Interest on Public Funds.
The emphatic denial of State Treas
urer Jackson that 'he has ever drawn.
Into his personal account, so much as
one dollar of Interest on the large bal
ances of state funds which are kept by
him on deposit among designated banks
will be believed. So far es this denial
goes It Is undoubtedly gratifying. But
there remains, for years unaccounted
for, the anomalous fact (hat the com
nwraweakh has not received a penny of
Interest on these balances, although
they have long averaged as much as
Ji.0OO.0OO.
It Is absurd to suppose that any pri
vate depositor would be willing to ap
portion $4,000,000 among thirty or forty
banks without demanding a cent of In
terest. The capitalist who should rest
content with the Idleness and non-productiveness
of so much money, year af
ter year, would be looked upon by the
business community as of unsound
mind; and If he had heirs, they would
doubtless feel Justified In applying to
court for an examination as to his san
lty. 'Why, then, should the state cf
Pennsylvania exhibit Indifference to the
Item of Interest under similar circum
stances? The city of Philadelphia
draws Interest on Its smaller balances.
The city of Pittsburg, educated by the
scandal In Its cl'y'a attorney's office. Is
preparing to exact Interest on Its bal
ances. Tet here Is the vastly larger
government of the state, with reserve
funds reaching into the millions, calm
ly ignoring the same subject! At two
per cent. 1t would draw ISO.OOO a year,
more Bhan enough to pay the whole ex
pense of the new Superior court.
It Is probable that Governor Hastings
will address a message to the next legis
lature asking for the passage of legis
lation placing this subject on a business
footing. He has recently expressed. In
decided terms, the opinion" that public
funds should draw Interest for the pub
lic's benefit. Captain Haywood, the
Republican candidate for" state treas
urer, could not do a more timely thing
than to pledge himself. In his letter of
acceptance, to the correction of the
present slip-shod method of handling
atate moneys.
-
Mr. Olmsted is doubtless now sorry
lie spoke. '
A New Currency Plan.
Ex-Govemor Merrlam, of "Minnesota,
one of the ablest of western bankers,
lias tffvlaed a tentative plan for cur
rency reform which he thinks would
satisfactorily fulfil four essential condl
Ions. First, It would provide a cur;
rency safe and properly secured; sec
ondly. It would at all times b redeem
able In old or Its equivalent; thirdly,
It would circulate at par 1n all parts
of the United fitates; and fourthly. It
would be sufficiently elastic to accom
tnodaito Itself, automatically, to the
varying conditions of trade. We give
1 Hour a summary ef the plan, as out
llnetf at length by Its author before a
recent meeting of bankers at Atlanta.
Let, say, 40 per cent, of the capital
stock of a National bank be Invested
in United States notes, and circulation
tie Issued against the same, the bills re
maining In the hands of the treasurer,
and currency to an amount equal to the
remaining 60 per cent, of the capital
stock to be delivered to the bank by the
comptroller for Issuance when desired.
Before the unsecured currency Is for
warded, however, each bank should
pay Into the treasury' of the United
States a sum equal to 6 per cent, of Its
capital stock, which.' should remain
In the handS'Of the treasurer as a Bank
Circulation- Safety Fund, and 'upon
which the government would pay per
cent. Interest In case of the failure
of any National bank the government
could at once reimburse ifaself out of
the redemption fund, provided the as
sets of the failed bank, upon which It
should have a first Hen, should prove
Insufficient. The government, In cases
where both these securities '.are .Insuf
ficient, may assess each-bank In the
eyatem, pro rata, to an amount suffi
cient to fully Indemnify It for any losses
Incurred, provided In any. one year no
bank tfhall be thus assessed-more than
1 per cent, of -Its average circulation
for the previous -year.' ' , '. -,' !
Inasmuch as Mere are likely to be at
least 4.000 banks organised tinkler any
national law. Governor Merriam thinks
that the treasurer might act as re
deeming agent for all of the banks, in
accordance with the present usage, and
that each bank should at all times keep
with the treasurer 6 per cent, of its
capital stock as a redemption fund,
which fund should be in gold coin, and
held in trust for the speciflo purpose
Intended, and not mingled with other
moneys, and not counted as part of the
funds of the treasury. As fast as notes
are redeemed, the bank should at once
remit a sum that would repair any de
ficiency read? by redemption, and new
notes be forwarded by the comptroller
to the bank where paper has been can
celled. Inasmuch as the banks would
make a profit out of the circulation not
secured by United States notes or Sher
man notes (for he would Include both),
Mr. Merrlam'e belief Is that all of the
banks should pay a tax upon the unse
cured notes to the government, for the
privilege accorUed thorn. This tax
Should be made sufficiently large to ac
conipllrh three things. First, to pay all
thi expenses of the otlkv of the comp
troller of the currency. Including the
printing of bunk notes, engraving, etc.
