Theodore Hook.

1t was Hook who perpetrated the
jest that forms the turning. point in
Gilbert Gurncy's career. One day he
and the elder Mathews, the comedian,
took row up the river to Richmond.
Passing well.trimmed lawn at Barnes,
they noticed an inscription-board
sternly forbidding any strangers to
land. This was enough for Hook.
Tying the boat to tree, he and Mat
hews landed, taking with them fishing
rods and lines Hook acted as land
surveyor, Mathews as his clerk Pacing
slowly to and fro across the lawn, they
used their fshing-rods as pretended
measuring and levelling staffs, their
lines as yard and rood measures. Soon
a parlor window opened The occu.
pant Of the villa, wellto o-alderman,
strobe out in great wrath and demand.
ed what the two interlopers were about.
Hook cody but courteously informed
him that a new canal was TO be cut
directly across the lawn, and that he
and his clerk were taking accurate
measurements. Partly in rage, partly
in despair, the alderman invited them
in to talk the matter over. Dinner was
just ready. The wine flowed freely
The alderman sought to persuade the
surveyor that another line for the canal
might easily be obtained. Hook said
he would do his best. Good humor
was restored, the conversation grew
general, the novelist and the comedian
succeeded in charming the household.
AT last Hook sat down to the piano,
and finally, after numerous brilliant
impromptus, ratified off the following
lines:
Many thanks for your excellent fare,
But we are not the men that we look:
My friends Nj. Mathews the player,
And / am one Theodore Hook.

CANADIAN BANKS.

Canadian banks, under the amended law
of July, 1891, can issue currency to the
amount Of their paid up capital They
can at any time withdraw all or any part
of that currency. In 1891 there were
thirty-eight Canadian banks which had
over 400 branches scattered all over the
Dominion, which gather up the money
lying idle and send it where it is in de-
mand. The extreme variation in inter
est rates from one end of the Dominion to
the other is only 2 per cent. Every Cana
dian bank note issued under the law of
1891 has behind it the entire assets Of the
bank; second, the liability of each
stakeholder for twice the amount
of his stock; and third, fund, called
the bank circulation redemption
fund, held and distributed by the Domin-
ion government. This fund is made up
from a tax of per cent, paid by each
bank, on the amount of its own notes in
circulation for the twelve months previous
to July 1 of each year. If this fund falls
below certain proportion to the total
bank circulation, it is made up from
another tax Of 1 per cent. on bank circula-
ton as before. The banks get per cent
interest on their contributions to this
fund. If bank suspends its notes draw
interest at 6 per cent. until redeemed. If
not redeemed by the receiver of the sus-
pended bank within two months, they are
| redeemed from the redemption fund upon
presentation. The insoivent bank, or its
stockholders to the extent Of their Nabil-
ity, must reimburse the redemption fund
for principal and interest on its notes re-
deemed.
The security behind each dollar of Cana
d liam bank currency in 1891 was 50. and
this included only the visible assets OF the
banks and not the stockholders liability
or the redemption fund. All banks must
have agencies in the principal cities OF the
Dominion, where their notes will be re-
deemed on demand. There is no tax. ex-
cepting the one mentioned. on circulation.
The Dominion government does not ex-
anime the banks. but each bank has an
inspector who examines its branches.

THE MEXICAN WAR PENSION ACT.

When the sweeping bill for a service
pension for the veterans Of the Mexican
war was passed during Mr.. CIeveland's
administration il was argued in the debate
that it would not he very expensive, since
the ordinary rate of pension was fixed by
it At S. a month. The measure was op-
posed ns not being limited to relief for
disabilities acquired in the service, but
was extended to disability that might
have dated thirty or forty years later.
The bill, however. was passed and ap-
proved. and now We find on the pension
rolls 1898 survivors of the Mexican war
and 7,2S6 widows OF soldiers OF that war.
The total Is o., 6Si An increase of PEN
sions is proposed to S12 per month, which
would give SIS year more 10 those who
are now receiving s96 year. Chairman
Wilson has estimated that about 81, oO0. 600
dollars extra is added TO the already enor-
nous pension budget.
This Mexican war pension act is serrie,
pension bill which the Democrats desire to
increase. while st the same time they wish
TO repeal the dependent pension act. which
is not Il service pension act at all.

Washington were a community, not Of
small land owners, but OF many wretched
land holders hiring little patches of few
rich land owners.
Over population and vicious land tenure
chiefly explain why labor is ill-fed and
wretched in Europe. France is a nation
OF small farmers and loses little by emf
grafton; Germany loses largely by enigra-
ton. England loses less population than
Germany because there is no compulsory
military service or constitutional tyranny.
Macaulay said that when we became as
thickly settled as Belgium and England
we would be as miserable as Europe. He
forgot that We shall always be better off
than Europe because, as nation OF small
land holders and petty property holders,
we shall be more comfortable and happy
than the working many of England, robbed
and ruled by the land-hoiding few. Our
radical difference of political polity is our
security.

