works was held last Wednesday even
ing but no business was done because
of the inability OF the board TO elect a
chairman. There are five members
on the board but only four showed up
at the meeting. Mr.. Murphy was the
absent member. The first business
was thatof electing chairman for
the coming year and on the first
ballot Berg received two, Corcoran
one and Bennett one vote. The next
ballot showed Corcoran two, Bennett

remained for the rest Of the evening.
Finally when 1t was apparent that no

SoNE aANK CLEARANCEs.

ANY one reading only the Atlanta news
papers would get the idea that the bank
clearings of that city for the past year
were so phenomenal as to attract the at
tention of the entire world. They have
been presented with enormous headlines
and with statements approaching the SEN
sational We have no doubt that to the
Atlanta newspaper mind the banks of At
lanta handled a vast amount of business
during the year 1900, and we are willing
to admit that for Atlanta the amount
was large. but it does not seem to us that
ii was large enough to justify headlines
covering a big section of a page.
Atlanta's clearances last year were not
quite 100000 above those of the pre-
vious year They were in fact $97, 946 PSI. "a
while those for the previous year were
$50, 05S 39711. These clearances do not come
any where near those of Savannah The
increase in Savannahs clearances last
year was about $l0S 900. That was
greater than Atlanta's entire clearances.
Savannah's clearances were $246. S44, 466 81

EVILS or moss RULE.

The evils of boss rule in municipal af-
fairs is shown in many ways, but chiefly
in the increase in expenses. The increase
is not due to the amount Of Improvement
that are made, but to the number of po.it-
ical friends of the boss who are taken
care of-whose names are carried on the
pay roll
A few days ago the governor of New
York removed from office the district at
torney of New York city. 1t is unneces-
sary to state what the charges were.
The man put in his place is a Democrat,
though it is understood that he is not a
friend of the boss He found an APP
palling condition of affairs in the office
One of the evils he set about correcting
at once was the extravaganza in connec-
ton with the salary list. He found that
.here were about twice as many
deputy assistant district attorneys as
there was any need for-that there were
dozens of officials who had practically
nothing to do, but who were friends of the
boss and were being taken care of at the
expense of the taxpayers.
The expenses Of the office are $250,C00 a
year, when, as a matter of fact, they
ought not to be more than $4,000, or al
most 100000. The new district attorney
promises to have the pay roll reduced tc
the latter figures in a very short time
but will he get any thanks for his eff
forts in behalf Of the public? 1t Is doubt
full. Those who viii be turned adrift VIZ
abuse him, and so will their friends They
may even have influence enough to turn
public sentiment against him, and make
the public believe that his sole purpose
is to make places for his own friends OF
to get a reputation for economy with the
hope of holding on to the office
1t is probable that if a thorough inves
tigatlon were made of the pay roll III
every department of the municipal gov
eminent of New York it would appear
that millions of dollars are paid annually
to persons who render little or no service
to the city-whose services could be dis
pensed with without injury to any public
welfare And this condition of affairs is
to be found in a very large percentage OF
the cities OF the country. The public
II oney is wasted in taking care of the
friends of the political boss of the mum
cipality. New York's budget calls for
nearly lOQ0OO,OO0 this year. 1t is not sur
prislng that it does in view of the fact
that the number Of the citys employees is
quite 10000.

CHINA,s ACCEpTANCr.

1t seems that in diplomatic circles
China's acceptance of the demands of the
Powers is not regarded as unconditional.
1t is not believed that China is yet ready
to abandon hope of getting a modification

doubt appear within a day or two, but
there seems to be no reason to doubt that
the worst of The trouble is over. and that
details will be arranged along the lines
laid down in the note containing the de-
mands 1t can hardly be otherwise than
that China will accept the demands just
as they are if she cannot get a modifica-

