FRIDAY, DEC 2s. 1906.

The committee on banking and currency has reported favorably to the house the bill for an elastic cur rency very much such as was recom- mended by the bankers commission recently in session in Washington. This plan contemplates the issue of credit notes to the amount of 40 per cent of the banks capital. The tax on the first 30 per cent of the amount issued will be 2 1-2 per cent, for the remaining 10 per cent the tax will be 5 per cent. It is claimed in favor of the scheme that it will put the extra circulation in whatever part of the country it is most needed and that the tax while not heavy enough to be pro hibitive will be sufficiently heavy to prevent the banks from keeping the notes in circulation after the emer- gency calls for the issue has passed.

 In his report Mir Shaw credits all the gold from American mines as as- sets, but we note that American are called upon to give Euro pean bills for much of it. The truth is that a large percentage of the stock in our mines is held in Eng land and some of our most produc- tive mines are owned by foreigners. So that the secretary might have truthfully noted that much of the American gold which makes him so optimistic is American by birth and else.-New Haven Union.

To Look Like Real Farm.

Many New England farmers have found that taking summer boarders is a much more profitable and less labori- ous means of livelihood than tiIling an unkindly soil. Such one is a certain old Man Stoneheld. as h, is generally known. Much to the surprise of his neighbors. therefore. he was seen to be engaged in planting several acres of corn about his place.
 Thought you said boarders paid better'n corn" one of them remarked. resting his elbows on the fence and glancing over the unpromising field.
 "Do." was the lsconic response. as the old fellow turned his team at the end of the row.
 What tou plsntin' corn for. then.- the other inquired.

It is rather remarkable at this late
 day to hear any talk of the revival of the Ku Klux Klan, says one writ CT. Yet 1t is very likely that the
 government will have something of this sort on its hands in the near fu-
 ture. It is in connection with the
 Isle of Pines. A gentleman has just
 returned to Washington from that
 island and brings the interesting in-
 formation that the whole organiza- tion of the klan has already been perfected there. It will be recollect- ed that there have been almost tear full appeals and protests from the lit- tie island against having its admin fstration turned over to Cuba. The bulk of the settlers there are Ameri- cans who went to the Isle of Pines under the impression that it was American territory. Since then they have been sadly undeceived by the action of General Wood who turned the island over to the Cuban govern ment. All of the natives are thor oughly in accord with the American settlers in their opposition to the Cuban carpet-bag officials who are sent to govern this little ocean about the size of Rhode Island paradise. Now the Americans have lost all hope of the treaty insuring American pos session to be passed by the senate, they have organized secret clan ex- actly on the line of the Ku Klux with the object of warning, deporting. and if necessary burying every Cuban oficiaI and gendsrme who is sent to rule over them. The leader of the happens to be an old Ku KIux man himself. The order is secret and oath-bound so that it will he almost impossible to detect 1t and it's members say that if an American varship is sent and marines landed to garrison the island that will be the thing of all others which they will welcome and eheerfully submit to.

Much the most important move the president has ever made is the one he is now reported contemplating, that of subjecting the physical operations of the railroads to the interstate com- merce commission. This plan cannot actually be credited to the White house, but the rumor is afloat in tol- erably definite shape and 1t is im- portant enough to warrant serious notice. It is known that Judge Cowan, counsel for the Texas Cattle Raisers' association, had good deal to do with drafting the recent rate bill. Now it is said that he has drafted an- other measure and submitted it to the president of vastly more import ant scope. It is nothing else than that the interstate commerce commission shall have the power in times like that of the present car famine and freight congestion to step in and manage the railroads if they cannot or will not give efficient public ser vice themselves. It is said that a draft of this bill has been submitted to the president and that he has passed 1t up for consideration to the interstate commerce commission.
 
 There is reason to believe this is 90. The chairman of the commission when asked about the report would not say anything on the subject, but specifically refused to deny 1t. Now if this report is true. it means gov- ernment ownership with vengeance. It is more effective and more likely of accomplishment than anything Mir Bryan has ever proposed. It means simply that the government, not by avowed ownership and the appropri- ation of large lump sum, shall take over the railroads. but that it will be able to direct their operations with out the expenditure of . cent of money. -.

THE EXPOSITION.
Steamers to Ply Between This Port
 and European Cities.

Norfolk, Va, Dec 2S.-Direct steamship transportation between European ports and Norfolk and the Jamestown exposition during the pe- riod of that celebration is the vel come news that has recently been re- ceived by officials of the exposition in Norfolk. The authority of this statement is the "Berliner Tageblatt" one of the leading newspapers of Germany, copy of which was sent to the Exposition company, by C. w. kOhlsaat, commissioner general of the exposition. who is now in Flu rope in the interests of the ter-cen- tennial.
 As result of several conferences between Mir Kohlsaat and officials of Transatlantic lines, 1t is reported that it Is very probable what both the German-American and the German Lloyd steamship companies will put on steamers direct from European ports and the Jamestown exposition piers, in Hampton Roads, next year.
 The statement has been made that if these steamship lines place their steamers on the exposition route. it will be such fine investment and will open up so much transatlantic traffic. that they will never be taken off. but remain to add to the excel lent transportation facilities that Norfolk already has.
 Not only will these lines from Eu- rope to Norfolk and the exposition add to the popularity of the ter-cen- tennial and swell the foreign attend ance, but 1t will became Il perma- nent institution and advance the in terests, of the entire south, of which Norfolk is to-day the commercial gateway.

SOME PLAN NEEDED
To Carry On Boot and Shoe Workers
Union Pending Litigation.

Boston Nov. lJ.-Aftcr listening to
the claims of Thomas II. Hickey of
Isrockton and John +. Tobin of Roches-
ter y. y. rival candidates for the
presidency of the Boot and Shoe Work
crS Union. Judge Morton in the SUI
premc judicial court today intimated
that counsel should agree upon some
plan to carry on the affairs of the union
pending n decision by the full bench of
the supreme court.
The proceedings today We're on pc
ing Sec. Bainc to issue 4 certificate of
election to Mr.. Hickey. Judge Morton
said that if counsel could not agree
upon some mthod of carrying on the
unions affairs he might feel obliged to
issue an injunction forbidding the new
election. which is scheduled for Dec. 6.
Judge Morton said lie did not know
whether his injunction would be effec-
tive. as the local unions are scattered
all over the United States. but he felt
that something should be done to pre-
serve the welfare of the order.
The counsel for the presidential aspi-
rants will endeavor to carry out the
wishes of the court. pending the action
Of the fun bench on the questions of
law which have arisen in the contro-
versy.
On the face of the returns the recent
election resulted in favor of Mr.. Hicl<-
ey, but Mr.. Tohin disputed on the
ground Of irregularity.

fare to Richmond on the boat. Young
Lacey worked at the Densmore House

his starting point for their grand ex-
plorjns and hunting trip.
Al DnnsmOre was first aware Of the
presence Of the youngsters when he
started home from Richmond and
round his boat missing. thus making it
necessary for him to go over by the
ferry. ON reaching home his mother in
formed him of the arrival Of the boys.
The next morning Al had a long talk
with the boys and convinced them of
their folly. Their idea was to work for
him until they could earn money
enough to get up into the woods, but
as Al was not in need of any help at
this season of the year. he could not
favor them. Cautioning them to remain
at the house he came to Richmond and
made arrangements for their transport
tation back home.
