and as the peacemaker the South bids him
welcome.
From the first days of his Administration,
President Hayes has proved by every public
act Of his affecting the reconstructed States
that his chief desire was to obliterate the
traces of the war, destroy all relics of the old
hostile feeling, and put a complete and final
stop to the wrangling of 1.-the belligerent non
combatants." 1t needed however the In
fuence of his personal presence, and his frank
and manly words in unembarrassed social IN
tercourse to convince the South how sincere
and strong this purpose was. and how free rom
the alloy Of selfish thoughts and partisan cal
culations Seeing what the Presidents and what
he means, the South comes out TO meet HIM Win
reioicings and in the cheers that ring through
the streets of the Georgia capital, the whole
country recognizes the celebration of new
Union. The troubles Of the South the persist
ence in certain sections of n sullen, bitter ana
revengeful spirit, the morbid cherisllng OF the
Lost Cause, even the injustice to the colored
people, can be traced in great measure TO
sentimental causes. Substantial grievances
have been removed nothing seems to be want
ing except a little healthy stimulating ana
clearing of the Imagination, little more cheer
fulness, confidence and courage; and 1t Is pre-
cisely these things which the visit OF President
HAYES is supplying

A President of the United States runs a great
risl, when he makes speech. There is al
WAYS reporter at his side, with pencil more or
less ready, and the echo OF his words has hardly
died away before the telegraph wires carry
them to the fmthest end of the country.
Every hating utterance and imprudent
little phrase is set down with cruel fdcl-
itv. TO be picked to pieces next day by sus-
picious or nlriendly critics, twisted ont Of its
proper meaning perhaps, and 50 def0rmcd that
its owner would not know il if it were not
labelled with his name. When it comes to the
delivery Of whole series Of speeches, stretched
over period Of two or three weeks
and spoken under all manner of unfavorable
circumstances, from car platforms. hotel bal
comics and stands at mass-meetngs, at un-
seasonabe hours of the night and morning,
and when the harassed speaker is suffering
for rest for food and for quiet, the peril is
multiplied a thousand field. Hitherto the tours
of Presidents have not often afforded the
country much satisfaction, or been OF any
particular service to the ruling party. When
the lights were burned ont, the crowds scat
tered the music and hurrahs forgotten, there
was little in the record Of the celebrations to
which anybody could look back with pleasure.
But the tour of President Hayes is a remark
able exception to the general rule. Either he
has been particularly sensible or particularly
fortunate. OF course, his little addresses are
not all equally good, but they are al apprOpn-
ate 20 the occasion, and it is evident that they
never fail TO produce an agreeable impression,
and TO leave behind them good feeling and
kindly impulses. The President endeared him
self to many doubling members of his own
marty by his visit 10 New-England. lie has
done something much more important than that
bv his visit to the South. Gov Colqutt, in
bidding him welcome the other night in
Atlanta, aptly stated the significance Of
the hearty demonstrations which everywhere
greet HIM. "Mos. PROMINENT in our minds"
said he, "higher, greater than every other dis
.'tinelion, is the character which You illustrate
as the peacemaker between brethren es-
tranged 1t is enough to Gil the measure of
"the loftiest ambition to remove fear and
suspense from the hearts of twelve millions
of people, your fellow-citizens, and restore
TO them sense of repose and security under
q" your Administration The most enthusiast
tic applause from the listening multitude inter
rupted and followed these words, and nobody
can doubt that the Governor expressed just
what was in the popular mind 1t is as the
peacemaker that Mr. Hayes visits the South.

The recent failures OF savings banks nave
given new texts to the opponents of those in
situations. As yet the opposition can scarcely
be called formidable, but it already embraces
sufficient number Of thinking people TO be
well worthy of attention. The opponents are
of two classes those who would substitute
postal savings banks, managed by the Govern
ment, for the present ones and those who
would abolish all savings banks The postal
scheme has been fully considered in these coli
umns. The objections to it are of the most
serious character. Our civil service is very far
vet from standard of purity which would
Justify the placing of petty trust funds with
Government employees. The scheme, if adopted,
would introduce a new and bad element in
partisan politics. The available capital for in
vestment in bond and m0rtgage-never excess
siye and rarely sufficient for the needs of grow
ng cities-w0uld be greatly diminished. The
frauds on the Pension Bureau are estimated at
millions of dollars; an equally weghty record
of deceit might be fairly expected after postal
banks had been in existence for decade.
The opponents who think that saving banks
ought to be abolished altogether, have spec
ious argument. They say that such banks do
more harm than good because they deprive
their depositors of the needful lessons of ex-
perlence. If, they say, you take the money of
these people and put it out at interest for
them. they will never learn how to invest
money to advantage for themselves. Even if
they accumulate a small sum in the savings
bank, the chances are that when at last they
withdraw it, they will invest il foolishly. II
there were no savings banks, these directors
say, there would be a demand for a class of in
vestments that now finds no favor City, and
town, and even railroad and Government
bonds would then be issued in small certf-
Gates, perhaps as low as five dollars each; and
would find easy sale. OF course, some disas-
trous enterprises would be floated by such
means, but the lesson TO the unfortunate in
vest0rs would be worth its cost.
This argument against savings banks does
not meet one Of the most important points
that can be urged in favor of them-the fact
that they encourage savings by inducing their
depositors to put aside fixed sums per week.
II is a well known fact that this practice lays
the foundation for most of the deposits, and
il is heartily and very properly encouraged by
savings bank managers. On the other hand,
a needless withdrawal of deposits is discour-
aged and this also is of service by preventing
the waste Of savings But putting these con-

