AN EXPERIMENT.

New York, March THE Evening
Post says: 1t was intimated to-day
that any one with 900 capital could
start a national bank under the new
system. All that is required is S25, 900
in per cent government bonds, which
could be secured at ruling rates for
about $26, $50. These, representing
capital of the bank, could be sent to
Washington and circulation for the
full amount of the capital Immediately
taken out The organizer of the bank
then has only $3.50 tied up in the
enterprise, but could take deposits in
the regular way. Whether the system
can be properly safegarded under such
requirements is not known, but local
bankers are watching the experiment
with great interest and more or less
concern. Such extention of the ma
tional system is expected to yield
large profits to national banks of this
city, since state banks at interior
points keeping their balances with
state banks or trust companies in this
city, will have to transfer their ac-
counts to national banks if they wish
them counted as reserve, as soon as
the new charters are taken out. This,
1t is thought, may result in a serious
loss for some of the large state banks.
since such accounts in the aggreg ate
represent large volume of business -
How is that for sound money? Sup
posing the populists had come into
power and proceeded to supply farmers
with whatever money they might need
up to full value of the farms, would
not the daily corporation press have
howled itself hoarse denouncing such
rank special legislation? But it views
with perfect complacency the handing
over of the finances of the country to
the biggest bank conspiracy of the
century. Oh, for another Andrew
J Jacks on, to crush the banking mono
poly and to drive the money changers
from the temple of liberty.

"UNPLEASANT NEWS

The Minneapolis Tribune in the issue
of last Tuesday contained the follow
ing editorial, which speaks for itself.
The emphasis applied to certain parts
is our own.
"Recent advices from the Philippines
indicate that the rebellion is not vet
completely subdued, but that there are
many hostiles in the field seizing every
opportunity to annoy our troops and
garrisOns. A recent special from
Manila to the Philadelphia Times
says: "Offcers in the field now unite
ia saying that the pacification of the
Philippines is impossible between the
present time and the beginning of the
rainy season. They set the time for
this result (viz: The pacifcation of
the Philippines) at from two to six
years. No one who has been at the
front and studied the situation with
honest eyes believes that the
can be subdued
UNDER TWO YEARS. A majority
are more inclined to SIX. The reports
of casualties and prisoners taken by
the enemy in attacks upon patrols and
provision trains are SUPPRESSED as
far as possibleby Otis special orders. "
1.-The Philadelphia Times is not an
"anti' raper, but is a conservative
supporter of the presidents Philippine
policy, and the above dispatch there
fore is entitled to some credence. The
opinion of the officers quoted by the
correspondent may be wrong, but the
fact that it is entertained indicates
that there are SERIOUS DIFFICULTIES
yet to be overcome. - r.. -z:s

Congressman Eddy is more consist

tariff bill than the republican papers

He knows we cannot admit the
Filipinos into the Union to freely COM

their goods. He views the Porto

ment of a precedent. AS an imperialist,
Mr.. Eddy is consistent, while his
timid followers dare not admit the
existence of Imperialism. Taxing one
part of the country for the benefit OF
the other is imperialistic. An Ameri-

not become American territory, there

can be held by foreign power takes
an absurdly Inconsistent position.

MINNESOTA GRADES IMPROVED.

The wheat ring papers declare Min
nesota wheat grades are so democrat
lied that wheat is bought by sample
instead OF by grade. Party Slave
Wharton squirms about a column of
squirm. He doesn't want to give the
reform administration any credit, and
he doesn't like to be classed as a de-
fender Of the wheat ring. He is in a
dilemma, and he makes a personal at
tack upon the editor of this paper be-
cause he doesn't know what else to do
In his paper two weeks ago he cop
led statement from an eastern wheat
man that Minnesota grades were too
high and asked US how such an out
rAyeous state of affairs could be ex-
planned. 1t made us indignant to
think that q man dependent upon
wheat-raisers would take up cry that
wheat was being graded too high. and
hence our reply last week Party
Slave Wharton cried column of cry
when he read it. He says we are try
ing to build a barrier between him and
the farmers. 1t appears to us he ia
building that himself. It is indeed
lucky for him if his paper has but
little circulation among the farmers,
because farmers as rule may have a
better opinion of him than they possi-
bly, could have if they read the Argus.

When the constitution of a country
is ignored, set aside or unlawfully
changed, then that country has constr
tutional government no longer. It is
a despotism and is ruled according to
the caprice of a despot. The despot-
ism may be vested in body of men
or in one man, and it is infinitely bet
ter to be vested in one man than a few
score of men. If the United States
Congress act Independently of Or in
opposition to the constitution, the
United States is governed by the
worst despotism conceivable. The
despotlsm of the hereditary ruler of
Russia is preferable to the despotism
of a small majority Of caucus-ruled

to late regulation promulgated by
Gen. Wood and other authorities 60
per cent of the voters will be disfran-

qualltic atlOns of a voter are that he
must be able to read and write and
own $3.50 worth of property. This
rule was advocated by the Spaniards
and the more Intelligent classes in
Havana. The regulation almost shuts
out the average run of natives and
many OF them declare, that if they are
not permitted to vote in the election
there will he some throat.cutting on
election day.
''The people from the outside coun-
try are moving into Havana and all

ing for places on the police force,
while there are inst - candidatos in
the race for mayor.
1.-The natives seems to hate our SOL
dlers even worse than the Spaniards
but the impression prevails among the
officials at Havana that the Cubans
will engage in rows among themselves
the minute the troops are withdrawn.
The Cubans appear to be doing little
work. In fact, so far as 1 could see,
the gardening and the farm work is
being done by Chinamen.''

ior' wheat" | regret exceedingly
that l have done the Minnesota de-
partment an injustice, and had it not
been for your reported belief in the
charge against the inspectors of this
port would have been disposed to
defend you. [ think you and your
department can readily understand
what such charges as were reported to
have been made by yourself would
mean to any grain market, coming
from a source of much importance and
recognized authority. l can sympath.
ize with you in thinking that it is too
much to be responsible for your
grades after the grain has been
handled several times in transit to
Europe. | thought, however, that it
was shortsighted to lay the blame on
any particular market without abso-
Lutte proof that the grain was being
tampered with.
"However, if have done you or the
Minnesota department any Injustice,
believe me that | did it honestly, think
ing that it was up to me to defend the
Buffalo market from an unjust attack,
and not with the idea of getting mixed
up in any political squabb|e, nor for
the sake of hearing myself talk. I
sincerely hope that no such misunder-
standing shall again come up to dis
turb the pleasant relations between
this and the Minnesota inspection de-
partments.

ly, will the Argus editor please ex-
