His selection would have beon no more remarkabio than was that of Garfield in 1880. Me- Kinley must therefore be regarded as presidential possibility, but not n surily for 1892, Hercan afford to wait, and the republican purty may find it to be to its interest that he shall wait. The republican party is still vich in available statesmen, Unlike the demo- cratic party, which has only one really strong leader, it ean seleet from a num- ber of distinguished men, all of whom are eminent in leadership and command the respect and confidenco of the country. No one can predict with any degree of cortainty what the next republican national con- vention will do, but it would seem highiy probable that it will consider the claims of at least two statesmen beforo giving any attention to those of Mr. McKinley. These are Benjufin Har son and James G. Blaine. The conven- tion will not ignore the great services of these representative republicans, President Harvison desorves well of the party. His administration has been wise, practical and strong at overy point. There is nothing to apologize for. 1In our inter- national relations and in regard to all questions of domestic concern Prosidont Harrison has puvsued a judicious policy which results bave abundantly vindi- cated. e has steadily grown in popu- lar favor as a sound and sufe chief execu- tive, and the national convention cannot justly refuse to consider hisclaims, Mr. Blaine is still as popular with his party as at any time in his political carcer, and in the opinion of many he is stronger than ever before with the people of the country. It is not known that Mr. Blaine desires to ba again o candidate for the presidency If he docs, or would aceept the nomini- tion, he could undoubtedly command ‘a vory largo following in the convention. If he does not wish to be again a candi- date he may be able to say who shall be. But in any event it now se plain that the convention must dispose of Harrison and Blaine befove it can justly and properly give consideration to McKinley or any other possible candidate, and there is vory small probability that it would fail to nominnte one of those statesmen, Liverybody concedes that Major Me- Kinloy is a leader of uncommon ability, and of great vigor and aggressiveness. He is one of those earnest, zeslous, straightforward men who are bound to commind attention and respect for the sincerity of their convictions, and the couragoe with which they defend them. Republicans erywhere hold him in high esteem. But he will not bo a necessity o the republican party next yeur, und theroare others who have prior and equally strong claims to the honor, which the party will have to confer, T0O0 HASTY. are already possi- was a cas- ms ANOTHER OHIO CONTES Another contest of nutional interest, the campaign of which is now on, will be decided in Ohio next Junaary his is the contest for the choie» of n Unitel States senator to succoed John Sherman, Phe senatorial question enterod lurgely into the Ilnte campaign, and the election of a republican logislatuve has arousad great interest regarding the strength of the Sherman and Foraker fuctions, “ho friends of each ure claiming the ain success of their fayorite, but the activity of the managers for both gentlo men indicate that neither has such ab- solute confidence in suc disposed to let the mattor v at from this distance it seems plain that the fight will be a hard one, and there {3 danger that it willi muke somo bad blood, to the detriment of the pirty The republican newspapers of the stato appear to be about equally di vided, though the more influential journals are sugporting Shorman. The first development of the strength of the factions will ba made in i the legislature, and it may cert then bo possible to judgo with tolerable aceuracy who onator Sherman will bo his own successor or be forced to give way to his young competitor, ex-Gov- ernor Foruker. If the ropublicans of Ohio were sus- coptible to outside iufluence there would be uo room for & doubt regarding the re-eloction of Senator Sherman. Repub- lican sentiment everywhore is that it would be a misfortune for Ohio and for the country to retire Sherman from the senate. At noother time, at least within the past dozen years, has there been greater need of his wisdom and expe- rience in the upper branch of congress than there will be during the next few years, The danger of damaging finan- al legislation is imminent, and thare- fore there is urgent demand for men like Sherman in congress to combat the rising tide of financial fallacic Mr. Foraker 1s & man of ability and is en- tirely sound on the currency. His vote, wore he in congress, could doubtless be depended on to be always on the right sido. But something more will be re quired of the friends of sound money, in the struggle tha is before the country, than votes, and the most nt friend of Mr. Foraker hardly claim that he is as well qualified to supply this as Senator Sher- man. The following of the ex-governor in Ohio‘is large and enthusiastic nd unquestionably he morits the ardent contiden in him that manifested. But surely Senator Sherman has a much stronger claim upon the party by reason of his services extending over a third of tury, while his pre-eminence as a statesmun ought to exclude any oth from consid tion in connection with the place he occupies, as it does from comparison with him, so long as he able to represent Obio in the national senate, is ace is TiiE increase in the amount of money ein circulation in the United States in the single month of Octobe #30,000,000, the largest made in one month. If this rate of in- crease should be maintained the quantity of money available for the use of the Ame people would grow about eight times as fast, in pro- portion, as the incre: in the population of the country. Such an expansion of the circulating medium, without resorting to a fiat currency, or opening our miuts to a flood of siiver from all parts of the world, ought to satisfy all reasonuble people. It is not to pected that such a rate of i ase will be maintained, and doubt- less conservative financiers will say it is not de. Jle that it should be. It is incroase ever can s not n to the prosperity of the country that the circulating medium should ggow eight times as fast as popu- lation. But the fact is that the supply of money is increasing very much faster than population,and under existing laws must continue to do so, while every dol- lar that goes into circulation issound ind Is amply protected against deprecias tion. So long as the country ha rency of this kind all interests will be secure from injury, but there would be speedy disaster to prevaiiing conditions if we had the free and unlimited coinage of silver. pssary L cur- THERE is no foundation whatever for the assertion that George A.

