BUILDING ASSOCIATIONS.


Bradstreet's calls attention to the fact
that building and loan associations are fast
becoming financial factor of great i'm
portance. It says that the West has hun
dreds, not to say thousands, of these asso-
Citations, instancing Michigan, which has
more than 200, against no mutual savings
bank, and only 67 stock institutions In
the eastern States, too, are many building
and loan associations, and their number is
increasing. In a convention of such asso-
Citations for the State of New Jersey alone
179 were represented, and these, with 81
which were not represented, are said to
have capital of $2O,OOO,OOO. In Massa-
chusetts, where the number of savings
banks is greatest, are 106 building and
loan associations, or "co-operative banks, :"
where there was not one twelve years
ago, and new ones are organizing at the
rate of ten year. At this rate of in
crease there will be as many of these as
sociations as of savings banks ten years
from now.
1t is too aoon to make an intelligent
guess concerning the effects of this new
force, but in view of the multiplication of
these cooperative banks and the increas-
ing magnitude of the capital they are
massing the need of providing proper
safeguards cannot be doubted. State legis-
latures should lose no time in providing
for the proper regulation and inspection
of these organizations and for the oo1Iec-
ton and publication of facts respecting
them, so that their significance and value
as an economic factor may be better un-
derstood by ,fnanciers and the public at

COMMUNICATIONS.
Water Rates.


To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
The editor of the "Manual of American
Water Works." in letter to Mayor Sar-
gent, states that 430 cities having private
ownership of water companies average 43
per cent. higher than 31S cities having
public ownership.
This is very misleading, and if the ex-
pert exercises the same wonderful knowl-
edge of arithmetic as he does in computing
the average of the public water rates of
the state of Maine the above information
is of no value whatever. His financial
knowledge of the private water companies
mentioned in his book is very scanty for
obvious reasons. He informs us that there
are LOG private water companies and S1S
public companies. Why did he
select the above number of cities to form
his average! And why is it that the few
arguments advanced in favor of the city g
ownership of the waterworks are SO de-
ceptive!
The whole truth is that the citizens who
buy their water of private water compa-
nies pay much less than they do to public
water companies, and if the editor of the
"Manual" is ignorant of that fact allow me
to say to him that the published water
rates of city company are no indication
of the real charges that fall upon the in
habitants.
The management of the Croton depart
ment of the city of New York is enough
to render valueless any advice or informa-
ton from that quarter in favor of munich
pal ownership. +.

AT LAST.

Grover Cleveland has at last been heard
from in regard to the silver question. For
months there has been loud call for him
to say something concerning this matter,
but he has apparently not heard it. Fin
ally he sayc. I am glad that the business
interests of New York are at last to be
heard on the subject. 1t surely cannot he
necessary for me to make formal express
sion of my agreement with those who be-
lieve that the greatest perils would be in
braced in the measure now pending in
Congress for an unlimited coinage of silver
at our mints. If we have developed an
unexpected capacity for the assimilation of
a largely increased volume of the currency,
and even if we have demonstrated the nse-
fulness of such an increase, these condi-
tions fall far short of insuring US against
disaster, if, in the present situation, we
enter upon the dangerous and reckless
experiment of free, unlimited, and indie
pendent silver coinage.
Now the Democratic newspapers, es-
peclally those OF the mugWamp KIND,
will be busy telling what bold and
noble thing Grover has done. Hear the
New York Evening Post, for instance
''To appreciate the courage required for
such declaration, it must be remem-
bered that nearly all the Democrats, first
in the Senate and afterwards in the
House, have recently voted in favor OF
free silver coinage, and that in many
Democratic strongholds' the rank and
file of the party appear to be nearly as
unanimous on the same side" We sup
pose that if Grover had waited longer
until the tide had turned still more
strongly against free coinage he would
have shown still more boldness even fol
politician. The fact is it is good tim,
to be bold in this matter.

HARSH ON DANCING.
And Dancers, Too, Receive Little Wer-
cy from n Western Clergyman.

