It la ciedltable to the dlroctois of Hi
collapsed National Hunk of Illinois tlm
they sent a coninilttee to Washlugto
to confer with the comptroller of th
currency legaidlng the allalis of Hi
bank. It Is not the habit of the dliei
tons of a failed bank to do this and th
clicnmstance may somewhat mltigat
public condemnation , which has boo
unspailng , of those olllclals of tlie 111
mils bank. It Is tuui that the explain
lion they gave the comptioiler Is nc
entirely satlsfnctoiy. What they dl
after their attention had been called t
the bad condition of the Institution 1
their charge was well enough , but the
should not have pel milled the banK t
get Into such a condition and the comr
tioiler was light In Insisting Unit Hi
management of the bank bad been vor ,
negligent.
This is the matter with which the pul :
lie Is concetned and for tlio conectloi
of which. If it be possible to coricct II
legislation Is demanded The people w h
pliue their money on deposit with th
banks assume that the dlicolors ai
vigilant and laltbtul gnanll.ins of till
money. It Is ( his Unit gives them conll
donee and a. sense of security. Lot It Id
undciMood that dlicclois do not dbcct
that they are simply ligniohoad olllclals
who know about the allairs of the Instl
unions with which they ate umneetei
only whal Is ( old them by the snboi
dlnate olllclals , and theie would be ;
geneiai feeling ot disliust ( hat would bi
very damaging to the banking business
Theie Is unquestionably a wldespie.it
fooling that something should lie dom
to compel bank dlroctois to dliect or ti
punish them for f.iilnio to do so. It I'
told of a bank dlieclor In an oasteii
city that be said be could not got tin
Inlormatlon he wanted without insnlllir
the piesldcnt and cashier by assuming
to question their statements. A man si
seiusltlvo as this Is not lltted for the ie
spousiblllty of being tlio custodian ol
other people's money. This question ol
the duties and lospoiislbiHUes of b.inl
dlieetois Is voiy likely to icceive the
seiioiis attention of congiess.

The question of inlioducing the motile
yslem of weights and iniMsuies Into the
'tilted Slates h.is been more or loss dh
1's.sed foi a iiumlier of je.u * and it lias
ol met willi much pudlic favor. The
yslem was adopted peimls-iively by an
ct of congiess passed In ISiJU. which
lovided : "It shall l > luvvful th.ough-

At tlie l.isi Muslim of congress a bill

good deal of oppoiltlon to making 1110

( lions and the measure was Dually re-
iimmltted to the committee on coinage
eights and mcasiuc.s lor consldeia-

iimmlttco o.xpects to lopnri the b'll ' ,

nlM'sslon. It Is undeislood tint It will
rovlile for making tlie motile s.vslem tli- >
landaid In the tiansactlims ot the gov-
ininunt In any foim In which the bill Is
kely to be icportcd , but It may nut be
mile the Htandatd In private trans-

for It Is Ihu fcysrtom already omplojet
In the nioasurqniont of Imports from al

There Is umiiinstlonably much to b
said In favor f/f / t ie adoption of this sys
tern , at least so far a the traniaetlon
at the custom houses are concerned , bu
It Is Imidly proljnble Hint It will receive
public sanction for use In private trans
actions , it would necessitate a popula
education which the people would no
take kindly to and which business moi
would not caio to enter upon. The t ys
tern of weights and measures that every
body Is familiar with Is pretty sure to
bo continued , notwithstanding the fac
that the metric system would be the
safo.r one for the puichasor , when hi
undoi stood It.

Ity far the ablest constitutional hivvyoi
that has occupied a seat In the I'liltei
States senate within the past quaiter o
a century Is Ccorgi ! * R IMmunds o
Voimont. Senator IMimilids , who w'as
and is still iccogiilml by his colleagues
as ant hoi Ity on questions of constltu
Uoiial and Intel national law , has this
to say concerning Cuban Independence
To recognize ns a separate and liulenciHlent
stnto an ) thing so mjtldcal as tlio republic
of Cuba would put tills country la a very
undesirable position , and one In whlcli no
civilized nation v\ould like to be placed
Should tlio resolution piss both houses , It
would result In clothing this political nijtli
with a reality which It never possessed , and
out KOVeminent would receive the minister
or the new state and send a mlnl ter and
consuls to that country and Its cities and
to\\a , If they have any. The republic of
Cuba has no stability , no atitononi ) , no or
ganization no capital. AVe may pity the con
dition of the people and deplore the atrocities
which aie being committed on the Island , butte
to go to the length proposed Is something
which no self-respectliiR nation toulil do
Should tlie prcsldint veto the resolutlc.i
and it be pished over the veto , It would be
a declaration ot congress , which , perhaps ,
would have the same effect as If the presi
dent had signed It. If he , as the executive ,
ihould deem It had that livvful effect Hut
if the president should be of the opinion that
tlio recognition of a new power was purcl )
nn executive fiiiiUloii and refused to carrj
out tlm Instructions of congiess there would
be nothing left for confess to do but to
cither unbuilt or Impeach him for high crime
and misdemeanor in refusing to obey what
congress regarded as a valid law. Hut I
have no Idea tlio resolution will pass , so
that question Is hardly likely to arise.
As to the right of congiess to act In the
matter. It might bo held that this privilege
was Included In tin1 constitutional provision
which gives congress the solo right to declare
war , as It might bo considered ono of the
elements leading to Dtich an event
Secretary Olncy pot only acted propcrlj
but It was a patriotic duty for blinl to make
the statement ho < 1M As the olliclal oJ ( the
government , Intrusted with the management
of our foreign relations. It was his ihitj
to cleat ly state the lesult of such action , and
I haveno doubt tint , If he had taken the
opposite view from that which he did , the
men who are now denouncing , him would
have been the first tli say he was acting In
a perfectly proper manner He did the only
proper thing He would have been neglectIng -
Ing his duty had he done differently.
Pioiii the jingo standpoint such ut-
toiancos may not be patilotlc. Cooige
IMmunds may oven bo accused of
siding with Spain against the Pulled
States , but Mr. IMmunds' reputation
for loyalty and devotion to his coimtii
will not suffer by lea-on of his clear
forcible and logical inosculation of tin
points at issue. To make an independ
out icpnbllc thoie must Hist be a natioi
and at least a do fnclo gov eminent siu-l
as the Aineiic.in colonies had establlshoi
when they puiclalmed their Independ
