The circumstances surrounding the
election of Mr.. Hayes to the presidency
and the rather colorless character of his
administration had the effect of belittling
him in the minds of not few of his
countrymen. But he was not a cheap
man or a bad one. On the contrary, he
had ability, courage and a strong desire
to administer faithfully the affairs of the
high Office to which he was chosen by a
properly constituted tribunal. He was
quite as great man as some of his pre-
decessCrs and successors. 1t is, there
fore, absurd for Mr.. Cleveland's friends
to apologize for the president-eIect's at
tendance upon the funeral and to seek to
excuse it on one or another ground.

Fact that Phoenix Leads.

Phoenix people without good cause
lament their inability to purchase goods
at prices they used to pay in the east,
in California or elsewhere they may
have happened to come from. A COM
parison is frequently made with Los
Angeles which is invidious to Phoenix
and the compliments wish that they
could do their trading at Los Angeles
that paradise Of low prices.
The complaints though are usually
based on imagination rather tnan
actual experience a. the following letter

THE results of boarding money In
safety deposit vaults are very serious
but are easily told by the New York
Times in these words:
"The great lesson of the time is the
exceeding peril of a loss Of confidence
and the consequent contraction OF
credit. That it is that checks the
operation OF the forces in the great fab
ric of trade and threatens it with paral-
ysis. 1t leads to refusal of advances
and forcing Of payments. It makes Dor
rowing hard and interest high. 1t CON-
pels selling and restricts buying. It
forces banks to suspend and drives
prosperous men to bankruptcy. At the
same time, it reduces the efficiency of
currency by making it circulate more
slowly, and contracts its volume because
timid persons withdraw 1t from banks
and withhold it from investments.
These are elementary truths, but they
are not generally appreciated"
The larger the business the larger ia the
credit needed for it's transaction. Bust,
ness in Montana has been carried on by
great concerns employing very large
forces of men. So long as the money is
kept out OF aight just that long mus,
depression continue. Credit cannot re-
turn until there is money to loan,

THE record of bank failures shows
that the situation as it is IS by no
means so bad as the croakers would
have us believe. Comptroller Eckels'
report yesterday showedtha Jos national
banks had shut their doors. OF these
only 81 were placed in charge of a re-
c%eiver, fourteen had resumed business,
and in a majority Of instances the pros
poets for re-opening are very bright. II
Is interesting also to know that next to
tho Now England states the northwest
shows fewer failures.
