GERMANY AND ENGLAND.
Small Prospect at Present Of War Be-
tWaen Them.

tween Them.
We believe the Boston News bureau
was the first paper last year to reveal
to financial interests how near to war
were Germany and England.
We, therefore, think 1t pertinent to
say that at the present time there is
less prospect of war between England
and Germany than there has been for
the past thirty years.
or course, an accident might change
the situation over night. but all the " ar
talk at the present time in both coun-
tries is only for the purpose of stimu-
lating naval appropriations.
Germany has today less ability to 90
to war than she has had in a genera
ton. She Is over-expanded and her In
dustries are founded upon an export
trade in which there is very little profit
Forty per cent of the copper that Ger
many imports she exports in manufac-
tured shape, but her exports are un-
der the sharpest kind Of competition.
The extreme German position is well
illustrated in her bounty fed" beet su-
gars. Formerly England refined her
raw sugars in several factories In her
southern countries. When Germany
stimulated her beet sugar industry
with liberal bounties the English sugar
refiners appealed to the government Tor
aid. But under the English free trade
policy this was refused and declaration
was made, England must buy her
food in the cheapest market OF the
world, and IL Germany or anybody else
wants to pay for the privilege Of feed
ing her, England must accept 1t even
though the English sugar refining In
dustry Is blotted out"
This policy was strictly adhered to-
The sugar refineries were closed but In
short time they were re-opened as
canning factories, Germany supplying
the bounty paid beet sugar, and the
islands and colonial possessions of Eng
land the fruit.
The result was greater prosperity
and sugar profits for England, but no
great profit for Germany.
The real situation today is that Ger
many Is expanding a navy for the for
eign commerce which supports her in
dustries and employs her labor at low
wages. but in which there Is no great
profit.
1t Is figured, in the realm Of finance
that after Germany pays her high food
bill, and liberal interest rates upon her
borrowed capital, she has not much on
the credit side Of the balance sheet;
and this does not take account Of her
increasing war budget and naval taxes
If Germany had the moral courage to
do it her best course would be to dis
mantle her naval ships and go In for
more commerce and more profits.
But should she now become involved
in war she would stand isolated in the
world and the destruction Of her com
merce on the seas would be the de-
struction Of her industries on the land
and her own poor soil will not support
her enlarged population from agricul-
ture.
Germany's problem is no longer an
international naval problem. 1t Is
problem Of her own internal finance
and the world today has nothing to
fear from Germany.
The Agadir incident of last year
pricked her naval bubble and showed
again modern finance, and not modern
explosives, the underlying war power

'hs Unsympathstie Audisnes.-An-

The unsympathetic Audienee.-An-
drew Lipscomb. who practices law be-
fore the courts of Maryland, was trying
his first case before Judge named
Merrick. Lipscomb, wishing to impress
the Judge, was, in the language Of the
bar. right lippy" in his remarks to the
eminent gentleman. Finally, Merrick
lost patience and exclaimed:
"Sit down! Sit down, sir! II you
don't sit down I'll fine you for contempt
of court"
Lipscomb sat down, but turned to
young lawyer beside him, and remark
ed in an undertone:
That's the crustiest, most opinion
ated old Judge ever saw. I'll show him
where he gets off, He's an old fool"
IF you talk like that I'll beat you
up!" replied the young lawyer. He's

How sad!" said Lipscomb smoothly.

for his pockets would hold only tiny
part Of his income.
The magistrates soon realized that
Hull had the best Of the bargain. They
offered him large sum in cash II he
would surrender his privilege. But he
merely answered that he was satisfied,
and kept on coming. King Charles Of
England became alarmed when he
learned Of the trespass upon the royal
prerogative Of coinage. But Hull had
1862 that no new shillings would be
cast. And for many years after Hull
kept on coming shillings bearing the
date Of 1852, and the king, seeing no
new shillings Of later years, believed
that his loyal subjects had obeyed him.
Hull manufactured and put into circu
lation enough coins to keep the settlers
fairly well supplied with ready money.
In 1886 enterprising business men OF
Boston undertook to establish a bank
1t lasted only three years. Later ef-
forts to establish banks in Boston were
checked by parliament. England dis
couraged banking, as we'll as manufac-
turing. in New England, desiring that
the money affairs Of the colonies be
handled in London, as we'll as that the
supply of clothing, tools and other
things required by the colonists be
made in English factories. In 1890 the
Bay Colony issued its first notes, in or
der to secure cash for carrying on its
part in King Williams war. 1t subse-
quently issued additional notes. as II
required cash. These notes were ap-
portioned among towns in the colony.
and they bore interest at the rate Of
four or FIVE per cent. They were sub
ject to much depreciation.
With the notes and with the pine
tree shillings and other coins brought
from England, the colonists were able to
struggle along in financial affairs until
Revolutionary times. Then the Conti-
mental government issued paper money
In order to raise funds for carrying on
the war. The depreciation Of this
money was great. In 1881 a soldier
sold $1,7S0 in paper money for $50 in
silver.
After the Revolution Hamilton estab-
lished the financial system Of the new
country. He provided that the United
States should assume the national debt
In full, and that a national bank and a
mint should be established in Philadel-
phia- Congress voted that gold, silver
and copper coins be made at the mint,
and that dimes, dollars and cents be le-
gal tender in place Of shillings, pence
and farthings. SO the old colonial mon
etary system passed into history when
the colonies Of England became states
of the United States.-Boston Globe.

New York. September 1s.-The al

han. secretary Of Police Commissioners
Waldo, with George {. Norton named
as supposed collector OF police
graft" IVES again the subject OF in.
curry to-day at the resumption Of the
aldermanic investigation OF police
corruption. Commissioner Waldo was
one of the witnesses aud ne was ques-
toned regarding Sheehan in this and
other connections. Mr.. Waldo de-
clared that Sneehans duties were
merely secretaTial, ana that he had
nothing TO do with departmental al
, fairs other than in this capacity.
Some surprise was created to-day
By the announcement that Emory X.
Buckner. counsel for the committee
had received a letter from Charles II.
Hyde, former city chamberlain. ask
ing permission to testify before the
committee and waving immunity.
Norton sent similar letter.

cording 20 the iat:e:'s testimony. that
Norton maintained branch office Tor

cussed Sheehan's name with johnson
in connection with Norton.

1t was On Hayes's information. John
son testified yesterday. that he had
Norton investigated by detectives who
trailed him to Sheehan's house.
The ex-sherin to-day declared that
his information concerning Norton was
based solely on rumors and that he did
not know who Norton was supposed to
collect for.
What did YOU do when Johnson sent
you the report that Norton and Shee.
han had been found together? asked
Buckner.
Il read it and tore it UP. I thought
i, was foolish"
Police Commissioner Waldo was
asked IL Sheehan had told him Of the
visit 60 Johnson's detectives.
Yes" said Mr.. Waldo. He said
that two men had come TO his home and
acted in suspicious manner and rep
resented themselves as officers OF the
law. He had notified the police. and
two detectives were sent TO see IL the
men were violating the law.
The commissioner was asked Il Shee-
han had known anything of the Reith
afidarit. produced by Waldo yesterday.
in which Police Captain Reith swore
that Johnson had demanded $4,000
from him as the price OF his pr ONO
ton.
Not that know OF. II was none

sioner.
Thomas J. Hassett. who was secre-
tary for Mayor Mcclellan. emphat!-

johnson had taken the captain to see
him as the man who would help him
get his promotion. He didn't even
