With growing confidence in his own
majesty the young kaiser of Germany ap-
pears to think that he ought to be some
thing of an autocrat after the yattern of
bis friend, the Russian car E-cn aspira-
tions were undeniably betrayed in his
recent speech at banquet in the course of
which he is reported to have said: "As to
the home policy which is being established
] shall not deviste hairs breadth from
the course l have adopted. l alone am
master of this country and nobody else. u
There is good deal of personal pronoun
and a strong suggestion of potent tipple in
that statement. Very likely it was aimed
at grim old Bismarck. But it is not likely
to affect him in any other way than to
excite a sardonic smile of amusement.

Another negro convention has been held
In Cincinnati, in which the burden of the
complaint was the failure of the republican
administration TO ''recko'nize" the man aud
brother. 1t seemed to be merely an ordt

which those who have been favored were
roundly rated by those who were left But

Another particularly sharp swindler has
turned up in London and the Britons natur-
ally assume that he is an American.
Whenever a man does thing unusually
bright in Europe the authorities imme-
diately jump to the conclusion that he must
be an American. While this may be fiat
tering enough to our national ingenuity it
is not altogether complimentary to our
morality. Therefore it is not to be ac-
cepted with unalloyed qualification. Euro
pean police agents should bear in mind that
their native Adventures are as fully I'M
scrupulous as any we have, even though
they may find it necessary to borrow their
ideas from ours This particular sharper
referred to is said to have bagged booty
amounting to nearly 100000 on a very
simple trick by whlcn he palmed off bogus
jewelry for the genuine article. AS we have
no particular pride in his performance there
are very few Americans who would not be
heartily glad to hear that he had been
locked up.

Philad elphia.s Rotten Bank.

When il was announced day or two age
that the Keystone National Bank Of Phila-
delphia would be reorganized the depOsltors
felt hopeful about getting their money.
According TO our dispatches yesterday all
possibility Of a reorganization has been
given up. And the reason that 1t has been
given up is, probably. that the bank is a
mere shell-there is no substance in it.
Only few days ago it was found that a
national bank in New York had been
robbed of hundreds of thousands of dollars
by its president. The directors had been
so negligent of their duty that il the presi-
dent had not died he would have probably
robbed it of about all it possessed.
The Keystone bank was robbed by its
president who died not long ago. and it was
not until some time after his death that the
directors discovered its condition. AMI
strange as it may seem the government
bank inspector did not find anything wrong
with the bank, although there was short
age of 81 900, 900 or more.
Not only did the president of the bank take
what money he wanted without collateral
OF any kind, but some Of the largest of the
stockholders were permitted to overdraw
their accounts. Nobody seemed to take the
trouble to stop the Irregularities 1t is net
to be wondered at, therefore, that the bank
was wrecked.
The city treasurer of Philadelphia has
about 100000 in the bank, and if he gets
10 per cent. of it he will be lucky from
present indie atoms And there are hun
dreds of depositors and stockholders who
will suffer on account of the neglect of the
directors who were selected TO watch their
interests.
The present president, who was the
cashier, and the ex assistant cashier, have
been arrested, aud they will have
a chance to tell what they know
about the wrecking. But ought not the di-
rectors also be arrested and tried for crimi-
nal neglect of duty2 What excuse have
they for permitting tine bank to be robbed
day after day for weeks and months. II
there is no law to reach such men one ought
to be enacted in every state in the union.
And bank directors ought to be made
liable to the full extent of their
fortunes for any losses a bank with which
they are connected sustains, provided it be
shown that proper discharge of their du-
ties would have prevented the losses.
Philadelphia has had some pretty severe
experiences with bank wreckers recently.
And so have other cities. Is it not time, in
the light of these experiences, that bank
directors were held to a stricter account for
the faithful discharge of their duties9

Stoning an American gentleman in Flor
ence by an unruly street mob may hav 9
been intended as revenge for the execution
of the New Orleans assassins, who are said
to have been chiefly Florentines. But the
assault was wholly unprovoked so far as
can be learned, and the p rpetrators are
likely to discover that they have made
rather a serious mistake-if the Italian gov
ornment is half SO fond Of justice as it
claims to be.

Boston does not seem to please "Old
Hutch" much more than Chicago did.
Reporters chase him in Beantown even
more persistently than they did in the west,
he says. AS newspaper reporters are his
pet aversion, it is only reasonable to sur
mise that the old man isn't having much
fun. But Just wait till he gets over to New
York. Then his dearly beloved newspaper
friends will make life an actual burden to
him.
