Tho Oceanic.

The last European mail brings further
details Of the new Oceanic, the giant steam
ship lately announced by the White Star
line. She Is to be "of the Majestic type,
slightly improved and larger" The Majestic
is the slmmest of the big ships now in use,
having beam Of 81 feet inches to q length
OF $50 feet. That makes her length to her
breadth little more than 10 to /. Tho
Oceanic will be 122 feet longer than the
Majestic. 81 feet longer than the Lucania,
and 25 feet longer than the Great Eastern,
the ship which for more than quarter Of a
century has seemed unapproachable, a freak,
built on a scale so extravagant that her like
would never again be attempted. The Ocean
les beam is expected to be about 65
feet, making her proportions similar
to the Majestic's; and her tonnage will
be over 1900 tons. She will be able to
steam around the globe without coaling at
a speed Of IL knots,
The Oceanic's prospective owners announce
that due attention will be given to the
matter Of speed, but extreme speed will be
subordinated to the comfort and conven-
fence of passengers" Experts can calculate
her speed on the strength Of the statement
that she Is to have three screws, each with

The Extraordinary Session.

The session of Congress called by Presi-
dent MCKINLEY to begin next Monday II
properly styled an extraordinary session.
The purpose Is extraordinary, namely, to
provide revenue wherewith to run the Gov
ernment and to stop the Cleveland process
of plunging deeper and deeper into debt in
order to pay current expenses.
In another respect the coming session Is
extraordinary. Deeply seated and gener-
ally just as Is the prejudice against the
summoning Of the Congress to Washington
out of the regular schedule, and particu.
larly in the first days Of new Administra-
tion, the entire country looks forward
with approval, and even with eagerness, to
the early meeting Of the Senate and the
House this spring. No word of protest or
of criticism has been heard, 80 far as we are
aware, from any quarter. The political
disadvantages commonly supposed to attach
to the extra session called at the beginning
Of Presidents term, arc lost to sight. No
body considers them. Nobody speaks Of
them. All Of this Is extraordinary, and 1t
is the most striking evidence Of the urgent
necessity of the course which Major McKIN-
LEY has adopted, for the public interests.
The disease sometimes called Cleveland
ism has run it's term. The process Of re-
cuperation and rehabilitation cannot begin
too soon. The new era must open with the
crocuscs of March.

Ignorance Enlightened.

In an address delivered last Wednesday
at Grand Rapids, Mich, by the Hon. Will
LIAM ID. BYNUM Of Indiana, We find this
astonishing statement:
Tho wes. and the South have for year. been in
the position In which the people Of New York found
themselves In 1898. whom the money stringcncy b.
came 90 ssvero that they unable 10 secure
rency carry their business and meet their oblisa
tons. They met the necessity By Issuing forty mil
lions or over Of Clearing House certificates, which
were nothing more less than credit notes, but
,ehtoh circulated for ft~s as MONEY Thsy were
simply evidences Of Indebtedness. bus they relieved
tho pressure and vsnsed panic. II this trans
action Of questionable right under the law. saved the
country from tho ravases Of financial panic. how
much more secure would be with system thai
would AFFORD the people of-every section an oppor'
trinity to provide against . money strinsency By .
similar but safer method"
For the enlightenment of Mr.. BYNUM and
OF all who share in his ignorance, We desire
to remark that the Clearing House certifl-
Gates issued by the banks Of this city did
not circulate as money, either in 1893 or In
any other year. The scarcity Of currency here
in 1 500 was relieved by the importation Of
gold from Europe, and the only use made Of
Clearing House certificates was to settle
balances between the banks.

posing for sale or selling goods In violation
of the chasing, grouping, and graded plan
above described, or otherwise violating the

less than So or more than 5000 for each

the judgment, upon the conviction OF the

up and abated until the keeper shall give
bond, with sufficient security to be ap-
proved by the Court, in the penal sum Of
$4,000. payable to the people OF the State
of Illinois, conditioned that he will not sell
goods, wares, or merchandise in violation Of
the laws Of this State, and will pay all
fines, costs, and damages assessed against
him for any violation thereof; and in case
of forfeiture of such bond, suit may be
brought thereon for the use Of the city, In
case Of fine due to It,"
Any fine or Imprisonment under the
terms of the bill may be collected or en-
forced In any court of record Of criminal
Jurisdiction upon indictment or informa-
tlon; or the fine may be sued for and re.
covered Gin the name Of the people Of the
State Of illinois," II convicted, the nui-
sance-keeper stands committed to the
county Jail until the fine and costs are paid.
Persons to whom goods are sold shall DO
competent witnesses. And hero is the
interesting final section Of this interesting
projected law:
at shall bo the duty Of the proprietor OF every ssors
70 furnish In writing. under oath. at such times
may be requested statement setting forth the differ
ent Glasses Of goods and merchandise which he
carries for sale. such statement bc furnished the
Mayor Of the city and tho failure comply with the
provision Of this section shall subject the offender TO
nne Of s. for each onense."
1t seems to us that the proprietor should
be required to issue every day a sworn state
ment Of his receipts and expenses, with the
cost Of every article sold, and sell at re-
bate to his competitors who don't keep big
stores; and that when convicted OF vio-
lating the classification, grouping, and
grading plan, or otherwise trampling on
this bill, he should be put In the pillory. or
the Chicago River, or some other public
highway, or fiogged by Populists in relays.
Even then the department store might re-
fuse to vanish from the land. Still, II Is
polite to hope that the members of the Cook
County Business Mems Association know
as much about business as they seem to
know about law.

