SHOULD DIRRCToRs DIRECT1

Not long ago, it will be remembered, a surprising decision was given by five of the judges of the United States Supreme court to the effect that bank directors didn't really have much responsibility. This decision was disturbing one, and it is interesting to notice that motion has been made for rehearing of the appeal. The motion for @ rehearing is made for the purpose of enabling the government to take share in the argument of the case. The ground upon which tho motion is based is that the court did not fully ap- prehend the facts. If the court grants a rehearing the attorney general will be as- sociated in the argument with the private counsel for the receiver. It is contended that the government has an active interest in placing upon the directors of national banks as large share as possible of the responsibility for wrong-doing by their executive officers. The governments con- ention in the ase may be summed the law is as set forth in the majority opinion of the court, and director may escape liability by proving his absence from the bank at the very time when, in order to be of any service to it, he should have been present and defending the in terests of the innocent parties whom he represented, then the logical outcome of the case will be that the directors of banks all over the country will stay away from the board meetings and leave matters to be run by the president and cashier at will, as by that means they would be able to reap the honor and credit which are traditionally associated with bank direc- torship, without taking any of the risks beyond the possible loss of the few shares of stock which the law requires them to hold in order to become directors.
 Perhaps the court will not entertain the motion for a rehearing. Many people would feel better if it did and if differ ent decision were arrived at.

Henry Morley. From Caxton to Cover dale. Volume VII of Professor Morley's valuable history begins with sketch of the Italian renaissance, showing its effect upon English scholarship and letters. Former volumes have narrated the pro- gress toward what has been technically called the English reformation, and in the time now described the question of church reform involves the state and staads espe- cially conspicuous. The teachings of Wy cliff, John Illus and Luther, the discoveries of Cabot and Columbus, the invention of printing, all had stimulated thought, spec ulation and discussion, and wonderfully quickensd the intellectual life of xhe peo- pie. The earliest English writer whose work is sketched in this volume is William Grocyn, 1446-1519. Among the most noted characters of the period were Bras mus, Sir Thomas Moore, Cardinal Wolssy, Tyndal, Latimer and Coverdale. The vol tune closes with an account of the pub fishing of various translations of the Bi- ble, the last being Cranmer's revision of TyndaPs version in 1540. Cassen & Co.,, New York. For sale by E. P.

 "A Girl in the Karpathians," by Menie Muriel Dowie. Miss Dowie's book has passed through several editions in Eng land, the leading London dailies have de- voted columns af praise to the work and its author, her portrait has been printed in the illustrated papers, and she has even lectured by request before the Geographi- cal society. The young writer having spent much time in travel upon the conti- nent determined to strike into some new path, and chose the almost untravelsd and une1plored Karpathian mountains in Rus sia- Holland as the scene of her wanderings, passing an entire summer there without other companions than the peasantry. The book is full of interest, written in vigorous and animated style, and the de- scriptions of life, scenery and manners in obscure Ruthenia are full both of wit and poetry, proving Miss Dowie to be as gifted with remarkable literary skill as with independence, courage and keen powers of observation.

WHAT PROTECTION DOES.

MT. A. c. Durham, of Hartford, vice president of the Willimantic Linen con- pany, received an inquiry from western man, concerning the effect of protection on that company, and his reply is pub lished. It contains facts which will not furnish ammunition for free trade writers and orators:
 Before 1860 the duty on spool cotton was from 25 per cent. to 30 per cent. ad valorem, which was not sufficient to es- tablish the business in this country on @ permanent and competing basis. In 1861 the duty was made partly specific and partly ad valorem, and would now, if still in force, be equivalent to about g cents on each dozen of spools containing 200 yards on each spool. The present duty is IA cents on each dozen spools, containing 200 yards each, the reduction being made in 1883. Under the high duty, the English manufacturers who had previous ly supplied this market 0he Coats com pany and the two Clarks), transferred their American business to this country, expending about ten millions of dollars in mills and machinery.
 In 1860 the price of three-cord glsce spool cotton was 421 cents net for one dozen spools containing 200 yards each. Now for this article, greatly improved in quality 164 cents is received for the same quantity. In 1860 wages averaged about $4 per week for each man employed. Now wages average about $S per week. In | short, while the price of the goods has been reduced GO per cent, the average l wages paid have been doubled. There has never been any duty paid on the raw ma terial, which is cotton. The wages paid in l Great Britain have also been raised in the thirty years and are now about one-hali what is paid for this class of labor in thif country.
 l Of course the cost of spool cotton hal been greatly decreased in the thirty year by the invention of labor saving machine and by acquired skill and experience. Blu without exception, these special machine have originated in this country, and hay, later been adopted in Great Britain. II the manufacture of spool cotton, and in deed of all textiles, the labor on both side
 of the Atlantic produces about equal re
 suits per hand If the laborer is paid s
 per week in Europe and sS per week here
 the actual labor cost here will be doubl
 that in Europe. The same machinery i
 used both here and there. It is run at tn
 same speed and with the same attendants
 A big investment of foreign capital
 wages doubled, prices for the goods re
 duced 60 per cent, and invention of ms
 chinery stimulated is a pretty good recor
 for protection in the thread business.
