1t thinks Most of them should stay

There are one or two who ought to be

As to an isthmian waterway. the Ma

unfortunate that there should be diff

m,KINLEY DAY.

Those who are planning to contribute
a mite to honor the memory of the mar
tyred president should remember Gov
ernor Cummins' proclamation urging
the people to make January 29-tomor-
row--a day of special contributions to
the Mckinley monument fund. This is
the fund to be used for the erection of
suitable monument over the lamented
presidents grave at Canton, o. The
wise suggestion has been made, and will
to some extent be acted upon, that the
money for the Canton monument shall
be raised by small amounts contribut-
ed by the people at all points in the ma
ton, rather than by a few large sub
scriptions. Many such contributions
have already been made, and the sum
will be greatly increased by Wednes-
days gifts. 1t was Governor Cummins'
suggestion, also, that patriotic exercises
be held in every school house, and that
from teachers and pupils for the monu-
ment. Governor Cummins further asks
that next Sunday, Feb 2, be set aside
by the churches for reference to the
death OF the president, and that an OPP
portunity be afforded to all to contrib
ute on that date. He recommends that
all organizations or associations at their
meetings on or about Jan. 90 take up
the matter ard arrange for donations.
The occasions mentioned Will be APP
propriate ones for paying due honor TO
the president. statesman and patriot so
universally esteemed. 1t will probably
be the las. opportunity for the people
to show in practical way their affec-
ton for this great man.

SINKING FUND AND PUBLIC DEBT.

An article of value to the historian and
the economist is contributed to the Feb
ruary Forum by Representative III. S.
! Boutell, who writes on The Sinking
Fund and the Public Debt" He sums
up by a strong recommendation that
periods of peace and prosperity should be
devoted to the discharge of national OBJ
! legations and to laying the sure founda-
tons for public credit. He says in part:
! The lessons of the history of the sink
ing fund and the payment of the public
cebt are important and should frequent
/ ly be recalled. Altho nations should al
Ways be prepared, so far as possible, for
the unexpected, sudden emergencies will
arise which call for abnormal expendi-
lures and justify extraordinary meas
Tres, including sometimes. in dire ex-
tremities. forced loans and the issue of
lirredeemable currency.
In these days OF extended international
credit national hoard is of little or no
benefit TO the government, while the
concentration of money, by Withdrawing
| it from the channels of productive in
dustry, is direct injury to the people.
nation that promptly pays its debts
can contract new debts on the most fa-
vorable terms. Nations. like individuals,
can provide for the payment of their in
debtedness only by economy and saving
An automatically working sinking fund
is myth. No sinking fund can be de-
vised that will even operate constantly
with certainty and provision. For this
there are two reason: Q) the discharge
OF the public debt, and even the payment
of interest, must yield at times to the
superior demands of the state for its
own preservation: and (2) even a sover-
eign legislature can not bind the hands
OF its successors.
The rise and fall of public revenues are
so sudden and so Incapable of being
foretold that reduction OF revenue, when
justifiable. should always be made grad
ually and with caution. Temporary or
emergency taxes should be repealed be-
fore changes. designed solely for reve-
rue reduction, are made in the perma-
nent sources of the national income.
The history OF the debts of modern ma
tions-for national debts are a matter of
the last 200 years-has demonstrated the
vast difference that exists between the
principles of private and public finan-
ciering. The chief aim of the man en-
gagged in private business is the aecumu-
lation of surplus and its profitable in
vestment. Wise and successful public
financiering consists, however, in the
incest possible adjustment of receipts to
expenditures, avoiding both constantly
recurring deficits, and constantly ac-
cumulating surplus.
In conclusion, the story of the payment
of our national debt enforces this pre-
cept, that periods of peace and prosper
ity should be devoted to the discharge OF
national obligations and to laying the
sure foundations for public credit: for
1t is a nations credit, and not its army
or navy, that makes 1t impregnable.

REFORM IN NEW YORK.

A great deal of public interest has
centered in the work of the new reform
administration in New York city, with
Seth Low as mayor. which wrenched
that great metropolis from the grasp
of corrupt Tammany officials. Some
of the impulsive and impracticable re-
formers. who expected that Mayor Low
would close all the saloons and dives
Of sin at once, became impatient and
fretful and were inclined to criticize
and condemn the new officials. They
were especially solicitous to close the
unlawful saloons on Sunday. despite
the fact that when these were closed
there would remain over 1000 places
open where on Sunday liquor could be
lawfully sold.
Mayor Low has responded to the
letters addressed to him on this sub
tect, and says he is doing all he can
to enforce the excise law without neg
lecting other laws. The fact is, he
says, the excise law has been enforced
up to the very limit of what is practi-
cable, with the means at command,
and that by virtue of this law the pub
lie sale of liquor has been stopped and
a peaceable and orderly Sunday has
been already more perfectly secured,
since January l. as he judges from the
public press, than certainly at any
time for four years past.
He sums up his conclusions in this
way: The attitude of this admins
tration toward the excise law can be
force the excise law as one of the gen.
eral body of laws which 1t is called up
on to enforce in the best manner prac-
ticable with the means at its disposal.
It will take immediate cogniZance OF
any complaint of breach of the law
that is called to its attention, but 1t
will not concentrate the entire police
force on this one law and let all other
laws go by the board. 1t will also do
everything II can while it is in power
to break up the bribery and corruption
OF which the excise law has been for
so long the fruitful parent"
The conclusion is being reached by
the thoughtful people that the sale of
liquors in that great city can not be
wholly stopped.
The reform administration is doing
good work and will continue to improve
the morals OF the city. Some of the
centers of vice are being purified. The
latest movement made was that on
Friday night on the old Bowery. Raids
were made on more than. dozen no.
torious resorts by nearly 100 policemen
and many inmates captured. Hither-
to the place has been largely protected
by Tammany police.
It is evident that Mayor Low is do
ing good work and he should be sup
ported by the people.

direction would be the placing of the
road work OF an entire county in the
hands of an elective county officer with
instructions TO employ competent men
to do the work and to require all road
taxes to be paid in cash. A good man
with power to employ such help as he
needed could accomplish three times as
much for the roads as is accomplished
under the present system 1t believes
Sensible working of the roads means
the cutting of hills, filing in the low
places and properly ditching and bridg-
ing the roads where needed. We can not
expect to get Iowa roads macadamized
for some years to come, but we can put
some common sense into the work done
