Why then, is this vast sum given away to
the national banksH Why, indeed, should not
the whole amount Of twenty millions or more
be saved Never was anything so absurd
heard of before. Never before did a Govern
ment recklessly squander away such vast
sum. And how easy it is TO remedy the evil
All Congress has to do is to withdraw the
national bank currency, issue legal tenders in
their place, and cancel the three hundred mil
lions of interest-bearing bonds now deposited
as security by the banks. The legal tenders
would buy up these bonds. That is how the
Government and people would get the profit
on the currency, and how twenty millions
year could be saved. The banks could do
their business on legal tenders. A law could
be framed regulating the number of banks,
the condition of their existence, and all about
them, just as well as the present law regulates
the national banks. We want no other con-
neotion between the Government and banks.
II does not suit us to follow the English in
their banking system. We need something
more simple and adapted to our own condi-
ton. But, at least, let us not do worse. Let
us not perpetuate the monstrous and danger
GUS national bank monopoly which takes away
from the people twenty millions or more
year without the least consideration in return.

of Messrs. Eliot and Stevens, and to give
color to the opinion that they are political
necessity.
The acceptance of Governor Orr's advice
would vindioate the South from the stigma
under which IL labors. Granting, as our Rich
mond correspondent contends, that the people
have no faith in the efficacy of anything they
may do or propose, it by no means follows that
nothing should be attempted The reverse
would probably be nearer the right. Because

people prove that they are unwilling to CON

are identical with the Congressional amend
ment, and to at least one guarantee-that of
negro suffrage-for which until the other day
Congress never asked. The more extreme the
measures of the House, the more necessary is
II ior the south to listen to the suggestions
which Governor Orr and others have at the
eleventh hour indorsed.

America and the Greeks.
From, the World.

FROM Ule HOTtd.
1t is to be hoped that there is no truth in
the story that General Kalergis or Admiral
Canaris, or some other eminent Hellenic hero,
is on his way to this country to thank the
people of the United States for past tavors
extended to the Greeks, and to ask the further
qualification of a couple of monitors. In a
general way, the American people certainly do
sympathize with the Greeks, who desire 10
shake off the Turkish yoke; and it is probable
that if proper pains were taken 10 represent
any given case of destitution in Greece, pro
perly to the American public, we should
extend such relief as is in our power to the
sufferers, most heartily and freely.
But the masses of the American people nave
no earthly intention of allowing themselves to
be 'mixed up' with the teverish and confused
politics of the Levant, and the actual emer-
aency of the Greek Cretans has unlucklly
been mt before the people here in the way
least calculated to command our support and
onr nractical help If General Kalergis comes
here he will find that after a great deal of
explosive oratory from second-rate agitators,
thankful for a new theme, wretched sum OF
fifteen or twenty thousand dollars has been
raised for the benefit of his fellow -countrymen
and that so far are we from any intention of
committing ourselves as a nation to the Greek
cause, that no political character of the least
pretensions TO real influence or position has
thought it worth his while to meddle with the
matter at all. We have our own Greeks to
look after, and our own Turks to put down,
and it is cruel trifing with the fears and
! hopes, the passions and the interests, of a
| noble people, to make the European Greeks
| believe that we have any mind to concern eur
selves seriously and efficiently about them or
! their affairs.

Our latest cable news relating to the peace
negotiations In Europe will be found in
another column. The members Of the pro-
posed conference will consist Of the repre-
sentatives Of Great Britain, France, Prussia,
Austria. Russia, and the King Of Holland as
Grand Duke Of Luxemburg.
The preliminaries supposed to be already
agreed upon are as follows -
Rra-France is not to enlarge her present
boundaries
Second The fortifcations Of Luxembourg arc
to be evacuated and dismantled.
Third-The future political status Of the
Grand Duchy is to be determined by the con-
ference.
Fburth-The final decision Of the conference
is to be guaranteed by all the governments
participating therein.
It will be seen from this telegram that Ma
poleon does not abandon his purpose. Lux

France. On the other hand, there is nothing to
indicate that Prussia is to be hindered In her
work of consolidation.

