ANOTHER CURRENCY PLAN.

A Wall street journal congratulates
the country on the fact that the cur
rency committee Of the American Bank
ers' association which is to confer with
a committee of the chamber Of COM
MERGE of New York, has agreed to a
currency plan based upon what it calls
the two vital principles of credit cur
specific assets and subject TO daily re-
demption.
In the absence OF further details the
country at large will not rush into the
congratulating business. The rlan out
lined may have some provision of tax
aticn of emergency circulation as a
safeguard against speculative expansion
of the currency, but the Wall street out
line does not say so. The absence of
specific security for credit currency may
sue-but the country is not agreed upon
that point either. Indeed, the whole
basis of the arrangement so enthusiasts
tioally Endorsed by the Wall street
spokesman looks too much like spec
ulator's dream to be received with
unanimous approval.
One of the suspicious arguments adj
vanced in it's support is the fiat declar-
alton that the reduction in New York
bank loans since June 1 shows that the
recent stringency and high rates for call
money are not due to speculative ac-
tivity; that the decrease in bank re-
serves has been due to the demand for
cash with which to move crops from
the interior
That argument might be believed if
year. at times lower than during the
same period in any years for a long
time past. The situation was comment
OF on as early as last February, after
the January dividend disbursements
and at a time when reserves ought to
be well above legal requirements. There
were no crop movements then to call
out unusual currency shipments to the
interior, and there were no other finan-
cial exigencies except an extraordinary

An elastic currency system is GER
tainly desirable. 1t should not be pos
sible for a single man. the secretary
of the treasury, to have It in his power
To raise or depress stock prices by his
distribution of government funds to pri-
vate banks or their concentration in
stock speculative centers., But any pro-
vision for the issuance OF currency by
barking institutions should carry with
II a check in the form OF an emergency
tax that would prevent speculative in

issue by specific assets might well be
considered without regard to Wall
streets opinion on il one way or the
other.
The legitimate demands of commerce
and the inspired opinions of Wall street
are altogether different matters; and
the interests of the country coincide
much more nearly with commercial
needs than with the desires of the stock
gambling center

other. 1t involves the economic and So
cial fate of vast territory; and it has
unfortunately, involved the whole po-
litical fabric OF very large section OF
the nation.
Familiarity with conditions in the
negro will ever be permitted to DOM
mate any southern state politically
That would be a matter of life and
death in such sections as the black belt
where the colored people outnumber
overwhelmingly the white element. But
and this seems to be the crux of the
question-there is no good reason in
a supposedly civilized land, why a ne
with any white man. The white is pro-
tected in life. liberty and the pursuit
of happiness, by the laws of the ma
ton and the state; why should not the
negro be given the same protection
The white is given trial. when &C
cused; the negro too often is executed
without trial and without law. The
white works for whom he will without
compulsion or restraint: the negro in
many localities is in virtual slavery I'M
der nominal process of law.
These are not matters of social equal
ity In the sense Tillman talks about,
nor are they involved in the discussion
of race rule. They are matters of sim
pie, human justice-the justice that all
men should be given. no matter what
the conditions of social life or political
exigency.
Senator Tillman has read history, and
if he has read it Alright he knows the
injustice of the white to the negro is
responsible for the greatest war in all
time and for the fearful suffering it in
fiicted on north and south alike. More
over, If he realizes the immutable laws
that govern men, he knows that the
white people Of the south are still pay
ing the arrears of judgment. 1t is
quite as important for the dominant
race that justice be done as it is for the
negro. A people disregarding the law
habitually suffers for it; and the SEN
ator's notion that the law can be defied
and condemned without injury to the
defiers is the foundation of all civil an
archy.
The salvation of both races in the
south lies along the line OF liberation,
evolution, education. Booker Washing
TONS exhortation to his own people that
they fit themselves for good citizenship
by industry, thrift. morality, is worth
more to the south than a thousand TILL
man jeremaids; a million dollars spent
in Industrial education for the negro
under the leadership of such men as
would be better spent than
ten millions iii instruments of repres-
sion.
1t may have been a mistake to con-
fer the right OF suffrage upon the negro
people before they could be fitted for
it, but it is a still greater mistake to
preach the doctrine of injustice and de-
f1ance of the law as Tillman does.

datory of the national banking act, and
provides for the appointment by the
Comptroller of the Currency of persons
to make an examination of the affairs
of every banking association These
persons shall not be directors or other

FAMILY WIPED OUT BY FIRE.
Seven People Burned to Death In Their Beds
10 Pennsylvania.

