OPINIONS AND POINTERS.

THAT naval review for the
amusement OF President Roosevelt is
said to have cost the country $3.50, 900.
These things come high, but we must
have them if royalty is to be aped.-
Buffalo Courier.
Ex-senator Hill was obviously
correct when he said at Niagara that
with a surplus revenue, the imperative
duty of congress was to reduce taxa
ton instead of trying to find ways of
getting the money back to the people
through the banks. The policy of pub
lie deposits is a proper palliative for
a bad situation; it is a good remedy
for an emergency; but there is now a
prospect of years of surplus revenue,
and the first duty of congress is to
cut the taxes down to the necessities.
Philadelphia Record (Ind.).
The Providence Journal, an in
dependent republican paper, does not
think we'll of some of Mr.. R~oosevelt's
alliances. ut is not reassuring,' it
says, ito those who wish to think well
of the president to find the Quay men
and the Addicks men still persisting
that he is on their side, and will give
them valuable support when the time
comes. Mr.. Roosevelt, the reformer,
cannot afford in this case to be known
by the company he keeps."-Bing-
hamton IN. W Leader.
More promises from the Roose-
welt administration concerning the ma
tional scandals. Register them. If the
long columns of promises are to be full
filled within the short 10 months remain
ing, the rate of performance, it appears,
will have to be increased considerably,
The administration is prompt enough
with promises. Promises cost nothing
in any event. In this instance they are
like so many promissory notes which, If
not collected within 10 months, become
void by limitation.-St. Louis Republic.
With grating in Wall street,
grating among the captains of industry
and finance, grating by all sorts of COM
binations formed to mulct the consumer.
and with the c~ountenance which the gov
eminent lends to grating through the
system OF protection, there is no cause
for surprise in the reports Of robbery
among the Indians in the territory. If
1t is the lack Of opportunity to steal that
is to.make men honest, the heads Of the
interior department should see to it that
such restrictions shall be imposed among
a people who are SO poorly fitted to pro-
tect themselves as the Indians. There
should be some semblance of honor even
among thieves.-Kansas City Star.

CONGRESS TO MEET
ON NOVEMBER 8
Special Session for the Considera,
ton of a New Currency Bill.
ROOSEVELT APPROVES PLAN
Programme Includes n Disposition
on Some Basis of the Question
of the Cuban Reciprocity
Problem.

Washington, Sept. Information
which is considered reliable says that
congress will be called in special ses-
sion November 8 to consider remedial
currency legislation and other import
ant matters.
The information m from such
sources as to indicate President Roose-
velt's approval, and the Endorsement of
prominent ~financiers throughout the
west, as well as those in the east. 1t
is now believed that Secretary Shaw's
speech in Chicago, in which he out
lined his currency plan, was nothing
more nor less than the visit and the
speech of a missionary, designed to
draw forth public and private comment
before final action is taken toward put
ting the programme into actual effect.
This programme for currency legis-
lation includes the following points:
First, removal of the provision limit
ing the retirement of national bank
notes to S., 000, 900 per month; second,
amendment to currency laws to per-
nit banks to issue so per cent. of their
outstanding circulation secured by
bonds at six per cent. interest; third
a reserve fund to guarantee redemp-
ton, to be created by this six-per~cent.
paid to the government: fourth, Gus
toms receipts to be deposited with the
governments national bank deposit
tories, as internal revenue receipts are
now; fifth, the secretary of the treas
ury to deposit treasury funds with
banks whenever, in his Judgment, it is
necessary to prevent a financial string
ency. The two latter changes can be
made, it is believed, without legisla-
ton, but are to be a part of the gen
eral currency scheme. Among the 9th
er matters scheduled for consideration
is Cuban reciprocity, which will BIG
recommended again by the president.
The plan as outlined is not the plar
or the scheme of any particular indi-
vidual or any particular set of politi-
clans, financiers or bankers, but it is
held to be the consensus of opinion OF
every interest in the country. While
1t does not meet the radical views OF
some bankers who apparently desire
to use any currency reform as a o
ey-making proposition for their insti-
buttons, it has been approved by some
of the leading financiers of the country,
who say they do not favor any plan
that means a mere money-making ma
chine for the banks, but rather stand
for some reform that will actually re-
lieve the nation from currency en-
barrassment at times when crops are
under movement. They want a system
which can not possibly be used with
profit for purposes of financial or spec
ulative initiation.