Secondly, to pay the Unltrtr States for
the charters granted, a handsome rev
enue, which should aid in defraying
general expense; and thirdly, to make
the currency elastic, lty means of a
tax sufficiently large to compass the
above, the currency would flow Into
tho channels of trade wherever there
was a demand for It. Mr. Merriam
would have every bunk desiring to be
come national, pay a tux of 3 per cent,
per annum upon the amount of Its av
erase circulation.
In his opinion It can at onoe be seen
that whenever and wherever the de
mands for money are sufficiently active
to enable banks to lend their funds at
prices that will net them over 2 per cent
there will be an Incentive to put out
tho currency, but when it is worth less
than that amount, as It has boon In
Now York and Boston for some months,
the unsigned bills would remain In
vaults. The government would receive
several millions of dollars per annum
Into Its coffers to aid In paying Its bills,
as a return for the privilege granted
the banks. In addition, the Interest on
one hundred millions of gold now main
tained In tJleness. would be saved, nnd
the gold put into active use Instead of
being out of the channels of trade, there
being no further use for a "jTold re
serve." aa the bulk of the greenbacks
and Sherman notes would be at3orbed
as a basis for currency or as a reserve
against deposits In banks. Mr. Mer
riam would extend the privileges of this
plan to banks with only $23,000 capital
or even lf-ss, in order that all parts of
the country might have the advan
tages of the national system; but he
would provide stringent safeguards
against the admission of "mushroom"
banks to the privileges herein outlined.
The feature of this plan of Interest to
bankers Is that It woufJ afford a small
profit to banks on their circulation,
while Its advantage to the government
would lie in the wiping out of the present
costly and vexatious "endless chain"
of treasury notes, the doing away of the
gold reserve and the provision for that
emergency which will come with the
extinguishment of the national debt,
not to mention Its Incidental revenue.
To the general public the plan offers ad
ditional security and would. It would
seem, result In the stimulation of
banking enterprises in localities where
the absence of banking facilities now
places a serious burden on the various
processes of general commerce. It oc
curs to us. In view of those advantages,
that the Merriam plan embodies a dis
tinct advance upon preceding sugges
tions and would afford the basis of de
sirable legislation.
Mr. Burke will probably wait a long
time for that letter from Washington
reopening the case.
Luzerne's Judicial Cattle.
The morning organ of the Luzerne
Democracy 'is up to Its old tricks. It
seeks to create prejudice because some
of the papers In this city have called at
tention to the gross Impropriety In
volved In the partisan candidacy of Mr.
MciLean for a position on the bench of
a court that already contains two Dem
ocratic and no Republican law Judges.
As one of those papers The Tribune re
asserts Its right to warn Its many Lu
zerne county readers against tho un
wisdom of voting for a wholly partisan
Judiciary. It considers that the char
acter of the Luzerne bench Is fairly a
matter of concern to Pennsylvanlans
everywhere, and especially to the in
habitants of a section whose legal In
terests often overrun county lines.
In this connection we may say, with
all deference to the Democratic oppo
nent of Judge Bennett, who both per
sonally and professionally commands
our respect, that we do not believe the
intelligent citizens of the mother coun
ty will emulate the Wllkes-Barrs News
Dealer's recent reversal of opinion con
cerning the expediency of packing their
court with Judges all of one political
faith, albeit types of often wrangling
Democratic factkins. Signs are, not
wanting to Indicate that they Intend to
elect Judge Dennett by an overwhelm
ing majority.
The Tammany campaign in New
York Is being conducted almost wholly
upon the ostensible ground of emollient
sympathy for the "poor worklngman,"
who, "if he wants his beer on Sunday.
ought to have it." But is there any evi
dence to prove that the worklngman,
In New York or elsewhere, regards as a
hardship the deprivation of one-day's
beer which means another day's bread?
What reputable leader of labor In this
country asks for open Sunday saloons
out of deference to the thirst of the
worklngman? Furthermore, What does
Tammany care for the worklngman?
