THE BURST BOSTON BANK.
AN Interview with Comptroller Knox
in Reference Thereto.


Comptroller Knox has made a statement in
regard to the failure Of the Pacific National
bank of Boston, the attemptt to reorganize the
bank, and the adverse criticisms upon his
eoffcial action in connection with the matter
After citing statistics of tho bank, he says
that everything referring to tho matter had
been published in connection with the suit
brought by the receiver in behalf of the
stockholders and depositors against the
directors for mismanagement and neglect
of duties. The shareholders are aggrieved
because they paid in 100000 of additional
stock on assessments made by board
elected by themselves. Subsequently they
elected new board, and many of them paid
another assessment of 100 per cent. in &C.
cordance with the order of the board. The
comptroller certified to the exact amount of
capital stock actually paid up as he was in
formed. Notwithstanding the payment of
this amount the assets of the bank proved
nea rly worthless and the losses large, and
the comptroller was obliged to appoint re-.
ceiver, and having appointed the receiver he
was obliged to make assessments on the share
holders for the full amount of liability, equal
to 81 100000. Whether they shall DO COM
PEELED to p ay rests with the courts to decide.

Corners Germany contributed 96,253; England
and Wales, 4O,142; Canada, 36,sss; Ireland,
2O,95O, and Sweden, 1916. The arrivals SO

Mr.. GEORGE G. GoRHAM, for several years
editorial writer on The NATIONAL REPUDLI-
CAN, has severed his connection with this
paper, having formed very advantageous
business alliance with the capitalists who
control the Drawbaugh telephone inventions
He enters upon his new labors at once, and
leaves Washington to-day for New York,
where he will hereafter reside. In Mr.. Cor
hams retirement journalism loses one of its
brightest lights. He is man Of great force,
honesas the day true as steel to his friends, and
in his convictions incorporating and firm
to the last degree. He is one of the most
forcible OF writers, and in social intercourse
genial and pleasant. We wish him the high
est measure of success in his new field.

PRINCE BISMARCK has it is reported,
directed the return to the German minister
at this point of the resolution of coincidence
on the death of Herr Lasker, with instruc-
tions to return it to tho house Of representa-
tives, which passed it. NoAmercan will fail
to experience tingle Of indignant shame
over this slap in the face. Yet it is not TO be
wondered at, 1t was tactless performance
to make Bismarck tho channel through
which to transmit a resolution that was by
implication condemnation of all his
public acts in reference to the in
ternal administration Of tho affairs
of the German empire An arrogant, inn
psrious believer in the divine right Of kings,
and a hearty hater of free institutions the
Iron Prince is not the man TO submit tamely
10 ofiicious foreign laudation Of one who
he regarded as his enemy in matters of public
nolicy. When that action took such form, as
it did in this case, that he was required to
transmit 1t to the rechstag, it became to
him an aggravated personal insult, and
he filings IL contemptuously back in the
G.co of the house, as he might have been ex-
rected 10 do. For such humiliation as any
American may feel in the promises the house
of representatives should justly be hold re-
sponsiblc. IL it had confined its action to the
family of the deceased statesman no possible
objection could have been properly taken
bat had no business to so farther As 1t Is,
We are bound to grin aud bear it" Will