National bank notes are as good as gold because tho bonds on de- t in the national treasury ave held security for their redemption, and UncloSam is obligated to reimburse every holder of a national bank note with a hundred cents the dollar, But it comes to the denositor he is no safer in a national bank than in a private bank.

In America when a bank is robbed by its officers they buy limited express tickets for Canada or South America.

Ou June 21, 1833, while in Smyrna, Syria, Koszta was seized by a boat's craw of tho Austrian brig-of-war Huzzar, and was taken aboard that ship, He at once claimed the protection of the United States ministor at Constantinople, and Captain ingraham, commanding the Unitod States brig-of-war St. Lovis, demanded Koszta's release. Diplomatic negotiations weut on for sev- cral days, whon Captain Tagraham learned that the Austrian brig intended to sail clun aestinely for Trieste, taking her prisoner with ner. Ingraham at onco placed his ship where she commsanded the channel, and noti- fied the Austrians that unless Koszta was re- loased by July 2 ho would opsu fira on the Austrianbrig. 'Thesa vigarous maisuros ro- sulted 1 the surrender of Koszta to the keop- g of the K'ranch consul goueral in Smyrna, pending further corraspondonco, and finally he was set froo altogether. Captain Ingraham's action was bitterly ro- sented by Austria, but our government fully sustained him, The effact was to raise the United States in tho estimation of foreign governments, Ausiria was then regarded asonoof the graat: powers of the world, while the United States was thought of by Europoan nations a5 of little account.

At fcheveningen, the Great Beach of Hol- land, Near The Hague. QUAINT SIGHTS THROUGH AMERICAN EYES. A Fair Compatriot Writes of the Sand Dunes, the Brown Old Wives, tho HKemarkable Kurtrans And Various Curious Types. Tue Haove, Holland, Oct. 17.—[Special Correspondence to ik Bee.]—Just a bit out of the track of the average ISuropean tourist lies Hotland, a country deservinga full share of attention, not only on account of its his- tory, but also for the novel sights to bo met with at every turn. Chief among tho attractions that Holland may justly boast is Schoveningen, the old town and its superb beach washed by tho waves of tha North sea, The distance from The Hague is only three miles, and it may be reached by steam train with a full view of the saud dunes, by horsecar alonga most beautiful piece of road taid out through the glorious wood that grows up to the city con- fines, and also by the most modorn of all electric streot cars, This latter is a hand some affair, looking much like a smail edition of ono of our Pullmans, and the spoed with which it whizzes one out to Schevenin- gon would make even Omaha people open their eyos wide, The place is & flourishing fishing town of about 17,000 inhabitants, has_quite au array of shops, a very old church or, two, aud streets upon streets of quaint littlo brick houses whero dwell the families of the fish- ormen, the said families spending most of their tune in the open air, either at work upon thie nets, turning the drying fish that are suspended over a sort of arbor, ot clse enjoying a cozy chat with the neighbors, The town is protected from the sea by the great sand dunes, which are hugo hiils of sand that tho winds bave piled high, some sovered with a courageous growth of greon and some more white drifted sand. There is something dreadfully forlorn about theso dunes, and it is a startling and_deligntful change to flash out from amoug them to a high point and to look abroad upou the vast extended view of ocean and beach. ‘The fishing boats aro brought up on to tho sands by taking them upon rollers and hav- g mou or horses pull them up high and dry. Thon the fish are sold at auction, all of this making a most unique and spirited sight. The boats are wide and very short, are tremendiously stout and have enormous rud- ders and big beavy sido boards, whilo tha sails are painted in dull red, yellow or dariz Quaint Fisher Folk. The fisherman and his wife are figures full of interest to tho stranger. 