We copy below two paragraphs taken
from last weeks associated press dis
patches, and two other paragraphs fol-
lowing, taken from that now almost for
gotten author 'Coin," who but very
few years ago was thought to be the fin
ancial Moses of the age. In the light of
intervening events. the ridiculous absurd
tiles of Com of 1895 contrasted with the
press dispatches of 1898 are too evident
to need comment, and yet some real hon.
est sensible people believed just what
"Coin" said, and perhaps few do yet.
Washington, Sept. 2, ls9S.-The gold
reserve in the United States treasury
reached the highest point in its history
to-day, with total reserve of $319, 32O,-
s72. The highest previous amonnt was
$2l8, 100000 which was recorded in
March, 1888. The reserve was establish
ed in 1879, with $118,0OO,0OO. 1t first
reached $2Oo, o,OOo, 900 in October, 1897,
when the figures were $s,Ooo,OoO above
the mark. The lowest point reached
was $44,0O0,oO0 IN January, 1895. In
June, 1897, there was s14o, Coz, ,OCO and a

New York, Sept. 2, ls9s.-R. G. Dun's
Weekly Review of Trade will say to-
morrow: The smallest failures ever re-
corded in any month for five years were
those of August. No other month since
the monthly reports were commenced by
Dun's Review, ex lusive in the shown
defaulted liabilities as small, within
$1,000, and the ratio of such defaults to
solvent business, reported by exchanges
through all clearing houses, only $10s.7o
in 100000, is smaller by 26H per cent
than in any previous month The clear
ings have been the largest ever known in
August and % per cent larger than in
1892. The enormous volume of ofbusiness
in month usually one of the most inac-
tive of the year, demands attention. A
postponement during the months of war
of some contracts and purchases which
have now followed explains part of the
increase and the STEADY absorption Of the
securities explains also. There has been
an average decline in the price Of all
commodities, so it takes much larger
tonnage to make up the aggregate value
OF 1892. There is every prospect of a
much further ncrease.-Associated Press

oung Jesse james.

The trial of young Jesse James for train
robbery will not take place until after the
elections The judge before whom the case
will come is a candidate for reelection and
is busy with his canvass.
Kansas City is awaiting the event with
feyerish interest. The people are dividing
for and against the accused and eminent
lawyers will appear in the case. The police,
while asserting that they have absolute
proof Of the young mans guilt are refusing
to show their hand in advance of the trial
The friends of the young man, on the other
hand. assert great confidence in his fnno-
cence. and declare that the whole charge
grows out of his name and its association
when borne by his father with crimes of
that character. They fully expect him 10
come clear.
Young James has just attained his major
ity and is quite boyish-looking. This fact
coupled with the reason given by his friends
Tor MS arrest. has brought out a number of
nysterlcaI women on his side, and they are
reported as fiocking to the cigar sranI
which he keeps and making purchases and
e2IressIng sympathy. But very notable
champion Of the young man is ex-Goy Crit
ienden Of Missouri, whose reward offered
while governor OF the state for the elder
JAMES led 10 the assassination of the famous
ToDber By Bob Ford. Whether sympathy is
AT the bottom OF his feeling also, CROWNS,
out Of that chapter of history, is not stated.
but it is not unlikely.
The case when called will attract wide at
tentt0n. II is difficult TO believe that train
ed officers of the law in a city Of a quarter
pf a million inhabitants would upon no 9th
or ground than that alleged by the friends
OF young James proceed to such AN extreme

young mans guilt and possess evidence
which has convinced them. But at the same
time the court and public sentiment will
weigh that evidence with the greatest care.

conviction. The young man is just as much

The Fire I'm the Rear.

