As a lecal NEWS paper and Ad~ vertising Mediumit bas ne competitor. ‘The truly remarkable and altogether in- explicable combination performance of Sen- ators Peffer and Hill which took place in the Senate yesterday In the presence of a large, distinguished, and very much sur- prised audience, gave Senator Gorman an opportunity to rise to the full stature of statesmanship; ‘and the opportunity was not lost. Using direct language that wes incapable of perversion, the senior Senator from Maryland presented 2 broad gauge and patriotic argument.at which the would- be-disturbers threw spit-balls without ef- fect. Merely to have it said in Kansas that he had once more assailed the “money power,” Senator Peffer introduced a resolu- tion by the terms of which, had it been adopted, Secretary Carlisle would have been called upon to inform the Senate whether certain national banks were not conduct- ing thetr business in violation of law. Now everyone who has even the slightest ac- quaintance with banking methods must know that during such periods of distur- bance contingencies arise which must be provided for or universal ruin would re- sult. Mr. Peffer, who is not supposed to know anything about sound finance or thoughtful politics, did not surprise any- one by his senseless raid upon the banks, but there was astonishment when Senator David Bennett Hill—representing the great- est of mercantile constituencies—moved to the support of the bewhiskered westerner. Just why he did so has not yet been figured out. Does he desire to embarrass the ad- ministration simply because the adminis- tration’s head butted him out of the Cni- cago convention? Is it a bid for populist support in 18967 Is Hill jealous of Gorman’s influence in and out of the Senate? Or does he desire nothing more than the {nstitution of suits against a number of banks in New York and other cities merely because they are and have been doing the best they pos- sibly could to avert panic and to re-estab- ish business on a sound and mutually profitable basis? But whatever Senator Hill's motive—and it certainly is of the demagogic variety—he failed entirely to everset the words of Senator Gorman, who said that the case was far from being sew. 2 he “occur ee te ea lnpossible for the banks to lterally com- iy with the law. They violated te by Fe sing el resented, though the amount was on deposit. ‘They issued clearing house certificates by the millions aa they are doing today. They did it openly. The Secretary of the Treasury and the controller of the currency, whose sworn duty it is to enforce the law, may not have had official information of it. the Zational banks has ‘a pe- riod arrived half as threatening as the one depression why I'll work for that and hope for better,” he should be allowed to work, and if the famous governor of Colorado is still anxious to wade in blood up to his horse's bridle let him get accustomed to it first by going fetlock deep in the gore of men who are trying to put a stop to honest labor, and at the same time calling loudly for bread. ———_~++2+—__ Some apprehension is being felt as to whether Congress will not tacitly reform the calendar so as to leave the coming Thanksgiving day out. >< -—___ If the country could be saved with words, this Congress coyld give her an insurance policy covering the next twenty centuries at least. ———__ + ee —__ If there is anything that would further distress and help to bring on a relapse in the financial panic it would be a big mob demonstration. ——____+ e+ ____ Emma Goldman is not afraid of bomb- shells.

Had tt gone through there would have been instant and extremely distressing re- sponse. Prevented from extending aid in their own way—recognized by financiers as the best and safest for all the parties con- cerned—hundreds of solid institutions would ave been embarrassed and thousauds of business firms who have so far with itood the pressure must have gone to the wall; about such a state of affairs Pefter and David B. Hill yester- hands! They will reap “heir re- Senator Gorman 1s to be congrat- on having come down off the 1ence; the walking !s so much firmer on the 8 Statesmen who have not yet deszeadcd +02 - To those who only see the situation from afar it would seem as though there was much unnecessary suffering at Brunswick, Ga. Some days ago a case of yellow fever was developed in that city. and as a not unnatural consequence there was a scare of the most violent sort. Common sense would indicate that an effort should then have been made by the muntcipal authori- ttes to calm the tummlt, but as a matter of fact the first man to lose seif-possession was Brunswick's mayor. who, in an alarm- ing proclamation, warned everybody wio could to flee from the presence of the dis- ease which kills more through fright than by any other method. Responding to the mayor's appeal to move away. thousands of citizens left their homes and came north- ward, and now the almost depopulated town suffers from starvation rather than from Yellow Jack. The factories and ware- houses are closed, and the four thousan1 or so of people whe remain, being about all of the poorer classes, are actually hungry be- cause employment, with its consequent Fecompense, is not now possible. Relief for the sufferers must be at once provided, but there would have been little or no neceswity for relief had Brunswick's mayor kept his head. ee In the little town of Scottsville, Ky., is