siderations aside. the question comes up how
would the money be invested if there were no
savings banks7 A story is told in connection
with the Clairmont failure, which seems to be
apropos. There was coal company started
in a New-Jersey town, a few years ago, which
drew its resources from similar class OF IN
vestors; from people who had very little
money to spare. Subscribers to the stock were
10 receive coal at cost from the company $
mines. The stock was sold in small sums, and
many persons put all their savings into this
promising investment. Nobody ever got back
a dollar. The enterprising protector OF the
company left the town after the failure OF the
project, and his name is now brought to mind
by the revelations in the management OF the
Clarmont Bank. Perhaps that bank may pay
thirty per cent; the coal investment is said to
have paid nothing. In view of such possibilities
as that of the coal company, it certainly seems
as though, if savings banks are abolished,
the process of educating people IN making
their own investments is likely to be very
costly experience.

THE GREAT PHIL4DELPHLA FRAUD.

THE GREAT PHIL4DELPHIA FRAUD.
The business community is accustomed TO the
downfall of good reputation; but, now and
then, its confidence is so painfully abused, the
discreditable disclosure is so sudden and so
startling. thai everybody is astonished as Phil
adclphia was last Saturday. The standing OF
Mr.. John s. Morton, unless we are misin-
formed, was simply so high that nobody
questioned his integrity. He was President
of the West Philadelphia or Market Street
Passenger Railway Company, corporation the
shares of which have sold i'll the market
at three times their par value. These condS
tions-an honest President and a highly deslr-
able security-reDdercd fraud easy and story
of fraud we have. Mr.. Morton has ovenssued
one report saws, 10000 shares, valued at
81 coo, 900 anothersays 10000 shares, valued
at -, 100000. There is also said TO be a cash
deficit in the treasury of 100000.
We need hardly say how remarkably well
Mr.. Morton is behaving, now that all Is DIS
closed. Concealment being no longer posi-
ble the President is candor itself. Exposed
and disciaced, he Is pcnitcncc personi-
fed. lie submits to be interviewed y
with patient resignation, humby admitting
"has nothing to say in justification Of his
faction" lie is not, however, equally Teticent
of exteuuation. lie lays great stress upon the
fact that "he has not made n dollar for HIM
"self in the transactions' But the weakness
is the same. whether ne has committed this
crime for his own sake, or, out of an cXces-
siye good nature, for the sake Of Others.
If his own estimate is to be accepted,
he is strong enough now. Though his
friends have advised him to leave the city,
he will stay where he is, and take the cOnse-
qnenccs OF his own actions Il" / am no coward
Inc saws, brayely "moral or otherwise; and
"there need be no fear OF my committing sui
"cidc." We would not insult fallen man
but one naturally regrets That Mr.. M0rton's
fortituGe did not serve him when he was
tempted, instead ofcomng tardy to the front only
after be has snned and been found out Itseem5
odd to find him in one breath saying, I" the
report is onl, too true, and have nothing
" to say in justification of my action" and in
the next, " / AIN conscious OF no dishonesty in
my action" The ways of finance are very
mysterious.
We have here furtha& evidence, if it were
needed that the best which can be said in
extenuation of financial dishonesty amounts to
about nothing, and might better be left un-
said. A man who is detected in a fraud
naturally puts the best face possible upon it !;
but, after all, what are excuses worth
They cannot make white black. They
cannot alter the stern fact of dishonesty.
They cannot restore the public confidence in
good character. The mischief may not be
irreparabc, but the length aud the breadth of
it can in 10 wise be lessened by tears and
apologies,
