TOO MUCH CREDIT.
II May Lead to Ruin--The Barings
aCase in Point.
Fro the New York Sun.

- h.A = OAAes
Fro the New York Sun.
Upon the value of credit in business
methods there is no need to descant.
Where it has a solid foundation In
ability and integrity it facilitates the ex.
change and the distribution of commodi.
ties better than money does, and it
enables mouey to be dispensed with al.
most entirely. But, on the other hand
this very quality of being a substitute
for money renders credit, like all other
good things, liable to abuse. So little
can be done without it, and so much
with it, that the temptation to strain il
beyond safe limits becomes every once ir
while irresistible.
Take, for example, the case of the Bar
ings. The figures show that with capi
tai of its own of not more than 500 900,
600 the firm had contracted for securi
ties and assumed obligations of the nom
inal value of $4,000, By Ions
course of honorable dealings and success
full transactions it had built up a credit
with the public which stood to it in tn,
place of $10O,OOO,0OO in cash. Nor,
than this: it had acquired such reputu

that any investment which it recon
mended was accepted by the public with
out hesitation. These two things-goot
credit and good custom-lured it on tt
its ruin. 1t could borrow so easily tina
it borrowed recklessly and invested reck

Senatorial Funerals

From the New York World.
All Washington is still talking of the
funeral of Senator Hearst. 1t was only
the decided objections Of Mrs. Hearst
that presented the sad journey from
being turned into a sensational junket
party.
A congressional funeral is often as
much picnic to the mourners as a fun
eral march, and it is a question as to
whether the custom should not be doue
away with. 1t is in nmany cases not at all
popular with the family of the. deceased
The cost Of congressional funerals comes
up for discussion here every time a long
trip is taken, and items are fought over
in the committees of congress. 1t costs
about $4,000, more or less, for sena
torial burial, and when Senator Miller
of California, died, it cost just $7,37S tc
carry him to California, to say nothing
of other expenses not down on the bill.
