SOMEONE has criticised Kaiser Bill
for cowardice In not receiving grand
old Paul Kruger Why friends II he
had done that be would have offended
old grandma Victoria Guelph. You
forget that the matter of country, OF
nationality, Of language and laws,
have nothing to do with the govern
ments of Europe, Governments there
are not by countries or peoples or any
thing of that sort. They are by mem
bers Of the great governing, royal fam
lily who are Of no blood or nationality,
but of q blood all their own, brought
about by more crossing and twisting Of
pedigrees, more mixing of strains than
could be registered in the American
stud book. Occasionally the heads
of these respective nations conclude to
have little sport and marshal their
armies to do battle and slaughter and
kill, about with such feelings as two or
three sportive cousins would train
their favorite ROSTERS in the pit on a
wager. There is some satisfaction any
way TO think that, rs yet, in some re-
spects America Is not quite so gorg-
eous an old fool rs our other "clvilized"
countries.

1HE w. Q. I. U. have proposed az
an amendment to some bill or other
that the sale of any intoxicating liquor
to any of the aboriginese Of the Pacific
islands shall be prohibited. They have
also secured champion for their
measure in LittleIleld of Maine who is
Tom Reeds successor. While this
amendment was conceived for its real
merit and without thought Of political
effect, its results will be eagerly
watched by partisans to see how the
great morality party will treat 1t. The
effects of alcoholic stimulants on the
natives when they take up the custom
of using them, is much more destruc-.
tive than among Americans, The ma
tive Filipnos have never used alco-
holic beverages 1t is one Of the be-
loved topics Of the Scoifers at this grand
propaganda Of liberty and civilization,

them in general terms long ago. But

however will be perceived ar appreci'
ated by the discerning readers as well

are the society notes which burden the
cOlums of most dailies and some week
lies, where two pages, more or less are
used up in telling how MIR. and Mrs

pointment was complete, and so on

TIE w. c. Y. u, Of Indianna have
petitOned Congress to enact u
law to prohibit the sale Of adul-
terated liquors at all saloons and to
provide suitable penalties for the viola
tion Of the statute, This is rather a
new shoot for this body to take and we
are of the opinion that it is one of the
most practical lines for remedial legis-
lation, If the law we're strictly en-
forced, and the federal government
has a way Of enforcing laws that the
smaller subdivisions do not have, 1t
would very largely remove the great
est stimulant to the sale of liquor,
that Of profit, There is without doubt
very large proportion of saloons
that could not afford to
take out license and do busin-
ess were 1t not for the Illicit profit
made by the adulteration of their Ii
quors. If all reports are true, and the
word Of our old people is to be relied
upon the vicious, murderous effects of
modern liquor are largely to be attri-
buted to its adulteratlon, Such a law
as that proposed by the Indiana ladies
would not in any way interfere with
the operation of any of the other laws
Of prohibition o. restraint now in force
upon the trallc. and as its result would
no doubt be good for the public, and
could injure no one but the liquor
trust and the adulterating dealers, it is
difficult to see how any objection can
be raised to the passage of such a bill.
But there will be plenty of them,

increase of Circulation.

By exchanging their present bonds de- posted to secure circulation flor the new 2 per cents the national banks of Alabama can increase their circulation 10 per cent, and at the same time they can reduce the tax on their circulation. The new law Also permits them to increase their drcu- lation at any time whereas under the old law they could only increase circulation after six months had elapsed from a de- crease in circulation,
 Between these provisions which benefit the existing and the larger banks, and the provision that permits the organiza- tion of s25,O0o banks in small towns, it is very likely the national bank currency sgbly, 1t wfi be doubled. The gain in Cofmb bus, Ga., is S15,OOO, and what is con- sadered advantageous in Columbus will doubtless be considered advantageous on this side of the Chattahooche.
 As the national bank system may now be considered a permanency, it is req sonai5le to assume that many state banks will become national banks The thirty year 2-per-cent bonds mean that tne sys- tenn is to last that length of time. But there is room still for state banks be- cause national banks cannot accept real estate mortgages, and cannot accept Nother securities adapted to agriultura set.ons. The state banks are by no means aboi- ished. although the national banks are handsomely promoted by the sold-standard biA. The strongest point of the national system consists in its rigid examinations and regulations and pubSicity. national bank Is not only examined without mo- tice, but it is required from time to time ta publish a statement Of its condition.
