subject to call, at per cent interest. The
banker keeps a reserve of 40 per cent. (not
too much) and loans 5000 at per cent, the
highest legal rate in this State. The deposit
remains a year, and is then withdrawn; the
depositor gets $40 interest, and if the loan be
paid the banker gets $4S interests net
profit-for which eighty cents on the $100
the banker assumes all the risks incident to
the custody and management of 81, 900 for one
year. The banker is not even a special part
ner; he does not share in the profits OF the
venture, but he guarantees his depositor
that there shall be no loss. This sort of
ing, and sooner or later brings trouble.
A small rate of interest might be allowed
between banks in different cities, because
prudent bankers keep large reserves con-
stantly on hand and in their varying de-
mands may mutually benefit each other.
This is most favorable opportunity for
our bankers to take a new departure and
make an agreement that they will not pay
interest on call deposits, and that they will
keep the same in good faith, and that they
will expel from the clearinghouse and refuse
the checks of any bank or banker that pays
interest on call deposits.
This course will be for the benefit of every
body, vastly safer for depositors and bank
ers and will make cheaper money in the
~.
ers and loaners, buyers and sellers, will be
benefited, and we will have no more broken
banks from that cause.

As to Postal Telegraphs.


Suppose before we rush headlong into this
postal telegraph business we first let the
best government on earth practice a few
thousand years longer on building navy.
And in running railroads. The postal tele-
graph would be grand good thing. no
doubt, but somehow, every time it goes into
a commercial deal, the best governm ent on
earth gets left. 1t is easy and much cheaper
not to 60 into the postal telegraph than it
would be to go into it and then try to get out
of it, Mind, if the government really wants
to buy up all the telegraph business and run
1t to suit itself, we will not forbid it. We
will permit the government to go ahead with
its experiment, but we rather think it had
better not add a telegraph Office to the BUSH
ness, until it gets the Navy Department fully

HONESTY and uprightness not such COM
mon virtues that they fail to attract attention
even when praeticed by the clergy The pastor
of Grace Church, in New York, has had the
wooden steeple of the building replaced by one
of stone, "because," he says, everything about
a church ought to be honest, and there is some
thing revolving IN a church editice that looks
like stone when 1t is wood" Another instance
of adherence to principle is that of a Methodist
minister, of Monticello, N. Y. who has refused to
accept donation of $50 offered by the young
people of the congregation, toward buying a
bell. The pastor says the church needs bell
but the money in question raised by holding
dancing parties, and he refuses to use it for
the purpose named. A rumpus in the church
has been the result Of this decision, and many
sarcastic newspapers are making merry at the
PASTORS expense, but these facts far from
being proof that he Is wrong. 1t is not the evil
OF dancing which should be discussed eonsid-
cred, this being subject which many good
people differ, but the little circumstance which
the critics seem to have overlooked, that the
amusement Is forbidden by the Methodist
Church. Dancing may not be wrong-it may
even be diversion to pious minds; the pastor
may be an old fOgy, but the fact remains that
while it is forbidden, and while there are many
of the same old fogies who believe that church
members should conform even to distastefu
rules, those who raise the funds, and not the
man who refuses to accept them, are the proper
subjects for criticism.
