L1c.-The action Of the various
Savings BaaEsin the country, III
claiming time for the payment of
deposits, should occasion no unea-
siness, It is a precautionary meas
ure which has been made necessary
by the present unsettled condition
of affairs, and which is designed
to protect the Banks from the sac
rifcc Of their securities, and which
would be ruinous to their best i'll
terests. It is not expected that
these Banks should keep their
money locked upin their vaults, and
it is only by investing it that they
are enabled to pay interest to de-
positors, and meet current expenses.
The money is. lent on time and
cannot be recalled at once, to meet
a sudden panic. Hence the ueces-
sity of insisting upon the notice
which the rules Of the Bank re-
quire. All Of the Savings Banks
of the South, are said to have am
pie securities, which will soon en-
able them to meet promptly and
satisfactorily all liabilities. Depos-
itors then have no occasion for
uncasincss. There has been very
little apprehension in Charleston
and Columbia, and it will be soon
entirely relieved,

whom they catail enormous expense:
as we'll rs being an obstacle in the
progress Of Western civilization. 1t
costs moro to keep the Indians in
idlenrss than to cultivate all the ara
bc lands of California; whilst each
Indian who is slain in war costs the
Government ten thousand dollars.
What is tho remedy? The writer
says let every Indian be disarmcd and
compelled to keep the peace, and LET
the whole power Of the Government
be directed to breaking up the pres
cnt tribal system; let the supremacy
Of law take the place of Indian Gus
toms, and murder and rebellion be
severely punished. Let the liquor
dealer be banishcd, lit homestead
be guaranteed, let common schools be
established, and It will be seen that
the Indian is as capable Of being civ
ilized as any other people. This is
shown by their conduct in Kansas,
where they own lands in severalty'
and where the Industrious have grown
wealthy; by the present condition of
the Chippcwas, the British Indians,
and the Chcrokccs.
But before we civilzc we must sub.
due. "Thcro's the rub" The eXpe.
ricncc of the late Modoc war might
teach us some lessons. We have less
doubt rs to our right to the Western
territory than as to onr policy of at
tempting to enforce it. 1t would be a
big job "to catch the TARTAR" and no
less one to take care of him.

Rates of Railroad Transportation.

The reccnt combination Of the
farmers of the West, in their Oranges
in determined war upon high freight
tariffs on railroads, has made the pro,
blem of railroad transportation, and
the varying rates exacted for it, one
of the important questions of the
day. The universal impression is
that the low prices of their grain
are owing to these high rates, but a
recent magazine writer has shown
that this is only one and perhaps the
least of three causes bringing about
this result - the other two be
ing tho distance of tho farms
from tho Atlantic coast, and
the tariff: The long transportation
of 1900 miles cats up the farmers
profits, whilst the oppressive tariff
framed for the benefit Of the manu-
facturcr, makes him pay two prices
for every article ho consumes. The
farmer has however directed against
the railroad more than a due share
of the fury evoked BY his grievances,
and has attempted to regulate by
Legislative interference that which is
incapable Of being so regulated
which presents Gordian knot of
incxtricablc difficulty. Railroads are
compelled to make rates for one class
of goods and business, which they
cannot make for all. Charges on
through freight arc proportionally
not more than one-third the rates
charged Oh way traffic, aud goods
going one way arc often charged only
one-half the rates Of goods going the
other way. The reason for tho diff:
ference is that through freight has to
be taken at the lowest paying rates
or not taken at all, and this enables
the road to lower the rates Of way
traffic, and tha. on many roads tho
bulk Of traffic being one way, rather
than bring back tho cars empty
freight is taken for the return trip at
almost any price. The State Of H.
linois has some 1923 miles Of rail
road within her borders, has made
the greatest outcry against railroad
charges, and has led the war upon
the railroads. The late law which
went into effect in July, has already
proved impracticable and it is said
will do moro injury to the people
than the excessive charges against
which it was directed. Legislation
has everywhere proved unavailing to
check usurous rates of interest, and
we suppose that it will not be more
effective when it seeks to regulate
the ficights upon railroads. Here
Us in other industrial interests, com,
petition and self interest must deal
with the question.

TIE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE, rep
resenting every Protestant country
in England aud America, met in New
York, on Friday last.
After singing tho doxo!osy, prayer
was offered by Rev. DR.. Hodge, OF
Princeton. Rev. Dr.. Rigg, Of Lon
don, next read a portion of the sew
cnteenth chapter of St. John; after
which, there was prayer by Rev
Mateo Prochet, of Italy; followed by
tho Dean OF Canterbury, with the
creed. The entire conference rose
and sang with one voice, the evangrl-
ical hymn, "Coronation.' The busi,
ness Of cffecting a permanent organi,
cation was theu taken up, and list
of officers read and adopted. Dr..
Theodore D. Woolsey of New Haven,
was appointed President, and DR.. S
}. Prime, General Secretary. Among
tho Vicc-Prcsidcnts were William +.
Havcmcycr, Lord Alfred Churchill, of

his address.
The Alliance was organized at Lon
don. in August, 1916, bya convention
Of eight hundred divincs and laymen,
including members of over fifty
Evangelical sccts. The society then
formed is not in any sense an ecclesi-
aslical body. 1t is purely voluntary
assembase of Evangelical Christians,

ny Of their ..,.th AID practice.

not ask you to sell your cotton at q
sacrifice, but simply to place it in our
hands for shipment, so thot we can
feel assured Of having something
from which at the proper time we can
realize the amount Of your indebted.
