The Quantities.

From the Baltimore American.
We're the sixty-seven citizens of Guam.
And We do not care tough old tinkers
caramba
For the blooming world around US.
Cause great happiness has found US,
And we emulate the unresisting clam.
We are dark but peaceful sons of Uncle
Sam.
(Sixty-seven Of US here in lovely GuamD
And Wen have no insurrection:
No; for even an election
Would be fraught with naught except a
happy calm.
We dwell together here in peace and love,
And when Capt. Peter Leary comes as
Gov.
We shall hasten down TO meet him.
And with cocings sweet we'll greet him.
Which the same we learn from dodo bird
and dove.
There's trouble in the tousled Philippines,
But We Guamites never know what trou-
bic means;
Happier folks there isn't any.
And we haven't got a penny,
Cause we never mad pocket in our jeans.
We're the sixty-seven citizens Of Guam.
And we do not care a most emphatic
Cbass drum0
Just who knows it, but we're happy,
And we never win be scrappy
Cause we like our new relation, Uncle
Sam!

WILL PRECEDENT BE IGxoREDf

VIII Senator quay have sufficient infiu-
ence when the time comes for the Senate
10 act upon his case to get the Republi-
can majority to overdue all the preced-
ents-precedents which nave kept other Re
publicans out of the Senate who were ap-
pointed under precisely the same condi-
tons under which he was appointed-and
give him the seat he claims? 1t Is said
by well informed Republican leaders that
it would not be surprising If all preced-
ents were swept aside and Quay received
by his brother Republicans in the Senate
with open arms. II that should be done
the country would be justified in coming
20 the conclusion that the Republicans
are willing and ready to sacrifice the best
interests OF society and the country TO
promote party ends. The question as to
whether Senator Quay is guilty or not OF
the charges which have been made against
him in the courts of his state has nothing
to do with the question. The simple ques-
tion is whether Senator Quay, because he
is an influential political boss, is to be
granted a concession denied to others who
occupied a position exactly like that
which ne nows occupies. If that is 10 be
done by the highest legislative body in the
country there will be ample ground for
despairing of the future of the republic.
The idea IS being thrown out that the
Republican leaders are afraid Of him
afraid that if he is not permitted TO have
his way he will throw the state OF Penn
sylvania against The Republican party in
the presidential election. It is said that
he Is very hostile to the President be-
cause the latter didn't prevent the news
paper controlled by the Postmaster Gen
eral from taking strong sides against him
in his recent trial. There may be some
thing in this talk. II there is the Repub-
licans leaders must have very little conf
dence IN the Republlcanism of the Re-
pubhcans OF Pennsylvania.

1t appears that in Chicago. also. there
are street cars without tenders; and on
Thursday last two little children were kill
ed by them, while on the day before one
little child suffered death in a similar
manner Naturally there is considerable
agitation in Chicago to force the company
owning the fenderless cars to provide those
reasonable and proper safeguards 90 life

ton in Savannah, and 1t should not cease
or let up until every car in service is
provided with a satisfactory fender.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Commenting on the acquittal of the
Lake City lynchers the Charleston News
and Courier Dem.) says: IAN the evil
dence was one way, and against the de-
PENDANTS. but the evidence had nothing to
do with the failure of the jury to act
That was Influenced by considerable
apart from the testimony in the case. No
one expected that the jury would find a
verdict OF guilty it would not have been
surprising had the jury found a verdict
of not guilty, its failure to agree 10 a
verdict must be regarded as a distinct
advance in public thought and conscience.
Five white men out of twelve in South
Carolina holding to the end for
the administration of justice. according to
the evidence, is a triumph for order and
a promise of better things in the future
Justice will not be done until the Lake
City lynchers are punished"
The Hartford Comm Times (Dem.)
says: The action of Quays Governor
Stone, in appointing" him United States
senator on the day after the adjournment
of the legislature without an election, is a
fragrant defiance of all the rights and
prophecies of the case. 1t is an impudent
impertinence to the United States Senate
body. IL disregards a provision of the
state constitution which requires the Gov
ernor to summon the legislature TO meet
and elect whenever a vacancy has hap
pened. II is a revolutionary, INSCRIPTIONS
proceeding, and a Governor should be i'm
peached for such conduct"
The Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.)
says: The decision of a circuit Judge
that the law against vagrancy is uncon-
sttutional on the ground that slavery or
Involuntary servitude. except as a pun
ishment for crime, is abolished, assumes
that vagrancy is not a crime. Now crimes
are divided into felonies and misdemean-
ors and the statute against vagrancy
makes IL "a high misdemeanor." At the
same time 1t must be owned that the man
who buys a vagrant generally gets the
worst OF IT,"
The Birmingham Age-Herald Oem)
says: The volunteers at Manila desire
TO be mustered out there. thus receiving
travel pay FOR 1900 miles. instead OF
transportation, and enabling them TO make
the grand tour Of Europe, and come home
as cabin passengers,"

