THOSE UNDUE INFLrENCEs.

In our editorial of the 26th. under the
heading Improper Influence Of Leglsla-
tors" we feel assured that we have I'M
Intentionally misrepresented the subordi-
nate railroad official referred to. We are
assured that not only We're the funds
which had been committed to his charge
disposed Of in accordance with instruc-
tons from his superiors, but that there
was express direction not to interfere
with the canvass for the senatorship.
The circumstances which led TO the ar
ticle have in their main points been fully
explained, and the rebuttal has been sup
ported by written evidence from the nigh
est source.
The intimation I'm our article that money
had been withheld, we think, may be so
construed as to do the gentleman referred
to great injustice. and we desire to say
that the only way 10 set that entirely
right under all the circumstances is to
withdraw it entirely. DN

So sang the poet but we sing: What
care we how fair she be, If she be out
OF fashion," And we make no excuse
for her, either. She who is out of fash
ion now is like that proverbial repre-
sentative of femlninity who aims at the
stone wall and always succeeds in miss
ing it. The fashionable woman, who is
less expert at throwing stones than at
throwing gowns together. can scarce miss
the styles i'm this season Of limitless
choice. There was no help for her last
season If those broad effects were not
becoming. But now she may fly to
close-htting princesses or tailor gowns, or

We also see evidence that business ~

cial Chronicle states that the railroad

most healthful and hopeful statement
and, coupled with other indications tna' we
see. looks as though business were MAX
ing a real start.
But there is one discouraging feature III
the situation. the importance OF whlch we
are not able to fully estimate and that is
one which is generally referred TO win
pride. We refer to the abnormal accuinu-
lations Of money in the New YORK panks'
Last weeks bank statement SHOWS tha'

their reserve The capital and present de-
posts Of the New York banks are now
more than $5O0,0O0Oo0. Their reserve is
therefore at this time more than Sl25,WOOoO.
They have therefore about s2OO,COOOO OF
money lying idle in their vaults which no
one seems to want. This is about one
eighth of our entire currency. anc OF
course a very large sum is lying idle In
the other banks Of the country. This
might mean that the business Of the coun-
try has no need for the money Of the
country. which, of course, would be bad
fact
1t may be, however and probably is the
case. that timidity and damaged conf
dence have more to do with these accumu-
Iatons of money tLan absence Of demand
for it. But whatever may be the view
taken of the situation all may thank heav-
en- that we are back again at last upon a
granite foundation. and such structure as
we may hereafter build will be as solid
as the granite itself. The wild man,
whether he be named Silverite or Populist,

Of debts due, and hope rule the day and
will have command for a long time TO

WAS IT TARIFF REPEAL? Is PROS
PERITY COMING?

1t is simply preposterous for Messrs.
Mckinley and Reed to ascribe the late
panic TO anticipated tariff reductions as
they did a few nights back in their
speeches in Boston. Tariff reduction was
assured by the result Of the election in
November. 1892. From that time forward
those who would be affected by tariff re-
duction conformed their business, no
doubt, to anticipations of it. But who were
they? They were manufacturers and i'm
porters only. Manufacturers have no
doubt produced nothing since that time
for which they could not see an immediate
market. and the same is true of import
ers. But manufacturers have. notwith-
standing anticipated reductions in the
tariff, continued to produce all they could
see an immediate sale for, and importers
have continued TO import all they could
at once dispose of. All the speculative
elements of these two businesses have no
doubt been suspended for eight or len
months. But they have gone on Just as
of old with that part of their business
which consisted Of receiving and filling
orders. Beyond this, anticipated tariff
reduction has had no influence on bust
ness. and the persons affected by 1t are
as one IN one thousand. The great body
OF the people are unaffected by it. 1t is as
vain. therefore. 10 attribute the panic TO
anticipated tariff changes as it would be

Mount Vesuvius.
II is only a willful closing OF the eyes.
therefore. TO plain and obvious facts which
the panic was caused by the insidious
operation on confidence of a debased dol
las aid this fact has fortunately burnt
itself deep into the minds OF the people
Of the United States. so that maudlin and
pueriie utterances like McKinley's and
Reeds will pass off the public mind as
snow leaves the roof under the influence
Of the sun.
But question OF far greater Importance
than speculation as TO the cause OF the
panic is inquiry as TO when will prosper

CoNFEDERArEs AT GETTYSBURG.

