RUSSELL sAGEs VIEWS.

1t may be doubted whether so much
any similar number of months as since
last fall. The New York papers are
full of stories about this man and that
man who has made pile There seems
no doubt that speculation has been ram
pant and that there is danger of a col
lapse. Here is a story in a New York
exchange about the views of the cautious
and conservative capitalist, Russell Sage,
which is timely:
Russell Sage, when asked today what
his idea of the present financial situation
was said: Values have not increased.
Properties now so high can be repro
duced for one-half what they are sell
ing for. The present condition OF the
market is unnatural and liable to lead
to great losses and perhaps panic.
What is the cause?'
Reckless speculation he replied with
emphasis
Because spectators are all drunk and
don't know what they are doing added
Mrs. Sage, who was listening with deep
interest. They have sent stocks OF all
sorts up in balloons and think they'll
never come down, but they surely will.
That's just it, remarked Mr.. Sage
approvingly It's imitation, and it has
continued longer than / thought it would
Unless there is a speedy change and the
men who are now adrift come to their
senses and return to sound business
methods, disaster is inevitable"
Mr.. Sage comments upon the 'absurdity
of trying to represent railroads as worth
double what others could be put down be-
side them for. Mr.. Sage asks: ''Who
would want to pay twice as much for
a house as it would cost to duplicate it,"
And then, by way of advice, Nov is the
time to exercise prudence, reduce prices,
take in sail and keep lose to shore,
and he adds:
..'The longer this financial condition con-
tinues, the greater will be the sacrifice
in the end, for prices have got to come
down. There can be no other way. They
must come down. | believe in the old
fashioned, honest way of doing business,
giving men the worth of their money,
showing them something of equal value
when they are asked to invest. The worst
feature of the market today is that this
recklessness is leading to general ex-
pansion of other values beyond those of
railroads. 1t is all of piece with the
South-s sea bubble craze, and will end in
disaster, if once allowed to affect general
values of the country"

ALL MUST COME TO IT.

The ablest men in Virginia are being
chosen to represent the State in the Con-
stitutional convention which is soon to be
held mainly to consider the question Of
regulating suffrage. In common with all
the Southern States that have a large
negro population, Virginia has found it
necessary to suppress large portion Of
the negro vote. To do so in any way ex-
cent by constitutional elimination works
an injury to the politics of the State
These evils are felt to such large extent
in Virginia that the people wish to be rid
of the mass of the negro by constitutional
amendment.
At the last session of the Georgia Leg
islature the proposition to submit suf-
frage amendment was voted down That
State will postpone such restriction as
long as it can, as North Carolina did, but
it and all other Southern States must
come to some such elimination as has
taken place in Mississippi, Louisiana and
South Carolina. Governor Gambler, who
is a long headed public man, who thinks
the Mississippi plan the best, is quoted
as saying:
Il think it would be well for Georgia to
follow the example set by Alabama, Mis-
sissippi ard North Carolina and revise
the constitution. At present it hampers
enterprise and is generally not perfect.
Some restriction of the ballot is neces-
sary. The white primary will do for a
while, but temporary expedient of that
character will not serve for all time. We
need something that will meet the re-
quirements for years. We should follow
the example of other Southern States.
All Southern States must come to 1T.

FUNSTON MUST WAIT.
Cabinet to Await Further Par
ticulars From Manila.

Washington. March 29.-The cabinet
meeting today was devoted almost en-
tfrely to a discussion of the capture Of
Aguinaldo. its effect upon the military
situation in the Philippines, the dispo-
sition to be made of the insurgent chief
and the reward to be given to General
Funston. The subject was considered in
all its phases, but no definite conclu-
sions were reached either with regard
to General Funston's reward or to the
punishment of Aguinaldo.
The president and all members of the
cabinet are in favor of the most liberal
and substantial recognition of the serv-
ice performed by General Funston
There was some discussion of the ques-
tion of making him a brigadier general
in the regular army, but. it was thought
full reports should be awaited before
action is taken. The matter probably
will be allowed to rest where it is for
the present General Funston is hold
ing a volunteer commission as brig
adler general which will not expire un-
til June so of this year, so that so far
as honor and emoluments are concerned
his standing would not be prejudiced by
the delay
The disposition to be made of Aguir
aldo was matter that could not be dis
posed of definitely. Whatever action is
taken in regard to him will originate
with the army officials in the Philippines
and be passed upon finally here There
is no inclination to deal harshly with the
man who has led the insurrection
against the forces of this country. Scr.e
of the cabinet officers think it is possibe
he may be used with good effect by the
authorities of the Philippine commission
is the establishment of civil government.
Gen MacArthur's dispatch suggesting
that Aguinaldo might issue an address
advising the insurgents to accept the sit
uaTion was pointed to as indicating pos
sibnities along this line On the othe~
hand Aguinaldo's record has not been
such as to win for him great confidence
in his constancy and if his influence can
not be utilized safely he undoubtedly
will be sent to some place where he can
Torrent no further trouble. Guam was
mentioned as possible place for his de-
ten1on.
The president and his cabinet believe
that the capture of Aguinaldo will mean
much in the crushing of the insurTectior-
Indeed they are inclined to believe now
that it means the utter collapse of the
opposition to the authority of the United
States.
