The Centennial Ranker.

The so-called building associations OF
Philadelphia have attracted considerable
attention of late. The system is, we be-
lieve, peculiar to that city. 1t certainly
has points of great excellence. The asso-
Citations are, in effect, savings banks, offer
ing safe investments to people of small
means, and not taxing them for the sup
port of expensive officials, high-priced
architecture, and costly vaults. There is
no banking house other than the dingy
little hail. hired for single evening once
a month. Here the stockholders meet and
pay in the sums by which they acquire
additional shares. The fund thus accumu-
lated is loaned on the spot to the customer
who can offer undoubted security and is
willing TO pay the highest premium for the
use Of the money. These premiums, again,
are put up at auction, and themselves
command premiums. The shares are,
therefore, constantly approaching at a
rate said to be very satisfactory TO the in
vestors. THIS is a system of cooperative
banking by which the smallest sums OF
money are made Immediately productive,
aud with no cumbrous machinery TO clip
the profits. Thousands of the pleasant
homes in and around Philadelphia have
thus been built with tho peoples money.
This praiseworthy institution must not
be COMPOUNDED with the Peoples Bank, of
which the notorious BILL KEMBLE is Presi-
dent and prime manager. His banking
business, although carried on with the peo-
pies money, is based on q totally different
principle. His deposits are not obtained
through any confidence placed by indi-
vidual depositors in his integrity and good
intentions.
Business men fight shy OF BILL KEMBLL
and his bank. If they are seen entering
the handsome doorway on Chestnut street
1t is merely to pass the compliments OF the
day with BILL kEMBLE, or to chat about
politics or the Continental Railway, or the
Centennial, ana not to trust their money
in his hands. They are all familiar with
the text OF the letter to TITAN j. CoFFEY.
They all know the Infamous nature of the
sentiments in that letter. Many Of them
would as soon think of taking their money
down TO the bank of the Delaware river
and throwing it overheard, rs of passing it
across BILL KEMBLE's counter.
How is 1t, then, that this man KEMBLn
| has eoptTived to acquire the control Of de-

on the strength of capital OF 100000. and
in community where he Is understood
too well to be trustedf It doesn't take a
very accom- nlishcd rascal to get hold of
other peoples money so long as he wears
the mask of decent honesty. But he is
pretty shrewd rascal who has the chance
after the mask has been once torn of his
face, and after he has written himself
down rogue. The s1,5OO,OOO or more on
the debtor side of BILL KENNELS books
entities him 10 DO called the Centennial
Banker.
This is the peoples money, for II is
money which the people OF Philadelphia
and Pennsylvania have paid into the city
and State treasures. How II cnmo TO be
put into BILL KEMBLE's hands 10 best
known to the ward politicians aud legisla-
tors of shaky conscience who acknowledge
as Boss this precious development of Cen
tennial civilization. How long IL will re-
main in his hands depends upon the dura-
ton of his political power, and the political
power OF the Pennsylvania Ring.
Bull KEMBLE's Peoples Bank differs In
another respect from the peoples banks
to which we have referred. They guard
the interests of their shareholders by lend
ing only upon unquestionable security.
BILL KEMBLE lends out the public funds
upon second mortgages, fraudulent stock,
and forged notes. In this style Of invest
ment the Centennial Banker excels, and
20 such degree that II is said that for
every dollar OF the banks capital he can
show three dollars upon the face Of pro-
tested and worthless PAPER
We have seen report that Messrs. MAO
KAY, FAIR, FLOOD, and O'BRIEN, the Ne
vada bonanza kings, intend TO build some
where upon the Centennial grounds pile
OF silver bricks to the value OF ten mil
lion dollars. We trust that this report Is
true, for such a monument of bullion
would be one of tho most interesting fea-
lures Of the exhibition. Yet still more
instructive spectacle would be this BILL
KEMDLE, securely Gagged, with his slOO, 900
Of capital in one hand, and his 81 800 900 Of
the peoples money in the other, his hat
crammed full of protested paper, and his
impudenoe towering above everyt thing
else on the grounds.
There are great many people who
would like to inspect the man who knows
how to add with rapidity, divide with
alacrity, and then keep n silence which is
sometimes really oppressive.

