PROTECTION.

The action of Admiral Ben am in
the harbor of Rio in using force in
protecting American commerce will be
applauded in all portions of the ceun
try, and Americans will feel just
pride in their navy as we'll as their
army. 1t was an act which, in itself,
was not Indicative of any great hero
ism; but as illustrative of the fact that
the shipping of this republic must be
respected by belligerent powers, is
worthy of all the praise that it will
receive.
The dispatches are somewhat unsat.
isfactory regarding the details of the
incident which called forth the deter
mined action of the American admiral,
but sufficient is known to justify him
in the eyes of his countrymen. 1t
had been noted heretofore, on the part
of the government and insurgent forces
in Brazil, that more respect had been
paid to English and German shipping
than to American vessels, and the
commerce of the former nations was
not annoyed nearly as much as that of
the latter. This was very likely
caused by the attitude assumed by the
fleets of these European countries, and
from the usual prompt manner in
which they protected the ships of their
nations. But this has not been true
heretofore of the fleet OF the United
States, and the admiral usually waited
until instructions we're received from
the secretary of the navy in Washing
ton City before he made any move
ment. 1t is to be hoped that this era
has passed in the history of the Amer
lean navy, and that the splendid ships
of war which now float the stars and
stripes will as quickly protect our citi-
zens and cur commerce as those of
Great Britain or Germany. The three
American brigs had as much right to
the privilege of the wharves of Rio
Janeiro as the ships of Great Britain,
and it must be considered an act of
patriotism for Admiaal Benham to fire
upon De Gama's flagship when he at
tempted to abridge this in the least.
The sequel to this episode is of |
great interest, for it is reported that
the insurgent commander, after the
firing, surrendered to the American
and is now prisoner on board
Admiral Benham's flagship. Belhg-
erent rights have never been granted
to the Brazilian rebels, and until these
are acknowledged no violation Of in
laws is committed if all
persons taken in arms against the gov
ernment are summarily punished,
without the immunity usually given to
prisoners of war. If De Cana is
to Peixote he will un-
loubtedlv be shot, and perhaps with
'ut trial by judge or jury.
But however this may be,some mat
,ers are left beyond doubt, and among
hese are the facts that the United
states has navy, if it was constructed
y Republican extravagance, and that
has brave seamen and gallant com
nanders who fully appreciate the i'm (
,ortance of maintaining the rights OF .
American citizens and American COM
nerce in all parts of the globe. s

THE DISPOSITION OF THE PROCEEDS

At Secretary Carlisle's upset price the
gold received for the new bonds will ex-
coed $5S,00O,000 This IS on the pre-
sumption that gold will be used entirely
in paying Tor the bonds. Il may be how
ever, that legal tender and treasury notes
will be used indirectly. to some extent
In the payments, in which case the cur
rency balance would be increased In pro-
portion. The gold reserve today is, in
round numbers $65,O0O,O00, and If the
bonds were paid for today in gold at
S5S, 5000, 900. the total reserve would be
$123, ,OO0,O 900, or $23.O00,OOO more than
the required customary limit.

REED FIGHTS THE BILL.

WAS odious to both SIDES of the house
1t meets with favor nowhere, and COM
mands the respect of neither party. On
TINS sIde, wniie we believe that it pre-
tends to be for protection, it does not af.
tord 1t, and en the other eide they be-
iieve, while it looks toward free trade, It
does not accomplish 1t. Those who viii,
vote against this bill will 10 so because
II opens our markets TO the destructive
competition ot foreigners; those who will
vote tor 1t will do so with the reservation
that they willinstantly devote themselves
TO II new crusade against whatever bar,
riers are left. Reed proceeded by saving
the argument that the bill should be
passed tn put an end to the doubt which
is worse han any bill can De is specous
and lnsldious, as were the bill Dussed by
both branches today uncertainty would
reign just the same. He then proceeded
TO argue at length on the benefits of the
tariff from the standard Of wages for the
American laborer and for the American
farmer. Throughout Reeds speech he
Was frequently interrupted by applause,
and even int Democrats at times joined
IN laughter at his witticsms. Al the
close he was greeted with spontaneous,
long continued burst of applause, and he
was warmly congratulated by his friends.

trial upon tho charge of forgery lie fairly
under way in the court Of over and

Assistant District Attorney Wcllman
presented the case fot the prosecution
at tho opening Of court. After detail
ing the connection Of Wiman with r.
G. Dun & Co., first as the manager OF
the Canadian branch and then the local
department in this city, Mr.. WGlluau
went on to relate that NJ. Wiman, on
February c, 1893. went TO Dookkoepcr
Wheeler. Of r G. Dun & Co., and asked
him for check for 5000 payable to E.
W. Bullingrr; that Bullinger never got
the check. but that Wiman deposited It
in his own bank to his own private &C.
count "Tho question In the hands Of
tho jurymon will be. did Mr. Wimau
know that tho signature OF Z. W. Bul-
linseT was forged when he uttered the
check" said Mr.. Wellman. "We can
show that he did, for tho Law allows Us
to show that Mr. Wiman had uttered
forged checks during the year previous.
"a year before ho uttered another
check on BullinSor. Then he uttered
checks drawn TO the order Of J. N. Fair.
banks 70 the amount Of $4,000 and
$4,000"
Gen. Tracey interrupted q. this point
and requested that the court order the
district attorney TO conflnc himself to
the case in question. "And as to that"
said tho general, i've concede that Mr..
Wiman wrote the na:no OF BullinCer on
tho back OF this check and deposited to
bis own account. Commercial law Jus.
titled him in so doing"
Justice lneranaIn allowed General
Tracy to continue cautioning the jury
that they must not consides what Mr.
Wellman said to be evidence, unless
these facts should DO subsequently
brought forward US testimony.
MIR. Wellman, in explaining tho mo-
tive Mr.. Wiman had in obtaining such
small amounts as 5000 by forgery,
said it was because at that timo Mt.

James uarrall, cashier for r G. Dun

question and said he made it under or
ters from Mr.. Wiman. -
Edward Bullinger, the publisher of a
railway guide. in whose favor tho check
was drawn, said the signature was not
his; that tho writing was not at all like
his own. Hc had never authorized Mr..
