This is the most pleasant news we could have. On a bountiful harvest all hopes of un- exampled prosperity are fixed, From i pros Declaring an amateur bieyclist to be & professional and ruling him out of all amateur contests is no longer the pun- Ishment which it was once thought to be. No sooner is a man pronounced a o professional than he goes iuto profe slonal exhibitions and races, and usually with advantage to himself. The trouble 18 that the distance between the ama teur and the professional has been re- duced to practically nothing, so that the step from one to the other is no effort at all. The penalty of being de- . elared a professional rider no longer 1;,.,,,.& any terrors for the ambitious bi- political dragnet, not for patriotizm, but for revenue only. The fact that the or- der on one side of the line will hail the British union jack with as much enthusiasm as it does the stars and stripes on the other side affords con- vineing proof that any flag is good enough for them so long as it has an appropriation string or an office at- tached to it. Divested of all buncombe, the core of the A. I A. propaganda will be found in the old knownothing creed that| had for its motto: “Put none but Americans on guard, meaning. of course, “let none but native Americans hold office, and let no native American get o smell of political patronage un- less e joins our oathbound socety.” Then, as now, the hue and cry against Catholies in general and Ivishmen in particular was simply the outeropping of n spirit of intolerance inspired by politicians who hoped to build up a fcal party on the slogan of pro- iption and sectarian prejudice. That there is no room for such a po- litieal par in the United States has been demonstrated time and again. All the traditions and all the funda- mental principles on which the free institutions of the republic have been sustained through foreign invasion and domestic insurrection are against it. But history has a-fashion of repeating itself, and it is perhaps well that the defunet knownothing par should be revived and fight over again its lost battles under the secret political order which has just closed the session of its supreme council. Such a conflict will force an educational campaign on the line the Bill of Rights, the liberty of conscience and the equality of Ameri- - citizenship, regavdless of race or creed. The present status of the A. P, A, order in politics is certainly anomal- ous. It Is a party within other parties. Its members participate in party cau- cuses and conventions, while they are obligated under onth to defeat any can- didate who is known to profess the Roman Catholic creed, or whose marital relations to Cntholies are known. Let the A. P, A’s become a party by them- selves, and then they will be able to live up to their sworn obligations with- out proving traitor to their party. On this line they can enter the field openly and put their principles into practice eant to political not members of without becoming re who associates their order. are LIFETIME BENE "TONS. The offer of President Low of Colum- bia college, accepted last week by the Donrd of trustees of that institution, to build at his own expense the lib ry bueilding on the new college site, the e of which as planned is esti- at $1,000,000, has precipitated anew the shower of encomiums that al- ways rains upon the author of so munificent a public benefaction, The unanimous praise bestowed upon Presi dent Low's generosity ought in itself to be a powerful incentive to emulation on the part of other men of wealth and culture, From President Low's gift the donor, who is still in the prime of life, will reap a satisfaction which a bequest of several times that amount to be carried out after death could not give. The great library building is to be made a memorial to his late father, from whose successful commercial enterprises the money to be devoted to its construction was originally obtained. At the same time, as one of the conditions of the offer, a number of free scholarsh to be instituted, to be conferred by competition upon the most deserving graduates, both boys and girls, of the Brooklyn public schools, a token of re- to give the widest scope for military | operations from Omaha as its foeal point. It was largely through General | Brooke that the War office was induced | to adopt plans that make Fort Crook lone of the largest army posts in the | United States, While it was inevitable that General Brooke would sooner or later be trans- ferred to another department, The Bee expresses the universal regret of the | Deople of this city and state that they re compelled to sever the cordial r lations that have between them and General com- mander of the Dey the Platte. as of tment THE FUNCTION OF THE CHECK, The advocates of currency inflation on the theory that activity in busine: jand the with which the trans- actions of trade are carried on are de- termined and regulated by the volume of woney in circulation ordinarily leave out of consideration the very important part which the various forms of credit ense curreney play