History is promptly repeating itself.
When ii was first proposed to interfere in
the matter of Cuba those who opposed the
move took the ground that the United
States could not afford such a step. They
offered nothing in the way of argument.
They simply asserted that as we were
getting along very well we should be con-
tent with that. When asked if the United
States did not owe something to humanity.
they could not see it. When asked about
the starvation and death in Cuba they
denied the existing condition of things.
and quoted from Senior de Lone and his
paid slal dererS to support themselves.
They were not moved to resentment by
the destruction of the Maine. They were
entirely willing to submit that to arbitra-
tiou, and even, in Spains interests, at
tempted to discredit the findings of the
naval board of inquiry which declared that
the ship and her crew were the victims of
treachery- In a word. these men We're will
ing. and even urging. that the government
should occupy a position of the most de-
grading pusiIlanimity rather than that a
blow should be struck for freedom in Cuba
and seIf-respect in the United States.
They were brushed aside. The spirit of
the country demanded action. The situa-
facts had come from sources altogether
above question. Senor de LONE and his
money could not hide the truth. Thou
sands had died and were dying in Cuba as
the result of Spanish policy. The report of
thr naval board of inquiry was approved.
The country believed that the Maine and
her crew had gone to the bottom as the
result Of Spanish treachery. And so. after
Senor de LONE had been sent home for
trickery and slander, and Spain had
fused to get out of Cuba, the United
States proceeded to put her out by force.
The war has ended. and the United
States is triumphant. The men who op-
posed the war now come forward, logically
enough. and propose to undo as far as
possible all the results of it of benefit to
the United States. Again they contend
that the United States has no business out
side OF Its former boundaries. 1t is pros
porous now Let well enough alone. When
asked if there is no responsibility to civili-
zation in the matter of what has already
been done. they reply with a smile They
can see none. When asked what shall be
done with the captured islands they tail
of into generalities of selfshness and tim
idity- Still the dominant note is that the
United states Is unequal to any new task,
and can only hope to preserve itself by
sticking To the mainland. They dare not
admit it. but they would be willing to see
all of Spains lost possessions restored to
her. with a most humble apology for all
the work OF the American army and navy
Those who thought the war justifiabIe
and who honestly fought it are in favor
of garnering the full fruits of it. They
are in TO halting or apologetic mood. They
have no fear Of the country's ability to
meet The new obligations. 1t is still with
them question of the United States
agatnst Spain. and. as always, they are for
their own country. Theirs is definite
proposition as to the new territory. They
propose to make 1t American soil. Shall
any fire in their rear defeat them?

Cheap Light.

A few weeks ago it was announced, to
the great delight of the users of gas and
electric lights, that the Edison Company
of New York proposed to reduce the rates
for currents supplied to individual consum-
ers TO such a point that electric illumina-
ton would be practically cheap as gas.
These rates were placed In operation Oc-
tober 1. Now comes word that the United
Electric Company, also of New York, and
though smaller concern, a rival of the
Edison company, has reduced its rates to
meet the cut of the Edison, and thus now
practically the entire electric lighting field
is covered by the new schedule. 1t is fur
ther proposed by the Edison company, it
is announced. to make an additional re-
duction. to go below the cut of the United.
This looks very like a rate war which can
not but profit the consumer If 1t results in
a permanently lower rate. This outcome is
probable. 1t is likely, too, that the lower
Ing of the electric light rates will cause
the gas companies to reduce their scale
of prices, for it is asserted that the new
processes of generating the electric current
permit so cheap a production that a
strictly even competition with gas can be
maintained. 1t is notorious that the pres
ent gas rates permit large profit, and so

Ex-Minister DENLY on the Philippines

From the November Forum.
If it could be ascertained today that no
army would be necessary, or that a small
body of troops at most would be sufficient,
to safeguard the Philippines, opposition to
their annexation would be greatly diIain-
ished. 1t i3 simply the dread of a large
standing army that causes the body of the
people who oppose annexation to withhold
their approval, | do not believe that a
pines; and l am sure that, initiating the
policy of England in East India, native
troops would serve all purposes
We have the right conquerors to hold
the Philippines. We have the right to hold
them as part payment of war indemnity.
This policy may be characterized as unjust
to Spain; but it is the result of the fortunes
of war. All nations recognize that the con-
Qucror may dictate the terms of peace. =: he
fist answer l received to a telegram sent
by me, asking on the part of China that
peace negotiations should be commenced,
and Offering to concede the independence of
Corea and to pay a reasonable war ndem-
nifty, was: Japan is willing to enter on
peace negotiations; but she will dictate the
terms"
1 am in favor of holding the Philippines,
because l cannot conceive of any alterna-
tive to our doing so, except the seizure of
territory in China; and | prefer to hold
them rather than to oppress further the
helpless government and people of China.
l want China to preserve her autonomy, to
become great and prosperous; and L want
these results not for the interests of China
but for our interests. l am not the agent
or attorney of China: and, as an American,
| do not look to the promotion of China S
interests, or Spains, or any other country's g
but simply of our own.

