Two Fnults of the Horse.

Aldridge's and Tattersalls are the two
horse marts of this town, where. if so
inclined, you can make capital studies
of human nature and equine nature, says
the London correspondence of the Wash
ington Post. Rowlandson. the clever
horse painter, was telling me the other
day that he had often been impressed with
the fact that the equine had decided
influence on human nature. Not only
that" he added, Il tell you that most
men who deal in horses, train horses,
talk horses, actually get to look like
horses. They acquire the sad, patient
expression of most horses. 1 can always
tell your genuine horsey man whether
meet him at Newmarket or at Long
champs. There is an unmistakable stamp
about him. But enough of philosophy.
Here is a bit OF Renaissance. 1 was at
Aldridge's not long ago when George
Cordery, who considers himself a first
rate judge of a horse, bought what he
considered a beauty.
Have you anything to tell me about
him. asked Cordery of the groom.
" We'll, SIR answered the man, the
'oss only has two faults
What are they?' inquired Cordery.
He terrible ard to ketch,' said the
groom.
"'Oh, that doesn't matter observed
Cordery.
And there's the other fault contin-

A SORT OF FAMILY AFFAIR.

We have said very often that banks
which are honestly managed-managed in
the interest of the stockholders and de-
positors-seldom fall. Nearly every
bank that has to close its doors
Is ruined by the dishonesty of officials or
the failure Of those who have the man
agement Of it to adhere 10 the banks
rules in making loans.
The Tradesman's Bank, which failed in
New York the other day-a bank that was
among the oldest in the city-was caused
by the president loaning money to him
self or. what was the same thing, loan
ing money to business enterprises of which
he and his brothers were the chief own
ers. These enterprises in which he and
his brothers were interested failed and
they dragged the bank down with it.
The bank seems to have been regarded
by the banks president and his brothers
as a sort of family institution. OF course
they did not mean TO rob anybody, and
perhaps the president did not think that
he was doing any wrong when he loaned
the banks funds to business enterprises
Of which his brothers were in control, and
IN Wnlcn ne ana lneY were financially III
terested to the extent OF hundreds of
thousands of dollars. He expected to pay
the bank every dollar ne borrowed from
it for his outside business interests, and
he would have paid it back if the price
of wool had gone up instead Of down.
But he broke the banks rule in loaning
so much of the bank ) money to himself
and his brothers.
The cause of the failure of the Peoples
Bank of Philadelphia-the bank that has
just come before the public again on ac-
count of the arrest of Senator Quay and
his son on a-charge of having in connec-
ton with the banks cashier, used the
banks funds In speculatiOn-was the
wrong-doing of the cashier. And the fail
ure of banks for this cause win continue
until bank officers are more severely pun
ished than they now are for misusing the
funds of banks Of which they have con-
troll. 1t Is a difficult matter to convict
bank officer even when there is plenty of
evidence of his guilt, and when convicted
he manages, in a majority of cases, to
get a pardon. Unless the laws against
bank wreckers are enforced as vigorously
as the laws against petty thieving are
there will be no decrease In the number of
bank failures.

MONoPoLrEs AND COsUMERs.

Notwithstanding the outcry which is
made against monopOlies it is doubtful if
consumers have to pay as much for ar
ticles produced by monopolies as they
would if produced by many COM
gested by the war now in
progress between the American Sugar Re
ining Company and the Independent sugar
refining companies. The American Sugar
Refining Company has been condemned
for a long time as one of the greatest
monopolies in the world. and it is a very
great monopoly. II had almost absolute
control of the American sugar market I'M
til the Arbuckles, who compose the great
coffee firm, went into the sugar refining
business. There are several Independent
rcfineries now, and, therefore, the Ameri-
can is not quite as great a monopoly as
1t was a little while ago.
Since the war between the American
company and the Independent companies
began the price of graduated sugar has
been cut to cents a pound. Sugar ex-
perts say that the price at present af-
fords no profit whatever to the refiner-
tudts Ill ldClt tue ItiliNFS fOS6 money WDtn
they sell granulated sugar at cents a
pound and the price of raw sugar is as
high as it is at present. The difference
between the price of raw sugar and the
graduated is only about a half cent
There Is no doubt that the sugar mo-
nopoly has furnished consumers with
sugar at less price than
bax haa nl1o
purchase it if there had been
no monopoly. The monopoly was
able to manufacture sugar at less cost
than small factories could manufacture it,
and it sold It's product at a very small
margin of profit, so as to discourage op-
position. 1t had TO sell it's product at a
very small profit, otherwise it would have
had great competition. A monopoly can
not afford TO demand an exorbitant price
for its product. To do so would be to
invite competition and it's own destruction.
The sugar monopoly has been able to pay
big dividends on very large capital be-
cause 1T has done an immense business.
has done it cheaply and has made no bad
debts. 1t sells its output for cash.
1t is pretty nearly impossible to estab-
fish a permanent monopoly. The Stand
ard Oil Company is probably the greatest
monopoly i'm the world, because it con-
trolls about all the crude oil in this coun-
try But it would not have been able
to control all the oil territory If It had
not supplied consumers with its product
at less price than small companies could
have done It.
1t does not appear therefore, that con-
sumers have a great grievance against
monopolies. If the business done by mo-
nopolles were divided among many COM
panies II is pretty certain that consumers
would pay more for the articles which
are now supplied by monopolies. As a
rule, unless a monopoly acts fairly with
consumers its life is short. Too much
capital is seeking profitable investment to
permit of consumers being gouged. sim.
it doesn't follow that monopolies are bless
ings There is much to be said against
them as well as for them.

