Injustice Has Its Way.

Chicago Journal tInh- Rep)
qualification has won at Washing
ton. That is the mildest possible
word for it. Some people will prefer
to call it treachery, breach of trust. or
some other hard name, but where a
case of morals is concerned, stultifica-
ton is bad enough. The administra-
ton party has helped the president
reverse himself. and furnished the OPP
position with an issue that is worth
lighting about.
Selfishness. avarice, favoritism eX-
| tended to heaven knows what malign
interests behind this mysterious POr-
TO Rican bill have won in the lower
house. A most enthusiastic uproar
is made by the presidential claque
over the success of our ''open door
policy in China, aud then congress
does what it can to slam the door in
the faces of those who, in Justice, are
as much entitled to admittance as
children to a fathers house.
It has been a remarkable contest.
1t has developed rather unexpected
independence of thought and action
on the part of republicans in and out
of congress, an independence that
ought to have been warning. 1t
has brought out at least one new man
worthy of leadership in a great or
ganization, and therein is a promise,
or at least a possibility of improve
ment. There have been warmer con-
tests in congress, debates that were
more exciting and protracted, but we
do not recall one in which mem bers
of the presidents party, standing for
what the president had recommended
and shown to be right. defending a
weak people against injustice. and
the constitution against the folly of
those sworn to uphold it, were made
the butt of sneers and gibes by other
members of their party determined on
doing wrong.
1t would have been a splendid thing
for the republican party and the nation
if Mr.. Mckinley could have changed his
flexible mind again and vetoed the bill.
But he did not. 1t is the peculiar mis-
fortune of weakwilled persons that
when they are obstinate at all it is at
the wrong time. The only hope the
country has that it will not be dis
honored by this perfidy, lies in the
possibility of an adverse decision by
the supreme court.

and per cent 30-year bonds issued in
their stead. Why extend for so years
debt now almost payable and which
the nation is amply able to pay as it
natures? The republicans tell rs
that it is done so as to furnish basis
for bank note circulation That is TO
say that a banker can buy $25, 600
worth of these new bonds, deposit
them in the treasury and get $25, 900
in bank notes to lend out. He gets
per cent on his bonds and from 6 to
10 per cent on his notes, according to
his locality and mis- skill as a finan-
cier. 1t is in order to effect this be-
nevolent end that the national debt is
to be made permanent
Now what secures these bank notes?
The professional. fidelity of the ma
tional banker? Why. so many ma
tioual bankers have proved thieves
and defaulters that Mckinley has had
to pardon II out of the penitentiary
to keep his standing with the frater-
nifty. The notes are secured by the
bonds; the bonds by the stability and
honor of the nation. But the govern
ment has in circulation some SAB
900, 900 of its own notes, secured as
it's bonds are by its faith and solven-
cy. These notes the bankers whose
own notes rest ultimately on govern
ment credit-declars unsafe and the
administration has acceded to their
demands and orders their retirement.
The substitution of interest bearing
bonds for non-interest bearing green
backs, the gift of millions to the
banks, and the creation of a banking
trust with power to contract the cur
rency at will are some of the fruits of
the republican currency law.

The levee warehouse proposition.
responsive to the appeal of the mer-
chants of Rock Island. is up to the
new council, so to speak. The re-
firing council has done it's duty to
the limit of its powers. although to
be sure it would have been better had
the final action been taken some
months before. The accommoda-
tions which our business men repre-
sent are so much needed, have to a
great extent been retarded by unfor-
tunate circums stances. which it is be-
lieved now have been overcome, and
it is hoped the incoming municipal
assembly will dispose of the subject,
and dispose of it promptly.

Thames today from Putney to Mortlake

fell steadily behind almost from the start
The Cambridge crew, although they were
only padding most of the way. went over
the course In record time-lS:47. Oxford S
time was 20:45.
1t was difficult TO estimate the distance
by which Oxford was beaten, but a con-
servative estimate places IL at twenty
lengths. The day was an ideal one for
the race. There was no wind and the
water was smooth The tide was high
The attendance appeared to beat all pre-
vious records, although the race did not
promise any excitement because 4 victory
for Cambridge was regarded as GER
tainty. The followers of that university
offered large odds on their crew. but
found few takers. The Cambridge men
reached the pink of form a week ago