Lewistown, Pa, (SpeciaD.-The most
horrible of calamities that has occurred
in Central Pennsylvania for many years
took place 3 o'clock in the morning at
Pleasantville, Juniata County, about nine
miles southwest of. Port Royal. Seven
persons Csaac Saylor and his daughter,
Mrs. Peter Martin, and her FIVE child

Alice, aged nine; Stella, aged SIX, and
Charles, a Io-month-old baby) were

In the home of Isaac Saylor, an aged
Civil War veteran, a wood fire had beer
built the afternoon previous. This set

quickly extinguished by the family. The
house was an old-fashioned one, with
large chimney, and the supposition is
that sparks lodged in crevices and
smouldered there until the flames broke
out in the morning, destroying the entire
house.
The house was partially consumed
when they escaped, and it is thought
that the other occupants were either
overcome by smoke or jumped down the
blazing stairway in attempting TO es-

Mrs. Norris Case In House.

A sensational climax to nearly five
hours of somewhat humdrum debate on
the Philippine tariff came in the House
of Representatives when young Mr..
Sheppard of Texas fercely arraigned the
Presidents subordinates for their con-
duct in the recent Mrs. Morris episode
at the White House. Messrs. Payne and
Grosvenor both sought to prevent him.
Mr.. Payne on the ground that it was not
germane to the bill before the committee
and Mr. Grosvenor by suggestion that
the subject better comported with the
dignity of police court than that of the
House of Representatives.
Mr.. Sheppard's remarks were based
upon his resolution looking to an investl-
CATION of the affair. He narrated what
he termed the unwarrantable and un-
necessary brutalities and barbarous treat
ment of Mrs. Morris, and declared that
unless Congress took action we soon
would witness condition where citizens
cannot approach the President without
fear of bodily harm from arbitrary sub
ordinates. The outrageous action toward
Mrs. Morris, he said, was a distinct low
ering of the standards of American man
hood and in violation of the sentiment OF
reverence for women.

Dealt In by L. w. Prior.

Cleveland, O. (SpeciaD. - According
to a statement made by H. R. New
comb, of the bankers committee investi-
eating the affairs OF Denison, Prior &
Co, which is in the hands of Receiver
Thomas H. Bushnell the latest devel-
opments show that the gross liabilities
of the firm will be $oooooo not includ-
ing the 100000 in supposed forged
securities. The assets of the firm, Mr..
Newcomb believes, will be about $780,
600.
TheIformal statement from MIR. New
comb to this effect was as follows
Z have just had conference with
C. E. Denison, of Denison, Prior & Co.
We have gone carefully over the assets
and liabilities of the firm. AS near as
we can figure il out, the gross liabilities
will be 100000, not including the 81 ,ooo,-
600 in forged securities. Figuring these
in. the gross liabilities will be $I,ooo,ooo.
'The assets of the firm, we believe,
will be 100000 That means that the
net liabilities will be $I,4oo.ooo, unless
other forged securities are found, and !
firmly believe that we now have found
all that exist.
These figures are approximate, not
exact. Assets and liabilities may vary
to the extent of 100000 or 100000,
more or less. The value of the assets
will depend on how they are used"
Mr.. Newcomb believes that few OF the
forged bonds were placed into banks out
side of Ohio. and maintained that the
forperies were used as collateral mostly
in Cleveland. That would make the ex-
tent of the involving outside financial
institutions small. Mr.. Newcomb says.
Tie amount of the forgeries were in
creased by 100000, and now total $I,-
100000.
The following are the alleged forged
bonds discovered to date:

Prior's private safe was opened, after
three days work by experts. Ii is said
that it contained no papers or mem
oranda that would disclose anything as
10 the status of the firms affairs. Among
the contents of the safe were insurance
policies for 100000 on his life. These
were divided among four companies.
Stocks representing less than $1,000
also were found in the safe. None of the
life insurance policies were invalidated
by suicide.

1000 KILLED AND INJURED.

Pittsburg (Special More men are
killed and manned in Allegheny Coun-
ty in peaceful pursuits in one year than
are killed and wounded in the great bat
ties of history. Statistics for the past
year show that there were killed and in
jured in the iron and steel mills and blast

In other mills, shops and factories
1000 were sacrificed and either died or
were manned, while the coal mines swell
this figure to 400 and the railroads VIC
Tins include an additional 1900, making
up grand total of 1900, who were
slaughtered or. injured in one year.
In addition to this number there are
thousands of cases that are not reported.
According to employers, most of the ac-
cidents occur through the carelessness of
employees.
The frequency of accidents and deaths
in the Edgar Thomson Mills have caus-
ed Chief Factory Inspector Delany to
announce that he will investigate that

FIERCE Fight on THE RAILROAD.
What the War With Japan Cost
Russia.

