BRANCH BANKS.

Among the many advantages of the
Canadian banking system is the branch
feature. The great banks of the Domln-
ion have branches extending from Nova
Scotia to British Columbia, and in num-
bers of the little towns of the Northwest
agencies of two or more of the several big
banks are to be found.
The system operates to compel practi-
cally the affording of banking facilities to
small towns and the neighboring farming
communities. AS, for example, bank
will establish a branch at a newly-formed
settlement for the purpose OF obtaining
new business and giving increased ac-
commodations to those who are already
its customers. After awhile, If the place
increases in size, the other banks have to
establish branches in the town, because
those of their large customers or pur-
chasers of agricultural supplies all over
the country complain that, in the absence
of branches in certain places, or one of
the particular banks they are dealing
with, they cannot carry on their business
in a satisfactory manner. AS a result, ii
is not infrequently the case that in towns
of less than 1,5OO population there are three
or four branch banks, and the financial
resources Of the great monetary centres
are thus brought TO the very doors of the
Canadian farmers. The farmers, when
their credit justifies it, can get all the
money they require for the transaction
Of business, and do not. as in many large
agricultural areas in the United States,
and particularly in the South, have 10
barter for what they need.
The Canadian branch system has ena-
bled the Dominion farmers to live more
economically than is possible when barter
is necessary, and has taught them bust
ness methods and the great value Of com.
mercial credit. 1t has also, We are told,
given standing to agricultural credits
that is constantly approaching, and has
been as profitable to the banks as il has
been beneficial to the farmers. Under the
Canadian currency system, which compels
the banks to keep their notes at par, the
branch feature operates to secure a wide
and equitable distribution of currency.

Ministers of finance and angels Of truth

$50. 100000. But for the fact that Cleve-

A EAR EAsr INCIDENT.

The gentleman Of the royal mushroom
hat. who runs the Hermit Kingdom
when he can--and Is also known as the
Emperor OF Korea, has Topped again
This time he has Topped from Russia,
but exactly whom to. where 10, or wna'
10 If not entirely clear.
a short season back II was reported
that Russia had a hard and fast grip
on Korea, despite the fact that Great
Britain carried her point In preventing
the dismissal OF the Englishman In
charge OF the customs service and the
putting OF Russian in his place. Now
comes the story that his Majesty OF the
royal mushroom headgear has Informed
tho Russian Minister that he does no:
intend that the Russian officials who
may be sojourning In Korea shall pro-
tract their stay. In other words. he
proposes to give them their walking
papers.
This is looked upon as pretty bold
proceeding, and there is n good deal OF
speculation as to what 1t all means. Per-
haps. however, Great Britain and Japan
could throw some light on the matter
were they inclined to accommodate the
curious. At any rate, In view Of the
complicated situation in the far East
1t is hardly possible that we have yet
seen or heard the end Of his Majestys
proposed bouncing" operation.

potatoes. and prepare the land for a
large small-grain crop next fall"

gle with Spain would come TO the South

dreds of other equally disinterested and
natriotic millinaires who would be willing
10 save the country-for a consideration.

guns and ammunition, the West would
supply the commissary department and
the South would ODE the seat OF war.

burg county have been buying corn and
hay In the West, and there Is not
town in this State. or In any other
Southern State, where western -four and
meat are not staple articles Of trade.
And yet the South is filled with all sorts
OF newspapers and people who think that
war would be good thing. They say
that IL would quicken the currents OF
trade. though they have nothing to sell
that the government would want; that
II would give occupation 10 the idle.

ties here for employment that 1t would

ana our commerce on the ocean would be
the prey Of Spanish privateermen.
During the present year ten steamships
loaded with cotton. pig-iron. and other
southern products have been dispatched
from the port of Charleston for BARGE
iona, spain. About one-fOurth or our
cotton exports this year have been made
to Spain. The export business with Spain
at other southern ports has also been
large and valuable. What should we
find in a condition Of war. to supply the
place of this trade. which would be
utterly destroyed? 1t Is true that the
railroads would make something out of
the government for the transportation of
troops and supplies. but they would lose
far more in the interruption OF business
Some extra trains would go to Atlanta
and the eating-houses there would pro-
badly pick up something for extra meals
furnished the troops; but the people
and the places which would be within
actual range Of the enemy's guns would
suffer not only the destruction OF pro-
perty but the loss of life. War is
favored by those only who have selfish
ends TO serve, personal promotion in
view. or sectional axes to grind. The
United States have actually no cause for
war. The national prosperity has not
been affected by the Cuban struggle, ana
the national honor has not been offended
by Spain. If We go to war. in the cir |
cumstances, and without some overt ACT
on the part of the Spanish Government, |
we will be without excuse or defence.

In Philadelphia a big joke has just been
perpetrated in the name Of honesty. A
syndicate has been trying TO get through
the Council lease bill, under which ii
could secure control of the citys water
supply. One of the members Of the lower
branch of the Council charged that he
was offered from $1,000 to 5000 to vote
in the interest of the syndicate, and thus
brought about a postponement of the
lease bill proceedings, pending an inves-
tigation of the charge. But it having
been charged that there had been bribery
in connection with the recent lease of
the City Gas-Works to the United I'M
provement Company, the investigation
was ordered to cover this matter also
And Just here comes in the joke The
president of the Council appointed on the

who had voted for the gas lease.
