APPEARED to result from the in6iffer-

PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S PART.

There is one man wno played important role in American hiecry who never got due credit for lis part in the purchase of Alaska Probably because Of the heat of the controversy that waged about him during his official tenure, historians have been slow to recognize anything that President Johnson did good However the fact is that Secretary of State ever received loyal cooperation from a President of the United States than did Secretary Seward from President Johnson and the cooperation marked than it was in the nego- tiations for the purchase of Alaska
 It might be well to nterpoate here that Secretary Seward and President Johnson friends and CO., workers in making the record of the executive branch of the Government during the nearly four years of President Johnson's Administration Not withstanding that he a victim of the assassna- tion conspiracy which resulted in the death of Lin ccln and came near death the result assault that was made upon him at the same time the martyred President mortay wounded by Booth s bullet Secretary Seward opposed throughout the whcle period to the Congressional reconstruction policy.
 Mere than dozen years ago, former Senator Wat son C. Squire who had made a careful study of Alaskan history, delivered address in Seattle upon Andrew Johnson's participation in the purchase of Alaska. He said the earnestness of the President in support of the proposition one of the things which kept the enthusiasm his Secretary of State at high pitch until the transaction was closed The SPresident, as well MT Seward interviewed Sena- tor after Senator to gain ratification of the treaty. Senator Squire said that if it had not been for this activity the President it is well within the probabilities that the treaty would have finally failed of ratification

Reserve Bank Foresight.
Cincinnati Enquirer. )

1t is quite natural that there should be much dis cusson of the action of the Federal Reserve banks of New York and Boston in advancing their redis- count rate to F per cent The confusion of opinion is excusable in part but in the criticisms directed against the banks there is displayed much ignorance of the money situation and much reckless surmise There wild guesses that it done to stop speculation in the stock markets, and Wall Street" has been critical There are wilder charges that it IS move of the banks to force deation of interior credits, and radicals of the farm bloc have fumed. In view of these criticisms and guesses is we'll to direct attention to few outstanding facts.
 In the first place. this is the first advance of the rate Of these two reserve banks in two years. Dur ing this interval the commercial demand for funds forced the other banks, with the exception of San Francisco to raise their rates from to F per cent. The continued demand for funds in az riculture, manufacturing and trade in all other sections was beginning to the interior banks to increase their calls the New York and Boston banks for accommodation It became patent to tEe in- telligent fnanciers that action must be taken by these centers to prevent the demand them attain ing abnormal proportions So they raised their rate
 to what the interior banks previously forced to make, and few days later, San Francisco followed with like action. Thus there now is a uniform rate throughout the country
 The wisdom of this action will be apparent The uniform rate will prevent any undue concentra- tion of borrowing the financial resources of any one district and it should tend to prevent dslocaton Of credits by stepping the undue drafts for funds from ono district to another. Patiently, the move is not aimed at the stock markets particularly nor at the dehation of interior credits, radicals have charged The best and most conservative judgment is that it is intended to effect, it is likely to do such a balancing of credits will maintain steady supply of funds for industrial and legitimate trade operation through the period of business activity that promises to continue well up to the end of the year lh adit1on, 1t may operate to banking re- sources and facilitate the work of the United States Traesury it's imperative refunding of maturing ob legations between now and July, which are estimat ed to require s1,500, 900, 000

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

All of the candidates both of the municipal tickets good men, capable and clean. Nothing can be truthfuly urged against any of thom All of them worthy and the taxpayers and citizens generally will get good service matter who is elected With the slightest reflection single candidate on the other ticket however, The Empire believes the Citizens Ticket shohld be chosen.
 The law contemplates that there shall be con tinuity of municipal government. That is why it has been provided that three of the City Ccuncimen should hod-oyer only three be elected each year There is only hold-over Councilman this year. On the Citizens Ticket there three members of the present Council. There Is another candidate the Citizens Ticket who recently served well Mayor These fully informed the status of muni- cipal matters through experience with them. They know all about the plans of the present Adminstra- tan which has been specially satisfactory pur- pose to carry them to fruiton This includes the suit to compel the electric lighting company to ac- cert the lghing heating and power rates for cleo trLcity specified in the ordinance adopted last year.
 Therefore the Citizens Ticket stands for the con tinnity of municipal government, the idea behind the law which provided for the election of only three Counclmen each year.
