The insurgents succeeded in
getting on the flank of our
troops unnoticed and during
the night re-entered The CITY

suspicion of what had occurred
until long after daybreak.

within the city boundaries.
t was observed that fresh in.
trenchments were being thrown
up with great rapidity.

boundaries, while the Wash

ments deployed to the left.

The result of this concerted
attack was most disastrous to
the rebels. They had expect.
ed to take us in the flank and
rear before our troops had any
knowledge of their presence.
Instead of this they were
caught like rats in a trap. BY
eleven o'clock the city and
newly constructed trenches
were cleared of Filippinos.
The insurgents fought with
desperation, but were mown
down by three cornered fire.
The insurgents losses were
exceedingly heavy. A hasty
count of the killed showed a
total of three hundred, with at
least five hundred wounded,
A small residue of two hun.

NAPOLEON BosApAarr was unable to carry

NAPOLEON BoNAPARTB was unable to carry
out, Is not likely to be executed by the
present French Republic.
The one certain outcome OF hostilitiea
between France and England would be that
France would lose all her insular colonies,
with the possible exception OF Madagascar,
all OF her warships that ventured out OF
fortified harbors and almost tho whole OF
her ocean-borne commerce, while the
utmost that she could do by way OF reprisal
would be to infliot some injury upon Eng
lands mercantile marine No government,
we may feel assured, however sympathizing
with the Anglophobia OF its supporters,
would venture to plunge France, single
handed, in a contest which would threaten
to be as disastrous to her at sea as was
the war Of 1870 on land. Suppose, how
ever, that the Gar could be induced by the
Russian military party to seize the present
opportunity for movement against Brit
ish India. There is no reason to suppose
that the so-called alliance between
France and Russia binds tho former
country to take part in an aggressive
war against Great Britain. In the absence
OF treaty obligation, 1t would DO an act
Of gross folly for a French Ministry to join
Russia in n venture, the gravest risks Of
which would have to be confronted by
France. As we have previously pointed
out. Russia might be deprived OF vladi-
vostock and Port Arthur, though it is by no
means certain that those strongly fortified
harbors would not DO able to resist naval
attack. France, on the other hand, II the
contest were prolonged, would be likely to
lose every island and coaling station which
she possesses on the globe. Then. again,
the Navy and the ocean-borne commerce Of
France are vulnerable points for which
there are no Russian equivalents. In a
word, France would burn her fingers,
WHILE II any chestnuts were secured, they
would fall to Russia's share exclusively.
We conclude, then, that, although NJ
MELINE or some other representative Of
anti-Revisionist sentiment may become
Premier tomorrow, and although the Rus
sian military party may possibly persuade
the Car to sanction a movement against
India, there is no likelihood that the French
Foreign Office will pursue any course likely
to embroil France with England.

Next Christmas.

To the inhabitants OF the United States at
large Christmas Of 500 was day long
TO be remembered. An advance in wages
in almost all industries or a promise of
advance sure Of realization, gave to this
Christmas n peculiar spirit OF great good
cheer. The trouble that fell upon many
through the smash OF speculative values
in Wall street was swallowed up In the good
fortune OF tho millions who benefited by
the mistaken Industrial prosperity.
While the recent festival is now but a
pleasant memory, it behooves US to pre-
pare to make the anniversary Of It to come
q year hence no less satisfactory.
The way to do 1t will be- so far as human
foresight can provide, to vote next Novem-
Der for the Presidential candidates OF the
party now in charge OF the Government.
This is not to say that our prosperity is
all OF Republican creation. but no shock to
1t conceivable could equal. in the existing
state OF politics, the result OF changing the
National Government from Republican to

National Bank Banking

The statement OF National Bank Exam.
liner D. G. VINO. published yesterday,
explaining the causes that led TO the down.
fall OF the Globe National Bank OF Boston
and his own action in connection with it
is most instructive document.
1t appears from Mr.. WINGS statement
that as long ago as Sept. 8 the Globe
Bank was in trouble. On that day, when
he examined the bank on behalf OF the
Comptroller ofthe Currency, he found $500,
900 OF Its checks outstanding which did
not appear on its books. This, the Pres!-
dent OF the bank admitted was n personal
loan to him. Not only was tho conceal.
ment OF the loan violation OF law, but the
loan itself was six times us great as the
law permits. The capital OF the bank being
sl,ooo,OOo, only one-tenth Of that amount
or 100000 could, according to the Ma
tional Bank act. be lent to one borrower
This being so. it became the duty OF the
Examiner to take proceedings at once to
forfeit the banks charter, but instead OF
doing it. he made, with the consent OF tho
Comptroller, an arrangement whereby
upon the President OF the bank resigning
his place, and one OF his friends guarantee
ing to the bank the repayment Of his 5000
900 loan. the bank was allowed to 20 on
In u few days the loan was, according to
the arrangement, fully repaid and the
banks assets bettered by $500, 900.
Further investigation, made a month
later, showed that there was 5000 600
more OF checks OF the bank outstanding not
on its books, and that another debtor. the
laval . h. 4,
more than its books showed Another
debtor, Mr.. SoUIREs besides owing the
bank more than the 500, 900 which the
law allows, had made overdraits to the
amount OF S525, 900. Still, the bank was
allowed to continue in business upon re-
ceiving from the retiring President, the six
directors OF the bank, and two other gentle
men, guarantee of the advances to Mr..
SQUIkEs and collateral security for those to
the Lowell Arms Company.
All these eXpcdents, however. proved nm
availing, and, us we know, the bank was
compelled, last Thursday to acknowledge
its insolvency It's stockholders will lose
everything, and its depositors will not be
pald the whole of amounts due them.
whether the result would have been more
favorable II the Comptroller OF the Currency
had done his full duty on Sept. ., when the
banks violation OF the National Bank act
was reported TO him, is, of course. n dis
putable question. Examiner COLE SAWS in
his own defence that ii the bank had been
closed then, il would have caused mot onlv
the failure OF that bank, but a so, by reason
OF It's relations to other banks, brokers and
business houses, the probable failure of
several important banking and business
hrms and individuals" This may have
been true, but it did no Justify

