I've or Three Nniliiens Moro VIII Ne REQUIRED
AFTER the 60. 900. 900 IL Expended.

Albany, sept. ia conference was hold to-
day at the Office OF tho State Engineer between
tho Executive Canal Committee, representing
an association Of boards OF ira 10 and other com.
mcrcial bodies throughout the state, and State
Engineer Adams and State superintendent OF
Public Works George W. AldridEc. Robert IL
Hcbbard of Buffalo Is Chairman OF the commit
tee. The other members are ex-senator George
Il. Sloan of Oswcgo, Capt. William L. Cleary
and Alexander u. Smith ofNew York, II. II. Cook
Of Whitehall, and Frank s. witherbee OF Fort
Henry. Tho $1,000 900 appropriation is
about exhausted, and the conference was
called to determine upon what improvement
work the remainder OF tho appropriation shall
be expended. About s 7.5o0.0o0 OF work has
been completed or is under contract, q good por-
ton OF which is on the Erie Canal. The inn
provemcnt ofthc western division OF the Erie is
fully provided for, except the new steel lifting
Iock;por I"S Which vii Wiz cost Si $500 600. The The middle
division Improvement has all been contracted
for, bnt, quite n stretch OF the eastern division
OF the Eric is not even under contract.
A I the conference held to-day representative
OF the Oswego and Champlain canals complained
that too much Of the money was spent on tho
Erie. and they thought that what remained
should be devoted to the Improvement of the
Oswego and Champlain canals. Representatives
Of the Erie objected to this. saying that the Eric
was the main line and should be- first improved
from one end to the other, in order that the mil.
might no utilized at the earliest possible time.
They, thought tho balance of. the 100000 900
provcmcnts. but when they were made aware OF
the fact that this balance was not sufficient to
complete the improvements they agreed to the
expenditure of the major portion of the remain
der OF the SO, O00, 600 on the Osyego and Cham
plain canals.
1t was learned that 1t will take two or three
million dollars moro to complete the contcm-
plated improvements on the Erie, 0sweso, and
Champlain canals. The members OF the confer
cncc committee sill call n meeting of the canal
and commercial interests which they represent,
some line within the next few months. when
steps will be taken to secure the additional APP
preparation which it Is found will be needed
after the plans for the entire scheme of canal
improvement is complete.

What the Porto Has Done.

The report that the Gear and the Sultan
have made agreements for mutual support
may or may not be well founded, but the
one thing certain is that even Russia might
well value Turkey as a military ally.
The situation In the Levant has been won
derfully changed, indeed, from what 1t was
a year ago. The whilom "sick man" of
the Bosporus, so far from being a candi-
date for the dissecting table, has gone
through a fight in which he has easily
fioored his antagonist, and must at least be
called convalcscent
In spite of Turkish cruelties, whether 1 IN
armenia or in Crete, the world must ad.
nit that the Ottoman Empire has shown a
splendid ability to defend what it considers
its rights. 1t may be said that no great cour.
age was required for tackling little Greece ;
but Turkey had as unhesitatingly grappled
with gigantic Russia in the Plevna cam.
paiGn, and Russia, too, was then provided
with plenty of allies.

besought to buy and set apart only the face

eminent. Again, Congress preserves many
backgrounds at much expense, whether of
the Revolutionary or the civil war period !;
but the Palisades were not the scene of a
famous battle.
The truth is that the protection Of this
wonderful natural wall from further de-
fncement Is the duty of New Jersey and New
York, about four.ffths Of 1t belongingt to the
former State, but the whole being stretched
out from Fort Lee to Picrmont to the view
of the latter. 1t is a case, as our corre-
spondent has suggested, like that OF New
York's saving Niagara Falls and the Adj
rondacks from defacing and destroying en-
c~roachments, and we are glad to learn that
steps have been taken by the Women's
Clubs of New Jersey to arouse public sem
timcnt for saving the Palisades. 1t can
easily be seen how the region at the foot
could be greatly beautified as a resort, but
the primary purpose Of stopping the ruin Of
the rocky face could be accomplished ut no
prohibitive cost.

Shall We Have Postal Life Insurance ?