a business frm that trades under the name and style of Ham Brothers. At Scottsville, as in many other places, the financial situ- ation appeared to be somewhat shaky and one of the banks had for a time to sus- pend. With that same cautionary sense whiea ts common to the old women who Bide thetr money in stockings and other strange and insecure receptacles the Ham Brothers kept the currency they acquired im a safe and the safe was in their store. Tuesday aight a couple of individuals who were intent on relieving their own financial distress made burglarious entry into the store and the safe, taking therefrom more than ten thousand dollars. No bank failure could posstbiy have been so disastrous, for out of the worst sort of a wreck a large percentage of the deposit would surely have been saved. Individual hoarding has more to do with the present stringency than any legislation. soe From several manufacturing centers comes evidence of an improved and tmprov- ing condition of affairs. Many factories— large and small—are preparing to start up once more, and although only a particularly favored few may operate to the extent of their capacity still the half loaf ts infin- itely preferable to no bread. When Con- Gress has done something to restore confi- dence in financial affairs business will be- come much more active, but so long as there is doubt as to intelligent congres- sional action, so long will there be timid- ity and distrust in the business world. see Sociologists and philinthropists will note with interest and perhaps with profit that two men who took part in a parade of the unemployed in Newark.

From the New York Herald. ‘There has been some anxiety as to where the senior Senator from the empire ‘sate Would turn up in the all important contest upen which the welfare of the people in so large a vaeasure depends. Representing commonvealth which contains the flnan- clal citadel of the country, the great center of its trade and commerce, it was hoped that fis voice would ring out like an alarm bell warning all waverers of the dangers of delay and exhorting them to re-establish our ‘currency on a sound basis and avert further suffering and disaster. It must be confessed that he comes con- spicuously to the surface for the first time in very queer company—standing side by c temptible side with the wild-haired Senator Peffer of Kansas; and backing him in an attempt to excite distrust of the banks of this city and to subject them to annoyance at this su- bremely critical period, when they are not only carrying the burdens of the whole mercantile community, but extending aid to every part of the country. The populist from Kansas might be forgiven for his res- olution asking whether the national banks of this city “are now being conducted in violation of law.” His knowledge of the subject {s doubtiess limited. But the Sena- tor from this state who demanded the pas sage of the resolution stands in a very queer light. He is ins position to learn at any time the status of the banks and their Immediate relation to business interests, It is contemptible to insinuate that. the banks are doing business tn violation of the law, and Bttle short of criminal to increase the’ distrust that pervades all classes at this time. ———_- Hill a Public Enemy. From the New York Times. We ventured not long since to describe as public enemies some of the men at Wash- imgton and elsewhere who have in various unworthy ways striven to put off the day of relief to the suffering commerce and in- dustries of the country. So good a repub- lican as Mr. John Field’ of Philadelphia de- nounces them as “traitors to thetr coun- try.” Senator Hill's action puts him within this category and well toward the head of the list. For this species of treason there is, unfortunately, no public penalty. Hill is_anyway one of the most difficult of ving mven to punish. The execration of the com- munity cannot be visited upon him, for he had it all before. The time has long gone by when he could be socially ostracised save by his present familiars, and that would be an honor. He loses no reputation by the Je, because he had only ill repute. In short,’ he is one of the very few men in public life who have so slight a stake in the national welfare that they can ventu without present or prospective Inconve- nience, to raise their voices in a wanton en- vor to augment public perils which all other men. some in one way and some in another, but with equal sincerity and earn- estness, are striving to avert. From the New ¥ Senator Peffer’ Tribune @esire to embarrass the national banks by raising doubts as to their proper conduct Is inexplicable on any theory of patriotism which does not. dis- credit his intelligence. The action of Sena- tor Hill is even more astonishing, for he is to be somewhat familar with «l affairs. ‘The national banks ore all in their power to sustain credit and tide over the present trouble, and any tion by the Senate tending to disturb true, and then on the other hand it confidence in them cannot fail to increase be only a campaign canard intended to | apprehension and do harm. destroy Mrs. Lease’s standing with Uy ——_ ++ populist part. ogical Result. —__—_ +e. ___ Froc Courter-Jour An ii sign of the times comes York people's party convention from Denver—the center of most of the resolutions that the government a ae i od weckcnane c of pretty much every- trouble in the west. band of wo!
