THE GOOD THAT rIAY COME.

1t is not known exactly how much money
in excess of the average was paid out on
Friday. An official of the Hibernia
Bank is reported as saying that the bank
had saved some $4,000 in interest that
would have become due depositors al the
eud of the term. This of course is loss
to the depositors. even if no other loss
results from the possession of money Tor
which there is no immediate use. The
good that will result may be included
under two heads-confdenc in our banks
will be confirmed, and there are several
hundred thousand dollars loose that may
be turned into industrial enterprises. Saw
ings banks should be safe places for
money, but the conditions which make
them so limit their field of operations. The
saving banks must always bear in mind
that the money it receives may be called
for at short notice. 1t has consequently
little discretion in the way CT making in
vestments.
1t cannot loan money on security the
officers of the bank would accept for their
own money. 1t follows, therefore, that
when money gets into savings bank on
time deposit 1t moves reluctantly. 1t draws
good interest and gives no trouble. Dvi-
dends are ready every six months, and if
not called for begin in turn to earn money.
To men whose faculties have not been
sharpened by active business a savings
bank deposit is an excellent thing to have.
But, on the other hand, savings banks alb
sorb money that is needed for legitimate
industrial enterprises. In State like
this. where nature is so generous, there
should be no such thing as business stag

labor and capital combined could do with
profit that there is no excuse for either to

A HAZARDOUS EXPERIMENT.

Supervisor Refs makes use of the Exam
iner to explain why he proposes to vote
for tax levy in excess of that he prom
ised to maintain. He says: THE present
Board of Supervisors is pledged to keep
the expenses of the city within the dollar
limit during its administration. and 1t will
do it. There need be no fear about that"
But Mr.. Refs proposes to add TO the dollar
levy a per cent sufficient TO pay the debts
of the last board. 1t should be manifest to
q man of Mr.. REFS intelligence that the
dolar-limit pledge amounts to nothing if
one board may levy an extra tax to pay
the debts of preceding board.
The only possible way TO limit
the expenditure of the city is to limit
the tax levy. The Supervisors cannot con-
troll the expenditures of the heads OF de-
partments in any other way. 1t can limit
the money it will extract from the people,
but it cannot prevent an expenditure 1t has
provided for. This condition was so well
understood that nominating conventions
have required aspirants for the position of
Supervisor to pledge themselves not to i'm
pose tax in excess of 1 per cent on
fixed taxable basis. If one administration
may incur debts which the succeeding one
may pay by al extra tax levy, the dollar
limit has no value as a check upon ex-
travagance. Mr.. Refs says that this adj
ministration will keep within the
dollar limit. How does ne know
it will? How can he prevent
the departments from mourning debts for
the next administration to settle? The last
board tried to keep expenses down to the
limit. At the head OF the Finance Com
mittee was the present Mayor, who has
never shown disposition to tritle with
his pledge. He gave no sanction TO the
debts the head of departments incurred.
May not the present heads of departments
run into debt in spite of all Mr.. Refs can
do to prevent it?
Ex-Justice Thornton has informed the
board how the debts Of the last board may
be paid. ANY proposition to raise more
money than the tax levy OF the year pro-
vides must be submitted to the people.
The process is similar to that of voting on
a bond proposition.
Justice Thornton also saws that tax
levy this year to pay the debts of the last
administration may he held to invalidate
the entire levy. The matter of Importance
is not whether an extra sum of $500, 200
shall be raised by means of taxation, but
whether the safeguards against unlimited
taxation shall be removed. No municipal
convention proposes. in the face of an
election, to abolish the limit, bur officials
seem quite ready to disregard the limi!
after election. Ii the board follows the
lead of Mr. Refs the Democratic party will
90 before the people in 1894 with the rec
ord of having, so far as their action could
do so abolished the dollar limit III thew
think municipal campaign can be won
on that record they are at liberty to try
the experiment.

A POOR RULE.