others pushed forward TO save the actors life,

lish would not be moved 10 love the United
States IL there should be few more Geneva
awards. The United States would not wish
to fall upon the neck of Great Britain IL
there should be a few more Halifax COM

tion will promote international comfy,
brotherly love and peace, Is much the same
thing as to expect that persons who are
frequently engaged In litigation with each
other will be made fonder OF each
other thereby, and less liable to commit
a breach Of the peace when they meet.

fuse to be bound by the decision and will
take his case into court for final decision.
That final decision, in the case Of nations,
is the result Of war and the vexations and
disappointments produced by international
arbitration will tend to increase the prob
abilities OF war. 1t is a useless effort to
escape from the essential impossibilities Of
international arbitration to say that Ger.

to be referred to 1t, Of what use Is it, savo

nothing. Is such and such thing worth

With the highest respect for Mr.. CoUDERT,
it is possible to regard arbitration as the

GUTHRIE, Oklahoma, March There were
wild scenes In the Legislature. Everything was IN
uproar. .-Despdfch from the Seat Of War
1t would be unjust to assume from a despatch
like this that any thing unusual is happening in
Oklahoma, or that there is any undue degree OF
excitement among the members OF It's Legisla-
ture. That body probably contains more original
and hrst-hand characters than any other legis-
lative body in the world. They think out aloud,
and very loud. When the tanner children Of
older communities whisper. these frolicsome
spirits yell louder than the sound OF hun
dred ghost dances. When they make motion,
they mean business. When they rise to remark,
they jump into the air and come down in earth

tion is more forcible than imprccation

eager and heated disputants should be

Re.ssrs why Ne she.la Ne Retained ~
Corsui-Gener.i st Havsns-

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: There is
report that the new Administration contcm-
plates accepting Gen. Lees formal resignation.
which, in compliance with custom, was for
warded to take effect upon the retirement OF the
Administration under which he was appointed IL
is to be hoped that the impression has no founda-
tion in fact. Under the circumstances recently
disclosed by even a partial publication OF the
Consul. Generals official correspondence with
the State Department, tho resignation cannot
be accepted without misconstruction. unless
Gen. Lee insist upon II. The Spaniards and
their allies, tho American Mugwumps, would
attempt to construe such action as an expression
OF dissatisfaction with the course pursued by
our representative at Havana, and evidence Of q
continuance OF the unpatriotic and towardly
policy OF the Cleveland Administration, which
has been universally condemned by genuine
Americans throughout tho world. The new Adj
ministration cannot afford to place itself in such
an equivocal position. II cannot afford to array
itself against the overwhelming public senti-
ment which applauds tho fearless and rcsolute
course which Gen. Lee has steadily and un-
fiinchingly pursued. despite the discourage
ments and restraints which Cleveland and Oh
ney repeatedly threw in his way
There is strong reason to believe that facts Jet
to be disclosed will, II possible, increase the en-
thusiasm which the ConsulGencral has already
aroused and deepen the regret should he retire. 1t
will very likely be shown that he repeatedly asked
for authority TO demand the release Of American
citizens unlawfully imprisoned; that such au-
thority was withheld; that he was forced TO
make such demands upon his own RESPONSE
bility; that he was refused the presence OF a
warship to strengthen his influence: that he
was not even encouraged TO insist upon a com.
pliance with the plain terms OF our treaties with
Spain and that when he was IN this country he
not permitted to accept the invitation OF the
Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs to appear
before them and mpart information they needed
a guide, and which they had been unable to
obtain from the State Department.
Instead OF accepting his resignation. Gen. Leo
should be requested TO remain. He has become
thoroughly familiar with the situation in Cuba
and he has shown his capacity to deal with 1t.
He has bravcd tho wrath Of the Spaniards in
Cuba aud their allies In this country. and by
sheer pluck and persistency. unsupported by his
Government, he has been remarkably success
full, and rendered incalculable service in pro-
venting the torture and even saving the lives Of
American captives In Spanish dungeons.
Such is the uniform testimony OF every trust
worthy person who has had an opportunity to
witness his efforts and observe the result ANY
effort to disparage these services directly or in
sinuation. deserves the condemnation OF every
honest man. Mr.. Mckinley Is not likely to COM
mence his Administration with act that
would be both unpopular and unpatriotic.
