FAVORS THE BANKERS.

Representative NoOnan has made the
discovery that the currency bill con-
tains a provision which repeats by i'm
plication the clause Of the existing law
that prevents more than 100000 a
month Of bank circulation to be with
drawn
This. it is conceded. leaves the banks
free to withdraw circulation TO any
amount they see fit after it becomes a
law. Mr.. -Noonan cannot conceive of
such power to create panics or pros
perity at VIII being vested in ma
tiOnal bankers He thinks it is a mis-
take. an oversight.
We are not inclined to share Mr..
Noonan's belief that this provision was
Unintentional 1t has been disguised
just as the decentralization of silver
was disguised in 1873. The whole atti-
tude of those behind this currency leg
islation has been to favor the bankers
trust in every wish and in every way.
it is in line with the recommendations
of the American Bankers association
which met last fall.
Besides, the panics and prosperity we
have had for several years have been
regulated by the money power. Rus
sell Sage is authority fer the statement
that there are 1000 men in New York
City who can produce panics or create
brief periods of prosperity at will" If
the people dance to their music they
loosen their grasp a trifie; if the peo-
pie struggle to be free the hand tight
ems its grip. II these rulers have at
Washington an administration which
does their bidding they allow the
source of their power to circulate a
little more freely TO make the masses
believe they are wisely ruled. If an
administration Of another kind is in
stalled they tighten money to show
their disapproval. This power that the
pending measure vests in the bankers
is no greater than that which they al
ready possess: it merely enable them
to use it with greater ease.
Mr.. Noonan says: Il canno slieve
that the senators and. repre3e- satives
who devoted several weeks to framing
a measure that would meet The APP
prevail Of both houses of congress and
the people. could have Intentionally left
it in the power Of the banks 20 create a
money famine whenever il might suit
their purpose to- do SO.
Mr. NoonaE is too guileless, by far.

ROeBiNG THE BOEhS.

Angic.zed newspapers in this cOun-
try have persistently denied that the
independence OF the Boer republics
was involved in this South African
war
Lord Salisbury says that it is al

independence-and he refuses to con-
slider any terms of peace whatever
which dc not include the obliteration
of the Boer republics as independent
powers.
This Was the purpose Of English ag-
gression from the first. Morley knew

Republicans Of Utah should lay aside

things that are Caesars"
The Republican state convention was
held The Enquirer was more than sat

demand was made even for inte-na-

BEARING A MESSAGE.

The South African republics have
requested this republic TO ascertain
upon what terms peace with Great
Britain may be secured. The United
States has not offered to mediate in
the interest of peace. Of humanity. or
of freedom. for the reason, as Wash
ington dispatches inform US, Great
Britain would take offense.
Why should Salisbury and Chamber
lain take offense? Never before in
this century have two civilized ma
tons been at war but some other ma
ton or group Of nations has sought
to end the strife by tender Of friendly
services.
By reason of it's disintereetedness as
a nation. certainly by presuming on the
strong attachment between the admin
istration and the ministry. the United
States might do that which is war
ranted by the treaty of The Hague.
Why doesn't Mr.. Mckinley yield to
popular sentiment in this particular.
WHY doesn't he assume the traditional
attitude Of American presidents to-
wards weak republics struggling for
independence, for existence?
What is the secret OF the presidents
Indifference. even his manifest sym
pathy for the invading conquerer?
Is it because he is engaged in a
similar affair. Did John Bull get him
mixed " in a colonial system which
obliges the United States to play an
unworthy part in this bloody conflict
which English statesmen compare with
the struggle of the American colonists
from 1915 to 1888?
When our hand was free we could
speak as Americans and lovers of
freedom. Our hands are tied with i'm
Derialism.

vIII-THE GREEK DRAMA.

BY CHAS. FOSTER SMITH, PHI. d.
The drama is an original creation of
the Green genius. Here, as in so many
other forms of literature, the Greeks
were without models. According TO
Aristotle, the Dorians claimed 10 nave
invented the drama, the Peloponnesi-
ans tragedy the Megarians comedy,
and the very name drama by
which the Dorians designated action,
was appealed to in proof.
The Greek drama grew out of the
celebration of the adventures and SUI
ferings of the god of wine, who was
regarded as the representative of the
reproductive powers of nature. his SUI
fering symbolizing the decay and sleep
(eold and storms) of nature in winter.
his joys the reawakening OF nature in
the spring. OF the three kinds Of dra-
ma, tragedy was named goat song"
either. because a goat was originally
the prize given, or, more probably, be-
cause the chorus consisted of satyrs
disguised as goats. Comedy means
either Village song" or more probably
song OF the comus, or revel band. The
satyr drama. named from its chorus
of satyTs and taking its subjects from
mythology, held its place after tragedy
and comedy had borrowed most of its
functions, probably through a sort Of
religious conservatism.
Dramatic representations were not
given at Athens at any and all times,
as nowadays but at the festivals of
the god of wine. Tragedy was admit
ted 10 the public festivals at Athens
in 5S6 B. c.; comedy seventy years
later. The chief glory of the greater
Dionysia, in the month ElaphebOlion
(March-ApriD, was the new tragedies
exhibited. Then Athens made holiday
before her allies, whose tribute was
