According fo o Washing ton disnateh to the New York Bvening Post, which paper is Wle to the ject, the object it is desived to se is greater clasticity of the reney. The plan of Mr. Lovering pro poses that national bhanks be perinitted to issue notes to the value of 10 cent of thelr capitalizagion for a period of three years and thereafter to inerens the percentage at stated intervals, in se everything works well, till a maxi wum equal to 40 per cent of the capital is renched.

This most extraordinary proposi tlon and it Is surprising to learn that it has a strong hacking among republicans in congress, 1t s seriously proposed to try an experiment with our currency, now on a perfectly sound and substan tial basls, and if that experiment should not prove satisfactory, as fn all prob ability it would not under any system or plan now suggested, 1t would he dropped. But what might happen in the meantime? How much demoralization might result from such a tentative plan to the currency of the country? It most extraordinary that sagacious fin ciers should pr 1o embark upe policy of currency v or change the | vesult of which they admit to be uncer tain and which they admit it is possible will have to be abandoned after a few years of trinl. 15 it reasonable to suppose that such a proposition will meet with the approval of intelligent and conserva tive publie judgment G urged n behalf of this proposition is untenable, It has not been shown and cannot he shown that any such change in our currency system Is necos sary to greater elasticity.

Lord Pauncefote, the British ambassador, who has fust arrived in this country, brings with him the draft of a new canal treaty which is satisfactory to England and meets all the substantial objections raised in this country to the former treaty. The new treaty s said to provide for the abroga ation Docament R nd. [ tion outright of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty which was an obstacle to an isthmian canal bullt, owned and controlled by the United States. In the statement about the treaty coming from London there f< an intimation that the British government will demand as a condition of abrogating the Clayton Bulwor treaty that the United States shall enter into reciprocal arrangements favorabla 10 the trade of the West Indies and other British possessions. On the other hand, tha report comes from Washington that the new treaty abrogates the Clayton-Bulwer treaty without anv suggestion of reciprocal trade concessions or of other matter ex cept the canal. It §s desirable for our own trade {nterests that some of the restrainta should be removed from our trade with the British West Indics, and especially with Canada, which is a good market for Ameri an goods, hut the mingling of these two separata questions would only complicate the situation and delay the building of the canal. By the abrogation of the Clavton Bulwer treaty the objections made by tha senate to the old Hay-Pauncefots treaty would he removed and, as the president is known, by bis oxplicii assertions. to be in favor of building speedily an American controlled fsthmian canal, the beginning of the canal itself would not be long delayed howcver, the intricate subject of Cana dian relations and reciprocity should be brought into the negotiations, the pros pects for the canal in the near future wonld he dimmed. The text of the treaty has not been made public, but It is likely that Great Britain has consented fo the ahroga- tion of tha Clayton-Bulwer treaty un conditionally, British trade and greatly by the now Britain 1s as desirous of having the oceans Joined as 1, Shig coun- try. When the treaty shall be signed and ratified congress will then have to aecine upon the route, provided the Panama Canal company shall enter into an arrangement to sell at a reasonabla price the righta and possesaions of the company. which include the concession, the plant and a partly dug canal. The final report of the Isthmian Canal company, which will, no doubt, have welght with congress in reaching a de clgfon on the route, fs said to he ready and will ba submitted to congress in December.
