WHAT THE LAW DECIDES.

 A cashiers bond for the faithful dis charge Of his duties as cashier forever is held in First national bank versus Briggs (yt.), 37 L. R. A. s45, to be good for but one year, where he was elected annually and bylaw provided for his appointment during the pleasure of the board.
 Accepting less than the whole amount due on debt, with a distinct agreement that it shall extinguish the obligation, is held in Clayton versus Clark (AIiss), 37 L. R. A. I'll. sufficient to operate as a discharge, although the money is not paid at any different time or place than that originally agreed upon.

THE PROTECTION FARCE.
Dingleyism Does Nothing for the
 WOrklngman.


 The Philadelphia Inquirer is a pro- tectionist paper that does not like tho look of things just now. We rather fancy that the Dingley bill isn't show ing up to suit it. The current brand of protection is away below the top notch. in its opinion, for it remarks: We are on protective basis, but protection to manufacturers cannot be defended is indeed farce-unless there is the same protection to laborers. The great object of protection, more important than revenue, is to build up mills and create new enterprises for the pur- pose of giving employment to our work ingmen and paying them respectable wages"
 lt is unnecessary to say that the Dingley bill is short of protection for laborers. The way the knife has been jabbed into wages since that bill llbecame law is simply awful. There was . time. however, when protectionist pa- per wouldn't think of saying such things as the Inquirer says here. Then, protection was all-pervading; the man. ufacturer couldn't keep it to himself; he had to share it with his employees. But after the protectionists were found out, change came over the spirit of the organic dream. Now. labor must be pro- tected. they say; meaning. of course, that Dingley forgot to protect labor. No matter where you turn these days you find the Dingley bill colliding with something that hurts it. Here is tho Philadelphia Inquirer, a leading protec- tionist paper, practically characterizing that bill as "farce."
 This latest experiment with the prin- ciple of republican protection bids fair to leave that principle without a leg under it. It was set going with great flourish of trumpets, an extraordinary session of congress being called in order that there might be no delay in putting | 1t in operation. As the effect of 1t, or in spite of it, the awful deficit has been gaining ground and is still growing, and wages have been cut to the bone in various industries. No wonder protec,- tionist organs are speculating in theo- ries and offering suggestions as to whaN should be done to lift the "farce" of re publican protection to the grade, a6 least. of comedy that makes some pre- tensions to seriousness and sense!-- Binghamton (N. Y.) Leader.

WHAT IS THE MONEY PowERS
All Interests of the People Wait Upon
 Syndicate Greed

Syndicate Greed.
 We have had occasion in another ar ticle to refer to the exposure by tho Review of Reviews of the bogus au- tonomy offered the Cubans by the Span iards. In the same number of that able periodical we find a recognition of tho force andinfluence of the money power.
 The Constitution has explained on many occasions what the money power is, but there are, no doubt, many per- sons who regard the phrase askance. and take 1t for granted that it is mere ly q convenient term with which to round out sentence or paragraph on the money question. But the money power is very real thing, and is very. rapidly assuming control of the gov- ernments of the earth. The Review of Reviews describes this powerful com bination as ''the great bankers who ara neither English, French nor German i'm their real allegiance, but must be re- garded as law unto themselves and separate power. gradually but stead fly strengthening their grip upon the destiny of nations"
 The Review of Reviews calls atten- tlon to the fact that it is this huge, mys- terious money power that plays the na- tions against each other like pawns on chess board; that enables one or the other of these nations to place Jap anese or Chinese loans; that decided the issues of the recent Turko-Greek war, gaining better hold on the rev enues both of Turkey and Greece, and clearing millions of profit out of the bideous conflict between Moslem and Christian; that caused the slaughter of the Armenians to go on undisturbed; and that has constantly shown its hnnd In the affairs of Spain and Cuba.
 Its influence has been in the atti- tude of both Cleveland and Mckinley toward the Cuban patriots. an attitude of real enmity in spite of the fact that the people of this country are all but unanimous in favor of Cuban indepen-- dence. The people are forgotten and even the interests of party are risked by the republican leaders, 90 keen arc they to do the bidding of the money power.
 And it is this money power which thu people of this country will have to vanquish at the polls or lose their OWE iberties.-Atianta Constitution.

More Trying than His,
Stripped to the waist, perspiring in
the terrible heat of the furnaces, the
stoker never knows how the battle is
going, whether his ship will be blown
into the air or sent to the bottom, as
he throws the coal into the fiery nav
of the furnace.
Among the heroes on a battleship
none have so onerous a position and
none more dangerous than the men
who tend the furnaces and pass the
coal. However the conflict above him
may range, the stoker hears only its
distant murmur and feels only the
shock as the shells impact themselves
against the steel sides and the great
guns recoil from the thousand pounds of
steel and powder hurled at the enemy.
Perhaps a chance shot may pierce the
10 inches of armor that guard the en-
| gines and boilers and the rushing water
may drown him as he vainly seeks to
escape. Perhaps the 80 tons of ex-
plosives in the magazines may be
reached by a ~projectile from the en-
emy's guns and he may be blown to
pieces In the steel cell where he is at
work.
