GOOD TEMPORARILY, But

The proposition Of the New York
clearing house, that all the clearing
ho lses band together to issue negoti.
able certificates, is good as a make.
shift, as it will undoubtedly relieve
the existing pressure.
But that is as far as it will prove
beneficial; while the scheme is fraughl
with danger to the masses, as the
clearing houses can recall these Ger.
tificates at any time that they see fit,
and thus precipitase the very disaste,
"a panic-which all Ar.seeine
people are seeking to avert.
Instead of certificates issued bv tn,
clearing houses, why cannot the gov
eminent issue certificates based or
silver?
The former would have nothin,
but the comparatively few bankers il

Apparently Comptroller of the
Currency Eckels has arrived at the
conclusion that some, at least, among
the many bank directors of the coun>
try have not sufficient sense of the
responsibilities which they assume
under tho national banking law.
With the view of bringing more
closely home to them the liabilities
which they incur, he has had circular
prepared in which the provisions of
the law defining the duties and obi.
cations of bank directors are set forth,
and prescribing the penalties for
neglect of duty. 1t is the intention
OF the Comptroller to forward q copy
of this circular to each directo,
whenever rev bank is estab>
lished. He says that it will
be his endeavor to make bank
directors understand that they are
liable under the law for the fulfillmen,
Of their duty to stockholders and de.
positors. The matter is one worthy
Of the Comptroller's attention. II
some cases, it is to be feared, persona
who accept positions in bank direc,
torates have hardly an adequate sens,
of what their acceptance of such posi-
lions involves.

This is a competition of rather an un-
usual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for the
amount Of the prize. But the Press
