Fanciful FinancierinR.

Naturally enough Secretary Windom's
great combination safety interconvertible
2per cent. bond scheme was very promptly
rejected by the senatorial republican
caucus. Though it was not dangerously
weak nor essentially wicked it was SO very
mildly meritorious as to be wholly lacking
in any definitely practical purpose. There
fore it was defeated not so much because it
was especially baneful as that it was ep-
parently in no way beneficial Briefly sum-
merized here is the proposition:
Two per cent. bonds were to be Issued to
the amount Of $3O0.000, 900 say, which any
holder might at any time deposit with the
treasury and receive treasury no es therefor.
While the bonds were in the treasury, how
ever, no interest was to be paid on them.
Surely nothing could be safer or more
nicely balanced. Notes would then be
amply secured by the bonds. Since the
bonds would be public bonds and not rail-
road bonds or farm mortgages
legislation. Since any individual who
held these bonds-no matter in how
small an amount-might deposit and re.
ceive currency for them, there would be no
favoritism TO national banks. So perfect
was the elasticity of the plan that the
bonds would be sure to be depos-
tied when the rates of interest were high and
more money was needed. As soon as the
rate of interest fell, and less money was
needed, they would be redeemed. Since it
would pay no interest on the bonds which
it held as security for the currency issued
the government would thus become
gamer. 1t was very symmetrical and
plausible thing indeed. But like the beau
tifully polished and brilliantly imperative
flying machine of immortal memory it
wouldn't work.
When people buy bonds of any character
whatever two all important conditions or
prospects prompt them thereto. Either
they want a safe investment at fair inter-
est, or they want to make money immedi-
ately or ultimately. Possibly both are
taken into account. At least one is indis-
pensable. Here we have the clement Of
safety surely. But there is nothing to be
made. Other things quite as safe offer
quite fair returns Profits would certainly
never luuuce duy QUO 10 invest IN CnlS
scheme. How would it profit man to
borrow 81 900 when he must put up 81 900
to get it II he had the 81, 900 he wouldn't
want to borrow it. AS for the two
per cent. interest paid while the bonds
are out of pawn that would simply be a
needless tax upon the government for money
which it has no earthly use for. No poor
man could afford toinvest his savings at 9
per cent when the savings banks are pay
ing 4, and 6, according to the location
thereof. And if the owner should need the
use of the money he can certainly get all
he has on deposit at any time and without
unrolling any red tape about II. SO tae
government would simply waste per cent.

for surplus cash, while tne national treas.
ury now has more than IL really know:
what to do with-legitimately.

a Closer Union nes.red.

A very noticeable feature of the inter
state immigration convention at Asheville.
n. C., is the desire for genuine feeling of
confidence and good fellowship between the
north and the south. And this desire was
strongly expressed at the recent convention
Of the National Farmers Alliance at Ocals,
which wes largely composed Of southern
men. Nothing would give the southern
people greater satisfaction than
the entire disappearance of sec
tional animosity. They think that
the feeling of bitterness engendered by the
civil war ought TO have disappeared long
ago, and that the people Of the north and
south should work together harmoniously
for the prosperity of the whole country.
The resolutions relative to sectional ani~
mosities, introduced into the Asheville con-
vention, are indicative of the sentiment
which prevails il the south, and if the peo-
pie of the north would meet the people of
the south half way there would be no more
sectional legislation and no more exhibit
tions of sectional bitterness.
And there is no good reason why there
should be a political line dividing the north
and the south. There would be no such
line il the republican leaders would cease
their efforts to use the south to keep their
party in power. These leaders, ever since
the civil war ended, have not only misrepre.
sented the south with the view of keeping the
northern people hostile to her, but they have
insisted that the south should be dealt with
as if she were not loyal to the government.
They, and they alone. ere responsible for
the sectional animosties which find express
sion in northern newspapers and on the floor
of congress.
What is the force bill but an effort to put
the southern people under bayonet rule and
humiliats thems That the bill would be
productive of race disturbances and retard
the south's prosperity no thinking man,
who fully understands what the effect of
that bill would be, for a moment doubts
There is no necessity for such bill, but the
attempt to pass it leads the northern
people TO think there is, and
creates the impression that the south is
doing something that demands strong re-
pressive legislation. The great majority of
the northern people who harbor feelings
hostile to the south do not know what the
true condition of affairs in the south is If
they knew the truth very few of them
would have any animosity to the southern
people. The truth, however, is kept from
them by the republican leaders and repub-
lican organs.
What the southern people want is pence
and prosperity. They have lands which
they want occupied, mines which they want
worked and advantages which invite
factories. The Asheville convention says,
and says truly, that the south wants capital
and immigrants She will welcome both
warmly, and to both she makes offers that
cannot be equaled any where else in the
country. The southern people do not want
any political division. They are willing
and anxious to lend helping hand d 20 the
upbuildiug of the whole country.

Indicting the Attorney General of the
United States appears rather a singular
proceeding. That it should bs necessary to
do so is still more strange. That the chief
law officer Of the United States should COM
init petty infraction Of the law he is
sworn to enforce does seem positively in
credible. That it should have been covertly
done only aggravates the offense. Should
he be proven guilty of the oGsnse charged
against him at Indianapolis he ought to be
punished to the utmost penalty of the law.
Violating a well known law. on which
there is a penalty OF $500, merely
to save 3 cents postage, is just q
trihe too mean to 60 unpunished
But who is to do it? That's the question.
Certainly a man who had committed a
petty violation of his oath Of office could
not be safely relied upon to prosecute him
self very vigorously. Nor would his sub
ordinates be likely to take such a venture,
lest their conscientious zeal might cost them
their official heads. Thus the matter
stands

What the great Chief Red Cloud says
about the Indian distur Dances may safely
be credited. He says that the agent got
scared about the ghost dances and asked for
troops, who arrived and pillaged the Indian
villages and subjected them to many indig-
mites. Writing very sorrowfully the old
chief tells his troubles to friend in the
east with the solemn assurance that none of
his people had done anything to provoke
assault. Yet whenever there is the slight
est approach TO an outbreak the red man
always gets the worst Of it. There is no
doubt but these untutored savages are out
rageously treated by those O. trusted with
their property and the custody of their
liberty. Nor can they communicate with
others higher in authority except through
those inimical agents. It's rather hard.

Advertiser. One of the main con.
tentions on which the advocacy of
new treaty relations is prosecuted is
that the Republican Party, in being
the first organization in long time
controlling the three branches OF the
Executive and Legislative, is the
party to give Hawaii now or never
treaty benefits magnitled and ex.
tended beyond those now enjoyed.
Yet the Advertiser is found, in the
midst Of its agitation for those en-.
hanced treaty benefits, intimating
that the Republican Party has been
taken in hand for swift destruction
by the gods, who have already sue
ceeded in reducing that party to the
requisite preliminary stage of mad
ness. According to the Advertiser,
our hope of improved relations from
the Republican Party would be
about on a par with that OF getting
coming seasons supply Of milk
from cow already sold to the
| butcher.
Further. the Advertiser bewails
the apparent intention of the Re
| publican Party TO raise the duties
| on wool and fruit and other articles.
| At the same time its co-agitators for
a new treaty believe that, with just
little bit OF the Hawaiian "birth-
right" as Mr.. Davies aptly put it,
thrown into the scale this country
could get perpetual free trade in all
products, Of course including wool,
with the United States. Mr., Bald
win and others laid great stress on
the prospect of getting WOO! on the
free list. DO the Advertiser X Co.
forget that the advantages Of ouI
present treaty relations are very
largely due 10 the existence of hlgl
