The urgent need of post Office building for
Washington must be knewn to every member
of Congress who gives the least attention to
public affairs. The insufficient space and gen
orally disgraceful condition of the present post
Office building have been pointed out thousand
times in the press and in Congress during the
last five years. Yet session after session opens
and closes and nothing is done for the National
Capital, while hundreds of tenth-class cities in
all sections Of the country are provided with
handsome and costly post Office buildings. In
the clever cartoon on the first page of the sup
plement to-day our artist puts the matter in a
very striking light.

1t shows that the watchful business men of the
city appreciate the increased value which its
rapidly extending circulation gives to the adver-
tising space of the paper. 1t reflects, moreover
of our business men, and the spread among them
of modern and progressive views as to the neces-
sty of liberal and iudicious advertising as a
means to continued success. For such advertis-
ing in most lines of business the very best me-
dunn is the Sunday paper, which is more thor
oughly and carefully read than any other. And
among Sunday papers THE HERALD challenges
comparison with any outside of the ponderous
sheets of the metropolis 1t covers its special
fields thoroughly from week to week. and gives
in addition the latest local and telegraphic news,
as we'll as a fair amount Of entertaining miscel-
lany. THAT the newspaper and the bust
ness men of the city appreciate the efforts of
THE HERALD's proprietors to increase its value
week by week is abundantly proved by the
growth of its circulation and advertising patron
age; and in the future it is the intention of THE
HERALD to deserve still better of both classes
by pressing right on along the path of progress
and improvement.

ing and is stopping at his sisters house,
resting after his hard campaign. lie
talked freely to an Associated Press re-.
porter tonight on the results of the re-
cent election, and, referring to the new
tariff law, said, in part, 'li 1t had much
to do with the republican losses it is not
becau Sc of itself but because of misun-
derstanding OF its provisions among the
people, and the studious efforts of free
traders at home and abroad to mis-
represent it," He alleges the marking up
of prices WAS the most telling agency OF
deception. "rhe law was less than u
month old when the elections occurred,
Its effect could not be felt or
shown by actual experience. False
hood took the place of fact and imposed
upon the credulous people. Goods were
said to have gone up in price which had
been placed on the free list by the
new law, and many articles where duties
had been reduced were said to have gone
up, all because of the new law. Time
alone will 'vindicate or condemn the
measure. Misrepresentation and decep-
ton will no longer avail now that the
election is over. Those who care to
know its exact provisions can do so by
examination of the law itself, removed
from partisan prejudice. The people in
my Judgment" said Major Mckinley
win stand by protection. They always
have when the issue has been presen ted
fairly"
The major refused to say anything as
to the policy ofthe republican party at
the coming session of congress, or the

NEW York, Nov. IL. - Rumors of
trouble among the banking institutions
were current all day, but no one paid
much heed, thinking they were the
usual emanations of excited minds.
that three firms, members of the New
York Clearing House Association, had
difficulty in settling the claims of other
banks against them. There was a bal
ance against the Bank of North America
ofSl, 400, 600 which 1t was unable to set
tie. The other banks were the North
River and Mechanics & Traders. How
ever the balance was created against the
Bank of North America was u puzzle.
During the day the Mechanics g.
Traders made its settlements with
the clearing house all right, and
the other two banks received assistance
from other banks In the association, and
pulled through all right. At the Bank
of North America it was stated the
tLouble was directly due to the account
OF Decker, Howell IL Co., and now that
bank was in stronger position than ever.
The most important factor in the de
velopments was the scarcity of money.
Right up to the close 1t was in urgent
demand. and n per cent. and legal inter
est was charged on loans, equal to lS0
per cent per annum. This fact and the
trouble of banks caused a special meet
ing OF the clearing house association,
ana after long session IL was decidei to
appoint a committee with authority to
Issue clearing house loan certificates In
order TO enable the banks to settle bal
ances between themselves. This action
is expected to restore complete conh-

Circulation in Time of

WAsHrSoros. Nov. IL. - Secretary
information from Wall street was the
situation was improving with indica-
ions that the worst was over. He do
clined to say whether the treasury de-
partment would or would not do any
thing for the relief of the money market,
but admitted that he was giving the
matter serious consideration. The de-
partment, he added, stands ready to re-
deem ~ per cent. bonds to the extent
of its resources but is not ready to make
any overtures to holders of A per cent.
bonds. The secre tary said that recent
heavy disbursements had reduced the
available surplus to 5000, OO0, and 1t
was a question in his mind whether this
small working balance could be still
further reduced with safety to the busi-
ness of the department. It's true that
the national banks hold $4,000, 900 OF
public funds, but we do not care TO dis
turb those deposits at present.
In explanation of the small surplus,
the secretary said that during the period
from July 10 last to the date OF the cir
cular inviting proposals for the sale OF
bonds to October 81, there was discussed
from the treasury Sl0O, go, 600 through
the purchase OF bonds and interest pay
ments and $50, 600 600 on account o.
pension payment which, together with
the issue OF nearly Sl3,OOO,0O0 in new
notes for tho purchase of silver, mad'
the total amount of money put into cir
culation Sl63 OOo,OO These disbursc
ments, said the secretary, were $40,
900 in excess OF the total receipts during
the same time. and / venture the asser-
tion there never were before, in time
of peace, so heavy a payment in th'
same space of time.

The liabilities are due almost entirely
to banks and bankers on loans mado in

cured. The cause of suspension was the
inability to borrow tho necessary
amount OF cash required in the days
