THE TALK OF MORE BONDS.

Many suspect that another issue Of bonds Is
contemplated by the Administration. The care
fully prearranged conference OF Secretary Car
Isle with many bankers does not seem to have
any other sufficient cause, unless 1t was designed
TO start q movement for the Presidency, which
Is emphatcally denied The Treasury Is TO
longer in trouble II the Secretary is not more
wildly In error than he has been In previous esti-
mates the revenue under the existing law will
at least suffice TO prevent dangerous reduction
OF reserve until after the end Of President Cleve-
lands term, unless events not now anticipated
greatly accelerate that reduction The Treasury
has therefore no visible reason for seeking the
opnion Of bankers at this time. But there are
some bankers who have a visible reason for
wanting more bonds because they failed to bid
high enough to get large profits out Of the last
sale. and 1t is strongly expected that some OF
tbnm are urging the Secretary TO make another
issue
Such step would lot only be preposterous and
inexcusable, but would unquestionaby be held
grave offence by many members OF Congress

4 GREAT SPANISH VICTORY.

The Spanish authorities are said to be much
clated over the capture Of General Garcia ana
his expedition. They may well be. 1t Is one OF
the crratcst victories Spain has Won in the pres
emf war To at least some Span!ards 1t Will be no
loss welcome because II was achieved by treach-
erv instead OF by open battle. To the Cubans
themselves that circumstance will afford some
consolation because now. instead OF being shot
like dogs by Weylcr's savage orders, the prisoners
will be treated humancly. They may be pun
shed and severely punished, for their violation
of the neutrality laws Of the United States but
they will be dealt with according to the laws or
n civilized nation. Nevertheless the radng OF
the Bermuda is serious blow to the patriot
cause. and great triumph for Spain.
II IS also vindicaton OF the good faith Of the
United States Government. The accusation has
now and then been made that this Government
ia remss In its duty toward Spain. The charge
is groundless 1t is not incumbent upon the
United States authorities to play the part OF
spies and traitors, to ascertain the dOings or
Cuban sympathizcrs, and TO get evidence against
them. Neither the laws nor good morals require
that. But whenever Spanish agents have done
such work. and laid credible information before
this Government. action has been both prompt
and energetic SUCH Has l'tD lIt Wv III WV

Attorney and the Federal Commissioner have

Of the Presidents own party. 1t Is better 10
face that fact in advance than to have IL nrst
thrust before the country in heated ana scahuii-
breeding speeches by Democrats in congress.
The Republicans would be enable to excuse all
issue Of bonds so destitute OF puDhc reason.
Nultitudes who would not attribute dishonOraole
motives for such q step would nevertheless con-
slider that an official guilty OF so grave dlsre-
gard Of public interests ought not to be retained

at once offered to prohibit any further issue OF
bonds under existing circumstances, and 1t would
take hard work to prevent their passage IN
either house.
1t NAV be said by some Of the bankers WHO
have been persistently urging retirement OF
creonhacks that the course proposed would IN
effect retire from public circulation many mill
ions Of legal.tender notes by locking them up in
the Treasury, and that this would give bankers
an onnortun,tv To realize better rates OF interest
on money loaned. But the President and Secre-
tary could not admit such purpose without
rendering themselves liable to impeachment
For that would be a deliberate effort to defeat
A law which 1t Is the sworn duty Of the PRESIDENT
and Secretary to execute-namely the III" WHICH
reoujres that legal-tender notes, when redeemed
paid into the treasury, sHdh i'' ~ 49,
but reissued The lookup of notes mas gone Iir
already. So that many think it the real purpose
Of the Administration to push 1t as far as Con
gress may permit, with the assistance Oh some
bankers who In order to force up rates OF III
terest and compel Government 10 issue more
bonds at low rate, may turn In legal tehderS
and draw out gold as fast as they can. But no
plain announcement of such an Intention couid
be made without confessing determination 10
violate and defeat law on the statute DOCKS.
Congress would do well TO keep close watch
Of financial proceedings, and to be prepared 10
act with promptness If occasion arises. 1t VIII
not be forgotten that, according to the statement
Of Mr.. ]. Perpont Morgan, the Administration
had expressed before Christmas It's preference
to Issue 5000 600 600 Of bonds at once. Inc reso-
luton presented by Senator Elkins, when was
withdrawn when the President yielded ana or
dered popular subscription for bonds may yet
REQUIRE consideration with important modlica-
lions. Whatever may be thought Of the present
revenue law, no one expects deficiency or

Administration ought TO have the power, rs
none hive the right. to burden the future or more
than hundred millions Of American citizens by

No fair-minded person could fail to be pro-
foundly impressed by the statements made be-
fore the Senate Committee on Cities yesterday
regarding the evils Of the school trustee system
in this CITY, The testimony was given by men
and women who know by personal experience
what these evils are; some Of them being school
trustees themselves. and others members OF the
Board of Education and school inspectors Not
n little was said on the other side, too. for Tam
many thinks highly Of the trustee system and
never fails to lift up earnest voice in its de-
fence II the Legislature considers the best in
terests Of this community and Of the public
schools of New-York, however, 1t will pass the
Payey bill and wipe the trustees out Of existence.
The future Of the Ballington Booths Is still
a matter Of decided uncertainty. tho only posi-
tive thing being that they will remain In this
country and submit to no more orders issued
from London. 1t seems certain that there Is a
strong feeling on the part Of many members Of
the Salvation Army In America that II would be
a good thing to cut loose from the parent organ
ization, and Il IL not impossible that this may be
the result of the present controversy. The Army,
however, is strongly centralized, even its prop
