A special from Washinirton says:
more Important issue than that over the
Venezuela boundary mav be raised be
tween the United States and Great
Britain if recent reports from Nicara
gua shall be confirmed by later develop
monts. The substance of these re'
ports, sustained by important evidence,
is that British interests are reaching
out lor the ooutrol of the Nicaragua
oanal, and that the government is be
ing urged to annul the charter to the
existing corporation.
The whole Cuban island outside of
the city of Havana is now in the hands
of the insurgents. They have not an
nihilated the Spanish foroes, nor have
they routed the whole army In any
single pitched battle; yet the situation
is praotioally in their bands, and so
completely have they outgeneraled the
Hpaniah that, to all appearances, Mar
tines Campos army might as well be
in Spain for any check it has upon the
movements of Gomez's army.
Secretary Carlisle has made publio a
circular on the subject of the new bond

THE FINANCIAL MESSAGE.
Kdltorlal VUws on th Praaldant'a AS.
vie and th Country' Needt.
IN. T. Commercial and Financial Chronicle.)
If Mr. Cleveland had made it his
study to bring out in strongest relief
the financial weakness of the United
States he could not have bit upon a
better device for doing It than his
earlier message to congress on the
Venezuela question. We have the men
needed and a few ships; but as to
money, we have not even credit That
is a humiliating admission but is it
not the exact truth?
Whater.r Iteed Want.
(Philadelphia Time..
The Republican majority in the
house have promptly realized the ne
cessity of doing something in response
to the president's appeal for financial
action. This will probably be a com
posite measure upon the lines suggested
by Mr. Reed, providing for low rate
bonds for the purchase of gold, for
oertifloates of indebtedness to meet de
ficiencies and for additional revenue
through ouBtoms duties, upon wool and
some other articles. Whatever the
oommittee may report and that will
doubtless be whatever the speaker
thinks it ought to report will be
promptly passed in the house and the
party record thus made clear.
A Reaaaurloc Me.aaje.
New Voik Timea.J
Mr. Cleveland has issued a message
that is distinotly reassuring, inasmuch
as it aims to take advantage of a united
national sentiment to make one for
ward move In the effort to put the
country's finances on a sounder basis.
It is a demonstration of the radical
unsoundness of our financial system
that the declaration, by the executive,
of a foreign polioy whioh the oongress,
representing in this case truly the
sentiment of the nation, promptly rati
fies should oause so sudden and con
siderable of a disturbance.
In a Nutshell.

It Might Have Been."
PitUburs Dispatch.)
If Secretary Carlisle had early in
the history of the presentation of the
legal tenders for redemption ordered
every legal tender bo redeemed to be
kept in the reserve, for re-issue in its
operation that is, when gold was of
fered in exchange for it $100,000,000
of the subsequent inoiease of debt
would have been unnecessary, and
there would not have been the slightest
question of the maintenance of the re
serve under such an administration.
The Duty of Congress.
Kansas City Star.
There is just one thing which oon
gress can do speedily in response to the
president's urgent request for measures
of relief of the treasury in its present
emergency. That is to authorize the
secretary of the treasury to obtain gold
from Amerioan citizens upon terms
which will leave no doubt as to the
purpose of the United States govern
ment to return gold in the future to
those who furnish it to the govern
ment now.
The Wicked Greenback.
Chicago Inter Ocean.
From the presidential standpoint the
greenback is a mean, wicked old thing,
that has done a'l the mischief and
made him give $11,000,000 in good
money to the goldbugs of London to
watch the treasury while he went
a-fishing and Carlisle was skylarking
arouna Kentucky.
He Thinks Anything; Goes.
INew York Recorder.)
It looks as though the president was
fairly carried away himself by the
demonstration of patriotism whioh his
Venezuela message inspired, and sud
denly jumped to the conclusion that
anything he might say at the present
time would be received with aoquies-
cenoe and support, if not with equal
enthusiasm. .
Cause of Gold Exports.
(Philadelphia Press.)
Gold exports oan be looked for this
week because they generally take place
when there ia a crash of credits in Eu
rope, The destruction of oredits on a
large scale creates a demand for gold
after all panics, and the past week has
wiped out credit values on a tremendous
scale in Europe. The result is that a
large amount of gold will go to Europe.
Cleveland Hysterical. '
New York Evening Post,
Mr. Cleveland's hysterical message
on the financial situation is a fitting
sequel to the third-term pranks he has
been playing. By his own aot, deliber
ately planned months ago, he has pre
cipitated the worst panio this genera
tion baa seen, and now he calls on oon
gress to pull him out
-Demoorat Helpless.
ISt. Lou's Globe-Democrat.1 ;
The Democrats in oongress are help
less so far as legislation is oonoerned,
but there ia still left to them the
blessed privilege of confessing the sins
of their party in speeches suitable for
circulation as Bepublioan campaign
documents next year.
Greenbacks Are Innocent.
Atlanta Con.titutiou.l
The greenbacks have no more to do
with the exports of gold than they have
to do with the ohanges of the moon.
To retire thorn will simply place the
responsibility of furnishing gold on in
dividuals who are not strong enough to
stand the strain.

br Turks bss aroused the European
Powers, and at the close of th year actlr
preparations were in progress which sug
gested the probable dismemberment of
the Ottoman empire. The revolt of
Cubans against Spanish rule was the
next most important affair, and that, too,
was In full sway at the close of the year.
Bpaln seems to fruitlessly bend every
energy toward its suppression. Popular
sympathy is largely with the Cubans, and
their success seem not Improbable. In
American politics the year has been ex

suffered such reverses as to leave the

PUFFING THE PLAY.
'A New York Buccee" Abuae of
Free fourtear. : ",'.,!'..
The United States Is a broad and busyi
country, and It Is well supplied with ex-;
cellent Journals, says tue Forum. As is
natural and unavoidable, these genera
ally take their tone In treating drov
matte affairs from those of the metropo-
Us. What Is said and done in Newj
York about plays and actors Is publish-
ed all over the union as quickly as that
wires and press can spread the news.!
Consequently the theatrical business op
the entire country Is managed from
New York. That Is why actors, man
agers and the minor personages ofi
stage life flock to New York. That Is1
why for many years past It has been,
possible for the wily speculator In rot4
ten dramatio lumber lo net up a fllmsyi
stage structure, held together only byt
the atlhesive qualities of paint and!
printers' Ink, and by keeping a Newt
York theater open and empty for Its
exhibition for a stated term of week
at the expense of $3,000 or $4,000 ai
week, and by a continual pestering oft
tbe good-natured journalist to obtain'
sufficient amount of notice of his
great New York success!" to enable)
him to travel throughout the country,
with his "show," and gather a rich har-1
vest from those who are eager to sea
what sort of plays please the people of,
the great city. ;
Of course the "show" soon falls to-
pieces from the weight of Its own
worthlessness, and the seeds of general
contempt for New York's good tastet
theatrical matters are sown broad
cast But no matter. The enterprise"
speculator, now well In funds, return
to New York and Is soon upon the full)
tide of another like venture. Year af-i
ter year this sort of thing goes on. Bub
the people of the East, South and West!
are becoming wise and wary. Thai
business" Is not so good now as it
once was lo tnoee orten-ueiuued sec
tions. Due of the roofs of our thegtri-l
cal troubles uiwn which the ax shouldi
fall quickly aud sharply Is this abuse)
of the press courtesy first extended ln
good nature toward the struggling ar
tist, but now demanded as a right by
the brass-band "show boomer." ; ;
Our hardest battles are those we fight
1th ourselves.
