THE condition of the money mark ct is briefly set forth by Henry Clews, the Wall street financier, in his circular letter of the 23rd inst, as follows: "The money market has made clear turn in the direc. tion of settled ease, to continue in any event until next spring, or quite possibly next fall. The outflow of currency to the interior has alaost entirely ceased, and the next move. ment in order is the reflex of thirty millions or more that has gone to the West and South since last July. The South may require some further remittances in connection with the cotton movement, which has so far been unus ually restricted, and for that reason may be expected to materially increase next month. But 1t is not unlikely that the in crease in the cotton exports may bring gold to this side of the Allan tie. with the present extraordinary trade balance in our favor. 7

CLEvELAND's administration
held that the Catholics could erect
chapel at West Point; but At
torney General McKenna, who is
a member of the Roman Catholic
church, has taken up the matter
and decided it according to law.
He says that the Catholic have
no more right to erect a chapel on
Uncle Sans land at West Point
for the exclusive use of cadets of
that faith than the Baptists, Con-
gregationalists, Methodists, or
Presbyterians would have under
similar conditions. Should the
bars be let down in the case of
one denomination they would
have to be kept down for other
religious bodies. West Point has
place of worship where the
cadets are privileged to attend
devotional exercises which are
conducted by clergymen repre-
senting the different denomina.
tions. This ought to do.

In a letter to the Chicago Rec
ord, William E. Curtis sums up in
these words as the views of Presi-
dent Mckinley in reference to-
tariff and finance: "Mr. Mckinley
suspects the existence of desire
on the democratic side of the SEN
ate to keep up the Cuban agita-
tion as long as possible in order
to defer action on the tariff until
fall, when the revival of industry,
which he anticipates so confident
ly, will come too late for effect
upon the the November elections.
The president believes that the
passage of the tariff bill will set
the wheels going in all the shops,
will cause work to resume insthe
mines, bring boarded money out
of tin boxes and stockings and
brighten up every home in the
land. He believes, too, that the
agitation on the Cuban question
creates distrust and apprehension
among capitalists and postpones
the return of prosperity. He
thinks that what the country
needs most is peace and quiet and
relief from commercial, political
and financial disturbances"