A New York paper commends Wayne
MacVeagh for the spirited manner in
which he handled the claim Of a cab
driver who wanted 81 so for two or three
hours drive about the city. The distin-
guished Philadelphia lawyer hauled the
offending driver to police station, where
the charge was reduced TO 81 So 1t is
said that Mr.. MacVeagh did not care a
copper for the 50 he saved, but was
actuated by a high determination not to
pay more for thing than the law allows.
OF course, it is impossible not to ad-
mire Mr.. MacVeagh in the attitude
of man standing up for his
rights. but at the same time he is exposed
to the charge of setting dangerous pre-
cedent. Would members of the profes-
sion of which Mr.. MacVeagh is so dis
tinguished an ornament like to have
their charges examined by cold-blooded
police officer? Is it not almost necessary
10 maintain little elasticity in the matter
of charges so that compensation for
unavoidable loss may be possible. Law
yers do this and so do doctors. Rich
patrons are made to bear the costs of poor
ones. Probably the cab-driver did not
know MacVeagh and had no assurance
that he would get even his legal charges
when he took the passenger. 1t is poor
rule that will not work both ways.

country resort. Between shots he can
look out upon brown fields and listen to
the impalpable hum which only serves to
emphasize rural stiffness. The atmosphere
is warmer than it would be in San Fran
cisco. and there is less of it, but the change
is healthful to mind and body. Men also
find bathrooms and picnics more attractive
II the resorts than in towns. The sum-
mer girl in her rural costume is either
prettier or more companionabe than the
winter girl in town. And then there
is the vast difference between the hum
drum of earning money and the ex-
element of spending it. In towns most
men limit their expenditures in vacation
time the only limit is the bottom of ones
pocket There is some reason therefore in
the summer exodus even from San Fran
cisco. There is more comfort here than in
the resorts, but when one has had comfort
fifty weeks in the year he goes eagerly for
a little discomfort.

FERRY OPPOSITION.

1t would have been q miracle of COM
placency and corporation not to say
brotherly love had the Whitney Com
pany found that their enterprise was
welcomed by the Southern Pacific. The
owners of the new ferry assert the prin-
ciple of the wholesomeness of competition,
and they would indeed live in a fools
paradise if they did not expect retaliation
from those who are in possession. The
Southern Pacific clings tenaciously to any
enterprise which it has set on foot, and as
this one of bay traffic is the most profitable
of all, it is not likely to surrender any
vantage willingly. AS the Whitney Com
pany must have been prepared to en-
counter defiance and stratagems of every
kind, its true philosophic part is TO go
ahead with what it has undertaken to do.
There is traffic sufficient for more than
TWO lines across bay which has 45O 600
population settled around its eastern and
western sides. and the Whitney Company
can rely upon capturing a fair share of
freight and passengers by maintaining a
good service. 1t need not shock the COM
pany to find that the monopoly has reached
out to seize every unemployed steamer
likely to be of service. There is now
dearth of free vessels. The Southern Pa
cifc has suddenly walked up 10 the convic-
ton that it can find some species OF active
employment for them all. even if they lie
Idle. 1t is better they should gather weeds
than be kept silvery bright in opposition
ferriage. Last Sunday the Silva carried
1900 passengers. and it might have doubled
the number had there been accommoda-
ton. A second steamer was sadly needed.
This drawback the company has endeav-
ored to correct. but it is doubtful whether
it has succeeded. If the Silva itself could
be got at no doubt the Southern Pacific
would put that in the dock also. But in
one thing the company can defy check
mating. 1t can build another steamer and
design il precisely to suit its traffic A
ferry-bnat for passengers alone has never
been tried on this bay on the Oakland
route. 1t would have advantages in per-
haps third greater speed than the pres
! ent class of steamers. But that is matter
for the COM pany to consider. and it is OBJ
vious that whatever is done 1t cannot sac
rifce its freight business. In a year or
two other ferries across the bay will be in
operation. The wharf near the Judson
works is being pushed far out into the
bay, and proper ferry docks will be con-
| structed. The Dayie company processes
to be in earnest at another point on the
eastern side. These are all signs OF a
scramble for public patronage. and with
lower fares there must be great increase
! of travel.

