New' York. movement" of Democrats in Louisiana to join forces with the Pro greesive party is the logical sequence of political events, the natural course of sentiment among dissatisfied i Democrats in every Southern State, and In every state in the Union.

The Republican party name does not appeal to dissatisfied Democrats, i but that of the Progressive party, magnetized by Its pronounced Amer i icanlsm, its disposition to deal fairly i and justly with' industrial situations and business affairs, its strenuous ef forts to promote the extension of the interests of this country abroad, the feeling that if it were in power Amer- ican' citizens in foreign countries would receive prompt and ample pro-' tection these aims and principles appeal to Democrats dissatisfied with i their own Administration's surrender 1 to every foreign country, great and small, in affairs of international na- ture. While partisanship has not been bo mild in the United States for years as it is at present, while i we see in every state the steady disso- i lution of. party bonds, yet all must recognize it is much easier for former i Democrats and former Republicans to assemble anew for co-operation in political action at the half-way house (' of the Progressives than to go to the headquarters of the former antago -l'r Louisiana's movement will, without doubt, be followed in states like Ten-j Kentucky, North Carolina, Texas and West Virginia, while In New York State there is full realiza-j tion of the power of the independent i Republicans, independent Democrats and Progressives if they can arrange 1 a basis of co-operation in the coming campaign. The repudiation of the Democratic platform pledge as to the Panama Canal by the President and the Ad- ministration such a plain, direct and uncalled-for breaking of faith with the electors of the country was a smashing blow at the people's confidence in the party leaders. The entire foreign policy of the "Administration has been truckling, trifling, weak and non-American.

So different has It been from the glorious and progressive policies of former Democratic Administrations that it has not only brought humiliation to our people abroad, but has aroused a righteous resentment among the patriotic masses of the oo people that will not be appeased until ia different policy is adopted by the Government of the United States. Both. Progressive and Republican parties will gain this fall through their re-enforcements of Democrats opposed to the actions of the Federal Administration. At this very time the Progressives 1 in Louisiana, in the South generally, 4 have the call upon those re-enforce-' ments, and If the independents and I Progressives of New York and Penn- eylvania should get together and co- operate the movement would find re Eponse throughout the Unions The Report on the New Haven.

This was no railway operation in undeveloped territory; no' speculative road as far as actual earnings and expenses were concerned, but through manipulations it ia evident that It, was made colossus speculation Cf or the insiders, andthat the lossesr fall "upon the Investors who had faith" in the business ability, the financial resources and business integrity of those who had acquired control of -a-valuable and profitable railway. A severe blow hat been dealt railway affairs by those largely interested in them. The Stock Exchanges ind, what are termed the security markets hate been badly hit by these disclosures r.r.d the' oftciai. confirmation of theifi try the Interstate Commerce Commie sion. In face of these facts how can bur railway managers expect foreign capital to becomeavallable to them unless the investors are guaranteed against just such speculative opera tions? In view of these facts is it any wonder that Wall street is dull and I ttg complaints that the public will not come into the market are long con tinued?

Three Important Conventions To Be Held in South. At Time When Harvest Should Begin To Show Its Force. Great Hopes Held For Future of Dixie, Holland Says Exports Not Decreased Materially.

sraciAX, msraTca to ths b.nqcisi. New York July 15. One of the Amer ican business men whose business Is "big." la reported from Washington to have told President Wilson that he is now' persuaded that the United States Is speedily to enter upon an era of pros pertty which, both relatively and abso lutely, is to be greater- than any other the country has experienced. one or the reasons he Is reported to have given to the President for his be lief is the assurance that the United States is to garner the largest crop har vested at any time in its history. A harvest of tih kind, in his view, is the one irresistible influence which Is to carry the Industries of the' United states over the dead center which has characterised them for the past two or three years.

Careful estimates made in this city of what the value In money of the harvest of Indian, corn this year wUl be to the farmers the estimate of course being based upon the latest report Issued by the Government is that the money return to the famers for their Indian will be approximately $1,500,000,000. May Be Underestimated. The chances are that this will be found to have been an underestimate, since it presumably Is based upon a quotation of 50 cents a bushel, for Indian corn. Corn and wheat together should yield the farmers In excess of 2.000.00n,- 00O, and unless the cotton harvest of this year is sadly deficient that should be of the money value of $1,000,000,000. Another reason given for the expectation that we may be upon the eve of an era of very great prosperity Is to be found in the fact that throughout the United States stocks of goods are estimated to be at the lowest point which they have resched in many years.