Those Philadelphia counterfeiters who
were captured BY the federal secret ser
vice men the other day were artists n
crime as well as in engraving ana print
ing. It appears that 10 was actually their
purpose TO make Unc-e sam circulate their
bogus notes. The plan was that some So
00o.0o0 Of bogus money should be printed
and pun up in packages just like those
used in the. t1easury. Then s,me trusted

how the transfer between the den Of the

was to be made is not quite clear, but

ed on to make that easy, Had the scheme
been consummated. it would have been
one OF the most sensational robberies in
criminal history; but the secret service
detectives were too smart for the counter

Take the printing press: the first tyne

presses, printing from a roll, were consld-
erably smaller. but as compared with the

enormous. And In mechanism. the new

LOST BANK NOTES.
tsnrce of Revenue from Paper That
Disappears--MiiliOn from
Nothing.

1t is a fact, that TO many minds, no
doubt. must be curious, that the Bank
It England has always had a pretty
steady source Of profit in the loss and
destruction of its bank notes. What
it has gained of late years in this way
we are unable to say, but during a
period Of 40 years preceding 1892 the
bank had made clear profit of el,-
5000 from outstanding paper never
likely to be presented for payment.
When the destruction or the irrecov-
cradle loss Of a note can be proved, as
in the event Of a fire or @ wreck it can
the bank Of course will always pay
the money It represents; and even
when there Is doubt about il the cash
is paid. on security being given for In
dPmnifying the bank should the note
ever be presented. The 100000 worth
of paper-or 100000, as it appears to
have been reduced to-taken from
PARIS bank will therefore not repre-
sent loss unless the crisp little billets
have some day to be duly honored at
the Bank of England counter In that
case the cash paid in exchange for
them will have TO come out of the cof-
fers OF the r,undered bank.
Many years ago a bank director lost
note for 10000. But, being q man
OF credit, and as there was no doubt
about the loss of the bill, he gave the
usual indemnity and got the money.
Many years after, when the man had
long been dead, the paper was present
ed. 1t was payable on demand, and
had come from abroad in the ordinary
way of business, and the sum it repre-
scented had to be handed over, and as
the indemnity that had been given was
repudiated by the heirs Of the man
who had given It, and for some reason
could not be enforced, the bank on
that occasion had to put 100000 on
the debit side of the account. Fol
once in way they paid double honor
to a bit of their own paper.
There is another story Of sum OF
10000 which the bank in its early
days for a short time refused TO hand
over in exchange for its own notes
4 They were presented by a jew, whose
assertion that he had bought them wal
= not disputed and whose personal in
tegrity was above suspicion. They
had, however, undoubtedly beer
, stolen, and on that ground the banl
refused TO pay the money. The Jew
went out into the city and began Il
spread II abroad that the bank wa
shaky and couldn't cash his notes, ant
! as he backed his assertion by display
ing his indisputable paper the asser
4 tion would in all probability soon hav
d caused a run on the bank. In a few
e minutes n messenger came to say tina
