on the part of NJ. A. Dauphin and the New

have been addrested To you by the postmaster
general in pursuance Of statutes Of the United

Ignorant and credulous. This bank cannot be

This order Will b. revoked whenever the bank

act in refusing the privileges of theimail
to the Louisiana lottery company. When
it became known that the New Orleans
National bank was aiding and abetting
the lottery company in business so
vicious and immoral, Mr.. Gresham
very promptly issued an order to the
postmaster at New Orleans, directing
him not to deliver registered letters nor
money orders to the bank. a bank has
no right to lend its name and influence

The new postal note seems to be get
ting more scoIding than it deserves.
The fact that Chicago banks have re-
fused to accept it does not necessarily
end the matter That is, to be sure, a
portentous circumstance, seeing that it
is Chicago: but the sky has not fallen yet.
Several suggestions have been made
since the appearance of the notes,
which will, no doubt, guide the officials
in making future issues. The paper
should undoubtedly be one of the social
papers which cannot be manipulated by
counterfeiters and forgers. 1t seems
also useless tax upon the payee to re-
quire him to sign his rame, when the
note is payable to "bearer." But these
are details which can be adjusted in
future issues. Querulous critics must
not overlook the nature of these small
money-orders. They do not afford the
same degree of security as the regular
money-orders, and il was universally
understood at the time they were au-
thorized that they would not do so.
They are designed solely to facilitate
the transmission of small sums, and
large class in the community would
find them useful even if all the banks
should refuse 10 take them, which they
do not do. Lastly, when the grains of
the forger or counterfeiter are limited
to something less than "a 80 on each
order, IL seems safe to predict that the
amount Of fraud under this head will
not be great N. Y. Tribune.
