From the Baltimore American (Rep).
The bankers Of Detroit have taken wise

tainty that has recently existed in the west
some Of their banks might suffer from run

together and notified depositors that while
all their banks are perfectly solvent they will

This action has had the effect the bankers
desired and has checked the excitement that
they had feared. At the same time 1t has
saved the depositors from the losses they
would have suffered had they drawn from tae
banks their money, which was well invested
and drawing interest.

Outcome of the Panama Scandal.

OUbSOAhG VI VIC 0Gdn0al.
None of the parties who wrecked the
Panama Canal Company by reckless waste
and extravaganza, nor any of those who
filled their pockets from the company's
treasury by Matchmaking and other lie
Ultimate means are to be punished The
parties who were convicted in the trial
court have been set at liberty by the high
est court of France on the ground that
there were defects in the indictments
and that the statute of limitations barred
prosecution for the olfenses with which
they were charged. This practically ends
one of the most remarkable financial
scandals in the worlds history
Only small amount of the many mil
lions of dollars that were paid for the
stock of the Panama Canal Company was
used in the work on tho canal The
money was recklessly thrown away.
Millions of it went into the pockets OF
those who contributed nothing whatever
toward the building of the canal, and
many millions more were paid for work
that amounted to nothing and for machin-
cry that was utterly useless for the pur-
poses for which it was intended
The poorer people of France contributed
most of the money that was sunk in the
Panama undertaking They put their
small savings into the stock of the COM
pany because they had confidence in NJ.
de Lesseps, and because they were led to
believe they would get extraordinary
dividends on their investment.
At first there may have been a purpose
to deal honestly with them, but, later
on, those on the inside had every
reason to believe that the canal
would be failure Indeed,
from the present point of view, there
never was time when there was a fair
prospect that the canal would be success.
Still, the poor people of France were told
by the subsidized newspapers that every
thing was going on swimmingly, and that

James J. Hill, the organizer OF the Great
Northern railroad the completion of which
has just been celebrated is said to possess
cultivated tastes for things of an artistic
nature. Long before he became rich man
he spent much money in indulging what might
which he has now large collection. He has
also made a serious study of modern art and
has large and choice gallery of the works of
modern painters. Mr.. Hill is said to have
been so averse to the prominence necessarily
given him in the recent celebration that he
tried to dissuade the citizens of st. Paul from
carrying out their plans, and even offered a
large donation for public library il they
would devote to such purpose the amount
spent in the Great Northern celebration.

Lynohings North and South.

From the Springfield Mass Republican Gnd.)
Southern newspapers cannot be blamed for
ringing the changes on the recent disgraceful
outbreaks Of mob law in northern states.
They are turning against the people of Michi-
gan and Illinois all the severe things which
northern people have said about southern
lynching, and nothing can be said in reply.
The truth is that the northerners are by long
odds the worst offenders. Their outbreaks of
brutality directed against defenseless pris-
oner in the hands of the law are without
shadow Of justification. and if the southerners
can sting the people of Michigan and Illinois
into SUFFICIENT indignation to make them pun
ish the crowds OF ruftians that have diSgraced
service.

A troublesome Question Settled.

