THE CHANGED SURROUNDINGS or The
NATIONAL BANKS.

The merchants, manufacturers, legislators,
and journalists throughout the country will
find it more than ever to their advantage to
study into the National banks, and watch the
changes in the items of their assets and
liabilities The law, however scrupulously
obeved. now exacts no security for the cred
itors of the banks the nOteholders, OF course,
excepted. An enlightened public opinion must
be created, since it by no means exists, and
the banks must obey it. or else their destruc-
ton is inevitable. Already a blind hatred of
banks manifests itself in the West, and one
false step in the years Immediately to come
may produce incalculable damage both to the
banks and to the general welfare. We there
fore earnestly deprecate the opinion when
appears to be prevalent at the East, as well
as at the West, that the banks should freely
use the power which they have under the
pernicious compromise currency law, to lend
ont their reserves. Banks, being under the
direction of human beings, do and must con-
form to the popular will, and if the people
insist upon such banking as the country has
been subjected to in times gone by. they and
their creatures, the banks. must be prepared
10 take the consequences. we say TINS at
time of growing confidence, not to weaken
that confidence, or retard its growth, but that
tbe foundations on which the rising structure
is 70 rest may be made strong and enduring.
By the official return of the condition of the
National banks on the 26th of June, 1874,
which has just been given out, we are enabled
10 arrive at the following comparison of their
strength with that of June 13, 1873. The sig
nifcance of the comparison lies in the fact
that last wears statement preceded the panic
nv only three months, while this years may
he examined for light on the state of com
nercial credit and the effects of imitation In
time Of peace. 1t is also simultaneous with
the commencement of operations under the
compromise initiation bill fathered by Mr..
Dawes. The loans and discounts are $685.
195.070, against 1925, ,5j7632 in 1873. The plain
spoken advocates of cheap money such as
Senator Morton, insisted upon having the
currency further deprecated in order that
debtors might be assisted to pay up. But, as
il appears, the debtors have not paid up, so
far at least as concerns their indebtedness
to the banks. The active business of the
country is unqueshonaby transacted on a
smaller aggregate of discounts and loans than
II was q year ago. Therefore the increase of
loans is the more surprising. In France,
where a stiff contraction has been going on
for nearly a year, the loans and advances of
the Bank of France, which is properly sys-
TEN or union of National banks, having
branches in all the departments, have dimin-
New-York tribune., 1874-08-17
ODOROUS COMPARISONS.

Commissioner Stern's argument against the
further reduction of the expenses of the De-
partment of Charities and Correction is a more
interesting document to the general public
than the somewhat wearisOme subject would
indicate. In fact, there are some startling
statements of the comparative order, which
are Justly considered as offensive by the
heads of other departments, and which
will doubtless provoke some of the other city
officials to angry replies and counter attacks.
Mr.. Stern's argument contains very little which
will Justify any great increase of expenses IN
his department, but it certainly does show good
cause why those of others should come down.
His odous comparisons show, indeed, that the
most useless departments cost the most money.
While the attendants on the poor cost only
s46O a year, we are actually paying $4,000 a
wear for Aldermen and legal advisers, who, as
far as we can see by their legislation and liti-
cation, only serve to increase taxation.
There is much food for thought in this
report, and pending the preparation of the
annual estimates it seems a good time for the
public discussion of the problems involved
Some of the departments, we are satisfied, are
extravsgantly maintained and there are some
of the Bureaus which ought to be abolished

New-York tribune., 1874-08-17

Some time ago the publishers Of Webster's Die
tionary permitted themselves to be persuaded by
Mr.. Solomons, very respectable Hebrew bookseller
in Washington. to tamper with the text of their
great work by striking out one of tho definitions
given to the word Jew" explaining an opprobrious
sense in which that word had been used for CEN
turies in English literature. Next came request
in the interest of Catholics to cancel the opprobri
Gus sense in which the word "jesutical" has been
used nearly as long. By this time the publishers
seem to have got their eyes opened.
The business Of maker of definitions in
a dictionary is not to peoples feelings.
but to tell what words mean, and in what senses
they are used in literature and life. 1t is not their
fault that it has become English idiom to speak
of "jewing" down a tradesman. or that the word
"jesuitcal" has become nearly o synonym for
hypocrisy These are the facts and it is their busi
