Accredited with the possession Of alb
normal shrewdness and occasionally giving
evidence Of cleverness, the bankers of New
York are in danger Of losing their reputa-
ton for financial wisdom. Yesterday there
was a conference between Secretary Car
Isle and some Of Gotham's money kings;
and these latter-apparently unaware of
much public sentiment adverse to them
selves-expressed themselves as being far
from anxious to subscribe for the bonds
which the Treasury Department is about
to issue. The bankers declared their con-
fdence as to the legality of the Secretary's
action in proffering the securities. but OBJ
jected to taking them because the Secre-
tary's terms demand more money than the
bankers care to invest in an operation
which does not promise to be phenomenally
profitable; a straight three per cent bond
would be preferable in every respect, they
say. The hypercritical financiers had better
accept the situation and the bonds. Con-
gress Is in no mood to be conciliatory: 1t
may even repeal the law under which the
Secretary expects to make the issue or il
may legislate in favor of coming the
seigniorage OF silver In the treasury vaults.
There are times when the men whose
wealth has been acquired here may reason
ably be called upon to be grateful for the
opportunities afforded them; such a season
IS now with US. and IL the complaining
bankers are really wise they will not pro-
woke legislative and popular antagonism-

Live with wolves and you will learn to
howl Is the old Spanish way of calling at
tention to the effect of example, and ex-
ample has been exercising such potent in
fuence of late in our diplomatic affairs as
to demand much more of attention than
has been given it. The most recent candi-
cate for comment is Henry VI. Smythe,
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo-
tertiary from the United States to Haiti.
Information received from the charcoal
republic Is to the effect that Minister
Smythe has suggested to President Hyppo-
lite that the Hyppolitish methods of run
ming the Haitian government do not har-
monte with the ideas which Minister
Smythe succeeded in formulating during a
lifelong residence in a little village in
Tazeweli county. Virginia, and that unless
the black president Immediately instituted
several of the indicated reforms there was
possibility of disagreement between the two
powers. 1t is represented that some of the
prominent officials in our foreign Office
are much disturbed over what they regard
as the unwarranted interference by our
minister; they have even declared-so far
as State Department official ever declares
snything-that Minister Smythe is in immi-
nent danger of losing his job. The conclu-
sion reached by these estimable clerks is
surely unjust; and should the sacrifice be
made. Minister Smythe's Tazewell county
friends will have ample reason for insisting

mlnlstration effort to re-enthrone Mrs.
Dominis, late Queen of the Hawaiian
Islands. Encouraged. doubtless. by the no.
torlety achieved by Albert. and anxious to
get his name in some of the large daily
papers, Henry thought it his duty to advise
the Haitian government Of his inability to

Admiral Benham deserves a national vote
OF thanks. To be sure he did nothing more
than his duty, but even that is less than
many United States officers dare do, be-
cause they generally become involved with
the cold-blooded authorities, who sit in
judgment on those compelled by emergency
to decide important questions in a hurry
The most interesting dispatches received
recently from Rio are those which describe
how the admiral compelled Da CANA to
respect the Stars and Stripes. In lombard
ing Rio the insurgents have been worse
than careless as to the safety of American
merchant vessels that had business in the
most important of Brazilian ports and I'D
to the day when Admiral Benham right
eously interfered no generally known effort
was made to give American ship-captains
the Immunity from danger to which they
we're clearly entitled. After awhile some
of the sneering little nations of earth will
awaken to the fact that the American flag
really means something.

