There IL considerable dissatisfaction
already in New York over the new char
ter. and particularly In Brooklyn and
the other horoughs which form part
OF the city. The complaints seem TO
be partly due TO the inevitable defects
Of such an enormous document. and
partly 10 the difficulties which were

In the course of his speech upor con-
sequences Of war Congressman johnson
OF indiana said that while It afforded
opportunities for exalted patriotim and
heroic devotion to the nag. at the same
time Il opened up an opportunity for
the cormorant who always preys upon
the vitaIs OF the government and seeks
to take advantage Of its necessity.
THIS sad truth was entirely overlooked
by Congressman Lewis when he 30 in
consistently declared that II was the
money power which sought to preserve
peace. II II the man who II indus
triously attending TO his business that
breads the Interruptions and the uncer-
tainties which war introduces into the
ordinary channels Of legitimate trade
II II notorious that II 10 the Spectator
who wants 20 see war ~ Z matter Of
business. For the past four years the
party to which Mr.. Lewis belongs has
bsen denouncing the sharks and the
trafficksrs In human blood who profted
BY the civil war. II has been proclaim
Ing that although the common people
are called upon to bear the brunt OF war
while 1t lasts and to shoulder the burden
OF its cost when II n over. 1t II the
money power which profits alike by
the traffic and by the debts that are
incurred.
What Congressman johnson said Is
borne out by what the attaches of the
United States embassy say In shame Of
their countrymen with whom they have
had to deal In buying ships and NUM-
lions Of war. They make q statement
which should bring blush Of shame to
every American. We cannot conceal II;
II il proclaimed upon high authority:
and there IL no reason why It should be
smothered up. The American people
should not only know Of these things
In order to visit obloquy upon the Of
tenders. but their shame should be made
public In order that every culprit may
be placed In the pillory Of public opinion
and be visited by the indignant wrath
OF his countrymen. 1t IL said at the
United States embassy In London:
The European firms from which we
have had to buy have been disposed to
deal fairly With US and not to raise
prices: but the government has been
bled by the rapacity Of Its own money
making citixens."
This is one as the difficulties with
which President Mckinley has had to
contend. He knew that the country's
necessities were being traded upon by
the cormorants. He knew that some
were being used to denounce
him for not acting more vigorously.
which meant not buying more reckless
ly: and that the object was to force
him TO pay the prices which were be-
ing placed upon ships and munitions by
SPECTATORS who had secured options
upon what they foresaw the govern
ment must have.
We are patriotic people. but we
have also won q reputation for being
shrewd. ard we are in jeopardy OF los
ing our reputation for sagacity IL we
permit ourselves 20 be used as tools by
the rapacious spectators who seek to
turn to the grossest mercenary ends the
most sacred impulses Of 4 brave and
generous people.

SOULCHED AN ARCHBISHOP.
How Admiral Dewey Put a Stop to Culminat-
 ing Pastorals.

Washington, June 3-An official with Ad- miral Dewey writes a friend in the navy department that the admiral astonished a high church official out there at Manila very much recently.
 ''The Bishop of Manila,' so the letter runs, had been circulating pastorals, urg- ing his poole to rise up and kill los hereti- cos Ghe heather Americans) who would not permit the sacraments of matrimony or the last rites for the dying to be admin .istered. Dewey waited until he could fix some of these stories definitely upon the reverend Ananias, and then wrote him e note, in which the admiral expressed his astonishment that an archbishop could so far forget and debase hia holy office as to be guilty of lying, and lying so basely. If he heard any more of these falsehoods from his reverence or any of the minor clergy, he, Dewey, would turn his guns loose upon the archbishop's palace at Cavite and the cathedral at Manila, and level both to the ground. False teachers shall not dlsN grace the holy name they pretend to rever- ence by uttering the most absolute false hoods in the name of God.'
 "A French priest, who has a brother that is chaplain in the United States navy, undertook to carry the note to the srch-

Strong tone has been shown in the weeks speculation, and generally advancing tent tendencies in prices have been accompaled by increased activity. though a sharp reac- ton on Friday followed the news that the United States had adopted the measure for thf coinage 2f the s9-ealled segniorage.
 The upward move In pricves has attracted some outside interest, but the work of the bull cliques can be detected. The principal influences continues to be the war and the street this week has been favorably lnfiunc- ed by extpectations that the blockadng of the Spanish squadron at Santiago will end in it's destruction and canture, and. bring about restoration of peace. Rumors of an actual victory in the same quarter had naturally a decided bullish- effect on We'd nesday's market, and though the alleged news was not verified, the market did not exhibit any reactionary tendency. In fact. holders have been averse to selling stocks, even to realize profits, and the professional bears are timid about putting out shorts, doubtless because victory would result in an immediate sharp raise in prices. Due attention Is given to the indications of an impending breakdown of Spains cvhief and only financial support-the Bank of Spain and the ease of the London money market has also been a strong factor in connection with the existing bullish speculative senti- ment.
