Bank Examinations

According to an estimate made by Comp
troler of the Currency Eckes in 1896, the
revenue received by the government from
national banks from 1868 to Oct. 81, 1896
above expenses, was Sl57, ,439, ,24S. The table
in full was published in the report of the
comptroller for 1896 (page 1907, and reveals
In detail the sources of this enormous in.
come. Roughly, the annual average was
81, 800, 900.
These figures will, no doubt, surprise many
people who imagine that national banks are
privileged institutions, and flourish at the
expense of the national treasury. The truth
of the matter is, says the New York Finan.
cier, that the banks contribute more lib.
orally to the support of the government than
any class of interests of approximately SINH
lar character. This being the case, it seems
rather unjust that the expense Of periodical
examinations by the government should be
fastened on the banks. The price paid for
these enforced inspections is perhaps no
higher than is commensurate with the skill
required for the work, but the results SO far
as the banks themselves are concerned, are
superficial and unsatisfactory. Ifneed not
be repeated that official bank examinations
have tailed to detect tnanipulatinns of books
covering frauds of years standing. This was
not, as rule, due to the incompetency of
the examiners, for they are, without excep.
tion, able and conscientious men, The fault
arises from the fact that the time devoted
to the work is too brief-that is if thor

Is desired One of two courses is open, if
the people are to be convinced that national
bank examinations mean more than hastv
examination of the banks hooks nm ;rsroo
tion of its collateral and verifcation of it's
obedience to the banking laws. One is to
enlarge the scope or the frequency of ex-
aminations; the other is to pay the exam
iners out of the treasury and increase their
number. 1t is true that Comptroller ia wes
has recently ordered semi-annual examina-
tons of the banks in some cities. While this
is commendable, it does not 60 far enough.
although it probably represents the full limit
of authority conferred by congress on the
comptroller's department What is really
needed is corps of public examiners paid
by the government, who are not limited as

The Eastern Bond Market

While the bond market has been quieter
this week, that department of the New ORR
Stock exchange transactions still shows con-
siderable interest and continuance of the
investment demand, which made its appear
ance immediately after the result of the
congressional elections was announced. In
some cases, says an eastern financial author
ity, new high records have been made par
ticulariy in tire bonds of the reorga nized
roads which have been placed on dividend
paying basis, or which are expected to attain
that position. In the latter connection the
bonds of the AtchIson road have been prom
iMent, though other securities of the same
class have not failed to respond to the in
i'uences in question. There has, however,
been marked Improvement, both in activ-
ity and prices, in many different issues of
railroad bonds quoted on a comparatively
low level, and it would seem that in the pres
ant state of the bond market the investing
public is searching for securities which, in
ADDITION to an income return, promise the
further advantage of an appreciation in
market value.

governmental examinations be regarded as

as we have already stated, should not be i'm

BLANCO'S FAREWELL.
Sick Of the War Business and the way
things have gone.

HAVANA, August 1S.-Gen. Blan-
cos farewell address to his army and
the people of Cuba has been made
public. 1t is a pathetic document
and in it he states that he resigns
because he can not carry out the
capitulation of the island. He has
asked the army and people to fight
to the end, he says, and he cannot
now turn around and ask them to
surrender. He came to Cuba fully
realizing the difficulties surround
ing the position he assumed but
fully determined to fight to the last.
With the conclusion of peace he
considers his work done and he
therefore resigns. He also takes a
shy at the Americans whom he
charges with waging the most un-
just war in history, at time when
Spain was least expecting it and
least prepared for it. The Cnbans
and Spanish, he says, have fought
so nobly that the Americans have
gained not foothold on the island.
Blanco says some very uncompli-
mentary things about the other
Spanish generals and admirals and
those in authority.

A DESERVED REBUKE.

He could not find anyone willing to rent a

him, so he didn't get to speak at all.
This was just right. We have great
tolerance for those who differ from us
in opinion, but man who will advocate
a gentleman for president CT the United
States, as mere cover from which to
remove him from committee, and then
boast of his treachery, is too mean and
small to live upon this round earth,
lighted by the rays of Gods glorious
sun. He should crawl under a muck
heap and eat dirt until death comes to
his relief

able creature is being generally found
