French Finance and Russia's De
~ cline.

One of the first acts of M. Rouvier,
the new French premier, was the defn-
Ing for the benefit of finance, of the
position Of the French government with
reference to speculation. Not only did
the premier let it be understood that
the government frowns upon anything
savoring Of the speculative, but he went
50 far as to personally address the lead
ers among the Agents de Change, re-
questing that they use their influence to
hold business in the purchase and sale
of securities within narrow limits.
High finance in France is always in
much closer touch with affairs govern
mental than is the case in our country.
There have been times when Washing
= ton and Wall street have acted in clos
est harmony for the general good, as,
for instance, when the secretary Of the
treasury has had to deal with money
scarcity. There does not exist, how
ever, any such intimate relationship as
in France.
-.. The situation is, therefore, not exact
~ as tho Secretary Hay should confer
with the magnates of Wall street, with
the view of preventing the rise Of a
speculative interest, but there is some
+ analogy, and since no one will imagine
such direct governmental supervision
OF interference in our country without
the gravest reason for it, we may we'll
infer that it is no ordinary, occasion
that sends the premier of France to the
French moneybags to ask their inf1u-
/ ence on the side Of stability. '.
The fact of it is that France sees
in the Russian situation the possibility
3 for great financial disturbance. Thous-
ands upon thousands of French families
have their little savings invested in
Russian securities, representing great
railroad or industrial undertakings. or
government borrowings, the total
French holdings Of Russian obligations
being estimated at $1,8O0,OO0,OOO. As
]. the war has gone on and the Japanese
have made advances, the French banks
the brokers, the press, and the govern
ment inspiring all, have united to sus-
u tain credit, and the people have been
assured that all would be right. The
fall of Port Arthur was an additional
weight upon sentiment; the slaughter
q Of the workingmen in the streets of
st. Petersburg the worst Of all, for it
3 suggested revolution. This it was that
I prompted the French governmental
I prayer for the cooperation Of all for
{ the maintenance of steadiness and the
/ prevention of anything that might give
! occasion for or even suggest financial
/ panic.
The premier says that for the present
] the Agents de Change should discour-
age the fotation of new bond or stock
issues, or the promotion Of new enter

Another Statehouse Picture.

To the Editor Of The Journal.
i was pleased to note in your columns

For some weeks past It has been very
1orclply brought home to me that the
walls OF the great state building should
receive another picture that would com

was full OF pioneer Experiences. and he
was where he must observe much that
was passing as the tide Of emigration
roned along. One day In particular he
counted hfty-six emigrant wagons-prairie
schooners as they were called-movine
slowly on In line, and his father returned
from La Crosse on one day in a certain
spfingtlme with the astounding renort
that 5000 Of these movers wagons had

EVERY wagon represented a familv-a.

speak for the mother, and try to realize
something of her faithfulness, her valor
ana her virtue. Separated from the home
IN ar-away Maine, Or some Intervening

this noble state of Minnesota such foun

deserve descriptive picture upon the
walls OF the new capitol that will tell to

Senator Gjertsen's bill introduced yes
terday Is one that opens the way for
home rule in Minneapolis at last If the
charter had been submitted on a. separate
ballot last fall it is probable that it would
have been adopted by large majority.
If the Gjertsen bill carries, it should only
be necessary to submit the same instru-
ment again. The bill also applies to char
ter amendments for cities that have at
tanned home rule, and should make it
easy to adopt needed amendment. Under
the separate ballot it will not only be pos
sible to adopt home rule charter, but to
bring it UP to date by means of amend
ments. .-.-.-... $50

Governor Folk of Missouri, who has a
lSnack of being right on many public u,1es-
tions, believes, and tells the legislature so,
that every elector in his state should be
compelled to go to the polls and cast his
ballot, whether he wishes to or not. This
is on the ground that voting is not so
much a privilege as duty. It might be
difficult to gather in all the citizens, but
it would be easy to slap a poll tax on non
voters and to take it off Of voters. The
idea is worth thinking about.

full account of the Hako, Pawnee cere-
mony, written by Alice G. Fletcher, with

and is said to hold interesting themes for
American composers. The ceremony was
religious in nature and its purpose, &C.
cording to the author, was twofold:
First, to benefit certain individuals by
bringing to them the promise of children
long life and plenty; second, to affect the
