Republican newspapers arc already
talking of Major-McICinloy ns a possi
ble candidate for the presidency next
year , and some of them seem to regard
him ns rather more than a possibility.
The fact that Mr. McICinloy is ono of
the available men of his party for such
an honor as a presidential nomination
was recogni/.cd by the republican
national convention of 1888 , and
had ho then boon loss loyal to Ohio's
candidate , John Sherman , no onu is au
thorized to say that ho might not have
received the nomination. His selection
would have been no moro remarkable
than was that of Garliold in 18SO. McKinley -
Kinloy must therefore bo regarded ns a
presidential possibility , but not neces
sarily for 1802. lie can afford to wait ,
and the republican p irty may find it to
bo to its interest that ho shall wait.
The republican party is still rich in
available statesmen. Unlike the demo
cratic party , which has only ono rually
strong loader , it can select from a num
ber of distinguished men , all of whom
are eminent in loadoi-chip and command
the respect and confidence of the
country. No ono can predict with
any degree of certainty what
the next republican national con
vention will do , but it would seem
highly probable that it will consider Iho
claims of at least two statesmen before
giving any attention to those of Mr.
McKiuloy. Those are Bonjnfiiln Harri
son and James G. Blaino. The conven
tion will not ignore the great services
of those representative republicans.
President Harrison deserves well of the
party. His administration has been
wise , practical and strong at
every point. There is nothing
to apologize for. In our inter
national relations and in regard to all
questions of domestic concern President
Harrison lias pursued a judicious policy
which results have abundantly vindi
cated. Ho has steadily grown in "popu
lar favor as a sound and safe chief execu
tive , and the national convention cannot
justly refuse to consider hisclaims. Mr.
Blaine is still as popular with his party
as at any time in his political
career , and in the opinion of
many ho is stronger than over before
with the people of the country. It is
not known that Mr. Blaine desires to ba
again a candidate for the presidency.
If lie tloos , or would accept the nomina
tion , ho could undoubtedly command 'a
very largo following in the convention.
If ho does not wish to bo again a candi
date lie may bo able to say who shall bo.
But in any event it now
seems plain that the convention
must dispose of Harrison and
Blaine before it can j'istly and properly
give consideration to McKinley or any
other possible candidate , and there is
very tmi.ill probability that it would full
to nominate one of the > < o statesmen.
Everybody concedes that Major Me-
Klnloy is a loader of uncommon ability ,
and of great vigor and tiggrossivonoss.
Ho is ono of those earnest , /.onions ,
straightforward men who are bound to
uotnmamt attention and respect for the
sincerity of their convictions , and the
courage with which they defend them.
Republicans everywhere hold him in
high esteem. But ho will not bo a
necessity to the republican party next
year , and there are others who have
prior and equally strong claims to the
honor , which the party will have to
confer.
AbOTIIKIl OHIO
Another contest of national interest ,
the campaign of which is now on. will
bo decided in Ohio next January. This
is the contest for the choioi ? of u'UnltoJ
States senator to succoud John Sherman.
1'ho Hnnatorlal question entered largely
into the Into campaign , and the election
y ( a republican legislature has aroused
, 'roat interest regarding the strength
jf the Sherman and Forakor factions.
1'ho friends of each are claiming the
jortain success of their favorite , but the
ictlvlty of the managers foi both gentle-
uon indicate that neither has such ab-
ioluto confidence In success thai ho is
llspojod to lot the matter rest. Looked
it from this distance It scorns plain that
.ho light will bo a hard ono , and there
s d-ing ( r that It will make some bad
) lood , to the detriment of the p.irty.
L'ho republican notvspapors of iho
itato appear to bo about equally di
vided , though the moro Influential
ournals are supporting Sherman. The
Irst development of the strength of
.ho factions will bn undo In
n-ganhlncr the legislature , and It may
hen bo passible to jmlgo with tolerable
iccuraoy whether Senator Sherman will
jo his own successor or bo forced to give
way to his young competitor , ox-Gov-
urnor Fornkor.
If the republicans of Ohio were sus
ceptible to outside iulluonco there would
txi no room for u doubt regarding the
ro-oloctlon of Senator Sherman. Ropul
lican sentiment everywhere is that i
would bo n misfortune for Ohio and fo
the country to rotlro Sherman from th
sonato. At no other time , at least wlthl
the past do/on years , has there bee
greater need of his wisdom and oxpa
rlonco In the upper branch of congros
than there will bo during the next fov
years. The danger of damaging finan
cial legislation is Imminent , and there
