WHEELING, AUGUST %, lsOa.
Senator HiIl's High.Jinlks,

Assuming that David b. Hill is sane,
his performance in the senate is the
most remarkable performance in that
body in recent years. II he has two
ideas above huckleberry he under
stands what is going on in financial cir
Giles in New York, why the national
banks of that city have pursued the
course they have and what would have
happened, probably, if they had gone
some other way.
Whether tho use OF clearing house
certificates is technical violation OF
law IS not great matter in dry time.
Those certificates are used by the banks
among themselves and represent the
combined strength of the banks backed
in addition by the deposit Of collateral
Valued at one-t third more than the face
of the certificate. Business done on
this basis is on rock bottom unless
the whole country is going to pot.
It Is true that the cash reserve is not
Zip to tho mark, but business is done
with less cash than before and business
men by common consent nave thought
it better to get along this way than tc
anticipate Senator Hill in kicking up Q
row. Conditions being unusual and
the banks being solid beyond question
the treasury department has been wise
enough not to seek places whore the
screws OF the law could be turned down
on mere technicality.
Violation OF law by the national
banks OF New York is not what is wor-
rying Senator Hill. He is dwelling on
another matter, and that has driven
him mad. TO go with President Glove
land on the money question is to be
overshadowed by him. To be conspicr
uous Senator Hill must strike out in
another direction-and take service
under the banner OF the whiskered
PETER.
With Senator Hill tho consideration
runs on the line OF personal politics
with tho presidency looming up big
and grand within view OF tho naked
eye. In 1902 Mr.. Hill was not big
enough to command his party's nomiua
ton. BY 1896 ho will be too small tc
find. He is male edition Of The
Vanishing Lady.

Conduit stand 1t Now.

The ways and means committee gets
advice from the New York World, which
reminds those statesmen that "the
work of the extra session is the repeal
of tho Sherman law. That Should not
DO complicated with the tariff or any
thing else"
Tho committee, the World thinks,
should go quietly to work framing a
bill" on Democratic lines and "sparo the
business Of tho country M additional
disturbance which 1t can hardly stand
under existing conditions" That is To
say, tho country can't stand being re.
formed now, but in few months, after
business has picked up, tho Juggornaut
car Of tariff reform may be let loose on
the down grade.
This Is odd advice from Democratic
source. Isn't it the Democratic doc
trine that the worse the business OF the
country tho more need OF tariff re-
form"P