A Troublesome Question Settled.
The question as 10 whether the fair shall
DE opened Sundays may be regarded as
settled. The United States court of APP
peals yesterday held that the locaIdirect-
ors of the fair are in full control of it,
and the government, Notwithstanding
its gift of S2,5OO,00O in souvenir
half dollars. has no voice what
ever in the matter The unanimous
decision of the court, Chief Justice Full
Ter being one Of the judges, justifes the
conclusion that an appeal will notbe taken
to the United States supreme court. If
an appeal should be taken the decision, in
all probability, would be affirmed. And,
besides, the appeal could not be heard
much, if any, before the close Of the fair,
unless the court should consent to make
an exception of the case and hear it at an
early day.
The decision is, of course, based upon
the law, but in discussing 1t that fact
will be forgotten. Nothing will be said
as to whether or not the courts inter
preted the law correctly, but a great deal
will be said about the effect the decision
will have upon the observance of Sunday
throughout the country. The decision
will be discussed, not from the standpoint
of law, but from that of religion and NOR
atty
The decision will not hurt the fair No
doubt there are people who will not visit
the fair on account of its being kept open on
Sundays, and a few exhibits may be with
drawn by those who believe in the strict
est kind of Sunday observance, but a
thousand will visit the fair on Sundays
who would not have visited it on other
days for every one who will remain away
from it altogether because of the open
Sunday feature. The fair, therefore,
will be a great gamer by the decision
from financial standpoint
It is safe to say that large majority
of the people of the country favor open
ing the fair on Sunday. A portion of
these have no convictions relative to Sun
day observance and another but larger
portion, while they have a high regard
for Sunday and insist upon its observance,
see no harm in permitting visitors to see
the fair on Sundays.
The strict observers of Sunday are
strong in numbers and are influential in
almost every community. They will not
accept their failure to have the fair closed
on Sundays with good grace. They be-
lieve that opening the fair on Sundays
will have the effect Of lessening the re-
spect felt for Sunday, and that in future
it will be more difficult to
enforce proper observance of that day
They are right to the extent that the
effect will be to strengthen the sentiment
in favor of a freer Sunday, but it is doubt
full if people will be less religious, less
moral, or have less respect for Sunday
on that account.

Slow Education.

The steamboat engineer. was polite and at
tentive says It'd Bits It may be that he was
fiattered by the fact that lady so impressive
in her manner should have come to him for
information. At any rate he told her "all
about it''-iust where the steam came into the
cylinder, where it escaped and how it was
that the piSton-rod attached to the crank
turned the wheels that propelled the little
vessel through the waves.
She appeared to be wrapt up in the informa-
ton and when he had finished she turned a
beaming face upon him and said Now tell
me what is the object of the boiler?"

The Infanta Eulalie of Spain is no
longer visiting this country. She has
disappeared. In her place, however, the
Duchess de Montpensier has appeared in
the position of a private tourist. The
identity of the princess and the duchess
is the same, of course; but that is what
royalty calls travelling in incognito Her
husband, by the way, will not need to as
sumo another name; nobody knows or
thinks much about him, any way.

Notwithstanding the decision of the
Presbyterian general assembly in the case
OF Prof Briggs, the directors of the Union
Theological Seminary have voted unani-

rectors also decided to make special pro-
visions that none of the students of Union
seminary shall suffer from the restrictions
which have been put upon the Presby-
terrain board of instruction by the general
assembly. But a director declined to

1t appears that the report of few DAYS
ago, to the effect that the Chinese gov
ernmtent had cut off the importation of
American petroleum into China in retail
alton for the Geary act, and would cut off
some other article of American commerce
for each Chinaman deported under the
law, was just shade better than
fake" The shipment of kerosene to
China has been prohibited, it is true: but
the order of prohibition was issued four
teen years ago. And so far from its hav-
ing been issued as a retaiatory measure
against America, it appears that it was
nothing more nor less than a Chinese APP
plication of what we now call Mckinley
ISM to a celestial ''infant industry 1t
was found that the bean oil of China
could not compete with the 'pauperr
petroleum of America, which could be
produced and transported to China for
much lower price than the natives could
afford to produce bean oil for. hence the
application of protection. Then, again,
the Chinese authorities, considering the
highly inhammable material of which
Chinese houses are constructed, were
fearful lest the handling of kerosene
would result in some terrible confiagra-
ton. But protection, of stripe that
should delight the heart of Nelson
Aldrich, is responsible for the exclusion
of petroleum from China.

The Barney Stone at ohioaeo.