For that reason there must be speedily an increase in the demand for commodities of the. kind which are dealt in in retail shops all over the country. An Increased demand of that kind will reflect Increase of manufacture and considerable In crease in railway transportation. Some in this city are wondering whether the intimations that the United States Steel Corporation is now finding itself in possession of Increased orders does not reflect an Increased domestic de mand for commodities of all kinds, for there do not seem to be large increases in the demand for commodities manufactured by the United States Steel corpora- 1 tion for exportation. Exports Not Decreased.

In fact our great Industries, a part of whose vocation Is the export trade, have found during the entire season of de pression that this trade with foreign lands has not been materially decreased. In fact the exportation presumably this year of manufactured commodities of an approximate money -value of ll.4O0.OOri,-000 will enable the industries which are engaged In the export trade to tide themselves over the times of domestic business depression. Another symptom which is thought reasonably to forecast a revival of prosperity before the end of this year and a continuation and increase of prosperity nex't year is to be found in the great activity in the South. This is to be well demonstrated In the fall months of this year. First of all, the American Bankers'' Association is to hold it annual ineeiting at Richmond.

The fact that Richmond Is a reserve city under the new banking law and the additional fact that the American Bank ers'. Association is thoroughly representative of the banking interests of the entire United States furnish reasons for believing that the attention of the country will be centered upon this gathering. Much of the discussions, formal and informal, which will take place at this gathering" will be teased upon, the organisation and operation of the new national banking system. Furthermore, there la to be demonstration of the amazingly great Increase in banking and financial activities in those States in the South which, until about the year 1880, were almost exclusively occupied In the cultivation of cotton. There is likely, also to te certainly Informal, and possibly formal, discussion of the economic effect on the state of Louisiana consequent upon the operation of the new tariff law.

Oood Boads Convention. Another great organization, representing practically the enftlre country, is to hold a convention at Atlanta, In November. This organization is composed of those who are actively occupied in stimulating the construction, of good roads all over the countryf he latest previous meeting of this congress at Detroit served greatly to stimulate the interest in good to ads and construction, and St is' expected that the Atlanta convention of this year will still further stimulate personal as well as legislative activities in favor of g6od roads. Then again one of the great American organizations interested in fostering the Iron and steel industry of the United States is to have an annual convention at Birmingham In Octooer. From some points of view this is llkelyto be the most important of these gatherings which are to be held In the South in October and November of this year.

The American Iron and Steel Institute thought to have acted wisely, in making selection of Birmingham as the place for Its annual meeting this year- The institute is of world-wide authority. Even In-numbers its membership is not exceeded by that of any other iron or steel organization in the world. There will gather certainly as many as 1.200, and possibly as many afe 1.500. members of this organisation. The institute an industry which now' controls nearly one halt of the world's iron Output It has developed to a high degree many of the' best features of modern Industry reflecting the true principles of business and manufacturing economy.

This institute was the first organisation1 In the United 8tates lo demonstrate that true business economy is secured by the adoption of the principle of co-opera-ticn. The Institute ii nil Mx.T-r 1 li )r I i ii li 7 Mil Laa Sn7 The Host Popular Peer. The man who fathers sport in England more than any other Is Lord Lonsdale. He Is a sportsman in every cense. In old days, before Carpentler and other gn- ers interfered, it would have sufficed to say that he was an Englishman.

He is one of the ancient Britons of whom the chroniclers were fond of writing that tbey could each and all lick three Frenchmen, four Spaniards, five Dutchmen and a Portugee. One of the secrets of his success as a sportsman Is that he never- tried to be anything else. He has never pretended to be politician, or a philanthropist, or' a courtier, or a man of tastc or a letter writer. He might write an article for a sporting- Journal with but his tribute to the memory of the late King was, I couch? In language that nobody would dream of. calling liter ature.

But It was written in the robutt phrases of a bluff Englishman, who meant every word of it. although he expressed it somewhat bluntly. It would seem out of bounds of conventionality for a peer to have training quarters of fighters under his own roof. Yet this ia what Lord Lonsdale has done many times at his mansions at Barley Thorpe. Further than this he has even helped the training fighters, often suffering a knockout blow in the mixup.

He knows the game well, however, and-glves usually more punches than he receives. Professional fighters and sportsmen in general are very chary of admitUng gentlemen to their good fellowship; and Lord Lonsdale is perhaps the only peer who has been "put on an equality." so to speak, with the downright gentry of -his stables, with farmers, trainers, dog-breeders and the men who do the actual what the harmful effects of cut-throat competition are. It r.as been said of the institute that, as an organization. It has done more to develop a broad policy of co-operation Instead of cut-throst competition than has been accomplished by all other business organizations combined. The Institute has shown that co-operation itioes not involve violation of Federal or slate laws.

