The best financial system on
earth" got a very severe jolt when
the sun rose Monday morning. 1T
is a sad commentary on the system
at best when a coterie in New York
can tie up all the banks in the
country in twenty-four hours right
in the face of complete solvency.
1t is a pretty strong argument in
favor OF government ownership.

between various ports of embarka- tion of immigrants in Europe to ports on the south coast of this country.
 Following recommendation of Commissioner Sergeant, of the im- migration bureau, bill has been in- troduced in congress to provide an immigration station in New Orleans. The measure has received the cordial approval of Secretary Straus, as New Orleans is regarded as an excellent distributing point for immigrants who desire to locate anywhere in the south or southwest. Secretary Straus believes that the tide of immigration to this country should not be check ed, but he is of opinion that the im- migrants should be so distributed over the country as to avoid the con- gestion in the great cities of the north. The carrying out of such a plan for the distribution of immi- grants would be good, it is maintain ed. not only for the immigrants, themselves, but for the country.
 It is scarcely likely that the measure providing for an immigra- tion station at New Orleans will be enacted at the present session, but it is, thought to be almost certain of enactment in the next congress. The establishment of an adequate and suitable station at New Orleans will be followed, 1t is assured, by the landing there of immigrants from at least three lines of steamships. In time, these lines will furnish all the labor that is so much needed throughout the southwest and south.

Speaking of the coming Dublin ex- position Consul Moe gives the follow ing following statistics concerning Ireland which are interesting at this time: Of the total area of Ireland, about Is per cent is under woods. The latest return shows 3O1.132 acres of forests, of which 44,227 are larch. s1,2s1 fir. 1s.2O1 spruce, B. 23e pine. 22,53s oak. 5,521 ash, e.533 beech, 2.75s elm, 2.s13 syca- more. and 1e1.2i4 mixed" Re- garding Irish transportation of all kinds. the rates are so excessively high that all healthfuI industry and commerce inland is practically de stroyed. From year to year the rail- way freight business is losing ground: rates are going up. and the industries of the island are perishing because they can not conveniently get to market. The total length of railway lines in Ireland Is 3.zes

miles, the authorized capital of which amounts to $217.s53.242. The twen- ty odd bacon factories in Ireland slaughter annually about S50,000 pigs and employ 1,600 hands. The, largest of these factories are situated in Limerick and Tralee. and the larger part of the produce Is shipped to England. Agricultural male la borers in Leinster receive in the sum- mer from 42 cents to $1.09 . day; females, 36 to 48 cents; and boys, 20 to 36 cents. Day laborers get $S.40 to $6.0S week; railway and street-car employees, $3.40 to $4.38 . week; domestic servants. $50 to $100 a year. In some other parts of the island the wages are less. It is esti- mated that 25,000 laborers leave Ireland during the harvest season for England and Scotland, and that their savings in wages abroad amounts to
 $1,500,000. Since 1851 there have emigrated 2,092,154 males and l.
 936,435 females, total of 4, 4,02S,5S9.
 The emigration in 1852 was the larg-
 est-190,32a--and in 1905 1t was
 the smallest-31,172.

Somewhat easier conditions have prevailed in the money market and the imports of a moderate amount of gold tended to improve local senti- ment, says Banker Clews. At the moment, Europe shows no pro- nounced opposition to the movement of specie in this direction; and the indications are for further moderate imports. Should, however. American demands become heavy or insistent, resistance would probably quickly develop. The Bank of England re- gently demonstrated very effectively its control over the international ex- changes, and strong sentiment pre- vails in London for the protection of the banks reserves. The Bank of England now holds G34,000,OOO gold, compared with G 32,O00, 900 a year ago. The Bank of France holds nearly t 900, compared with
 s114,OOO,0O0 z a year ago; while the Bank of Germany holds about s32,- 0OO,O0 against s35.0O0, 900 last year. These figures do not suggest conditions favorable to any large movement of gold in this direction. Such amounts as We succeed in ob- taining will most likely be taken from the open market. It is difficult to ascertain whether the interna- tional movement of securities has been favorable to New York or not. The short term notes have not been taken so freely on the other side as at one time expected. Moderate amounts. however, have been sent across; and it remains to be seen how far these have been offset by the return of securities abroad.

ently and on his own responsibility. without any sufficient evidence in support of the same.
 This charge is not made in the main protest, and counsel for the pro testants at the outset of the invcsti- gation very frankly admitted that they had no proof to offer in support of this allegation"
 In his opening address on the Shoot case, Senator Burrow, who seems determined that Shoot shall be unseated, said: "Let me say at the outset, touching the charge that the senator from Utah is a polyg- amist, and for that reason. dis qualified from holding a seat in this body, no evidence was submitted ill committee in support of that allega- tiOn and, so far as the investigation discloses that the senator stands ac- quilted of that charge"
 In the event of the unseating of Senator Shoot, t,the action of the sen ate would be taken because he Is a member of that body of twelve apos- ties of the Mormon church. It is con tellucu Dt HIS OpIJOucutS tuut, Ut Nu- rIOus times as q member of the Nor mon apostles, he has decided with the Mormon hierarchy against the wish of this state and nation. He is charged, too with encouraging pOlyg- amy, in that he voted. as an apostle, to elevate Joseph F. Smith to the presidency of the Mormon church, knowing at the time that Smith was a polygamist.
 Whether such acts constitute bar to his sitting as a United States sena- tor is the question which the senate will have to decide.
 Politics cuts some figure in the case. for it has been said that deal was made between the republican party and the Mormon church by which Shoot was to be permitted to retain his seat. This is denied by leading republicans, including Sena- tor Burrows, and 1t is not to he given too great weight. It is a fact, how ever. that many democrats will vote against Smoot, as will some republi cans. also: but the case is not one which will be determined on party lines.

