There' In a wealth of instructive satire Jn a letter from "Wall Street" which ap pears In the Philadelphia Times. It is a protest of the ' business Interests" of the country aftalnst the effort of rongrena to help the people of Cuba. "XVv are known to the world," the writ er observes, "as a hard-working, com mercial people, with a better knowl edge of maklns money tlfnn waging war; our time and attention being given to increasing commerce and our Individual bank accounts. AVhy should we do that which would interfere with our business prospects, and do much to undo the reputation we have gained as miaiey-mnkers?' The simple rumor of war' causes a decline in stocks, bringing a loss to all those who were conscientiously speculating In margins , on Wall street, and If only a rumor of difflculty caused this, what would be the loss to that great Industry If hos tilities actually occurred? Is it to be come the rule of our legislators to In terfere with every gross act of . Inhu manity and terrible atrocity that takes place at our front doors? A thousand ' times no. If our stock speculations and other legitimate business of a like class are to receive such a rude blow." Continuing, the writer says: 1rft the Spaniards act In the most out riiKeous milliner thoy leslre In I'nhii. tturely thn C'ubuna ure their own chll ilren and we should nut meddle with their family affairs. They have had tho repu tation for some hundreds of years of lie inff Inhuman In the 'treatment of their colonies und no act of this country can hHHKM them. Why, then, should we dis turb ourselves? What henetlt can It be to this country to attempt to wash the dirty linen of Kpain that has been allowed to accumulate In Cuba for two or throe centuries? If the Spanish novernment thinks It to their advantage to put down the rebellion by shooting political prison ers, braining defenseless women and other tion-combatunts, exiling suspects to dead ly African colonies and other Inhuman and atrocious nets, pray let them do, It. It Is none of our uffalr. and we are not unswerable for .Spain's sins. These ideas would probably not have agreed with the patriotic and humane feelings that were once paramount in this country, but, pray, why place patriotism und humanity ahead Of our bank accounts? We do not Increase our revenues by catering to either of the so-called virtues. I.et the Oduii patriots reach out their supplicating arms ami cry for succor and help from the Inhuman cruelties being Indicted upon them, but for the sake of buriness let them "leave us In peace," for "tills Is our busy day." This doesn't sound pulte as attrac tive as ilo some of the inure carefully drawn eilltorluls In the New York Kve niug Tost, the Philadelphia Itccord and other so-culled nnti-jingo journals which tremble dally lest the stock mar ket should lose a point through pa triotic work at Washington, but that Is because it is more honest. It says what the cuckoos only think. It Is generally agreed that Tom Reed la conducting his speakership entirely Independent of his presidential boom. This will not hurt him with the people. The people like manly men, not dough faces or trimmers. Another Railroad Wrecked. It waa not io very long ago, no long er than the hey day of John W. Oar- . rett'a administration, when the owner of stock in the Baltimore and Ohio rail road would not have traded his secur ity for a government bond. Now, the road, which then had a cash surplus fund of $44,000,000, cannot borrow $400, 000 with which to meet current Interest charges, and has gone into a receiver ship, with some talk of making an as sessment equal to 40 or GO cents on the dollar of stock. . This deterioration is the work of less than act) re of year, arid, lias come not through any Inevitable loss of busi ness by reason of Increased competition for the Baltimore and Ohio is stljl the great artery of commerce between Chicago and Baltimore that It was In Its founder's time but through care less If not criminal mismanagement. The road haa become the plaything of , Imbeciles) and . the sport of amateurs. . When the younger Garrett took hold, he algnallted his elevation by scatter ing money rlgfffand left; and It was not long until - the "complications be came such that a new system of book keeping had to be Introduced to con ." ' ceal them. . The sequel", to far aa Rob ert Garrett waa concerned, waa mad ' mm; . ao far aa the treat property, whose management he had Inherited was concerned, the sequel Is collapse. The sliuine of this, as of similar in stances of fallroud looting, is that the heaviest tjwiden will fall uiHin shoulders least lifted to bear it; that is to sny, upon tho nhoulders of the small stock holdersof widows whose savings are invested In Baltimore and Ohio stock, and of orphuns whose inheritances consist of the same kind of securities. These helpless persons, without the means to co-operate in costly schemes for the road's reorganization, have simply been robbed robbed Just as meanly, basely and criminally as if the high-flying looters in the company's headquarters had taken pistols and held them up to the highwayman's tune of "stand and dellver.If the law can visit Justice upon thewreckers.lt ahould do so; If hot, the public ahould be in formed aa to the reason why. ' ' There