fore there is urgent demand for moi
like Sherman in congress to combat tin
rising tide of financial fallacies. Mt
Forakor Is a man of ability and is entirely
tiroly sound on the currency. Ills vote
were ho In congress , could doubtless b
depended on to bo always on the righ
sldo. But something more will bo re
quired of thu friends of sound money , ii
the struggle that Is before the
country , timn votes , and the mos
ardent friend of .Mr. Forako
will hardly claim that ho Is as wol
qualified to supply this as Senator Slier
man. The following of the ox-r/ovornoi
in Ohlols largo and enthusiastic , ant
unquestionably ho merits the ardent
confidence in him that is manifested
But surely Senator Sherman has a mud
stronger claim upon Iho party by reason
of his services extending over a third o
a century , while his pro-eminence as i
statesman ought to cxcltido any othoi
from consideration in connection will :
the place ho occupies , as it docs fron
comparison with him , so long as ho i ;
able to represent Ohio In the national
senate.
TIIK increase in the amount of monoj
in circulation in the United States ii
the single month of October , was ovei
* UO,000,000 , the largest increase eve :
made in ono month. If this rate of in
crease should bo maintained IhoquantiU
of money available for the use of the
American pcoplo would grow about
eight times as fast , in pro
portion , as the increase in the
population of the country. Sucli
an expansion of the circulating medium ,
without resorting to a fiat currency , ot
opening our miuts to a fiood of siivei
from all parts of the world , ought tc
satisfy all reasonable people. It is not
to bo expected that such a rate of
increase will bo maintained , and doubt
less conservative financiers will say it
is not desirable that it should bo. It is
not necessary to the prosperity ofthe
country that the circulating medium
should ggow eight times as fast as popu
lation. But the fact is that tbo supply
of money is increasing very much faster
than populationand under existing laws
must continue to do so , while every dollar
lar that goes into circulation is sound
and is amply protected against deprecia
tion. So long as the country has a cur
rency of this kind all' interests will be
secure from injury , but there would bo
speedy disastoi to prevailing conditions
if wo had the frco and unlimited coinage
of silver.
THUUK is no foundation whatever for
the assertion that Gcorgo A. Bennett is
ineligible to the otllco of sheriff of
Douglas' County. Mr. Bennett is a na
tive of Canada. Ho tool : out his first
naturalization papers in 1887. Ho is
eligible to any ollico within the gift of
the suite of Nebraska , excepting that of
congressman , United States senator ,
governor , lieutenant governor and judge
of the state supreme court. These ate
the only officers under the con
stitution who must bo citizen ! } of the
United States before tlioycnn be eligible
to any of those otlicos. Members of
the legislature are inolitriblo unless they
have resided within the district from
which they are elected for ono year before
fore their election. Even members of
the legislature are not required to bo
full citizens of the United States , but
only electors of the state of Nebraska
nnd any male foreigner becomes an elec
tor by a residence of six months in the
state and making the declaration of his
intention to become n citizen of the
United Statns thirty days hoforo the
lay of election. This applies to county
uid municipal olllces and of course ap
plies to Mr. Bennett.
AccouniNO to Dictator Burrows and
, ho belated Mr. Edgorton , the farmers
) f Nebraska are to bhimo for the disas-
or that bus overtaken tlio indopon-
louts. TJiis only emphasizes the
idngo : There are none so blind as
.hose . who will not see. It is as
ilain as the nose on Mr. Burrows' face
hat the farmers of Nebraska are dfs-
[ usted with bosses and dictators. L-ist
our they were mud enough to oat any
llsh of corn. They swallowed oven such
.n unpalatable dish ns MoICoighun with
its Webster county record. But times
uivo changed. Nebraska alliance far-
uors are intelligent and conscientious
nough to realize that as good1 citizens
hey cannot nlYorJ to foist into the
liu'hcst positions men who are totally
milt for them. Thai is Iho l"uo Inward-
iOss of Iho defection of alliance farmers.
ONK of the defects of the national
lanklng system is the Insecurity of do-
losltor.s. National bank notes are as
oed as gold because the bonds on do-
losil In the national treasury are hold
s security for their redemption , and
TncloSun ; is obligated to reimburse every
loldor of a national bank note with a
undrod cents on the dollar. But
rlion it comes to the depositor
u is no safer in a national
ank than in a private bank. It
ucms to us that congress should take
time stops to protect depositors ayliinsl
lie reckless loaning oul of their funds ,
'hero Is no reason why the government
ould not compel those banks to take
oposlts under the same conditions that
licy do the deposits of government

