The New York Times of Monday
had long article showing the peril
DIV of Senator Butler Of South Caro-
lima. Butler, while delegate to the
Taxpayers Convention, made a bar
gain with a number of persons en-
gagged in specializing in South Caro-
lima bonds, whereby he was to use
his influence as member Of the con
vention to further the schemes of the
speculators; that in consideration OF
such conduct on his part he was to
receive ten per cent. OF the profits
which should accrue to the specula-
tors from the action of the conven-
ton, and he really performed his
share of the bargain. The story OF
Buffers perfidy and the manner in
which it was disclosed form an inter-
esting narrative which has hitherto
been untold.

New York city were very heavy-in
all 874, with liabilities amounting to
nearly $5O,00O,OO0, and assets about
sci, 100000. The reader should bear
in mind, however, that many of the
failures announced throughout the
country are intentional and really
designed to cheat creditors under op-
Grafton Of the bankrupt law.

monstrate the cumulative power of

landing at jamestown, 1907, had loan

est being added at the end of each
year-his claim the present year

THE aggregate steam-power in use
in the world is at present three and
oue-half millions horsepower EN-
ployed in stationary engines, and ten
millions horsepower in locomotive
engines. This force is maintained
without the consumption of animal
food, except by the miners who dig
the Goals, and the force maintained
in their muscles is to the force gen.
Grated by the product OF their labor
about / to 1880. This steam-power
is equal to the working force pf
25,0OO,O 900 of horses, and one horse
consumes three times as much food
as one man. The steam power there
fore, is equiyelaut to the saving of
food for $4,000, 900 Of human beings.
Further, three power-looms, attended
by one man, produce seveuty-eight
pieces of cotton fabric, against four
pieces produced by one hand-loom,
worked by one man in the year 1900.

FINANCIAL.

The week was marked financially by
the sale Of the Erie Railroad and the
passage by Congress of the Pacific Rail-
road Sinking Fund bill. These matters
affect about 400 millions of railroad
stocks and bonds. The syndicate has
taken their second optional installment of
S5,O00,0O0 of the Government loan of
12 per cent bonds recently contracted
for with Secretary Sherman, very much
to the surprise of everybody, it was un-
derstood that it would not be taken up
until May l. AS $10,000,000 were
taken when the contract was signed,
about fortnight ago. the syndicate has
thus taken the loan at the rate of $l,-
100000 day. A member of the syn
dictate says that the popularity of the
loan is much greater than even the most
sanguine member of the syndicate had
believed it would be, and that it need
astopish no one now if the syndicate
should take up the entire S50,000,000
contracted for by the lst of July. The
request for Government bonds for in.
vestment is attributed to the desire Of
all classes of people to put their savings
into the best securities, and it has beer
found that the bonds have been largely
taken by persons who have closed W
their accounts with savings banks, anC

PROPOSED INVESTIGATION OF
THE INVESTIGATORS

The Republicans are beginning to
take the aggressive in the matter of in-
vestigation of everything connected with
the Electoral count, and the friends of
the President are declaring that they
are quite willing to try the whole ques-
ton before the people, by means of the
committee of FIVE of both houses, and
sufficiently numerous to give strong
working body. They insist that the
Cronin college in Oregon and the at
tempts to purchase electoral votes in
Louisiana and Florida and South Caro-
lima, can be proven, and that if the fact
of the election can be inquired into in
Alabama and Mississippi, as well as the
disputed States, the Democrats will wish
they had let we'll enough alone. There
are good many Democrats who will
vote with the Republicans to make the
investigation sufficiently general to COW
er all of Tilden's operations or the acts
of his particular friends. They will do
this because they know that the whole
movement for the investigation originat-
ed with him. and that it proceeded upon
the theory that all the Democrats could
be forced to support it, and so the only
way for those thus forced against theil
inclination to make things even for the
Tilden clique, Is to make the scope Of
the inquiry as broad as the administra.
ton Republicans may desire, under tn,
belief that such exposure of Tilden will
follow as to efectually take him out o
the way of the Democrats in future
There are quite a number of Democrat
who seem determined. if the inquiry be-
gins, that it shall demolish Tilden, what
ever effect it may have upon the Repub
licans.

aspire to and achieve leadership among
men that, if not very elevated. takes
honors not expected by prize fighter,
without having exceptional endowments
from nature. Morrissey was born in
Troy but went to New York in l840.
where he. soon became feared as most
formidable rough and terrible fighter.
In 1851 he went to California, but re-
turned in 1862. From this time he
was known as prize fighter. He de-
feated Yankee Sullivan in 1868. His
last appearance in the ring was against
John G. Heenan, whom he defeated in
battle for the championship in October.
1857. He went to England to witness
and bet upon the Heenan-Sayers battle,
and as he always bet against the Benicia
Boy, he improved his fortune greatly by
the trip. On his return to New York,
he added politics to his other avocations,
and became very influential in the down.
town wards. By his political influence
he made himself powerful in protecting
gamblers from police interference, and
the gamblers thus became ardent minis.
ters to his ambition.
His constituents elected him to Con-
gress, and he more than once, in def.
ance of Tammany, has been elected tc
the New York Legislature, at the time
of his death being a Senator from New
York city Gambler as he was, he new

Tweed always tempted him in vain. II
fairly measure him, he must be judged
by the progress he made from his start
ing point, and judged in this way, he il
deserving of great credit. He grew il
character and capacity and moralit,
after he reached full maturity. He di,
not shake off all his gross vices, but b

of early advantages, moral education
and humane surroundings succeed in dc
ing after ripe manhood is reached.

THE DANGER AND THE
REM EOY.

The New York EVening Post very
justly says "the one danger which
threatens the country is communism
not communism just nov which asserts
itself in the robbing of banks, the burn
of houses and the shooting of persons
who have saved any money; but COM
munism in its essence and doctrine,
which are violation of the rights of
property and eventually must be de-
structive of organized society,"" And
with equal truth it adds 1.-The COM
munistic elements of the country are
largely in the democratic party" There
is no escape from this pregnant declara-
ton. The utterances of Bland and Ew-
ing embody the spirit of communism.
When Bland threatens to wipe out the
debt as with sponge, that the offspring
of the communistic impulse. When
Ewing strikes at all the safeguards Of
honor and security, and demands wild
financial orgy. that is the same tenden-
cy. Go to the West, and the most revo.
lutionary doctrines are put forth in
democratic assemblages. GO to the
South, and the lawless raids on the
treasury come from the same spirit
The reckless course of the majority il
the House of Representatives is the off
cial expression, These truths make tn,
Republican party the sole hope of tn,
country as much as at any previous pc
Rod of its career. 1t is the one couser
vative force which stands as a bulwarl
against these dangerous tendencies
The sound and the true men who woul
promote general security find no othe
resource.