la sold to be a likelihood that Olney will resign because of the presl ilent's .Bnub over the Cuban matter. Olney would take with him from pub lic life the brains of the present cab inet. Why Our Oold (Joes Out. . The ChU-ago Record calls timely at tention to a source of gold outgo which Is generally overlooked, namely, the sums paid for the transportation of our exports and imports. In 1895 our ex ports carried by foreign vessels amount ed to 087.ri.1f.,ii22 and our Imports, simi larly carried, to $590,510,308, a total of $l,278.04G,lo0. for the transportation of which we paid the foreign ship-owners in gold. "There Is," says the Record, "some slight differences In the estimated amount . of these freight charges, the estimates) being from 11 to per cent, of the value of the goods. On bulky raw materials, like wheat and lumber, the freight charges would be consider ably In excess of that estimate, while on finished and compact manufactured ar ticles, like watches and cloths, they would be considerably less. An esti mate of 10 per cent, gives $127,804,61:1 as the sum paid in a single year to foreign ship-owners for the transportation of our Imports and exports. This leaves entirely out of consideration the amount paid for land transportation to foreign railroad companies, which was con siderable. "The year 1S9. was not an exceptional one. That year 8S.8 per cent, of all our imports and exports were carried In foreign bottoms, and in 1S'J4 the percent age wan 80.6, which was the smallest since 1886. If It should be contended that the consumer pays the freight and that in reality the American pays only the freight on what he Imports we should even In that case pay the foreign vessel-owner an annual charge of $59, 051,030 for Import-vessel freight alone. Klther of these sums is sufficiently large to speedily consume an entire bond Issue of $50,000,000 or $100,000,000. The remedy for this unfavorable condition of our commerce is the building up of our merchant marine. We now have 430 steam vessels on the high seas, as against 0.7.15 belonging to Great Britain and 810 belonging to Germany. We ought to become able to do our own carrying; trade." This covers the entire ground, leav ing nothing to be added. We shall not realize our aspirations for an expanded foreign trade until we shall have a suf llcicnt lleet of American merchantmen on the high seas to carry every pound of American made goods to its foreign destination, and do some extra trading beside. Aid now the story goes that David Martin also will run for the state sen ate. It is well to have the principals themselveti In the field. Probably Quay would run. too, If he were not already lu a larger senate. A Negligent Habit. Notwithstanding the dulcet notes of thone who dream that war Is a van ished nightmure of the past, there are some old-fashioned folk who continue to believe that it would be good econ omy if congress ohould provide liberal ly for coast defences, and do so in due season. The Baltimore American Is one of the Journals which coincides with this latter view. It recognizes that neither modern arms nor ammu nition niiltuble to a proper defence of the Jeaporded coast cltle of our coun try can be Improvlshed In the face of danger, but instead require long pe riods of time for their manufacture. They oiso cost a great deal of money; but they tire lnlisjHnsulde If danger does threaten. When we need them, we need them greatly; and the Item of cost is then regarded with disdain. The America ii nays: "Congress after congress has neg lected this very plain duty, under tlu Impression, probably, that wur with n, foreign country was on Impossibility. Recent events have shown the country that war Is not only a possibility, but that It may come when least expected, and when, unless precautions have been taken, years may elapse before an effective defense can be made. Under ftuch circum stances to pursue a niggardly policy is the height of unwisdom, and makes congress criminally culpable. To talk of economy is very like the farmer who declines to patch the leaking roof of a granary that is filled with wheat. It will require millions to provide suf ficient armament for coast defense, but unless the money is appropriated bil lions may be required to make good the damage caused by neglect. Congress could scarcely make a more popular use of the public funds, and certainly not a more judicious use than to pro vide for the safety of the nation. "The choice of peace or war is not al ways at the disposal of the govern ment. Wara arise from the actions of foreign countries sometimes, and are unavoidable. ' Steam and electricity have brought the nations of the earth much closer together than they ever were In the past, while there is not the evidence of an Increased desire for peace which some people seem to Im agine. The armaments of the civilized world are on a more colossal scale than ever before, and wara are quite as fre quent a they ever were. There Is such a thing, therefore, as being dragged Into a war in spite of the utmost ef forts to keep out of It. Bhouldsuch a thine occur, It, would be a pitiful de fense' to aay. that no efforts had been mado to defend the coast, because 11 was more :ulltlc to expend the public moneys inoiher wnjs and n;uke