THOROUGHLY CLEANED.
Prompt and Emcient Work Of the
President In the Post
once Affair.

The summary dismissal Of Charles
Hedges and the statement as to the
cause of this dismissal well illustrates
not only the thoroughness with which
the president is pushing this investi-
CATION, but also the network of graft
that had, through years OF complais-
ance, come to enmesh the whole post
Office department. Hedges had falsi-
fed his official dairy, made under oath,
in order to collect the "a per diem to
which he was entitled while travelling
as superintendent of free delivery, and
had loaned his travelling commission
to one of his clerks. In reply to the
charges Hedges explains that such
methods we're the regular thing. and
were approved by his superior.

to a high place In history, says the
Indianapolis Journal. 1t has required
courage of very high order, for not
a few of the men hurt in this business
were able to command in one way or
another very great political and social
influence. Had the president shown
weakness or hesitation at any point he
would have been overwhelmed with
appeals and demands for leniency
from all quarters, including. doubt
less. many personal and political
friends. For many of the irregulari-
ties presidents have been found. run

ministrations, and there seems to have
been q very general practice of twist
ing legal interpretations to the per-
sonal convenience and profit Of on
Gals.

A GOOD INDICATION.
Business Activity of Railroads shows
That Prosperity IL Not

The railroad earnings may be taken
as a very fair index of the country'0
prosperity and the general business ac-
tivity. II is remarkable fact that every
week for the last year has witnessed an
Increase in these earnings as compared
with the corresponding period Of the
previous year. The gains for the pres
emit calendar year have been 10.1 per
cent. for January. 1876 per cent. for
February, 14.5 per cent. for March, 14.3
per cent. for April, IL per cent. for May
and al per cent. for June. The ST.

Coins Minted for Use In Philippines
Fail to Circulate Freely-Bank-
ers to Aid Government.

Manila, Aug. THE effort Of the
United States government to intro
duce its new currency into the Phil
ippine islands has not met with the
success that was anticipated. AL
though large quantity of the coins
minted at San Francisco has reached
the islands. there is considerable pref
udice against their use. especially in
the provinces. The bankers of Ma
Mia. having become convinced IT the
necessity OF action in the matter, held
a conference Thursday with Gov. Taft
and after full discussion promised to
render the government all the aid In
their power to secure the acceptance
OF the American peso as the standard
of value and the general use of the
new coins.

Dean C. Worcester, Philippine commits

task OF establishing a civil government In

home to Thetford. VT. He reports that the

proceeds of o reduced import customs duty.
and that the land tax Is solving the prob

The anti-imperialists may tell us that
this man is simply singing his own
praises. Not unlikely they will accuse
him of seeing the things he speaks of In
too rosy light. They are extremely re-
luctant to accept any representation of
the condition of affairs In the Philip
pines which does not square with their
predictions that American occupation
would become intolerable and disastrous
to the natives and end in failure and
disgrace for ourselves. They have at
no time shown any patience with state
ments proceeding from any source which
told of progress and record creditable
to the American authorities.
And yet we may receive without ques-
ton this report Of Prof Worcester. His
word alone would carry 1t. But there
are many things to support 1t. Plague,
pestilence and famine have been tackled
with resolution and system, and sue
cessfully dealt with. Improvements
have been made. The revenues have
been honestly collected and applied to
the public benefit. AS result the peo-
Die as rule are contented, and the
more they see of It the better they like
the working of American sovereignty.
We have accomplished in something like
four years what our critics both at home
and abroad declared we could never ac-
complish. and We are now on a firm
basis.
The question, however, Is still pro-
pounded. Why not fix day for with
drawal and for handing over the archi-
pelago to the Filipinos? AS matter
of fact, successful as we have been, we
have but begun our task. The Filipinos
are but beginning to learn what govern
ment is which has care for all the peo-
pie. They may be quick enough, but
there are many valuable lessons for
them still to learn. And 1t may turn

probability, indeed-that as we perfect
our plans there. and demonstrate our
capacity to develop the country, an at

as prejudicial to their interests. Walt

PROSPERITY TO BE CONTINUED
Ex-secretary Carlisle Predicts That
There VIII BE No Halt
I'm Good Times.

The opinion continues to prevail that
the general prosperity Of the country
will not be affected by the recent slumr
in the stock market. On the contrary a
period of liquidation for the spectators
at a time when other conditions are
favorable is regarded as healthy symp-
tom, says the Des Moines Register and
Leader.
There seems to be a very general
agreement that ex-Secretary Carlisle ID
warranted in his statement in a recent
interview that there Is no good reason
for expecting halt in the prosperity
of the country" AS Nr. Carlisle views
business conditions confidence does
not seem to have been shaken. Business
is good, money is plentiful. crops have
been bountiful, with good prices pre-
vailing. The country merchant is not
in debt. The farmer has his mortgage
paid. The savings banks have more
money than ever before in the history
Of the country. think we can face the
future with few fears"
The banks had their warning year
ago, and began then to protect them
selves. They are not in position now
to be wrecked by the failure of even the
heaviest spectators And until the
banks begin to suspend panic or serious
depression in business cannot come, I'M
less there is cause for 1t In the failure
Of crops or in some other disaster that
affects the people directly. No real cause
of business depression exists at the pres
ent time. The actual wealth OF the
country is increasing rapidly, every
body is employed and money is plentiful.
The readjustment in Wall street will be
good thing for everybody, when 1t Is
completed. and 1t now seems that this
will be accomplished without loss ex-
cepting to those who are entitled to
| lose.
