to young man, "Hoar's committee is

Reform the Bank Presidents.

The proposition to start a society for
the reformation of bank presidents is
made by the Newark ErcHiHg NeCS,
and ii is a move in the right direction.
The whole tendency of modern phi
Rnthropy has been to eXpend itself on
the unimportant and insignificant, es
pecially in its reformatory measures.
If some portion Of the organized
force employed to keep flower girls
from selling yiolcts on Sunday morn
inc were directed to the pIucking of
an occasional heavy fnancicr as a
brand from the burning, we might be
said to be getting our philanthropy to
work at the roots of a national evil, in
stead of expen4ing it in picking off
here and there an occasional bud of
imprOpriety.
4 great deal might be done if the
stream of current honesty and intelli-
gence could be directed into the neg
lected domain of Wall street. Our
bank presidents need to be wrestled
with atlectionately and patiently.
They have got to be taught the very

valuable lesson that it is measureably
rs wrong to steal a million as it is to
steal n loaf of bread or set of spoons.
Our spectators need the moral lesson
brought home to them that. when
properly viewed, it is as infamous to
rob depositors and to ruin investors rs
it is to break into ones neighbours
house and take his pocket-book.
They do not possess a clear idea of
these things. And how can they when
all the reformatory influences and
agencies of society are SO constantly
directed to the awakening and saving
of mere flower-girls and murderersP
Certainly, bank presidents, great fin
anciers and eminent stock-gamblers
are worth saving, and there is some
thing shameful in the way our reform
ers have overlooked them. .-NcO Yorb

Grant Il BOggS.

The downfall of Grant ~ Ward, of
New York, recalls to some old citizens
of vigorous memories the collapse of
Grant IL Boggs. of st. Louis. That
latter business catastrophe came after
the failure in farming. Grant, after
throwing up his commission in the
army, while serving in Oregon, came
on to st. Louis. and there was an un-
derstanding between his father and his
wife father that he was To be set up

This was the start in life Grant got as
farmer. Left to his own develop
mcnt of agricultural tastes, he took
to hauling in wood and selling it. 1t
was when thc farming experiment had
proven failure and Grant had been
refused the appointment of surveyor,
for which he made application TO the
county court, that he moved TO the

brokerage business. The firm was

was a relative OF GOV. Boggs and also
connected with the Dent family.
They opened an Office on Pine, just

put into their hands. Capt. Frank
McGarrahan and other old real estate
men remember the firm from attempts
at transactions with them and from
the utter lack of ideas ON business mat

the purchase of Job office which had
been put IN the firms hands TO sell.
He found the senior partner not al the

Suggestions to Independent Voters.

In an article on "The Use and Abuse
of PARTIES in the June century, the
Rev. DIR. Washington GLADDEN. in con
clusion says of parties: What, then, is
the duty of intelligent and patriotic
men respecting them? TO this ques-
ton various answers are given.
Il. Keep out of political life. 1t is
hopelessly corrupt. You can do moth
ing to purify it. Let it alone.
This is the argument of despair,
lightly urged by many frivolous and
faithless souls, but not to be enter
tanned by any patriot.
~. Vote always, but belong to no
party. Join the unorganized mob of
Independents; take your place on what
Mr.. Charles Francis Adams, Jr., calls
the center of the tilting- board, and
put your votes in every election where
they will do the most good voting al
ways for the best men, or, at any rate,
against the worst rascals.
"This is a comfortable way of doing
political duty; the practical difficulty
is il determining which rascal is the
worse. Both are sometimes SO bad
that it is hard to choose.
%. Maintain a loose relation to one
party or the other. but take no part i'm
the primary meetings, and bolt when
they offer You bad candidates or bad
measures. The theory is that in this
tcmi-attached condition you will in
fluence somewhat the nominations;
that the party managers viii be think
inc of YOU when they make up the
ticket.
This, too, is apt to leave the voter
simply a choice of too evils. The gen
tlemen left by YOU in charge of the
primary meetings are not sure to think
of you, and if they do, they console
themselves with the reflection that the
other fellows will probably nominate ;
worse man than theirs.
II. Join one party or the other
Go into the caucuses, if YOU can get in
Take your pluck and your independ
nencc along with YOU. Tell the gen
tlemen in charge that you are inter
ested in the success of the party, anC
that YOU want to help keep it in a shap,
! in which it will deserve to succeed
Give them distinctly to undcrstan,
that while YOU ask nothing for your
! self, YOU intend to take hand IN snap
ING the party policy and in making tn
nominations; and that You will b.
guided in all this by supreme regarC
for national interests rather than per
sonal interests. If. i'm spite of you
protests, they make bad nominations
bolt the nominations, and return to tn
charge the next time, taking with yo
as many rs you can of your well-intcu
toned neighbors If you preserv
your temper, and use reason, and kee
standing up for men and things tina
are honest and of good report, pcraC
venture they will listen to you Il
length, and you may succeed in lftin
up the standards and in purifying part
management.
This last method appears to me b
far the wiscSt one.
