IN HARMoNY,s INTEREST.

Governor Campbell, Of Ohio, WIN De-
cline Renomination, 1t 10 Said.
CHICAGO, July 11.--A Tribune special
from Cincinnati says: Governor Camp
bell viii be re-nominated at Cleveland
next week beyond all question. He has
secured more than enough delegates to
accomplish this result. Then, accord
ing to the statement of one Of his most
intimate friends, he will make a sacri-
fee of himself, and rin the interest of
peace and harmony decline the> honor.
This project was agreed on in New
York at conference of Campbells
friends within the last four or five days,
and the man who was deputized to make
the necessary arrangements to the end
arrived in Cincinnati Wednesday night.
1t looks as If the arrangement would be
a go. If it should be, Governor Camp
bell will play for higher stakes than the
governorship of Ohio.

The letter of J. N. Goodwin, of the
Ohio River and Lake Erie Canal Commits
sion. published elsewhere in this issue,
contains a vast store of technical informa-
ton with regard to various canal projects
for the future. The points with regard to
canals in futurity destined to shorten the
water route between Chicago and the sea-
board are interesting in their bearing on
the Western Pennsylvania project.
The new point which Mr.. Goodwin
brings out in this letter is the value of the
canal as military project. He shows that
on the scale planned for the canal, vessels
of larger and heavier freight capacity than
the Concord and Yorktown class could
pass from PittSburg to Lake Erie in thirty
hours. If the naval protection of our vast
lake-shore interests is of weight in de-
termining such matters, this argument is
conclusive in favor of the canal At pres
ent Great Britain controls all the water
routes from the ocean to the Great Lakes,
and in the event of war that vast stretch
of water would be at her mercy. NOother
avenue to the lakes is as readily opened
within the territory of the United States
as this one; and while the opening of other
water routes may be indorsed as parts of
the great general plan of internal naviga-
tion, it is plain that the Ohio River and
Lake Erie Canal is the first in importance
for the protection of all the lakes above
the WeIland Canal.
But it is the commercial value of the
canal that constitutes its most immediate
claim upon the public attention. The
magnitude of its effect upon commerce
and industry have already been so fully
set forth that it would be repetition to refer
to them here. Mr.. Goodwin's letter shows
the reasons for determining the size and
depth of the canal as fixed by the Canal
Commission In discussing this and col
lateral points he shows a variety of in
formation which evinces the closest and
most exhaustive study Of the entire sub
iect OF shin canals.

THE PoLICE PENSION VETO.

Between the two executive stools the
police pension fund is likely TO fall 10 the
ground. Governor Pattison on one side,
and Mayor Gourley on the other, have
used their vetoes on it so fatally, that its
hope of resurrection must be left to the
future.
The executive opinions on this measure
indicate a divergence on the Constitutional
question. 1t will be remembered that
Governor Pattison vetoed the bill author
izing the fund on the ground that, as
Councils already have powerin the matter,
tine legislative enactment was unnecessary.
But the Mayors veto now holds that in
establishing the fund Councils transcribed
their power. Where two executive
doctors disagree, the courts might safely
be left to decide; but the result of this
disagreement bids fair to be that nothing
is left to submit to the courts, and the
police will be left unpensioned.
Some of the Mayors criticisms of the
details of the bill may be well taken. But
they are minor details. Of the subject as
a whole it is pertinent to repeat our belief
that the morale of the police force would
be much improved by provision for disa-
bilities m the line Of duty. 1t is still to be
hoped that a method will be found for
effecting that desirable purpose.

srANFoRDs PoITy1c.Iy VIEWS.

There is world of unconscious humor
in the views on the present condition Of
politics and society stated in a recent let
ter of Senator Stanford to a Missourian.
The perfect good faith with which the
Senator asserts that everything is all right
which suits the interest of Stanford, and
that the only reforms that are necessary
are those which Stanford wishes, makes it
altogether one of the most delicious politi-
cal contributions of the age.
The Senator thinks that the Peoples
party makes the mistake of putting too
many questions in its platform. The
money question, the people might agree
upon, but they-evidently referring to the
Stanford party-would entirely differ on
the railroad plank. This is for the reason,
from the Stamford point of view, that the
railroad question isall llright "The cheap
est railroading in the world is in the
United States" Besides, a system which
has concentrated some two score millions
or more in the hands of one Leland STAN
ford cannot be very obnoxious.
On the land loan question the Senator
thinks that his measure is the great meas
ure of the age. Besides the opportunity
it would afford for the owners of great
land grants to unload upon the Govern
ment, the Senator has received numerous
very complimentary letters, some of them
nominating him for the Presidency-which
of course he declares that he will not be a
candidate for.
Having defined his position on these
issues it is interesting to observe that the
Senator dismissed the knotty and vexed
question of the tariff with single SEN
tence: "The old question of the tariff can
hardly be called strictly party question.
Having left Hancock's famous local issue
in the shade, the Senator proceeds to the
money question, which he ranks as "a live
issue" and on which he defines himself to
the effect that ''if there were no gold
silver would answer the same purpose.
All of which is immensely in harmony
with the spectacle of corporation multi
millionaire posing as the guide, philosopher
and friend of peoples anti-monopoly
movement. Let us hope that Senator
Stanford may feel it necessary to repeat
his determination not to be Presidential
candidate in few more letters. The
nation has better hope for getting back
the worth of its money that the Central
Pacific crowd got in that way than in any
other.

INsUBoRDINATE SOLDIERS.

