the case or the evidence, after he got the

ORR BANKING LAW.

A correspondent writing to an eX-
change about the recent bank failures
in Philadelphia thinks it would be a
good thing TO adopt the English bank
ing law. This correspondent has evil
IDENTIFY not carefully studied the Ameri-
can banking law, which is fully as good
as the English. All that is wanting Is
its enforcement. Had the law been
thoroughly enforced in the case OF these
Philadelphia banks there would have
been a different outcome.
Some accuse Postmaster General
WANAMAkER of being implicated in the
Philadelphia bank scandal, and declare
that if he would he could tell why the
government took no action after being
informed of the crooked condition oil
the banks. This charge, however, Is
doubtless unjust to Mr.. WANAMAKER,
who above all else is a very Shrewd and
careful business man and probably
would be the last TO get himself mlNei
up in such an affair.
But these charges show something
decidedly wrong on the part OF the gov
eminent. The Comptroller of the Cur
rencv was notified that the capital OF
these banks was impaired. He eX-
plains his failure to take action In the
matter on the ground that he could not
close a bank unless it were shown that
the Impairment of its capital amounted
to insolvency, aud that the impairment
shown in the notification did not show
insolvency. May be not, bat 1t was
fully sufficient TO warrant him in order
ing a searching examination into the
condition of the institutions. Such eX-
animation would have at once disclosed
the Acknowledgement and rottenness OF
these banks. And this it was his duty to
do.
Our banking law is all right. All 1t
needs is enforcement and no time
should be lost in instituting thorough
as to why it was not en-
forced in this case.