It does Involve the elimination of ruinous competition and the maintenance of influences which will serve to steady prices. Birmingham and the great Industries which the name Identifies will be sure favorably to Influence the American Steel and Iron Institute. The direct and indirect effect of the convention which Is to be held at Birmingham will, it is believed here, certainly aid In stimulating the revival of business prosperity. Many thtnk that the first visible demonstration that the revival has begun will be made by the Iron and steel industries of the United It is spoken of here as especially fortunate that at this time when the American people are beginning to realise that If business lethargy. Is to be shaken off they must them selves stimulate the Influences which are necessary, the three great conventions of the year are to be held In the South, and at a time when we shall begin to realise.

James Richardson, of Cincinnati, has made himself conspicuous by reason of his ability to cause a laugh wherever he happens to be. Richardson scaled Pike's Feak (on the cog road), and is trying to make everybody think he walked the nine miles from Manltou in five hours. The record is little under the rate he claims. Hughes admits he rode the eoga to the top of the peak, and that he was "monstrously sick" all the way down.

Each state may have its Grand Lodge, which will elect representatives to make up that Supreme Lodge, and the various states may have much more power than they now hold, but all-that Is still to be determined.

i OBJECT LESSON IN BANKING. BecentV Policy of Imperial Bank of Germany Worthy of Attention. I Wall Street Journal. An object lesson In the control of the banking situation by a central authority is afforded to the Incoming Federal r. serve Board.

by the recent policy 0f the Governor of the Imperial Bank of Germany. It ia hardly probable that an American official body could g0 so flr ln laying down a comprehensive poiiey for the big joint stock banks and making them -hew to the llneJ In one respectt hoirtvtr, the German problem is asir than it woukl be In the United Stats, by reason'of the limited number of Inati tutions to be dealt with, as agajngt the 7.500 national banks which constitute the Federal reserve system. About six years ago Herr roa Hsven-stein succeeded Ir. Koch as Governor of the Imperial Bank. Almost from the first he set himself the task of making ths assets of the entire German banking system more liquid than in the past and strengthening its reserves.

"With the sup. port of Emperor 'William he build, inf up tb fold reserve of the, imperial Bank itself by maintaining continuously a high' rate' of discount, outbidding competitors in the London market for gold and discouraging anything- calculated to take gold out of Germany. Incident to this policy he continued and expanded the policy of Dt. Koch in accumulating a large stock of foreign gold bills when exchange was favorable, order to throw them on the market later, when high rates of exchange might threaten gold exports. Recently he has turned his attention to the joint stock banks and has demanded obligations, either in German legal tender money or on deposit with the Imperial Bank.

The policy of the central banks of Eu rope In making themselves the reservoirs of. gold and reserve credit for the entire banking- community Is not likely to be abandoned, either In Germany. France or England. But it is significant that the enormous expansion of the liabilities of the other banks has presented a definite alternative either that the central bank should accumulate a reserve based upon the entire banking liabilities of the country, and not merely upon its own note and deposit or that the joint stock banks should themselves co-operate In maintaining adequate funds of gold, foreign bills and other assets quickly and certainly convertible into cash. AH these phenomena tend to emphasize the fact that the magnitude of international obligations has passed the stage where reliance can be placed upon the old lalsser faire policy of private initiative to maintain the equilibrium of the exchanges.

The United States has provided, none too soon, a mechanism of centralised banking for the protection of Its own exchanges, which may have "important functions cast upon it in the next great crisis of International finance, induced by the uncertainties of war or the abuse of credit. DANGER HT NEW HOUSES. Republican. New houses are constantly offered for rent in large numbers in the United States and real estate agents are naturally anxious to fill the houses on their lists with tenants as soon as possible. Probably a little investigation would show the desirability in this country of requiring a certificate that a new house will not endanger the health of Its occupants before families are allowed'to move Into Such municipal regulations are proving valuable in England.

Toward the Close of '1912 the -Portsmouth (Eng land) corporation decided, that thereafter no new building intended ror numan notation ln that borough should be occupied until it had been certified as sanitary in every respect. A. Mearns Fraser says: "The principal evil that it will prevent is the occupation of houses before they have had time to dry." He adds: "I would far sooner live in a house with defective drainage than in a damp hous; the results from the latter are more insidious in their onset and more difficult to overcome. Dunpncu undoubtedly greatly favors the incidence of consumption, bronchitis, rheumatism, heart disease and diphtheria. Probably children are more susceptible to the 111 effects of damp houses than adults." GOSSIP FROM THE PROVINCES.
