Thomas w. Lawson of Boston, who
bounded into notoriety last year by
building a yacht, which he named the
Independence, and trying to teach the
New York Yacht Club how to sail
trial races for the selection of the de-
fender of the Americas cup, does not
seem to know how to make friends.
1t will be recalled that he sought to
become a member of the New York
Yacht Club, but without success, that
he insisted upon entering the Inde-
pendence in the trial races and met
with rebuff and that finally he or
dered the Independence broken up in
order to show his feelings towards
those who defeated his efforts to
make his yacht the defender of the
cup. The trouble with Lawson is
probably that he wants to run the
world in accordance with his ideas.
and that when he finds he cannot
have his way he loses his temper and
goes off by himself and says bitter
things about those who thwrated him.
He has written a book, giving his
he states bis opinion of the New York
Yacht Club. OF course, the opinion is
not complimentary to the club. On the
contrary, it Is intended to make 1t ap-
pear that the membership of the club
is composed of very sorry set of Eel
lows-fellows who are nowhere near
up to the Lawson standard.
OF course, the New York Yacht Club
is not disturbed by the book. 1t is
probable that it is supremacy indiffer-
ent to Lawson's opinion of it. But IL
Lawson really believes that he has hit
the club a singing blow he Is happy,
and, being happy, he feels we'll repaid
for the cost of the book.
1t seems, however, that the New York
Yacht Club is not the only institution
of the kind that has failed to appre-
ciate him. 1t is said that the Cohasset
Club turned him down the other day.
That club has house near where
Lawson has a summer residence, and
Lawson goes to Cohasset in his steam
yacht about every day. Membership
in the club. therefore, would be of
considerable value to him. 1t is not
stated why his application for men,
bership was refused, but it is probable
that it was thought he would be
disturbing element.
Mr.. Lawson will find out eventually,
if he has not already discovered it,
that there are some things money will
not do-that is, the amount of money
that one is willing to give up for
things much desired. 1t is probable
that he has some good qualities, but
they are accompanied with so many
Objectionable ones that. with all of his
wealth, he will not find it an easy
matter to obtain the social recognition
he seems so much to desire.

THE COUNTY TAX RATE.

1t seems that the County Commits
sioners have come to the conclusion
that they can get along without rails
ing the tax rate for the coming year.
They mean of course that they will
be able to carry out the improvements
they had planned with the revenue
that will be available from the pres
ent tax rate.
The present rate is high-much
higher than it should be, in view of
the fact that we are making every eff
fort to attract to the city investors
and home seekers. When the state,
county and city tax rates are summed
up II becomes apparent that the total
is perilously near three per cent. Such
taxation is inconsistent with cheap
living, and home seekers are attract
ed to a city where rents are low and
the prices for articles of food and
clothing are moderate.
1t is not improbable that If efforts
were made in both city and county
affairs in the direction of the most
rigid economy it would be possible to
cut down the total of the tax rate very
considerably. However, if the people
do not complain the authorities have
right to assume that their appro-
priations for improvements are ap-
proved

CURRENT COMMENT,

The Philadelphia Record (Dem. }
says: zone thing is clear with refer
ence to William Jennings Bryan and
that is that the Republican press of
the country is working him for all
he is worth as means of attracting
attention away from the delinqueneies
of their own party and of tanning
anew the embers of strife among Dem
ocrats."
The Albany IN. " Argus (Dem. }
says: Senator McMillan's eldest son,
w. C. Mcmillan, is in control of the
situation in Michigan, and can sue
coed his father. or name a successor
to suit himself. The same situation
existed in boss ridden Pennsylvania,
when Don Cameron took up the sena-
torial mantle of his father, Simon.
Primogeniture and family succession
is really fine, imperialistie outgrowth
of Republican bossism."
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd.) says; Gen. Grosvenor had a
spasm of candor in his last Chautau-
qua address. when he referred to the
Teller resolution, under which the
United States went to war with Spain.
This resolution he said, declared
that our purpose in the war was not

luton is something like the bitterness
felt by the conValescent who had

thought he WAS dying"

