Publication Laid to Enemies
Mr.. Frost was inclined TO believe the
publication of the report was inspired
by his enemies.
'SThe articles appearing recently re-
garding the company are evidently in
spired by those who have been seeking
to wreck the property for obvious rea-
sons at the sacrifice Of every other in
terest. The statements and assertions
are false and unfounded.

dated July 10, | charged that re-
port to be false and misleading and at
that time made request on Judge
Grosscup for an independent audit,

"The property, while in an unfortu-

unfortunately the company has
been obliged to carry on it's construc-

nHr1rs CURRENCY TROUBLES.

An unfortunate hitch appears to have oc-
Cured in ChiIi's work Of reforming her currency
system Some time ago law was enacted pro-
viding for the resumption Of specie payments In
1910, on the basis Of 1S pence sterling, or $50
cents American. in gold, to the dollar, or peso,
in Chilian paper. 1t WIS confidently expected
that the law would be executed, and 1t may be.
But 1t is decidedly ominous that there has just
been passed a new bill providing that the re-
sumption Of specie payments, the conversion
of the paper currency, shall not take place un-
til the international rate of exchange shall for
six months have averaged at least as hlgn as
17% pence sterling for the peso. 1t may De
that such an average will be attained for six
months before the beginning Of 1910, but there
is grave reason for doubling 1t, with the rate Of
exchange nowadays ranging from only to 10
pence.
The Chilian government has nominally gold
reserve amounting to II pence sterling against
every paper peso On the face Of the case, then,
it might as some have suggested, enact a law
for the immediate redemption Of the paper
money at u pence the peso. Though that would
he low rate Of redemption, 1t might be regard
ed as preferable to indefinite waiting for the
government to become able to do better. But the
unfortunate circumstance Is that the reserve Is
not now available. 1t is all held by German
bank at Berlin, and that bank is involved with
the Chilan government in a serious dispute over
the affairs Of the Arica-La Paz Railroad and
will not give up the money until that dispute IS
settled The inference is drawn by some shreWd
observers that the postponement Of the conver-
sion of paper currency into gold until after six
months of high exchange really means that the
whole business is to be shelved until the dis
pute mentioned is settled and Chill Is able TO
get hold Of her gold reserve
1t is particularly regrettable that her finances
should thus be under cloud, for In all other
respects Chill is a prosperous and progressive
country. of whose solyency there should never
be a shadow of doubt Her revenues are ample,
her commerce is large and profitable and her
debt is not excessive. She is of the coun-
tries that will greatly profit from the opening
of the Panama Canal, which will shorten by
two thousand miles. or IS per cent, the distance
to England which country now has 40 per cent
of her commerce, and by 400 miles, so per
cent the distance TO New York. The opening Of
the canal will probably mean a great increase
of American trade, which now amounts to less
than u per cent of Chilfs commerce, and it
would be auspcious if by that time the currency
Of the Andean republic could be placed upon
stable basis

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

A correspondent of THE jewelers. Circular
says that jewellers have reason to look with fear
and perturbation on the development In aerial IN
ventions because the successful operation of
airships and dirigible balloons will mean an op-
portunity for the smuggler to operate without
the chance OF being caught" The Circular" re-
marks this theory: The horrible vision comes
to Of balloons travelling the Mexican and
Canadian borders OF the country, incidentally
dropping at various points the entire product of
the De Beers Consolidated Mines and the Premier
Diamond Mining Company, neatly tied UP in
bags and used ballast, the transatlantic
sirships stopping at night top of our forty
and fifty story skyscrapers IN New York and
leaving the product Of the manufacturing 1ewelry

edge Of the customs inspectors

came back to life and told what she had seen in

"NEW mEA" RESTLTS.

An inspiring revelation of the effects Of the
Anew Idea" movement in New Jersey politics,
even upon those who have not associated them
selves with it and are not supposed to be in
sympathy with il, is TO be perceived in the
present campaign for the Republican Senate
rial nomination in Essex County. Senator
Colby the New Idea" leader, is a candidate
for the denomination which he has well earned
and TO which he would seem to be entitled by
precedent The Regulars have, however, put
Thomas L Raymond forward rival, and
that gentleman has now made public a declara-
ton OF principles and pledge of policies as
basis for his appeal for support at the pri-
maries.
It might fairly be set down to the credit of
the New Idea" movement that so excellent
man Mr.. Raymond has been named by the
Regulars as their candidate for the nomina-
ton. In the old days, before the establish
ment of open primaries. the machine did not
always select candidates of SO high ability and
character To the same cause is to be attrib-
uted the making of so specific and straight
forward declaration of principles and inten-
fions- Time was when The rank and file of the
party were compelled TO vote not only for
candidate in whose selection they had had no
voice. but also Of whose attitude upon important
issues they were not permitted to know any
thing save that the boss said that he was
all TlSUI
Another effect of the New Idea" campaign
may be perceived in the tenor and purport of
sir Raymond's statement. He declares himself
unequivocally in favor of the maintenance and
enforcement OF the existing excse-the "Bish
ops law, in a county in which the machine"
was formerly inclined 10 oppose such legisia-
ton He pledges himself TO vote for public
utilities bill containing, if necessary rate
making clause. He has received and will re
ceiye no contributions 10 his campaign fund
from corporal lions or individuals who might
profit from his legislative action, and he pledges
himself If elected to discharge his duties 10 the
people absolutely free from obligations 10 ad-
vance any special interests
We might wish that Mr.. Raymond had spoken
with similar freedom and frankness upon some
other important issues which he left unmen-
toned and We might disagree with him in
some of the views which he expresses But, on
the whole, his candidacy and his platform are
10 be regarded a vast improvement upon
some of those which may be recalled from
the DAYS before the New Idea" arose and
they constitute in themselves an Impressive
tribute 10 the candidate whom Mr.. Raymond
.s opposing He is opposing the New Idea
candidate. but he is doing by adopting y
large part Of the New Idea platform, and it
pey be .hat the voters VIII decide TO vote far

PROJECTILES FROM AIRSHlP lPS.

Whatever may be the outcome OF the elabo-
rate series of airship tests for which the United
States Signal Corps has made arrangements.
this much is certain-if other countries nre to
employ self propelled balloons Oh neroptnnes
for military purposes America si.nuld t.O.
Which type of airship will turn out to be the
most serviceable, how big such craft should
be and how fast questions yet to be an
swered but in aeronautic equipment the same
policy should be adopted In providing war
ships Inasmuch as several European powers
evince faith In the utility of the dirigible bal
loon for military service the United States
might have occasion for self-reproach some day
if 1t failed TO secure vehicles capable of per-
forming the functions.
For precisely what uses airships will finally
be found available by the American army has
been until recently, and perhaps is still, uncer-
tain. Reconnaissance alone would be i'm
:nenseIy facilitated with such craft. Perhaps
it will be entirely feasible and desirable, more
over. to employ them for more aggressive oper-
ations At the last international peace congress
an attempt was made to re-eStablish an old
agreement prohibiting the dropping Of torpe-
does from balloons. The United States sup
ported the proposition, and the Senate formally
ratified the declaration of this countrys assent
but peculiar situation has developed. The
American government is pledged to refrain
from the use of aerial projectiles only against
those nations which have assumed the same
obligation, and only In case they are not Joined
by allies not committed b the policy. II new
