HARD ON DEPOSITORS.

The Australian banks are reported to
have come to the conclusion that tempo
rary confiscation of deposits is a n necessary
condition to a resumption Of business.
The necessity is discussed in the Pacific
Banker and InUestor by Mr.. Ward. re-
Gently from Australia. Mr.. Ward urges
confiscaton for the reason that liquidation
is a slow process, and would involve great
sacrifices of property. Another objection
to liquidation is the doubt II the banks can
stand it. In other words. it is feared that
assets would melt away under the depre-
citation of property values that would at
tend liquidation on a largo scale. The
bank failures in Australia are attributed
to the undue absorption of ca pital in enter
prises n OF Immediately productive. These
enterprises, or at least many OF them, failed
to meet their obligations, aud this drain
upon the banks was followed by loss Of
confidence on the part Of depositors. The
banks appear to have loaned out the money
deposited with them 10 such an extent that
they had little left to meet run with
Rather than pay out what little they had,

in Queensland II per cent of the whole is

in New South Wales 30 and in South Aus
tralia 40. Depositors prefer suspension
of right to draw their money to the abso-
]ute loss which would result from liQuida-
ton. This utter wiping out Of assets is
hardly consistent with the claim that there
is money enough in the world to do the
worlds business. Ii there were, a consid-
cradle depreciation in values in one part OF
the world would attract capital from parts
in which the disturbance was not felt.

TO DO OR NOT TO DO.

Governor William Mckinley has written
letter to the New York Press IN which
he expresses the hope that the admins
tration will declare its purpose TO abandon
the free-trade policy announced In Its p at
form. Mr.. Mckinley says:
We have got everything now that we had
last year except confidence and prosperity.
We have the same rich country the same
wealth Of resources, the same money. the same
people. What we have this year which we aid
not have last year is the new management
which the people last November put IN charge
Of The Governmental management pledged by
every party obligation 10 the abandonment of
a protective tariff. and which obligation the
Democratic leaders still insist they must keep.
II The new political management does not
mean TO carry out the policy as promised, and l
sincerely hope it does not good consciencs and
good morals demand that II allay the universal
alarm by promptly announcing that it has
abandoned II.
Mr.. Mckinley does not probably expect
the Democratic leaders to follow his sug-
geston. 1t is not in human nature to do
So. 1t would be very grand if Mr.. Cleve-
land and other leaders would admit that
the theory they have entertained is inl-
would be more disastrous than a trial of
their theory with disappointing results.
When policy fails one may always say
that it would have succeeded in the end
if sustained long enough, but when fail
ure is anticipated there is no ground upon
which to make failure stand. Still it is
not probable that the party will carry out
the policy outlined in the Chicago plat
form. 1t may not even make serious
effort to do so. twill probably pass bill
making some changes in the present tariff
in the direction of a tariff for revenue,
and there it will be likely to rest. The
Democrats will not dare to impose duties
on tea. coffee and sugar. and without a
large revenue from these sources tariff
cannot be framed that will produce tn
needed revenue.

grown the usefulness Of the pioneer
steamer Of the line, the st. Paul. which
has accordingly been translated to some
other sphere. The largest steamers are
needed for the isthmus trade. and the

it is not necessary to place the rates DeIow

The loss Of $40, 900. 600 to Chicago by the
fair sits lightly on the individuals who
have parted with their money. Large
numbers of them declare that they did not
expect cent back. Ii it came back they
would say good and well. but they would
not worry about the loss. This is the
right sort of public spirit In an enterprise
to benefit whole city. The return comes
to Chicago in another form. 1t is boast
that no other city in the Union could have
done what Chicago has achieved. No
other city Is likely to have the chance
until within the next century, and New
York will then have less room than now.

THE CHRYSALIS STAGE.

In a thoughtful installment of post
prandiaI philosophy" which he contributes
to the Westminster Gazette. Grant Allen
Eliminates on the analogy between an in
sect in the chrysalis stage and society in
its present condition Of unrest aud transit
ton. In the last stage of its chrysalis de-
velopment the insect is in a state Of col
lapse, and dissolution seems to overiake it,
but this is only the fading out Of an i'm
mature process in its life history. and pres
ently new being auickens into different
form and emerges a perfect butterfly
what seemed like chaos" says Mr.. AL
len, Twas really nothing more than the
necessary kneading up of all component
parts into a plastic condition which pre-
cedes every fresh departure in evolution.
The old must fade before the new can re-
place"
Applying this illustration Mr.. Allen
fancies that communities sometimes pass
through just such chrysalis stage. Dur
ing the period Of perturbation and change
the timij are alarmed about what is to
happen and pessimistic forecasts of disas-
ter and destruction are put forward, but this
foreboding is founded good deal on APP
prehension of what will befail themselves
and their ideas OF the fitness of things.
Europe, he imagines, is passing through
Just such period of reconstruction and
will emerge from it translated and trans
figured. Laws and faiths aud morals will
all of them have altered. There will be a
new heaven and new earth for the men
and women of the new epoch" 1t will
not be reconstruction on lines acceptable
or desired by this or that person. but in
this churning and bubblng up in the melt
ipg-pot what will come forth Is a COM
promise of practical reality, ana not any
special Utopia. Some consolation may be
extracted from the conclusion that at all
events what comes out Of the chrysali lis
will be butterfly, not a grub. The new
organization will take shape in improve
ment-an evolution Of betterment.
That there are signs of preparation for
this Transformation or higher development,
call it what we will, few who look around
with keen scrutiny will dispute. The
eagerness with which the new ideas in
Hellamy's Looking Backward" and
Georges "Progress and Poverty" were as.

the struggle for insight and advancement

ceptive mood. and that leap III the dark

were quite repellent less than genera
ton ago. and the old notions OF the con-
stitution and order of society which suited
the bygone centuries and still hold. but

POOR CAR FACILITIES.
San Bruno Citizens at the Mercy of

ANXIOUS FOR A FIRE ENGINE.
Noe Valley Wishes the Firehouse

The Noe Valley Improvement Club held

shut off and ruined by the action of the
Supervisors in closing a strip 30xlO0 feet of
the Ocean House road for site for an
engine-house. Turpin has objected to the
closing OF the road, as 1t will render value
less over 60 feet of his property. He de-
clares that he intends to bring a suit
