The most sensational report of the
week" says the Iron Trades, yesterday,
"is that relating to the placing of an or
der for three armored cruisers by the
Russian Government. The reports,
which are as yet unconfirmed, have it
that the Cramps have captured the work,
and that the Bethlehem Iron Company
have secured the order for the armor.
That both shipbuilders and armor plate
makers have had negotiations of this
character under way is beyond any
doubt The reported success of the nego-
tiations is certainly flattering tribute
to the ability of our yards and shops,
and proves their capacity to compete
with the Europeans in this particular
line of work.

The utter barbarity of Chinese meth
ods of warfare could not be more clearly
signified than in the language of the
chief magistrate of Tien Tsin to mem
bers of the Red Cross Society who wish
ed to go to the army: 1--WE do not want
to save any wounded Chinese" he said.
And it is this barbarous Nation that
England, with the aid of the Cleveland
Administration, has been endeavoring to
save from subsection at the hands of the
humane and civilized Japanese!

ANicaraeua Canal RIu

1t may strike some people as strange
thing that the Vermont Legislature
should be engaged in the consideration
of bill for the granting of a charter to
build Nicaragua canal, but this is ex-
planned by the fact that more favorable
charter can be obtained in this state than
elsewhere. There was hearing last
week before the committee having this
in charge, and among the speakers was

We are in receipt of a large roll of pa
pers from Hawaii, through the courtesy
of Mr.. Olds. Like our whilom CORE
spondent in those Islands, these papers
are red hot royalist," they talk of a
flake Republic" flake election" etc.
Now, we have no time to read this lot of
literature, and, moreover, find in the
few copies we have examined, that the
royalists lie worse than the Democracy
before our election did as to the cause
of hard times. Meantime it is enough
for us to know that the Republican tidal
wave struck Hawaii too, for the anne1a-
ton party carried everything before it.
Clevelandism and Greshamism are evi
IDENTITY as hateful there as in the United
States.

1t is the Democratic New York Sun
that gravely suggests the reason for the

starch enough left in the Administra-

Kentucky came within one OF coming
into the Republican fold also. The Dem
ocratic majority in the State in the Con-
gressiOnal election as compiled by the
Secretary of State is 2,173. This is a
falling off in the Democratic vote of 5O,-
52S. This is not taking into considera-
tion that 5000 votes given Keys (Pop),
in the First District, were Republican.

serves me rightly, John Pratt of your

there. The reunion was the first one I
ever attended, and being there as a re-

number of times after that in my bush
ness as news gatherer, and once dined
with him at what was then the Gates

resembles the father in many respects,

able to relate as good story as the old
gentleman who is so kindly remembered
by me.
1t has been my good fortune to meet
many newspaper men, not only of Yer

them have fresher place in my memo
ry than has j. Halsey Cushman. That
the son may make as many true friends
as did the father, is the heartfelt wish of

What the Press Thinks OF It-Eot General
" Well ReesIVod-To Break Down Ma.
tionRI Banks.
Se,s York Tribuae. tRepJ
The much.heralded proposal to re-
construct the currency proves. upon ex-
animation, to be little better than a
thinly disguised plan to revive the old
Democratic state bank system. Accord
ing to the Presidents recommendation,
both state aud national banks are to be
allowed 70 Issue notes without deposits
Of bonds, TO an amount not exceeding
IS per cent Of their capital, upon de-
posting rs 4 guarantee fund IN legal
tender or new treasury notes 81 per
cent OF their circulation, and making
their liabilities on notes first lien
upon their assets. with individual
liability OF stockholders. But the Presi-
dents statement does not provide for
state banks the tax OF half Of per cent
for q safety fund. or the other tax Of
half OF per cent forexpenses and official
supervision, which it requires OF nation
al banks, and theSe two items
would make q difference OF per cent in
profits on circulation in favor OF state
banks. Nor does the Presidents scheme
restrict state bank issues to notes OF $40
or over, which restriction would 90 far
TO render national bank circulation un.
profitable. Moreover, all national
banks are to be subject to assessments
pro rata in case one OF them fails and
its guarantee fund does not meet its
note liability, risk which would prove
extremely dangerous, but no such pro-
vision is proposed as TO state banks. It
may be that the President has not fully
or carefully set forth the plan he iayors,
but it differs in essential points, and in
the wrong direction, from either the
baltimore plan or the one proposed by
Mr.. Rhodes, retaining all the defects OF
either, and seems expressly intended to
break down national banks and substi-
tute Democratic state banking by a
serreptitious process.