The postal savings bank scheme Is now
widely discussed. 1t Is taken for granted
that the Postmaster.Gcne will recon-
mend in his first annual report the estab-
lishmcnt of the system, and that Congress
will be called upon to consider n bill en-.
Raging the Federal Government In the
savings bank business.
The main argument In favor Of postal
savings banks is variously presented. 1t APP
pears in one of its most common forms in the
subjoined extract from the Richmond State Z:
Thousands OF thrifty persons whose earning power
is restricted have OK perienced tho bitterness coming
from a loss OF their savings through the savings
banks, building and loan associations, and other in
stitutions which were supposed to give safety, aud
hopelessness and doubt have undoubtedly thereby
been sown broadcast, causing q harvest OF improvi.
dence TO be reapcd on account of such calamities."
That Is quite true. 1t is true, likewise,
that thousands of thrifty persons whose
earning power is restricted have lost the
results of their foresight and unselfish
economy through the failure of the life in
surance companies or mutual assessment
associations which were supposed to pro-
tect the future Of the families of the invest
ors. Thousands of needy widows and help
less orphans have experienced the bitterness
of loss in this way; loss which could not
have occurred had all life insurance policies
been guaranteed by the Federal Govern
ment.
If the object of postal savings banks is
paternal, the protection by the Govern
ment of it's citizens against the accidents
Of business and the f%railties of financial
management, why should not the Post
Office Department undertake to insure the
lives of our citizens as we'll as to become
the depositary of their small savings7
Has Postmaster-Genera GARY considered
the possibility of extending the functions
of his department to the broad field Of life
insurance.

The Dead c Apples Of the Sub.
jected.

On Sunday our esteemed contemporaries
Of the Associated Press, far and near
throughout the United States, printed from
one column to seven columns apiece of
fraudulent cable dispatches.
What we mean by fraudulent cable de-
spatches is matter purporting to be received
by cable and bearing n foreign date mark,
whereas it was cheaply had by mail or else
manufactured and written here in New
York by the expert swindlers employed for
the purpose and then accepted by the VIC
tins of the Associated Press, and by them,
with full knowledge and completely, put
forth upon the unsuspecting public. That
is What we mean by fraudulent dispatches.
And not one of all these papers that we
speak of can plead ignorance. Subsection
is their only suggestion in palliation. They
take what they can get from their masters,
and they dare not even whimper in com.
plant. Such is the shame of the easy vic.
tins of Chicago. such the reward of all so
base as to be the accomplices of LAWSON
& STONE, Unlimited.

most respectful coincidence.

EXPORTS
Those FOR August were the Largest or Any Au-
gust on Rccord. neInE $40, A0s. $40.

W~AsnINGToN. Sept. 5.-The exports Of do
nestle merchandise for August were the largest
Of any August OF which the Bureau Of Statistics
has a record. being valued at 9.497,S 800, which
is an increase Of $12, sO7, $50 over August Of
last year. For the eight months ending August
81 the exports amounted to 1929, 434,3 73, which
exceed by $G2. 217. 1897 those for the correspond
ing months of 1896. The excess OF exports OF
merchandise over imports for August last was
$i0.953, 753. as against an excess OF $685.
SIG in August, 1896. The excess OF exports for
tho eight months ending August, 1897, was
sos. 229, 213, as compared with 800, sos. 493
during the corresponding months of 1896. The
value OF imports during August amounted to
500, $40 $40. This is the smallest value since
June, 1879. when they amounted to $3S $780,
45l. Imports for August. 1896. were valued at
$l2, 229, 1897 less than those of last month. The
imp ,rts Of the month just past were about
equally divided between free and dutiable
goods. the value of tine former being SCI .231,-
$50 and OF the latter $1s.645.O 4s. The increase
Of exports is made up mainly of breadstuffs,
which is accounted for by the heavy foreign de-
mand for American grains.

