As a matter of fact, no such emer- gency has arfsen and is not likely to arise so long as the country remains as prosperous as it is now. A liberal esti- mate of the aggregate amount of cur- rency required for moving the crops is $86,000,000, but a much larger sum is now deposited In New York banks to the credit of western and southern banks It goes without saying that the New York banks are amply prepared to meet this demand and in case of emergency to replace the money with- drawn from their vaults with currene from the national treasury. In the first place an enormous in- crease of avallable money has taken place within the past year. Between August 1, 1002, and August 1, 1903, there has been an increase in circulation of $122,000,000, of which about $55,- 000,000 is in national bank notes, There has also been an increase of $72,000,- 000 In gold certificates against a loss of $11,000,000 in gold coin and $10,000,000 in trepsury notes of 1890. While the tredsury officlals do not assert that a greater volume of currency is impera- tive to prevent a money stringency in | the crop moving season, they say that they are in position to offset the prevail- ing sentiment for the repression of credit and speculation, which usually follows a plenitude of money without currency legisiation. In the next place the New Ybrk banks are amply able to replace the $35,000,000 required for moving the crops by an equal amount of national bank eurrency, if they are so disposed. The national banks of New York are capitalized for #110,5672,700, but as ngainst that capital they have issued only $43,871,400 in national bank notes, or $06,701,300 less than they have a right to issue under the national bank- ing nct. It is not generally known, but it is nevertheless a fact, that twenty out of the fifty-six national banks in the city of New York, whose nggregate capital 1s $21,533,900, have not avafled themselves at all of the privilege of Issuing national bani notes; Looking backward, it may be instructive as well as Interesting to knew that the net de- posits in the national banks of New York on September 16, 1803, were $377,- 273,000; on September 10, 1808, they were $731,002,100; on September 8, 1900, $906,281,400; on September 6, 1902, they were $023,308,200; on September 5, 1903, they were $018,131,800, or a decrease of only $5,266,000, equal to but ene-half of 1 per cent over the aggregate deposits a year ago. It should be borne in mind, however, that the fmpending drain on the New York banks for moving the crops Is gradual and will cover a period of fully four months, The money disbursed among the farmers In the west and south for moving the new crope is not absorbed like water poured upon the sand. Western farmers do net hoard money so long as they have confidence in the stability of the banks, They will either pay out the money realized from the sale of crops to cancel existing mortgages, purchase additional land, or farm machinery and betterments, or place it on interest in banks, and in| (due time the money that moved the crope will find its way back to the New York depositories, It is sheer folly, therefore, to assume that the demand for money to move the crops must either precipitate a panic in New York or create such a strain upon New York banks as seriously to fmperil their solvency. 5 F—— PERSONAL WORTH THE ONLY TEST, Among the many sound principles enuneiated by President Roosevelt in his Syraeuse address, none Is more worthy of thoughtful consideration than the statement that in order to keep our ! ernment on u sane and healthy basis and our soelal system what it should be each man must be judged, not { a8 2 wember of a class, but on his worth as a man. He declared it to be an in- famous thing in our American life, and fundamentaily treacherous to our insti- tutions, “to apply to any man any test | save that of Lls personal worth, or to draw between two sets of men any dis- | tinetion save the distinetion of conduct.” | He said that the failure in publle and in | private life thus to treat cach man on | his own merits, the recognition of this| | government as heing ecither for the poor as such or the rich ae sueh, “would prove | fatal to our republic, as such fallure nud | such recognition have always proved fatal in the past to other republics.” No | intelligent man can fa!l to understand | the meaning of this or its application | {to those who, particularly in recent years, have sought to array class against | cluss and to instill in the popular mind | the idea that the government is only for a single class. This demagogic doctrine the president condemns being utterly unwarranted and dangerous and all who can consider the matter free from prejudice | agree with him. healthy republican government,” sald Mr. Roosevelt, “must rest upon individuals, not upon classes or sections. - As soon as it becomes gov- ernment by a class ‘or by a section it departs from the old American ideal. * * * People show themselves just as un. fit for liberty whether they submit to anarchy or to tyranny, and class gov- ernwment, whether it be the government of a plutocracy or the government of a mob, Is equally incompatible with the will | If ever class Interest shall again domli- nate the government a repetition of that mighty conflict will be iuevitable. True statesmanship will lead in the way pointed out by the president—that of keeping the government free from class control and administering it impartially for the welfare of all the people. REASON FOR DISTRUSTING TRUSTS. There are abundant reasons for dis- trusting trusts, but one that is pointed out by the New York Jourpal of Cow- merce is well worth attention. That paper remarks that one of the disad- vantages of th® concentrated control of great industrial combinations is the fact that their stocks become distributed in the hands of many persons who know, and are permitted to know, little or nothing about their affairs. ‘“Manage- ment I8 necessarily in the hands of a few persons. These may or may not have a large capital interest of their own in the concern, but they have a large eon- trol through those who have made ven- tures In it and through the use of proxies blindly granted.” Consequently the in- terests of the scattered stockholders are at the mercy of directors and officers in whom they have easily confided and who render such accounts as they please or give none at all, depending entirely upon conditions and ecircumstances. There are combinations whose officers render accounts regularly to the stockholders, but the larger number do not do this and in some other way keep the con- fiding stockholders reassured. This irrespensibility of the officers of many of the combinations, men who carry everything their own way, Is a fact that should make the public dis- trustful of stocks offered by combina- tions that do not make regular returns of thelr affairs to