ONE STATE BANK PLAN.

ONE STATE BANK PLAN.
As an example of what is to be expected
when the 10 per cent. tax on state bank
currency is repealed the bill for the incor-
porating of state banks which has been in
troduced in the legislature of Georgia is
worth attention. It provides that the new
State bank notes shall be at all times re-
deemable at the will of the holder in
''gold, silver, or lawful money of the
United States" Any failure of bank to
redeem its currency upon demand subjects
it to heavy penalties. Its unredeemed
notes will draw interest at the rate of "a
per cent. per annum until redeemed, and
forces the bank into liquidation. The
stockholders in these banks are also made
liable to the amount of their stock, to se-
cure the redemption of the currency. The
bill limits the issue to rs per cent. of the
capital of the bank, and requires the de-
posit by the bank of Georgia State bonds,
United States bonds or Georgia municipal
bonds, in an amount equal to the amount of
the notes which the bank puts in circulation.
1t is to be supposed that these local securi
ties are to be taken at par and currency to
the amount of their par value to be issued
upon them. The State, or a commission
formed by the bill, is to issue the notes,
and the controller general is to sign them,
by way Of giving them the Endorsement of
the State. If thecommission issues, or the
controller general signs such notes for any
bank in excess of the amount of bonds de-
posted by said bank, liability to fine of
not less than So, 900, or both fine and i'm
prisonment, follows. Banks can not OBJ
tain notes excepting to be put into imme-
diste circulation, nor can they issue them
with the understanding that they are not
to be Immediately presented for redemp-
ton. Any bank may at any time surrender
part or the whole of its circulation, or it
may surrender 80 per cent. of its notes and
deposit funds for the redemption of the
remainder, and receive the bonds deposited
as security.
This is certainly not very wildcat
proposition, but lot of State bank sys-
TENS, however carefully mads and guarded,
cannot be as safe, convenient and useful
as good national system.

IN THe KISS NTAKKET,

What ia a kiss? The dictionary calmly
and analytically remarks that 1t is "a sa-
lutte or oaress given by smacking with the
lips" What is the value, in money, of ga
salute or oaress given by smacking with
the Hpsa" Who can tella Some kisses
come high, even though they have no in,
trinsio value, and others which have much
real value are freely given away. Indeed,
it may fairly bs said that those which have
the most value are the ones which are not
charged for. This being the present con-
dition of the kiss market it can readily be
seen that it is not easy to fix upon quo
tation which shall fairly represent the
money value of a kiss. "Sugar common"
is selling for 110a, but kiss es, which are
both common and sometimes real sweet,
are not quoted.
We have been moved to these reflections
by the announcement that woman stu
ated in Holyoke, Massachusetts,, and fifty
years old, is attempting to make quo
tation for kiss, and she has called on the
courts to help her make it. She thinks
that thousand dollars is about the proper
value to be put upon kiss stolen from
her by predatory gentleman, who, trust
ing in the unstable and uncertain charac-
ter of the kiss market, expected to get a
kiss for nothing, with not even the trans
fer charged for. He made a mistake, and
he will be lucky if he doesn't have
to pay the price demanded. There
have been kisses that cost much
more than a thousand dollars. The
Holyoke gentleman WAS dealing with a
woman of experience and maturity enough
to know the value of kiss snatehed from
her. She will, of course, stand out for its
full value. She doubtless reasons that,
the time having gone by when she could
afford to throw kisses around for nothing,
she must have the full price now, and
especially If any man is foolish and wicked
enough to steal one from her.
We shall watch this attempt of the
| Holyoke woman to make a market quota
ton for kiss with deep interest. If she
succeeds in establishing that kiss taken
from a woman fifty years old is worth
| Ill 5uo WILL AosS
done much to elevate Woman and de
press man. She will have fixed {
basis of calculation which will be very use
full to those who are in the kiss market
and her success may have widespread con
sequences. 1t is evident that in the pres
ent state of their finances few men coult
afford to invest largely in kisses at thi
rate, and it is also evident that if a kiss i
decided to bs worth 81, 900 1t will hereafte
be charged for. Woman is going to hav
what she is entitled to, and if she is enti
tied to 81, 900 for ffty-year old kiss sh
is going to have it. Iti appalling to thin
what a sixteen-yearoldk kiss would be wort
at this rate. If high kiss-value is estat
lished there is but one thing for the me
to do. They must do as the stock specr
lators do when the market is too high an
they cannot safely ego short" They mus
stop trading. This will bring the quott
tions down in time.

Rebuilding goes on very slowly in the
burned district of Milwaukee, owing to the
high prices at which land is being held.
Owners are asking from twenty-five to
fifty per cent. more for lots than they did
before the fire. The reason for this con
dition of things is that the locality is much
in demand by the large wholesale and COM
mission houses, which require good deal
of territory for their business. The land
is held in small lots by many owners, who
seem to have dubbed together to sell at
high figures. Real estate men who have
tried to make transfers are in despair over
the situation, and unless the present
holders can be persuaded to pool their
issues aud accept fair prices, there is little
prospect that this part of Milwaukee will
be rebuilt for some time to come.
The French military authorities have
been experimenting with dried bread,
which is said to be superior for campaign
ing purposes both to biscuit and ordinary
bread. From the results of the expert
ments it appears that this dried bread will
absorb from five to six times its own
weight of water, milk, tea, coffee or bouil-
lon. Biscuit absorbs hardly its own
weight of liquid, although when thor
oughly dried i. contains only about 10 per
cent. of water, whereas the bread contains
12 to IA psr cent. 1t can be made in cnbes
of convenient form for packing, and will
probably be found to be not less i'm

made by Germany in the same department,

it absorbs, fairly substantial dinner, be-

Those who are present at the opening Of
the Chicago fair next year may see the
sultan of Johore, and if they do they will
see something worth seeing. He is the
only independent ruler in southern Asia.
The subjects of the sultan number half
million and his royal domain covers an
area of $4,000 square miles. His distin-
gushing characteristic is his fad for dis-
monds, and when in full regalia he strings
$4,000, 900 worth of them from his ahoul-
ders. The royal party expects to be
present at the opening of the fair and will
remain in the United States several
months. The sultan will visit Washing
ton also and pay his respects to the presi
dent and official society generally. His
interest in the worlds fair is not entirely
without commercial motive, as he ex-
poets to exploit the Johore tea, which is
said to excel the Japan brands, and which
the sultan would be glad to introduce into
America.