ST. Petersburg (By Cable The bud
get statement for 1906, which was just
issued shows that it will be necessary
to raise $40, 10000 by credit operations
to balance the estimated receipts and ex-
penditures. The latter include $2o2, $780,
900 for the liquidation of the expenses
OF the Russo Japanese War, the repa-
triatlon OF the troops in the Far East, and
the reduction of the army to peace
footing. For the first time the total cost
OF the war ($I,o5o,oooooo) is revealed.
The credit operations to balance TO
budget include the recent authorizations
OF $2ooooo,ooo in treasury bonds, $75,-
100000 OF which has already been used
to renew the Mendelssohn loan, and the
credit of 100000, 900 which former FL
nance Minister Kokovsoff is now nego-
tiating in Paris. The primary. object of
the latter, the proceeds of which viii
be retained in Paris, IS understood TO be
the maintenance of the stability Of the
rouble
The budget statement does not dodge
the prevailing conditions in Russia. 1t is.
pointed out specifically that the receipts
from nearly all resources have been
scaled down, and, moreover, it is stated
that, if the disorders in the interior do
not cease there may be some branches
of revenue on which it will be impossible
to count
The budget also deals frankly with the
heavy drain on the gold reserve of the
state bank balances abroad, which have
fallen $I52. 100000 in the three months
preceding January 1. During the last 10
days of the year the gold reserve was re-
duced by $3o,5oo,ooo, while the issue of
paper currency was increased by $2o,-
100000
The increase of paper issued, The state
ment says, was made by the bark in an
effort to come to the rescue of the busi-
ness interests which were almost par
alyzed, and which had been refused loans
by private banks, owing to the panlcky
conditions and to the reduction OF the
foreign credits of houses with connee-
tons abroad.
In the budget statement 1t is an
nounced that manifestos will be issued
giving the nation the right to participate
in the examination of future bldgets.
This, therefore, will be the last budget
to be examined solely by the council OF
the empire without the cooperation of an
elective assembly. 1t is further stated
that the surplus for 1905 will be greater.

SOME LARGE GAINS BY TIE LIBERALS.
Winston Churchill Wins 10 Another DlvIslon
Of Manchester Liberals Gain Is Seats
In Elections Held Ia 80 Constituencies In
important Centers-Laborites Secure Four
New Seats.

London by Cable) Former Premier
Balfour was beaten for reelection in
Manchester, his opponent, an obscure
lawyer named Horridge, turning con-
sentative plurality of 1880 into liberal
of 2453.
Winston Churchill, running in con-
servative district, was elected by plur-
ality of 1871, turning over tory dis
trict majority of I47I.
The outcome was the most astonish-
ingeever known in England. The defeat
of the tories has been overwhelming
and the liberal victory correspondingly
extraordinary. AS the great liberal sue
cess is bound to have mighty influence
on the other elections to be held in the
next few days, the indications are that
the liberals will sweep the entire country
and probably have good working ma
jority in the House of Commons.
The scope of the liberal victory is we'll
illustrated in the returns. In the thirty
FIVE constituencies representing seats in
Parliament the liberals have captured
thirty-four seats and the tories six. For
merly the conservatives held twenty
six of these seats and the liberals four
teen, clear gain of twenty votes in the
House for the liberals.
Six of the thirty-four candidates elect
ed by the liberals are labor candidates.
Their success indicates that the labor
candidates in various constituencies must
be given consideration in the future cleo
tons, and they will probably be force
- he
has been the aim of the labor leaders to
hold the balance of power in the next
House, and while it is still too early to
predict the ultimate composition of that
body the success of the party has en-
couraged the leaders to believe they will
achieve their ambition.
Saturdays elections have given heavy
blow to Mr. Chamberlain'S fiscal policy
program. The voters have spoken in no
uncertain tone on the subject Of protec-
ton, showing in the enormous majori-
ties given the liberal candidates their
favor for free trade.
Lancashire, according to the returns,
has gone solid for free trade, and York
shire is following its lead. In the two
elections held i'll London likewise the
voters spoke their preference for free
trade. The liberals carried both cleo
tions One seat they formerly held, but
there the majority leaped upward, and
in the second division, a conservative
stronghold, the liberal candidate was sue
