No matter what any man may think
about our currency, whether its basis be
of one of the precious metals or both,
noue can deny that the result of the
presidential election has given gratifica- j
tion to and increased the sense of secur
ity of every trust in the country. Nei
ther is it to be denied that the pluto
cracy and aristocracy of every European
monarchy hails that result with joy.
Can it be held by the thoughtful that a
victory which strengthens the trusts and
cheers the privileged classes around the
glade is is the one that should please the
pride and enccuraje hope of the pat
riotic American, whatever his party may
be?
The action of England in agreeing to
arbitrate her dispute with'Venezuela has
leen recognized by other European
Towers as a practical assent to the
American interpretation of the Monroe
doctrine French and German newt
papers are at much pains to show that
England assertsjMt. The experiment
made by France in Mexico and its la
mentable failures do not appear to have
made a proper impression in that coun
try and in Germany. But it would
seem to be very unwise diplomacy to
force all the American Republics into a
position of greater friendship toward
Great Britain. If ever the occasion
shall arise to vindicate the ability of the
people living on this contineat to take
care of their own affairs they will give
a good account of themselves. It is
quite possible that the occasion may le
precipitaied by tl e course of events in

English experts in the erain trade
calculate that Eurce will require from
the Lotted Mutes a monthly average
suddIv of 17.000.000 bushels of wheal
until next July. For the seven months
yet remaining this would imply a furth
er exportation of 119,000,000 bushels.
which is manifestly a great deal more
than the country will have to spare, un
less all calculations of the vield and re
serves have been greUly at fault. Ex
ports for thetive months of the crop
year already expired have been close to
75,000,000 bushels, and the most liber
al estimates of the remaining supply do
not exceed that quantity. Most of the
estima es fall much below 75,000,000
b ashels.
The yield of wheat has reen variously
computed at 400,000,000 to 450,000,000
bushels. Assuming the accuracy of the
larger estimate, and that there was a:
much wheat remaining in uncounted
places on July 1 as at visible supply cen
tres, the approximate yield and reserves
made a possible maximum available sup
ply of 545,000,000 bushels. Deduct
from that abont 375,000,000 bushels for
food and seed and 25,000,000 bushels
for a minimum reserve to be carried in
to the next crop year, and 145,000,000
bushels would be the maximum export
surplus of the United StatfS for the crop
year 1896-7. Many believe that this
estimate is 20,000,000 to 30,000,000
bushels too high. But taking the most
hopeful view that is admissible, it would
appear that the United States have al
ready sent abroad in the form of wheat
and flour more than half the surplus
that has been available for the crop year.
In view of all the facts recognized by
statisticians the world over, there,
can be no room for doubt that Europe's
requirements will this season more near
ly exhaust the n serve stocks of Ameri
can wheat than any recent year.
Washington. November 2Slh, 1S9C.
There is at least one Republican Senator
who thiuks that the McKinley administration-will
have to borrow money very
eariy in its career, nothwithstanding th
assertions of the party Stump speakeis
and editors during the campaign that h
would never, under any circumstances,
do auy such thing. Senator Chandler
not only thinks that ttie McKinley ad
ministration will have lo Uuro money,
but he has prepared a plan for it to do so,
and ii is supposed that l.e will put it in
the form of a bill, which he will into -His
plan is in short
to authorize the secretary of the treas
ury to tKirrow as much money as may ie
needed to make up the diif rente r.e
nveen the government receipts and ex
penditures so long as there is a deficit,
the loams to be made payable in a short
period. Mr. Cimndler seems to agree with
the statements made on the stump by
silver men, that the election, of McKin
ley would meau among other things a
further increase in the naiioual debt by
the government borrowing more money,
but other Republicans will favor ex
hausting all other methods of trying to
pull through before resorting te another
loan in auv shape.
Even if there was a Kepublican ma
jority in the senate, they could not ac
complish any tariff legislation at this
sesiion of congress, unless some way
could le devised of reconciling the wide
difference of ooiniou among them as to
what ought to be done. Ihere is reve
nue legislation, and the project ot auu
ing $1, a barrel to the tax on beer,
which came so near being incorporated
iu the Wilson tariff bill by the Demo
cratic ways and meaus committee of the
last house, has been revived and may be
recommeuded iu President Cleveland's
annual message. Tne iutlueuce of the
brewers killed it when it was proposed
tiefore, aud now in addition to tuat it
will have to contend with the ippositiou
of the high tariff Republicans who want
to leave tue whole revenue question just
where it is in order ti have an excuse
for an extra session of congress.