The Times, when intending TO refer 10
a Confederate sentiment, has frequently
said, THE men who were at Gettysburg
would not have done so and So" We have
been asked whether we drew any distinc-
ton between the Confederate soldiers who
fought at Gettysburg and the Confederate
soldiers who fought anywhere else The
question surprised us, because We do not
understand how distinctions could possi
bly, be drawn amongst Confederate sol
diers except upon the line of soldiers on
one side, and skulkers and deserters on
the other. OF course. we have never had
any idea of intimating that the Confede-
rate soldiers who were at Gettysburg
were, in any sort of respect the superlors
OF the Confederate soldiers who were any
where else at the time that battle was
fought We refer TO Gettysburg as typi-
cal Gettysburg was the elimination M
the Confederacy's cause. There she put
out her best efforts, and there that best
effort failed. We refer to the men who
fought at Gettysburg as typical Of the
Confederate sentiment and cause. II was
a glorious host that fought there. and II
is lit to be named with the best soldiers
that were ever commanded by Caesar
Hannibal or Napoleon. 1t may hold up
us head In any assemblage Of the world
past, present. or future II deserved well

body OF Confederate soldiers. but to show
how splendid the Confederate soldier was

Our city is environed by some OF the
best springs in the country. The value
Of many OF these having been frequently
spoken Of. and their merit being under
discussion, a reporter OF The Times, In
the interest Of health and public safety,
called upon Or. Henry Froehling. the
well-known consulting and analytical
chemist. last Saturday, and he stated TO
the scribe that he had examined the
waters Of several springs around the city,
and had found the FOnticello Dithia
Water absolutely free from all organic
impurities. and considered IL perfectly
pure. LAS an unquestionable proof OF
my faith in the water" continued the ac-
complshed chemist II use II altogether"
The Doctor. in reply to questions, stat
ed that he had made preliminary exami-
nations of the waters OF the various
springs at Forest Hill Park, including the
one supposed to contain lithia, and found
them infected with organic impurities.
but was OF the opinion that II they could
be freed from local combinations, they
would probably be NJ for use. He spoke
OF the waters of several other springs
near Richmond. and showed himself TO
be thoroughly familiar with the respective
merits OF them all.
DR.. Froehling is making a geological

A HefuOu6 Crime.

HARTFORD, Aug. 11.-Proceedings were begun to day against Frederick 0. L. Baker, ffty-two years of age, 8 well to do pro- prietor of the brick yard in Windsor, just over the Hartford line. He is charged with incestous Intercourse with his daugh- ter, Florina A. Baker, eighteen years old. The girls statement is that her father be- gan his unnatural conduct on Columbus day, October 19, 1892, during the absence of her mother. The offense has been re- peated at intervals, the man accomplishing his purpose by threatening his daughter 8 life. She is soon to become mother. Last week the girl told her mother of her fathers horrible conduct, and they con- suited Lawyer John P. Healy of this city. He went to interview Baker, who jumped from window and ran away. Informa- ton was laid before Grand Juror George R. Meade of Windsor and Justice of the Peace George H. Albee issued warrant for Bakers arrest. Constable German Shan hon is now hunting for Baker, who has disappeared. Mrs. Baker has attached her husbands property for s10,000 in a suit for absolute divorce.

THE SILVER QUESTION.

Senator Platt Home-His Views on
 the Subject.
 MKRIDEE, Aug. 11.-Senator Platt ar rived at his home here from Washington to-day. He will return Monday. Regard ing the situation in congress he said to a Journal reporter that 1t is impossible to hazard reasonable guess when the final vote on the silver repeal bill will bs reached in the house. In the senate he said 1t looked as if the democrats would keep on adjourning until some agreement is reached by them as to their final action.
 MT. Platt says that he will vote for re- peal even if he knew no other legislation would be enacted this session, although he thinks there is urgent need of immediate legislation after repeal.
 With reference to the 24 to 1 coinage proposition, Mir. Platt said that even If a silver dollar were made equal to a gold dol lar he did not think that would be a per manent solution of the silver question.
 AN INQUIRY.
 NEW HAVEN, Aug. Il, '93. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 l read in this mo 'ning's COURIER of 8 "Petition to Congress" which is being signed by many, for the appointment of "an expert commission to consider and recommend a scientific plan of currency based on the experience of other coun- trles," etc.
 We'll, now, has not this country had some valuable experience during the last 100 years which should not be ignored ? Some of 1t no one cares to have repeated, viz, the experience with the old conti- mental money, and later that with some of our own stste banks, which were in operation during the ffties, and whose issues in times of panic became as worthless as 30 much old rags. Then we have the later experience of our national banks, which may be studied with great profit, as 1t is universally conceded that this system has features of great merit, and their issues are as good as gold in any part of the country. If 1t is meant that ssthe experience of this and other coun- tries" should be considered, the reading should be changed.
