THE COUNTRY CHECK EVIL.
Boston Banks Formulate "a Plan Tor
Its Mitigation.


The evil of country checks in the minds of
metropolitan bankers and mechants has long
been a Vexed and unsolved question The
problem has been whether they should be
accepted by metropolitan merchants and
bankers at par, whether banks should ac-
cept them as cash and collect them free of
cost to the customer, or how much exchange
should be charged upon them.
All these questions have been discussed
over and over again; various plans have been
suggested for remedying the evil; national
clearing house for the purpose has been pro-
posed the organization of a bank to buy and
collect country checks was suggested, but
none of the suggested plans was ever con-
summated. The National Credit Mems As
ISOLATION went to the root of the evil by in
augurating a movement to induce metropOl-
itan merchants-that is, merchants in all the
large cities-to refuse to accept country
checks from their country customers at par
in payment for goods purchased, but what
success had attended the movement is not
known.
at least fOrty-two out of the total number,
have however, at last taken hold of the
matter and formulated a plan for remedying
the evil complained Of, so far as New Eng
land is concerned. by a separate clearing
house system for such checks on the banks
in that territory. Briefly stated, that plan,
as outlined by Boston banker to-day Is
that while no bank in the association can be
compelled to join the country clearing, so,
too, the abstention of banks cannot prevent
| its successful operation provided. only, that a
majority at a meeting of the Boston Clear
ing-house Association vote TO carry out the
| New England correspondents of every Bos-
| ton bank will be brought to the country
| clearing. They will be brought there whether
! the Boston correspondent participates or not.
| They will be settled for there in the same
| time whether it participates or not. The
! country correspondent of Boston hank that
does not participate will receive checks on
| itself in the same time as If its Boston cor
respondent forwarded them. and 1t Will have
| TO settle for them in the same time that, or
| sooner than. its Boston CORE spOndent would
| have settled for them. The plan is made
elastic TO bear any strain.
| clearing win be held for country checks
| each day at l O'Clock for the Interchange
among the Boston banks of checks on their
| correspondents in the country, that is in all
/ New England outside of Boston. The plan
| has been worked out in detail, and according
/ to New York bankers. bids fair to be a sue
| cess If it is put into operation. 1t is claimed
/ that the plan will enable every bank TO
/ know at once the cost of collecting country
I items. and, therefore to know at sight the
value of accounts in which they figure, thus
! enabling banks to determine which OF their
| accounts are profitable and which not.

Of this plan will be TO submit the matter TO

When Yousouf. the gigantic Turkish
wrestler who was drowned in the wreck of

ful and massive though they are, to cope
with the Turks on even terms.
such results of competition between our
wrestlers and the champions of the Levant
are not Hattering to American pride. We
nave been accustomed to believe that in
physical proWesS, as well as in higher at
tributes, we are second to no other people
or the world: 1t has been the fashion TO

about Turkey understood that the great
mass OF the Turkish population are frugal,
Woodworking and accustomed to severe
conditions of life. but the popular impress
sion in this country was very different 1t
was not supposed that any Oriental people
could rival the best athletes of western Eu-
rope and America.
In the light of recent exhibitions of the
prowess of Turkish wrestlers, this opinion
will have to be revised. II will be we'll to
go a little further and admit that in many
respects the physical capabilities of some
Asiatic races are second to none in the
world. The Chinese. for example have
truly marvellous powers of protracted and

apparent harm conditions which would be
almost impossible for Europeans or Amer

were somewhat dimmed by the fact that
he had an abnormally long nose. People

Cyrano resented insult, and his deformity
only served to heighten his splendid quail

The Cyrano of the play loves his cousin

a young and handsome man. Christian de

the ugly man OF her love, and begs him to
befriend his rival in the wars and to pro-

up the scheme of helping the lovers with a
grim desperation that is very impressive.

contrast OF the exquisite beauty of the love
