.While 1 should dislike very much to
see Mr.. Scott go down in defeat, yet if
the result should be otherwise. there is
no Republican, I believe who could be
more acceDtable to the country at large

is an honorable gentleman in every sense
of the word. and has broad, liberal views,
such as follow a thorough education and
extended travel I cannot think of a Re

ceptable 10 the South, and especially to

I should think, too. looking to the we!fere
of the country at large, that man OF

strength to any ticket upon which he
might be nominated.
The only regret l have is that Mr.

that Mr. Mckinley would be well pleased
at the idea OF having Mr.. Scott as a run

CTRE,.;NT TOPICS.

Mr.. Albert G. Robinson is writing some
interesting letters from South Africa to
the New York Evening
View OF tie Post. He does not appear
oitiahusFs' to be much in love with
the Uitlanders, and gives the following
estimate of them:
The Uitander is the man WHO has
come largely within the last two decades,
10 exploit the country for his own hand,
seldom having or even caring 10 nave any
part or lot in the politics OF the lana IN
which he lives. l make this statement
regarding the general Political maintenance
Of the IJitlander carefully and advisedly,
beca11se, from the best and most reliable
information obtainable, | believe It to be
y fact, in spite Of the charges ana assef-
lions of exceedingly doubtful pelllohs'
and an undoubtedly subsidized South -Alrl-
can press. My authorities are OF all ma
ti0naliies. including both E:glisA ana
Americans. Some are Uitlanders, some are
naturalized, and some are nauEe pufSilets.
The Uitlander is an outsider, IN t,ie iiia -,
but ne has proved useful tool IN tiie
hands of men who sought to further their
own financial interests
The Commercial Advertiser thinks that
the Republicans would weaken themselves
in New York by nominat-
ne" YORK tsing Roosevelt for the
Tor president vice-Presiaency. 1t thinks
that it would be folly for the party to
..side-track Roosevelt into the Vice-Presl-
dency' and then pat up a candidate for
Governor whom the people do not want.
The people of this State" it says, are
VIGOROUSLY sensitive about the indepen-
dence of their Executive, and resent all
attempts to force them to take for Gov
ernor some man that they do not want:
The Folger experiment was the most
striking illustration we have had OF this
on the Republican side, and the Hill
Maynard episode, with its loss of the state
in three successive elections, points the
moral on the Democratic side. There is
not the slightest excuse for taking any
chances with this popular temper this
year. and nothing but blind criminal folly
will make such a course possible

VIVA VOICE VOTING.

NATIONAL BANK CURRENCY.

Mr.. Joseph T. Orsne, cashier of the
Lowry National Bank of Atlanta, IN the
course of an address before the Bankers
Association of Georgia the other day. said
that the net banking profit over and above
what would be earned upon a direct loan
Of capital at any given rate OF interest
hovered about per cent. under present
conditions. Moreover. he pointed out that
this profit could only be earned when the
notes were loaned for the entire year.
He added:
There are already evidences that the
banlnote circulation is rising above imme-
date demand and that the notes may
come back rapidly for redemption. The
fact that the benefits of note circulation
under the new law are already losing some
Of their attractiveness, when the figures
Of the profits are carefully scanned, is in
dicated by the fact that nearly all the new
banks which have been organized within
the last few months have taken out nearer
the minimum than the maximum circula-
ton to which they entitled. Out of
119 new national banks authorized TO be-
gin business between March l4th and May
3lst with an aggregate capital OF $3.50,
600, bonds were deposited to secure circu-
lation to the amount of only s.. $50
This is d trifie more than 80 per cent OF
the capital, ana a like ratio OF circua-
ton for bank with a capital OF only So
coo would reduce its profits from circulation
to the paltry sum of 800.
We are not surprised at this statement.
When the present financial law was enact
ed, The Times expressed the opinion that
it would fall short in practical benefits OF
the expectations of its friends. 1t was a
mere makeshift The demand for a genuine
flexible currency viii never be met until
there is free banking in all the States.