British journals, manufacturers and merchants are advocating a re- form in the Kingdoms patent laws. and a government official has assured them that such a bill will be intro duced into parliament at an early date. The difference in Britain's patent laws with those of the con- tinent are claimed to have caused Britain to lose the coal tar and chem- ical industry. England grants pat ents without the restriction imposed by Germany and other countries that the invention be worked in three years. An Englishman found a tex tile mill in Hungary equipped with built locally from models patented in England. The American patent laws are similar to those of

 The governor of New York state, by making himself responsible for whatever is done in his name, is guaranteeing to the people of the state that he is to be the executive in fact as we'll as in name, an assur- ance which is by this time scarcely in view of his acts and words, al- ready sufficient notice to the public and the politicians.-Exchange.
 England is enjoying so much pros pefity that the leading journals ad- vocating tariff are now side step ping. It is also prosperity in this country that makes the tariff re- formers go slow. So you see pros- perity works both ways-for and against tariff. It is now up to some scholar of modern finance to solve the question.-Middletown Press.
 Corridor, or perhaps we might bet ter say lobby gossip at the Capitol in Hartford, says that but few of the reforms suggested or recommended by Governor Woodruff will get through the legislature. The repub- lican machine Is encouraged in its fight against them by its early yic- tory in the county commissioner mat ter, and is confident that it has put and can keep in hole a reforming executive.-Bridgeport Farmer.
 After all, why legislate for trial marriages or trial divorces? Witness the case of Hoboken couple, who have filed papers for separation con taining -..e unusual provision that 1t is to be for only one year. The ex- planation given was that the couple feared they had ceased to love each other. It remains to be seen wheth- CT or not absence will make the heart grow fonder, but the principle of trial marriage and divorce appears to be made actual use of whether in the existing law.-New Haven Palladi- um.
 To cure the abuses that have grown up about the county system as it is now developed in Connecticut. the New Haven Register would "abol- ish the county" Not this evening" smother evening" perhaps! The county is too deeply rooted to be pulled up and thrown away even if all the evils alleged are gathered about it. We may scrape oil the scale" and burn off the worms nests, but We shall not cut the tree down till it has been demonstrated that all other methods are of no ava!l.-Bridgepor Standard.

WILL BE SENT SOUTH.
Government to Encourage Emigrants
 to Go in That Direction.

Washington, D. C., Feb 9.-Immi- grafton to the southern states is to be encouraged by the government in every possible and proper way. The southland needs labor of an indus trious and dependable kind. The de- velopment of its great resources prac- tically, absolutely, is dependent on the ability of its people to obtain la borers who will work and who may be relied upon to do what they agree to do.
 It is not a question of wages, for the wage offered the negroes and paid them when they work generally is considered fair. The difficulty is that a majority of the negro laborers will work only when the spirit moves them and. ordinarily, it does not move them until they are pressed for the absolute necessaries of life. Once they get a few dollars ahead. many of them stop working as if they had been shot at and nothing will induce them to return to their labor until their money is exhausted.
 Southern men. in and out of con- gress. maintain that the south cannot reach it's highest state of develop ment so long as 1t is dependent upon that kind of labor. and it is their idea that immigration of good class should be encouraged by every pos sible means to locate in the south. It is the intention of Secretary Straus. of the department of com merce and labor. to do all he properly can to induce European immigrants to locate in the southern states,
 instead of aggregating themselves in
 to colonies in northern cities. To ] that end every facility is to be afford ed not only the southern states.

A visitor to the senate at Washing ton recently noted the absence of Senator Teller of Colorado, and re- called an interesting fact in his ca reer. As boy he was employed on a farm in Alleghany county, New York. With him were Chaffee, Beck, Kiernan, McPherson and Cameron. In 1877 when the roll of the senate was called, Teller responded from Colorado. Chaffee from the same state, Beck from Kentucky, Kiernan from New York, McPherson from New Jersey and Cameron from Wis., consin. Teller is the only one of those mentioned who is living.

TO VOTE ON ss.ooT.
Opinjon Seems to Re That He Will
 Not Be Cnseatetl.

Washington, D. C., Feb 9.-Reed Shoot. the Mormon apostle in the United States senate, probably will he declared entitled to retain his seat in that body by the vote which is to be taken on the 20th Inst.
 This Is consensus of opinion of members of the senate. A careful canvas of the senate has been made and 1t indicates that Shoot will win by a substantial majority. despite the unusually fierce fight which has been made on him.
 A good deal of transformation has been disseminated regarding Senator Shoots status, both in the senate and in the Mormon church. He is a Mormon and he is a member of the body Of twelve apostles of that church. These facts have been established by evidence taken by the senate com mittee on privileges and elections. Indeed. they are not denied by Sen ator Smoot himself.
 Senator Shoot. himself. is not a polygamist. That fact. also. was es- tablIshesi by the evidence taken by Illp. GpNntuiuet MaHy >tdttuifuts have made in the newspaper press and on the public platform charging that Senator Shoot has been guilty of plural marriage. These statements were not substantiated before the committee. As a matter of fact. Sem ator Burrows.

That postal committee of senators and congressman that is trying to re- duce the size of newspapers in order to save the forests of the country, is no doubt engaged in a laudable enter prise.