upositors ,

On Juno 21 , 1S53 , while in Smyrna , Syria ,

Diplomatic negotiations wont on for sev
eral days , when Capt-iin lugraliam learned
that the Austrian brig intended to sail chin-
uostinoly for Trieste , taking her prisoner
with bar. Ingraham at once placed his ship
wlioroslio commanded the channel , and noti
fied the Austrians that unless ICoszta was re
leased by July 3 ho would opau fire on the
Austrian brig. These vigorous manures ro-
nulled in the surrender of Ko ta to thu koop-

about 17,000 Inhabitants , has ijuilo an array
of shops , n very old church or two , aud
streets upon streets of quaint llttlo brlelc
houses where dwell the families of the llsh-
orman , the said families spending most of
their tune in the open air. either at work
upon the nots. turning the drying llsh that
nro suspended over n sort of arbor , or else
enjoying a cozy cfint with the neighbors.
The town Is protected from the sea by the
great sand dunes , which are hugo hil'ls of
saud that the winds have piled high , some
covered with n courageous growth of green
and some moro white drifted sand. There is
something dreadfully forlorn about these
dunes , ana it is a startling and delightful
change to Hash out from among them to a
high point and to look abroad upon the vast
extended view of ocean and beach.
The fishing boats are brought up on to the
sands by taking them upon rollers and hav
ing mon or horses pull them up high and dry.
Then thu llth ura sold at auction , all of this
milking a moat unique and spirited sight.
The boats are wide And very short , are
troincndlously stout and have enormous rud
ders and big Heavy sldo boards , whllo the
sails are painted in dull red , yellow or dari :
blue.

The lishonnau and his wife nro figures full
o f interest to the stranger. They show such
an utter disregard to the fact that while bus
ily discussing some matter of local interest
they are often limes half way to their knees
in water , and ono of the ehiof among their
llttlo jnkos seems to bo to thoroughly drench
any chance dry member of the fraternity.
The man is dressed in yellow duck
trousers that nro large and loose , a
dark blue sort of blouse and the
regulation fisherman's hat. The woman
Is a curiosity , for it is with difficulty that ono
recognizes her claims to a feminine clement.
Instinctively ono's thoughts lly back to what
our dear own American poet bus called
thi'so women "brown old wives , " for It
does so perfectly express what they are.
The winds and" the rains and the sun
have burned them to the rieiiost
urown , their out-of-door hfo has made
them like healthy animals , whllo llioir hard
laborious work has given them frames and
muscles of Iron.
When nuidurao is in full toilet , however ,
. ho is grand indeed. Her dress , ot homo
dark color , is hold out by largo hoops that ,
singularly enough , are "nearly as largo
around her body as down at hnr aultles ,
Enormous wooden shoes hold her foot ,
around her neck is a string of beads , and
upon her head is n structure that baffles mv
power of description. It Is of wliito muslin ,
often embroidered , that covers the head
and falls over the shoulders , and It
is uiuned to the hair , about the face , by pins
that look like nothmgso much as a gold Dover
egg boater. Extending along the sldo of the
head is u wide , long and curved piece of
metal , presumably belonging to the pins , but ,
as A small young American with me remarked
'they would bo line In case of war. "
Occasionally ono meets a sight hero in the
town of Schovonlngcr that is too funny for
moro words to convoy any idea of It. It is to
see aelddyblaek lace 'confection" in the
shape of a bonnet of the season of 1891
perched upon and tied down over this old
time head gear. The looks of envy and ad
miration that follow such a combination only
add to the comical side of the picture , for
oven hero in Holland the foniininiTmind rises
superior whoa n now Uoiiaot is in order.
The little girls nro small copies
of their motlier , with old ma
ture faces , quaint dress and a
sort of close cap , with the same pins and
side gear. But in spite of the amount of
labor they are expected to perform for each
ono in the family hero must take his or her
share of the work they arn yet very line
other children , full of pranks and play and
enjoying to the utmost thu gay scones of
fashionable Hfo on the beach.
The small boy of the family often does a
thriving business with tno small donkey helots
lots out to children for a rldo on tno sunds.
He is keen as a razor over a bargain and is
not always to be trusted behind the donkoy.
Ho runs alongside and offers free advfco as
to the best styles of horsemanship and the
management of the llery steed , occasionally
giving the beast a sounding whack that has
no visible effect toward increasing the speed
and only brings out a cloud of gray
dust from the animal's flank. Suddenly ,
however , the young man fell behind the
steed , and without tlio slightest warning
that donkey developed a speed and a disposi
tion wonderful to witness.

