The monthly statement Of Controller Knox
shows that the decrease Of National bank
circulation in March was $l,903,946. Never
thelcss, there was an increase during the
month of 1853, 4O3 in the amount Of legal
tenders on deposit for the retirement OF bank
circulation. The virtual retirement oil clrcula-
ton for the month, therefore, was 50 100000.
IL seems strange that these reports, rs they
come in month after month, do not incto the
members of the House to give the subject I'M
mediate attention. While they are doing moth
ing in rnarvellously able manner. the best
banking system ever deyisedis being destroyed,
not Intentionally, but by their sheer ncapacity.
An hours intelligent attention would suffice to
pass the Mcpherson bill, to which there Is
practically no real opposition, and that OF 1t
self would do some good. Nor is there any
body oil men in the House who openly oppose
the repeal Of the tax on circulation and another
hours attention ought to suffice for measure
so simple, with a Treasury plethoric with
money. But this Congress can dawdle more
and do less than any other within the memory

The Democratic House of Representatives is
MAINLY determined to fill up the measure OF ITS
stupiditv full to OVERLOOKING. Yesterday 1t
passed the bill for the suppression OF the trace
dollar. This was not satisfactory measure IN
the first place; but it was redeemed from utter
badness by the clause directing that as the
trade dollars reached the Treasury they should
be recoined and counted as part of the two mil
lions now required TO be coined into standard
silver dollars every month. Mr. Bland opposed
this clause and succeeded in getting the House
to strike it cut byavo of 131 to lis. There
fore, unless the Senate or the President Kills
this bill, the coinage of supertuous silver dol
lars, now going on at the rate of 24,OOO,0oo a
wear. is TO be further swelled by s,OOo,oOO
Yet Mr.. Bland Is the man for whom Mr. Car
Isle stood godfather when he gave him the
name of Chairman of the Committee on Com
age. Weights and Measures, saying, he viii
do nothing hostile to the financial interests OF
the county,; and "his appointment does not
necessarily mean the continued coinage of sill
yer dollars" This is why we should laugh II
the matter were not so serious.

THE pUBLIC DEBT and DANGER


The reduction of public debt IN March was
S14.23S, 1924, and for three-quartcrs of the
current fiscal year it has been about $o2,OOO,-
600. The country does not desire n reduction
so rapd. nor is it beneficial to any public inter-
est. now that the National credit has been placed
IN n solid foundation. The country has learned
that the taxes are not seriously felt, and that
tbe distribution of money raised by taxes i'll
the REDEMPTION of bonds Immediately restores
it to circulation again among the people from
whom if Is taken. The serious objections TO
a rapid redemption of bonds at this time are
fold. 1t tends to break down the National
banking system, and it hastens the substitution
of silver for gold in the Treasury reserves.
Each of these evils could easily be removed
Inv legislation. The Mcpherson bill and the re-
neal of the tax on circulation would probably
suffice to save the banking system from harm
for some years. The repeal of the silver act, or
the suspension of silver coinage, would save
the Treasury from harm by gradual exhaustion
Of lis gold reserve. But, as matters stand, both
evils exist and are serious.
Tbc surrender of bank circulation goes on
steadily. though slowly. Against about
SIO 900 600 of bonds redeemed last month,
there was surrender of over $3,OOO,OOO of
banl circulation the banks did not find it
sufficiently profitable to buy other bonds in
ulaco of those called. . his will go on as long
"a the existing laws remain in force, and the
more rapidly the bonds are redeemed the more
RAPIDLY the circulation will be retired.

been relating their experiences to their brethren In

The assertion of the Austrian police that two
men now under arrest in Vienna on the charge
of murder were acting on orders from an asso-
citation in this city is interesting, ana II there
is any proof of the statement important results
might follow. Kammerer, one of the men, GER
tainlv lived in New-YOrk some years ago and
was a Socialist but beyond the fact that ne
INDUCED in all kinds of wild threats toward
every person more decent and better OIL than
himself. there is no reason to believe that he Is
the agent of any secret society. If he murdered
the banker, as is supposed, he probably dld t1of
the sake of robbery, or because ne Is crazy
Some weeks ago a lot Of low fellows who once
knew Kammerer met in Irving Hall and passed
q resolution declaring that the Emperor'OfAustri
ought to be killed. The newspapers in Vienna
uublished accounts of that meeting, ana II Is
likely that the police of that city have Jumped
10 the conclusion that this murderer was trying
to carry out its orders.

The lot of teacher in the industrial schools
of this city is not an enviable one at best. The
cbildren's manners are apt to be bad and their
conduct irritating; and doubtless the
voune teacher who has been arrested for whip
ping naughty girl in the Eighteenth Street
School has endured great deal from her pupil.
The fact remains however, that corporal pun
ishment is moi allowed III the public schools, and
ii ought not to be permitted in private or semi
private institutions. There is need OF proper
law on the subject; but there seems to be no
reason why an example should be made OF
the teacher in the case in question.
