Congress and Finance.

The financial debate which began in the

holidays, will probably he attended, OF
followed, by one in the House, and the
whole problem of currency. panics, and
remedies be opened up. How much wiser
we shall all be at the end is a question.
Tt may turn out, as in the case of the
tariff. that the great bulk of the talk has
been contributed by men the least familiar
with the subject. There is something SO
tempting in a difficult topic. legisla-
tive rush for it always follows the intro
duction of one.
The administrations course in the recent
furry is legitimate subject for discus
sion. 1t will not be good policy or good
politics to shape the discussion closely on
partisan lines, but that the President
should explain his action toward the relief
OF: the money market is a fair request.
And of course he is prepared to do that.
Ills rule is to deal with the public with
great frankness.
But criticism of the administration, to
be effective. must be accompanied by the
suggestion of a better policy than the one
condemned. What would the critics have
done in the Presidents place? If the sit
uation is not fully relieved before then,
what policy or policies will these senators
snd representatives suggest to Mr. Bryan,
or support at his suggestion if the democ-
racy wins next years contest? Pulling
things to pieces is often easy; putting
things together in workable shape is often
difficult
Nor should we lose sight of the fact that
granting a clear explanation from the
President as to what he has done, and
some clear suggestions from his critics as
10 what he should have done, we shall
still have to consider that the matter OF
relief and security for the future is not
wholly within the power of Congress. Said
Mr.. Aldrich yesterday:
This panic did not occur as a result of
legislation or because of it's omission.
Legislation will not prevent similar dis
turbances In the future
1.-THE senator from Rhode Island speaks
with large knowledge about financial mat
tiers, and with an intimate knowledge OF
sentiment in financial circles. 1t would be
well. therefore, to ponder what he says on
this point, and not put too high value on
what Congress may do as to the present
emergency. If relief is afforded it may
not be permanent. and something more by
some other agency may be necessary to
keep us on an even keel in the stormy
weather of the future
For the wind will blow, and at times ii
blows a gale.

The Hughes Boom.
the New York Evening Post

From the New York Evening Post.
The Hughes boom is fairly upon us, and
the Hon. Timothy Woodruff estimates it
we'll when he describes it as popular
movement" There is no Wall street money
behind it. no band of paid organizers, and
there are no collectors of ports or other
federal officials at work for it. All that
seems to have been asked of Mr. Hughes
is an assurance that he would not inter-
fere with resolutions, or the organizing
of clubs. or the pushing of his name, and
he has apparently assented, upon condi-
ton that he be not used as tool for per-
sonal or fractional advantage.

The Crusty Old Fellow.

'.Crusty old fellow" they used to say,
AS they watched him cautiously make
his way
Into the vault where the bars and locks
Stoutly guarded his treasure box.
"Crusty old fellow, who loves to gloat
Over certificate, coin and note
Counting them with long caress
Worthy lovers tendernessr'
He heard them not as he passed them by
With shutting step and with furtive eye
The lines of his face were hard and cold,
AS if he had been all his lifetime old;
Old and wary and far too wise
To yield to the laughter of youthful eyes
Careless of comment, good or bad,
Old and wary, and, somehow, sad.
Into the strong room he made his way.
His treasure box open before him lay;
And he looked again. to be assured
That the door behind him was well Sc
cured;
Then laid out papers. where written bolt
Were solemn compacts to pay him gold
Some of them debts-'tis strange, blu,
true
Uncollected, though long since due.
With trembling fingers he then unwinds
The faded ribbon that loosely binds
A packet, and counts with a miser's care
The letters lying before him there.
And he fondly touches some little thing
Like handkerchief or a plain gold ring,
Or the miniature of sweet-faced girl,
Or withered flower, or a golden curl.
And his face in the twilight's softenine
glow
Grew sweet with the smiling of long ago
But scarce had he given the key a turn,
His lips compressed and his eye grew
stern.
And they said with a sneer, How he
loves to gloat
Over certificate, coin and note,
Counting them with a long caress
Worthy lovers tenderness.''
