What Will the Banks Say ?

John r. Dos Passos, of New York, has
issued a pamphlet from a synopsis Of
his proposed American Credit Foncier,
which explains one or two points not
previously made clear. For example,
he proposes to adopt the "amortiza-
tion" or sinking fund principle which
has been successfully applied in Ger
many and France. a., That principle is
this: That the borrower is never called
upon, unless by his own election, to
pay the principal of his loan as a whole,
at any one time. but by paying a small
sum, each year, in addition to his inter-
est, he establishes a fund, which ulti-
mately wipes out the principal and sat-
isfies the debt.
For illustration, a man owns a lot
worth $1,000 and wishes to make GER
tain improvements. He goes to the Dos
Passos Mortgage and Loan company
ans asks for an appraisal of the property.
The company sends experts to inquire
into its value, and IL they report that
upon conservative basis the lot is
really worth 50, the owner of the lot
can borrow $1,000 with the lot as secur-
ity. The company will lend him this
money for an interest charge of about
S4650 per annum. In addition he will
pay annually 10 II $3.50 into the sinking
fund, which applies to the liquidation
on te principal of his loan; $3.50 into the
expense account. which pays the COM
pany's salaries. ETC., and $500 into an
extra reserve fund for contingent
losses, making total yearly payment

The Case for Hawaiian Annexation.

Frederick W. Seward, son of the late
William H. Seward, and chief assis-
tant Of his illustrious father when the
latter was Lincoln's secretary of
state, has written to the New York
Tribune letter on the Hawaiian ques-
tion which should be read by every op-
ponent of annexation. 1t is so plain
and clear, and it bears such historic
Endorsement as representing the views
of the greatest American diplomatist
of modern times that we reproduce it
herewith.
"At last" writes Mr. Seward, 1--WE
are brought face TO face with the ques-
tion whether we will take the Hawaii
an islands into the United States or
will let them drift into the embrace
of some other power. Hitherto we
have been content TO say that we pre-
ferred to let the Hawaiians govern
themselves independently. But they
no longer wish to do so and in all
probability they might soon find it i'm
possible, even if they did wish it.
There are certainly three, and probab-
ly four, great powers any one of whom
would gladly accept the responsible
ties that we seem to be afraid of. Eng
land, France. Germany and Japan,
any one ofthese would cheerfully take
the islands if we don't want them.
We may invelgh, If we chose, against
their thirst for dominion or their
greed for territory. But the truth
is that each of thoIe four nations is
a great and growing power. Now,
every great and growing power needs
space to grow and be great in. 1t
seems TO them entirely natural and
reasonable to go on extending their
commerce, increasing their revenues,
strengthening their defenses, and
finding a foothold for their emigrants
by planting their flag in new fields of
enterprise
IAN of these powers are our friends.
No one of them is our enemy, or even
wants to be. They recognize that we
have a prior claim, because the ISL
ands are aphically nearer to us
and are linked to us by ties COM
mercial, political and religious more
closely than to any OF them. SO the
annexation OF the islands to the
United States would be acquiesced in
and when once accomplished no one
would dream of contesting our rights
there any more than in the Aleutlan
islands. or in Key West, or Nantucket
orlBloelS island, During past years We
have taken pains to notify them all
that we should consider It an unfriend-
Iy act for them to interfere with Ha-
wall. They have respected our pro-

