Georgia responded most liberally to the call of the guttering people of Me- bra ska for aid to relieving them from the wilterlnga brought on by the twin disasters of drought and blizzard. '1 Be famine-stricken district lu Nebraska comprises nme thirty counties In the extreme western section of the state. This locality iwus recently visited by Stephen Crane, one of the most graphic writers of the American press. His article, ntilih has been sent to sev eral of the leading papers u» «>“"• try, tells a touching tale of the suffer ing* of thftte peopln rturlnc the i>ast year, Last July a wind from the South f. i in. Its breath was hot and w.tbcr- i liia like tlie Storm ot the desert. The j fields of corn grow yellow and the J trjps oa.vt their leaves a* on the com ing of frost. All vegetation struggled Tor existence and died. Crops gone, the farmers were left without food or lit. Tho weak ones grew weaker ■and cried aloud In tholr distress for help from moro fortunate people, anil one by ono the stronger ones who had been minded to light out the ha it Id on linen of self-dependence fell stricken by the psiSS of unappcusfid hunger. Then came a winter the severity of which had never been equalled. Farm ers without sulltclent clothing wad'd through banks of snow to their waists to deal out the meagre store of prov ender to animals grown weak and thin on starvation rations. Then came re lief—and relief Is not always wisely given. There were delay* on the part of railroads that mado sick it ho hearts of the starving men and their helpless families. The relief ito aotne extent • tvas shared by those wolves of hn, nianlty who prey on tho sutrertng of others. Supplies were sent to locali ties where there was no suffering to b$ divided out among these carrion crows of civilization. Tho work of I* P. Ltlddeo was what saved the suf fering people. Today the most abused man In Nebraska, he has sacritlced moro for the sake of thoso sufferers than any doien otbnr men In the ststo. Ilo has cut off the undeserving and distributed tho relief supplies whoro they were needed, lie has worked day and night and tho better condi tion of tho sufferers Is due to hi* en ergy. Mr. Ludden la chairman of the special relief caumtsslon. Mr. Ontne wrote hi* letter from Ed- dyvllle, s typical fat-mug town, when tho thermometer outside was eighteen below Km and In his bedroom one and a halt below. It I* Interesting matter for every reader and will be published complete with Illustration* in Sunday'* Teltgrnpti. WHOSE BAD BARGAIN T The Telegraph ha* heretofore ex pressed the opinion that the treasury department, in selling 4 per cent, thir ty-year bonds *t 1M 1-2, mado a very bad birgaln. TWo fact was ap, irent enough to everybody ns soon as the term* of tho sale went made known, and it any doubt had existed. !t would have been removed by the course of events since then. Men tumbled over each other In London and New "York to tray these same brads at 112 I’J.jni’ the market price for them. In jtTprob- ability. wHI is a few weeks bo about 130. But while this la true, the male tug of s trad bargain does not prove that tho tnusury department was un wise in selling the bond* at tho price It did. at tho time when the bargiln waa made. The statement made in the senate by Senator Gray throws a great deal of light on the situation In which the tneaanry tfcmd Itself. Gold was being drawn from the treasury at the rata of about ten mIHiors a week. The stoefc of It In the Leisure hail been reduced to thirty live mllUat s, tne part ot tnat stock in Now i rag and Immediately available was only nine millions, and on January 20 As sistant Treasurer Jordan telephoned to the treasury that he thought ‘be could bold out until Katurtoy night.” All this mean* that the tnusury was In t dcaporate condition; that the clement of time was even more Im portent than the matter of price In solving the problem with which It found ttsolf confronted. The Now York Evening Post is re doubt entirely right when It says that under these circumsatnoes ‘‘there was time for prolonged negotiation*. If bid* bad been invited for a further t+ *ne of 6 per cent, bonds, the first dan ger would have been that the end of tbu treasury gold would be In sight be fore any bids would come In. Ike last, In fact, was almost a certainty. The first Issue of fifty tnllllou dollar* of 5 per cents. it la well known, waa barely saved from failure. On the second is sue of 'the same amount, the purchas ing syndicate were out of pocket. Con gress wtau standing like a lot of boys playing with dynamite. No help iwaa to be had from them. If ever there waa an emergency In publio finance, If over extreme measures and great sacrificed were justifiable ito save the public oredtt, the last 'week In January was the time.” It |g charged against the president that by selling the bonds at 104 1-2 he caused a loss ito the taxpayers of the country of four million dollars. On the other hand, It may be said that congress, by Its refusal to accept the alternative bkl which the president se cured from the? syndicate that took the bonds caused the taxpayers lose sixteen million dollars. If the president made a bad bargain, cer tainly congress made a very much worse one. Congress refused to allow the treasury to borrow at 3 per cent, and compelled it to borrow at 3 3-4 because a majority ot Its members pre ferred Hist tb« government Should fall to meet Its obligations In the sense of the contract made with Its creditors. Tho president preferred to sacrifice four million doHaru, after congress had refused to sure sixteen m.Uion dollars rather than allow the government to fall In carrying out its contract. This is s brief statement of the true situa tion. It la to be regretted that a better price atlas not obtained for the bonds. The responsibility rests upon congress. The determination of the president to uphold the oredtt of the country, to maintain the currency system on the !d basis until ;ho people decree a change to the stiver basis, will be ap proved by the mas* of the people, uo matter how bitterly he may be de nounced by men who are ingry tie- cause, In doing his duty, he frustrated an attempt to revolut.onlze our finan cial system without having been In structed by the people or by congress to permit such a revolution. repeated that the TmirevseA stons was in fact, as believed by the Atlanta peo ple, Inferior to the Alabama stone. Would the Constitution then ludst that the contract be awarded to the Tennessee people because