high and there is no personal objection
to him, but if the idea advocated by a
considerable number of silver men, of
hanging up all of Mr. Clevelaud'6 uom-
iuations in the senate, be cained out,
his nomination will fail with all the rest.
Whatever may be one's individual
opinions, it is ciearly apparent that the
action of prominent gold uemocraie. in
trying to get the administration to re
move Democratic ollicials in a number
of states liecause they supported Bryan
is uot calculated to wipe out the existing
bitterness between the regular Democrats
and the bolters. In the postotlice tie
partment alone attacks are being made
hv the toIters upon more than hlty
presidential postmasters. It is not likt
lv that auv considerable nutnler of
these, or any other ollicials the uomina
tiou of whose successors has to le coo
firmed by the senate, will be removed
because whatever may be the result of
the proposition to take no action upon
anv nominations, it is certain that the
senate as at present constituted wili not
confirm the nomination of any gold
Democrat for a position from which

New York, November 30 In the
Decern ir numlr of the '-North An e i
can Renew" William J Bryan presents
an article in which he discusses the re
sult of the election as affecting thep'a'
usof thesilv r question. The issue o
which the election turns be desc.ibts a
the greatest issue ever submitted t th
American people in" time of peace
The result Mr. Bryan declares to be tem
porary defeat but permanent gain for
the cause of bimetallism.
Mr Bryan regards it as a significant
fact that the silver sentiment was
Strongest where the question had beer
longes-t considered; that is to say, in ti e
west and south. The gold sentiment
prevailed in the eastern states, but even
there, in Mr. Bryan's opinion, th
cause of bimetallism made more rapid
progress than any cause ever made ir
such a short time. Mr. Bryan express
ed his as.-urauces that te electjon can In-
by no means regarded as a conciuslvt
settlement of the questions at issue
Mr. Bryan counsels the Republican par
ty to remember that thousands of Re
publicans have been held to their part;
this year by the pledge that they will trj
to secure iutern itiouwl bimetallism. Ii

Mr. Bryan a.-suied that they cannot d'

Sun, and other newspapers in various
states, appear to find a deal of satisfac
tion in the fact that the twenty-two
Bryan states have a larger average c f i'
literacy than the twenty-three McKinley
states.
We do not think it unfair to assume
that the newspapers which institute this
comparison know that the greater mass
of the illiterates in the Bryan states did
not vote for Bryan. The Evening Sun
and the Hail and Erjrrtss . cannot be un
aware of the fact that most of the illiter
ates in those states are Republicans. So
far as they voted at all they cast their
ballots for McKinley and sound money.
It is not their fault that they cannot
read and write. They are the freed men
or the sons of freed men. Id Maryland,
Kentucky, and West Virginia the votes
ot the black illiterates assured those
states for McKinley. In sUes
further south the colored men cast the
bulk of the Republican vote. It seems
6lrange, in view of these facts, that in
telligent newspapers will try to convince
the ill-informed and credulous that il
literacy is & characteristic of the Bryan
vote. For oar part, we are glad to re
cord to lh credit of both the colored il
literates and the foreign element that
they voted against free coinage.

true in boots, shoes and in a few-

on the whole is enlarging and the em
ployment of many more hands will ex

of the window gless controversy, start

The Republicans of Washington are
in a state of mind because a gold Dem

they have made a vigorous protest
against his being given the place, both
to Mark Hanna and to McKinley, and
the lfcal Republicans are right, too; but
inasmuch as the gold Democrat who has
been promised the place was a big con

fund their protest will probably count
for nothing. It is customary to have
all parties represented on the inaugura

Bombay, Nov. 29. A dispatch from
Baroda, capital of thet-tateof that name,
gives the details of a fatal accident which
occurred there to-night. The earl of El
gin, viceroy of India, arrived at Baroda
this evening on a visit to the gaikwar. or
native ruler of the 6tate. The inhabi
tants turned out en masse to welcome
the viceroy and to see a display of fire
works in his honor. The display-
was given in the park of the gaikwar,
which was open to the public.
Everything passed without incident of
note until the end of the ceremonies
Then the cro-vd made a rush for the park
gates, which were so narrow that they
soon became jammed with people.
Those behind, not knowing the cause at
the exit, pressed forward until the crush
at the gates was terrific. A number of
persons were squeezed to death, while
others, who lost their footing in the
surging mass of humanity, had the life
trampled out of them or died from suf
focation. When the crowd was finally
cleared away it was tound that twenty-
nine persons had been killed and thirty-
nve more or less injured.
Governor-elect Taylor, of Tennes
