PR4cTJcAL CONSIDERATIONS.

Southern and Western Senators and Repre-
sentatives who have studied the Aldrich cur
rency bill are reported TO be opposed to it as
discriminating against their sections, and they
well may be, for no bank could expect to avail
itself of the provisions of the bill unless it
were situated in the great bond market of the
country. Even the advocates of the measure
are said to acknowledge this. But this is not
all One object of currency reform is sup
posed to be the impartfng of such elasticity to
the currency as to furnish an abundant supply
of money for the movement of the crops in those
parts of the country from which the crops are
TO be shipped Would this bill do that? OBJ
viously the extra notes provided for would not
come out unless in some way there was profit to
the bankers over and above the per cent tax.
If such notes moved crops they would do so
only on very expensive basis. Would the
South and West be satisfied with that?
There is another consideration which affects
the people of the country generally. The new
bill if passed, would furnish reason for banks
TO enter the field of savings bank investments
and compete with savings banks for their
choicest bonds If the national banks really
should buy bonds for supplementary circulation
obviously the price of bonds would rise and the
actual interest upon existing issues would de-
cline, while subsequent issues would be put
forth at lower rates OF interest Thus savings
banks would be driven into inferior fields of
investment or would have TO be content with
less interest and pay lower dividends TO de-
positors The artificial stimulation of bond
values would be a good thing for men with
bonds TO SELL but a bad thing for the people
who invest their savings through the savings
banks in the bond market
To those friends Of currency reform who are
disposed to accept the present measure as 'the
most the country would stand for just nOw,"
but who expect better things later-a credit
currency perhaps, or a central bank, il may
be when the people emerge from their pres
ent darkness-let us suggest reflection upon
what effect the passage of the present bill
would have the prospects of ultimate,
real reform. Let us suppose that the bill is
passed and the national banks actually do
load up with S250.000.G00 worth Of county,
CITY. state and railroad bonds. The market
price of those bonds is raised by the process
VIII any Senator or Representative then dare
suggest that this law be repealed and that the
country go upon basis of asset currency?
Bonds would inevitably be depressed by the
banks selling this S2J00O0000 worth Every
city. town and county in the nation whose
bonds were held the basis of circulation
would he threatening punishment TO its Rep
resentative if he voted 10 change the currency
system The suggested scheme would tie the
country indefinitely TO bond secured currency
with all the force of those local interests which
always predominate in the Congressional mind.

The debt limit has rot been reached. An

That is rigid economy Then there is that

below the debt limit and with an ingenuity ana
resource unequalled by the many and various
minor civic organizations which specialize in
suggesting ways for spending municipal money
If finds a thousand modes of getting rid of the
funds All involve contracts which reward the
civic spirits
As for the budget itself. the Mayor speaks
with remarkable confidence of the expenditure
of about S150.O00.000. L would take really
extraordinary man to say that dollar or two
of so vast a sum did not get astray, especially
considering the utter lack of system with which
the budget is prepared. The Board Of Estimate
knows of the disposition OF nothing. but only OF
lump sums prepared with view to horizontal
cut. The cut is applied with sense of ruth
less virtue. except. of course. where a little
judcious logrolling saves a department esti-
mate intact. Then the lump sum goes forth TO
be spent no one central authority can find out
how And withal, If this proves economy. no
department ever has enough to manage its af-
fairs effectively, ANY one circulating casually
among city employees can see. however. that the
city's funds are spent with a rigid economy"
of personal effort. That is a rigid economy
which can always be counted upon.

REFORMS IN THE NAVY.

