PAY INTEREST.

Contending against the suggestion Of
the EVENING JOURNAL that the city's
funds should be deposited in the bank
making the highest and best bid the
Morning News says
We should certainly dislike TO see our
banks drift into the practice Of paying
interest on deposits-the general stability
Of our banking system being Of more i'm
portance TO the community than any
chance profit to those individuals who
carry large deposits The general bank
ing policy should be to encourage indi
viduals to make their own investments,
at their own risk, rather than to leave
large sums on deposit for rate Of inter
est paid by the banks. When the banks
pay interest on deposits they have to use
the money so as TO earn the In terest and
their own profits besides, and this is a
temptation to make rash investments,
and in case Of panic subjects them to
dangerous strain.
The Morning News seems not to have
clearly defined ideas on this subject.
This is a city deposit not an individual
deposit. A man may manage his own
tobhlc w hAlb hiAintli nAbnDub AtAcAehOc
TO the policy Of the banks. But the
city's deposit has heretofore been deter
mined by favoritism, and by worse means,
so as TO become scandal. To remedy
that to the advantage of the city, and
to place all banks entitled to carry the
deposit on an equal footing we suggested
the bidding system. There is no reason
why this method Of depositing the city,
funds should change the general bank
ing policy" The banks already pay in
terest on large deposits. They also issu
certificates Of deposit and pay interes
on them This question, however
should be decided on its merits. Wha
is best for the city is th'
question: The banks are able to taxi
care Of themselves aud the people whit
have money to deposit are able to TAX
care Of themselves The city's depository
does not matter baubee to either. How
the banks are TO be prevented from max
ing rash investments by any particulal
disposition Of the city's funds is incom
prehensible.

PnILADE1PHIA. Monday, May Q. 1883.

The special news of the day
is that the Housekeeping in
the House More Beautiful is
ended, a thing of the past
which, while it lasted, pleased
and interested people by the
tens of thousands. The same
rooms will tell a new story
very soon.
The Furniture of the period
is a topic of much interest.
The more perfect adaptation
to human needs of the things
upon which comfort depends
is quite wonderful.
Furniture, as a rule, is more
honest than ever. In Colonial
days the houses of the very
few rich held examples of
truly sincere and moderately
beautiful furniture. Some of
it now fills honored places in
hearts and homes of this genera
ton. Love of it for actual
association is commendable,
but the popular gushing fancy
for it is-or has been-more
of a fashionable fad than an
intelligent admiration.
AS a whole the antiques
may go. The moderns are
better. Present skill produces
effects in natural woods that
make veneering superhuous.
In the olden days many best
Furniture pieces were We
neered, in present days the
word merely points a sneer.
Solid Oak, Mahogany, Wal
nut, and the newer sorts ap.
peal to your moral sense
they do not bear false witness
in the finished articles they
command your taste; souno
principles of art are expressed
in them. Material and Art
are both the servants of Use
therefore the highest intelli
gence of modern Furniture
making is applied to useful
ness.
Thus you have a sample 0.
our notions about Furniture
They are carried out all through
our stock. Three other addeC
notions:
One-The stock must b,
exclusive.
ZaO0-The variety must b,
greatest.
| ZHyee-The prices must b
| least.
With this One, Two, Three
we swing away in this merri
month to the largest Ma,
business we have ever known
April this year was peerles
in volume-a harbinger of
greater May.

THE Pennsylvania Railroad officials are
evidently considerably agitated over the
recent coroner's verdict on the Newport
cases, in which the company was severely
censured. The com pany are investiga-
ting the manner of arriving at the YER

properly constituted; they being com
posed Of standard juries who meet but
for one purpose and that TO censure the
railroad companies. The facts, however,
do not bear this out, as the verdicts OF
the last few weeks are about the only
ones in which the railroad companies have
been censured for some time. The juries
generally arrange the verdicts to suit the

4 MINISTER TO SPAIN.
SOMETHING ABOUT Ex- SENATOR
PALMER, OF MICHIGAN.

His Fine PercheroD Horses, His Gnt Edge
Farm and His Costly Log House Near
Detroit--A Story or Two That WIN In
terest.
Ex-senator Thomas w. Palmer. of
Michigan, who has been nominated min
lister to Spain, has been called the bucolic
senator Of Michigan. He is a great
breeder Of horses and is an enthusiast on
the Percheron breed. He has a beauti-
full farm near Detroit, and would rather
raise horses, he has said, than be in
Office. Some years ago he saw Rosa
Bonheurs Horse Fair" in A. I. Stew
arts gallery in New York. He was par
ticularly struck with the Percheron
horses painted there, and sent an agent
abroad to procure some of this rare stock.
The agent was also instructed to secure
fine Arabian mares, which the senator
desired to cross with the Percheron
horses.
Upon his arrival at Damascus he
learned that firman had been issued by
the sultan prohibiting the further expor-
tation of horses because of the probability
Of war, in which they would be needed.
This did not daunt Senator Palmer's
agent, neither did the historical belief
that no Arabian horses are ever disposed
of except as gifts to royal personages
and for purposes of war. He pushed on,
and had little trouble in persuading the
sultan to revoke his flrman in the inter
est of United States senator. He was
elated by his success, but he failed in his
effort TO get the horses. The rules against
selling did not prevent; he failed from a
far different cause. Every horse shown
him was spawned, ringboned. wind bro
ken, blind or afflicted with some other
disease to which horses, even the pink
eyed, soft skinned Arabian species, are
subject Only one horse did the SEN
atorial agent see that apparently was
worthy Of being transported to America,
and that one, on close inspection, proved
also to be unsound. The enterprise was
given up in despair.
Though failing to get his Arab horses
Senator Palmer's agent returned with
twenty-four of the finest Percheron
horses ever brought to America. They
were purchased at La Perche and taken
to Mr.. Palmer's Fort Hill farm.
-.
Mr.. Palmer has thus given a descrip-
ton of his first experience with his
favorites;
"The horses are generally of a dapplC
gray, though they may be black, and

THE fourth exposition was opened ID
Paris Yesterday before it was ready
This is timed as the centennial anniver
sary Of the meeting of the States Gen
eral and the fall Of the Bastile in 1883.
France has had wonderful success in or
ganizing and managing eKpositions. In
1855 there were 100000 visitors, in
1867 there we're 100000. in 1878 the
number was increased to 1900, 600
II is expected that the pres

plays. Already the steamers from New
York are crowded with Americans who
