HUGHES AS A CANDIDATE.

The speech of President Schurman
of Cornell university, at Cooper I'm
ion, New York, can be taken only as
announcement that Governor Hughes
of New York has signified that he
will not decline to stand as a candi-
date for the nomination of the Re-
publican party for the presidency.
In the attitude Governor Hughes
has taken great many Republicans,
as well as a great many Democrats
and members of other parties, will
find relief. His stand gives the
masses a candidate to their liking.
1t does away with the necessity of
supporting Taft, who previous to the
coming forward of Governor Hughes
was the only real hope among the
aspirants avowedly before the public.
While we believe Taft could have
been nominated and elected with

San Francisco is and always has

own, where there is room not only
for the increases that will as a matter

CUMBERLAND ELY Is ENOUGH

Cumberland Ely Is alone big
enough in it's tremendous ore posses
sions to operate it's great smelling
and concentrating plant at McGill for
years at double the capacity which
has been planned. The demands of
Cumberland Ely alone will compel
within two years additional furnaces,
just as the Copper Queen at Bisbee
has raised it's equipment steadily
from five furnaces at Douglas to nine
and just as it is now adding steadily
to the number, plans being prepared
for the addition of three more at the
present time.
With the backing of such a prop
erty as Cumberland Ely is conceded
to be by all who have visited it's
workings, the Robinson district
has nothing to fear with regard to
length of life and great prosperity
through the years to come. All the
rest of the mines of the district
might be eliminated and the camp
still be the biggest of the west, pro-
ducing at cost assuring profits on
production and market for output
at all times

FINANCE RIGHTING ITSELF.

The most encouraging reports con-
tinue to come from the east in regard
to the upbuilding of business conf
dence and the increase of the avail
able money supply. New York drew
some $6O,OOO,0O0 of gold from Eu-
rope, mostly from London, before the
rate of discount was put so high as
to stop further gold exports to this
country. But even while this move
ment of gold was in progress, new
supplies of the yellow metal were
pouring in. The Rand supplied of
new gold, 553,553 fine ounces dur
ing the month of October, or SILL
441,930; Rhodesia supplied enough
more to put the South African gold
output of the month up to 13,00O,-
900. Our own country supplied over
$S,000,000 during the same month;
Australia another $8,O00,000; and
the rest of the world say $4,000, 700;
SO that more than half of the Gloss"
Of gold to Europe was made good at
once in new product. The present
month will see the full $60,000,0O0
replaced by new gold.
In the meantime, the weekly New
York bank statement caused some
needless anxiety; for, though it show
ed that the reserves had been con-
siderably depleted, this should have
been no surprise, for the very pur-
pose of these reserves is to meet such
emergencies as the one which has
now drawn upon them; and in meet
ing this one, the reserves have sim
ply fulfilled their proper function.
This is very fairly and candidly stat
ed in the editorial columns of the
New York Evening Post, as follows:
Much attention has been paid to
the somewhat startling figures of the
weekly New York bank statement;
especially to the $51,924,OO0 def
cheney below the 25 per cent ratio of
reserve to deposits required by the
national bank law. A little exam
ination will prove, however, that the
showing is by no means so sensa-
tional or disquieting as might at
first glance be supposed It is true
that this deficit of last Saturday is
the largest in our banking history.
The largest deficiency reported in the
panic of 1893 was $16,545,0O0, on
August ~, and although the banks
ceased publishing their weekly state
ments in the panic of 1873, it is
wholly improbable that any such de-
felt could then have been created.
But the test of the present situation
IS not obtained by comparison of act
lal deficit figures, but by comparison
II the ratio of reserve to deposits still
maintained after that deficit was Gre

Hughes out of the field, we do not
believe that his choice would have
left a good taste in the public mouth
Nor would this be by reason of OBJ
lection to Taft as Taft, but to Taft as
coming at the direction of Roosevelt
Unpopular as is the third term idea,
still less popular to the voter is die
tation, or the bare semblance of die
tation. Roosevelt could poll a larger
vote than Taft, Hughes a larger vote
than either of them.
As a matter of fact the Roosevelt
noise has grown tiresome throughout
the country. Unquestionably it has
accomplished good, but as has been
maintained in these columns, the
same results might have been
brought about with great deal less
sounding of brass and a great deal
less resultant decentralization. The
Hughes way, quiet but thorough and
determined, would have been far bet
ter. 1t would have landed offenders
in Jail, compelled probably more far
reaching reforms than have been Sc
cured or are in prospect and yet not
have made for the decentralization of
public confidence, the turmoil and
the upsetting of business organiza-
ton that has been experienced during
the present year. Deeds instead of
threats, action prompt and straight
from the shoulder, without shouting
from the roof tops and without ring
ing of the fire bell at the end of ev-
cry comma, is the Hughes way
Such procedure makes for confidence
instead of destroying that necessity
to prosperity and it is such course
that the country now stands in sore
need of. Were the nomination OF
Hughes assured today we do moi
doubt but that the country would
right itself with a whoop and that
we would steadily see normal condi
