banks will be less able to take care
of the crops next fall than usual This
means firm rates for money when the
crop movement begins, and New
York may be called upon for assist
ance to larger extent than for sew
eral years. Little aid can be obtain
ed from the Treasury in event of a
pinch; for Government funds are at
a low ebb, and the borrowing capa-
city of the Treasury is also crippled,
while there is no prospect of any
thorough currency legislation during
the present session of Congress. The
monetary movement therefore is one
which will require close watching
and sltillful plotting during the next
two or three months.
Our railroad situation is also not
without its embarrassing features.
Gross earnings, it is true, exhibit
handsome increases, but net returns
do not show corresponding gains, and
in many cases they are showing actual
losses. The latter may become still
more apparent when the recent ad-
vances in wages begin to show their
effect. The railroads had hoped to
recoup themselves by an advance in
rates. To limited extent they have
succeeded: but all further efforts
to advance rates are sure to meet
with very strenuous opposition on
the part of shippers; and in the pre-
sent hostile attitude of public opinion
the chances of the railroads being
able to compensate themselves for
recent increased OUTLAWS is not at all
brilliant, The fate of the Taft Rail-
road bill is also a matter of much i'm.
portance. That measure is now in
very drastic form, as though it can.
not pass in its present shape the un-
certainty is discouraging to the large
financial interests, and Europe, it
must be remembered, is much in

towards the railroads.
General business is quiet: some

Chicago. April 27.-Romances of the

today, in one of the most remarkable
gatherings of former Confederate and
Union soldiers held since the close of
the war. Hundreds of former associ-

Grant from every part of the United

of the dead warrior and statesman to
celebrate the S8th anniversary of his
birth.
An interesting feature of the celebra-
ton was the fact that the orator of
The day, Colonel James Hamilton
Lewis, was the son of one of the Con-
federate generals who surrendered to
Gen. Grant. In the audience were hun
dreds of former soldiers who bore arms
against General Grant during the war.
Gen. Frederick Dent Grant violated his
fixed rule not to take part in the cele-

HAWAIPS MONEY FOR HAWAII.

One million dollars OF railway
bonds underwritten by Theo. II. Da-
vies & Co. represents one OF the
splendid achievements for home in
.vestment OF capital gained from the
prosperity of these Islands.
This is the sort OF business that
builds a bigger, and better. and more
prosperous Hawaii. Extension OF
transportation facilities means the
evelopment of the country in all
lies of industry. Investment OF
surplus moneys in the securities Of
fered to-enable this extension to be
carried on assures the people of the
Islands that fair share of the prod
ucts of their prosperity will be kept
at home.
The Bulletin commends this
fiotation and the whole proposition OF
home investment to the people who
have been using the Territory OF
Hawaii and It's prosperous industries
as a machine for grinding our their
dollars, which they in turn throw
into the Golfers of the mainland OF
any other outside section of the
world, for the benefit and develop
ment of-some other place than Ha-
wall. -.
Many conservative fnanciers dc
not IKE Hawaiis methods of build
ing railroads on bonds and waiting
for prosperity to make the stock val
liable. But the men who are for the
upbuilding OF Hawaii can forgive
this, when the enterprise holds
money in the Territory and guaran'
tees broader development. And some
of the people criticizing the propo
sition are probably putting theil
money into outside CANDLES where
they don't even know whether the,
own the land where their hole in thu
ground is located, or whether there
is anything more than some prett,
! certificates OF stock as assets fol
their company"

And Maine Is the home of Mrs. L.,
NJ. N. Stevens, who is constantly at
work "arouslng public opinion"
II the issue of Prohibition were put
before the Maine voters today to be
decided on a majority vote, the State
would unquestionably declare against
Prohibition. As conditions are now,
Prohibition is a constitutional pro-
vision, and as suggested In the ad-
dress OF President Taft before Yale
students, the people of the country
districts have sufficient strength in
the Legislature to prevent the re-
submission of the issue to the people.
The farce OF Prohibition in the
State OF Maine at the present time
is SO palpable that 1t has come close
to accomplishing the overthrow OF
Republican control of the State, and
revolt against 1t furnishes the basis
OF the fear among Republican leaders
Of that commonwealth that they may
suffer defeat this fall in the Congress
sional district formerly represented
by Congressman Littlefield, and also
the district where Neal Dow lived
when he started the ball of Prohibi-
ton rolling.
The State Of Maine, with all Its
Prohibition laws, has, or exercises,
less actual control over the liquor
traffic within its borders than does
the Territory OF Hawaii under the
present license law.

And from nearby Kentucky comes
family the glad echo, "Hooray fol

Episcopal Bishop of Tennessee rather
than the conclusions of Kentucky.
Accepting the reception given the
comment OF the Governor OF Ten
nessee as fair sample Of how local
Prohibitionists do things, We pre-
sumo that they will now discover
that the Episcopal Bishop of Tonnes
see, who dares express an honest
opinion on the practical phases OF

fool and criminal, or that he may
be one of those unfortu ties who
expects to gum-shoe his way past st.
