backs possible Two classes Of currency, one
legal tender and the other an irredeemable
promise to pay of q bank, but both dependent
upon the faith and credit of the government
for their circulating value, are anomalies which
in themselves should be convincing proof
that the baleful system ought to be swept
| away.
| In this connection we have a word to say to
Mr.. Blaine. Congress meets q week from
to-day, and it may be regarded as certain that
he will be the Speaker of the next House OF
Representatives In naming the Committee
on Banking and Currency this time he must
consult the real interests of the country.
Heretofore it has been under the direct in
fuence Of the national banking system. Its
chairman was banker and some of its leading
members were bank officers. From such a
committee it was impossible to obtain fair
report on any financial proposition; it was
particularly impossible to obtain any recon-
mendations inconsistent with the interests of
the national bank monopoly, however neces-
sary to the interests Of the country. With
such committee controlling the currency
question, and more anxious to legislate in
favor of the banks than of the people, reform
is impossible. If the banks did not believe
they had Congress in their power they would
not have dared to show the recklessness they
have exhibited. If the Treasury Department
did not believe the banks controlled Congress
it would have done its duty in enforcing the
law, and the majority OF the banks would
have been compelled to go into liquidation
for falling to make currency payments in
the late panic. This failure on the part
effects of the panic than any other single
cause. The attention of Congress must be
directed to this subject and Mr.. Blaine owes
it to the country that the committee shall be
so constituted that its deliberations may not
be entirely in the interests Of the banks.
While these institutions remain constituted
as they now are there is no business safety for
the country The banking business must be
left to the people just as the fishing business
or any other business is left to them. Con-
gress has no right to create special class of
monopolists, and it is especially unjust that
the credit of the government should be
hypothecated for the franchise with which
these monopolists are clothed. If the United
States are responsible for the currency of the
country they should have the benefit of the
whole, and not merely of part of it; while,
with the national bank circulation in the way,
it is by no means certain that we can have
either a convertible or an elastic currency

The Vienna Exhibition-The Lesson
and Hopes OF the Exposition.

and Hopes OF the Exposition.
We print this morning the closing 9chapter
in the history of the Vienna Exhibition. The
substance of this report has been anticipated
by telegraph, but we cannot permit this stu
pendous effort of Austrian enterprise and in
dustry to pass into history without giving
some thoughts that occur to us. The progress
made by the Austrian people during the last
forty years is so marked that we cannot but
congratulate the Emperor and the liberal and
wise men by whom he is surrounded upon the
important changes he has made in his Empire
Perhaps the most instructive feature Of the
Exhibition is international. Austria has
shown every desire for sympathy and COM
merce with other nations. Apart from the
mere display of wealth and industry in the
Industrial Palace we have had convocations
of scientific men, the results of whose deliber-
atoms will be q valuable contribution to scien-
tifc literature. As we are about to have an
Exhibition Of our own we shall do well to learn
the lessons of her failure. We see in the first
place that, while the Industrial Palace, as an
architectural contrivance, was unsurpassed in
Its way, Tor purposes OF observation 1T was
failure What our builders in Philadelphia
must do is to make an exhibition building that
will not exhaust the interest of the visitor be-
fore he passes through one-ffth of its corr-
dors. II must not be long days journey
from the modern industry of the United States
TO the older industry of Turkey. There must
be none Of those police restrictions which took
all comfort from the visitor and made day
in the Prater as perplexing almost as on initia-
ton into secret society. Nor must our fell
low citizens Of Philadelphia fall into the error
Of building new city at the expense Of their
visitors. We do not expect in Philadelphia
an exhibition as large o. as varied rs
in Austria Before we can expect any foreign
exhibitors to be really serious and anxious
about coming to Philadelphia we must mend
our protective laws 80 that the tariff will not
be virtually dyke to prevent German or
French taste and English ingenuity from COM
ing and making themselves manifest So far
from hoping to make any money in pccu-

A Good Word for a Christian Hero

A Good Word for Christian Hero
In the appeal Of Captain Fry, OF the Vir

peal of brave man, worthy the heroism O
sthe brave days Of old Rome"--of her
whose courage, chivalry, tenderness and fidel

by any of the glorious examples OF history,
And what an unhappy life was his
and what melancholy death How
saddening are these words of his ap
peal tor his unfortunate crew :-s'Ths

Admiral Polo ON the Outrage.