'Ihey show such an utter disregard to the fact that while bus- ily discussing some matter of local interest they aro often times haif way to their kuees 1 water, and one of the chiof among their littlo jokes seems to be to thoroughly drench any chance dry member of the fraternity. The man is drossed in yellow duck trousers that aro large and loose, a aark bluo sort of blouse and the regulation fisherman’s hat. The woman is a curiosity, for 1t is with difficulty that one recoguizes her claims toa feminine element. Instinetively one's thoughts fly buck to what our dear own American poet bas called these women ‘“brown old wives,’ for it does 5o perfectly expross what they uve. The winds and the rains and the sun have buroed them to the ricuest brown, their out-of-door lfo has made them like healthy animals, while their hard laborious work has given'them frames and muscles of iro When madame is iu full toilot, however, sheis graud indeed. Hev dress, of some dark color, is held out by iarge Loops that, singularly’ enough, aro nearly as largo around her body 'as down at her ankles, Iinormous wooaén shoes hold her feot, around her neck is a string of beads, and upon her head is a_structure that baflies my power of description. Itis of white muslin, often embroidered, that covers tho head and falls over 'the sboulders, and it 15 vinued to tho hair, avout the face, by pins that look like nothing so much as a gold Dover egg beater. Extending along the side of tho nead is a wide, long and curved piece of motal, presumably belongiug to the pins, but, as a small young American with ine narked “they would be fine in case of war." Occasionally ono meets a sight hero in the town of Scheveninger that 1s too funny for mero words to convoy any idea of it. 11 is to seo a giddy black lace “‘confection’ in the shape of B bonnct of tho season of 181 perchiza upon and tied down over this old time head gear. The looks of envy and ad- miration that follow such a combination only add to the comical side of the picture, for oven hiere in Holland the femining mind rises superior when a new bounanet is in order. The little girls small copios of their motner, old ma- ture faces, quaint amd a sort of close cap, with the samo pins and side gear. But in spito of the amount of tabor they are expected to perform—for each ono i the family here must take his or ber share of tho work—they aro yot very like other children, full of pranks and play and cujoying to the utmost the gay scenes of fashionable life on tho beach. The small boy of the fawmily often does a thriving business with tne small donkey he lots out to children for a ride on the sands, He is keen as a razor over & bargain and is not always to be trusted behina the donlo; He runs alongside and offers freo advico us to the bost styles of horsemanship and tho zoment of the fiery steed, occasionally giving the beast a sounding whick that has 1o visivle effect toward increasing the speed aud only brings out u cloud of gray dust from the animal’s flank. Suddenly, however, tho young man foll’ behind the steed, and without the stightest warning that donkey developed a speed and a disposi- tion wonaerful to witness. Bath Houses on Wheels., The bathing machines are anotner of the novel sights to an American. ‘They ure port- abio bath houses: @ frame work of wood cov- ered with can , with two small windows, fitted inside with a seat, a shelf ad a small mirror, the door reached by moans of step: One buys a ticket for a bath and the towels, gives up tho ticket to an attendant upon the be tops, closes tho door and 1n n fow moments finds the bath house being drawn by a horse down into the water. Tno horse goes back to perform similar servico for anoiher castomer, and walking down the steps one reaches tho water without an ui pleasant long walk beforo tho hundreds of people looking on at tho sport.

