The Fish commi..ion'. opportun,tx


The scheme of seining the canal above
Washington for the purpose of restocking
the Potomac with bass has thus far, 1t ap-
pears. proved a success and 1t now seems
probable that many thousands of fish will

river as a result of the hauls already made
But the work may have to be stopped on
account of the prevailing cold snap and the
failure OF the fund which the amateur
fishermen of this vicinity raised. The lat
ter are rebuilding their efforts however.
and If the weather should permit there
may be no interruption of this attempt to
preserve the rivers store of game fish.
The Fish Commission should find here an
excellent opportunity TO further its official
purposes by using in aid of this project a
portion of its fund of one hundred and ten
thousand dollars for the propagation of
food fishes" The canal bass are in all re-
spects as good stock for the best purposes
of this line of work as the fish Matched
ard bred III the spawning beds and ponds
of the commission. and in using the latter
a considerable saving would be effected In
the item Of transportation. A thousand dol
lars used from this fund supplemented by
the private contributions of the citizens
would go far toward restoring to the Poto-
mac its reputation as the finest stretch
of bass water in the world

The collision In North Carolina between
Senator Butler and Congressman Skinner
Is very much more than a fight for popu-
hstic leadership in that state. 1t is that
much with vengeance. Both men are
very ambitious. Mr.. Skinner was one Of
the first democrats of prominence in the
state to go over to populism, and therefore.
although comparatively young man still,
- regarded as the father of the new party
there. By right OF being the first in the
field, as well as by reason of his ability.
his friends have felt that he should be
holding the place that Mr.. Butler now
holds. But Mr.. Butler came to the front,
assisted In the coalition which overthrew
tie democracy. and the senatorship by
right of good management on his part,
as his reward
The two men differed widely about certain
matters at ST. Louis last summer. They
we're on the eve of an open rupture there
mCre than once. Some of Mr.. Butler's 5
performances and negotiations were severe
ly criticized by the friends of Mr.. Skinner,
who thought they detected In Mr. Butler a
disposition to give the populist side of the
controversy away to the democrats. Sub
seQuently. at the populist state convention
IN North Carolina, Mr. Skinner himself
used extreme language In referring to Mr.
Huuers fusion arrangements. But as the
national campaign had opened. 1t was not

The triumph of Mr.. Quay at Harrisburg
On Tuesday was complete. 1t was his in
fluence alone that decided the senatorial
contest and awarded the prize to a COM
paratively unknown man as against a man
who for eight years past has enjoyed a ma
tional reputation. When the size and i'm
rortance of Pennsylvania in the sisterhood
of states are taken into account this
achievement of one man Is very much out
of the ordinary. Pennsylvania. it is true
has for years been the theater of boss rule.
but General Simon Cameron In his paln1iest
days never scored anything more notable
than this performance of Mr.. Quay.
In New York in a few days will be ex-
hibited an Influence of a like character
Mr.. Plat moves as Mr. Quay does his won-
ders to perform. He has gathered all ma
chine power into his own hands at home
and the state legislature is preparing to do
his will as completely as the Pennsylvania
legislature has just done the will of Mr.
Quay In New York Mr. Platt will take the
senatorship himself. and come down to
Washington for a six years term of shrewd
and tireless partisan activity.
All this Is of moment to Mr. Mckinley
and his friends. 1t would be useless to try
TO hide its real meaning. Both Mr. Quay
and Mr.. Platt stand for machine politics.

machine politics effective Neither pos

netism Neither is a snowy man. playing
upon the susceptibilities of his followers by
the arts of eioquence or dash. They are
pair of cool calculators who have reduced
politics to a business. and who do business
on well defined business lines. Their ma
chimes are we'll constructed. and are at
present in excellent working order
That Mr.. Platt and Mr.. Quay as senators
VIII work together Is the safest of assump-
tions And that. in a Senate so evenly di-
vided as the next one will be on lines of re-
puhlcanism and anti-republicanism, they
viii develop considerable power is alto
gether probable. They work but in one
way. and assiduously to but one end Their
machines are built with patronage, and
naturally demand patronage for continued
usefulness. Unless patronage is forthcom-
ing therefore neither Mr.. Platt nor Mr.
quay Will feel that he has benefited by ma
uonai republican success 1t will be mat
ter OF interest to observe how great their
demands are. as also how those demands
are met by an administration opposed to
factfonal fighting and pledged to civil sery-
ice reform.