1t is possible that the last outbreak of
insubordination in the Coldstream Guards
is being elevated to undue Importance
Soldiers of all nations have been won't at
times to indulge in petty outbreaks Of re-
fusal to obey orders which they did not
like Such cases occurred in our Civil
War in many instances which never
reached the public notice, and the regi-
ments which may have refused to parade
in camp because their rations were made
quate or their clothing insufficient never
wavered when the time for real action
came.
II is not very strange or especially sig
nificant that the soldiers which have for
two generations considered themselves the
pets of the English capital should wax fat
and kick The most signifi cant part of
the affair is the explanation of the English
army authorities that the trouble is due to
''quasi-education." The theory that edu-
cation and the English military system
cannot get along together may have some
foundation, but its application is especial
ly severe on the policy maintained by
those offering this explanation.
The matter is less significant because
EngIand's reliance in times of danger and
stress cannot be to any vital degree upon
regular soldiery If the English people as
a whole do not support the Government,
the loyalty of the Life Guards will not
help it. If the people are heartily and
Loyalty supporting the Government the in
subordination of few Life Guards will
make little difference. To refer to such
ali event as the knell of militarism, as has
been done in this country, is misplaced,
because England is not one of the military
powers which relies on its army to enforce
popular obedience to absolute rule, but is
nearly as dependent upon popular ap-
proval to maintain its Government as the
United States
There is hardly more Importance to the
row which Tommy Atkins has been kick
ing up than to the refusal of his cousin,
the British volunteer, to proceed to VIM
bledon by the route that was ordered.
Both show a spirit of independence; but

THE TREASURY DEPOSITS,

Democratic organs show disposition to
make capital of the fact that the Treasury
is drawing heavily on its deposits with
national banks OF the S3O,OOO,OO de-
posted in this way some months ago, one
half was withdrawn previously to this
week, and some 81, 1000, 900 was called in at
the beginning of the week.
This heavy draft upon Government de-
posits is fair game for the Democracy as
evidence that the expenditures of the
Treasury are calling largely upon its sur
plus. But when Democratic papers main
tain, as the Philadelphia Record seems dis
posed to do, that the money of the Treas
ury ought to be kept in the banks, a rather
singular attitude is taken. That journal
indorses as wise and conservative the
policy of Secretary Fairchild in depositing
S47, 900, 900 in the national banks, and re-
fers with scorI to the political capital
which the Republican leaders tried to
make of the fact in the campaign of 1888.
In this the Record is plus r0ydGSst que le
r0t, and more faithful to the national
banks than the party which founded that
system.
1t was undoubtedly good policy for Sec
retary Fairchild to deposit Government
funds in national banks, on good security,
when he had a surplus he could use in no
other way But the function of banks of
deposit is to furnish money on checks of
depositorS. When the Government has
need for the money it would be very
strange view of the relations of banks and
depositors if it could not draw on its de-
posits. 1t is very erroneous friendship
for the banks to intimate that they cannot
meet the drafts their large depositor may
make in a reasonable way.
Of course the contrast between the time
when the Treasury had so much money
that it deposited it with the banks to keep
it in the channels of trade and the time
when it has to draw on those deposits to
meet current appropriations is fair am
munition for our Democratic friends. But
so far as the relation between the Treasury
and the commercial finances of the
country are concered, it is plain that the
money will be put in circulation by the
Treasury payments. Beyond all that is
the obvious rule that when the Govern
ment, like any other depositor, needs the
money it has on deposit it is the business
of the Secretary of the Treasury to draw
on the deposits.

A REFRACTORY FINGER.
The Ring Finger Proves a Source of Trouble
to All Pianists.

Boston Herald.1
Everyone who tried to learn how to play
the piano knows what refractory member
the ring finger, or, as the foreign piano fin
gering designates it, the fourth finger, is. If
you are not a piano student place your
hand on a table and see for yourself how i'm
possible it is to raise that finger as high as
you do the others. Now, while many are
aware of this difficulty, not everybody
knows just what is the cause. Some simply
allude to it as the weak fourth finger' and
let it go at that without seeking for the
cause of the weakness. The trouble is that
when man was created, the possibil ty of his
wishing at some future time to play the
piano was overlooked, and some unneceS-
sary tendons were placed in his hands
which do not tend to facilitate his efforts
in that direction. If the muscles of your
hand were laid bare you would find two ten
dons running to the first finger and two
to the little finger, while but one goes to the
middle and one to the ring finger; but the
one connected with the ring finger sends Off
two short tendons which connect It with the
tendOns of the middle and little fingers, and
it is these two short tendons which do not
seem to be of any special use, which cause
piano students @ vast amount of trouble.
Not only do they hold down the fourth
finger, but they abridge the span of the
hand. A way to overcome the difficulty by
some other means than by long and as
siduous practice has often been sought.
Robert Schumann fastened a cord to his
fourth finger and passed the cord through
pulley fastened to the ceiling. He could ele-
vate his finger by this means at will while
playing his pieces and would hold it back
for a long time. His device was not only
unsuccessful in releasing. the fourth finger,
but caused permanent injury to the hand to
such an extent that he was forced to give up
piano playing.
That the difficulty caused by the super
fiuous tendons may be overcome by per-
sistent practice there can be no doubt.
Lizst, Rubenstein, Bulow, Tausig and hun
dreds of others attest this truth in their
work. As to the policy of having these
tendons cut by the surgeons knife and
thereby escaping much hard work, we find
that it is a mooted question among mu-
