TAMMANY NOT DANGEROUS.

The New York Republicans and indie
pendents will again nominate Seth Low for
mayor. and if he will accept hey should
than during the last fight, but it has not
the tremendous advantage that was then
given it by official control of saloons, gam
bling houses, resorts and all the abiding
places of vice. which are always able to
marshal such hosts Of voters in a great
city. and from which can always be
gathered such a tremendous corruption
fund for campaign purposes. During the
Low administration vice has not thrived
overmuch in New York, and it may be
doubted If this element is strong enough
financially to max as hard a fight along
its old lines as it has made under the
Tammany banner In times past.
Indeed, so weakened is the Tammany
organization that 1t is said it will endeavor
to make the fight entirely along national
lines to try to get the benefit of the full
Democratic strength, the metropolis being
heavily Democratic on party lines. But, if
this is to be done. along what national
Democratic lines will the fight be made?
VIII it be along the Cleveland-Gorman
lines and the gold standard, or along the
Bryan free silver line, for which the rank
and file of Tammany have been taught TO
throw up their hats in two national cam
paigns? If 1t Is made along gold standard
lines. Tammany will be able TO get support
from the wealthy Democrats of New York.
but it will be able to get only the votes it
can buy; while, If it declares for free sill
yer. ii may be able to hold its rabble in
line. but it will have little money to handle
the others necessary to success. If there
were any real Democratic national issues
on which any considerable number of
Democrats were agreed. the threat to make
the fight on national issues might amount
to something, but there are no national
Democratic issues to speak Of and there
is no national Democratic party that
amounts to ANYTHING.

NEW YORK, Sept. u.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say: Trade conditions are
still uneven, but the general drift is to-
ward improvement. A more assured feel
ing as 10 the corn crop outturn is mani
tested, conditions in most States having
improved since Sept. 1. State fairs and
low-rate excursions have stimulated West
ern distribution, while good prospects for
corn, cotton, rye and sugar at the South
have made for cheerfulness in that sec
ton. Eastern trade adyices are Of less
notable activity, hut signs of Improvement
in the cotton mill situation are seen. Some
heavy sales of print cloths are reported.
and a number of mills have announced an
approac ching early resumption of operations.
The lumber market shows contrasts in diff
ferent sections. In the West lumber and
building material of all kinds Is active and
firm. But at the East the resumption of
building operations at strike-infested cities
has not been sufficient to keep the markets
strong. The iron trade is rather pessimis-
tic, buyers persisting in holding off. but
the declines in Northern and Western iron
reported this week are largely sympathetic,
the result of reported additional cuts in the
Southern product.
The salmon pack on the Pacific coast
will be a short one. and higher prices are
looked for. Railway earnings continue
good, the increases for August being fully
s per cent. over the best previous years.
Collections show a slight improvement
the result probably Of the crops moving to
market. This backwardness Of agricul-
tural matters Is no small factor in con-
irming buyers in the conservative attitude
they have assumed in some sections.

enecting exchanges is. of course. elastic;
otherwise business would come to a stand
still very quickly. Their very lack of gen.
eral acceptabiiity drives them out of ex-
istence as soon as the particular function
calling them into being has been performed.
And just here lies the point that makes
the business of devising an elastic cur
rency'' so delicate and difficult. If it Is
made universally acceptable, with no ele-
ment Of either doubt or inconvenience to
anybody. how is it going to contract when
not needed, and, IL it has elements of doubt
or inconvenience. how is it going to be called
out in time of need? And since the Anaeri-
can people lave been so thoroughly educa-
ted to the belief that no form of money not
guaranteed by the government is safe, the
problem of defining and authorizing such a
currency by law becomes a very difficult
proposition.

CONFIDENCE AND CURRENCY.

TIL declaration of Senator Beveridge at
that goes with it make business good and
lack OF them make business bad was not a
new thought, but il Is one that cannot well
be emphasized too much How much con-
idence and credit have to do with business
in the United States is shown by the fact
that something less than 5 per cent. Of our
money but a small percentage is actual
money of intrinsic value. the remainder be-
ing paper money based on the popular conf
dencs in the government The other 90 per
cent. Of the business is transacted with va
rious forms of credit. such as checks. open
accounts, notes, bonds. warehouse receipts,
bills of iading. drafts. etc. All these are
merely expressions OF credit in some form
or other. paper forms representing the ac-
tuai wealth of the country in such shape
that its ownership may be readily trans
ferred.
These forms of credit vary TO a consider
able extent in their general acceptability
and the more nearly they approach univer-
sal acceptability the more do they take on
the character of currency. for currency
means nothing more than a convenient and
acceptable commodity that can be used to
effect exchanges of property. The volume

