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. Republican victory in 'Maryland. New Jersey and Kentucky ntxt month would hnvo a tenOency to debilitate the thlrd toi m u.ovi mi nt, and It looks as If that movement wire slated for a debilitation. Of the 31,01)0 decrease In New York city's registration this fall, five-sixths 'rome front the Tammany strongh ills. The tiger, next month, may miss Its hubltual stuffing. We trust It Is nut true that this ad mlnit tniMoii, in Its eagerness to uvold giving oftriioe to (Ireat Britain, has of fered to mibnilt the Monroe doctrine to arbitration. The Tribune, next Saturday, will con tain a stirring, complete story by Rud yard Kipling, entitlf l "Quluuoni." It Is written In this master novelist's best vein. It is woi'.h noticing as an livlex to lojil business conditions that the S.-ranton Lulldlng "boom" has taken off Its things and divided to stuy. The plan now Is for Grover to pose as a Jlngoirt until after the November elec tions. The plan Is excellent, but It will pot work. It Is suct'ested that the Honorablu Cr.mt I.'e:r;ni; now sot to work on a scheme of reciprocity. "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. ATLAXTA JoTlP. Ths list of Jurors on awards st the At lanta exposition eontelns some of the mol fjimoiis name of this continent.

Imagine the ttnsatlon that th white Mahatma and his hypnotised wife will make In the land of the sun, particu larly -among the class of people that abound In the south I If the Baldwins succeeded In creating such a commotion ss that of last winter la this prosaic, un excltable community they will find them selves In the center ef a cyclone district In Atlants. It will be a One Held for their talents. They can scare soma of their pa trons Into fits by the occult Information that John flmlth In such a tow and such a seat Is visiting the exposition with his neighbor's wife from Phllidalphla; or sometbins; to that t fleet that the ladjr In the yellow bonnet in the balcony may rest 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 cided to be undesirable. They can locute stolen property la a manner that will cre ate tho direat consternation, and can prophesy certain events to come that will cause the southerner to wish they had never undertaken to build an exposition. Altogether the announcement of the Bald win In Atlanta opens up a wide fluid of amused speculation as to tho results Nov. 13, the day the big delegation from Pennsylvania lands In Atlanta, will bo the date of the commercial men's visit and there will be silk hutx, up to date top coats and correct lies Knlore.