SENTIMENT RUNNING AGAINST SILL
WEIR

In the presidential campaign of 1895.
when there was so much being said
! for and against silver, one of the argu-
ments advapced by the silverites was
that Mexico was exceedingly prosper
Gus. and that her prosperity was due
to the fact that her currency was on
4 silver basis. And there were a good
many people who believed that state
ment.
1t is becoming apparent. however,
that Mexico is not so much in love
with the silver standard as the silver
ties would like the world to believe
Indeed, the most progressive of the
Mexicans would get rid of the silver
standard at once if they could. In a
recent dispatch in the Morning News
it was stated that in the opinion of the
leading business men of Mexico it is
only a question of a comparatively
short time when the country will go on
gold basis. All sorts of business dis
turbances exist now on account of the
fiuctuation in the price OF silver. Be
cause of the uncertainty as TO the real
value of the money of the country
there is a good deal of stagnation in
business
The monetary conditions are unsat-
isfactoTy to the business element of
Mexico and TO business men of other
countries who have business relations
with that country. Indeed, so great
is the dissatisfaction outside of Mex
leo with the monetary condition there
that investors are keeping away from
the country.
1t is said to be the understanding
that the Mexican government is grad
ually maturing a plan for putting the
currency on a gold basis. Senior Lii
mantour. Mexicos minister of finance,
is giving the subject a great deal of
attention, and recommendation of
some sort in regard to the matter is
expected in the near future.
1t is not probable that the silver
question will ever become a political
issue in this country again. The sup
ply of gold promises to continue to be
great enough to keep the silverites
from advocating the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at 16 to /, or
any other ratio. Mexico, and all other
silver countries that can, will change
their currency to the gold standard.

Is HE SUCH A PowERf

A Wilkesbarre, Pa, dispatch to the
New York Herald says that when 1t
was announced on the bulletin boards
there that j. Pierpont Morgan had
sailed from Liverpool for New York
there was rejoicing throughout the an
thracite coal region. Strikers and OPP
orators united in saying: The strike
viii soon end when Morgan gets back.
He'll make them come TO terms"
And how will Morgan make them
come to terms. and who are them" to
which the strikers and operators re-
ferred? Do they think he will try to
force the coal roads to make conces-
sions? Evidently that was the thought
in their minds. 1t is by no means GER
tain, however that he has the influence
with the coal roads he is credited with
having? And If he has he may not
wish to have concessions made to the
strikers. 1t is undoubtedly the purpose
of the coal roads to break down the
organization of the United Mine Work
ers If they can, because they regard it
as the source of all of their troubles.
Evidently, however. the strikers
think they have a friend In Morgan Is
there anything in his career that JUS
tines them in thinking so? Evidently
there is. The toilers are not often de-
ceived in such matters. But what
nerves Morgan must have to carry
such a load of responsibility. An ordi-
nary man, weighted with such cares
would be afflicted with insomnia and
would go insane. But then an ordinary
man couldn't carry such responsibility
ties. He couldn't get into position
where they would be placed upon him.

NEW YORK's GROWING IMPOR-
LANCE

/ Steadily but surely the impression is
gaining ground that New York is the
worlds financial center. a day or two
| ago We presented some figures showing
that New York's bank clearings are
| low far ahead of those of London.
! Thursday there were listed on the New
! York Stock Exchange Russian bonds
10 the amount of $1.1SS. 4s5, 600. They
we're listed on the application of three
of the strongest banking houses of the
city.
The listing of these bonds means
that in the estimation of the Russian
government New York is as important,
from a financial standpoint, as either
London, Paris or Berlin That is a very
pean government to make, and it is
certain no one of them would make If
if there was way to avoid it.
1t is doubtless apparent to every Eu-
ropean ffnancier that New York, in TIE
very near future. is going to be
greater market for the bonds of the
different nations than any other. and
Russia, in listing more than billion
dollars worth of her bonds, has simply
taken a step in advance of other gov
ernments. 1t is true of course that the
bonds of Russia, Great Britain, Ger
many and some other countries have
been sold in New York within the last
year or two, but the bonds of none of
them, except Russia has been listed
| on the stock exchange. 1t is a safe
assertion that the example of Russia
will be followed very soon by other
nations.
New York is growing with wonder
full rapidity. She is keeping abreast OF
the country in that respect. She is the
metropolis of the republic, and she will
be the biggest and greatest city in the
world before the end of this century,
Through her banking houses investors
IN all parts of the country are fur
Bished with securities.
The wealth of the country is becom-
ing so great that foreign governments
will find a better market for their
bonds in New York than in any Euro
pean city. The old world will become
the debtor of the new. 1t has not been
so very long since the old world was
the creditor. 1t is doubtful. however,
If there are many American securities
held in Europe now. OF course there
are some, but the high prices which
have prevailed in this country during
the past few years have brought the
most of them home. The progress this
country is making in wealth and popu-
lation amazes Europe, and, it is within
the bounds of truth to say, alarms her

him explain when, in his opinion, the
party departed from the principles of
those leaders.
