New YOrk's Public Spirit.

There is urgent demand in New York that
the naval arch, or Dewey ARCH as 1t was
originally called. in Madison square, be
torn down. Erected temporary monu-
ment and Of the f1imsiest materials, 1t
shows the effects of time and weather so
that 1t is today anything but a beautiful
object. and. in fact. is q menace to safety,
for no one would be surprised II 1t should
fall at any time of it's own weight.
That the Dewey arch was thing OF
beauty and an adornment to the city was
thoroughly realized and. carried away by
the enthusiasm of the moment, the people
of New York at once started fund to
perpetuate the arch in marble as an en-
during monument to the American navy In
the war with Spain. The idea took immedi-
ate hold, committees were appointed in the
same old way and the treasurer announced
that his books were open and contributions
were expected to pour in at such rate
that only those who subscribed early would
have chance to participate in the glorious
undertaking.
But when it came to giving the money
New York's enthusiasm had chill. Serv-
ing on committees and subscribing to funds
are very different matters in New York,
and the naval arch fund has dragged along
in the most pitiable way. Every effort has
been made to appeal to the public spirit OF
New York's people. but in vain. At this
late day less than a third of the necessary
amount has been subscribed. fully a third
of the members of the citizens committee
even have not given a dollar, and since
May 3 the collections have amounted to
just $500. The men who are interested in
the undertaking are at loss to know
what to do next. They are talking OF an
exhibition in New York of the American
paintings that are now on view at the Paris
exposition, and plans for another big con-
cert and other entertainments may be re-
vived, but all idea of raising the money
without giving something in return seems
to have been abandoned. Some concession
has to be made to the commercial spirit of
the town. All of which is sad common
tary on the lack of public spirit so often
noted in the metropolis of this great coun-

ThOuRhts for the Thrifty.

The president of the Greenwich Savings
Bank of New York, one of the largest in
situations of the sort in the country, enter
tains some very strong ideas as to how the
depositors in savings banks should cast
their votes at the coming election. There
are about 5OOO.OOO savings accounts in the
United States, amounting to $500, CO., 900.
The president of the Greenwich Savings
Bank naturally thinks that the question of
the integrity of the national currency is of
the greatest Importance to all depositors,
and he has written an open letter to them,
in which he says:
Il was handed this morning by our treas
savings bank book, which showed
that the depostor had put into this bank
during the year 1870 $40: in 1875, $3.50: in
1883 the depositor had withdrawn 500, but
the amount of interest credited against his
deposit of 1890. less the 500. was $1I00.
Considering the low rate of dividend paid
by the bank 1t seems remarkable that the
original sum should have earned so much
interest.
This is a good example of what thrift
on the part Of the people really accom-
plishes: and the owner of this bank book
can withdraw these moneys today in United
States currency, exchangeable into the gold
of any country on the face Of the globe on
the parity Of An American gold dollar.
Bryans silver policy means If put into OPP
Grafton. that this depositor could withdraw
his principal and interest In legal tenders
or national bank notes convertible into gold
at so cents on the dollar What pity 1t is
that the voters among 5000 900 Of savings
bank depositors throughout the country
cannot understand these conditions as they
really exist
Not all of the depositors In savings banks
are voters. A large majority are women
and minors. and the loss of any part of
their savings would be serious matter.
The people of the country as whole in the
ratio of about to 16 are depositors in saw
ings banks. What they ought to think of
the ratio of Ii to is a problem that does
not seem very hard to solve.

the republicans may be and should be

the republicans may be and should be
thwarted:
1--WE feel these crimes can be prevented.
believe that IL our people will form vigil
country, make careful lists Of all legal vot-
ers and then take a position Inside the
booths when the counting Is In progress
and see that there is no false count made
and that the votes cast for the democratic
ticket are not counted for republican candi-
dates and that there is an honest return,
we will sweep the country from one end to
the other and the republicans will not be
able to carry eight states in the Union
Is this a proposition to redshirt the coun-
try on the night Of election? Are bands OF
toughs with no excuse for organization but
this charge Of an agitator, to surround the
polling places, and. under the pretext Of
insisting on a fair count. force a false one?
Mr.. Altgeld says I'VE feel" Does he mean
that Mr.. Tillman of South Carolina, Gov
ernor-elect Aycock Of North Carolina and
Mr.. Croker Of New York share this anxiety
as to the suffrage with him? And do they
approve Of the plan he presents for securing
a count favorable to Mr.. Bryan?
1t may be indeed that, after all. Mr.. Alt
geld Is but the mouthpiece In this matter
for others. The plan may not have origi-
mated with him. He may merely have ap-
proved it and announced it. 1t may have
grown out Of conference between Mr. Till
man and Mr.. Aycock. They are experts at
safeguarding the suffrage. Mr.. Tillman has
boosted in the open Senate Of his SKILL and
Mr.. Aycock has but recently given convinc-
ing evidence Of his. Their plans are the
same. and both have worked to a charm.
1t is as easy for a camel to pass through
the eye Of a needle as for a republican to
enter into Office in either of the Carolinas
now. So why not spread this plan over the
country? Why not try to secure national
results by process which has answered
very satisfactorily in state affairs?
Was 1t this then that the gentleman from
North Carolina said to the gentleman from
South Carolina? I'VE must have fair cleo
lions. We must see that votes are counted
as cast. We must safeguard the suffrage
though the heavens fall" The idea is per-
suasive, though the plan is put forward by
Mr.. Altgeld and smacks also of his way OF
doing business.

Appealing to Cowardice.

One of the most curious betrayals by the
antl-imperialist mind of it's character
and condition is it's use of casualty lists a 9
an argument for changing the national
policy. No man and no nation entitled to a
respectable place in society or in history
has ever been scared out of q course of
conduct imposed by circumstances or de-
ifberately chosen with a full recognition of
remote as well as present interests.
Whether the use of force is justifiable or
not must be determined in each case by
other considerations: the anti-imperalists
are the only persons who ever appealed
openly to- cowardice to control individual
or national action.
