Money to Move the creps.

The south and the west are much
richer than they were five years ago,
or even one year ago, but after all that
fact does not mean that New York
banks will not again be called on to
furnish money to move the great crops
of wheat, corn, cotton and oats, already
harvested or in the course of being har-
vested. The surplus wealth of the west
and south is placed in home banks, but
those banks keep a large portion of
their reserves or SURPRISES in New
York banks, because In that way inter-
est can be earned. The money is there
fore in New York, although that money
may be owned in the west and south.
If the crops could be moved through
the use of checks, the money could re-
main In New York. 1t would in that
case be but transfer of credits but
crops are not moved in that way. The
farmer wants money for his products,
and he will not part with them on any
other basis. A bale of cotton Is trans
ferred for its value in bills or silver
So is bushel of wheat, or a load of
corn. The money must be sent from
New York, where it has been all
through the summer season drawing at
least two. and probably three, per cent
interest.
Currency will therefore be freely
shipped from New York in the coming
weeks to the west and south. The
movement has already been begun. The
interior banks may not borrow much
money in New York, but they will be
compelled to decrease their deposits in
New York, and currency shipments will
take place as heretofore, for the In
terror banks hold this year at home no
larger percentages of cash to deposits
tnan they did last year or in previous
years of recent date.

state from the yellow scourge, is natur-
ally indignant over the non-action of
the doctors and officials at Mississippi
City, and he proposes to prosecute
them to the full extent of the law. It
is to be hoped he will, for an example
of that kind is sadly needed. No
greater offense against the people of a
locality can be committed than to keep
from the fever experts and the state
board of health information as to sus-
pieious cases.
Doctors should not await final dag
nosis. All cases that furnish a suspi-
cion of yellow fever should be prompt
" reported, and this would bring to
bear men of skill and men of author
ity. 1t is wrong. even crime, to en-
danger the health and even the lives of
people through acts of secrecy.
Governor Vardaman is proceeding on
the right line. All his good work has
to a certain extent been frustrated by
the stupidity shown at Mississippi City,
and the men who did 1t should be held
responsible for 1t. The general public
is with Governor Vardaman in this
matter. Prompt reports of suspicious
cases are all-important, and Governor
Vardaman can secure them IL he brings
to punishment the delinquents Of Mis-
sissippi City.

Lord Curzon's Resignation.

Lord Curzon of Keddleston had served
five years as viceroy of India, and his
administration of the vast population
was so successful, he was reappointed.
He instituted many reforms, and no
trouble came to him that he could not
overcome until Lord Kitchener. fresh
from Boer fields of war, was appointed
commander-ln-chief of the forces in In
dia. Lord Kitchener soon reported that
the entire army administration in In
dia must be recognized il that army
is expected to be ready to repel Rus
sian aggression, IL not invasion, which
railroad extensions towards Afghanis-
tan constantly threaten.
The plans of Lord Kitchener were
approved by the Balfour government.
and Mr.. Brodrick. secretary of state for
onding Lord Kitcheners plans. This
brought about friction between Lord
Curzon and Lord Kitchener and that
friction has resulted in the resignation
of Lord Curzon, which has been ac-
cepted by the home government.
Lord Curzon married an American
girl, and he served a considerable time
in the British embassy at Washington,
and his troubles over the military re-
organization In India will interest
American readers. His political career
is, however, by no means ended, for all
Englishmen appreciate the value of his
services In India. His successor is to
be the Earl of Mimic, who promises to
become in India fine executive.

Washlngton's Denial.

Tho denial OF Booker washington
printed In The Age-Herald in regard to
the Saratoga incident Is one of the
weakest and at the same time one of the
most slSillful denials that l can recall"
said the Rev. DIR. A. J. Dickinson yes
terday.
AT first glance one Is almost lead to
believe that he denies the report sent out
in regard to the dinner. A second read
ing, however, shows that he differs with
the dispatches In only one particular, and
that Is In regard to his escorting Mrs
Warburton into the dining room. He
acknowledges that he ate with Wanna
maker and his family at the hotel In
question
"He concludes. by saying that in the
south he conforms with southern customs.
but admits that In the north he finds
1t necessary to his business to accept the
attentions of northern people. Washing
ton seemed to forget that such incidents
in the north are as fatal to his cause
as IL they took place in the south. After
all, his denial is practically confess
sion of the newspaper reports, differing
only In one particular"
