POLITICAL COMMENT.

While the general arrest Of anarchists
will include many innocent of designs
upon President Mckinley there will be
| Justice in their incarceration on general
ciples.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
Russell Sage predicts that. if President
| Mckinley recovers, he will be given the

Sage mean that the two-term precedent
has been shot away?-Boston Herald.
Mr.. Addicks is reported to have an
nounced his purpose to be a candidate for
the Senate from Delaware as long as he
lives This protracts the struggle, but
it does not in the least lessen the duty
of every conscientious Delaware Republic
can to defeat him and to go on defeating
him to the end Of the chapter.-Boston
Journal.
The endeavOr of the anarchists is to
make government impossible by killing
those chosen to administer it. This dire
purpose will not diminish the crop of
Presidential candidates in l90i.-Nashville

Secretary Root and other members of the

Mr.. Gage,s Explanation

The reason given by Secretary Gage
for hurrying 10 the support of Wall
Street before any real necessity ap-
peared is highly suggestive in mere
ways than one. In his published ex-
PLANTATION, the Secretary stated that
the action was taken in recognition OF
the "unfavorable influence upon gen
eral business affairs Of continued alb
sorption into the public Treasury of
revenue beyond expediture." In other

1t is gratifying to be assured by the
press dispatches that the situation at the
cotton mills at Fall River has greatly
improved and is now especially good 1t
is said to be owing to the circumstance
that Mr.. NJ. c. d. Borden. one Oh the
heavy mill men of the district, has bought
up a half million pieces of goods at an
advanced price Unless he can dispose
of them. upon its face this would look like
temporary relief only, but the reports are
that it is regarded as permanent, and We
hope that IL is.
The Washington times., 1901-09-13

1t is rather a poor return for the help
the Administration gave 10 Russia, in the
Russo-American cut and scuttle from Pc
kin, to be met now with an announcement
that American kerosene Is to be excluded
from Manchuria. Possibly the Gage
Havemeyer sugar war against Russia is
to blame for the contemplated action,
which is anything rather than of the
open door kind

words. money is being tied up In th'
Treasury that is needed In circulation
which he admits is bad for business
This reminds us that Mr.. Gage be-
longs to a class of monetary thinker:
who deny In toto the quantitative the
ory of money. These people have ridl'
culed the idea that the quantity OF
money has any effect upon prices. ano
if they are right upon that point,
follows of necessity that it can have
no effect upon general business, for al
modern business is done on the basis
of prices. The only way in which the
release of money by the Treasury and
putting it into circulation can sustain
the business of Wall Street is by saving
the market from a break-that is, by
keeping the prices of the things in
which 1.-The street so largely deals
from taking a disastrous tumble. There
is no way in which prices can be per
manently sustained, except through
an adequate supply of money. Credit
will keep them up for a time, but cred
1t can not be expended indefinitely, nor
will it serve any individual permanent
ly, unless he can at the appointed day
command the money necessary to keep
his credit good.
Next. Mr. Cages statement shows
the fallacy of one of the stereotyped
claims made on behalf of the Repubii-
can party. The spellbinders and press
of that organization have always as
sumed that the piling up of money in
the Treasury far beyond governmental
requirements was financial wisdom of
the highest order. There has been no
end of boasting about the strength OF
the Treasury under Republican man
aeament 1t needs no unusual inteill-
gence to enable one TO see that any
party can increase the Treasury sur
plus if it only makes the taxes high
enough But the Republican leaders
have had a way of figuring it out that
they could accumulate, any amount Of
money in the Treasury without taxing
tie people at all, for, as is well known,
it is a basic Republican contention that
the tariff Is not a tax. Nr. Gage now
explodes the great fina,fcial idea that
the people can be made more prosper
GUS by taking money from circulation
and laying it away in the Treasury,
where. to whatever extent it is be-
yond the requirements of the Govern
ment. 1t is absolutely useless, and
might as we'll never have been coined
or printed.
1t is not often that the present Sec
retary of the Treasury throws any
light upon monetary problems, ana
when he does so, it is generally by ac-
cidentally stumbling upon a correct
principle. This he undoubtedly has
done in the present instance, and The
Times has no desire to withhold from
him any credit to which he is fairly
entitled We now have an admission
from the chief financial officer of the
Government that too much revenue Is
being collected. and that it is an in
Jury to the country's business. This
proves that the Treasury Department
was wrong in opposing the reduction
of the war taxes made by the last Con-
press. and it shows that the Democrats
were right when they insisted that still
further reductions could and should be
made. We may now await with some
renewed interest the action of the next
Congress in regard to this matter.

