To the Editor OF the Register
Sir:-Your correspondent this morn
ing. in calling attention to some of the
things done against the interests of the
Republican party in this city by the
Intelligencer, omits few facts. neces-
sarily, perhaps, on account of lack
of space. He might. for instance, have
enquired why that paper condoned the
bull-dozing of a colored majority in a
Second ward Republican primary, and
then refused those agrieved space for a
statement, ard compelled the coiored
men to go to The Register for fair treat
ment. And 4 do not recall that the In

A Frenchman has an auto that can

mile minute. 1t makes young Willie
Vanderbilt and his brother ALT green

object of this tremendous development
of automobile speed? The horseless
vehicle is quite rapid enough as it is
for the comfort and safety of citizens
on the same thoroughfare.

GERMANS FINAxcIAL CRISIS.

The Berlin correspondent of the New
York Journal of Commerce states that
Germany is undoubtedly going through
its saddest economic experience since
the Empire was founded; for along
with the numerous failures of banks
and other companies has come the
revelation of state of moral rotten
ness among Germany's business men
that nobody had suspected a year ago.
Says this correspondent n the course
OF a lengthy review Of the German stu
alton, financial and industrial:
The well-grounded pride with which
German business men have hitherto con-
templatse their excellent reputation
ebroaAsfor commercial honor has suffered
. n,o0t severe blow. and German paper.

AT MOyTTCELLO.

The Democracy of Missouri will be
we'll represented at the tomb of Democ-
racy's founder. Thomas Jefferson.
where they have erected and will dehi-
cate a monument The Jefferson Club,
of Missouri. yesterday passed through
West Virginia, enjoying the beauty and
grandeur of the scenery of the Noun
tain State along the C. & o.. and will
arrive this morning at their destina-
ton.
When train load of such represent
alive Democrats journey such a dis
: lance to pay homage to Jeffersen's
memory 1t augurs well. At no time in
our history has it been more important
to study the life and teachings of
Thomas Jefferson, whose doctrines
there has been a tendency of late to
neglect.
In the earlier days of the republic
there were conflicts between those who
wanted strong, centralized govern
ment and those who believed in a gov
eminent by the people or Democracy.
Grounded in and growing out of tn csc
convictions two parties came into ex-
istence, best known as the Wing party
and the Democratic party. The lead
ers of these two parties were Alexan-
der Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson.
9th men of distinguished ability and
sincerity in conviction.
Hamilton favored a strong central
lied government and logical conclu-
sion from his premises was that a gov
eminent by the aristocracy, men of
wealth, birth and high position, would
be the safest, the strongest and most
enduring.
jefferson maintained that govern
ment had its sole authority in the peo-
pie; that they were entitled to such
laws and forms of government as they
created by their ballots: that no cen
tralized power should be recognized
save only as it received authority from
the people themselves. He founded his
AcA-SttoNS vi poibl-o III petSOudl
rights and was ever jealous of man
hood rights. hence Democracy, as it
came down from our fathers. meant
first, the largest liberty compatible
with social and civil order-a simple
form of government Democracy
fought against special privileges, hence
the old Democratic proverb Equal
rights for all and special privileges for
none"
Founded in right, justice and the
principles OF the Constitution of the
United States and the Declaration of
independence. these principles have
been enduring ana notwithstanding re-
peated defeat are strong to-day and are
the imperishable platform of the De-
mocracy. the party which Jefferson
founded.
Too much honor cannot be paid
the memory of Jefferson. and such in
cidents as this have widespread
benencent effect in recalling the at
tention OF the people to the life and
teachings of the greatest friend and
advocate of government by and for the
people.

are themselves saying that IL VIII take
years to wine away the stain which mas
been put upon Germany's business -epu-
tation by it's numerous crop of swindiers
and embezzlers. The "Frankfurter Zel~
tung" admits in a recent market review
that in no similar period OF business de-
preston In Germany have 20 many cases
Of "disgracefui frauds and common swind-
ling" been exposed The case could be
stated still more strongly in the follow
ing form No great country has for
century had SO many directors of banks
and joint-stock companies In prison at
any one time awaiting trial for dishonest
financial transactions as Germany has to-
day; and 1t is also perhaps true that no
country has ever had so many suicides
owing to business troubles and detected
crimes in so short a time as Germany has
had during the past few months.
Naturally, German financial circles are
much concerned at the probable effect
that all these failures and frauds will
have upon the standing of German bust
ness men as whole in the worlds COM
mercial intercourse IL is felt here that
the sensational character Of many of the
disasters of the past year has given FOR
eign observers an exaggerated impression
of the state of things prevailing In Ger
many; not only that these disasters have
created a false view as TO the average
of German business integrity but that
they have magniied unduly the proper
lions of the German crisis as seen from
abroad.
fhe correspondent adds that Ger
e til,
stock companies, and that the NUMBER
that have failed or gotten into financial
difficulties constitute but a slight pro-
portion Of the whole. Il Was the policy
of most German companies during the
six, years of phenomenal prosperity,
ended last year. to accumulate large
reserve funds and make heavy write
offs for depreciation of plant; hence al!
the more carefully financed companies
entered upon the present period of de-
preston under favorable conditions.
The wildcat financial methods that
were in vogue with several companies
that failed under sensational cireum-
stances during the past summer have
certainly been far from general in the
management of German industrial anu
financial Institutions
It is quite evident nevertheless, that
Germany has been going al too fast I
pace in the matter of Industrial ex-
ploitation. Her experience should be a
warning to Uncle Sam. who has been
going it more rapidly on the same line
in the formation of gigantic trusts,
Largely on wind and water. The Ber-
lin correspondent quoted adds-and his
deductions should be read with interest
in this country:
After the present crisis is over an in
teresting chapter can be written upon the
intimate relations of the German banks
with Industrial companies. The jaunty
with which all foreign erit-
cisms of the system We're dismissed here
up to year ago. has certainly given place
to a more reticent attitude among finan-
ciers, and they are now much more will
ing to admit the dangers of the system
