A New Currency Plan.

Ex-Governor Merriam, of Minnesota,
one of the ablest OF western bankers,
has devised a tentative plan for cur
rency reform which he thinks would
satisfactorily fulfil four essential condl-
tions. First, It would provide a cur
rency safe and properly secured; sec
ondly. 1t would at all times be redeem
able in gold or It's equivalent; thirdly.
II would circulate at par in all parts
OF the United States; and fourthly. It
would be sufficiently elastic to accom-
modate itself. automatically. to the
varying conditions Of trade. We give
j Glow a summary Of the plan, as out
lined at length by It's author before
recent meeting OF bankers at Atlanta.
Let. say. 40 per cent. OF the capital
stock Of a National bank be invested
On United States notes, and circulation
be issued against the same, the bills re-
manning in the hands of the treasurer,
and currency to an amount equal to the
remaining GO per cent. Of the capital
stock to be delivered to the bank by the
comptroller for Issuance when desired.
Before the unsecured currency is for
warded. however, each bank should
pay into the treasury Of the United
States sum equal to per cent. Of It's
capital stock, which should remain
in, the hands.of the treasurer as Bank
Circulation Safety Fund. and upon
which the government would pay per
cent. interest In case of the failure
OF any National bank the government
could at once reimburse itself out OF
the redemption fund, provided the as
sets Of the failed bank. upon which It
should have a first lien, should prove
insufficient. The government, in cases
where both these securities are insult
flcient, may assess each bank IN the
system, pro rata, to an amount sufii-
cient to fully indemnify 1t for any losses
incurred, provided In any one year no
bank shall be thus assessed more than
per cent. Of its average circulation
for the previous year.

The emphatic denial of State Treas
urer jackson that he has ever drawn.
into his personal account, so much as
one dollar Of interest on the large bal
ances OF state funds which are kept by
him on deposit among designated banks
will be believed. So far as this denial
goes 1t is undoubtedly gratifying. But
there remains. for years unaccounted
for. the anomalous fact that the COM
n,orwealth has not received penny OF
interest on these balances. although
they have long averaged as much as
100000
It IS absurd 10 suppose that any prl-
vate depositor would be willing to ap-
portion $4,000. 900 among thirty or forty
banks without demanding a cent Of in
terest. The capitalist who should rest
content with the idlaness and non-pro-
ductiveness of so much money. year af-
ter year, would be looked upon by the
business community as OF unsound
mind: and If he had heirs, they would
doubtless feel justified In applying to
court for an examination as TO his san
ity Why. then. should the state OF
Pennsylvania exhibit Indifference to the
item of interest under similar circum-
stances? The city Of Philadelphia
draws interest on its smaller balances.
The city Of Pittsburg, educated by the
scandal in its city's attorneys Office, Is
preparing TO exact interest on Its BAL
ances. Yet here is the vastly larger
government of the state, with reserve
funds reaching into the millions. calm
ly ignoring the same subject At two
per cent. 10 would draw $50. 900 a year,
more than enough to pay the whole ex-
pense of the new Superior court.
It Is probable that Governor Hastings
will address a message to the next legis-
lature asking for the passage Of legls-
lation placing this subject on business
footing. He has recently expressed, In
decided terms. the opinion that public
funds should draw interest for the pub
lies benefit. Captain Haywood, the
Republican candidate for state treas
urer, could not do more timely thing
than to pledge himself, in his letter Of
acceptance. to the correction Of the
present slip-shod method of handling
state moneys.

Luzerne's Judicial Battle.

The morning organ Of the Luzerne
Democracy Is UP to It's old tricks. 1t
seeks to create prejudice because some
of the papers in this city have called at
tention to the gross impropriety In
yolved in the partisan candidacy OF Mr.
Mclean for a position on the bench Of
a court that already contains two Dem
ocratic and no Republican law Judges.
As one Of those papers The Tribune re-
asserts its right to warn Its many Lu-
zerne county readers against the un-
wisdom OF voting for a wholly partisan
judiciary. 1t considers that the char
acter of the Luzerne bench Is fairly a
matter Of concern to Pennsylvanlans
everywhere. and especially to the in
habitants OF section whose legal In
terests often overrun county lines.
In this connection we may say. with
all Difference to the Democratic oppo-
nent of Judge Bennett, who both per-
sonally and professionally commands
our respect. that we do not believe the
intelligent citizens Of the mother coun-
ty will emulate the Wilkes-Barre News-
Dealers recent reversal Of opinion con-
cerning the expedlency Of packing their
court with judges all OF one political
faith, albeit types Of often wrangllng
Democratic factions. Signs are. not
wanting to indicate that they intend to
elect Judge Bennett by an overwhelm-
Ing majority.
