REFUNDING THE PUBLIC DEBT.

The most important difference between
the house currency bill and the measure
of the senate finance committee is the
provision in the latter for refunding a
large portion of the interest bearing
public debt. The senate bill proposes
that the secretary of the treasury shall
have power to receive, Eat valuation
to yield an income of "a per cent per
annum, any of the outstanding bonds
of the United States bearing interest
at per centum per annum, payable
February l, 1904; any of the bonds of the
United States bearing interest at per
centum per annum, payable July, 1907,
and any bonds of the United States
bearing interest at 3 per centum per
annum, payable August /, 19OS,' and
to give in exchange therefor bonds
bearing . per cent interest, payable
quarterly the principal to be payable
at the pleasure OF the United States
after thirty years from the date of
their issue, both interest and principal
of such new bonds TO be paid in gold
coin of the present standard value. The
bonds which 1t is proposed to refund
amount in the aggregate to $S50,0O0, 900
at par and to S950000,00 at their pres
ent market price.
1t il understood that the refunding
provision is approved by the secretary
of the treasury and will be strenuously
;ne II I,n tn an
committee, in which event it may prove
an obstacle to the financial legislation
proposed by the house, delaying If it
shall not defeat such legislation. So far
as there has been any public discussion
of the refunding proposition II has met
with little favor 1t is pointed out that
although the bill makes no provision fo'
paying commissions to the intermed-
aries in the exchange proposed. yet
there is no doubt ingenuity enough
among the financers of the country TO
devise means for taxing some toll upon
the exchange. But the more important
consideration urged against il is that
If carried out II will at once add $780,
100000 to the principal of the national
debt and put the redemption of $780,
0O0,000 of the debt beyond possibility
for thirty years. "What the saving in
interest will be during those thirty
years. says one of its critics, sis a nice
problem in arithmetic, which is further
complicated by the uncertainty of the
future, Certainly there will be no saving

chinery In England.
Philadelphia Record
The American consul (Rufus Fleming) al
Edinburgh has contributed to the November
issue of the United States Consular Reports
an interesting and timely paper on "Ameri-
can Machinery in the, United Kingdom" Mr.
Fleming has interviewed several skilled op-
eratives who have had an opportunity OF
becoming practically acquainted during the
past few years with the use of machine tools
imported from this country. His paper is
composed principally Of stenographc reports
OF the statements of these experts and all
of the authorities speak in highly COM
mandatory terms Of the American machines.
The extraordinary capacity OF the turret
lathes, screw cutting machines, iron planning
machines and other tools purchased in this
country far exceeded the expectations of the
buyers.
There was a general impression in Great
Britain that many of the claims made re-
garding the work of American tools were
doubt on this score has been set at rest and
the natural result is that English manu-
facturers have not only been importing enor-
nous quantities of American tools in the
past couple of years, but English tool makers
are now serviely initiating the American
designs. Like all limitations. however, the
English tools made after the American pat
terms lack something that the originals pos
sess. 1t is a rather curious fact that 1t Is
almost impossible for a highly skillful en-
graver to initiate exactly a bank note and
it is almost as difficult for one maker OF
machinery to initiate exactly the productions
of another. One of the English experts in
terviewed by the United States consul says;
Even the mCst conservative manufactur-
ers in this country are now convinced, or are
beginning to realize, that they can no longer
afford to do without at least moderate per-
centage OF American general machinery, in
addition to the common machine and other
tools which have been adopted everywhere,
A great disqualification which much of the
British machinery has, in addition to its
being slow TO work with Is its unnecessary
weight, 1t is often absurdy heavy. | may
say without reservation that machinery Of
every description is invariably made lighter
in the United States than in Great Britain.
= The American designers and makers
seem to have a happy faculty OF properly
lightness with strength and dura-
bility in machinery OF all kinds As
to durability II lasts as well as any in the
world A fiber machine which my employers
got from the United States eleven months

ten hours day every week day,

1t has never been for moment in the
slightest degree out OF order and has never
cost us farthng in repairs, but has uni
formly run without hitch and has at all
times done its work faultlessly"
This is high praise but Is not more fatter-
ing than the commendation which is accorded
to various other peculiarly American ma
chimes

"pIG STICKING" IN WAR.

