THE TARTAR CLEARED.
Position Of Our Government with
Respect TO Her Detention.


WASHINGTON. September H.-Clear-
ance papers have been allowed the Tar
tar, at Hongkong. 1t is expected that
she Will proceed to the United States at
once. The information that clearance had
been allowed came i'm dispatch TO Adj
jutant-Gcneral Corbin this morning from
Colonel Metcalfe commanding the Twen-
tieth Kansas and the other troops aboard
the troop transport. Another dispatch
from Colonel Metcalfe. I'm reply 70 one
sent yesterday, states that the Tartar
was no more overcrowded than other
transports, and the food was no less good
than that on other transports leaving
Manila. He said that the trouble arose
among the discharged regular soldiers.
who were returning home on beard the
ship
The incident is now regarded as closed.
II is learned at the State Department
that the representations made to Mr..
Choate. our Ambassador at London, on
this subject. were not i'm the nature Of
protest. The authorities here had con-
WINGED themselves that they had no right
to claim exemption for the Tartar from
the operation of British law in British
port. because the nationality of the ship
had not been changed to American by
the mere fact that she had been charter
ed for a certain specific duty by our OH
GERS But the basis of the application 10
the British Government was the fact that
the ship had been altered in her interior
arrangements since her original inspec-
ton and the issue Of the permit to carry
passengers, with the result that she IL
now fully in accord with the require
ments Of the British law. even with re-
spect to the comfort Of the 200 and OLA
troops on board. 1t is said at the State
Department that the Hongkong authori-
ties must also have taken this view, and
have acted voluntarily in releasing tho
ship. for there was not time before that
act for them 70 have heard from London.

Justice Brewer on Arbitration.

"The question for the next century is not the
question of power to KILL but power to save.
By Just such degree as the Venezuelan tribunal
shall commend itself to the impartial Judgment
of the great court of public opinion, by just SO
much will it help to advance the day when the
MIGHT Of the sword shall give way to the right
of the Judge. The principle of arbitration is
here to stay, and despite all opposition 1t Will
triumph. The conference at The Hague the
completed treaty between England and the
United States for permanent judicial tribunal
and the Venezuelan arbitration ale all prophetic
of ultimate success. The judge Will replace
the soldier and right will replace might"

Letter From Manila.

The following letter appeared in Farm, Stock

am not we'll and have been laid up for three
weeks. We have had much hard fighting, and
went through everything in sight, but lost lots
of men Pa, want you to write to the adju-
tam. general and see if you can get me dis
charge, for hear we will have to stay here
wear vet and don't believe can stand it, and
the rest of the boys think the same. General
Otis sends word to the president that the vol
unteers want to stay here, but that is false; not
one in fifty want to stay. We have tried every
way we can think to get our discharge, but ev-
cry effort is stopped. We sent a telegram but
it was stopped at Hong Kong. We have writ
ten many letters to our friends at home, but
they were opened and destroyed. We are in
hard luck, and don't believe I man out of 10
will live his two years out They have kept
the volunteers on the firing line since Feb. S,
and they let the regulars hold the places we
take and send us to the front of the battle. 1t
looks like they wanted to kill us all so they
won't have to send us home. They let us do
all the fighting because they don't have to re.
cruit us as they do the regulars. 1t looks like
money making scheme. Our colonel doesn't
want to go back, for that would reduce him to
a lieutenant in the regulars again, with much
less pay. He is brave man in battle but it
looks very bad for us. There was time when
we had only five men in our company on the
line, the rest were all sick; and General Otis
sent us doctor from the regulars, and he sent

EvadeS the Trust Issue,

A Washington dispatch says: "Several days
ago, the industrial commission suddenly decid
ed to drop the investigation OF trusts. Sur
prise was expressed, because the commissioners
seemed to have struck pay dirt. 1t cropped
out to-day that in turning from the trail of the
money devil the commissioners were simply
obeying orders Word was passed to them by
administration officials that they were not show
ing proper spirit of appreciation of the power
that appointed them by stirring up the trusts"
The word came from the administration head
quarters that they were annoying the trusts.
The industrial commission had stirred up and
shown the devilish deal of the Standard Oil
company.
Havemyer, a Republican, the king of the
sugar refinery, had disclosed that the protec-
tive tariff was the main cause of the trusts, and
made their existence possible; that 100000
travelling men were being discharged by the
combination of mercantile houses. All this
startled the administration and led to the sug-
geston that their inquiry be continued along
other lines. The trusts were the friends of the
Hanna Mckinley administration, and if they
were stirred up too much, they would not con-
tribute to their campaign in 1900 as they did
in I8o6.-Ottawa Republican.

GARNETT, KANSAS, JULY 2I, 1899.
A Startling Revelation.

Before me is Volume of the "Report of the
Comptroller of the Currency for the fiscal year
ending October 81, 1S9S." On page 81 ap-
pears condensed table of the ''resources and
liabilities of all national banks, other banks,
banking institutions, and private banks OF the
United States (9,4SS in number). Under the
head of Loans" which represents the face of
the notes held against the people for money
borrowed from the banks, the aggregate is $4,-
632,63s,oI5. Under the head of deposits"
which represents the amount of money (theo-
retically) on deposit in the banks, and subject
to sight check by the depositors, the aggregate
is $3,74I I,oa3,8 ,8o2. Under the head OF "Cash,
which represents the total amount of all mon
eys of every description, down to pennies, in
short, all of the actual money in the banks OF
the country, July 4, 1898 (when the report
was made), the aggregate is $6S77eo,174.
will ask your readers to review the forego-
ing figures, and make an analysis of the enor-
nous gulf existing between the 'loans" and
tdeposits' on the one hand, and the actual
cash on the other. Right here we note the fact
that the total amount of all United States mon-
ey in existence-gold, silver, gold and silver
certificates, greenbacks, national bank notes,
fractional currency, nickels, and pennies, out
side the vaults of the treasury and the legal re-
serves of the national banks-does not exceed
$1,2so, ,ooo, 900. How does it come, then, that
the bankers CT the country have loaned to the
people nearly four times as much money as
there is in the United States =? And how does
it come that there are 'deposits" in the banks,
subject to sight check, to about five times as
much money as there is in the country And
how does it come that the money-loaners OF the
nation are drawing interest on tour billions OF
nothing, and are literally getting rich on the
interest of their own debts
When the "panic' comes Gas come it must ,
and "con6tence" takes wings and flies away,
and all the bank depositors rush to the banks
to draw out their "dcposts," how much will
they get on the dollar If we deduct from the
amount of actual cash the legal tenders which
the law law requires the national banks to keep
intact, with which to redeem the outstanding
notes (1s per cent? and make reasonable al
owance for the average limit to which the
banks would allow the depositors to draw on
their cash before closing their doors, it is not
likely that depositors would realize more than
cents on the dollar-CHAS. BONSALI, Expert
Accountant, in Advance Guard, Findlay, O.

Ir is claimed by railroad managers that II all
the roads of the country belonged to one COM
pany, It would be comparatively an easy mat
ter to manage the question of freight rates, but
where there are so many roads, each operating

would be nothing but confusion and chaos SO
far as freight rates are concerned. So it would!
With all the roads under one management they
could then charge what rates they pleased and