Admiral Polo ON the Outrage.
The Spanish Minister at Washington, in on
interview with q HERAID correspondent yes
terday, gave what may be substantially taken
as the orthodox Spanish view Of the Virginius
outrage OF course, Admiral Polo has felt the
American pulse, and finds that the indigna-
ton here is limited to very small
number particularly, no doubt, the entire
American press. He is careful to think that
the regularly documented virginius was not
entitled to American protection. Her cap
ture on the high seas was, he considers, all
right because as he remarks, 'the American
Consul at Kingston did wrong in
clearing her." This is exceedingly cool, but it
is Spanish. We had better, indeed, remove
the Consul at once and appoint the butcher
Burriel in his place if we wish to learn how
to administer our own laws, of which we have
hitherto supposed ourselves the judge. Then,
as to the butchery at Santiago it was all right
also. They have municipal law, and if they
sent man-of-war to New York and captured
the Cuban Junta on Sandy Hook, they would
calmly butcher them as soon as the man-of
war entered Cuban port. Then we are to
think of the ''sister Republic" if we still find
it in our hearts to say word against the
bloody minded ruffians who slaughter
our citizens at will We confess
that all this is very poor pleading in a
bad cause, but then the Spanish Minister
must be respected for doing the best he can
for it. 1t is, however, something quite re-
lieving when the brave Spanish sailor throws
off the diplomat and tells u.s. there is Cuba;
stake it if you can." He is hardly certain
that we could not take it; but then there is
q tough fight in store for us. When we
have got it, he asks, what will we do
with it ? He has learned from some intelligent
Americans, possibly marines, that 'the Cubans
are incapable of self-government" but there
is little use in discussing that question just
now. 1t will be settled in it's own good time,
even if we are compelled to take Cuba for
ourselves.

we should feel at the outset that if every dol
Lar is lost that is given to the Fairmount Pal
ace, and if there are large deficiencies to be
paid by the national government we shall
have true success if we make upon the world
as fair an impression as Austria has made if
we can show that our industry is as far
advanced as that of the people who only few
years ago were despised by us for their super
stition and ignorance and apparent decay.

situdes Of those best laid among mice and
men. There are times when o nation will NOD
be turned aside from its just purpose by
thing of tricks and hollow bombast Spain
and the United States have been raving st
each other through their respective diplomats,
and Secretary Buchu has begun to turn and run.
He is somewhat dismnyed to find that tho
indignation reused by the virginius outrags
will not down at his Buchu bidding. He must
do something to gain time, and he querulously
whimpers, 1.-THE country has given itself up
to passion" He finds that while his crescendc
pleased the nation, his dininuendo is secuted
as the sign of trimmer and Q
craven. He may sneer and sniggel
in his sleeve, but if he loves his
place he will change his tune. To
Secretary Buchu national honor is moth
ing. He will endeavor to save as much Of his
plan as he dares, and we may not be surprised
if we learn that he agrees to take the word OF
impotent Spain for the fulflment of oil his de-
mands, except the abolition of slavery If he
succeeds in palming off this upon the coun-
try he will triumph SO far that as Spain
is unable to give US any redress in
Cuba, the country will be left with
an empty apology in its ears, amid the
renewed rejoicings Of the savage Spanish
wretches who dragged the mutilated corpsea
Of Ryan and Varona around the streets of San
tiago de Cuba. We shall see how Secretary
Buchu acts, and if his quackery can cheat the
nation out of its due the people will put this
latest humiliation, along with the others they
have suffered, in the museum, where will be
gibbeted for all time the shameful doings we
have seen perpetrated in the age Of Buchu.
