A 10. of excited citizens got to-

It is said that our own ex-Gov
Stone is being groomed to defeat
Bryan before the Democratic nation-
al convention. This paper would be
glad to see the honor, empty as it ia
likely to be, CONC to Missouri, and
has no hesitation in saying that Stone
is in every way the better IMAM and
would be the stronger candidate.
Bryan's free-silverism and socialism,
together with his Bourbonisn, make
dangerous combination and one
that tho people will not look upon
with any more favor than they did
four years ago when he was one of
the worst defeated men who ever ran
for the presidency.

(From our own Correspondent ;.

trfOm our own C0ffeap0ndent.)
The statement that favoritiam has
been shown by the Treasury Depart
ment in making deposits of public
money, is about as absurd as could
be. Every single solitary bank which
has deposited bonds, as required by
law, and has asked for deposits, has
received them to the full amount
warranted by the deposits. There
are now $50 banks having public
moneys on deposit, aggregating over
$96, 100000. Not single complaint
has been received by the Treasury
from any bank or commercial associ-
alton of any sort or description, be-
cause all::are familiar with the Treas
urY methods of doing business. The
only .kickers" are the yellow Jour-
nails, who are malicious. aud q por-
ton of the Democratic press Of the
country, which is ignorant. Tho
amount of money deposited is usually
from z5 to 95 per cent of the par
value of the bonds held by the Treas
ury as security. The largest share
has gone TO New York becanse the
banks there have deposited the most
bonds. For instance, the National
City bank, over which has been so
much bother, has deposited over
$l7,00O,0O0 in bonds; the Hanover
bank, over 100000; the National
Bank of Commerce, the Western
National, the Chase, and Fret Ma
tional, have deposited from 81 $780,
600 to $4,000. 900 each. No Chicago
bank has deposited more than $780,
OOO, aud no other city has as much
Nearly 40 per cent. of the national
baaks OF tl.e country have not asked
for deposits. The Department is
onIy too anxious that they should do
40, in order to keep the Treasury
from becoming clogged, aud the
country from suffering from strin-
gency. During the Spanish war, for
instance, the surplus increased by
about $4,000. 600 in six months, be-
cause the banks could not SECURE
bonds to deposit.

elusive control over any inter-oceanic
canal, and any objection raised by
Crest Britain might have an unfortu-
nate effect in blocking the work, At
least for time. But there is good
authority for the statement that.
Great Britain informed the United
States some time ago, that che would
raise no objection to our controlling
the canal, If we made it neutral In,
time of war, and to this the United
States assented. A ssneutral" canal
does not mean that the enemies Of
this country must be permitted free
passage in time OF war. Quite the
contrary. IF the United States is at
war, it will be entitled to hold the
canal against its enemies while using
it itself. and the only way that an
enemy's vessels can pass through, will !
be by capturing the canal from u.s.
But it does mean shat we shall per-
init the ships of both belligerents, In
war in which the United States has
no part, to pass on entirely equal
terms. We will be in duty bound to
guarantee the safety Of any warship
passing through the canal, aud to.
prevent fighting within three miles
of eitber of its entrances. Wo will
even probably be held liable to pro.
vent belligerent's warship from.

ance Of m enemY's vessel, though.
this is somewhat uncertain. The
United States will fortifY both ends
Of the canal in the strongest way, and
will see that neutrality is respected.

The administration will resist all
efforts to reduce war taxes in the
smallest degree, until IL is decided
by Congress how much it proposes
to increase the expenses Of the
country. The Nicaraguan Canal will,
it is hoped, become law within SO
days. Ifso, it will cost altogether
something like 100000. 900 say
500, 100000 year for seven years.
The shipping bill, if passed, as also
seems probable, will cost at least
from $7.500.000 to 100000 a year
for twenty years. This will eat up
most of the annual surplus even if no
other costly measures are enacted.
AT the same time, it must be said
that the opposition to most of the
stamp taxes is growing stronger day
by day. The ones especially objected
to are those OH telegrams, checks.
promissory notes. express receipts
and SO on - all papers tO which the
public lie required to affix the stamps.
These taxes bring in very little reve-
nue. when tho amount Of trouble they
cause is considered, and most of them

repeal them would be to bring pres-

SpIendidiy Generous.

The Post-Inteiiigencer thanks and
congratulates the people OF Seattle
and the state of Washington for their
noble generosity TO the sufferers at
Galveston. Less than two weeks ago
we made our appeal and opened our
subscription lists. Within that short
time more than 5000 has been given
and forwarded to that scene of death
and desolation. 1t is a splendid OUT
pouring of generosity, and we are more
than ever proud OF our people. The
fund is now closed. though any contri-
buttons received hereafter win be for
warded to Galveston.
It was a distant community, one not
connected with us by business or other
ties. that suffered the awful shock OF

OF humanity was between u.s. Not

too much the devotees of mere COM
mercialism. 1t could not matter one
penny's worth to Seattle whether she
sent single dollar TO the Galveston
sufferers or not. Yet this city. whose
population Is comparatively small and
whose resources are far less than the
demand upon them, gives more than
$1,000. freely. gladly and spontaneously.
High on the list Of American cities
do we stand in this noble work, COM
pairing our situation, our population.
our wealth with theirs We say ii not
as stimulus to pride, for he who helps
his neighbor does only his plain and
simple duty; but with that warming
of the heart which comes in the press
ence of generous deed. Our people
have done bravely, have helped the
suffering even beyond the measure of
their gift, have honored themselves
and served humanity. Ever giver is
the happier for 1t; and the blessedness
of giving covers Seattle as well as Gal
