The act Of re::I;ica:iOn by Il bank THAT Il

the check has lands III The bank sufficient
to pay il. has by lon. Usage been considered
to bind the bank n In" SIM" manner as the

the commercial comm unity OF one of the
most convenient ana safest methods of dis
cllaryin. obligations The usage il itself
peculiarly American IN rs origin. although
x. believe It's :rr.! convenience. has lately
caused it to NC introduced i'll England.
When i check is S.nted to il bank for
c-r:iiicatiun ard certified. the bank be-
comes the principal debtor and the holder of
III. check must lock ~ the bank for pay.
mcn..
Ii the bank fail after the ccrtiir,fion.
ami could have. paid at the time the check
WAS presented for that purpose, the holder
OF the check will have no recourse against
the drawer CT any prior indor>'rs. The ra-
son of this is that he had il III his power to
collect the check but having elected TO = I'VE
IL new credit to the bank, he discharges the
drawer and indorScr> from further liability.
After the passage OF til" act creating ma
tijntl banks, the question was raised as to
the power of cashiers of those institutions
to bind the bank by their certitication. 1t
was argued that the power :" make such !;
contract for the bank is not conferred upon
that officer by law, and that such power be-
in. no part of his duty, the exercise of it in
a case where the bank did not have funds
of the drawer of check in is hands did
not'bind the bank to pay.
The Supreme Court o1 the United States
in the case of Merchants National Bank o:
Boston versus State National Bank, has
just settled the law on the subject. The
court decides that a check may be accepted
like a bill OF exchange. and that by the
custom of merchants i'll this country, certl-
tcation of a check is equivalent 20 accept
ance and is an undertaking on behalf of
the bank that it will pay on demand. The
argument is as binding the circulating
notes of the bank. The power Of the
cashier to receive the money OF the depOsitor
ard pay it back comes Will, i, the power TO
certify checks, ana ali these powers are in
herent in the office.
This decision is of great importance to the
community, and to none mere than to the
national banks themselves. for if their Off
GERS have no power to certify checks, these
institutions are deprived OF the means Of
atfording to their customers the ordinary
convenience which is derived from keeping
a bank account.-Ncw I0rl Commercial

The Morgan Monopoly.

The san Antonio fIpress has this 70 say
about the Morgan monopoly:
Charlie. Morgan. whose rapaci'v and
greed have manifested themselves i'll times
past, in connection with his steamship linz.
has at last reached the bounds prescribed
by human patience. and hereafter will find
himself forced to pay some consideration 10
the wants. necessities and rights of the pub-
lie or else see IA rival company hearing Oft
the hard dollars that Ia his ears have had
50 pleasant IA sound. The merchants of
New Orleans and Galveston have taken
the initlatory. and a fine vessel. the kel>o
is now running between the two points in
opposition to the Morgan line. and a few
weeks will find two others in the trade.
Morgan. with all the arrogance OF :: mo-
nopoli>t. has adopted rctaliat"ry measures.
in the shape OF charging those who patron
izc the other lin" tbut who find one steamer
not enough l'nr the scryicc) double freight
rates on all shipments which necessity
forces them to make 10y his line.
We shall not 60 into the merits Of the
case. but lay the I,cts before the merchant,
OF West Texas. leaving them to judge how
worthy and deserving of patronage a man
IS whose mental calibrc will allow iIiu t."
stoop to such petty spite.
Now the teeth of this monopoliS. can h-
drawn. and the arrogant old gentleman zen
ltltt HdIUEt-S. IL our people VIII 'ii' go
as a unit in trowning down his attempts I"
crush the exposition line that has been
started.
The traffic and trade between .hr Cre.-
cent City and Texas are sufficiently lar."
to warrant the employ of half dozen
steamers. and the success OF another line
can be secured. if our people will but be-
stow upon them u reasonable share of pat
ronage.
Heretofore Morgan has aiwsvs. by lower
ing hi. rates. and losing Il few thousands
for the while. succeeded in wardin. Oft OPP
position. but the people have been too often
caught in THAT trap t" now be- longer
fooled. As soon As opposition ceased. Nor
gan would increase his rates to cXorbitant
proportions. and in his cNtortion, make up
the losses sustained in rilnnin. down his
rivals. Let every merchant OF West Texas
instruct his shipping agent to us" the YES
sells Of the Morgan opposition line 50 Ion.
~ the rates are within reasonable bounds.
BY this means Morgan will be brought to
t;,w and rendered scn>ibi" that he does not
quite own the entire State of Texas.