The bathing machines nro another of the
novel sights to an American. They uro pon-
abio bath houses : a frame work of wood eov-
orod with canvas , with two .small windows ,
fitted iiiahlo with u seat , u shelf and u small
mirror , the door reached oy moans of stops.
GNU buys a ticket for a bath and the towels ,
gives up the ticket to an attendant upon the
beach , mounts thu stops , closes the door and
in a few moments iluds the bath house being
drawn by u horse down into the water. Tno
horse goes back to perform similar service
for uuolhor oustomor , ami walking down the
steps ono readies the water without an un-
plo-isant long walk before the hundreds of
people looking on at the sport.
Kvon in ttn water ono is imdor tlio con-
atunt care of thu attendant man and woman ,
forbidden to go too far out or to take any
risks , and oven told when it is tune to end
the bath. Entering the bath house , the
horse is again brought into play , mid after
the toilet onu has only to slop down and out
to tbo firm sands again.
In order that the visitor may know Just
how matters stand with the elonioii'.s bulle
tins are posted giving the temperature of sea

All sorts and conditions of pcoplo nro to bo

that the young pcoplo of Holland nro allowed
to mlnglo together , If not so freely as In
Amorlcn , still In n marked degree of familiar
ity in comparison with other countries in

Of course Holland has a "summer girl , "
nnd she is to bo found at Schavenlngcr as
upon her native health. She Is arrayed
In n marvellous creation by the
Dutch Worth and Is to bo seen
lying Indolently back In a carriage whllo hall
n dozen of the glided youth lean over the
doors and offer their honmgo , or she may bo
soon enthroned In a beach chair while lying
nt her foot nro her devoted followers , and to

On the top of the dunes Is n sort of terrace
paved with bricks , a milo or so long , nnd it
follows the undulations of iho sand hills.
Along this nro built the hotels , cottages nnd
theaters , whllo below the terrace and be