Senator Hales purpose in introducing Dill
increasing salaries in the navy and dealing with
various problems of naval organization and ad-
ministratiOn was, apparently, TO stimulate dls-
cussion of the nayy's present needs. The Sen
ator from Maine has offered certain Suggestions
which he desires to have frankly discussed in
Congress- He does not pretend to have found
a solution of the VexatiOus controversies WhlcS
have created so much friction between line and
staff and have aroused the suspicion or the
public that naval officers are not intent enough
on composing their differences in a broad
minded and sensible way. Undoubtedly Mr.
Hale feels that some attempt to allay antaSo-
nSmS should be made before confidence in the
ability of staff and line TO live together mar
moniOuSly and work for the good not OF q corps
but of the whole service is seriously impaired
Jealousies between line and staff tradi-
tiOnal and there is disposition to regard them
as inevitable. Yet they lead to unseemly dis
puteS and contribute to unrest and inetticiency
In a model navy there should be no discords be-
tween the different corps based on what one
corps regards as the usurpation or unwarranted
claims of another. 1t must be remembered that
modern growth has greatly diminished the rel
ative Importance of the line-the old fighting,
navigating and universally dominant branch
of the service. This changed condition was
recognized by the line itself when it accepted
amalgamation ten years ago with the engineer
ing corps; for the vast increase in the scope
and responsibility of the work of the engineer
officers made it iElpracticable to treat them
any longer as Mere auxiliaries. The enlarged
line must do the engineering work aboard
ship Just as it does the work which falls IN
the army to the commissary, quartermasters
adjutant generals and inspection departments.
Whether a further amalgamation is desirable
is an open question.
As to changes in pay, no increase for the
navy could fairly be made without relative
increase for the army. Navy salaries are based
on the army schedule so that it would be sim
pier perhaps, TO begin with a readjustment
in the army.
Mr.. Hale's proposal to maintain the Naval
Academy on its present basis, but to turn the
great majority of its graduates back into
civil life, will doubtless meet with vigorous op-
position. The navy is still under-officered. and
it has not yet reached its maximum growth. IL
is better to have too many officers than too few,
and so far as can see there is no real neces-
sity for the restriction of admissions to the
grade of midshipman to seventy-fve year.

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

Ernst Muller in his ''Reisebder,' tells this
story: In the matter of tips to servants of high
and low degree there is no one who can compare
with the New Yorker. He uses neither judgment
nor arithmetic in making these donations. Some
times [ have compared this quality with a certain
kind of hysteria. The woman who has faint
spells is seldom overcome when alone but usually
in the presence of those who, she thinks, will
sympathize with her. So it is with the big tip New
Yorker When he takes his luncheon alone his tip
is of the normal kind; when he is accompanied by
a guest his lberality' makes Itself manifest. and
when he is the host at large gathering he has
a regular fit of generosity. At least, some of the
people who live in the same house with the hys-
terical woman usually know how tc look upon

supply of naturally potable water shouio DC
abandoned and given over to pollution. NOT
long ago one Of the professional sages Oh Ireh
ton put forth the amazing proposltoh 'na. an
streams of water were naturally intended TO
be used as sewers. and that they should, there
fore he abandoned sources OF potabie water
and our supplies should be drawn from arteslah
wells That was counsel or madness anu
despair.
We should say, on the contrary. that no run
ming stream is naturally meant to be sewer
and that anv such use of one is a perversion.
The sewage itself is too valuable to be wasted
in that fashion and the water is certainly TOO
valuable thus to be spoiled. In well populated
countries the supplies of potable water are ~
great value and are to be jealousy sa1eguarueu,
especially those from lakes, springs anu
streams For they are in most cases prefer
able to the supply from artesian or other weiis'
for variety of reasons. The quality OF spring
and stream water is usually far better, for all
purposes than that of well water ana the cost
of utilizing it for urban supplies is much less.
The one conceivable advantage when arte-
sian well water can have over surface water Is
its sunnosed greater freedom from contamina
tion But that freedom is by no means abso-
I,ta and impregnable In the case of artesian
wells of moderate depth. at any rate. there is
real and considerable danger of contamination,
and that danger, which may exist in the case OF
anv well. however deep. is much intensified by
the prevalence of the very policy which drives
men to the use of wells-namely, the reckless
pouring out of crude and poisonous sewage into
streams and lakes and elsewhere. When
streams of liquid poison are let loose on or IN
tbe soil there is no telling whittier they may
not flow or what mischief they may not do
The only safe policy is to destroy their vru-
10
let loose If that is done springs and
streams and lakes will be available for the sup
Div which is so much needed and which they
can best provide.

United Charities the association also gave aid
TO 72d persons.
The financial troubles had effect on contribu-

appeals for aid has been % per cent
The report expresses regret a the failure of the
city to acquire land for the ocean park at Rock

suffering from tuberculosis of the bone and glands
has been promised to the association in this park
and it succeeded about eighteen months ago in
raising s250.0GO for a building.
The association has devoted much time to teach