oil felony, AMI at all events Il was AFRO
gazing TO thsSomptroiler. OF the Currency

discretion which the law does not give
him. The paternal function OF protecting
from insolvency embarrassed debtors is no
part OF his Office. He Is 10 enforce the law
without fear or favor.
The whole affair adds one more to the
many proofs of the inexpedicncy Of main
tanning banking institutions under the
supervision OF the United States, instead OF
that OF the States individually. The Comp
troller OF the Currency has some three
thousand seven hundred banks to look after
and it is manfestly impossible that he
should do the work thoroughly. The only
ground for the existence Of his Office is the
fact that the national banks issue circulat-
ing notes; in all other respects their business
docs not In the least call for Federal super
vision. 1t is to be hoped that in time this
feature OF national bank banking will dis
appear, and then the National Bank act can
be repealed not only with safety but with
positive benefit 10 the community.
The Government should go out Of the
banking business!

Parks and Police.

For some inexplicable reason the New
York charter was made to consolidate the
police force specially organized for tho pro-
lection OF the parks, with the general police
OF the city. The Park Department lost its
immediate command Of the men most vital
to the protection OF its charge. An appeal
from tho Park Department to have the con-
troll of the Park police restored to 1t has come
later than was generally expected by those
to whom tho parks have been particularly
a study, but it has come, and II should be
respected by all other divisions OF the city
government, and needed by the Legsla-
turc.
Police Commissioner YoRK's criticism OF
Park Commissioner CLAUsESs views upon
the subject. quoted in THE Sun OF Sunday.
shows the propriety OF the changes pro-
posed. Mr.. YORK had his views as to the
nature of the instructions which should be
issued to the police serving in the parks,
and they conficted with Mr. CLAUsEN's
although the latter's were thoroughly
sound and most important to the preser-
walton OF the parks in public interest.
The fact that the Park Department can
not maintain in its own territory the
policy 1t approves because the police are
governed from outside Of it, shows that to
large extent the powers leg ally belonging
to the Park Commission are in effect vested
in the Commissioners OF Police. The mis-
laid authority ought to be put back where
1t belongs. and it is to be hoped that,
after little reflection, the Police Com
missioners will conclude to assist in bring
ing about the transfer.

The Attack.

The judgments OF the English journals
on the South African war continue to show
very dens' ignorance OF the true causes
OF the British failures and defeats. For
instance, the London Spectator OF the
18th attributes these to hurry TO 1.-The
demand for rapid action and the hurry
caused thereby" One consequence has
been, 1t says, that I've have always been
outnumbered in the field and so always
obliged to fight at disadvantage"
Now, there Is no evidence TO sustain such
an assertion. The indications rather are
that the Beers have been in inferior num-
bers and that their success in repelling
attacks, made in defiance OF the over
whelming advantage which modern arms
give TO the defence, was due to their
better understanding OF the consequent
revolution wrought in war, 30 that gen.
orally they were able to beat the British
with much smaller forces and relatively
triiing losses.
Another notable instance OF this igno-
rance is the serious heralding. by the Daily
NeDs OF London, OF the appointment OF an
English historian OF SToNEwALL JACKSON
to the staff OF Lord ROBERTS as an event OF
nlpn Importance. ne ID Ll6uC.-COl. HEN

Stunning that he will be able to apply them

African campaign. or personal experience
in actual war it does not appear that the
Professor-Colonel has had any. or modern
civilized warfare he may be assumed to be
ignorant. Col. HENDERSON seems rather
to be a literary soldier
SToNEwALL JACKSON was one OF the great
soldiers OF the world, man OF military
genius; and. moreover, the whole military
problem has been changed since his time
by the introduction OF rapid firing and long
range guns. Col. HENDERSON may prove OF
great service in the South African cam
paign, but it will not DO because he is the
historian OF SToNEwALL JACKSON. 1t will
be because he has in himself the resources
possessed so bountifully by that great
soldier.