What did It ever do for him but to rob
him? :
If the people of Kentucky can stand
it to - have William Cabell Preston
Breckenridge of Madeline Pollard re
nown return to public life, the people
of tho rest of these United States will
have to try to.' But it's mlfhty rough
on Ail innocent public
The ' Philadelphia Times la : frank
enough' to tay that It all alone regarded
the objection to the limited vote clause
of the Hupenor court act as nothing but
a quibble. "The same word, by the way, j
would cover most of the pther objec
th'i. . "
Ex-Mayor Hewitt of New York, a
Democrat of Democrats, defines Tam
many HaH as "an organisation main
tained for no other purpose than public
robbery," and adds; "It has no politi
cal principles. It does not represent the
Democratic party. It has no notion of
those principles which real Democracy
suggests. It la simply an organization
of men who see an opportunity, through
combined action, of controlling the pub
lic purse. I wish this community could
understand that. I wish men who call
themselves Democrats, a til who are
honorable men, could get some concep
tion of the damage to Democracy which
this looting organization causes." Yet
It Is thl monumental conspiracy of
convicted handlers and knaves that
boast Ingly seeks re-lnstallatlon In the
places of power. Will Gotham be twice
buncoed by the same gang?
Innsmuch as the Philadelphia Lexow
Ing Job has passed under the control of
a non-partisan body of foremost citi
zens, we see no particular reason why
the knave-hunt should be longer post
poned. Let the band play.

"THE DEVIL. AND THE DEE? SEA."
A TIMELY CALL 10 W0 UK.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Mujor Everett Warren, president of tho
Republican Leugue clu'oj of IVunaylvania,
has Issued an earnest call to the members
of the various Republican clubj through
out the state. He summons thorn to ag
gressive activity in the work of securing
a large majority in the state thU year, iu
a proper and encouraging beginning for
the great presidential campulyn upon
which the country is about to enter. The
call ought to get into the hands of every
young Republican, and particularly of
every club member, In the state. The best
usefulness of these club organisations is
in their campaign work. If they are prop
erly directed the young men who consti
tute their membership will accomplish
much that cannot well be done under any
other Influences, and it Is far more ser
viceable than wrangling over party policy
or contesting for petty honors. It needs
hut an earnest effort on the part of the
Republican clubs, united with the main
forces of the party organization, to get
out the nearly complete vote of the party.
This Is ths yenr to exert a little effort
In that direction. The great majority of
lust year is nut unlikely to have n ten
dency to mnke some Republicans In a
measure Indifferent; to malco them feel
that the lesson which It carried with It in
not In need of repetition this year. That
is a wrong view. It Is true there will bo
no Democratic congress sitting nt Wash
ington the coming winter to menace the
country with Its vagaries nnd Incapacity,
hut there Is continued Democratic con
trol of the executive branch of the gov
ernment. This the people want to change
next year, and that change will be made
difficult or easy by the Indications :lven
In the result of this year's elections.
Pennsylvania has been for miny years nt
the head of the column of KetmbHcnn
stntes; It will continue there only by koep
lng up those trreat mslorltles which
mrned the distinction. The majorities
will not be maintained unless the nnrty
vote Is polled. No rtr-nitbdcsn can afford
to neirlect his duty In the belief that some
one else will make It up; there will not be
a big majority In Pennsylvania this ye.ir
nniess every one does his full share. The
fact that there are few local contests to
create Interest such as Is always stlrreil
up when important county officers nro to
be chosen makes unusual effort all the
more necessary. If there Is a fulling off
In the vote thvre will be a falling off In
tho majority.
No one should delude himself with tbo
Idea that the opposition Is Idle end In
hopeless confusion. It Is not. It has
msde preparation to take every ndvnn:te
of the least llcpubllenn Indifference In any
cjiiHrlcr, and It will mske more than nn
ordinary effort to poll Its full vote. It
fully understands the Impnitntire of an ef
fective demonstration on the eve of a
presidential election. No K-puhllcnn
should fall to s-ipreoliito this fnet end ut
tend to It, to fur as his Individual doty Is
concerned, thnt no lnUcnllon of future
pfmorrntlc success Is riven In the result
of the election to be held next month. Let
every Rornihllrsn In Pennsylvania who
Is (pintMcd to vote knew the fart that nny
considerable fading of In the msorlty In
this state will he used all over the conn
try ss an Indlestlnn of retundn ronn
deneo In th Iiemrorntlc mrly, whose first
administration for more than 'Mrty yenrs
braiicht the country milhln but s panto,
f'nnfldence was lere'y restored by tho
Iteriutdtcsn malorltle of left yr. I,ot
us continue that good work by getting out
all tho votes now.

assured that her husband Is well and
happy and that he Is playing poker on the
table In the' reception room with several
acquaintances, whose aoclt ty she has de
