THr .cnEAp MONEY" Party.

There will always De a Sns'.p
money! party in the United sia.es.
Washington Post. ,,,,,o,a
The Post Is doubtless correc'. lhe'e
are people in this country, ana nos =
few Of them, who hive the idea that
an abundance Of cheap money means
prosperity. These people have no IN
feIlirent conception of what intrinsic
value is. They think that govern
mont rs powerful and rich as the
United States Government ma! sr'hu
out money by the million and issue It
direct to the people without any m
fention cf redeeming it and without
any necessity for such redemption.
md that if the Governments Wouil
pursue sucn a policy and scatter us
manufactured money abroad. every.
body would fill his pockets with IL ana
all classes OF people-the lazy anu
shiftcss as well as the industrious ana
thrifty--wouid be licl, and prosperous.
When you talk to such people about
gold as a basis of wealth, they laugh
you to scorn. A greenback is money
to them, regardless of the gold supply
or the gold redemption fund behind lt,
They believe in what they call "scien-
tiflc money and they think that peo-
pie who believe in any other sort OF
money are unscicntiiic.
Some time ago, we reproduced from
the Breaos Ayres Herald an Interesting
article on this subject, and directed
the attention of inflationists to it, put
a ,,,0S H.
preston upon any of them who may
Chance to have read it. In Argentina
they have scientific money" That
IS to say, the Government issues
quantity Of paper money without any
gold redemption fund behind it and
puts it into circulation. The Govern
inent may grind out as much of this
money as it pleases, and the question
discussed by the BueDos Ayres paper
was whether or not there was a SUIT
ficaency Of such money for general
business. But il discussing the Ques-
tion our South American contempt.
rary made a very interesting confess
sion. 1t said that for the time being
there was an abundance Of scientific
mone----,'' indeed more than business re-
qtlired; that money was therefore con-
centratsd III the banks and the banks
had more oe it than they knew what
to do with. The reason assigned for
this condition was that business and
Industry throughout Argentina We're
in a stagaant condition and that
therefore very little money was nee1-
ed in the channels of trade.
But the question naturally arises.
why is business stagnant anu why
is Industry paralyzed when there IS
m abundance and a superabundance
OF scientific money" afloat? Ii ''scien-
ti1ic money is able to make prosperity,
why. in the name of scientific logic. is
not Argentina thoroughly prosperous
country? 1t seems to us that this con-
ditien in Argentina would bring the
scientific money" people to reflection,
but it will not. AS the Post says,
there will always be cheap money
party in the United States.
But will that party be the Demo-
cratic party. win the Democratic
party continue to be run by men who
believe in cheap money? If so it will
not be long before the Democratic
party will have run its course.

WATER COMMISSION BILL.
INTENDED To MAKE PROVISIONS FOR
NEw-YoRKs SUPPLY.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRrBU,E.l

lBY TELEGRAPH THE TRrBUSE.l
Albany, April IA commission OF men is to be
appointed by the Governor. according to the
terms of a bill introduced tonight by Assembly
man Morgan, whose members are TO provide
New-York City with adequate water supply
for the next fifty years.
The bin was drafted by the Manufacturers
Association and was introduced by request. The
trainers Of the measure believe that il is a most
necessary piece OF legislation. inasmuch as 1t
viii assure TO the great metropolis without de-
lay. they think a satisfactory water system
Now that the extraordinary powers Of the
Ramapo Water Company have been taken away
and the city is at liberty to condemn watershed
lands. the supporters OF such measure argue
that the work OF securing a water supply must
now be taken up by a body OF public spirited
citizens and pushed TO completion. They say
that the authorities of New York have not in
dicated an energetic disposition in dealing with
The problem Of securing more water for Brook
lyn and other boroughs and that the time has
arrived when this great task should be assigned
10 q special commission.
The bill provides that the commission is first
10 file plans Of a water system with the proper
municipal authorities. With the approval of the
Board Of Estimate and Apportionment. the COM
mission would then proceed and condemn lands
ana provide for a system Of reservoirs and ac-
queducts which would give TO the city an
abundant supply Of water.

A MYSTERY TO GENERAL CORBIN.
HE DIRECTS GENERAL MACARTHUR TC
,r,nrr. ELI L pEpnpT ON THE

ALLEGED FRAUDS.
Washington, April l (SpeciaD.-No official In
formation has been received in Washington con-
cerning the alleged frauds in the Commissary
Department of the army in the Philippines
Soon after he read the press dispatches from
Manila this morning Adjutant-General Corbin
called on Secretary Root and the President He
then sent a cable dispatch to Mator-General
Macarthur. briefly outlining the contents of the
dispatches. and instructing him TO make a full
report.
Captain Frederick J. Barrows Of the Both In
fantry who seems to be thus far the only officer
openly accused, is the of a wealthy lumber
dealer in Minneapolis, MINI.
Captain BarrOws served creditably as hrst
lieutenant in the 18th Minnesota Regiment.
which took part in the first fighting In the Phil
ippines When that regiment was brought home
and mustered out of the service two years ago
Barrows secured through the late Senator Cush-
man K Davis, a commission first lieutenant
in the 30th Volunteer Infantry. commanded by
Colonel Cornelius Gardner, captain in the
regular army The Both Regiment was brought
home several weeks ago to be mustered out, and
is now in San Francisco. Barrows, who attained
his captaincy only recently. has been on special
staff duty for some time, and because OF his
efficiency as an assistant brigade quartermaster
he was kept that duty in the Philippines
when his regiment was ordered home.
Il do not understand how Barrows or any
other officer OF his rank and duty, detailed for
special staff work could perpetrate the whole
sale frauds alleged against him. said Adjutant-
General Corbin 70 a correspondent Of The
Tribune to-day. You will notice that the
wrongdong is laid at the door Of the Commits
sary Department in the Philippines, and yet
Barrows is said 10 be detailed to the Quarter
masters Department. Neither by rank nor as
sgnment has he been in position 10 make con-
tracts, and therefore 90 not see how he could
have been in colluson with contractors. For
this reason the whole thing will be a mystery
to me until I receive a full and complete report
from Macarthur Barrows's record Is good, and
he is backed by the whole Minnesota delegation
in Congress"
y high official in the Inspector Generals De-
partment of the Army said to-day that he had
been fearful for months OF scandals in the Phil
ippnes. because there is a scarcity of trained
inspectors duty in the islands. Though more
than two-thirds of the Army over there
said he. only three officers from this depart
ment have been assigned 70 duty in the Philip
pines. Under the new order of things the
Inspector Generals Department virtually is
BILE have been made by this department for the
assignment of trained staff officers TO duty In
the Philippines but these recommendations per
sistently have been ignored. The Army in the
Philippines is being supplied under and
novel conditions. and IL the Inspector Generals