VIII Satisfy Nobody.

Ee,u IorE Herald, DEAL
The proposition Is to do away with
government bonds as security for circu-
lation and permit the. banks to issue
notes up to seventy-fye per cent OF
their capital, provided they deposit with
the treasury legal tenders equal in
amount to thirty per cent OF the notes
they desire to issue. 1t is also proposed
to exempt state banks from the govern
ment tax and let them issue notes on
the same terms; and it is further pro
vided that none OF the bank notes shall
be OF smaller denomination than ten
dollars. This is presumably intended
to make greater space for silver dollars
or silver certificates.
We fail to see how such ascheme as that
would take the government out OF the
banking business: The treasury would
continue to provide all the smaller cir
culating notes and the banks would
provide the larger ones. The bulk oil
the annoying legal tenders would re-
main to be used in drawing gold out OF
the treasury every time it was needed
for boarding or export, as at present.

circulation allowed under this scheme
the amount would be three hundred
aud ten millions las against existing
circulation Of two hundred and seven
millions), and the'proposed deposit OF
thirty per cent in legal tenders would
take up little more than thirty millions
OF them, leaving four hundred and fifty
millions outstanding to play the mis-
chief, as at present, with the treasury's
gold. Even, the small amount taken up
for deposit would not be cancelled.
This plan, then, neither divorces the
government from banking nor retires
the legal tenders.
To permit the issue OF notes by both
state and national banks would insti-
tute two systems with conflict OF iuris-
diction. In case banks condition be-
came questionable it is easy to conceive
what might happen with two sets OF ex-
aminers and the question pending
whether the state or federal authorities
should take possession OF the assets:
Mr.. Carlisle appears to have endeavored
to make some concessions to each and
every one OF the groups in Congress.
Those OF the west and south who de-
mand state bank circulation lie would
conciIia,s by granting this privilege. but

banking business or protect the gold

One Way to Garry Elections.

Ihe way ~ NAasS
One Of the witnesses before the I1exow
committee tells q story which shows
one Of the ways in which Tammany
managed to hold on through SO many
wears and why that corrupt organization
was so hard to dislodge. This man was
induced to register four times falsely,
that is to say under assumed names.
He was entitled to one vote aud he was
10 get in five. Other men did the same
thing. The price was from fifty cents to
a dollar for each false registration.
A political organization that can
multiply by five any considerable part
OF its normal voting strength has a
pretty good start in an election. Add
to that Tamnany's immense standing
army of regulars. tho retainers who
lived on its bounty, and the respectable
men who voted for Tammany's nomi-
nees because they were on the Demo-
cratic ticket, and it is little less than a
marvel that it was routed.
Ii the Lexow committee had not
opened the eyes of the people and vir.
tualty paralyzed Tammany before the
election came on. the plundering gang
would have carried the recent election
as it has been carrying others for all
these years.

Emperor William in opening the

reforms, the principle OF which is a
measure to increase taxation. This
will not impress favorably people
already heavily burdened and trying

The programme will be resisted by

The friendly New York Evening Post
is OF the opinion that if the President
had hit the sugar trust in his letter to
Mr.. Wilson as he has in his message,
his advice might have amounted to
more.
The Evening Post should remember
that an election was near at hand when
the Wilson letter was written, and in
the campaign of 1892 the sugar trust
gave largely-hnif a million is said to
be the amount-to the Democratic cam
paign fund. The President may have
desired to keep the trust sweet for the
approaching campaign.
At that time the President thought
the trust and its treatment "a delicate
subject" 1t is less delicate now that
the election is past and the Presidents
party routed. Should not due allow

ditions?

the need OF eternal vigilance against the
disreputable. have organized the Cen
eral Council OF Building and Loan Asso'
Citations of Pennsylvania.
An effort will be made at the coming
session OF the legislature to have Gre
ated a department which shall super
wise all associations OF the kind doing
business in the state. The chief trouble
has been with concerns chartered by
other states, but the aim is to place all
on an equal footing in this respect, and
to subject all to such examination and
oversight as the law provides for banks.
A like provision should be made in
Wet Virginia, SO that the people may
have some reasonable assurance that
their confidence will not be abused.
Building and loan associations have so
much of good in them that their USE
