Although Mr, Morton, in ting the republi N nomination for governor, distinetly id that he is in f; of the fullest freedom of religious belief and worship, as guaranteed to all citizens both by the federal and state constitutions, Mr. Hill, with a full knowledge of this, took oc casion to cast a doubt upon the sincerity of Mr, Morton's declaration and to im t his seloction as the republican leader in New York may have been due i a measure to proscriptive views re garding religion imbibed before he be came o eitizen of the Empire Never has Mr, Hill shown more pletely w an arrant demagogue he can be than in this attempt to arouse the spirit of religious antagonism. Mr. Morton has been before the public for man nd at no time has he ever shown any prejudice toward any forn of religion or expressed a sentiment or opinion not entirely consistent with the declaration in his letter of aceeptanc Ie is a Protestant, as Mr. Hill is pr sumed to be, if he has any belief, but Mr. Morton 1 word or de in his shown any dis| Mhe speech of acee state. com years religious never by gublic career, sition to interfere with other religi S enjoying to the fullest extent their right to freedom of worship nd there i not the slightest reason to sve that he has any sympathy with ¢ organization t would de or abridge this vight. This thoroughly demagogic and eon temptible endeavor of Hill to inject a religious issue into the campaign is another evidence of hix appreciation of the desperate nature of the contest upon which e is entered, but instead of help- ing his cause its effect ought to be to still further weaken it It is an in- sult to the intelligence and the patriot- ism of the vate of New York to as- sume, as Mr. Hill obviously does, that any of them can be influenced by an appenl of this kind. Such a course would net be pardonable if taken even by o ward politician, but when by the leader of a party in state, who aspires to still leadership and whose policy munagement of his campaign wittched by the entire count the Iast degree veprehensible, But Mr. Hill cannot cover up the damaging record of his party and him self by any means. He cannot in this way divert popular attention from the high-handed theft of the New SO1, by which he secure a seat in the nor induce the honest voters of the BEmpire state to lose sight of his unserupulous attempt to foist al tribunal of the state a judge who had been his tool in accomplishing the theft. David B. Hill annot rid himself of the instinets of the demagogue. T adopted a wreat broader i the is being it is to was enabled to A BANKERN' CUR?ENCY PLAN. ociation of American Baukers in session at Baltimore this week adopted a plan for a new bank cur- rency, which a committee of the assocla- tion will present to congress at the eom- ing session. The plan was formulated by the bankers of Baltimore and re- ceived eaveful consideration before be- ing adopted. It proposes to do away with the requirement of a deposit of bonds to secure circulatinig notes, the security to be supplied by a guaranty fund, to be created by each bank de- positing with the United States treasurer 2 per cent upon the amount of circulation received the first year and the payment afterward into such fund of one-half of 1 per cent upon the | average amount of outstanding circula- tion. FProvision is also made for a re- demption fund equal to 5 per eent of the average outstanding circulation. Re. demption of notes to be made as pro- vided for in the existing law. Under this plan banks would issue circulating notes to the amount of 50 per cent of their paid-up, unimpaired ital and in addition an “emergency cireulation” of per cent of such eapital. Both would be subject to a tax for revenue of one-half of 1 per cent on the average amount outstand- ing for the year, but on the latter there would be an additional tax, the pro- reds of which would go into the guaranty fund. When this fund amounted to 5 per cent of the outstand- ing clvculation the tax would be sus- pended until such time as the comp- troller of the currency should deem it necessary to resume it. Notes of in- solvent banks to be redeemed out of the guaranty fund, or if that be insufficient out of any money in the treasury, the amount so used to be reimbursed from the fund when replenished. Circulating notes of banks to be provided by the comptyoller of the curren and the government to have a prior lien upon the assets of failed banks and the linbilities of shareholders for restoring the amount withdrawn from the guaranty fund In redeeming the circula- tion of insolvent banks. In order to retire circulation a bank would have o to deposit wifh the treasurer of the United State® Wwful money to the amount of tha swu desired to be with- drawn. el Under this plan a bank could at no time have In‘circulation notes to an amount excegding 75 per cent of Its paid-up, uninfpaired eapital, which wonld seem to,be a pretty safe arrange ment, and as @l elreulation above 50 per cent of the eapital would be sub- ject to an additional tax it would not be issued afd kept out except when there was a “profitable demand for it As to the guaranty fund, experience shown that 5 per cent of the outstand- ing circulation would be sufficient, un- der normal conditions, for redeeming the notes of insolvent banks. The plan appears to provide ample safeguards for maintaining on a sound basis the circulating notes which it proposes and it identifies the government with the banking business only so far s seems to be necessary to te holders and to gly ce in the bank issuoes, The endorsement of th Banke association certainly a el to serions consideratic it may the sccrotary treasury, who is said to be ver interested in the bank eivenlation prob. lem, in formulating o measure that will the problem and be acceptable to the country.