1t Is interesting to notice that Brother

first time, last Sunday, when he spoke with con-

his hearers that II they had any reality OF reli-
gion, II would show out in their lives. But he
went very much further In this direction, In his
sermon OF Monday large part OF which looked
as though II belonged TO The sun. He told his
hearers that they must be converted as FAC.

terrible thing for some Of them to be shown
what kind of fruits ZACCHEus brought forth
after his conversion. He was sure that not
man IN Jericho doubted the Renuiness of FAC

When ex-Queen ISABELLA OF Spain
reaches Madrid, she WILL OF course, be the CEN
tire OF intrigue and trouble. She is ambitious,
bold, and adroit, well versed In all the ways OF
Spanish politics, acquainted with most of the
men who are now in control II affairs, and on
very Intimate terms with some OF them. She
has the satisfaction OF seeing her son on the
throne from which she herself was driven six
years ago; but her presence In Madrid Is not
likely to add TO the security OF his position.
There is no doubt that the old military politi-
clans around the throne prefer him to her az
wearer OF the crown, for he Is but passive and
puerile tool In their hands, while she is awoman
who, as they know, can assert herself and take
her own way At times. we shall doubtless hear
OF the maneuvres OF the restless ex-Queen soon
after she returns to the scene OF her former
power In Madrid.

Lecture Qf the Rev. Vim. Waller. AUicdn Missionary.
We have lately had some very remarkable rev.
Citations of the condition OF the African tribes In
the populous and fertile valley OF the Congo,
through the explorations OF Lieut.. CAMERON,
the frst European who has ever crossed and
recoonoltred That portion OF the African conti-
nent, and travelled among Its people. II was a
magnificent region that he found few hundred
miles back from the western coast. 1t is sur
rrsine to read his accounts of the appearance
OF that country. OF Its agricultural development,
ana OF the numerous products OF its soil, as well
Of the industry OF the natives aud their WAYS
and customs. There ought to be an extensive
commerce with that part OF the world, which Is
able to furnish many products that can always
find a market. 1t IA strange that so little has
been done TO open 1t up by the residents In the
European settlements Of the western coast. 1t
seems to us that the thing most needed In the
valley of the Congo Ia an euterprisnG and intel
lectual press, which would bring its Importance
aud its interests before the world at large.

The efTrontery OF the Washington Ring
In charging to the United States the fees Of the
counsel employed to defend Boss SHEPHERD,
wnen the dolngs OF that noted plunderer were
undergoing Investigation seems to have at last
aroused the indignation Of Republican Senators
who have sufficient intelligence TO see what the
effect upon the people will he when the dis
graceful facts become generally known. Sena-
tor WADLEIGH OF New Hampshire on Wednes-
day very plainly expressed his belief that the
frauds committed In the District OF Columbia
had almost made the name OF the District in
famous among honest people In the country,
and unkindly referred to some OF President
GRANTS most intimate personal friends as
"theves." He doubtless expressed the sent-
ments Of every honest msn in Congress In his
unsparng denuncations Of the plunderers who,
under the direct encouragement OF President
GRANT, have been engaged In persistent and
successful raids upon the public reasury. The
facts are, as shown bv evidence now on record,
that the Board Of Audit has actually paid $l2 900
Of the public funds-or issued bonds to tn at
amount-to private counsel employed TO defend
Boss SHEPHERD. OF which sum 5000 was paid to
the notorious DICK HARRINGTON, the principal
actor IN what Senator WADLEIGH Justly charac.
terized as THAT diabolical safe burglary con-

1t is probably no less fortunate for Ply
mouth Church than for Mr. BOWEN that he
made his escape on Wednesday evening from
Assistant Pastor HALLrDAY's parlor as early as
be did. The Plymouth Church people showed
great violence and want OF self-oontrol In their
demeanor toward Mr.. MoULToN when he pre-
sented himself at their church meeting In Au-
gust, 1874, and It took three policemen to protect
him from the fury with which some over-zealous
members threatened him. Suppose that the
twenty or more partisans Of MIR. BEEcHsR, who
were evidently invited, on Wednesday, TO in
tmldate MIR. bowen, had provoked fray. There
were no policemen present, and Mr.. bowen
might have been eravely injured or had his life
taken IN the scuflle. The Plymouth people
should he grateful that they were relieved from
this danger by MIR. BOwENs flight.