r. bogus record of economy." It Is possible that the present con gress will ri'inuln ilenf to all entreaties along this line; but when the pimple choose Its successor they should do so Intelligently. "lie has got everything for It but a good backbone," Is Renator Cullom's terse characterization of Alllson'n fit ness for the presidency. But a back bone Is essential. Presumably Mr. Culiom knows where one can be found. Our Sybaritic Senate. Senator Chandler is an economist who believes that economy, like charity, should begin at home. Tho extrava gance of the senate is a theme to which lie has been giving caustic attention, and some of his conclusions are cal culated to make him unpopular with his senatorial confreres. Not counting the senators themselves, he finds that the total number of sen ate employes Is J53, at a cost per un num of $4S2,000. In 1S87, the cost of the senate force wa3 only $:!17,:!1, while the necessary work was Just ns abundant then as now. Taking mileage und In cidentals also Into account, the net In crease In senate expenses in the past nine years, has been S200.9GS. Mr. Chandler cannot see wherein the legiti mate business of the senate hus ex panded sufficiently to warrant this vast acceleration In expenditures, and la therefore resolved upon an official lu quiry. it Is Impossible," says he. In a letter to the two chairmen of senate commit tees having the subject In charge, "that the public service requires such outlays. The senate wing of the capltol is kept In repair by the architect and guarded by the capitol police. For the comfort within the senate wing of ninety sena tors, and to enable them to perform their functions, it cannot be possible that 3:18 officers and employes, at an annual salary of $460,000, ure necessary, and In addition other expenses amount ing to $165,000. There Is fault In some one; I do not know whom; there Is ex travagance somewhere; I do not pre tend to know exactly in what place. But In this crisis of diminishing rev enues and hard times for the poor the senate should set an ewample of re trenchment; and I hope you will cheer fully and efficiently labor under the au thority of the senate for the promotion of much-needed economy and reform." In this hope the country cordially Joins the senator from New Hampshire. That was a good point which 8enator Culiom made when, speaking of the re cent subsidence of the Populist move ment which three or four years ago swept many Western Republicans from their feet, he said: "A party man re quires to be firmest in the cyclone and nut afraid of the squall." Several poli ticians of note would be better off than they are, if they had never stepped aside from this principle. WHY EXCLAXD WON'T FIGHT. From the Chicago Record.

Of the total imports of Great Britain over 30 per cent, is furnished by the western hemi sphere and of her total exports over l!4 per cent. Is sold there.

It Is known to all students of history that the foreign policy or ilreat Britain has always been commer cial; that the anxiety of the British mer chant and manufacturer to get 0 per cent, on their money has been the motive for the extension of the colonial system of that little island, and that tin; conquest of India and Africa has been not so much for the evangelization of the heathen or the Kratllication of ambition as to find purchasers for the prints of Mam hosier ami the hardware of Birmingham. Any thing that would Interfere with this policy would not only be exceedingly unpopular with the entire British people, but no min istry would be sustained that would light to lose instead of gain markets. ,MK.

One of the most remarkable omissions In connection with the administration of tho United Slates government for more than a century. Is the failure lo establish a per manent census bureau. Any person of intelligence can perceive the difficulty of attaining correct results by a census bureau organized temporarily as the time approaches for the enumera tion of Inhabitants required by the consti tution every tenth year. The Vniled States census reports In tho past have been notoriously unreliable, and steps should be taken to Improve them in this respect. To do this a permanent census office should be established, and the proper legislation forthcoming at the present ses sion of congress, so that the census of 19oo may be prompt, accurate and satis factory In every respect. AS INTERESTING BATTLE. From the Fllmira Advertiser. With each passing week the prospect for a lively time at the St. Louis convention grows brighter and brighter. Already there are In the field for (he Republican presidential nomination not only the big four Morton, McKlnley, Allison and Reed to which might now be added a big fifth Quay but in addition there are thirteen minor candidates mentioned, representing ten different states. It is evident that a great game of chess Is to be played In St. Louis. None of these minor candidates has any Idea that the lightning will strike his llghtnlng-rod, but he doe have an idea that the leading candidate ard successful candidate will have l make connections Willi his llght-lilng-rod before his presidential kite call The situation now looks as thinish the convention, w hilc It will have ll dele-tiali-s, uill not i;.i as Individuals.