The ocean cable has brought Hawaii
into close communication with Washing
ton, but IL has not lessened the actual dis
lulu. AS a hip sails the distance is as
great between the two cities now as 1t
was when our grandfathers learned from
their Biographies that the Sandwich Islands
were located at some indefinite point in
the Pacific ocean ana that their inhabit-
ants were unpleasantiy addicted to can
nibalism. Now, they are an organized ter
ritory Of the United States. with a gov
eminent similar TO that of Arizona and
New Mexico. and With a territorial repre-
sentative in Congress. 1t follows. Of course,
that 1t is beginning to have some politics
of its own. Politics follow the flag. Recent
advices state that Governor Dole is not
seeking reappointment as Governor of the
territory. a position he has held by APP
pointment of President Mckinley since
June, 1900, though he had been head of the
provisional government for seven years be-
fore that, since the revolution of 1898. He
is a native of Hawaii. though of American
parentage and education, an able and up
right man, and has succeeded in bringing
the new territorial government safely
through a critical and trying period of its
existence. His term will not expire for
nearly a year. but there is already talk Of
his successor. Two persons are now
spoken of in connection with the appoint
ment, and both are connected with the
present government-George X. Custer, Sec
rotary of the Territory, and Henry E.
Cooper. former secretary and now super
intendent of public works. Both are capa-
bic men and political "hustlers." Cooper
is very close to Governor Dole and has
his support for the succession, while Car
ter is understood to be the choice Of Pres
ident Roosevelt, which is a stronger card
than the support of Governor Dole. Car
ter is a graduate Of Yale. a Republican In
politics. a strong party worker. of ag-
gressive disposition and a clean record in
public and private affairs. Parties show
some disposition to divide on the question
of home rule-the home rulers advocating
the appointment of territorial officers from
natives of the islands or those long identi-
fed with their affairs. while the other
party favors the appointment of a Gov
ernor from the United States. on the ground
that an outsider who has not been in
volved in any Of the political quarrels Of
Hawaii during the revolutionary period can
more easily win the support Of all classes.
This was the view and the recommendation
to the United States Senate of the COM
mission of which Senator Mitchell, of Ore
gon. was chairman. But, however this
question may be decided. the indications
are that the worst of the political trou-
bles is over and that the islands have be-
fore them a long period Of smooth sailing
and prosperity. In his last annual message
Governor Dole made several important rec
concentrations regarding legislation for the
Territory, which ought to receive the at
tention of Congress next session.

ALLEGED GAME
STILL sCHEMING TO RETAIN Pos.
SESSION OF MANCHURIA.
Has Imposed Fresh Conditions On
China, and Japan In Suspicious
the Cars Sincerity.

LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE British Foreign
Office has received Official confirmation or
the London Times's dispatch from Picking
published Sept. 10. saying that the Russian
minister at the Chinese capital had added
two fresh conditions to those imposed on
China as conditional to the evacuation or
the Manchurian provinces Oct. s. This ma
terially changes the optimistic view taken
of the far Eastern situation which the Jap
anese based upon the first reports OF the
Russian note. 1t is learned that Japan has
advised all her representatives abroad OF the
details of the Russian demands, which she
now evidently CONSTITUTES as a determination
on the part of Russia to maintain her grasp
on Manchuria.
Viscount Hayashi, the Japanese minister
here, has not been instructed as to the at
titude which the authorities at Toxic Will
adopt. but IL is said that Russia requires
China to signify her acceptance OF all her
demands as a condition TO the evacuation or
Manchuria, and that she has made no move
TO withdraw from Manchuria, although she
has placed her word to complete the evacu-
alton by Oct. 8. 1t Is believed here that
Japan relies on the United States to join
her in making urgent representations to In
duce the Russian withdrawal without con-
ditions, which, IL is repeated. were not sug-
eested when the promise TO retire was made.

DUN & co.'s REVIEW.


Complaints Regarding Collections
Growing Less Frequent.
NEW YORK, Sept. n-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say: Despite the interruption of a holiday,
the week has brought increased activity in
many branches Of business. An encourage
ing symptom is the decreased complaint re-
garding collections. accompanied by more
d~iscounting Of bills. Weather conditions
have been favorable for retail trade, dis
tribution of merchandise expanding, while
there are frequent reports of larger jobbing
fall business than last year. Some caution
in selecting goods owing to high prices is
reported at the West, but this is chiefly
confined to textiles. Labor disputes de-
crease, all but one Of the unions having
signed the agreement in the local building
trades and several other settlements nave
been effected through concessions by both
sides. Railway earnings in August were
81 per cent. larger than last year and
1874 per cent. greater than in 1901. Owing
to the lateness of the crops there is little
complaint of traffic congestion.
On Sept. i, for the first time this year,
furnace stocks of pig iron exceeded a weeks
capacity of the furnaces in blast. This is
statistical evidence of the quiet conditions
now prevailing in the iron and steel in
dustry, although the exact situation cannot
be determined without knowledge Of the
supplies at other points. Furnace stocks
have doubled since June / yet the weekly
output Is now about $4,000 tons less than
at hat date. These figures explain the
reduction in prices. Prices of Southern
foundry iron have again declined, weak
ening the tone and delaying the placing of
contracts elsewhere. Agricultural imple-
ment makers have again purchased freely
of material, some pillow steel contracts COW
ering deliveries for Ave years.
New England manufacturers continue
busy on fall and winter footwear and at
many points it is difficult to secure sufi-
cient labor. Wholesalers report deliveries
Of nearly all variety on time or with little
delay, but facilities are taxed in order to
keep up with business. Leather is still
quiet in this vicinity. buyers taking sole
only as needed, evidently anticipating bet
ter terms. At the West there is more ac-
tivity. Notwithstanding heavy receipts OF
cattle, packers are asking fractionally
higher figures for hides. Prices of cotton
goods are slow to reflect the reaction in
the raw material and the demand is not
improved. On the contrary. buyers are en-
couraged to delay placing contracts, and
mills are not seeking business. In the lob
bling trade a large distribution of mer-
chandise is In progress, this branch of the
industry reporting a profitable season.

BOSTON, Mass. Sept. 11.-Despite the
continued high selling price of raw cotton

reports from the two cotton centers OF