A FITTING TRIBUTE
TO SIR THOMAS
Pilgrims Club Royalty Entertain
the Greatest of Sportsmen.
GENERAL WHEELER'S ADDRESS
VIII Carry Back With Him to Our
Mother Country the Ever Increas-
ing Love and Admiration of
the American People.

New York, Sept. 5.-Sir Thomas Lip
ton was the guest of honor of the Pill
grims of the United States al a dinner
given in his honor, last night, at the
Waldorf-Astoria.
Nearly one hundred and fifty men
prominent in many walks of life were
present. At either send of the hall
was hung Sir Thomas private EN-
blems, the Shamrock on a field of yell
low, surrounded by a green border,
while above the guests table were
draped the flags of Great Britain and
the United States. Bunches of red
roses on each table and green's on the
walls completed the decorations.
Surmounting the menus, which bore
the flags of Sir Thomas and the Royal
Ulster Yacht club, was a cardboard
yacht, which bore no name.
In order to enliven affairs somewhat
at the outset the guests sang a little
song to the refrain of Mr.. DoOley,"
which told of the virtues of Sir Thomas
and his enduring efforts to lift the cup.
There had been arranged no formal
speeches, but Gen. Joseph Wheeler
spoke as follows:
THE pilgrims club appreciates the
honor conferred upon its members and
its guests by the presence with us OF
Sir Thomas Upton.
The events of the last two weeks
is an illustration of the old and tried
saying that we sometimes build higher
than we knew. 1t is fortunate not only
for himself, but for the world that Sir
Thomas did not succeed in the special
purpose for which he crossed the
ocean. What seemed to be loss, mis-
fortune and disaster, has become in
reality fortune, triumph and victory,
Sir Thomas came to America to win a
silver cup. He has won what is even
better than a golden crOwn-the ad-
miration, applause and love of the
world. Anyone can be grand in sue
cess, and victory, but the world pro-
duces few who can rise to the height
Of grandeur, when their most herculean
efforts have failed in the cherished
purpose of their ambitions.
in all ages and in all countries, the
ablest and strongest of men have al
times been overwhelmed with misfor-
tune and disaster. The greatest and
most successful soldiers have lost bat
ties, have lost campaigns, have lost
Kingdoms, empires and country. II
only proves that misfortune is some
times even more potential than genius.
and that the strongest and best efforts
can not overcome the irresistible. But
how often it is that such reverses are
necessary to show the true greatness
of character in both nations and indi-
viduals.
For months Sir Thomas has beer
the most prominent and conspicuous
individual upon the face of the globe
The calcium search light has been up.
on him every moment, and when he
returns to Il mother country, he vii.

Senior Macaro Expresses Admiration
of Policy Pursued by United States.
Bogota, Colombia, Sept. THE SEN
ate has appointed a commission to pre-
pare a bill authorizing the government
to negotiate a canal treaty without vio-
lating the constitution, but the govern
ment has not presented to congress a
message, which is necessary, asking
for reforms in the constitution to meet
the wishes of the United States, regard
ing tribunals, the sovereign control OF
the canal strip and the hundred-year
lease. The general feeling is favorable
to a new treaty. Senior Macaro, the
actual president of the senate, ex-
pressed his admiration for the noble
and sincere policy pursued by the
United States and hopes that the canal
will be opened by them. He says he
regrets that he was Obliged to oppose
the Hay-Herran treaty as being a Vio-
lation of the laws of the constitution.
but he will work strongly for a canal
treaty satisfactory to both countries.
