/ A SIMPLE method Of guarding against
LOSSES by the robbery Of coupon bonds
is to cut the entire sheet Of coupons of
and place it in one depository, while the
body of the bond is kept in another.
The bond without the coupons being
unstable, and the coupons being col
lectable only one by one as they ma
ture, the thief who fails to secure both
gains comparatively little by his crime,
while the true owner, by proving title
to the part which remains in his possess
sion, has good ground for demanding
from the company issuing the security
a duplicate OF the other. The plan is
followed by numbers Of capitalists all
ready, and, II we have many more such
robberies as that Of the Northampton
Bank, it win probably be still more
generally adopted.

By the terms of the will of the late
Joshua Sears of Boston, the final dispo-
sition of the estate was left in uncer-
tainty. The SON, j. M. Sears, now in
the junior class in Yale, was given $780,
600 on coming Of age last Christmas,
and is to have an income of 94,OOO an
nually until he reaches twenty-five,
q, 900 for the next i've years, and there
after &c. 900. The annual income OF
the estate is at present at least twenty
i've times this amount and increasing
probably . quarter OF . million year.
The viii does not specify what is to be
done with the surplus income, nor is it
anywhere provided that the con shall
come into full possession. To settle all the
complicated questions involved, the
young man, by the advice and consent Of
the trustees Of the estate, has brought
suit before the Supreme Court OF
Massachusetts,, requesting that all that
portion of the estate which is not re-
quired to carry out the trusts declared
in the will be at once turned over to
him as entitled to the the same as heir
at-law.

The closing of the doors of two small
banks in this city, and the rather uncer-
tain prospect the depositors have of get
ting their money, strengthen the argu-
ments we have frequently made in re-
gard to the necessity of further protec-
ton of the public against this species of
financial disaster. While it must be
evident to every man of ordinary intel
ligence and experience that all banks
should be under a much more careful
and rigorous supervision than they now
have, yet there is an imperative and inn
mediate necessity for such supervision
of those smaller institutions in which
the working classes deposit their earn
ings. A merchant or capitalist has the
means and the opportunity for acquir-
information concerning the bank with
which he proposes to do business. He
knows, or may know, whether the pres
ident or cashier are honest and ccmpe-
tent; whether the directors are sensible
and discreet; what has been the pre-
vious history of the bank, and what is
its present standing. But what do the
day laborer, the mechanic, the sewing
girl, the servant and the widow know
about the establishment to which they
c0nfide their scanty fundsp What can
they know? Nothing, except that the
sign over the entrance glitters with
gold leaf, that the windows are of
French plate, the counters handsomely
carved and polished, and the door of
the safe elaborately adorned with gild-
ing and fantastic paint. The officers,
they hear, are clever fellows, and the
rate of interest seems satisfactory, and
so they place their cash where there is
not the shadow of absolute assurance
of its security. Stripped of all disguise
it is nothing but a huge confidence
game, in which all the advantages are
on the side of the persons who hold the
stakes. It may turn out well and it
may not, and that is all that can be said
about it. How often so-called s'savings
banks'' prove to be mere swindling
shops we need not say, nor is it neces-
sary to dwell upon the distress which
is the inevitable result of such cOllapses
as have been witnessed in St. Louis and
elsewhere during the past five years.
We are aware that it is exceedingly
difficult to inventa remedy for this evil,
yet a-remedy is not impossible, and the
sooner it is sought the sooner it will be
found. State Legislatures should take
hold of the matter at once and in earn
est, and see what can be done. Mean
while, if few defaulting bank officials
were sent to the penitentiary it would
have a very healthy effect. .-St. Louis
Republican.

accept gold as the standard of values
we are not likely to find any that will
answer a better purpose.
If we would change the standard, we
must sever commerce with other ma
tions or induce them to act in concert
in adopting another, for wherever there
is commerce there must be common
standard of values. If the government
can furnish currency III which the
people will have SO much confidence
that it will bring gold at par, then it
will he as good medium whether it
be made directly redeemable i'll gold or
not. but so long as we hold commercial
relations with the nations of the world
upon a gold basis, it must be the CON
fidence in its convertibility into gold
that will give it par value Herewith.
n legal tender government note, eN-
changeable for government bonds, paya-
BILE in gold, or currency, would be
worth the same dollar for dollar, as the
bonds, and all would alike derive their
value from the confidence i'll their
ultimate redemption or convertibility

IudiciaI Investigation

The exposure by the indianapolis
Journal of the extravagant personal ex-
pendItures of the judges of the Supreme
court, candidates for reelection on the
Democratic ticket, has produced such
a fluttering among their party friends
as was never seen before. Some of the
party journals demand that they shall
answer and refute the charges OF get
off the ticket. But this show of virtue
is too late in expression. Many of the
delegates to the Democratic State con-
vention, knew that the judges had
spent IN four years S63, 900 which they
charged to the state, most of which
was purely personal, and which should
have been paid by themselves. There
were charges for rugs at S15 each, for
gold pens at IS each, for carpets and
furniture, for washing and for person.
al attendance by laundress and janitor
to an extent that is astounding. These
things were known before the judges
were renominated, but it was the pur-
pose of the party to keep this extrava-
CANT and inexcusable corruption con-
cealed. Now that it is exposed, a show
of sham virtue is made, and the judges
are told by some of the party organs
that they must refute the charges, or
never more be candidates of ours. But
the charges cannot be refuted. They
are matters of record, and must stand
against them, and against the party
which re-nominated them, and thus
gpve this corruption their endorse
ment.

We are willing, yea anxious, to
have the different wings of the great
Democratic party do justice to each
other. even though in so doing they
should tell unpleasant bits OF politi-
cal history. We shall not voUch for
the truthfulness of every statement,
nor shall we pretend to sympathise
with them in their feelings of hatred
or exultation. We shall merely
chronicle events. The following,
which was handed to US for publica-
ton, fairly represents the feelings of
the exulting portion Of the party:
