SWINGS BANKS DEPOSITS.

Some Of the depositors in savings banks in
this city are dissatisfied because the trustees do
not divide among the depOsitors any part OF the
enormous amounts which are held rs surpluses.
rhere are several savings banks in NewYork
which have a surplus exceeding $j.OO0O00 in
each case. 1t IT, Of course. OF the utmost impor-
tance that every savings bank shall retain a
surplus large enough to prevent any danger OF
disaster even in the worst Of panics. Yet Ii is
nossiblc that the trustees Of some Of these in
stitutions may AT times carry caution TO excess
in certain cases 1t may be that when sur
pluscs run far up in the millions, part Of those
amounts might be divided among the depositors
in the form Of extra interest without any dis1d-
vantage TO the welfare and prosperity Of the
institutions In any case. it IS doubtful II the
policy of spending huge sums In the erection of
magnificent buildings from which no consid-
erable return in rentals is derived Is wise and
judicious.
All of the money in every savings bank il the
nroperty OF the dcpositors who have put il there
II is not the property OF the trustees. De
positors in savings banks are not deslrous that
any part OF the money which belongs TO them
shall be invested in superb triumphs of archi-
lecture. First and foremost. they want perfect
safety for their deposits. That should always be
the first consideration. far above all others
Next. they want-and they have right TO ex-
pect-the highest rate Of interest consistent with
absolute safety and security. There is no good
reason why trustees of savings banks should
be allowed to use the money which belongs to
dcposiiors in costly marbles. in elaborate cary
ings. in stately masterpieces. which cmbody the
companies and private corporations whose stock
holders vote to put up majestic constructions
the cost Of which runs UP into lofty figures, may
properly perhaps indulge their fancles in the
erection Of towering and impressive edtces
Savings banks trustees should not be permitted
to misuse the money Of the depos!tors in archI.

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD DEBT.

In his annual report to Congress Secretary

necessity for some legislation on the part of
Congress TO provide for definite settlement
of the debts of the Pacific Railroad TO the Gov
ernmcnt Something over S400OOO0 Of the
bonds originally Issued TO the Central Pacific and
Kansas Pacific have already matured and been
paid by the United States. In January $1,000

in the same month $G4O.0OO Of the bonds issued
to the Union Pacific. The entire debt amount

and all this by Power for whose existence they
are responsible and for whose good behavior
thcv have long stood surety. And they have not
ventured to speak one brave word, or to strike

Why not? Germany, chief marplot in the

The story Of an old man building Pennsyi-

Middle Age romance more than nineteenth CEN

men now but when they want to build church
they generally draw a check for the amount ana

recalls the stone carving Of monks. and he did
not even have religious community to encour-
axe him in his work.