There is one thing connected with Chi
uese affairs which is said TO puzzle Off
cials at Washington, and that is the an
nouncement from ST. Petersburg that an

seem 10 be about time that something Of
the kind was declared. According to the

standing the fact that the Chinese have

Simply because the Chinese are unable
to protect their own interests and compel
the Powers to deal with them fairly they
have been treated as If they had no

however that their hearts are full of Bit

| the probabilities are that they would be

lie has no fear that the kidnapers viii
carry out their threat 1t is evident that
! they are too badly scared now II under
take any other crime
1t is the belief that the kidnapers are
in hiding somewhere in Omaha, and that
as yet they have not had a chance to on
joy their ill-gotten wealth. The detec-
tives have been searching for them dill
gently and If Mr.. Cudahy does not with
draw his offer of $4,000 the total Of the
rewards will be sufficient to induce the
most capable detectives in the country
to take up the case. There would be
general rejoicing over the capture of the
criminals. Parents who are known to
be rich permit their children to go into
the streets with fear and trembling 1t
would be just as easy in any other city
or in any part of the country to commit
crime similar to that committed in
Omaha. And a crime like that is likely
to be repeated. 1t has not been so very
long since the robbing of express cars on
the railroads began. Now it is not an
uncommon thing for a robbery of that
kind to be committed.
The readiness with which Mr.. Cudahy
yielded to the demands of the kidnapers
is likely to influence ether criminals to
attempt to make money the same way
OF course Mr.. Cudahy is not to be blam-
ed for pursuing the course he did to get
his boy. He did just about what any
other tender-hearted father would have
done, but if he had resisted the demands
of the kdnapers the chance of a like
crime being committed soon again would
be much less. No doubt Mr. Cudahy re-
called that the father of Charles Ross
refused to comply with the demands Of
the criminals who stole his boy, and
that he never saw his boy again.

MORE TERnIronY.

! 1t is stated that an agreement has been
reached between our government and that
/ of Denmark for the sale to the United
States Of the Danish West India Islands.
In our dispatches yesterday, however
| there was a statement to the effect shat
no sale had yet been made and that If
there should be the United States would
be the purchaser.
! 1t is, of course, reasonable to suppose
that there are good grounds for the pur-
1 chase OF the Islands by the United States,
though it is not entirely apparent what
they are 1t is said that our recent &C
! QUESTION Of Porto Rico makes it import
ant that we should have the three. Danish
/ West India Islands, namely, St Thomas,
! ST. Croix and 81. John. But that can
not be the reason for seeking them at
/ this time More than thirty years ago
the United States negotiated for them,
bat the Senate would not ratify the bar
gain made by the President
As matter Of fact, Denmark has
wanted TO sell the islands for more
than forty years. They are not profit
able to hef. For several years she
has had to take money out of her own
treasury to meet deficiencies in the bud
gets Of the islands And she gets very
llttle of their trade, the most of It com
ing to this country. 1t is not to be Won
dered at, therefore, that she would like
TO sell them.
But for practically Improbable prop
erty does it not seem as If she wanted
pretty big prices 100000? If the United
states wait a little while they may be
able to get them for nothing. There is
no fear that any other nation will pur-
chase them. II is against our policy for
any other nation to have them and It is
not at all likely that any European Power
win take the risk Of mourning the i'll
will of the United States. They have be-
come too powerful TO be offended with
impunity.
1t is not probable that the State De-
partment would close bargain for the
islands until it was definitely understood
whether or not the Senate and the House
would approve the purchase Both
branches of Congress must be consulted
about the matter-the Senate, because the
purchase must be in the nature OF
treaty, and a treaty must be ratified, and
the House. because no expenditure of
money can be made without its consent
And there is another thing that will
likely precede any negotiations for the Isl
ands, namely, the decision of the Supreme
Court in the Porto Rico and Philippine
cases. Congress would like to know just
what the rights are of the inhabitants
of territory annexed to the United states
by treaty or otherwise. There appears
to be doubt as to the status of the
Porto Ricans and the Filipinos. 1t is
safe to say that this doubt will be cleared
up before a bargain is struck with Den
mark for her West India possessions.