InspectiOn Of Banks.

While there is political capital what
ever to be made out Of these recent bank
failures. they are full of suggestion on
legitimate business scores. Not all of
them, of course have proceeded from the
same cause. Some have grown out of a
too venturesome spirit of investment, some
out of unjustifiable favoritism in making
loans. and some out of old-fa shioned, every
day raScality. But one feature seems to
be common to them all. and that is that the
affairs of the institutions were not properly
understood by those In charge and respon-
sible to the public. The public does not
look merely to the president, or cashier or
one or two members of a board of direc-
tors. but to all those upon whose shoulders
rests responsibility for the safety of a
banks business. The different officials are
supposed to be. and are intended to be.
checks on one another: and in this view of
the matter it Is always a most surprising
thing when it appears that one official of
bank has been able to run a crooked ca
reer with its funds for period extending
over months, and sometimes over years.
natural inquiry, what were the asso-
ciate officials about that the fraud was not
promptly detected?
What is the remedy There ought to be
remedy. Is the present system of inspec-
tion defective? Is it sufficiently thorough?
Does inspection take place often enough?
Ought 1t not to be thorough and as fire.
quent as would make it impossible for reck-
less dishonest officials to hide their
transactions for very long? 1t is. of course,
difficult matter to deal with But ought
it not to receive the attention of bankers
and business men generally at an early
day?
AS business men are very active at pres
ent in matters of public moment. the pres
ent would appear to be a good time for
them to take this matter up. A national
convention will assemble at Indianapolis
this month to consider the question of the
currency. 1t will be composed of repre-
sentative business men from every section
of the country. They are in favor of sound
money, and, of course, are equally In favor
of a satisfactory discharge of every f1du-
ciary trust. They will appoint a committee
to pass upon the one question. Could they
not appoint another committee to pass
upon the other? They are themselves vi
tally interested in the subject and their
mastery of business details would make
suggestions from them Of great value
Even the officials of the government, I'm

The future. ir its national bearing. ap-
pears rosy to the populists. and hence the
desire Of the leaders of that party to keep
abreast Of every opportunity. In their
opinion the democracy is hopelessly divided.
The sound money men will not return 10
the fold. and the silver men will be abso-
lutely powerless without populist assist
ance. 1t is likewise the populist belief that
the republicans will fail to satisfy the
country under the Mckinley administra-
tion. In 1900. therefore, according to the
populist calculation, the country will turn
to that party for relief. The democracy
having failed under Mr. Cleveland. and the
republicans under Mr.. Mckinley, the popu-
lists, in their minds eye, see themselves
Invested with office four years hence. and
commissioned to give the people good times.
So that, in the opinion of some of the
politicians, the Presidency Itself is not
beyond the hopes and aims of these two
North Carolina leaders. Mr.. Butler. par
ticularly. is known to be very aspiring.
And with some right. He has reached a
very high place at an early age. and his
prominence in the recent campaign served
to introduce him to full appreciation of
haeiohal opportunities. by IoVV he VIII
have arrived at the Presidential age. and
if he can maintain himself without loss
until then he may cut an important figure
In the national populist program of that
year.
But II he loses this fight. and especially
to a well-known rival like Mr.. Skinner. he
may lose heavily. His strength at home
is now his only strength. II that Is shown
to be impaired he may in the end be under
mined altogether. and disappear from the
pCpulist leadership. If MIR. Skinner wins
there will still be good deal for him to do
before his leadership takes the form of a
dominating force. but ss men flock toward
success very readily in politics, one big
winning will be likely to serve him valu-
able purpose. The fight at Raleigh there
fore has a certain national significance.
