A passage in the Hon. W. D. BYNuM's
speech at the jewellers banquet on Thursday
shows the difficulties against which the fight
against Reputation is conducted. with all
doubt as to the safety Of the standard removed
said Mr.. BYNUM, "our system Of currency must
be so reformed as to enable tho people of every
section of the country. under proper safeguards.
to obtain an ample supply Of sound circulation"
BY o reform of our financial system we must
remedy the evils and remove the cause of dis
content In the agricultural districts. A single
power Of issue can never be made responsive in
districts remote from the financial centres"
Tho present financial system of the United
States is that there Is a lot of money Of substan.
TALLY ono sort which finds and follows its
owners without prejudice. Mr.. BYNUM would
have a new redistribution by making new
money. which. to achieve his purpose. would
have to be so bad that It couldn't leave the re-

Paul Krueger,s Fifth Term.

The reelection of Mr.. PAUL KRCGER as
President of the South African republic
for a fifth term is a natural tribute to the
wisdom with which the old Boer states
man has conducted the affairs of the coun-
try under circumstances Of no ordinary
difficulty. He was only a youth of fifteen
when the republic was founded in 1910,
and was already learning to handle O gun
In it's defence. His life may be said to
have been devoted to his country, for, while
his early manhood was passed in the field
with al ever ready weapon In hand. his
later years have been spent in guiding it
through the dangers Of more insidious at
tacks. Prince BISMARCK declared that Mr..
KRGGER was the greatest natural-born
statesman Of the time, and his countrymen
have ratified that opinion by once more
confding to him the care of their republic.
The task which the reelected President
has before him is not by any means a
light one. The Transvaal Is in a state
of political transition from a purely a9ri-
cultural and pastoral state to one requiring
more elaborate organization. It's social
conditions are also undergoing changes
arising from the influx of other races at
tracted solely by the gold that is found in
large quantities In some parts. Their pres
ence In the country has been taken advan-
tage of to raise difficulties of a political
character for the Transvaal Government,
with the object of bringing on outside in
PREVENTION In the affairs of the country
and the ultimate extinction of its indie
pendence. The danger assumed material
shape two years ago, but was averted by
the vigilance of the Transvaal authorities
and the straight shooting Of the rifles in
the hands of the Beers. It Is still immi.
nent, but, according to the letter published
in THE SUN of last Wednesday, the Trans.
vaal people are confident of their ability to
meet 1t successfully.
President KRtGKR has shown SO much
tact In dealing with his opponents. and,
while resisting every attempt at u%surpation
of the sovereign rights of his Government
and people, has manifested 30 conciliatory
q spirit toward all foreigners who honestly
respect those rights, that IL is impossible
to withhold recognition of the justice Of
the demands of the Transvaal Government
to be let alone to manage Its own affairs.
Although in size and power the South
African republic is relatively one of the
smallest and weakest of States, 1t has
shown itself strong In defence of Its liberty.
Its national motto Is "Eendragt maakt
maagt," unity makes might. While 1t
stands by that principle President KRU-
E and his people are assured of the sym
pathy Of every liberty-loving American.

The Yukon and the Klondike.

Several years ago THE SUN first called
attention to the peculiar difficulties of To-
eating and defining that part of the bound
airy line between the American and Brit
ish possessions south and southeast of mount
Saint Elias, as described in the treaty of
cession from Russia, because the line was
to be drawn parallel with the coast, ten
leagues inland. 1t also pointed out at
the same time the certainty of a dispute
about it, between our Government and that
of Great Britain, should gold or other
precious metals be discovered In that re-
gion; and now the dispute is upon US. The
discovery Of gold mines in the Yukon val
ley, and especially in the Klondike. has
caused a great rush to that region, and as
it lies far to the north Of any reasonable
railroad connection from even the Cana
dian Pacific, the gold seekers are forced to
go by the way of the North Pacific coast
lines. Those who seek their destination
by the mouth of the Yukon are forced a
thousand miles or more out of the way, and
as the river Is open for only four months of
the year, 1t will be seen that the gold re-
gion can be neither reached nor supplied
satisfactorily by that roundabout route.
Practically the routes by Skagway and
Dyea are one, and while this is the short
est, 1t is by no means good, owing to the
great rise of from $500 to $500 feet In
the first twenty miles and the heavy fall of
snow ON the sea side. 1t Ia almost Impas-
sable for a railroad, although plans are on
foot fqD the construction of a wagon road
first and a railroad afterward.
The next route Is that from the head of
Taku Inlet through Teslin Lake to Teslin
River, and while the land transit Is consid-
erably longer than by Skagway, and the
rise greater, 1t is supposed to nave some
advantages over the latter, on account of a
from ports clearly within the Jurisdiction
Of the United States, but where they cross
the boundary line is already In dispute.
The third route is by the Stickeen River to
Teslin Lake and River, from a point on the
Stickeen beyond American Jurisdiction.
This is favored by the Dominion Govern.