The contributions made I'm response 70 tn,

10 The contributions made In response TO the
appeals Of the committee appointed to can
lrass the city constitute what would be re-
garded in ordinary times. when the demand
for relief Is that usual every year at this
season, as a handsome sum raised by vol
untary effort of citizens. The sum so far
raised. however, and the estimates based
thereon fall far below what was hoped to
be accomplished by thorough canvass Of
the city. and far short Of meeting the de-
mands made upon the relief committee.
Those who have given have given gener-
ously and should receive all honor for it.
1t Is hoped that the many who have been
applied to and who, for one reason or an
other, have not given will see good cause for
reconsideration and for sending to the COM
mittee contribution a notice that they
will contribute IL called upon again. So
great was the distress among the unem-
ployed of this city. and so much publicity
had been given to their condition, that it
was believed that in every house where
poverty was not known. in every home en-
joying the blessings of employment and a
steady income, an inclination would be
found to make some small sacrifice to help
tide over the season of their greatest suf-
fering the thousands now in want. This
expectation. however, has been disappointed.
Many have offered as an excuse for
not contributing that they have already
given through ether channels, and some, 1t
II believed. have withheld their contribu-
tons because they were able to give but
little and did not think that little would
be worth giving. 1t Is a time when those
who have given should give again, if they
are able. and when all should give. no mat
ter IL the amount seems trifiing. A dime
will buy two loaves of bread. A new ap-
peal has been addressed to the department
clerks by the committee. Unfortunately
for the cause of the poor the heads of the
departments believed 1t In the interest of
good administration to decline to permit a
canvass to be made in the departments by
members Of the committee, and thus de-
prived the committee Of opportunity of
making a direct personal appeal to mem
bers OF that class of citizens who have
regular incomes. and who have always re-
Fponded generously to such appeals. A
very small contribution from each Of the
thousands of the government employees in
the city would make in the aggregate a
sum that would save hundreds Of families
from suffering.

The managers of the trolley railroads in
Brooklyn, in their conference with the
mayor respecting the rate of speed at which
the trolley cars are run, sought to place the
responsibility on the motormen sfor the Of
fences committed against the city ordin-
ances. The motormen, 1t seems, are called
on to make a certain number of trips in
given time and 1T does not require a very
high mathematical education for a motor
man to discover that ne has to let his car
go at a pretty rapid rate in order to get
in at the end of the line on schedule time
The company and not the motorman is re-
sponsible. 1t would not be hard to secure
a set of motormen who would be perfectly
willing to run at the rate of a mile an hour
or even at slower rate IL that was what
the company wanted. A movement made
against the motormen seems to possess
many elements of injustice. If Brooklyn
tolerates the trolley, certainly the city
should not permit the trolley companies to
shift any of the responsibilities belonging
to them upon the shoulders of their poor
employees.

Senator Kyle may not be personally ac-
countable for the curious measure which
he presented to the Senate yesterday, but
he will nevertheless get credit for some of
its peculiarities. The bill is supposed to be
designed to reform the morals Of the naval,
military and civil service of the govern
ment, by making intemperance a cause for
instant dismissal. The bill defines an in
temperate person, who must be expelled
from office, as one who has been intoxicat-
ed within twelve months. Without discuss
ing the wisdom or the expediency of such
a law, it might be remarked that there
really should be some provision attached
to the bill giving the present force a chance
to reform The bill ought not to be made
completely and instantly retroactive. Ii
should be furnished with a proviso that it
take effect one year from the date of pas
sage. so that every military. naval and civil
officer Of the government might start
square with clean record, within the
meaning of the law. OF course. in the per-
fecting process that the bill Will probably
undergo in the military committee of the
Senate. proper attention will be paid to the
matter of the post exchange. alias the
"canteen," which has become such an i'm
portant element in the lives of the enlisted
be considered worthy of notice. Then, too,
the bill might be referred to the committee
on naval affairs to be touched up to rem
der it effective SO far as the messes of the
officers on board ship are concerned. Some
interesting experiments might be tried with
moral menus. Then the bill should be passed
over to the committee on public build
ings and grounds to be discussed with
reference to it's relation to the restaurants
of the Senate and House, which now serve
just a little of that which sometimes both
cheers and inebriates. AS Congressman
are members of the civil service of the
government, though fortunately they DO
not have to pass examinations, they will
necessarily fall under the provisions of The
act, and the question as to just how far 1t
interferes with their prerogatives will be
interesting; perhaps the committee on
privileges and elections will want a hand in
the game. for this purpose. Maybe the bill
will become law. Maybe 1t will not. At
all events. it ought to give everybody fair
warning and let bygones be bygones.
