THE YUOUTU FE VER.

A dispatch from WIlkesbarre states that about
month ago 1.-The Plymouth fever made It's appear
ance in Sugar Notch small mining town, and
that 1t has since been steadily increasing, though
IN mider form than al Plymouth. There Is much
perpexiy as to the origin of the disease, as =" 1t IS
confined to the most clearly portion of the town"
In the first place ID is Just we'll to call the dis
ease typhoid fever instead of plymouth fever.
In the second place, the presumption Is that II mas
been spread abroad in Sugar Notch as 1t Is usually
spread namely, through water into which the de-
iccta of a fever patient have been thrown OF nave
drained or filtered. Tins is almost always the way
in which the germs of typhoid fever are dissent
mated. and the experience of Plymouth ought to
ealighten the people Of Sugar Notch Whenever
and wherever typhoid assumes an epidemic FORM
the first thing to do is to examine the water supply,
for there nine times out Of tea, the source OF nfec
ton will DO found
1t is SAID that at Sugar Notch many OF the fami-
lies where the disease has appeared use springs. IL
will quite proba bly, be fonnd that several of them
uso the same spring aud that in some way, through
the common care essness observed in such matters,
the dciccta OF fever patient have been so dis
posed as to make drainage into the spring possible
All Plymouth was infected through one such act OF
carelessness. and Sugar Notch has probably had
similar experience. The fact IS that people Will
not exercise precaution. They throw things away
On the ground never thinking that the first shower
NAV wash them INTO a negbboring stream. In all
these eases the spread Of disease is the direct result
Of neglocting sanitary laws aud though the lnno-
cent NAV and do have to suffer Tor the guilty Mt
such times very little additional care Is taken be-
cause of that danger There Is however no mys-
tory about these cpidemlcs. They are as plain and
clear a. the death of n man who has been seen to
swallow a dose of strychuine But 1t looks as
though some of tho rural practitioners were behind

The Saturday half holiday movement is max
ing rapid and satisfactory progress. That 1t Is
a practical and philanthroplc movement lew
will deny. and there seems To be n general dis
position on the part of employers TO extend thls
favor to their employees as far "a practicable
This is highly praiseworthy. Or course there
are some branches of business which cannot be
snspended nj noon on Saturday but the IN
dicatlons are that the movement will become
general among downtown business firms and IN
the dry goods trade.
In connection with this matter great deal
can be done by ladies, with whom Saturday
afternoon Is a favorite shopping season. Five
days and half a week are surely sufficient for
shopping purposes, and shoppers by little
forethonght can 80 arrange their time as To Keep
from visiting dry-goods stores on Saturday
afternoon. Hence strong inducement for the
shopkeeper to remain open Will disappear, ana
there being no customers, the doors VIII be
closed Ladies who have the welfare of their
fellow creatures Mt heart should bear this sug-
gestion In mind and act upon 1t.
At the same time many large retail merchants
claim with reason that they cannot close their
stores mt noon on Saturday during the month OF
June without serious loss, ms this is the season
when people are making their purchases pre-
paratory to leaving the city for their vacations
Moreover, there are many PERSONS such as
teachers, for example, who cannot do their
shopping on any day but Saturday, and it will
be hardship for them if the shops are shut up
But after this month they promise to join in
the reform movement. Hence we may expect
Saturday noon to be the general closing hour in
the retail trade throughout July and August.
Our news columns show from day to day how
this humane reform, strongly urged by the
Chamber of Commerce last week, is making
PROCESS The Produce Exchange, the Mari
time Association, the Mercantile Exchange, the
Board pf Trade and the Real Estate Exchange
have already taken favorable action, and the
Stock, Cotton and Petroleum Exchanges are
likely to do the same. Three large dry-goods
houses have put themselves in line, and the
movement has taken practical shape among
publishing houses and in the silk and jcwelry
trades. All this is highly gratifying. Let the
good work go on. The new custom will secure
a strong foothod this year. and receive such an
impetus that it will soon become an established
institution of our city. And there is no reason
why it should be confined to New York.

CONDITION or NATIONAL BANKs

There is unusual interest in the statement of
the National banks of the United States-for
May 6, which has just been published. because
it shows how far the .tendencyito accumulate
silver in the vaults of the banks has been opera
tive within the last half year. When the re-
ports we're made, September 20, upon which the
Controllers annual statement was based, the
banks held of silver certificates only 1881, $40
and of silver coin 5000, 557, making in all of
silver and silver certificates $1l ,i24,O67. Ac-
cording TO the statement Of December 20, the
aggregate had increased about 81 600, 900, and
according to the statement of March 10 there
had been q further increase of $700,0O the
figures at that time being of silver certificates
$4,516,490 and of silver coin $9,1SS, $50 !;
total silver $13,70f.570. 1t now appears that
the amount held May was in the aggregate
only 81, 462, LAT, but the amount of silver coin
had slightly increased to $9,327,0 47, while the
amount of certificates had decreased to
$4,135,100. Thus it appears that during the
past eight months the amount of silver and
silver certificates held by the National banks
has increased about $2,oO0,ooo. while durina

the past two months there has been small ae-
crease. The detailed statement, showing the
amount held in different sections and citles,wiil
be awaited with considerable interest because
according to the March report. the Boston banks
had reduced their holdings of silver ana silver
certificates to about $3.50, 900, whereas it had
been 81, $4,000, according to the report OF
December 20. Presumably the Boston banks
have not again consented to increase their load,
and the increase has probably been In other
sections. The New-York National banks held
in March only 81 ,557, sol, against $2,OO2,S sos
December 20, and mt Philadelphia also there
has been some decrease. The increase must
therefore have been in other sections, and In
fact il appears that during the quarter ending
March 10 the Southern banks increased their
holding of silver certificates about $l,ooo,ooo'
and of silver coin about $6Oo,OOo. AT the
West there was also small increase, IN the
aggregate about 100000.
Bnt there is no reason to be apprehenslve In
regard to the position of the banks because OF
the very large accumulation OF the gold re-
serve. On the 9th of May the National banks
held no less than $163, 953,272 in gold and
gold certificates, having increased the reserve
of that sort OYER $1O,O00,000 within the
nrevious two months, and nearly 100000
since September 20. Their legal-tender re-
serves had also somewhat Increased, ana
amounted May 6 to $96, All 1893, being about
S5. OOO, 900 larger than in September. with
so great an increase in the reserve composed OF
gold or its equivalent, the slight change In the
amount of silver held is of no Importance.

GLANCE FOR STEALING.


Now it is proposed, as great reform OF
course. to take the public money ont OF the
Sub. Treasures and deposit it with properly
selected banks as National repositories. The
first thing which occurs to every mind Is that
there will be room for great favorltism, Tor
unlimited jobbery, and for constant abuse oil
power for political ends, under the new arrange
nent. A Secretary of the Treasury who pleases
can give the preference to the banks OF his own
political liking, or to banks which serve poIltl-
cal ends most efficiently, or to banks which
make the most satisfactory division. There Is
room for unlimited wrongdoing, If the Score
tary or his subordinates please to embrace the
opportunities which such a system presents.
According to reports the only alleged reason
for this remarkable change is that the expense
of clerk hire and official attendance Mt some OF
the Sub Treasures can be saved. Bat 1t would
be safe to venture the prediction that the Dem
ocratic party could better afford to pay all the
expenses Of the Sub Treasures for four years by
private subscription than to face the scandals
to which the proposed arrangement will lead.