tract for the construction of a railway,

Lately, however, there has been talk
about the formation Of an "order Of the

it's members come OF royal families. That

instance where a particle of any such gene

railway could be constructed all the way
to the Yukon in the general direction OF
tho Klondike, with branches to the new
fields when discovered, the transit would
be much shorter and more direct, and IL the
route could be kept open during the winter
It would be feasible to supply q large popu.
lation. But the presence OF extensive
glaciers on that part Of the coast indicates
q heavy downfall Of now and great dlhi-
Guilty Of keeping open any route which
might be found across the mountains.
Desirable as II would be, It is probable,
from all the information that can be
gathered, that no effective railroad commu-
nication can be had from the coast
west of Mount st. Elias; hence II IL ncccs-
sary to look-for a route east OF that point,
which will bring It across both American
and British territory, and add another to
the many difficulties to be dealt with.
1t is to be remembered that up to the
present time the miners In the Klondike
district are nearly all Americans, that nine
out Of every ten who 20 there in the
rush now on will also be Americans, and
that It will not be long, IL the present ex-
element is kept up and the means Of get
ting there are supplied, until there will be
q hundred thousand people, possibly more,
spread out in that inhospitable but alluring
region. Their proper government will be-
come q matter Of grave concern. They will
establish order readily enough. Private
enterprise will hardly be capable Of deal
ing adequately with the question of trans
portation, as affected by the climate. In
time to prevent great want, and this seems
to indicate that the Government at WASH
ington should set on foot at once q series Of
reconnoissanoes and surveys, under capable
and experienced army officers, Of whom 1t
has a great number, with a view to the dis
covery of the best routes Of communication
and supply, for wagon roads. railroads,
steamship and steamboat lines. 1t should
not wait for Congress to act, but should
proceed at once, both independently and
In cooperation with the authorities Of
the Dominion. It cannot afford to wait.
Preparations should be made now,s 80 that
parties can be put in the field at the first
breakup Of winter.
A region of 100000 square miles is to
be explored and developed. and gold, sill
yer, and other metals will probably be
found in abundance in many places be-
sides the Klondike. A great rush may
be expected, but 1t will require organ
ICED and systematic effort on the part
of the General Government to regulate the
movement. to locate and establish boundary
lines and ways of communication and
supply, to guard against want and suffer
ing, to provide local government, and to
protect the common interests.
The Canadian officials are moving effect
lively, and ours should not be behind them.

The Business View.

Perhaps not since the beginning OF
Cuba's struggle to be FREQ has a more I'm
pressive memorial on one branch Of the
subject been presented to, Congress, than
that which has Just been laid bafore It by
leading business men of the United States.
The memorial confines itself to the vast
commercial and financial loss which our
own country has sustained by reason OF the
prolongation of the war. There are many
other considerations, Of course, involved.
There is the right of mankind to life, lib,
erty, and the pursuit Of happiness. There
is the political principle that governments
derive their Just powers from the consent
Of the governed. There is the humane
view, founded on the terrible sufferings to
which the people of Cuba have been snb-
iected, and the fearful ravages Of disease
and starvation. But all this Is apart from
the purpose of the present memorial, which
deals with business losses only and reaches
these conclusions:
.The destructive war in Cuba has continued for
three entire years, with an average loss Of import
and export trade between Cuba and this coun-
try of 800. 900. 600 per year. or . total loss OF
$500. 900, 900 import and export TRADE since the
beginning Of the war. To this may fairly be added
heavy sums frretrievnbly lost by tho DESTRUCTION OF
American properties. or properties supported BY
American capital in the island itself, such a. sugar
factories. railways, tobacco Plantations. mfneaS and
other Industrial enterprises; the loss Of the United
States in trade and capital by reason Of this war being
probably far greater and more serious than that OF all
the other parties concerned, not excepting Spain her
self"
These are the words of a COMMITTEES of
merchants, manufacturers, bankers. vessel
owners, and others engaged in trade with
Cuba. They come from bitter personal ex-
perience. Last May these signers presented
a similar memorial, but now they reinforce
It from experience since.
What these men ask Of our Government
is to stop the war. The form Of interven-
tion they do not indicate. They desire
"this Governments aid in bringing about
actual peace" And yet is 1t possible that
there can ever be any enduring peace save
on the basis of Cuban independence

Baseball.

Last week there was a sign of great
promise for the restoration of baseball to
decency and s~portsmanship from President
JAMES A. HART of the Chicago team. Mr..
HART showed his determination to dc what
he can toward having adopted a rule for
suppressing rowdyism and making the UNI
pire once moro umpire. But the anxiety
expressed by him In these words could not
? have been laid before the public too soon:
at acknowledge thAtI expect considerable opposi.
ton 10 this proposed rule at the st. Louis meeting,
because there are many teamS which have grown 40.
oustomed TO adopting rowdy methods. But l pro.
pose TO put my associates In the League on record In
this matter"
We feel that Mr.. HART has here heed.
lessly done injustice to the "teams" re-
ferred to. The individuals to be held re-
sponsible for the manners complained of
are not the players, but the owners of their
clubs, members of the National League.
These are the men who are actually for
disorder, and it is with them that Mr..
HART and his associates evidently expect
to deal.