willing to Be NeighborIx.
Taul Timberson.

A lady who moved from Boston to a
small and new town In Dakota says that
soon after the arrival of the family in
their new home her husband fell Ill. but
not at all dangerously so, says the New
York World.
One morning there appeared at the door
a neighbor who had never before been to
the house, and who said:
II hear your husband is right bad off,
an 1 thought I'd run over an see if there
was anything 1 could do"
on being thanked for her kindness and
told that the sick man had every neces-
sary attention, the caller said:
well, you let me know if I can help
out In any way, an if the wust should
come to the wust I'D be glad an willn'
to loan you my mournin, an me an my
husband would come over an set up With
the corpse, seem as you're strangers

A SENSATIONAL STORY.

One statement in connection with the in
vestgation of the conduct of the
war is that an effort will be
made to place the blame for the hurried
departure from Tampa to Santiago
and for the mistakes and suf-
ferings Of the Santiago campaign, on Ad-
miral Sampson.
The story is that he sent to the Presi-
dent and TO Gen. Shafter a statement that
with ten thousand men Santiago could be
taken in forty Eight hours. The admiral
was off Santiago and was supposed to
know the situation thoroughly. What was
more natural, therefore, than that an ex-
pedtion should have been sent to Santiago
just as quickly as it could be prepared?
1t is far from certain that there is any
thing in this story. II doesn't sound as If
it had much of foundation. No doubt
Admiral Sampson was in constant COM
munication with the President and the
navy department, but he was at no time
in position to say exactly what the con-
dtion of the fortihcations around San
tiago was. If he sent spies ashore the in
formation they secured was doubtless sent
to Washington, and the authorities there
were as capable of forming an opinion of
It's value as he was. The Sampson story is
doubtless one Of the numerous stories set
afoat by sensationalists. and which live
but for a day. The impression they make
is not lasting. The mistakes of the San
tiago campaign, whatever they were, can
not be saddled upon Admiral Sampson,
and il is safe to say that nobody wants to
saddle them on him.

Up to within the last few years the ten

generally recognized on the Pacific coast,

ated, but the copper cent was despised

suit to offer one of them in change The
person who found himself in possession of
one would flip 1t into the gutter quickly.
in order to get rid of it. Now however,
the small change is largely In demand in
San Francisco and elsewhere in that sec
ton. 1t is said that odd cent prices at
the stores and drop-a-coin machines have
been largely responsible for the popular
ity of the small change.

Quarantine and the Fever.
From N. Y. Commercial Advertiser CRep.

Sentiment seems to increase In the
South in favor of national quarantine.
This is a sign of the times 1t indicates
that the days of yellow fever frights,
when towns throw themselves into a state
of seige and exclude the whole outside
world from the borders with shotguns,
are passing. IL is now recognized that
yellow fever can be suppressed by con-
ining it rigidly to the place of its origin.
The New Orleans City Council has de-
clared officially in favor of turning quar-
antine over to the national government,
and public opinion seems to indorse the
course of the council. National, instead
of local. quarantine would both be more
efficient in combining yellow fever to the
place where il is discovered and remove
the annoyance to trade and travel caused
by unnecessary quarantine by historical
communities. If the government can at
tend to yellow fever in Cuba, il can at
tend to it in Louisiana.
