peake- They spend Saturday and Sun
day on the boat, which goeAahead with
its regular government work. The two
officials have their eyes open and learn
all they can about the details CT the
work. Sometimes they inspect build
ings or boats where repairs are con-
|templated.
These weekend excursions are a
valuable part of the service rendered
by the two officials. But they also look
upon the trips as something of reere-
alton which they enjoy. Therefore,
they pay for the raw food which they
consume. This is the only way in
which they add to the expense of the
boats, for each boat has its cook and
there is no extra expense for sleeping
accommodations. The cost for the
provisions is about 81 day. 1t would
not hurt the government much to foot
the bill-a thousand times as much is
paid for red tape. But the officials
prefer to pay themselves.

MIR. McAdoo's Charges.

Secretary McAdoo should rcmembei
that he is no longer managing Presi-
dental campaign, but administering a
great executive department of a great
government; for the charges he has
made against the greatest of our ma
tional banks almost pass belief.
The fall in the government ? per
cent bonds began with the fear of the
loss of the circulation privilege in the
proposed new currency bill. This has
been corrected, yet the decline con-
tinues and now the Secretary of the
Treasury charges conspiracy by Ger
tain great banks to destroy confidence
in these government obligations" The
reason he gives is the desire of pre-
venting currency legislation.
Mr.. McAdoo's charges are astound-
ing He suggests investigation. The
fall in the per cents was a natural
sequel to the currency bill. Despite
efforts at correction in restoring the
circulation privilege, there can be no
doubt that the value of these bonds
has been affected by the measure. This
appears TO be an administration of con-
spiracy charges. 1t was the lobby that
interfered with the tariff bill. and now
it is a bank conspiracy that seeks -
balk currency reform. Can there be
any possible good come of this eff
fort to inhame public opinion to make
out our great banks as conspiring to
manipulate government bonds in order
to defeat the very thing for which
banks have yearned many years, name
k, a safe and sane reform of our
financial system?
1t is but natural that banks should
believe that the proposed reform is
of so great vital interest to all as
to justify the demand OF care in the
legislation. They dislike haste which
may result in error 1t is just as nat
ural that the uneasiness among the
banks over the value of the ? per
cents should continue, because the
banks are the chief holders, to safe
guard their note issue.
Why should there be such haste in
the attempt to crowd the reform
through at this session. full of errors,
when quiet deliberation may lead to
legislation satisfactorily all around?

Oldest Nations Infantle Troubles.

The civil war in China is disheart-
ening to the friends of the republic.
Some of them may have been too
sanguine, expecting to see a perfect
republican system of government
founded instantly upon the ruins of
expelled despotism; but preservation
of the union of all the provinces is
the first thing necessary. Secession of
the southern half would be fatal to
both sections, making them an easy
prey for. Japan.
Yet reconciliation is made difficult by
the fact of the two leaders being in
opposite camps, Provisional President
Yuan Shi Kai resolutely fighting for a
central government and Dr. Sun Yet Sen
speaking for the rebel confederacy.
Both are patriots, but they have been
trained in different schools, and have
different ideas of governmental meth
DDS. Yuan, experienced in the Manchu
system of administration, sees but lit
tie use for Parliament, preferring to
apply the strong hand to accelerate
the work of reform; while DR.. Sun.
a radical with a Western education,
would make Parliament supreme. Our
sympathy is with the man who desires
a real republic displacing a Dictator
ship; at the same time we cannot be
blind to the probability that the great
mass of Chinese are not yet fit for
intelligent self-government.
There is probability that the rising
in the province south of the Yangtze-
Kiane River is not a rising of the peo-
pie, but : political movement insti-
gated by dissatisfied officials. There is
no evidence of popular discomfort, but
rather of the recruiting of forces by
an ambitious few.
The confederate government organ
lied in the southern capital has been
scattered, and what was proudly
named its Punish Yuan" expedition
has been routed by the smaller gov
eminent force. The confederacy has
in Kwangtung 10000 soldiers. Never
theless, if Yuan were to add to his
military movements a naval expedition
to Canton the rebellion might collapse