On the top of the dunes is a sort of terraco paved with bricks, a milo_or so long, and it foliows the undutations of the sand hills, Along this are built tho _hotels, cottages and theaters, while below tho terrace aud bo- tween it and the beach is wnothor broaa paved road for ca rriages. A RBit of History. At one ond of the lineof dunes stand a fino lighthouse and an obelisk, & monument erected in 1505, It is of pure white stone and has upon the top a gilt ball. ‘This obelisk is a memorial of the landing of Will 1 at this point after the French had been driven from Holland with the_help of the Prussians and Russians, The mon- ument bears upo it pedestal the inscriptions “God Saved the Netherlands” and “The Thankful People.’ Considering that tho “‘thankful people" dur- ing the roign of this Williaw 1. becamo so dissatistied with him that he abdicated in favor of his son and spent the rest of his lifo over in Berlin, it causes ono to smila to read the high-sounding inscription, ‘'he chief building upon thoe beach is the Kurhaus or Geand Hotol des Bains. This was built by tho municipal council of Tho Hague in ordor to turn the beach of Scheveningen to somo account in the way of profit to the town. Itis550 yards long, is entirely sur- rounded by wide verandas, und 1s lizhted by an immense glass cupola. Two thousand five hundred people are easily accommodated hero for dinners or suppers, while fine music is always to be heard. A good theater forms part of the establishment, and a covered gal- lery contains some five shops where beauti- ful’ bric-a-bric, fans, iaces, jewelry and photographs may be purchased. Driving along the beach toward The Hague after aday spent in enjoyment of the unique scenos that surrouud u: ddenly, in a sheltored nool among the traes, we catch a flecting glimpse of a’ pair of Dutch lovers. Like the ostrich she has hidden ber head (behind her parasol) and so feels secure from the public gaze. Close beside ber, with his arm about her waist, sits her lover, and they aro so absorvbed in each other that they fail to see or hear our passing carriage. Go wherever ono will there may be read the same old, old story of love, the story forever new, the story that makoes so much of the world’s history. Aud so we roll away from Scheveningen down tho loug avenue of forest trees bor- dored by tho promonade and the handsome villas of the wealthy people of The Hague and wa take with us memories of a delight ful day filled with vare sights.

What really constitutes 1nsolvency is perplexing the Treasury department offi cials just now in connection with the fallure of tha Maverick National at Boston. Secre- ter, who is an old banker and now at the head of a private bank which docs a largo business, is auoted as haviog safa in a sonversation the othor that tho excessive endorsoments of tho direc tors of the Maverick bank should havo be construed by Comptroller Lacey to come within the insolvency clauso of the national banking laws, It will be rememberca that some months ago tho comptrollor of the cur renoy called tho attention of the directors of the Mavorick to the fact that they had on- dorsed to o greater extent than they should, if the interests of the bank were to be se cure, and that ho demanded of them thut they reduce the amount of theirondorse ments. Experts in the comptroller's ofice contend that if a director of & national bank or anybody else endorses beyond a limit where he could redeem or make the paper good in the event of tne failure of the bor- rower, the excessive endorsements can be nothing more nor less worth. less and the paper must taken out of the assets of the bank. If this rulo should have been adopted with referonco to tho Maverick, us that institution was unquestionably insolveut many months ago, and if the ex cossively endorsed ' paper of tho bank had been carried to tho loss account of the institution, iv would have boen made iasol vent beyoud doubt. In other words an en dorser s in a degreo to be regarded as a bor rower. ‘The question of Insolvency and ex cossivo oudorsements is ono of not only grent intorest but the greatest possible moment 1o bunkers and every man who is interosted in banking, even %o the exteatof b positor. Secretary Foster is with baving conveyed or with having intended to convey to Comptroller Lacey tho idea that unsecurod paper should be charged off the account ¢ a bank whenever the endorsers refuse to se- curo it othorwise. By this process all se. curities held by a bank as soon as they ar under business like and good banking methods, regarded as unsecured, should move around against the assets of the bank and if they are sufliciont to absorb enougl of tho capital, will make the bank under the Iaw insolve Another extromoly im- portant feature of the question is as to whetlier endorsements shall be considered in thete cumulative form. I they should be so concluded and endorsers stopped when they have roached the aggregate of = their assots, very radical changes in national banking methods will have to bo adopted. At present there is no law or rule in the comptrolier's oftice for- bidding any umount of endorsements.