Tomorrow Belglum will hold her first general election under the revised constitu- tion, which, in addition to rendering the suffrage practically universal, goes $o far as to conceds two and even three votes (o per- sons enjoying certain specified qualifications. The franchise has hitherto been closely restrioted, the entire electorate having been less than 140,000, and composed almost en- tirely of land owners, wholesale and retail merchants and manufacturers, the masses being entirely without legislative representa- tion, although called upon to contribute to- ward the support of the government in taxes, But, according to the terms of the amended constitution, the electorate is in- creased tenfold, while under the system of plural votes now about to be put in opera- tion their number s expected (o h 1,000,- 000. Any qualified elector who fails to per- form his duty as a citizen by not going the polls renders himself liable to fine and imprisonment. Under the cireumstances, it Is only natural that the contest should at- tract an unuswal degree of attention both at home and abroad. Although ft is im possible to predict with certainty the out- come of {he election, it seems probable that it will result in an overwhelming victory for that conservative-Catholic party fought tooth and nail against of the suffrage to such dimensions, believing Its very existe imperilled thereby; while the liberals, who have been the principal champlons of the new electoral laws, and have succeeded In carrying them through In the face of immense difficulties and un- compromising opposition, are to all appear- wnces doomed to defeat. This is due to the fact that, whereas the liberal party is split into a number of factions iutensely hostile to one another, the conservative-Catholic party is prepared to go to the polls present- ing ‘a united front, having abandoned for the time being all internal dissensions and inseribed on its banners the national motto of Belgium, “L'Union fait la Force. o While respect for law dlence to Hs behests are upon which civilized human society s grovnded, the soclal bond which knits the 400,000,000 inhabitants of China together fs the absolute faith of the populace in the omnipotence of their ruler. This blind faith of the Chinese in their emperor and his army was graphically fllustrated in the case of the Celestials capiured by the Japanese at Ping Yang. “Their gratitude at not being behieaded,” declared a Japanese correspond- ent, “took no higher form than the expres- sion of a moody regret for the awful fate in store for us. That we were all destined to annihilation as soon as we should contact with their irresistible warrio conviction which nothing conld shake.” Usillusion of the Chinese would be the ping of the chain which holds together the 1'ge tody politic of the empire. The triumph of Tokio over Peking would throw nearly me-third of tha population of the world into a sudden state of anarchy. e invading Japanese soldiers might maintain order in the districts occupied by them, but the rest of the vast empire would be.chaos. It is the fear of the possibility of such an emer- geney which has. without doubt; impelled England and Russia to convene an interna- tiontl conference for the arbitration of Oriental affairs. While the original issues of the war concern only the belligerent collapse of the Chinese empire would seri- ously affect Europe as well as Asia. Japan has awakened to a consciousness that she is a great power; but it should be possible to adopt measures for the protection of the com- mon interests of the civilized world in the Orfent without encroaching upou the rights of Japan. and cheerful obe. the foundations ave The sorest point In the relations of England and France |s the Egyptian occupation. When Gladstone proposed a joint occupation of Egypt the French government committed the blunder of rejecting it, and the politi- clans of the Paris ‘boulevards have been mad over the mistake ever since. To make mat- ters worse, the subsequent attempt of the ench to arouse the young khedive against his British guardians miserably failed. The hshackles have been fastened more tightly on Abbas Pac and the English army of oceu- pation has been strengthened as the net re- sult of the French intrigues. Yet the states- men of France stiil indulge the hope that by diplomatic acts or by threats they can induce the English to withdraw from Egypt and abandon its government to the khedive, who Is notoriously under French influence. They seem to fignore the fact that now, when English supremacy in the east Is so gravely threatened by Russia, the occupation of Egypt is a vital matter of British policy. England at this juncture could almost as easily be persuaded to give up India as to abandon her point of vantage on the Medi- terranean. For the present, at least, the Egyptian question is in abeyance; but it is likely to flame out again on the first occa- sion It will be a surprise to many Americans to learn that there are more than 600 mission- aries in the small part of China which bor- ders on the Gulf of Pe-chi-li alone, and this province of Chih-li, containing Tien-Tsin, is sure to be the very center of military opera- tions and mob outbreaks, it the Japanese attack the Chinese capital, as they are ex- pected to do immediately. The missionaries and merchants in Chih-li are better situated, however, owing 1o the nearness ‘of the coast and foreign warships, than those whose duties keep them far in the interior of China. That country is unique in having for one of its chief centers of direct foreign trade a city 600 miles from the mouth of the mighty river on which it is situated. Hankow is reached by ocean steamships of the largest ze used in China trade, and yet it is about 0 miles up the Yang-tse-Kiang, and almost that distance directly back into the heart of China. Hankow and its suburbs have a popu- lation estimated as high as 1,700,000, and it may be imagined how uncomfortable the pos tion of its many European and American fosidents must be as the humiliating news from the distant seat of war exasperates the swarming Chinese millions on every side. The result of the recent congress of the German radical popular party at Eisenach is generally accepted as a demonstration of the complete triumph of Eugen Richter over all the elements disposed to dispute his leadership. The new program, which was drafted under his supervision, was finally accepted unanimously without any altera- tions, During the discussion of the sections dealing with the attitude of the party to- ward ecclesiastical and educational questions several attempts were made to amend it, but Herr Richter was fully equal to the emergency, and on each occasion threatened that he and the subordinate party leaders would resign if any changes in the original draft were sanctioned. The result was that he had his own way in everything. Some of his opponents are naturally incensed at this high-handed policy, and characterize the congress as the deathblow of the radi- cal cause, but.it is pointed out that, practi- cally, they acquiesced in the proceedings by submitting to them, and admit that cither Herr Richter must be accepted o3 leader or all hope of the future of the party be abandoned ae The great European canal which extends trom the southwestern limit of the Baltic sea to a point on the River Elbe is now open to traffic. It virtually makes Denmark and & part of Schleswig-Holstein an island. It Is sixty-one miles long, 200 feet wide and twenty-elght fect deep, and the largest war ships could float upon it. It is estimated that 35000 vessels make the passage an- nually and at least 200 are lost anually on the rocks or in going through turbulent waters and around the deadly Skaw between the North and th Baltic seas, The n 8- sity for doing this Is saved by reason of the canal, which also makes the passage from London to the Baltic 250 miles short while vessels going from Hamburg-on-the- Elbe to Cronstandt, Russia, save 450 miles By means of this canal Germany could, in o of war, mass her naval forces in the altic and drop anchor in the Elbe in the atternoon of the same day. Canals are likely yet to help the commerce of the seas, and they may also play an important part in future warfare.
