Richard Croker
 Urges Pilgrimage
 To Ireland

London, May 19.-A movement which is on foot for great pilgrimage of Irish-Americans to Ireland next year of that country One of the originators of the movement is Richard Croker who said in an interview yesterday that he was glad to hear that the pro- ject was meeting with success.
 Whether 500. or 1000, or 50, 900 Irish-Americans cross the Atlantic and tour Ire1and,' he said, tmoney is bound to be left in the country and it's industries are bound to benefit. Such a scheme, if successfully carried out, may be the means of starting new industries.
 'I believe there is a great future be- fore Ireland, but it badly needs men with means to come and help it's de- velopment. There are more induce ments for people to come to Ireland than ever before. Better houses are being built, and the Land act has done g. lot of good in encouraging the people to stay at home and work their own land
 'sIt Is remarkable to think how few Irish-Americans or Americans of Irish parentage know anything about the Americans arrive at Queenstown and rush through to Liverpool without sec ing anything of the country. What may they find better in Italy than you can see here:" asked MT. Croker, as he pointed to the beautiful landscape surrounding his home.
 He added that he would like to see the pilgrimage made an annual af- fair.

During the panic which began in Oc- tober, 1907 and the effects of which on industrial and commercial interests are still felt in a material degree. the scarcity of money was the principal complaint. Now, the complaint is of plethora of money. The surplus re- serve of the associated banks of New York city was doubled last week, prin- cipaIly by the receipt of idle funds from the West.
 Europe needs money. and is willing to pay per cent. for 90 days with one renewal privilege, and New York is so flush of cash that it has made one loan of million to European parties at per cent. for seven months
 Another illustration of the prevalent ease in the money market is found in the facts that the city of Baltimore has just disposed of s1.75o, 900 in per cent. bonds at 1o5.177, and that the loan was over-subscrtbed about ten times.
 Yet the country's currency now is only larger than in October, 1907, by the amount of gold since produced by the mines, which fact indicates that the money stringency then was of ar tiffcial origin and designed to discredit President Roosevelt and his policies. Evidently, the money Kings" find no reason for discrediting the Taft poli- cies.

Senator Depew of New York, asserts that an income tax would be ''the most direct attack upon the protective sy1tern." for it would produce revenue now secured by tariff duties and thus Eender the latter unnecessary. This is A familiar argument which has done duty in the cause of high protection these many years. Carried to a log teal conclusion, it would abolish all di- rect taxes. as for instance the taxes on liquor, beer. etc. The fatal defect {n the Senator's argument is.i however, fhnt the apparent Congressional dis bosition is to carry the tariff duties be- yund the revenue producing point thnt is, to make them so high as to pFohibit importations. Such is one great fault of the Dingley tariff, and IL is not the least of the causes of the present. Treasury deficit which may reach the hundred million mark by the close of the fiscal year.

Really there is no such. thing as a & F S burgiar proof safel safe made, yet the kinds that are drill proof are called SO by courtesy''-so reads sen- fence from a treatise on safe-breaking bY an expert in the art who has liter ary proclivities. This is not happy in foruaation for those who pin their faith on safes. But the information is not qualified. as perhaps it should be. This literary burglar does not state how long it would take to break a safe which is drill proof" Yet this ele- ment of time is an important consid- eration. It is evidently a fact, how ever. that the construction of safes and their locks is constant study by safe breakers, and this literary bur g1&r as evidently believes that they lave solved all the problems thus far presented by the safe makers.

ROBBING THE DEFENcELESS
Hartford Courant.l

The grief of the attorney for the electric light combine is touching. It is robbery for a man to sell electricity to his next door neighbor, because he takes the money right away from the widows and orphans who constitute the main stay and contribute the prin- cipal capital of the electric companies. And yet it is no robbery at all, and the widows and orphans can continue to chirk up as usual, when a man sells gas to his neighbor and takes the money right away from the gas com panies which are also constituted chiefly of widows and orphans More over, it is only robbing widows and orphans when electricity is sold this way in twelve towns. In all the rest of the state the thing can be done right along, and the widows and or phans can go hang. The idea of any body getting that off to a Legislature made up of hard-headed Yankees.

combination of rhyme and practicality is Rockefeller novelty, welcome, however, as indicating a newly dis covered sense of humor. It may be added that whatever his subordinates may have done. John D. himself has ever carried the owls reticence into effect. Even his published 'Reminis- cences'' are modelled upon the prin- ciple embodied in the rhyme; they avoid the points of interest which would really interest the public.
