We are not here to bewail our time
with mingled groans and sarcasms, or
from the safe shelter of a friendly en-
vironment to libel the men of the time.
We have had full enough of that. That
is the principal function of many OF the
wise critics. and doleful Jeremiahs, and
respondent reformers who are muzzing
about lin the twilight of this century
in the vain hope that, by some mysterl-
GUS evolution, their present pestiferous
activity may be transformed into the
forces that are to control the next CEN
fury. I am aware that a very plausl-
BILE defense of this practice may be SET
up that the dread of censure is a pow
erful incentive to well-doing; but 1t IS
at least a question whether warm
and timely word of approval might not
prevent some of the slips and failures
Of public men.
But without expressing despair of
the age, one may freely affirm that the
creed of Lincoln should become the ac-
cepted confession of faith of the Amer
lean people, the sure ground of hope
for civil affairs and foreign relations.
1t should be taught in our SCHOOLS
along with the salute to the flag" not
as an abstract ethical principle, but as
the living creed of living men, and en-
forced by the example of such Amerl-
cans as Abraham Lincoln; 1T should be
written by the people over the door OF
every primary every legislative hall
and public building; it should be woven
into the very fibre of the official con-
science, until this simple motto, THE
Right and the Duty" shall become the
final Interpretation of genuine Ameri-
canism. If the youth of America, COM
ing reyerently to this annual celebra-
ton, will learn that motto of the man
they honor, they will continue under
God to save the state.
With that simple creed he Won his
place in history and in our hearts: Let
| us have faith that right makes might;
and in that faith let us dare to do our
duty as we understand it, On that
pedestal he stands-look at him! No
late-born calumny can stain his name;
no new-found littleness reduce his stat
ure. Sacred, strong, serene, secure in
the esteem of men, he remains, our
hero, our ideal American
'tRich in saving common sense,
And, as the greatest only are,
In his simplicity sublime"

our duty to furnish the people of Hawaii

Retirement OF Greenbacks.
The secretary Of the treasury reports
that the receipts of the government from
all sources during tho fiscal year ended
June 30. 1895, including Ss4, Isl ,223, re.
ceived from sale of Pacific railroads,
amounted to S4O5, s21 1876. and its expendi-
lures to s443, 3Bs, 582. There was collected
from customs el49, 576, O83 and from inter-
nal revenue $40 9OO,841. Our dutiable
imports amounted to sH4, 735, 40, q de.
crease OF 81, l56, 40 over the pre-
ceding year and importations free
of duty amounted to SOL. 414, ia, q de-
crease from the preceding year Of 800, 524,-

The total tax collected on distilled spirits
was 81, ZIG, $3.50, on manufactured tobacco
Se36, 23YO,59., and on fermented liquors

We exported merchandise during the
c amounting 10 1921 ,4S2, $50, an in
crease 3. $50, 488, IA from the preceding
year.
It IL estimated upon the basis of present
revenue laws that the receipts Of the gov.
eminent for the year ending June 80,
1899, will be s577 ,S74,8O7 aud its expendi-
lures 1850, S75. 647, resulting in u deficiency

On the same date there was in the treas

T.,c PROVISIONS madc for strengthening
the resources of the trcasuryin connection
with tho war has given increased conf
dence in the purpose and power Of tho
government to maintain the present
standard and has established more firmly
than ever tho rational credit at home and
abroad. A marked evidence of this is
found in the inflow of gold to the
treasury. Its net gold holdings ON Nov.
/, 1893, were $685. 85 100, as compared with
el58, $751; on Nov. /, 1897, and an in
crease Of net cash of t.O7, 756, 100 Nov. /,

present ratio of net treasury gold to out
standing government liabilities, includ-
ing United states treasury notes Of 1850,

To Exempt Private Property at Sea.
The experiences Of the last year bring
forctbly home to US q sense Of the burdens
and the waste Of war. We desire In COM

to the lowest possible point the damage
sustained in time OF war BY peaceable
trade and commerce. 1t is true we may
suffer in such case less than other COM
munities, but all nations are dam

loss and disturbance. This purpose can
probably DO best accomplished BY an In
ternational agreement to regard all pri-
vate property at sea as exempt from cap.
ture or destruction by the forces Of bellig-
erent powers. The United States govern
ment has for many yers advocated this
humane and b~enefcent principle and Is
now In position to recommend 1t
to others without the imputation Of
selfish motives. I therefore suggest for
your consideration that the executive be
authorised to correspond with the govern
ments of the principal maritime powers
with o view of Incorporating into the per
manent law Of civilized nations the prin-
ciplc of the exemption Of all private prop
erty at sea not contraband of war, from
capture CT destruction by belligerent
| powers.

CAsTELLANOs GOT NO MONEY.
Captain General Demanded SS5O.ooa
on Government Due BiII.

a special to the New York Tribune from
Havana under date of December says:
The straits of the Spanish authorities for
money gave rise to a sensational episode
this week. Captain General Castellanos
went in person to the Spanish Bank Of
Cuba and demanded SS50,OOo cash He was
accompanied by subordinate officials. After
making the demand the captain general Of
fered a receipt or due bill of the govern
ment. The president of the bank declared
that it had not the cash to meet the de-
mand. The captain general directed the
cash drawers to be opened by his subord-
mates. This was done but no money WAS
obtained. A meeting of the directors was
then called. Instead of finding means to
satisfy the government they indorsed the
refusal of the president to supply funds.
and affirmed notice previously sent to de-
positors asking them to withdraw their de-
posits temporarily from the bank because
of its semi-official relation to the Spanish
government. 1t has heretofore submitted to
these enforced contributions, but the eX-
pectation of early American control caused
the decision to be taken to advance no more
funds Though American authority was not
established on December j. as had been cN-
pected, there is no probability OF the bank
yielding to Castellanos' demand. Other
financial institutions support its position.
When the Spanish troops evacuated Hol-
guin. in Santiago province the military
commander went to the Holguin branch OF
cash it had and left a government due bill.
This incident had given warning to the di-
rectors of the parent institution in Havana,
and they had prepared for a visit from tho
captatu general The bank will be reorgan-
lied the day that Spanish sovereignty In
Cuba ceases.