o. the earth were warned of Marsh's crime
and disappearance.
This experience of a hunted man Is strik-
ingly illustrative of the way in which the
world has grown relatively smaller during
the past fifty years. Marsh has evidently
had no peace of mind since he went to
Brazil in 1891. At Cape Town he was
scared away by a paragraph in news
paper which showed that his identity hal
been suspected. Wherever he might wan
der he ran grave risks of detection. FER
haps his own remorse haunted him. But
by hook or by crook he kept out of the
reach of the men who were chasing him
by train and by boat. following him liter
ally to the ends of the earth. At last, the
other day, he read an account of speech
delivered by John Wanamaker, in Phiiadel-
phia. in which Marsh's crime was men
toned and the speaker welcomed the return
of the missing bank wrecker and a tuii IN
vestigation of the collapse, with which
Wanamaker's name has been freely asso-
ciated. He promised Marsh his help if he
would return and tell all he knew.
This word reached the fugitive in the
state of Washington, and he decided %
return, welcoming the peace of the prison
in preference to the harassing uncertainty
of continued flight. His trial may not re-
veal much that is not already known, hut
it will permit the closing of one of the most
financial crimes of this end OF
the century. The fact that Marsh managed
to elude pursuit for all these years is a
striking tribute to his shrewdness and his
determined energy.

British View of Penny Postage.

From the London Cnronlcle
When imperial penny postage was adopted
we suggested that the scheme was not COM
plete without the United States. We well
come therefore the report that, as the Man
chester Guardian learns, the American
Postmaster General will recommend the es-
tablishmeat of penny postage between
Great Britain and the United States. Apart
from the testimony which this step would
be to the good feeling between the two
countries ii will commend itself to every
one a sensible arrangement. At present
penny postage exists between the United
States and Canada. A letter goes from
Florida to Klondike for cents Before
long Americans may send letter for .
cents across the continent and the Pacific
to Manila. We, on the other hand, shall be
sending letters for penny to the Antipo-
des. Nothing could be more reasonable and
rational then than that penny postage
should exist between the two countries
which have more correspondence with each
other than any other two countries in the
world.

The state election in New York this year,
like the municipal election in New York
city last year, is a matter of intense inter-
est throughout the nation. The reason for
this is that this year as last the contest in
wolves, as in almost other state, the
principle of clean, honest and progressive
government as distinguished from mere
hackneyed political rule. 1t is pre-eminent-
ly, this time. a contest between the best
progressive element of the state and the
ignorant, debauched and flagrantly defiant
methods of Tammany Hall, which has long
entire nation, a dscredit to free govern
ment and a scandal to the metropolis of
the republic. If Mr. Roosevelt is elected,
as we hope and believe he will be- the sue
cess will be a double triumph, a triumph
over Tammany Hall. and also a triumph
over the hackneyed and least progressive
managers of the republican party itself

South Takes No stock in 1t.

When Mr.. Royal was addressing the
Sons of Veterans last Monday night, after
describing the rations that confederate
soldiers got In 1863, he said how contempti-
BILE in the soldiers of the present day to be
complaining of their rations, when the
confederate soldiers could fight such bat
tie as Charlottesville on such rations as
were served out to them. and the whole
audience broke out with the most vocifer-
Gus applause. That incident told, In the
plainest terms, that the people of the SOUTH
certainly. take very little stock in the
ciamor about the poor soldier having been
neglected. When soldiers go to war they
expect to have a hard time, and when they
are as well provided for as the soldiers of
the United States are, 1t is not an easy
matter to get up very much sympathy over
them on that account.
