ly of Banking Affairs.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Accordipg to
the treasury authorities the past week
has witnessed a further improvement
in banking circles throughout the coun-
try and growing confidence among
tfe people in regard to financial condi-
tioas. Figures in the office of the comp
troller OF the currency show that
while seventy-two national banks sus-
pended in July only thirty-one closed
their doors during the month of Au-
gust, now nearly ended. During the
first week of this month there were
thirteen suspensions; during the second
week the number was reduced to seven;
last week eight national banks sus-
pended, and during the week just
ended only three were closed During
July nine banks that had closed their
doors resumed, and up To date shis
month seventeen have reopened. Comp
troller Eckels thinEs that very few
failures may now be expected, and that
a large ma ority of the banks still sus-
pended will soon resume business.

NAVY WITHOUT MEN.
New War Ships VIII Be I'm
manned.

Building a lot of new ships and
providing for no men to man them,"
says an irate old admiral in the
Boston Transcript. "What is Con-
gress thinking of ? Doesn't it know
that new ships must mean new
men, and does it propose to wait
until we have a lot of ships with
out an experienced man-o'-wars-
man to put into them? You can't
make a sailor in a week, and it
takes years to make an efficient
man-o'wars-man. If we are to have
new navy, and God knows we
need one bad enough, Congress
should at once provide for the nee
essary personnel by having an in
creased force on the ships now in
commission that could be prepared
to man the new ships as they are
finished. The $500 men allowed
for the navy by existing law will
not begin to furnish crews for the
new vessels. Double that number at
least must be provided for, and I'M
less something is done now we will
have the edifying spectacle of a lot
of fresh-water recruits as seamen on
our new boats. Then, too, in case
of riots, a strong contingent of
sailors would be found invaluable.
Jack Tar is an Arab, sir; he is
Bedouinl He is ready to fight any
where and at any time, and espe-
cially on shore. He has no affilia-
ton with landsmen; no wife and
no children to shoot; you need
simply to tell him to shoot, and
bang she goes. The regular sol
diers, though, are a part of the
people, not as much, of course, as
militia, but they are a part just
the same. Jack Tar is a part of
nothing but his ship, and he stands
ready to pump it into mob at the
drop of handkerchief. The ma
rines, too, are not far behind him.
Why, sir, they are the finest body
Of troops in existence (mind you,
[ said troops), and had it not been
for old Colonel Haywood with his
battalion of marines Baltimore
would have been laid in ashes, sir,
when it had that nasty riot"
1t is understood that commits
sion, to consist of members of both
houses of Congress, will shortly be
appointed to consider this subject.

COWARDLY COUNSELS.

Very naturally the Evening Post
argues against the annexation OF
the Hawaiian Islands. That Mug
wump organ is always opposed to
any policy or procedure which ex-
presses the American national SEN
timent and tends to strengthen it.
The main ground of this Mug
wump's opposition is that by listen
ing to the Hawaiians and taking
the Sandwich Islands into our po-
litic&l system we should provoke
foreign discomfort and jealousy.
1T is not likely that any power
would do more than protest against
our annexing the islands" says the
Evening Post. Yet the good will
of foreign powers is itself a valua-
bic possession, and should be taken
into account in every transaction
of magnitude"
If the American people had lis
tened to such cowardly counsels in
the past, the United States would
now be a dependency of Great Brit
ain. From the foundation of this
republic until now we have had to
get along without the good will of
England. Because of England 8
i'll will we have had to fight two
wars with that foreign power We
had to contend against it during our
civil war, and the whole history OF
the United States has been marked
by diplomatic controversies to
which it gave rise.
The respect rather than the good
will of foreign powers is what we
want. Whether they like our
way of proceeding in the develop
ment Of the strength and domin-
ance of this republic in America is
a matter of no account. We must
pursue our natural career as it
seems best to us; and the greater
our courage and determination in
the pursuit the less probable is it
that they will undertake to inter
fere with US.
The question of the annexation
Of the Hawaiian Islands is purely
an American question, and the SEN
timent of foreign powers regarding
it, whether of good will or i'll will,
does not concern us, and cannot in
fuence the decision to which we
shall come. Only an exhibition OF
such timidity as the Evening Post
displays could induce them to run
the risk of serious opposition