stockholders. It is a hazgrdous investment to place money in the hands of a corporation whose officers are at liberty to do as they please about accounting for it and such undoubtedly is the condition as to a very considerable part of the investments in many of the combinations. TURKEY'S PAVORABLE RESPUNSE. The favorable response of the Turkish government to the request of the United States for the removal of the governor | of Beyroot and the appointment of a responsible person, not unfriendly foreigners, to the position, is a vindica- tion of the action of the Washington guthorities in sending the European squadron to Turkish waters. A few days ago Admiral Cotton reported that the presence of the squadron at Bey- root had inspired with confidence and a feeling of security all foreigners and Christians and his dispatch of the 10th reported the city quiet and conditions improying. He also states that the new governor, said to be a trustworthy and broad-minded man, has expressed a de- sire to settie the case of the American vice consul who was shot at to the sat- isfaction of the United States govern- ment. All this is most conclusive testimony to the influence of this nation, especlally when our diplomacy is backed up by war ships, but it does not justify any- thing on our part in the nature of Jingolsm. We must not assumie from this incident that we can get anything we may be pleased to ask for with as little difficulty as we secured compliance with the request for a change of govern- ors at Beyroot. A Washington dispatch says “it is understood our government will push to an early conclusion all its pending claims against Turkey.” Doubt- less it would be quite justified in doing so0, but the question of expediency, under present rondlt_lonl. is to be con- sidered, The “sick man of Europe” is considerably sicker at this time than for a long period. Harassed by revolu- tionary movements, with little money and no credit, and filled with appre- henslon and anxiety regarding the course the great powers may take, Tur- key might be found Indisposed to sub- mit to any severe pressure from this country for the settlement of pending claims, nor is it altogether improbable that she in this would have the sym- pathy of some if not all the European nations. In sending the squadron to Beyroot after the attack upon the Amer- fcan vice consul we had the tacit ap- proval of the powers because it meant protection for all foreigners at that nla In safeguarding American inter- ests there we at the same time pro- tected European interests. It Is by no means certain that we should have the approva! of those nations were our government, at this time, to adopt an | nggressive or coercive polley toward Turkey in respect to pending claims. They also have claims, very much larger than ours. and as they are not urging their settlement it is most un- likely that they would be favorable to the United States doing so, at least until the Turkish problem with which they have to deal is disposed of. The sending of American war ships to Beyroot has resulted well and it would seem that our government should be very well satisfied with this for the present and not attempt to do any- | thing that might draw us into complica- | tions that would prove troublesome. An eastern paper suggests that American war ships should be sent to every Turkish seaport. This Is an expression of the jingo spirit which must not be encouraged iIf the United States is to continue to keep out of European en- tanglements. . Three of the big express companies doing business almost coextensive with the whole United States have taken a new step in the bonding of thelr em- ployes by establishing bonding depart- ments and carrying thelr own risks.

The adoption of a national frri- gation policy and the inauguration of frrigation work under national super- vislon and & national expense marks the close of the era in which irrigation wa supposed to be a purely local matter. In the early days it may haye been practicable for the ploneers owning land along the streams in the semi- arid etates and territories to utilize the water by diverting it In thelr own ditches, although in some cases this praetice has reached considerable di- mensions. The Mormons more than Afty years ago, led by Brigham Young, frrigated the valley of the Salt lake on a large scale by turning the streams that fed the lake over the sagebrush plains and laying the foundation for the present great fertility of that re- markable section. It has taken a whole half century to achleve full rec- ognition for the doctrine that the waters {n the streams are subject to private appropriation only subordinate to the reserved rights of the entire pop- ulation and that to secure the reclama- tion of large areas by expensive firri- gating works requires national aection. Various phases of {rrigation as a na- tional problem will be discussed at Ogden and the results already accom- pliehed exemplified by the exhibits of the preducts of reclaimed lands. A most representative list of delegntes is already nssured and some of the most | eminent experts In practical Irrigation engineering will take part In the pro- gram. No one interested in irrigation, who 18 able to make the trip to Ogdem, should fall to attend this congress, L ) It is intimated aiready that, motwith- standing tho establishment of the new normal school recently located at Keap- pey, the agitation for more normal aolu')ols 18 to be kept up with a particu- lar demand for an institution for the training of teachers in the northwest section of the state. Presumably this cannot be helped, but the execution of such a program will be unfortunate be- cause necessarily detrimental to the es- tablished schools. The taxpayers of Nebraska are willing to meet every legitimate demand made upon them in the interest of education, but they will be doing pretty well in doubling the normal school facllities. The pormal school promoters might with propriety leave well enough alone, at least for a little while. The World-Herald tried to make be- lleve that “there is in Judge Barnes' record nothing to commend him to the people.” It carefully shies, however, at the fact that Judge Barnes was ap- pointed to be supreme court commis- sfoner by the wunanimous vote of the three present supreme judges, of whom Judge Sullivan and Judge Hol- comb, both fusionists, constitute the majority, and made such a good record in that capacity that he whs unani- mously reappointed. There must have been something in Judge Barnes' vecord to commend him to Judge Sullivan and to Judge Holcomb, even if the motives of Judge Sedgwick could be ascribed to partisan blas. Less than twelve months ago the shares of United States Steel common stock were advertised far and wide as a most desirable investment for wa, workers and people of small means who had money deposited on low Inter- est In savings banks.

