1t is not surprising to be told that tho expert
ence Of the Philadelphia banks lie that those
which have paid out currency most freely have
had it most freely deposited with them. The
Ledger ssys:--
"At one or two places deposits were reported
IN excess OF the Payments out Of currency, and,
what is worthy Of note, those that received more
OF currency on deposit than they paid out on
ehecksWere those that paid out most literally. -
This is very apt to be the case it corresponds
exactly with the other features of panic times.
wherever bank appears weak, its depositors
are sure to rush upon it il it shows a bold
front, they are perfectly satisfied. When it re-
stricts payments on checks, people fear to put
their currency in its vaults, and when it hands
out freely, they are correspondingly at ease.

The Financial Outlook.

The depression in the New York stock market
Yesterday seems to have been due to the fact
that the banks were calling In their loans to
strengthen themselves for currency payments;
thus compelling the brokers to unload their
stock. The progress, however, towards the
normal, pre- panic condition of financial Affairs
il steady and satisfactory.
In Washington everything il encouraging.
The associated banks are paying out currency
freely. and the amount Of certified checks
turned in daily 10 merely nominal, being yester-
day only about 900. There is . great scarcity
of currency yet throughout the country, but
Washington city IL easier in this respect. proba-
bly,, than any other city, owing to the amount
put in circulation here by the government.
Business men complain Of a difficulty in max
ing collections, but that is not unusual at this
time OF the month.

recent decision OF the United States circuit
court for the eastern district of Pennsylvania
Is interesting as showing the liability OF num-
CAPABILITIES for errors of Judgment on the part OF
their sanitary authorities. A vessel bound to
Philadelphia WAS placed in quarantine for a
certain period by the board of health, anil was
disinfected in accordance with the rules of the
latter body. At the expiration Of the time the
vessel was restrained from coming into port for
some time, and her owners brought suit to re-
cover damages. y referee gave iud yment
against the city Of - ,2U0. and his dec sion was
affirmed by the court which held that while a
large discretion is entrusted to the board of
health in the administration of quarantine regu-
lations, the power is not 20 be used unadvis siy
or arbitrarily. 1t may be exercised under the
limitation that the public interest is to be
served; but where, alter every proper precau-
ton has oeen taken at quarantine, the time. for
the discharge OF the vessel arrives, she ought to
be released, and further detention is a wrong
for which the municipality should answer.

Rumor was busy in New York yesterday in
regard to mercantile failures, but so far from
being true, the Erpress says, the leading dry
goods houses report decided improvement in
their collections, and q feeling of more encour-
agement in their trade. While many of the
New York banks are receiving and paying out
heavily, the majority of the directors Of the
clearing house banks hesitate to break up the
arrangements by which the banks "poolp their
legal tender notes.

Telegraph De adbeaas.

The late report OF the president of the West
cTn Union Telegraph company contains this
significant and humiliating par sgraph:
''The franks issued to government officials
constitute nearly third of the total compli-
mentaTy business The wires of the Western
Union company extend into 81 states aud ter
Titories within the limits of the United States,
and into of the British Provinces In all of
them our property is more or less subject to the
action of the national, state, and municipal
authorities, and the judiciOus use of cOmpli-
mentaTy franks among them has been the
means of saving to the company many times
the mOney-value of the free service performed"
Commenting on this remarkable confession,
the New York Tribune very forcibly says;
SO This is sll right. we dare say, from Mr.. Or
tons point Of view; but what an illustration it
furnishes of the dead-head system. Govern
ment officials have il in their power to impair
the property of the company, and franks are
distributed among them to keep them quiet.
Now, are we TO understand that government Of
fcials are thus paid to let the company alone
when their duty is to interfere with it; or that
they are paid to abstain from veIatOus and I'M
warrantable proceedings which they would
probably Institnte II they were not paid? Is
the complimentary business OF the Western
Union the price OF official neglect of duty, or is
ii black mail -
The Tribune might have gone farther, and
asked, with equal pertinency, why franks over
the same line. are given to representatives. of
the press for the transmission of their private
business? Are journalists thus paid to let the
company alone, when their duty to the public
requires them to expose its inefficient service,
its extOrtlonste charges and its utter disregard
of the rights and interests of the people at
large? Newspapers have it in their power to
tell many ugly truths which would impair the
property of the company if published. Is the
complimentary business TO the press the price of
neglect of duty, or is it black mail? When Mr.
Orton takes the stand we suggest that he make
ola
dead-heading. Ii will be. as the late Mr.. Gree
ley remarked. mighty interesting reading.
