' They would like to know how long the pre vailing apathy Is to continue. When will demand and the) mcnement of commodities and goods assume normal volume and activity? They believed that the repeal of the silver-purchase clause would be the cure of depression. When it was seen that the senate would procrastinate the issue, und that the antl-repealists would filibuster in definitely, the business public became in a measure discouraged, and pre- pared their minds and tljelr affairs for prolongued depression. There is still hope that the senate will come to a vote and that the repeal act will un- cond.tiona.Iy pass. If not. what then? Evidently a continued caution on the part of the banks and a restricted amount of business, with no new in terprise to speak of. But docs that necessarily Imply that stagnation will prevail without any mitigation for years to come? Such need not be the conclusion. Unless the policy of con tress on the money question shall soon bo clearly defined there will undoubt edly b contlrued caution on the part of the banks and tho holders of prl vote capital, rrogress toward a nor. mal condition of business hence will bt slow, but soino progress will be made. This will grow out of the no cossltlofl of tho people. The pnnlo and subsequent depression came at a time when the country hud long been prosperous. This created vast wealth in material things and cultivated tastes and desires for con- venleneo and gratification that have become second nature with the major ity of our people. Will they allow the meons for seourlng this advanced moth oil of Ufa to be suddenly cut oft? Will tho people Ha down beaten and sub missive, and permit the waves of ad vernliy to overwhelm them In a com mon rulnT Not so, If we rightly estl tnatt the temper of Americans. They will contlnua to want and seek gratl- fieatlon. That will Insure a market for all tho various goods and appliances that go to make up modern civilized life. First will come tha necessities, houses, furnishings, good and cloth- lng. Tho luxuries will also have to be provided for. Tha providing of these will maka trade, and trada will stim ulate production. Whenever, after a panto, tho money market booomen confldont and easy. tha process of restoration begins. For some time it may not be observable. Ilut a steady consumption la working out tha result. For some time the sur plus left over when pnnlo came and production was shortened suffices to meot the somewhat diminished de mand. After a few months have elapsed tho surplus has disappeared. Then cornea revival. A TALE OF HORROR. The storm that swept In from the Oulf of Mexico over the fair and fer tile and thickly populated coast lands J Louioisxa, U shewn by iha later accounts to havo baen mor terribly destructive than at first re ported. The havoc wrought by wind and wave Is unprecedented, The low lylngr lands near the coast and the It lands suffered most. They He from three to seven feet only above the level of the sea, and with fifteen feet of water piled upon them escape was lm possible to the Inhabitants, save only for the youngest and strongest. In the region thus visited, over one-half tna population Is reported destroyed, homea wiped out, villages obliterated, and millions of dollars in property gone. In one village of over three nun- dred hoU8egi onIy three are iett stand Ing. The force of the storm Is shown by the fact that the heavy guns of historic Fort St Philip are dismount ed, and Fort Livingstone, at Baratnrla, one of the heaviest works of the south, Is destroyed. Hundreds are shelterless "Ithut "X"3' deSp,te the Urg6nt efforts of relief, and much suffering will ensue among the survivors. The hearts and hands of the whole nation will go out to these afflicted brethren, and as far as possible, their distress will be mitigated. It Is a strange fact that, while tne ...... ... W.. r,f m,lnn, ,n iubb vl mo uj . cw.-.. w .i n.i or nraa olmnar nrlrplv among the blacks, the latest storm has slvely, THE AMERICA'S CUP. The Valkyrie has been beaten. The America cup still remains with us. And the plucky little Vigilant Is queen of the yachting waves. The superiority of the cup defender has been made manifest in every trick of the wind and the water, and never at any point has she failed to show her heels to her British adversary. This has been no accident of winds, nor has It been dependant on better seamanship. One craft was probably as well handled as the other in fact from all reports the Valkyrie was the bettor handled of the two. It is a matter of mastery in con struction. The model of the New York yacht Is better adapted for speed, urt- der all circumstances, than that of the Valkyrie. Some congratulation Is In- auiged in that the Valkyrie, has crosB- ed the atlantic and is seaworthy. Does anyone doubt after yesterday's per formance In a wind blowing thirty miles an hour that the Vigilant is not stiff enough in the water for ocean cruising? A race across the AtlanUc would show that. But the Valkyrie has been a plucky opponent. Her owner is a thorough sportsman, and al man who will feel hl8 defeat keenly. The splend.d show- ng made by the visitor in her gallant fight yesterday should, however, go a good way to taking the keen edge off the disappointment. It was a mag- . .. . nlflcent race, and a close finish, and tne dcbi Doat. won. And now American skill stands ready agn.n to defend the cup against all comers, Next! Ferdinand de Lcsseps Is said to be dying In his country house. He has long been In extreme debility, and al most a wreck mentally. It was there- fora easy to invent the fictions with which he has been kept from plunging into unpleasant discoveries about the consequences of tha Panama Canal scandals and bankruptcy. He has pass ed the last years of his life in an ut- mosphere of hallucination, even about his own sentence. It Is a snd finish to an energetic and most sanguine life, partially crowned with success, but al- so embittered with a failure as abys- mal as his triumph was soaring. Had De Lesseps only Btopped with the Suez canal what a name In achievement would have bean his. He carried that work out In spite of predictions of fail ure and with Kngtand and other coun tries leagued against him. Yet he suc ceeded, and the canal has revolution- Hyed tha merchant-service shipping of the globe. He would not have com pleted that work without Ismail Pasha, nnd It was because he had no Ismail end fellah labor that he failed Ignomlu lously In Panama. The Telegram once more: "The far cical proceedings In the senate are not calculated to Inspire respect for Amer ican Institutions. It Is all 4he work of gold robbers, who have Invaded the temple of our liberty. At the next election the people will take the whlpj In hand and drive ihe money changers I from the sacred temple." Comment Is needless. It was a mis take after all to locate that branch Insana asylum away from Portland. The Telegram saya "Clod and one 'makes' 0) a majority that will yet overthrow tho senate snooxers." This remark Is rather obscure. Which of the sliver heroes Is God, In Moffett's opinion? Or maybe It is a delicate allusion to Uorlett himself. Thero la no telling. SPECIMEN CASES. S. H.