STRENGTH OF OUR BANKS.

No banks in the United States have
been more conservative in their dealings
than the banks of San Francisco. They
are as sound as the Bank of England.
Those who are familiar with the banking
business have been amazed to see the
strength of their reserve. and have won
dered how, with such mass Of idle money
in their vaults, they could earn dividends
on their capital When the last bank re-
port was made, on June l, 1892. the fifteen
commercial banks OF San Francisco owed
their depositors S26.S10. 332 against which
they held in coin $4,000. $780, besides their
Government bonds, other bonds and real
estate and commercial paper. No such
showing car be made by the banks of any
Eastern city, The last New York bank
statement showed that the banks of that
city owed their depositors SUB 663. 100, and
that their total reserve in coin and legal
tenders was only $40, 100000. Our banks
are relatively just twice as strong as the
New York banks. They are, in fac, even
stronger than the statement shows. be-
cause. since it was made, our banks have
been terrifying against possible trouble.
There are in this city ten savings banks.
including the PEOPLES, which closed its
doors and claimed the benefit of the law on
Thursday. Omittng this bank the nine
remaining banks owed when the last state
ment was made on July 1, 1892. 500, 505-
500 to their depositors. AgansG this they
held in coin 50, $50, 9s5 (the Peoples Bank
being again omitted). Sic, 945. $40 invested
in shares and stocks which are convertible
into coin. aud SO. 661. 1873 loaned on similar
securities-in other words, bout $50, 000 900
available to pay off depositors without
touching their loans on first mortgage on
city real estate. Some Of the leading saw
ings banks are relatively stronger than this.
When the last statement was made the
Hibernia held S5,5S0.25 in money and
Government bonds to meet S27, ia, 703 of
deposits, besides its loans on real estate.
Those who take fright when a weak
bank fails often sacrifice their own in ter
ests. Large sums of money are not a
handy thing to have round the house; it is
apt to attract burglars as molasses attracts
flies No place is as safe as a sound saw
ings bank, and there are a number of
them. The collapse of the Pacific Bank
and its tender, the Peoples Home, was
long ago foregOns conclusion. Any one
who knew the facts and understood bank
ing could have predicted the event. It's
failure should no more lead to a general
distrust Of banks than the wreck of ship
should warn every one against going to
sea.

JAY GOULD'S HEIRS.

Although Jay Gould's heirs come into
the snug sum of S1o.000,000 each in con-
sideration of their condescension in being
born they are making fight over State
law taxing inheritsnces. The State claims
$750,000, but the heirs think the valuation
on which that amount was assessed too
high. The heirs are content to give
S500.000. but will fight to save the other
S250,00o. George Gould contends that the
S5,000.000 his father gave him for ser
vices" does not come under the terms of
inheritances. Probably Mr.. George Gould
thinks that his Services" were worth
S5.000.000 in addition to the princely allow
ance he received while giving them.

SUMMER VACATION.

San Francisco is the only American city
in which life is endurable in the summer
months. But fashionable San Francisco
goes out Of town as regularly as fashion
able New York, Boston or Philadelphia
1t goes for change that is not always
either pleasant or beneficial. As a New
York paper remarks; People leave the
city in the summer to escape from the
heavy burden of social life and at once
proceed to make social life even more eX-
acting and burdensome at the resorts to
which they have fed for deliverance.
Men who will tell you that they must go
to the country to get some fresh air will
spend a good portion of their precious
two weeks vacation in the subterranean
billiard-rooms of some rural hotel. And
tired city folks who say their nerves are
shattered by the noisy hubbub of town
will ncontinently pack up their trunks and
leave any country resort that is really
quiet" Possibly there is more reason in
this apparent Inconsistency than appears
at the first glance. New surroundings
gives new zest to an old sport.
a man who has got tired of billiards in
fashionable city saloon will take pleas
ure in a game on an old-fashioned table in