their bid was $18,000 lower, or would It side with tha people of Its city and insist that the building be constrained of the best material available, even though that material did cost $18,000 more. We do not think there can bo any ques tion as to what coume the Constitu tion would pursue under these circum stances. It would demand that the wishes of the Atlanta people- be ro- apoated and the beat material used. Are not these ithe circumstances which exist In Kansas Cfty? And If so, why should Secretory Carlisle be accused by a Damocrat.c piper of corruption In offlee? WISER THAN CONGRESS. OONTBlAiDIOTS ITSELF. In Its Issue of yesterday the Atlanta Constitution says, editorially: "If Georgia really had any influence In that cabinet It does seem that B build- in* material, approved and accepted by the government experts, proffered with a bid largely under any other that was presented, would have been successful, "The rejection of the Stone snountuin granite bid for the Kansas City public building can be explained upon only one hypothesis—that there were political debts to be paid, and the granite trust has a pull. The administration waa too free with Its patronage during the special sviiwH of wiercw, in lurviug through, the farcical repeal of the Sherman pur chasing clause. There wae not a suffi cient reserve fund maintained for the contests of tho future, and when consul ships give out It la the moat natrai thing In th* world to turn to contracts. •The Venable granite had the full ap proval of tho government experts, and the rejection could not have been on that ground. Th* Vanabtn bhl was the lowest In the hands of the* government, and Its acceptance would have saved thousands of dollars to th* pockets of the people." Here Is s charge that the contract waa awatded to the Tcxaa people as the result ot s corrupt political trade, and that the Veuable grau.te had the full approval ot the government expert*. In tbe Washington dlaputch from Its special correspondent, printed In the same Imue, the following appear*: ‘ Secretary Carlisle waa out ot the city today, but ona of the offleiala In the treasury department nearest to him mado thla statement to mo: .Tto* secretary could not sward the contract other than he did. While the Oeorgta atone waa of fered at a lee* sum than waa th* Tessa sranlte, th* Kansas City board of trade, Congressman Taraney, who rep that district, and Senator Vest protested bitterly against th* use of Oeorgta gran- lta in th* building. They held that It had not boon used In public building* in Oeor gta, and they did not wont any aton* ex perimented with In their building. Secre tary CarllAs sent Profeaaor Merrill down to Georgia to sxamln* this atone. He reported that he would be perfectly wilt- Ing to reoommend it tor some purposes, but ho feared to recommend - Its use for a permanent structure of th* character of the We"— City building. He feared, that In tlma, th* edges might crumble. In view of thla report and the very vig orous tight mode against It by th* Kan sas City people, the secretary f*U that he could not assume th* responsibility of accepting the Oeorgta bid. He regretted th* matter very much, but he could not do otherwise than ho did." Here Is the statement, first, that tbe fight on the Venable granite was untlu by the people of Ktnats City, who ere more Interallied In tho charyter of the building to be erected thru anybody else, nnd second, that an • (port, Pro- Merrill, was sent ty Georgia for the purpose of examining the Venable granite, and reported in a way that made Its acceptance practically Im possible. Instead of '.be Venable stone having the approval of the govern- meat exports, therefore, U was con demned by that one of them whose apodal duty M was <o pan upon it* merits. It may be entirely true that tbs expert made a mistako-w* hope be did—but bts report certainly left Secretary Carlisle in no position to award tbe contra at to the Venables, the fsoe of the bitter opposition of the Kansas City people. Suppose the building wen about to be erected in Atlanta, instead of Kan sas City, sod th* people of Attain* bit tcrly opposed tbe use ot stone brought from Tennessee tnd favored stone brought from Alabama. Suppose, fur ther, that the report of s government expert, detailed for the special purpose of examining into the question, bad At Its recent session the Alabama legislature had before It for determina tion precisely the same question with which congress baa been struggling thla session. It la necessary to refund a large parit of the state debt It is possible to do this at a lower rate of Interest If the new bonds shall prom tse payment In “gold” than If payment is promised In "lawful money." The difference in the rate of Interest would make u difference of about 4100,000 year in the tuxes paid by the people of the state. At tint demagogy con trolled the legislature, it refused To permit the word gold to be Inserted in the face of the bo fids. But afterwards It thought better of this and the dttot will be refunded in bonds wh ch prom ise to pay sne same Kina or money which is received for them—that is to say, cold. The Alabama UwiaUtnro was braver In doing this—more con siderate of the interests ot tax payers, and dess the Slave of demagogic op- neats to popular prejudice—itt»n con gress Is showing Itself to be. Nobody seriously doubts that the bonds Issued by Alabama -and those issued by tne United States government will be paid in gold, or money exchangeable for gold In any market lu the world. If It were otherwise, the bonds recently Issued by Ithe federal government, pay able In coin, could not be sold for more than sixty cents on the dottar. The low rate at which they were act ually taken—about 104 1-2—was due to the ftict that a certain faction in con gress Is trying to make tnem payable In silver. Nobody really believes that this faction will be auocesstqt, but tne public mind has been somewhat Im proved by Its violence and ajagrewf vc- ness, and therefore lenders discount ty a small percentage tbe promises of the government to pay in com. Tne amount cf that discount 4s In prop r tlon to the danger, as the people wh- lood the money estimate It, of the free silver cause being suoccvful. Accord Ing to their figures. Its chances of suc- amount to about seven In one hundred. Alabama tax payors are to be con gm tula ted on tbe action of their leg Mature. When their bonds are dne, they w.U pay no moro man if tncy hut promised to pay coin Instead of gold, and.
