The Bankers Magazine.

Our time-honored institutions pursuing the
even tenor of their way, and keeping abreast
with the progressive spirit of the times, are
the worthiest of all of our admiration as a
guide through untried fields of the future
The people, imbued as they should be with
this admiration can scarcely err in drawing
lessons from the old fountains of informa-
ton for their growth and prosperity. OF the
many features of government, those inter
weven with the finances of the country are
the most complex and difficult Of solution
Just at this time what is, and what should be
the currency and the basis of money, all of
equal values, has turned loose the floods of
thought and opinion, enough to engulf, so to
speak, the wisest, the best, and the most
valued of all that can be drawn from the
masses and confusion of counsels in ex-
lstence -
Referring to what are and should be es
teemed institutions of the country, we rate
the able and continuing and concentrated
common source of expression, have had in
charge for half century any department of
our political economy, especially that vital
feature which underlies the financial stability
of our great and expanding country.
The reflections expressed above have arisen
after opening and glancing through the pages
of the Bankers Magazine, which with I'M
wearied diligence and consummate ability,
and upon a broad and patriotic basis has for
fifty years stood foremost in our American
literature upon the line indicated by its title.
Verify, then, it is in truth an institution
which the financial and commercial interests
OF our country cannot dispense with, and as a
constant reader of Its pages for more than
forty years, We cannot refrain from rendering
our humble tribute of praise, especially as it
takes upon itseli new lease of life with en-
larging facilities and in theasasss
editorial effort as announced III HI IL 4

A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.-Mrs.
Flora G. Wetzler, wife of John T.
Wetzler, a clerk in the Government
Printing Office, and An eX-policeman,
WI fatally burned about $50 o'clock
Sunday afternoon, at her home, 511 T
street, northeast Washington. State
ments made by the neighbors. police,
and family are at variance, and lead to
the suggestion that the affair was not
an accident, but the result of a family
jar. At all events the unfortunate
woman was seen to run from her house
completely nude in the biting cold
and endeavOr to open the door of a
neighbours house. 1t was locked, and
she ran back to her own residence and
found thaMocked also. She then re-
traced her steps to her neigh boris
home which she finally entered and
later emerged with a sheet or table
cloth around her body She subse-
quently received treatment for her
burns, which, it is feared, are of a
fatal nature. The affair seems wrapp-
ed in mystery, though her husband
AYERS her clothing took fire from an
oil stove. Mrs. Wetzler died Monday
from her injuries.
