A CONTRACTION CT s22, 900, OCo.

Most of the advocates of what is
called monetary reform are clamorous
for the retirement of the treasury notes.
This means contraction of the cur
rency of more than $300,000,000. When
confronted with the contraction which
this withdrawal would involve, their re-
ply is that they would authorize the ma
tional hanks to issue money upon more
favorable terms. and that they would
supply all needed paper money. Here
is where their plan exposes its weak
ness.
Whenever the people heed the cry Of
the bankers for the government to 20
out of the banking business" by retir-
ing the greenbacks, and turn over the
supply of money to the national banks,
that day will witness such contraction
or expansion as will suit the banks,
without reference to the needs or de
mands of the business men of the
country.
Since McKinley's election the process
of contraction has been going on rapid
ly. The aggregate bank circulation in
the United States in January, 1897, was
$215, S50,307. 1t has been withdrawn
until to-day it is only $193,0S6,6GG, a
contraction of 500 ,534.49 within one
short year. If the banks could control
all the paper money in circulation, does
not the contraction during the past
year show that the volume of money
in circulation would ttuctuate so widely
as TO ininre trade and business?

THE ALABAMA LAUNCHING.
It Will Not be Public Event
 Yard Closed to Spectators.

Philadelphia, May 4.-Cramp's ship yard will not be thrown open to the public on the occasion of the launch ing Of the battleship Alabama. This is war measure, taken to avoid any possible accident and to prevent the admission of Spanish spies or persons who may wish to collect information for the Spanish government
 Henry W. Cramp, vice president of the ship building company, said that from the publication of the presidents message admittance to that establish ment has been suspended and that since the arrival of the St. Paul the precautions of public police and private watches have been doubled and the river front of the works is patrolled constantly by an armed boat from the close of working hours in the after noon till opening in the morning.
 This, said MT. Cramp, is necessary measure in view of the large and inn portant naval work in progress, and is in difference to the wishes of the gov ernment, intimated in a manner indi- eating that if the suggestions were not at once adopted it might be followed by a peremptOry command.
 For the same reasons, MT. Cramp said the public will not be admitted on the occasion of the launching of the Alabama

BLASTS FROM RAMS HORN.

Pride is the national p1ckpocket. Fame's race track runs across the rights of men.
 Safety and success are the ends of all wise counsel.
 Temptation is not dangerous until you want to yield.
 Society's glow worms always shine with a sickly light.
 Judgment and decision are mans great wheels of fortune.
 The merry-hearted have a fortune that thieves cannot steal.
 Wearing finery unpaid for is re- spectability going jailward.
 The good mans life is like the spark that is brightest at the oicse.
 The devil makes his visits when the temperature is at blood heat.
 While wealth lifts enc person heav- onward, it sinks a thousand.
 Fashion rules the largest empire and collects her tax in gold and blood. Earth has no brighter blossom than the little child smiling through rags. An hour of careful thinking is worth more than ten of careless talking.

Maritime war time rules are pub lished and sent out to the entire navi- gating world in order to prevent ac- cidents occurring to vessels having oc- casion to use any of the coast harbors of this country. We would willingly give them space but we do not think any of the captains or pilots on the Salt, Hassayampa, Gila, or Rio Verde will have occasion to sail for the At lantic seaboard during the season.

BETTER KEEP QUIET.

In a way the situation in the Chi nese empire may be understood from some information about the naval forces now off the Asiatic coast. The vessels of Great Britain which are capable of first class fighting repre- sent a total displacement of 62,000 tons. The Russians have 79,000 tons in the same waters. The English have slightly the advantage by reason of the newer construction of all their very strong in heavily armored fast vessels of the latest design. France possesses a squadron of about 35,000 tons displacement, all modern, and ern ships having tonnage of 15,00O tons. It is obvious that any combi- nation among the rest would be fatal to each of these powers, and that the
 the French and Russian ships alone
 would be more than equivalent in gen eral fighting power to the British an6 German fleets united. If England could secure the alliance for which i
 has schemed with Japan it might make
 Russia alone toe the mark, but ever then it could not hope to smash tht Russian, German and French arma
 ments together. In nutshell, that i! l the scientific and human side of thr British policy of backwardness in thu face of Russian aggressions in Man l churia

REFUGEES IN HAITIAN PORTS.
Treaty With That Government Favors
 the United States.

Port au Prince, Haiti, May 4.-The Haitian government is somewhat wor- ried by the obligations of the treaty with the United States, fearing that a fulfllment of articles l5, 30 and 32 would invite Spanish attack. The government wishes to restrict it's pol icy to mere neutrality.
 United States Minister w. F. Pow ell has assured the government that America will exact all the obligations of the treaty, and has demanded that no shelter shall be given to a privateer in any circumstances. Spain, not hav- ing equal treaty privileges with the United States, an opposite course, MT. Powell contends, must necessarily be regarded by the United States as an unfriendly act. The government is we'll disposed to America, and will probably acquiesce.
 Article 15 provides that vessels of the United States, even in time of war, shall have refuge in the harbors of Haiti, and full protection without hindrance or obstacle of any kind.
 Article 30 says that it shall not be lawful for foreign privateers at en- mity with either nation to put into the ports of either, for repairs or for pro visions, except enough to proceed to the next port.
 Article 32 provides for the rights of diplomatic agents of the two coun- tries.
 It will thus be seen that the United States is, by the treaty, especially fla vored, and that it can look upon Haiti almost as a part of the United States during the war On the other hand, Haiti must observe absolute neutrality toward Spain.

One unmistakable sign of reform is the fact that George Fred Williams of Massachusetts has volunteered for army service It is too bad that MT. Williams can't persuade his Nebraska friend to join him.

In the various bays and inlets and waters of Cuba, it is said that there are about sixty Spanish war craft of all sorts. None of them, however, are capable of engaging the blockading ships. They are the boats that have been patrolling Cuban waters to pre- vent filibustering-which they didn't prevent.
