director of the
mint, which is now going through the press.
Nearly the whole of this increase is in
metallic money and much the larger pro-
portion is in gold. The total stock reported
in 1873 was about 81 600, OO0, 600, of which more
than half was in paper money not fully COW
cred by metallic reserves. The situation at
the beginning of 1900 showed total none
tary stock or about s11. SOC. 100000, of which
only little more than one-fourth was III
uncovered paper money. Director Roberts
finds that, while the total money supply of
the world has increased about s.. 000, 000. 900.
the increase in gold money since 1873 has
been about $500. 0O0.G0O in silver about ST.
$50, 10000, and in uncovered paper only
about $3.50, 100000. A large proportion of the
short space of seven years, while the
quantity Of silver money, which was at its
maximum of about 81, $50 100000 at the be-
ginning of 1896, has since been somewhat
reduced by the sale of silver by Germany
and it's retirement in other countries. The
conditions of 1893 showed a total none
tary supply of about $40, 300, 600. 900, which
has since been increased by about 81, 100 000,-
600. About $780, 900 of this increase has
been in gold money. The great outburst of
activity in the mining of gold which fol-
loved the suspension of the coinage of
silver in India and the United States, in
volving the rapid development of the mines
of South Africa and the Klondike region.
with the increased output of Australia and
California, II will be stated, has resulted,
therefore, in supplying nearly the entire
monetary needs of the world. without re-
sort to any material increase in the net
supply of paper money in circulation.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
PEKING, Dec. 1.-The first few weeks
of severe weather have tested the re-
sources OF the foreign troops now here,
and the result has been to remove any
fear of great privations during the winter.
The coal supply, while not plentiful, is suf-
ficient, and there is no dangerous scarcity
of wood General Chaffee has directed
that the wood supply be husbandec, and
it is believed there will be little. IL any,

methods used in the winter campaigns in
the Northwest, and we'll banked tents, mat

GOLD OUTPUT IN 1900.
United States Produced 3,S37,21S
Ounces, Worth S79.322.2S1.

WASHINGTON. Jan. s.-George E. Rob-
erts, the director Of the mint, to-day made
public his preliminary estimate OF the pro-
duction of gold and silver in the United
States during the calendar year 1900. The
aggregate of gold is given as 3,S37,213 fine
ounces, valued at $40. So, PSI, and of silver
59610.543 fine ounces, which. at the approx
mate average price of 81 cents for the
year, makes the value $685. S1. During
the calendar year 1899 the gold production
was s77O53,40O and the silver production
81, 764, 500 fine ounces. The Nome gold and
silver production for 1900 is given as S. 100,-
900, and that of the Klondike, which in
cludes both American and Canadian fields.
So, 2S7, $3.50. The product Of the Canadian
mines is not included in the figures given,
but as the gold and silver comes to the
American minis the value is given sep
arately. Following is the production by
States and Territories in gold value and
in silver fine ounces, the first figures be-

No Plan of Procedure in Regard to
Nicely ct Al. Yet Decided On.

WASHINGTON. Jan. S.-It is said, at the
War Department, that no plan of action
has been decided upon with reference to
the cases Of Nicely, Rathbone, ct al, in
connection with the Cuban postal frauds,
this being in anticipation Of the decision of
the Supreme Court in the Nicely case, in
volving the question Of the jurisdiction of
the United States in Cuban affairs. The
statement was made, however, that the
cases undoubtedly would be prosecuted in
this country, in the possible event that the
Supreme Court should decide against the
extradition of Nicely. In what manner this
would be done was not explained, but it
was stated that Nicely might possibly be
tried in New York on the charge on which
he was arrested, namely, bringing stolen
goods into the country, if 1t should be de-
cided that he could not be sent TO Cuba for
trial on the charge of embezzling public
funds. Secretary Root said, to-day, that
future action in these cases would depend
entirely upon the character of the decision
OF the Supreme Court.

No Subsidy ON the Lakes.
New York Journal.

The first steamer of new ocean-going
line was launched at South Chicago on
Saturday. 1t will be one of four American
ships to ply between Chicago and Liver
pool without subsidies. by way of the
Canadian canals. 1t will carry 1900 tons
of freight. The reason IL will not carry
10000 tons is that the canals are not large
enough. A canal that would take a 6OOO-
ton steamer from the lakes to the ocean
across the State of New York instead of
across Canada could be built for $500. OOO-
900. The interest on the cost of its con-
struction would be A.000,e00 a year and
the tolls would pay interest and principal.
With such n canal the shipbuilders of the
great lakes would send the American flag
into every sea without a cent of subsidy.
