of our inability to see what exists right under
our eyes. The same spirit of inquiry and IN
vestigation that produced the Stole, the Perl
patetc or the Epicurean, and gave form to the
deep philosophy of Duns Scotus or Aquinas. Is
at work among us to-day, though under rad
ically different social and intellectual condl-
tons. At first sight it may seem far cry
from the Stoa, around which Zeno gathered
his few picked disciples to the Chautauqua
Assembly but the Chautauqua Assembly and
all similar institutions to-day are the outcome
of mans desire for a la gcr intellectual HORIZON
Just as were the ancient schools OF philosophy.
But while the gene is OF the ancient and
modern schools is the same the utility OF the
modern is incomparay,y greater. They find
their disciples. not among the few illuminate,
but among the great masses of the people
and the topics they di. cuSs have to do with the
progress and happiness of the many, instead
of the few While many of the ancient sages
wasted their genius on such speculations as
"The flying arrow is at rest because at every
moment it is only in one place" great multi

1t may be that all cannot perfectly compre-
bend what they hear; but to all, at least, is
given the opportunity to enlarge their intel
lectual horizon and understand more perfectly
the meaning and tendency of human life. The
current of thought and speculation that was
formerly confined within a narrow rut is to-

Even theology, the furthcst removed of all the

average Christian consciousness of the age. ex

of the day.
There are those who regret the overthrow
of the old autocrats of human thought, and
fear the results of allowing the people to be
the sole judges in the domain of knowledge.
But their regret is idle and their fear I'M

takes, the people can be trusted to render a

Current reports concerning the financial condi-

embarrassment to unsucc 'ssful investments made
by him in Paris during recent years. Inasmuch

with interest, although the judicous reader
will not take the Colonel too seriously. Still,
his statements about the campaign of '92 evil

conditions prevailing there last summer and fall
were such as to promote the spread of the disease
and it took the people and officials a long time
to realize the situation and set about menlinc

reasonable thoroughness. In particular, attention
has been given to the water supply, which is
pronounced good, although last year it was the

ON A SOLID BASIS
The Banks Prepared TO Meet Any
Demands Upon Them.

The bankers of this city are less con-
cerned in appearance than any other class
OF people over the suspension of the Pacific
Bank and the Peoples Home Savings
Bank. AS rule there were no more than
the usual number of people about the
banks yesterday. and as they have all for
tilted themselves with funds for emer-
gency the presidents and managers seemed
to feel as comfortable as ever and have no
fear of any financial trouble 20 come. A
CALL reporter interviewed many Of them
and found not one who was worried over
the inanci outlook.
John f. Bigelow. the vice-president of
the Nevada Bank, said:
ANY runs would be altogether uncalled
for. The financial situation generally is
more solid now here than it has ever been
In the history of the State. There has
been no Initiation and everything has been
going on very quietly for long time, and
there is no reason for those doing bust
ness with our good banking Institutions to
worry. The failures that have occurred
were not unexpected. and, being held in
view. the other banks made ample prepare
ton for any little excitement that might be
caused by the collapse of the Pacific and
Peoples Home banks. All the other banks
are in very sound condition. To show
you that the public is not badly wsrred, !
can only say that we have to-day taken in
more money than we paid out"

eating the condition of the banks affairs
so far as his investigation had proceeded.
At the bank the feeling was that the
Commissioners had found the assets in
such shape that they would be justified in
reporting the institution solvent.
Richard II. Mcdonald Jr., though he
cannot conceal his chagrin at the turn
which things have taken. maintains firm
front. To all corners he is as affable as
ever. He insists that the resumption of
the bank is only question of time. In
less than six months, he says. it will not
owe depositor single dollar. He has
but one object in life. W hich is to restore
the Pacific Bank to its former position.
He ascribes all his present misfortune to
the acts of one man. who m he says Il beat
out OF $4,000 commission three years ago
on placing the Los Angeles cable road bonds
and he has had it in for US ever since. We
aided in the construction of the Los Angeles
electric railway system by negotiating its
bonds, and this hurt the cable lines. So
You can see his motive. The Clearing
house was his trap and fell into it. Had
l for Ia moment suspected this 1 would
have saved the Pacific Bank at this june
ture. need not have asked the Clearing
house for cent. [ could have obtained
all the money desired in the East, but it
WAS too late for me to make my appeal in
that quarter in time for the crisis which
has come so suddenly"
Mr.. Mcdonald found some surcease of
sorrow in the pile of sympathetic kilograms
ON his desk. which conveyed to him the
regrets of Eastern bankers over the COL
of ha DoniGo At.
messages were sympathetic greetings from
the Bank of the Republic and the Chemi-
cal Bank, two strong New York City in
Stitutions. He also received many callers
during the day, all of whom IN expressing
their sympathy for him, spoke of the ad-
mirable man ner in which he had conducted
the affairs OF the bank under most adverse
circumstances.
During the afternoon representatives. of
the McDonalds appeared at the Recorders
office and flied many documents relating to
the bankers affairs.
To begin with, R. III. Mcdonald Jr.
transferred to T. V. Mcdonald his powers
of attorney to sell or dispose OF as he saw
fit several blocks of real estate situated on
the outskirts of the city.
Then several pieces of Mission property
and the lot at Pine and Sansome streets.
where the bank is situated, were trans
ferred to the PEOPLES Home Savings Bank,
the consideration being S299.000. The
Mcdonald Company received a de ed for
some property located at Market and
Sanchez streets, to secure property to the
amount of $4,000. and several trust deeds
of real estate were transferred to o. F.
Minor.
These transfers we're recorded to secure
their recipients against loss by the banks
failure, and it is generally understood that
in each instance the property named was
really given as security for money bor-
rowed at the time the loans were con-
tracted.
