According to tho statement OF tho dofau1ter,
his carocr Of speculation has extended over five
yoars, which haa resulted in the cmbezzlcmopt
of over 9600,000. Tho stockholders in tho bank,
who had elected Directors to watch their inter-
osts, loso every dollar tloy invested. Tho do
postors, WHO roly at onco on tho clearinghouse
system and tho Government Examiner, will loao
80 per cont Of what they had intrubtod on tho
faith Of such protection. But tho severest blow
falls upon those who loft moneys and sccuri~
tics OIL special deposit, not do1ogating tho
right Of uBo in my manner, and who nov lavo
no moanB Ut avaiing themselves Of what ittlo
there is loft OF tho bank funds to the extent In
which thoy wonldbo proportionatloly represented.
Tho snm Of S1G2, 600 has boon stolen outright in
this way. There will bo loud cry for Justice
on tho head of Tainter, tho dofaulting Cashier,
which will 10 well founded. But the indignation
againRt him will not In this caso rolioyo those
who wore associated With him in the management
Of tho bueinoss aud those whoao duty it
was to watch from outside tho condition
Of tho banks, from soriouR responsibility
which, though 1t may not DO punished by I'M
prisonment, will DO followed by disgrace, and
will suggest tho necessity for some auror means
for protecting tho public interest from similar
cnsoa Of wrong-doing and neglect in tho future.
Tie cool de1iboraticn with which Taintor con-
tossed LIS guilt and exposed tho condition OF
things, Of which neither tho Bank Directors
Clearing House Committee nor Bank Examiner
Ind the slightest suspicion, Inns something Of n
STACEY character. It may be natural to tho
general lethargy in this country in
regard to crime Of al kinds which has
almost approved, and certainly tolerated, various
kinda Of public and private theft which aro
known by other names. Tho greed for wealth
which has lod public men, occupying some Of
the highest positions in tho nation, to take part
In gigantic swindles Of tho Government, to ap-
propriato tho peoples money In tho moat impu-
don't fashion. and to sot IN example Of diadain
to ovory disgrace which cannot bo roacllotl by
the law or punished In tho poul1ontiary,
has something to do with tho Causes
that 1od to Taintor's dofalcation. Bot I'LL thoso
things have boon still moro active agents in pro-
noting the spirit Of indifference and establish
ing the tono Of unconcern with which Tainter
moots tho situation. Perhaps no fools that ho
