MONARCHY on THE WING.

Where are foreign balances. and in what
shape? 1t is no longer possible to know. Move
ments of exchange no longer tell. The APP
Parent balance due the United States on only
five months merchandise and specie accounts
is $500 0000 600 but the deferred exchange
known to bankers Of New-York and held as
collateral here is reckoned about $4,000, 900.
Is the rest OF the balance fictitious. or is 1t
small or in what shape is it? Possibly ii may
Cnlighten some minds to be informed that ac-
counts Of Morgan & Co. are no longer recorded
in sterling money with exchange but in dol
lars. The place where the settlement has TO be
made fixes the most convenient form of ac-
count When the United States was settling
every year large balances due abroad accounts
we're most conveniently kept in English money.
1t would seem that settlements that side
are not now expected
Let us suppose that Morgan & Co in New
York owe Morgan & Co. in London S20OoOO00
ard that Morgan & Co. in London owe Morgan
6 Co. In New-York S50,0OO,00O Does either
house fret about the debt? Nobody outside the
sacred bank parors has any business TO know
how much or which way 1t is Why should
Morgan & Co. tell anybody that It owes itself?
If the debt is large, ore slip Of paper would
respect The customers of the house in Europe
taken together are indebted to the customers
Of the house In NewYork. If the house does
not want the money who cares? And so bank
balances between houses doing n large busl-
ness on both sides the ocean may stand for
many millions Of international Indebtedness

consumption by millions Of workers 1t Is
proper also 10 notice an erroneous statement
made by a trade journal, in publishing an en-
tended table of prices with so-called index
number which says that the level of prices IN
Il lis country is the highest since January lN9o'
and, excepting that date, higher than nj any
time since January. 1894. The fact Is that prices
were little higher last october than they are
low. and were higher throughout the whole OF
the years 1895 and 1891. The error results from
the complete failure of tables which take no
account Of the relative Importance of articles TO
represent correctly the course of prices

II: ed MS the browning evidence OF his guilt. III
II Is not true. as stated that the discriminating
papers came from TINT basket. whence did
they come and what assurance is there that
they were not fabricated by an enemy of Drey-
fus. or were not chargeabe against some other
man, in whose stead Dreyfus has been made
tc suffer? Falsus in uno. falsus in omnibus
may not be an unerring rule, but Ii is one when
the public is apt TO apply to such case rs ms
Again. II the German Government was not con
csrned in the affair. and, indeed. knew nothing
OF 1t more than the general public, what be-
comes OF the solemn assevcratlOns that rela-
tiCns between the two countries had been seri-
ously compromised and that the utmost Sc
crecy in trying Dreyfus was necessary in order
not to cause an open rupture? One thing Is
Gear: Either the version Of the Dreyfus case
which the French Government permitted to
be made public was false, or the German Minis
ter for Foreign Affairs has made false state
ment
As we have hitherto observed. the mischev-
GUS feature Of the business is the secrecy that
las been maintained Secret trials are an an
achronsm. They do not commend themselves
to the modern sense of justice. They create
suspicion that justice is not being done. In This
case secrecy assuredly has had that effect
And now we are told by the best authority that
the pretext on which that secrecy was main
t?ined was altogether false Really. ii is i'm
possible not to sympathizc with VI. Zola in his
demand that the full light of midday be let in
upon every detail Of this extraordinary and-it
must be added-most suspicious case.

THE NEW SENATOR FROM MARYLAND.

THE NEW SENATOR FROM MARYLAND.
The election of Louis F. McComas, now a
Judge Of the Supreme Court OF the District of
Columbia as United States Senator from
Maryland for the slx-year term beginning
March 4, 1899. will be hailed by Republicans
not only In his own State, but throughout the
country, with unqualified satisfaction.
OF all the prominent candidates named for
the succession to Mr.. German, Judge McComas
has Justly been regarded as the most distinctly
qualified and amply equipped for service in the
upper branch Of Congress. His long and cred
liable record in public life-as Representative
in Congress. as a leader in Maryland politics
as factor in Republican National conventions
and as a Judge on the District OF Columbia
Bench-has firmly established his reputation as
a man Of energy, ability. problty, cultivation
breadth OF Judgment and flrmness OF character
In the House Of Representatives he had made
his way in three or four terms to a place Of
high distinction and Importance, and his de-
feat for reelection in 1890 was properly re-
garded as serious loss In leadership on the
Republican side In the popular branch OF Con-
gress That estimate was fully justified by the
part he played Ia the Republican National Con-
ventlon In Minneapolis in 1892 and In the Pres
identlal campaign which followed, in the con-
duct of which he filled with credit the laborious
and responsible post Of secretary to the Repub-
lean National Committee
With an additional experience Of six years
as Federal Judge, not too far removed from
the whirl Of political life to lose touch with
public affairs, Mr.. McComas will return to
Congress TO take up the threads Of a most
promising and useful political career; nor is
It too much TO say that public expectation Will
be egregously at fault. II he does not, even
in his first term. rs a Senator. become a genu-
inc force in determining Republican party pol
icy and influencing Republican councils. Both
the State of Maryland and the country at large
are to be ratulated on the result Of yes
terday's final ballot for the Senatorship at An
napos.

with a stick in order to get correct Idea OF It's

inasmuch as some Of the early eXperimenters IN
this line built their craft in the shape OF one
bird or another, obtaining results quite correct
IN outline and movements. though none Of them
vould climb the air and disport themselves
therein like the fowl which they Initiated. Ii
