A Danger in the Treasury.

Under normal conditions a statement
OF the United States Treasury showing
the cash held in and by that institution
reports the holding Of approximately
$40, OOO, 600 in national bank notes. The
amount held on January 1, 1908, was
$1l, O9e, 231. Toward the end OF April the
holdings rose to $50, OOO, 900, and Mr..
CHARLES N. FOWLER broke out on the
floor Of the House with an assertion that
the United States Treasury had -sus-
pended gold payments THE SUN ex-
planned the situation accurately by at
tributing it to a Temporary physical
d~islocation OF the machinery Of the
T%reasurer's Office
Notwithstanding the efforts Of the
Treasurer and his Office force, the hold
ing Of these notes increased. II passed
the 500, OOO, 900 mark and at one time the
sum exceeded SCI, 900. BY the end
of last week the activities of some 800
counters and sorters had succeeded in
bringing the total down to a little less
than 500, 0OO, 900. This represents ma
tional bank notes in process OF redemp-
ton by the Treasury. 1t means the
holding Of a huge sum in idleness in the
Treasury vaults, a large and needless
expense to the Government, and a seri-
GUS reduction in the nations supply Of
gold and it's equivalent. The process Of
bank note redemption is simple enough
in theory, but few persons have yer
the faintest notion Of the machinery and
its operation.
An explanation Of the present situa-
ton would proceed somewhat as follows:
As a general proposition 1t may be said
that the thousands Of banks in towns and
small cities do a large part Of their bust
ness In real money, while the scores Of
banks in what are known as reserve
cities do the greater part OF their BUSH
ness in checks. The surplus cash Of
the country banks, abnormally large
this year, is sent by those banks to the
banks OF the larger cities. These ship
ments include large amounts Of national
bank notes. The banks Of the reserve
cities, having no use for such sums
in cash, send the bank notes to the Treas
ury for what is known as redemption, =
which Is, in that part Of the process,
more properly a conversion Of the money
into a form more convenient for the
purposes Of the larger banks, In the
Treasury these bills must be sorted
and counted. The sorting and counting
Of more than 500, Ooo, 900, with other
millions steadily pouring in, requires
many hands and many weeks. II the
force Of counters and sorters is inade-
quate, the money must be stacked UP
until the force is increased or until the
incoming food lessons. This Is the ex-

A Street Railway Monopoly In Havana.
In view of the unpopularity Of monop-
olies In this country and Of the vigorous
shaking of the spear that knows no
brother at such institutions here it
Is somewhat surprising to learn that
with the approval Of the Honorable
LUKE f. WRIGHT, Secretary Of War of
the United States and presumably
with the approval Of the President,
an absolute monopoly has been granted
TO the Havana Electric Railway Com
pany in Havana, Cuba, La Lucho, a
newspaper owned by one Of the Havana
directors OF the company, says Of the
recently issued decree granting the
concession:

still Another Product OF the Silly
Season.

We referred the other day TO the talk
about an alliance between the United
States and Japan. 1t was needless to
waste many words upon such a prepos-
ferrous proposal. An equally absurd
suggestion is embodied in a telegram
sent the other day from Washington to
the London Times, and reproduced in
the Paris Mdtin. The suggestion is that
we should enter into an alliance with
Germany which should be practically a
counterpart OF that which Great Britain
has contracted with Japan.
The statement ought to carry its own
r~efutation. 1t is true, OF course, that
Germany Is the only great European
Power which has not entered into a
treaty with Japan guaranteeing the re-
spective territorial possessions Of the
signatories; but what interest and what
purpose could Germany and the United
States have in common in the Far East?
The United States Is honestly for the open
door; sincere in affirming its determi-
nation not to encroach upon the terri
torial integrity OF China. Germany, on
the other hand, started the series Of mu-
tilations Of Chinese territory when IN a
ridiculous pretext she seized the Bay Of
Kiaochou and the adjoining district,
and subsequently eItorted from China a
lease Of the dismembered tract. Under
the circumstances the motive prompting
q combination with Germany az regards
our Far Eastern policy would justly be
viewed with suspicion at Pekin.
The advocates Of an alliance with Ger
many assume that the object Of 1t would
be a combined naval demonstration
against Japan, Are those who talk in
this foolish way unaware OF the fact that
on August IL, 1905, Great Britain and
Japan signed a treaty Of alliance whereby
each Of the parties binds itself to assist
the other whenever the latter Is attacked
by one or more great .Powersf What
does this mean2 1t obviously can sig
nifty nothing but this, that II the United,
States and Germany were TO form q
coalition for the purpose Of isolating or
coercing japan, Great Britain would be
constrained to send q great array Of bat
tleships to tho support OF the Japanese.
