The money market is becoming
more important factor in both
mercantile and speculative circles.
Rates recently have shown tend
ency TO advance, and while the best
judges of the situation are confident
that nothing in the shape of tight"
money is at all probable, it is
conceded that the chances are the
banks at important centers will
continue to lose cash for the next
few weeks, though contraction of
loans ard reductions in deposits
may result in an increase of the
legal reserve. The weakness of
sterling exchange indicates clearly
that the power of this country to
draw on the foreign markets is not
exhausted, and SO long as this state
of affairs continues anything like
a stringency will be out OF the
question.

The Filipinos, armed with the
Mauser rifle, and supplied with
smokeless powder, have an advan-
tage over American troops, using
the antiquated Springfield rides,
and can take ''pot-shots" with i'm
punity. The only way to over
come this disadvantage is for the
American army to force the fight
ing, attacking wherever there are
any armed Fihpinos before them.
Valor and discipline are even better
than improved modern firearms,
but it is not a little humiliating
that the slowness of this govern
ment TO avail itself of Improvements
in everything pertaining TO the art
of war should put American sol
diers at disadvantage in contest
with any foe, and especially with
the semi-civilized Filipinos.

Prohibition And The Drink Evil.

Prohibition And The Drink Evil.
When Bishop Potter declared in
favor of fit substitute for the
saloon, which he described as "the
poor mans club" he was criticised
in severe terms by leading church
dignitaries and prohibitionists.
Nevertheless, however, the humane
and able New York prelate was
concurred with by many people at
the time he made his dictum-by
no means an original one, surely
and anything that has been said
against it or the bishop has caused
no modification of this sympathy.
Bishop Potter has been so persist
entlya and perversely misrepresented
that he has been moved to make Il
vigorous, if rather caustic, defense
of his position.
1t is a matter of regret that the
Bishop allowed his Indignation to
incite him into violent and unjust
assaults upon the prohibitionists.
He states truism when he terms
the prohibitory system from Maine
to Kansas as 'grotesque hypoc-
risy," but he erred and was unfair
in impugning the good faith and
honesty of those who champion the
system. The prohibitionists GER
tainly do not view conditions as
they exist, but Notwithstanding
this fact, they are unquestionably
acting from sincere conviction and
noble impulse. To use Bishop
Potter's words, they may "hold
one meager fragment Of truth to
their eyes and deny great and fun
damental facts in human nature, ="
but this does not warrant the charge
that, like the scribes and pharisees,
they are arrogant, ignorant, un-
scrupulous and untruthful."
Prohibition is not the proper
remedy for the terrible drink evil,
which is demonstrated by the fact
that where tried it has produced
effects far worse than those it was
designed to extirpate. The Bishop
manifests the practical as well as the
philanthropic qualities of his mind
when he advocates the establish
ment of poor mems clubs free from
the demoralizing characteristics of
the saloon. He intelligently and
firmly grasps the problem when he
declares that in dealing with the
perverted instincts and appetites
of humanity we must bear in mind
that there is no single, sovereign
panacea for so vast a mischief as
the saloon and all its implications.
Prohibition is suffering a decline,
and the far-sighted and sympa-
thetic are gradually coming to the
realization that the saloon is fed
by evils having a deeper root, and
need the attention of constructive
craftsmanship. But those who
grapple with the larger problems
should not be lax in extending the
credit due to the forerunners in
the movement. The prohibition
lists have performed commendable
service in arousing the public con-
science, and the ultimate solution
will in no small measure be due to
their earnestness and devotion.

No Condemnation Was Called For,

Chief of Police Dolan states that
there was nothing irregular in the
service of several members of the
police force assisting Harvey
L. Vandegrift, superintendent Of
the Wilmington City Railway Conn
pany, and an officer of the State, in
quelling the embryo riot at Shellpot
Park Sunday morning, and that the
sentiment expressed against ths
police department because of its
officers figuring in the trouble. 10
uncalled for and wholly unfair.
Mr.. Vandegrift applied to the de.
partment for assistance and as a
state officer, was allowed two depu-
TIED officers to assist him in break
ing up the riot. 1t would indeed be
a dangerous precedent that would
prevent police officers from acting
as assistants to state officers in
quclling trouble outside of the city
limits.

to state that no one is allowed to
sell a dollars worth of produce
there who is not a bona fde citizen
of those cities. All produce landed
at those cities has to 60 into tho
hands of citizens of those cities.
The Jerseymen are only allowed to
come to the wharves and unload,
they are not permitted to sell bas-
ket of their produce. | assure our
authorities, if they will make and
enforce such laws and ordinances
for Wilmington, as exist in Phila-
delphia and Chester, we have re-
sponsible local dealers who will
handle all the Jersey produce and
pay the city one dollar per hundred
baskets and melons and barrel
produce in proportion, and continue
as they are now doing, pay house
rent, store rent, taxes, and spend
their money for living right here
in your city. With no axe to grind
in the matter, and the most friendly
feeling towards all citizens OF our
Sister State, | merely state facts as
| know them to exist. Yours truly,
GEO. W. SPICER.
