cratic newspapers to assail the report with the
cry of "bloody shirt One thing is certain,
they cannot frame less inane answer. And
what is true of the Danville riot is true also OF
the Copiah riot, which is also treated OF. one
of the most interesting features of the report Is
the remedy which is suggested for the terrorism
and violence that are discussed. The Com
mittee call attention to the fact that the Constl-
tuition provides that when the right 70 vote Is
denied or abridged in any State the basis OF
representation shall be reduced. The applica-
ton of this remedy would be well calculated to
cure the disease.

HEHITTS RINK ELL.

Mr. Hewitt has introduced bill in the House,
providing that "no president, cashier, teller,
"dircctor or other officer of any National bank
" shall procure, for his own benefit or for the
"bencft of any copartnership, association or
"company of which he is a member any loan Of
"money from the bank of which he is an officer"
In case of a loss to the bank through such a
loan such officer shall be deemed guilty of en-
bcZZement of the sum so lost, and shall be
liable on conviction to Imprisonment from one
to five years, and fine equal to the sum en-
bezzled This seems to restrict the criminality
to cases in which loss to the bank occurs, and
ii may be doubted whether such provision
would secure the end aimed at. For while the
procuring of loans by bank officers is pro-
hbited, no penalty is attached TO the act save in
the event of loss accruing; and it is conceivable
that bank officers might dissipate the funds OF
the bank despite such a law, and when crash
came it might be too late to protect the deposl-
tors or even impossible to collect the fine from
the guilty party.
What is wanted is law which will protect
depositors and stockholders by preventing the
use of bank funds for private purposes by bank
officers and the only way to do that Is to make
the procuring of such loans punishable
offence, without regard to the outcome OF the
speculations in which they are employed. Mr..
Hewitt's bill appears aimed at punishment
rather than prevention, and this is its weakness.
1t would be poor satisfaction to the depositors
to have IN embezzer put in prison after he had
made away with the bank funds. What they
demand is such legislation as will make this
kind of malversatOn impossible Recent
events, moreover, have shown the danger of
allowing one or two heavy stockholders to run
banks Bank managers ought not to be large
stockholders. but employees chosen for their
knowledge Of the business, and intrusted with
no dangerous powers. In England the repre-
sentative power of bank stock is carefully
limited, and it is thus impossible for one man to
acquire a controlling influence i'll the bank dl-
rection. Such restriction is needed here, and
should be inserted in Mr.. Hewitt's bill, which
should also be amended so as to make the pro-
curing of loans by bank officers criminal from
the beginning. and which should also provide
against the covering up of such transactions Oh
the bank books.

weakest of the whole series of international
