THE RATE Bill RACKET.
An tIucidstion OF Charges and Counter
ChaFqes ia tmbroalio.

charges ~ tmbr0gi0.
A Washington special says: The
Tillman charge that President Roose-
betrayed the democrats in the
rate bill matter is the talk of Wash
ington
The president appears to lack alb
Tic approval Not since he has been
in the white house has he been so
bitterly attacked with so few defend
ers. TO the impartial observer there
is some right aud some wrong on
both sides. Here are the issues con-
cisely:
Tillman and Bailey, corroborated by
Chandler, charge
First - That President Roosevelt
surrendered to the railway senators
in accepting the Hepburn bill with
the "Allison amePdment" as to court
review.
Second-That the surrender was
unnecessary and was made at the
moment when victory was assured.
Third-That President Roosevelt
went over to the enemy without no
tice to his democratic allies who had
made victory possible
Fourth-That the treachery was
less eXcusable since he had himself
sought the alliance,
To these charges, the president has
replied:
FirSt-That he has not surrendered
in acc - ing the Allison amendment,
but has in fact, gained a great and
substantial victory.
Second-That he did not break OF
negotiations with the democratic al.
lies until it had been demonstrated
that victory was not possible on the
basis Of their proposals.
Third-No reply.
Fourth 49, That the alliance was
sought by the democrats and that
the Observation-Disclosures Moody
conferences were no more significant,
and no more binding than numerous
other conferences which were con.
tinuously being held
To which the following rejoinder is
made by tine presidents critics:
If, as claimed, the Hepburn bin
was always satisfactory why did the
president raise the issue of a restrict.
ed court review? Why did he call
the conference at the white house
at which the Long amendment" was
drafted? Why did he for no less than
ten days tell all callers that the
thing to do now was to kill the
broad court review amendment"
Why did he not discover sooner
that the naked Hepburn bin with the
Allison amendment gives a broad re
view, and practically all the anu-law
yers for once agree with them?

Cost Cash to Yell "scab.o

For calling two non-union linemen
"scabs," e. r. Meyer, who works
for the Atlanta Telephone company,
was fined 1915 by Recorder Broyles
in the Atlanta police court. Meyer ac-
knowledged that he called the two
men ''scabs'' and said that the men
who took the places of union men
who were seeking to secure their
rights were "scabs."
The recorder said that Meyer had
no right to insult men on the streets
by applying such an appellation, and
fined him S5.75.

 Alaska long since became too impor- tant and progressive, in commerce and productive industries, to be kept out doors, as it were, at the capitol. There has been neither logic nor justice in denying so great a territory represen- tation iu the house and a larger meas ure of self-government than it has yet enjoyed.
 Ia both respects the needs of Alaska are especially urgent because the big northwestorn territory is far from the country and widely different iu it's con- ditions of life and work.

THE NEW STATE PRISON.

There can be no question of the need of
new state prison in this part of the State OF
New York. The old Sing Sing institution has
had useful career but it is hOpelessly out of
date and has long been reprOach to the state
on sanitary grounds. Moreover, it would prob
ably be economical to build a new prison, be-
cause of the much greater value for other pur-
poses of the Sing Sing site than of far better
which might be selected elsewhere.
The wisdom of some of the prescriptions in
the law may however, be doubted. The area,
five hundred acres is not too much. and it
will be well to have an ample water supply
the property. though that does not seem
absolutely essential. \ traprOck quarry will
doubtless be a good thing to have within the
compound, so that the cOnvicts may work at
preparing it for road building, bGt there are
other acceptable road materials and there are
also other occupations at which cOnvcts might
be employed. There may be cause to regret
these requirements if they make impossible the
selection of some site possessing decided advan-
tages in other respects.
Two things are. however, permitted, and one
of them is prescribed by the law, which are
highly desirable. The new site must be readily
accessible from New York. for obvious reasons,
and it must not he closely related 10 any eX-
listing town or village 1t is a familiar fact that
the village of Sing Sing was actually compelled
to change its name TO Ossining, in order TO
dissociate itself as much as possible from the
prison. No other town should be subjected to
the same necessity. There should be found
some tract of land of sufficient size, situated
close 10 a railroad it not also TO navigable
water. but which is at a distance and quite
apart from any existing village, town or city,
so that it can have not only name of its own,
but also a railroad and express office and post
office and telephone system. Thus its reproach
would not fall upon any existing community, and
its name would become more typical and sig

with democratic government. Nearly every re-
public in the world recognizes the usefulness, If
not the necessity, of the bicameral system. OF
course, much depends upon the constitution of
the upper house. II should be as truly repre-
sentative as the lower, though in a different
way. Even as a purely hereditary chamber,
the British House of Peers would be not devoid
of representative quality and functions But it
is not purely hereditary. Every year, and some
times more than once or twice year, It's num-
bers are added 10, not by inheritance, but by
selection and appointment chiefly of those Com
mOners who have attained greatest distinction
through their efficiency in various branches of
the public service so that we may expect the
Lords not to be "ended" in some fierce conflict
with the Commons, but to be gradually and
peacefully 'mended" into a body Of the high
est capacity and efficiency, through processes
which will be, our correspondent says, in line
with the whole course of English constitutional

MONEY AND RrSLNESS.

July opened with further decline in prices OF
securities. the average Of the sixty most active
railway shares falling $40 SO from the high rec
ord established early in the year, after which
there was moderate recovery First there ap-
peared the slight improvement that usually pre-
cedes a holiday when there exists a considerable
short interest in the market. due to purchasing
by cautious traders in order to cover contracts
Subsequently there was a further trifling gain
because Of an easier money market and small
gold engagements in Australia. while the foreign
demand for stocks in this market showed some
increase. 1t has frequently been stated during
the recent fall in prices that the insurance COM
panies were sacrificing securities in order to
settle losses at San Francisco but no such opera
tion Will explain the movement. It may have
contributed slightly to the volume Of liquidation
but most of the selling has come from discour-
aged pools and syndicates that could find no
public demand. Meanwhile, all legitimate in
fuences upon tho value of securities are encour-
aging, particularly the steady gains in railway
earnings, favorable crop reports and well main
tanned activity in commercial channels; but the
market is largely professional that the only
factor Of real support IS the knowledge that the
short account is excessive
Apparently, in the judgment of the Secretary of
the Treasury. this month is the hest time in which
TO raise funds, since he has offered $30OO0OOO OF
Panama Canal bonds. despite the fact that there
is no immediate need for the money. There
is no reason to believe that this operation will
reduce the supply Of money available in the
open market. since II will probably be left in
the national banks until required, while the new
bonds will be available for the issue of addi-
tional banknote circulation IL that is found de-
sirable. Nor will the withdrawal Of S1O0o0OOO
from the banks have any appreciable effect, be-
cause it is probable that by the time that oper-
ltion is concluded government disbursements for
the month will have exceeded receipts by a still
larger amount, and, meanwhile, the Secretary will
be in better position to aid the banks when in
terror Withdrawals become heavy in the autumn
There was some surprise and disappointment
that this country did not secure at least a
part of the large gold consignment coming 10
London from South Africa. especially as rates
OF sterling exchange continued at the normal
gold importing point yet in the judgment Of
conservative men. receipts of gold at this time
would simply amount 10 an addition 10 the al