Protect tho Palisades:

The view of the Palisades problem which
Q correspondent of THE SUN presented the
other day seems to us sound. There Is no
dissent to the proposition that the ravages
made by quarrying in this splendid ridge
of rock should be stopped as soon as
possible ; but the efforts to that end made
hitherto by the States of New York and
New Jersey have been misdirected. and
apparently have been only a waste of time.
There is no military value of consequence
In the Palisades, and the effort to have
Congress purchase them on account OF their
alleged Importance as sites for fortifica-
tions or as a drill ground has thus far
failed, as might have been expected. In
deed, the suggestion OF military value evi.
IDENTIFY comes merely from the aspect of the
ridge, which is like an enormous natural
escarpment. But 1t is not placed where it
would be a defensive necessity or even an
important adjunct Of defence.
1t cannot seriously be supposed that an
enemy could make his way through the
whole length Of the Hudson valley to New
York from Canada, or that, If he could, he
would be forced to take a route bringing him
within the range Of guns mounted on the
Palisades. On the other hand, the defences
OF the city against an approach by sea, in
stead OF being behind 1t, must be many
miles In front, as far south as Sandy Hook,
Romer Shoals. Plum Island, and the Mar.
rows, and at analogous distances east
ward In Long Island Sound. The Palisades
have never been suggested, so far as we
are aware, in any official fortitlcation
project for New York.
rs a military drill ground they are also
out of the question. Tho garrisons in and
around New York must be mostly artillery
and heavy artillery at that. Up to a recent
date, no infantry was stationed here, and
with the new defcnces it will be the artil.
lery that increases, and AZ least ten bat
teries ont of twelve will be concerned with
guns that are mounted in tho seaboard
forts. As to the New York and the New
Jersey National Guard, they have not only
their State camping grounds, but other
areas for mannuvre.
Besides, 1t Ia only the face of the ridge
that needs to be acquired in order to STOW
The present destruction, and not the great
areas west of the bluff. Yet in the desire
70 shift upon the General Government A
task properly belonging to the two States
Immediately concerned, it is seriously pro.
q posed to purchase great tracts on the heights

reservation which is not needed at all.

KNITs UNDER A REBEL FLAG.
A Southern Woman who Has Not Been Dowp
Town since the War.

From the Charleston, S. c., Post.
There Is an old woman in Charleston who
has not been on the Battery since the war and
has not been on King street in fifteen years.
This may seem like a fairy tale to many. but
1t is n true statement. She is not q cripple.
either, but is as well and strong as a woman
could expect to be who had reached the age Of
"a years. She lives in the western part of the
city within q few squares of King street and
near the Rutledge avenue street car line.
Another remarkable thing about this old lady
is that she has never seen the electric cars and
has no desire to sec one, so she says. She WAS
asked by a friend Of hers the other day 10 join
her In a trolley ride, but she declined with
thanks, saying she did not care to ride on any
thing that was propelled by unseen power.
Law me" said she, when asked to take q troll.
ley ride. do you think I'd get on one OF those
cars that are run by electricity ! could not
be induced to take one of those electric rides.
AS before stated, the old lady has not been
on the Battery since the war, notwithstanding
repeated efforts have been made by friends and
relatives to get her to visit this beautiful
place. all appeals fell on deaf ears. She
would reply when asked: Thank you. l do
not care to CO."
Other than this no excuse was ever offered.
Oftentimes she has been asked by her friends
why she did not care to go on the Battery
or why she had not been there since the war,
but never a reason did she give. The old
lacy is a genuine rebel, and says she has
never surrendered and never will. In her
house Is a large Confederate flag suspended
sits under it hours At q time and knits stock

The election of a new President Of the re-
public OF Venezuela, in which Gen. IGNACIo AN.
DRADE, the "oflcial and Liberal" candidate.
was successful. has passed Off quietly, and seems
to have been conducted very fairly. The pres.
ent President, Gen. CREsPo. not only took pre-
cautions against disturbance, but made especial
efforts to protect the rights Of voters and the
freedom Of the ballot. When. just before the
election, complaints against the local authori-
ties were sent to him from some districts. he
despatched q commission to investigate them.
with orders to secure respect for tho laws. The
adherents Of the different candidates were pro-
tected in their meetings and parades, and en-
joyed such liberties as properly belong to cleo.
ton times.
The retiring President, CREsPo, has admins
tered the affairs of his country theoretically
and successfully. His conduct during the dis
pute with England over the boundary question
was marked with frmness. discretion, and
patriotism. His successor, ANDRADE, is an ex.
perienced politician, and is regarded as a strong
and courageous citizen. The Presidential term
in Venezuela is only two years, which is too
short for the right man.