Methods of a Postal Innocent, Philadelphia Record. There is an innocent in the Postoffice de- partment who can hardly belleve that his superiors will blame him because the many triends he made In Cuba send him cigars by registered mall in packages that the customs officials pass because addressed to an officlal. His friends are so numerous that they send him more clgars than he can smoke, und he disposes of his surplus at §7 a box. Several officlals high up in the department and In the Washington postoffice are named as his customers. Now, where in the world did these high officlals suppose this man was getting Cuban cigars for sale at $7 & box without any Internal revenue license as a dealer? FUNERAL OF A GREAT MAN. Reform Suggested by the Simplicity of the Saligbury Obsequies, w York World. The statement in our cable dispatches that the funeral of Lord Salisbury was limited by his will to & cost of $100 and actually cost only $70 Is of Importance ds well as interest, In planning for himselt such modest obscqules the late prime min- ister of the British empire sot an example which should have as great public useful- ness as many of his achlevements in states- manship. Lord Salisbury was one of the great fig- | ures, It not one of the great men, of his generation, and some cstentation at his funeral could hardly have been censured Yet many a poor widow In New York squanders twice or thrice as much money upon the hurial of her husband, though she may face want and hardship for the rest of her life. The love that dictates such sacrifices may be beautiful, but the fal:e pride min- gled with it is not. Lord Salisbury set an example, one that rich and poor alike should follow in principle. B THE PASSING VETERANS, Thinning Ranks of the Gra . of the Repu Philadelphla North American, 1t is very apparent from the fgures pub. lished by the authority of the comm! of pensions that high-water mark has been reached under existing laws in pension ex- penditures, Nearly 41,000 persons were dropped from the pension rolls last vear, chiefly because of death, and the additions both from the ranks of the civil war vet- erans and the soldiers of the Spanish war fajled to oftset this number by a round 10,000. The cxpenditures repeat the same story, showing a decline of about $5,000,000 from the outlay for the previous year. These figures, showing the unmistakable and rapid thinning of the great army of | civil war veterans, cannot be considered with other than a feeling of sadness. The years have done and are doing their work. | Army The most liberal recognition on the part |1 of a grateful country of the Invaluable services of these courageous citizens ca not stay the hand of death. The nearly forty years that have elapsed since these men exchanged the perils and privations of war for the occupations of peace have brought most of them to the verge of the allotted limit of human life. From this time forward their ranks will be thinned more rapidly than they were even in the most destructive perfod of the war. While no country was ever so generous in its treatment of its military defenders as ours has been, It can afford to care still more tenderly, If necessary, for those who yet survive. At the farthest even the soungest will soon pass away. The mone- tary outley having passed the period of greatest disbursements will decrease Fap- idly. Reverence for the courage and self- sacrifice which faced death to save the union should grow with the years so long as a single survivor of the disbanded army of civil war heroes remains above ground. WHEN 1§ A MAN INTOXICATED? Federal Court Wrestles w the Problem and Lays Down Rules. Pittsburg Dispatch. Judge Wheeler of the United States clr- cult court ip Vermont has made a judicial rullng classifying the degrees of being under the influence of liquor which ought to g0 far toward disposing of the moot question, when s & man intoxicated? The case in review involved the issuf whether a man was Intoxicated within the meaning of an Insurance policy in- the application for which the insured had stated that he had never been in that condition, The evidence showed that he had frequently been hilarious and noisy and had walked with difficulty from drinking; that he was unable to sit up straight when driving, al- (hough able to drive; thathe had at times acted as if crazy with liquor, and a physi- cian told of fAinding him in a state of acute alooholism when examining him for gom- mitment to & retreat The court held that intoxieation wns aivisible into three stages. The first was eviderced by uncommon vivacity, in which the empire of the understanding over his actions is so little weakened as to leave the individual in complete possession of his senses, In the second the man still has the use of his senses, although they are remarkably enfeebled, but he is entirely beside himself, memory and judgment hav- ing departed, and he acts without regard for future consequences. The last deg {s that in which the subject not only loses the possession of his reason, but his senses are o enfeebled that he is no longer con- solous of his external relations. In this case Judge Wheeler held that while the dence of unfitness by any except those who belong to the popocratic party. —— Frosperity a eculat New York Tribune.