in busine There is need of popular instruction on this point, for if it were more generally understood low extensive is the func- tion of the cheek in the transactions of teade there would be fewer people in favor of currency inflation, whether by increasing the volume of silver or of paper. Prof. Kinley of the University of Tlli- nois has made a very valuable cop tribution to this feature of the currenc auestion, He found that the deposits in 2,465 national banks on the settling s ne st June 3, 1804, by retail dealers, covered $6,000,000 in retail trade, and of these deposits 58 per cent | was in checks and 42 per cent in various Kinds of money. Probably an equal amount was deposited in state and rivate banks, so that it seems safe to assume that the bank deposits of the country from the retail trade amount daily to about $12,000,000, more than one-half of which is in the form of checks, and plays the part of money as certainly and effectively as the cur- rency. In wholesale transactions the | eheck plays a still more important part, it being estimated that oy 00 cent of such transactions are check. One of the most eminent ex- ponents of the principles governing cur- rencies and a high authority on bank- ing, Henry Dunning McLeod, says that the rock upon which most persons who chatter about the curreney founder “is that they consider gold and silver onl to be the currency, or circulatin, medium, and the mensure of prices, But the curreney, or clr ulating wedium, consists not only of spocie gold, silver and copper—but also of credit in all its forms, both written and unwritten,” He declares that credits, or debts, have exactly the same effects on production and prices as an equal quantity of gold, and says: “The fact is that we have long passed through the ages of gold and silve We are now in the age of credit, or paper. Gold and silver are now ouly used in small daily and retail transactions to serve as pocket mone All operations in commerce and trade are now carried on by rights of action, eredits or debts, and the only use of gold now in com- merce 1s for banks to keep such strong reserves of gold as to inspire the public with confidence that they can pay their credits, or debts, on demand.”” This emlnent authority d s it to be utterly irrational to treat of the ques- tion of the currency, or ecirculating medium, or the measure of prices, at the present day, and to include only gold and silver under that title, leaving out all consideration of the colossal system of credit. This system is constantly expanding gross fraud. THE GOODY GOODY NEWSPAPER, A “Sunday observancé” daily newspaper Is to be started in Chicago which, besides cast- ing out the Sunday edition and having all the work on the Monday issue done on Sat- urday, shall ignore crime in every type, and print only things which shall picture the world as a thing of sunshine and goodness. 'his parpgraph is taken from the Springfield Republican. While we can not yeuch for the truth of the state- ent contatned, the project of which it purpavts to give information unques- tionably corresponds with the ideas of model newspaper cherished by no few people of superior intelligence. It is not the clement of Sunday obsery ance or performing the work necessary for the Mond on the preced- ing Saturday that commends it to favor with these persons, but rather the pur- pose to avoid printing everything that might possibly be objectionable to the most prurient and to relate only the good and suppress the evil. It was the boast, for example, of the women who but recently conducted the May day edition of The Bee that they had suc- ceeded in publishing a paper without saying a single word that could give offense to any reader. Such o newspaper is certainly possi ble. But is it the kind of newspaper that the people want? (Can a news- paper present the happenings of the world in a satisfactory manner if it tells only of such events as betoken happin 1d prosperity? Would peo- ple be content to remain ignorant of disaster and crime, of business failure and commereial crisis, of poverty and distress, of litigation, of monopolistic combines, of legislative corruption? How can the newspaper tell of the suc- cess of one contending army without the ruin of the other, of the election of one candidate without the defeat of his opponent, of the achievement of one prize-winner without the failure of the less fortunate contestants? But more pertinent, does not a news- paper that sets out to say nothing at which another may take offense deprive itself of the very power which consti- | tutes its usefulness?

By their split over Buchanan's policy the democrats precipitated unlooked-for woes and r:tired themselves from power for twen- ty-four years.

It further evidence is wanting to show the extent of civilization in Japan, it is furnished by recent deals in real estate. The govern- ment held a few desirable options, and shrewdly Ist go for a snug consideration. Mr. John R.

Great improve- ments are promised by the new manage- ment, and there Is ample room for them. Calvin C. Webster of Concord, N.