The unwilling of the "true and only
original Barney stone at the worlds
fair is a matter of importance to the peo-
pie generally, and to Chicago especially.
For it is fetching bid for worlds fair
patronage. Who, with the price of an
excursion ticket to Chicago in his or her
pocket, will be able to resist the desire
to kiss the famous stone and acquire
thereby the gift of smooth, sweet, win
ming speech7 Not soul, of course. From
Key West to Sitka, and from Bangor to
the Golden Gate, the drawing powers Of
the Barney stone will be effective, as the
railroad receipts may show later
In its original place, in old Blarney
castle, near Cork, the stone was difficult
of access. Only the most daring young
man attempted to scale the walls of the
ruins in order to press his lips to its sur
face. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that in
Chicago it has been placed quite as far
out of the reach of the masses, otherwise
disastrous results might follow Not to
mention the horrid things the doctors
tell us about disease germs being trans
mitted through kissing-and the surface
of the stone probably offers good de-
pository for the wriggling, horned little
demons-iust think how tiresome it would
grow, after awhile, to hear those who
had visited Chicago talk nothing but
barney from morning till night.
And again, if the Blarney stone were
put in easy reach, every one of those i'm
Fortunate Chicago drummers would go
out and kiss it. 1t would be of advantage
to them in their business, you know; talk
ing sausage, and ribs, and picked tripe,
and axle grease, etc. They might then
be able to ''selP' every man they talked
to, with the result that the whole business
community woald have to make an as
signment in Chicago's favor, to settle for
mpaid-for stock With the Barney
stone out of handy reach, however, there
would be no danger of any such posi-
bility. Chicago drummers are proverb-
tally fat and lazy and would prefer de-
pending upon their native gall to climb
ing stone wall, even if an increased
gift of the CAB awaited them at the top
of it.

municatiOns had passed between the British
and Canadian authorities in recent years in
regard to the importance of the Hawaiian
Islands as possible station in connection
with the telegraplic service and the Can
adian interests which were involved in the
independence Of that country. Respecting
the recent movement there no correspond
ence had passed between Canada and her
Meiesty's Government, partly because the
latter was well aware of the Importance of
the interests involved, and partly because,
as he had reason to understand, ber
Majesty's Government was alive to the i'm
portanee of the matter as regarded Canadian
and other interests of the empire in those
islands.
LONDON. Feb. IN. VarignY, who was
Minister in Hawaii in the time Of Kalakaua,
writes of the present trouble to the Times
THAI the baneful effects of the Mckinley
tariff are mainly responsible for the desire
of Hawaii TO be annexed to America. he
recalls the refusal OF the United States to
join the Anglo French protocol Of 1876 to
uphold the autonomy of the Sandwich
Islands, although the Washington Govern
ment at that time declared s0emnly that 1t
would ALWAYS respect their independence.
In view Of this declaration Varigny thinks
the islands viii not lie annexed

Special to THE MORNING CALL.

New York, Feb. 1.-Mr. Cleveland found
another large crop Of callers on hand when
he arrived at the Mills building from Lake
wood this morning. Congressman Breckin-
ridge of Kentucky occupied considerable
OF the time of the President-elect. aud gave
him grist OF gossip and news from Wash
ington Breckinridge tried to draw Cleve-
land out on the subject of his intentions re-
parding Judge Gresham, hut the Pres dent
elect was afflicted with a fit of reticence,
and the Kentuckan made poor headway.
The mystery Of Dickinson and Gresham
continued to puzzle the Democratic prophets
to-day, but many of the most thoughtful
among them coincided in the belief that the
game which Gresham was after was the
vacancy on the United States Supreme
Bench. caused by the death of Lamar
Clevelend could not be induced to speak
about the subject. There was growing
impression here to-day that President Har-
risOn would nominate Judge Nathan Golf OF
West Virginia tor the vacant JusticeshiD,
and that if this should prove true no
amount of intrigue On the part of Cleve-
land, Gresham and their abettors would
prevent Goff's confirmation.