test because they were friendly and be-
cause they recognized our prior claim.
But IL we formally renounce that prior
claim by refusing to take the Islands
ourselves, we cannot go on forever In
saying that nobody else shall have
them. 1t is recorded of the orig
inar dog in the manger' that he kept
the cattle at bay for quite while, but
ultimatelv he found his position un-
terable. SO would ours be.
"The Hawaiians themselves would
probably take this view of 1t. They
want to be annexed to the United
States. but If we forbid and refuse
them they will be reduced to the alter
native of deciding whether to main
tain feeble little state, exposed to ag-
gression from abroad and revolution
within, or to become an integral part
of some great empire which can pro-
tect their shores, their resources, main
tain their peace and increase their
wealth. Which horn OF the dilemma
would they be likely to choose7
whenever it is proposed to add any
thing to the United States there rises
a cloud of visionary dangers, conjured
up by the imagination Of timid writers
and statesmen. Like gibbering phan-
toms, with uplifted finger and shak-
ing head, they warn us to beware Of
the expense, to beware of the distance,
to beware of the climate and soil, to
beware of incongruous elements of
population, 10 beware of war and pes
thence. of cyclones, icebergs and vol
canoes! Those direful threats are
mouthed at us so long as the annexa.
ton is under discussion. AS soon as II
is actually made the mocking phan-
toms one and all sink back into their
graves and are never heard of more.
Then it turns out that every addition
to our territory, instead of entailing ex-
pense, has brought wealth; instead OF
source of weakness has proved a
bulwark of strength; instead of bring
ing war has established peace. 1t was
so with the Louisiana territory. II
was so with Florida. 1t was so with
Alaska. And so it will be with Ha-
wall"

Our Alien Tax Law.

The bill to impose a tex of three
cents n day on every alien employed
in Pennsylvania, the tax to be sub
tracted by the employer from the aliens
wages, which recently became a law in
this state, Is expected to add several
hundred thousand dollars annually to
Athe revenues Of the various counties,
lust how much cannot be estimated.
If enforced in Lackawanna county 1t
ought to constitute a. profitable source
of income, as the average number OF
aliens employed within this countys
borders has for some years been com
paratively large.
In support of this new law 1t is urged
that large numbers of aliens have come
into the state and taken work at lower
wages than natives were willing to ac-
cept; lower, in fact, than would feed
the family of an American laborer;
that such aliens have had the advan-
tages of public institutions, including
free schools and free textbooks for
their children-and all this without con-
tributing cent to tighten the burden of
taxation. Being destitute of taxable
property and not intending to become
citizens, there has been no way by
which they could be deprived of their
dead-head privilege and made to bear
a portion of the cost of maintaining
the government, whose benefits they
shared equally with the taxed natives
and adopted citizens. 1t Is further sug-
gested that, if these aliens wish to rid
themselves of this peculiar tax, they
can exchange it for ordinary taxation
by ceasing to be aliens.
"Itmust be admitted" says theWash-
ington Post that there is some reason
in the demand that the native and
adopted citizens should not carry the
whole load of taxation in communities
where there are large numbers of aliens
who are unwilling to give up their for
eign allegiance, and who underbid the
native and adopted laborers when they
apply for employment. 1t is not strange
that this state of things has occasioned
dissatisfaction and complaint. When
a state gives an equal chance with ma
tives to all immigrants who want to be-
come citizens, it can scarcely be ac-
cused of prejudice against foreigners
Our laws ought not to offer a premium
for the kind of aliens to whom this new
statute applies. But can state afford
to offer special inducements to such
material to apply for naturalization.
papers and become voting citizens?"
The state cannot afford to lower the
bars in order to facilitate naturalza-
tion; but II in consequence of the alien
tax law there shall be increased effort
on the part of aliens to qualify them
selves for naturalization, the result
will certainly be advantageous. The
operation of this new experiment in
taxation will be studied with interest.

OUR MODERN TORIES.
From the New York Sun.

from lne new 1OIh sun
The jubilee of Queen Victoria has af-
forded Englishmen occasion for the great
est lingo demonstration in all English
history but the Mugwumps and the other
pusillanirnous sorts hereabouts who oo-
ject TO jingoism exclude the English va
riety from their animadversion. English
Jingoism is all right in their eyes, only
the jingoism which expresses American
pride and manllness meets with their dis
favor. Except for that American jingo-
ism, the jubilee at London yesterday
would have been more Jubilant still.. The
national American spirit that CRATES so
harshly on emasculated Mugwumpery as
intolerable jlngoism deprived England Of
the opportunity Of celebrating British do
minion extending over the American con-
tinent. In the days when that Jingoism
mpel,ed the An erican colonies to cast on
English domination. Mugwumps were
called Tories, pnd the jingoism to which
the breed then opposed their cowardice
and treachery was known as patriotism.

