The plan of Secretary Cortelyou to relieve and prevent money stringen- cy" seems to be generally admired Be- ginning with this week, the Secretary will place each week, at such points as he shall designate, government funds, in such amounts as he deems necessary to relieve existing conditions This he will do for a period of not less than five weeks. The deposits will be made in various national banks of New York, Boston and other financial points, the security required to be ap- proved State, municipal and railroad securities, with the understanding that if called, the deposits shall be return ed after January of the new year. No interest will be demanded.
 Looks smooth and promising, doesn't it? But will 1t really work any better than other attempts to relieve money stringency" have? Is there any limit to the amount of money that can be and will be soaked up when Wall street is again roaring? We notice that the plan is warmly approved in Wall street, as any paternal plan to increase the amount of money to be played with and played for would be.

A Very sertous Question.
(Prof. Goldwin Smith in the Toronto
 Sum-

(Prof. Goodwin Smith in the Toronto
 Sum-
 A very serious question and one which threatens to involve Canada and the United States in common difficulty If not danger--is beginning to loom. It is that of the settlement of Chinese and Japanese on the Pacific coast of this continent. Both races are in somewhat different ways unassimilable by us. The gulf which divides them from us, morally, mentally and in the case of the Chinese politically, appears almost impossible; at least to bridge it would be the work of generations Yet come apparently they will England has, in fact, bound us to admit the Jap anese by her alliance with them, the fruit of prejudice against Russia and fear of her designs which might all most be called Authorization, We sec in this that the foreign policy of Great Britain Is not always identical with ours Admitting the Japanese we could hardly exclude the Chinese, especiaily if, as seems highly probable, a close relation should be formed be- tween China and Japan Already they are settling here in considerable mum bers, way being made for the introduc- tion of their labor by the strikes. The influx of Japanese coming here under @ the SIllEtu Ol IIS fAtlE auce into the United States can hardly be prevented, and may cause trouble with the American government.
 The influx of Japanese into Canada Is now stated to be at the rate of 800 a month. Since January last over 1000 had arrived in British Columbia, 233 of them in one week, while 1000 more were en route. During July 1S3 Chinese paid tha poll-tax of $50) on entering. Of 85S Japanese arriving at Victoria. 7S1 were males and only seventy seven were females. It is needless to say what moral dangers such disparity of sexes. which is still greater in the case of the Chinese. involves. Will govern ment ever pay attention to this matter?

THE ORANGE PROTEST.

Some of our neighbors of the town of Orange can always be depended on to keep things moving lively in the otherwise peaceful community. They are a good deal of the time persist ing in occupying the front of the stage. Sometimes it is comedy and again ordinary vaudeville. A good many of them have a penchant for politics. Just now the coming vote accepting or rejecting the proposed charter to establish a new city to be called Orange is absorbing attention. It had been supposed by the engineers of this scheme that everything was moving along so swimmingly that they could shut off steam for awhile and take a vacation for week or so, when behold, they are threatened with a head-on collision. A "committee of protest" has appeared. The circular which this committee issues declares that they object to the forcing" upon them of city charter. After recit- ing that "five-sixths of the territory is farm land"; that "the farmers of Orange have little iM common with the people of West Haven; that i'm provement can and should be made to  the present charter by necessary amendment" this committee gets right down to business by saying that the charter Is crude and in many par ticulars ill-drawn, and that this is in the main a politicians movement, de- signed, promoted and carried out for the general purpose of increasing and perpetuating the powers of the pres ent oflceholders and their associates. !"
 These are strong words and right here is the challenge of battle. As to the charter it is certainly an extraor- dinary document. Many who have been very vociferous for a city char ter have their doubts in moments of sober reflection about the charter be- ing exactly what they have wanted.
 But the charge that this is a ''poli- ticians movement is the most serious restriction of all. If there is any truth in this it would be we'll for citi- zens to consider this matter carefully before voting for charter for which little real study and reflection has been given. Quite number of off1cehold- CTS are indeed on this charter com mittee. Is it the fact that the char ter is designed" to increase and per- petuate the powers of the present of ficeholders? This is charging a great deal. If the proposition for the char ter had come from a body of citizens holding no office it would appear in the light of disinterested movement. This charge of the committee of pro- test places the off1ceholders on the charter committee in very embar- rassing position.
 From now until the vote is cast next week there will be something doing. If the decision by the people is for the new city charter big task, ex- perimental in character, will be under taken. The next interesting venture vii be the selection of Orange states men to shape the life of the new city will they be chosen from those who are figuring on the places for which they have already assigned salaries, or will entirely different, but capable men, be given the task of making good" this experiment.?

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
Prince and Duke.
(The Boston Transcrlpt. )

TThe BUsIOH ITHHSCTIpCJ
 Tn order that all the official and so- clal p's and as may be attended to on the occasion of the reception of the coming royal Swede. it should be said that he is Prince William of Sweden Duke of Sodermanland. Those who are styling him Prince of Soderman- land doubtless have no intention to be otherwise than courteous but he is Duke of Sodermanland, title borne by members of the Swedish royal family; Prince is really a convenient designa- ton, rather than title in many coun- tries of Europe, For example, Prince Arthur of Great Britain is Duke Of Connaught. and as such sits in tho House of Lords. Prince of Wales, on the other hand. is a rank given by formal investiture, Wales in theory be- ing a princlpality.

COTTON TOOK USUAL
WEEK END SLUMP
Heavy Receipts Was Fea-
tur0 of Market.

Yesterday the cotton markets did
their usual weekend stunt Of cas-
ing off few points in the absence of
any special news. Prices experience
ed narrow fluctuations, at one time
being a little below the opening
which had been at declines from the
close for Friday. The weeks figures
showed a decrease in the into-sight
movement as compared with the
same week of last year, though the
stocks were larger. Liverpool made
a gain of two points for spots but was
lower on contracts. At New York it
was reported that Mr.. Price was sell
ing and others followed the tip. The
financial conditions still initiate
against any permanent advance and
favor the bear side. The close was
steady, New York being 8 to points
off for the active months, while New
Orleans showed net losses of 6 to s
points.
More than the usual activity pre-
vailed in the Americas market espec-
tally in the matter of receipts, which
were nearly thousand bales Ware
housemen were very busy until late
in the evening and in some instances
were not able to weigh all the cotton
offered. A fair business was done in
sales.