RADICAL RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

The South Carolina legislature, not con-
tent with taxing the railroads of the state
to the limit Of endurance, has passed
new law which takes their management,
to considerable extent, out of the hands
Of their owners and officers and places it
in the hands OF a state commission, elected
by popular vote. These commissioners
need not be experts Of any kind, and need
never have seen railroad train so far as
the statutory requirement goes. Any
white citizen of the state over % years of
age is eligible to election as railroad COM
missioner.
This law gives railroad commission of
farmers the power to fix, absolutely and
without appeal, freight and passenger
rates for all he railroads in the state. Not
only may it dictate rates on single lines,
but it may make joint rates between two
or more connecting roads. Under the new
law all contracts between railroad COM
panies as to rates must be approved by the
commission before they can go into effect,
and the commissioners can bind the roads
to such joint or contract rates as they
choose To insist upon. The railroads must
now run such trains, at such times, and
make such connections as in the judgment
of the commissioners the public conve-
nience may require, regardless Of how the
connections of these railroads at their
terminals are affected.
These South Carolina farmer legislators
are stupid enough to think that they can
regulate their own state railroad system
without any regard to the great system of
the country. This South Carolina legisla-
ton il carrying state control of railroads
to an absurd and ruinous extreme. The
outh Carolina railroads are already in a
bad way financially. No road, it is re-
ported, is earning more than enough to
barely pay operating expenses, and hardly
enough to make necessary repairs. If
rates are reduced by the commission, the
result, it is said, will be the bankruptcy of
one or more of the railroads. The South
Carolina railroad is already in the hands
of receiver. South Carolina is simply
repeating the stupid conduct of the
Granger legislature of Wisconsin in 1874.
A strong popular reaction was the conse-
quence then and South Carolina will
know more in few years than she does
TODAY.

The session of sixty days is not time
enough for deliberation and good work by
competent hands, but it is time enough,
and more than time enough, if the legisia-
ture is composed of inferior material. The
ordinary legislature contains few level
headed men who are competent and judi
cious, but the majority are generally
neither qualified by experience, judgment
or common sense for the serious work of
legislation. A good lawyer. other things
being equal. makes the best legislator. A
legislature always includes number Of
chronic "cranks" and cheap demagogues
and fellows who are there with a private
ak to grind, or are voices of the lobby that
assemblies for revenue only.
A short session demands prompt and
decisive action. The great majority Of the
food of bills introduced are either I'M
worthy or unnecessary, and should be re-
jected without loss of time. for there
is plenty of legitimate legislation to &C.
cupy the sixty days The weakness OF
every legislature is that it contains 80
many new and inexperienced men; the
ut" IL taxes Luen
half OF the session to master their work;
and TO know each other, SO that there is
only about thirty days left for downright
hard work resulting in efficient and up
right legislation. To save time all I'M
necessary bills and measures should be dis
missed as soon as possible. If this is not
done, in the hurry that always comes at
the close bills are forced through that are
inludicious and bills of importance are
emasculated by amendment. Sixty DAYS
is sufficient il the members were all expe-
rienced and both ready and willing to
push work, and sixty days is not too
much for good work well done.
1t is a noteworthy fact that the same
causes which enfeeble the constitution of
legislatures in the United States are present
in Europe. NJ. Leroy Beaulieu, in the
Economist of the 10th ult., says:
Except when moved by great events to inde-
pendence and clear Judgment the electoral body
allows Itself TO be influenced by altogether
minor considerations. In the large towns il is
matter OF chance, an amusement. an attempt TO
excel In extr9vsganco. In the rural districts
the object sought is the qualification of petty
or local acknowledgement appropriation for road
or school, the discharge of teacher who
Is disliked, the hope of some small Office
In the postal or customs department.. etc.
the idea that may DO excused
from military service or may obtain privileges
or leaves OF absence. These are the manspr
oi legislative action except in times of storm and
stress: all else is pretense and uuimportant
such are the petty motives that influence the
representatives. And the more scheming and
tricky tho man, tue more likely he 10 TO defeat
IN opponent with higher sense of dignity and
honesty. III every country the chances are that
its electoral representation viii show an aver
age morality inferior 10 the average morality Of
the nation at large. II is well that this truth
which may be verified by any one, should be
proclaimed and never forgotten.

fected with the brutal anti-Semitic craze,
and some of them would probably be
elected on the pledge to promise their sup
port TO the government, only conditioned
on the enactment of laws against the Jews
that the emperor Of Germany could never
