The president has transmitted to congress

Cuba. Some OF the claims are fer personal
indignities suffered. and the whole amount
10 something over a million dollars.

has been paid back by Spain. Spain was
legally responsible for the loss, but 10 in

American citizen with the exception
named. The present war has dragged along
for two years and the popular current te

TO INCREASE BANKING FACILITIES.

The bill introduced In the lower house
at Washington by Mr.. Broslus OF Pennsyl-
vania TO provide FOR the organization Of
National banks in towns of 1000 inhab-
itants and less IS measure that is recelv-
Ing no little comment. the greater part OF
II favorable, comment
II the National banking system is to be
retained as part OF our financial system
and IL ls more than probable that it will be
so retained for some years yet. there is no
reason why it should not prevail in the
smaller towns as wen as the cities. The
question raised By Mr. Broslus' iii is
apart from the greater question OF the re-
teniion or abolition Of the National bank
plan as 4 whole. and. as the courts say in
their decisions usually, It is unnecessary to
discuss now an issia' not directly sermane
10 tho pending question. The entire
ameniment proposed to tho National bank
ing law by the Pennsylvania gentleman is
as follows:
section il2S. No association shall be Or
RANKED with ese capB,al than 500 COO
nNrep, that banks wih a capital of not

not lcsl ihan $4,000 may, with the sane
lpn 81 ne s"eTo.ary OF the treasury, be

Thich 1oes NOT exceed 900 Inhabitants No
'Itociailon shall be organized In city,
81" popWHton OF which cxcetls 1000 per-
sons "ieh a capital OF LEGS than 500 COO"
II the final passage OF this amendment
should result In the establishment OF CON
siderable number OF banks in tho smaller
towns Of the country. particularly In tho
South and West. the increase IN the vol
ume OF money might prove a decided relief
to business. 1t is not the plan The Post
would suggest for the broadening OF tho
basis OF circulation. but W. shall be COM

loayes they are likely TO offer u.s. SO long

calculated to enlarge tho banking facilities

garded as partial propositions for relief.
or the National banks In existence nearly
three-fourths OF them are east OF the Mis-
sissippi and north OF the ohio and Poto-
mac, and as the law now stands no bank
can DO organized with capital OF less
than $4,000. This Brosius bill permits
banks OF $4,000 capital to be organized Ia
towns OF 1900 or 1000 or 5000 Inhabitants,
where no bank exists and where a capital
OF $4,000 could not be raised for the pur-

that Mr.. Plat obtained the caucus nomina-
ton for the New York senatorship by the
most odous criminal methods, and that his
support comes only from the most abomlna-
Bile elements Of society. We say 1t is dull
stuff-stupid. false and vicious.
The simple truth OF the matter is that
Mr. Plat is man OF the highest personal
character, of the very best commercial and
financial standing, and OF extraordinary
ability and force. For years he has been
at the head of one OF the most important
corporations in the country. and has lifted
its credit and repute beyond the reach Of
Cevil. He is esteemed and trusted by his
associates. He has the respect and conf
dence OF the business world. Neither as an
Individual, nor as a citizen, nor as Il guam
tity In the commercial equation is there
one word to be said against him truthful
ly. He is a man of affairs, shrewd, clean
handed, wise, conservative and just. lie
will serve New York intelligently and
faithfully in the senate-far better than
any of the cranks, hypoorites aud fanatics
who are now assailing him so bitterly be-
cause he does not happen to subscribe to all
their fea Their headed methods, policies and
plans. They hate him as the politically III
vertebrate always hate the virile and the
stalwart They are not harming him In
the esteem of decent and honest folk. They
are only earning the contempt OF those who
understand the situation.
or course Mr.. Plat doesn't trouble him
self in the least about all this. He is TOO
busy man, too thoroughly occupied with
really serious matters. too careless OF fu-
tile and insensate antagonism. He has re-
tanned his place In New York politics by
virtue OF brains, courage and good faith
He is not likely to abandon it under press
ure Of a few insignificant indictments.
