correspondent hurrah for the democratic adminis tration : it has proven itself to be the master nut tile servant ot wall street and the government still lives and the treasury continues and will continue to pay out gold to all who may de-ire i for treasury notes a greater finan cial triumph was never achieved by any administration it marks thft begin ning of a new era in which the presi dent of the united states and the cab iuet will dictate our national financial policy instead of laving it done from wall street as it iras been dene already too long for the good of the country the wall street crowd invited the knock-down blow the received see ing that b inkers all over the country were following the lead of those of the south and west in furnishing the treasury with gold the wall gtreeters got together and formulated a proposi tion in which they agreed to furnish thfe treasury with from 30,000,000 to 850,000,000 in gold but the proposi tion had a string tied to it in the shape of a proviso that bonds should be issued for their gold other bankers turn ed their gold into the treasury with out question because of their confi dence in the government which they thought in need of the gold to tide over a temporary difficulty but the wall street shylocks wanted their pound of flesh in the shape of interest on the bonds to be issued before they would turn loose the gold lying idle in their vaults it did not tike presi dent cleveland and the cabinet three minutes to formulate an indignant re fusal which v;w wired to new york later another proposition less exact ing was received but it also was promptly njected it must by this time be evident to even the most obtuse observer that the financial motto of this administration is no wall street domination 1 the present condition of the treas ury is under ilie circumstance sati.v | factory and if the offers of gold con | timie to be as freely made as they have j been for the pa tt week it is believed 1 that there will be no uece^ity for the ; i-sue of bond and even if the demand for gold shall continue to increase the reserve fund at pr#«>ent intact will br drawn upo:i to meet it until it becomes certain that it will be exhau>ted be fore bonds will be i«>iu-<l president cleveland and secretary carlisle are b th fully determined tit at no bonds shall be issued until it shall have been fully demonstrated that nothing else will furnish the relief needed and many believe that if that shall be suown the matter will be submitted to congress at an extra seaai.m before bonds are issued secretary hoke smith

mates based upon a report of the new york board of health to the effect that in new york state there had been 21 000 deaths from the grip while in the country at large there have been over 300,000 assuming says that jour nal that the average mortality from the grip throughout the earth was no higher than it is estimated to have been in the united states let us attempt to approximate the number of deaths in the human family from that disease f 300,000 persons out of 1*3.000,000 died how many of the earth's 1,500 000,000 were carried off these are round numbers but they are accurate enough for the purpose of a rough es timate it is an easy problem by the old rule of three and the answer comes out in the shape of these appalling fig ures if all the world suffered from the grip as the united states suffered ac cording to the best estimate more than 7,000.000 persons died of that unpre cedented plague but in order to be surely within bounds let us make an allonance of 50 per cent