A Hitof , History.
At ono end of the line of dunes stand a line
lighthouse and nn ohelt.sk , n monument
orcctod In IStW. It Is of pure whlto stone and
has upon the lop n gilt bull. This
obollsit Is n memorial of the landing of Wlll-
I at this point after the Krench had been
driven from Holland with the help of the
Prussians and Russians. The mon
ument boars upon Its pedestal
the inscriptions "Uod Saved the
.Netherlands" and "Tho Thankful I'ooplo. "
Considering that the "thankful people" dur-
inp the rijlgn of this William I. bocumo so
dissatlsllod with him that ho abdicated In
favor ot his son and spout the rest of his Hfo
over In Dcrlln , it causes ono to smiln to read
the high-sounding Inscription.
The chief building upon the beach Is the
Kurhuis or U.-and Hotel des Unlni. Tills
was buUt by the municipal council
of The Hnguo in order to turn
the bo.'ich of Schevonlngen to some
nccount In the way of profit to the
town. It is 550 yards long , is entirely sur
rounded by wide verandas , and is lighted
by an immense gloss cupola. Two thousand
live hundred people are easily accommodated
hero for dinners or suppers , while line music
Is always to bo hoard. A good theater forms
part of the establishment , and a covered gal
lery contains some live shopj where beauti
ful bric-n-bric , fans , iacos , Jewelry and
photographs may bo purchased.
Driving along the beach toward The Hague
after n day spent in enjoyment of thu unique
scones that surround us , suddenly. In a
"
sheltered nook among the traos , wo" catch n
Hooting gllmpso of a pair of Dutch lovers.
Llko the ostricli she lias hidden her head
( behind her parasol ) and so feels secure from
tne public gaze. Close beside IUM- , with his
arm about her waist , sits her lover , and they
are so absorbed In each other that
they fail to see or hoar our
passing carriage. Uo wherever ono will
there may bo read the same old , old story of
love , the story forever now. tlio story that
make * so much of the world's history.
And so wo roll away from Schovcninpon
Jown the long avenue of forest trees bor-
ilorcd by the promomulo nnd the handsome
villas of the wealthy pcoplo of The Hague
Mid wo take with us memories of a delight

It hns boon held by Mr , Lncoy , the comp
troller cf thoeurrcney , thfit there Is no ini-
thorltr under which ho can close A national .
bank except It bo clearly proven that it Is In
solvent. Whnt really constitutes insolvency
Is perplexing the Treasury department olll-
clnls Just now In connection with the failure
of thn Maverick National at Uoston. Secre
tary Foster , who Is nn old hnnkcr nnd now
nt the bond of n private bank which docs n
largo business , Is quoted ns Imvlug nnlci in n
jonvorsatlon thu other day that
the cxccsslvo endorsements of the direc
tors of the Mnvorlck bank ithould have been
construed oy Comptroller Lncor to como
within tlio insolvency clruiso of the national
bunking laws. It will bo remembered that
some months ngo the comptroller of the cur
rency railed the nttontion of iho directors of
the Mavorlt'k to the fact that they hnd en-
dorscd to a greater extent than they nhoutd ,
if the Interests of the bonk wore to bo se
cure , nnd thnt ho demanded of them that
they reduce the amount of their endorse
ments. Experts in the comptroller's ofllco
contend that If n director of n national banker
or anybody else endorses beyond a limit
where ho could redeem or mnko the paper
gootl In the event of tbo failure of the bor
rower , the excessive endorsements can
bo nothing more nor less than worth
less and iho pnpcr must bo taken
out of the assets of the bank ,
if this rule should have been ndopted with
reference to thu Maverick , as that
institution was umiuostionnbly Insolvent
many months ago , and If the ex
cessively endorsed paper of tlio bunk
had been carried to the loss account of ttm
institution , it would have been made Insol
vent beyond doubt. In other words an en
dorser Is in n degree to be regarded as a bor
rower. The quc.stlou of Insolvency anil ex-
cesslvo endorsements is ono of not only great
Interest but the greatest possible moment to
bankers nnd every man who is Interested In
banking , oven U > the extent of being a tie
posltor. Secretary Foster is credited
with having convoyed or with
having intended to convoy to
Comptroller l.acoy the Idea that unsecured
paper should bo charged off the nccount if
a bank whenever thu oudorscis refuse to so-
euro It otherwise. Uy this process all se
curities held by n bank as soon as they nro ,
under business llko aud good banking
methods , rcrjnrdod ns unsecured , should
movoarouml aputnst the assets of the banic
iiml if they nro sufllclnnt to absorb enough of
the capital , will mnko thu bank under the
law insolvent. Another extremely Im
portant feat uro of the question Is ns to
whether endorsements shall bo considered in
their cumulative form. If they .should bo so
concluded -and endorsers stopped when
they have reached the aggregate
of their assets , very radical
changes In national banking methods will
lava to bo adopted. At present there Is no
aw or rule In the comptroller's ' olllco for-
jlddlng any amount of endorsements. That
las been left wholly to the discretion of thu
bankers.
