gus. I'VE are officially informed that
the panic is over that the stringency
in the money market is relieved; that
by the 18th of December the banks
will resume payment, and business re-
turn to its normal conditions. For all
this, let us be profoundly grateful, and
also thankful that it has been no worse.
But it does seem strange that after
10 years of uneXampled prosperity
with abundant crops and good prices,
with an enormous, almost uncounted,
output of manufactures, with an annual
balance of trade in our favor amount
ing to hundreds of millions, so sudden
ly should come reaction so wide
spread and so alarming. Why is it?
All the doctors are promptly on
hand, each with a cause and its APP
propriate remedy. Speculation, says
one, reckless and frenzied finance.
Remedy-prohibit speculation by law.
A wrong currency system, says anoth-
err Remedy-an elastic currency, or
an asset currency. Want of confidence
in banks. Remedy-make Uncle Sam
guaranteer of banks. An unjust or
lunscientific system of taxation. Rem
edy-a new method of tax. And so il
goes. ,.-.
The situation recalls the quack doc
| tor, who, looking out at the window of
his Office, saw an old lady approach
ing, and said to himself: Here comes
mother. I'll give her a little of every
thing in the shop. Some of it will be
right"
And, while the gentlemen are debat-
ing the merits of their respective rem.
edies, let us look in another direction
and see if we cannot find causes of an
entirely different character underlying
these material conditions more wide
spread in their workings, and more
potent in results. We refer to moral

Says Starr is Wrong.
In his address last evening Rev. Mr.
Clark renewed his attack, declaring
Professor STAIRS recent series of arti-
cles published in the Chicago Tribune
regarding affairs in the Congo to be
entirely at error. He stated that Pro-
fessor Starr either kept away from
the region of horrors purposely or wit
messed them and gave them a false
color in his accounts of the conditions.
He added that Professor Starr did wit
ness some of the outrages as he and
the professor had at one time made a
journey into the interior which brought
them face to face with some of the
horrors.