New York World: 1t is hardly necessary
to remark that there was no "pig-sticking
or other form OF murder OF prisoners at
Stormberg. The Beers are not sufficiently
civilized TO make war in that 'gentlemanly
fashion.
Philadelphia North American; The CEN
sored dispatches from English sources are
filled with protests against the alleged bru-
tality Of the BoeIs. They are charged with
shelling the hospitals. firing on the Red
Cross surgeons and with many other acts
of barbarity. But when English soldiers
boast Of having driven their lances through
wounded Beers. who were begging for
mercy, we fail to hear any indignant com
ment from the English press or people over
such shocking exhibitions OF savagery.

would be bad enough coming from blood
thirsty Zulus proud of their merciless use
of the assegais with which they transfiX
their enemies, regardless OF their piteous
calling for mercy" But from the soldiers
OF England, THE missionary nation" IL is
appalling in its frank confession Of ruthless
methods of warfare. The story is one that
may not be read with satisfaction BY any
man proud Of the English blood in his veins
1t should not be possible as told OF people
so brave and fair-minded as the English are
wont to be.
Philadelphia Ledger: The London papers
publish letters from their regular cor
respondents at the scene Of the war in South
Africa and from British soldiers who are
participating in the campaign that confirm
the allegations of the Beers that after the
battle of Elandslaagte the Fifth British
Lanccrs massacred sixty burghers who had
thrown down their arms. One officer writes
to the London Times that most excellent
pig sticking ersued for about ten minutes
the bag being about sixty" 4 dragoon
corporal says that the Beers cried for
quarter, but 1--WE just gave them a dig as
they lay" Another trooper says that the
defeated burghers fell on their knees for
mercy, "but we were told not to give them
any, and can assure you they got none"
This is bloodthirstiness unworthy of the
painted savage. II is a repetition of the
slaughter inflicted upon the wounded
dervishes at Omdurman by the forces of
General Kitchener. The excuse offered for
the cruelties practiced in the Soudan was
that the enemy were so treacherous even
when apparently dying, that their killing
was a necessity. No such preteXt can be
put forth in defense of the dastardly con-
duct OF the Fifth Lancers They practiced
warfare against Christian foe,
and have earned for themselves the eXecra-
tion of mankind

DEMOCRACY,s POsT-MORTEM.
Disgust and Dependency Voiced by
Party Leaders.


st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A frightened New York democratic paper
puts few embarrassing questions to leading
democrats and these have brought out some
queer replies. 1t asks them why it happens
that there is not a democratic governor at
the present time in any northern state and
why no northern state has a single demo-
cratic representative in the senate. 1t wants
to know what is the cause OF all this demo-
cratic effacement and what is the remedy.
Senator Tillman lays his party's overthrow
to "the efforts OF the democratic party to
press silver as an issue" and to the free
use of money in northern elections" Sena-
tor Berry attributes the democratic disasters
to the fact that "the democratic party too
frequently goes off on tangent and takes
the unpopular side OF the controversy" and
to the fact that "our party is not so close
to the pulse OF the people as it might be-"
Neither of these democratic sages seems to
have any expectation Of change in this
condition of things. Il see no immediate
hope for a reunited democracy" says Berry,
"but this congress may develop new issues
upon which the party can nnd common
ground for coming together and working in
harmony"
The note OF disgust and dependency run.

the most bumptious and confident men in the
country and when he sees further disaster
ahead Tor his party, as he evidently does the
outlook for the democracy must be black in

democrat comedies. Meanwhile the demOc-
racy will continue to grope for an issue on
which il can appeal to the country Win a
show OF meeting something else than the
popular derision or execration. That Is the
meaning OF Senator Berry's vague hope ths,
congress may develop new issues" on which
the party can get together. This il