Victoria and Ahdication.

Rumor is busy with the report that
Queen Victoria contemplates an early
abdication in favor of the Prince of
Wales. Wales is already 56 years of
age, and it stands to reason that if he
doesn't soon get the crown upon his
head it will be too late. Only one SOW
ereigI in Europe, the King of Den
mark, is much older than Wales, and
the great majority of them are consid-
erably his juniors. He has come as
near to the years of discretion as he is
likely ever to come, and if the good
Queen wants to see her eldest son seat
ed on the throne of his fathers now is
the time to have the deed done.
1t is probable that out of Difference
to the mother, the English people
would make no great protest against
the accession of Wales under these
circumstances; but it is by no means
assured that they would be so COM
placent after Victoria's death. The fact
of the matter is that the average of
English moral sentiment has progressed
very materially since it tolerated the
w and passed over unchallenged the
Haunting by William w of notorious
women at the social functions of the
palace. When we remember that it
drove into retirement and to death the
ablest Irish parliamentarian of our
time for fault which is but as a
hy-speck compared with the gross in
iquities which blacken the record of
the present English heir-apparent it
becomes clear that if Wales hopes to
run the gauntlet to the throne, he had
better do so while his venerated mother
is alive to ward off some of the blows
Otherwise, he may reach the kingly
chair in a sadly demoralized condition
IT, indeed, he reaches it at all.
We do not think that this senti.
mental gush and clatter over the
queens jubilee has wrought much of a
setback to the democratic spirit In
| England. 1t may have, but we doubt
it. The chances are that after Vic

Of $500, or less then the per cent in
terest now charged by the banks, and
this payment, Mr.. Dos Passos estim-
ates, will in fifty-flve years clear off the
entire debt.
That is how the plan would affect the
borrower, according to its author, but
how will the company itself fare? Mr..
Dos Passos is confident that Il, too, can
derive benefit from the transaction. He
estimates that on the paid-in capital of
the concern a profit of per cent. can
be realized through ordinary banking
operations; while on the loans a profit
of one per cent is assured in this way:
When loan is made a bond is issued
based on the land mortgage as security
and bearing 3.65 per cent interest. The
borrower, however, pays 4.65 per cent.

difference is the companys profit. On

leans will amount to four times its capt.
tai this arrangement pays a 6 per cent.
| dividend on the capital and also allows
for a 3 per cent reserve fund to be held

All this looks very simple in theory.
but the pertinent inquiry which Mr.. Dos
Passos appears to have overlooked is,
What will the banks do? Does he sup
| pose that they would permit an enter
prise such, as he has outlined to take
from them their real estate loan busi-
ness, as it surely would do If conducted
on the foregoing lines? Inasmuch as
the banks now average 6 per cent. in
terest on this business, it is exceedingly
improbable that they would sit pas
sive while Mr.. Dos Passos and his COL
leagues undertook to step in and do the
same business at an interest rate of 4.65

To Prevent Spread of elbow Fever

Washington, October 2.-The follow
ing telegram has been sent by Postmas-
ter General Gary to President Isaac
Levy of the New Orleans board of
trade regarding the governments plans
for checking the spread of yellow fever:
Your telegram of the 30th to the
president, transmitting resolutions, has
been referred to this department for
reply. The federal authorities are in
constant cosnmunica1 ion by telegraph
with state boards of health and sup
erdntendents of the railway mail ser
vice and every possible effort is being
madeto so dixinfect all mails and mail
clerks that local quarantine regula
tiOns may be raised al all points as
against New Orleans. Yesterday tSep-
tember 30th) many points in Texas
were quarantined against Houston.
Today nearly every local quarantine
against that city has been raised
through the efforts Of this department.
I'VE propose now to establish disin-
fecting camps outside of New Orleans
on every railway and to meet all mails
to and from New Orleans at these
camps, not allowing either cars or
clerks to proceed beyond. These, or
such other regulations as we may Sc
cure, will no doubt greatly relieve the
situation. We must not forget that
public health transcends even the
greatest commercial interests. This de-
partment desires to conserve both and