From the Kansas City Times.
The Rev. Frank d. Altman of the buth-
eran church preached upon "The Modern
Dance" last evening. He chose his text
from Ecclesiastes, I'LL: 4: 'And Time to
Dance"
He said: .'In the early ages the dance
was devout, appearing in the garb of reli-
gion as the minister of god. The Hebrews
were accustomed to express their religious
joy and emotions in its rhythmic move
ments As a religious ceremony the dance
is recognized in the scriptures, but as so
cial amusement it is nowhere approved. So
completely has the dance changed from its
ancient religious character that church now
recognizes as one OF its most dangerous
foes. All who wish to maintain godly
life are warned against its insiduous
charms.
''The Roman Catholic church has been
driven by the observed evil influences of
the dance to forbid it in many of its popu-
lar forms. The Presbyterian, Methodist.
Baptist, and indeed all evangelical church
es, give their testimony to the perils to
vital godliness lurking in the surroundings
of the social dance. All dances are not
equally dangerous to good morals. The
dance in the home, under the eye of the
parents and friends, select company, may
be considered less injurious than the pubic
hall. And yet the dance is condemned
without exception. If it shall ever appear
that the dance leads as many people
toward godly life as it now leads from it,
the church will no doubt withdraw its pro-
test, but while the drift is all away from
god toward the world and sin, that protest
must stand.
"The dance is un favorable to intellectu-
al and social development. The love and
practice of this fascinating amusement
supplants and destroys the love of solid
study, good reading, intelligent converse
ton, and the high and better forms of So
cial intercourse. Studies in school are
| neglected, solid reading is abandoned, the
| growth and developement of the nobler
powers are stopped, and life becomes a
succession of frothy, unsubstantial sensa-
| tions ard excitements. There is neither
| time nor disposition left for the best work
| of life. Bring together company of peo-
| dancing and attempt to engage them in in
telligent conversation and the mental va
cancy will be apparent. An intelligent
lady said to minister on this subject;
| But what can do with my companyl The
people of fashionable society do not read,
they are not capable of sustaining an inter
esting conversation, and there is no way OF
entertaining them but by letting them
dance This difficulty no doubt exists.
People usually find their highest JOY IN the
exercise of their strongest faculty, and II
novel-reading, theatregoing, dancing, idle,
goddess company is brought together they
would doubtless be pleased with an invi-
tation to use their heels rather than their
heads.
"The dance requires wasteful expendi-
ture of money. The dance has large
place in history,in the work of individual,
family, and national degsnsracy and bank.

An Ice Advertising scheme.


Manager Williams has scheme that Is
away ahead of anything ever attempted.
He unfolded it yesterday before Chief Bige-
low, when he asked th&t official if he
would be violating any law by delivering
ice on the pavements in front of the prin-
cipal business houses of the city.
Certainly you can" answered Mr. Bige.
low, "but what is the advertising scheme
in it,"
''Well," remarked Harry Williams,
''you made us take down the street bill
boards and the stands at the area way
We had to do something; so 1 have placed
an order with an ice manufacturing com
pany to freeze the Autographs of my
attractions in big cakes of ice. Manufac-
tured ice is as clear as crystal, and it gives
the cake the appearance of having the
picture painted upon it. These blocks
of ice will be left upon the pavements,
and people can use the ice if they want
to. The manufacturers assure me the
quality of the ice will not be injured in
the least But, more than that the litho-
graphs will not be spoiled, and that is all
l care for"

ruptcy. 1t is in close alliance with the
goddess of fashion, and worships at her
shrine. 1t must have costumes, ,equipages,
splendid apartments, and feastings on an
elaborate and expensive scale. The grocer
must hold his bill a little longer, the land
lord must wait for his rent or look in vain
for the bird that has flown, the tailor may
collect his accounts as best he may, while
society wrings its demands from it's vic
tins.
"Take the reports of one of our fashion
able balls, as they may be found in the
daily papers, and study the question of ex-
pense. 1t discreiits straightforward liv-
ing. 1t stimulate the thirst for fashion,
BILE life, for display, luxury and fast living,
wrecks more families morally and finan-
cially than anything.
The associations of the dance are evil.
1t was nursed in the lap of the wine god,
Bacchus; has kept company with the the
ater since they were children together,
1000 years ago. You may almost always
find it in the lettering places of the novel
reading, the wine and beer drinking, the
profane and icentious classes, but rarely
may it be seen in the assemblies of earnest
students, great thinkers, or devout Chris
tians. If we judge it by the company it
keeps you will hardly feel like introducing
your sons ana daughters to Its acquaintance.
The best people in society do not dance,
and for the reason that they think it un-
worthy of them. In the lowest and yilest
grades of society the dance is most popu-
lar and most common; as You rise in the
grade of intelligence and moral excellence,
its popularity and use decline, till you
reach point where it disappears altogeth-
er.
''It is unfavorable to the right relation
of the sexes. 1t requires neither brains
nor good morals to be good dancer. In
ancient times the sexes danced separately.
Alcohol is the spirit of beverages So sex
is the spirit of dance. Take it away and
let the sexes dance separately and dancing
will soon go out of fashion. Parlor dane
ing is dangerous. Tippling leads to drunk
enness and parlor dancing leads to ungod-
ly balls
''The dance is destructive to Christian
life. Many excellent people who are ex-
amples of the common virtues may dance.
but the prayerful Christian soon finds that
he must choose between the dance and his
religious life; he cannot maintain both.
Eighteen hundred years of Christian history
have worked over and over again many of
these perplexing problems with but one re-
cu1t