All the party papers admithat the most
foul corruption existed in tn late Albany
Legislature, and yet as the fs came before
them they were exceedingly pusd to find out
the cause Of the corruption. Wcan tell them
very briefly. For the last twty years the
Corporation Of this city and thailroad COM
panies have spent ten millions dollars Of the
peoples money-half millioA ycar-in
corrupting the Legislature throu tAeir lobby
agencies. During the last sessioietwcen i've

the Richmond press. II lie would leave the
press to correct the press he would save him
selfa vast deal of trouble. The best and mos
effective answer to foolish or violent article ir
. anewspaper is squib from another paper II
Is too paltry business for distinguished gen
eral to try to conduct any paper. The more.
violent . journal Is the more certain and speedy
the reaction. During the war the Rishmond
papers were full Of the grossest abuse Of Abra-
ham Lincoln, "the Yankees" and so forth.
When We got batch Of them we always pub
lished the most violent Of their articles, and
had good laugh at them for the next two
days We never got angry. We took their
attacks in the best Of humor. Therefore we,
advise our military chieftains in the South
Generals Sickles, Scho6eld, Pope and the rest
not to meddle with the press. Let the bad
taste Of one paper be corrected by the good
taste Of another. They viii find this much the
best course in the end.

power of Ristori's genius appears to have

doubtful whether, after all, the balance OF
power was not too much in the hands of France.
With disunited Italy on the one hand and q.
disunited Germany on the other, France GER
tainly had little cause to be dissatisfied with her
position. The treaties of 1915 are now no more
Italy Is no longer number of diverse and con-
aicting principalities, but united and power
full monarchy. Germany, from being prostrate,
helpless and at the mercy Of France, has risen
into bold and resolute attitude Of defiance.
II would be strange If France were not giving
signs that she feels her altered position. The
treaties Of 1915, which she 80 much detested,
are gone; and Frenchmen Of every class and
Of all shades of opinion are surprised that their
country has not been made stronger, but rather
weaker, by the change. It Il this circumstance
which renders new starting point necessary
both for France and for Europe. The balance
ofpower, therefore, will be the principal ques-
ton which will command the attention of the
London Conference, and which, more than
any other, will give tone and character
to all their proceedings. Az It is little
likely France win take exceptions In
Germany to what she encouraged and aided In
Italy, the unifcation Of Germany, under certain
qualifications, will, it is all but certain, receive
the sanction of the London Conference, and by
fresh treaties the equilibrium of power in
Europe may be more effectually secured than
for many years has been deemed possible. It
is not to be imagined, however, that concession
will all be on the side Of Franco
There are many outstanding questions which
demand attention, and the solution of which
my task TO the utmost the skill of the pleni-
potentiaries. The Schleswig- Holstein affair is
not yet settled; and it is not to be doubted that
one of the results Of the conference, unless its
proceedings be altogether fruitless, will be the
concession of their rights to the inhabitants of
the northern part Of the united Duchy. The
treaty of Prague, it is not impossible, may, in
more than one particular, be reconsidered
and even modified. The Eastern question,
though not, perhaps, formally, will be certain
to be considered; and it will not surprise us
to find that one Of the first fruits Of the confer
ence is joint movement by which it is hoped
to bring the affairs Of the East to definite and
perhaps permanent settlement
On whom will devolve the duty Of presiding
in the conference we have yet to learn. Lord
Stanley is in many respects the most likely man,
not only in the Cabinet, but In the country. To
have brought about such an event is proud
triumph to the present government, and re-
fleets no small honor on him who is its virtual
head. To the many honors he has already won,
Benjamin Disraeli, the Jew Chancellor Of the
English Exchequer, can now add this other, that
in crisis Of great and imminent peril he was
instrumental in averting from Europe all The
horrors Of war, and, perhaps, In laying the
foundation Of . firm and lasting peace.