There is an impression that the Navy
Department is against Admiral Schley and
would be gratifed if the finding of the
Court of Enquiry should be against him.
The impression seems to be borne out by
the request which Assistant Secretary of
the Navy Hackett made to Attorney Cen
eral Knox for help in making out case
against Schley He requested that an as
sistant of the Attorney Generals office be
assigned to assist the Navy Department
before the Court of Enquiry. The Attor-
ney General very properly refused to
grant this request, on the ground that to
grant It would put the Administration in
the position of prosecuting Schley.-Sa-

The royal commission that has been
taking evidence regarding the advisability
of federation between New Zealand and
the Commonwealth of Australia reports
unfavorably as to that proposal. In every
way, the commission says, New Zealand
would lose by federation. 1t recommended
that New Zealand should not sacrifice its
independence as separate colony but
should maintain II under the political con-
stitution it at present enjoys. The COM
missloners are not hopeful of a reciprocal
tariff between New Zealand and Aus
tralia. but they trust efforts will be made
in that direction. They are certain, how
ever that If New Zealand should decide
to federate it would be warmly well
coined on terms DIT least as advantageous
as If it had been an original State.
Companies for insurlng against fines are
multiplying in Germany. 1t has become
so common to have teachers arrested for
disciplining children in the schools that
the dominies are now insuring themselves
against such contingencies. Persons who
own automobiles, horses and carriages
take similar precautions. The German
Teachers Society OF Frankfort recently
insured its entire membership against
prosecution.

The Games That Were Played In the
 Eighteenth Century.

The Games That Were Played In the
 Eighteenth Century.
 After tLe advent of the house of Han- over the favorite games at court were "quadr!llc," an improvement of ''om- bre," and commerce" The gains and losses of the kings and queens were, as a rule. restricted 10 100 guineas, but on Twelfth Night 1t was customary for thousands to change hands. On Dne occasion Lady Cowpcr, lady in wait ing. refused for the sake of her chlli dren to tnke part in the game, as noue sat down 10 tie table with less than f2OO.
 About the year TAO rage for ''whisk." or whist, set in, but at first 1t was considered too wise a game for ladies to join In. Hume, inc historian, never went to bed without his whist. and even the great. Johnson regretted that he had not learned to play cards. In 1142 "Horry" Walpole finds 1t abso- lutely necessary to learn "whisk," having waited in vain for its being left off." We find him in another let ter threatening to build an altar to "pam" to commemorate the escape of his charming Duchess of Grafton. who. 1t appears, had been playing cards in Rome when she ought to have been at a cardinals reception, where the floor fell in and all the monsignores were precipitated into the cellar!
 Cards were so very much in evidence in his time that even invitations were frequently issued and notes written up- on the backs of playing cards, which on that account were usually plain. without any design. The chevalier's famous order to retreat at Culloden was written on the back of the nine of hearts.
 A fresh attempt was made In 1739 to remedy the state of gambling In Eng. land by passing an ars which provided that any person keeping a house or other place to game In forfeits f20O. half to the prosecutor and half to the poor of the parish," whereupon two ladies of title. Mordington and Cassells. who keep open houses for gambling, claimed their privilege of peerage In order to intiInidate the peace officers from doing their duty and suppgessing the public gaming houses by them..- Longman's Magazine.
