the character ana customs of the resi-
dents of the national capital
When the Spanish war broke out he
was compelled to abandon his long
walks and take his exercise chiefly
within the confines of the White House
grounds. In the first place, the demands
upon his time did not admit of his en-
jOying the same relaxation as formerly.
Moreover, during the period of a foreign
war it was felt to be unsafe for the
president to expose himself to the pos
Sible attack OF some person perhaps
devoted to the cause of the enemy. The
idea of moving about followed by
guards was repugnant to him, and
therefore he abandoned his walks along
the public thoroughfares.
Thus he got out of the habit of TAX
ing this exercise SO beneficial to his
health and devoted himself more and
more closely to his work, so that he was
pretty we'll worn out before his vacation
at Mr. Hanna's home in Georgia There
he dropped again into his old habits of
recreation. and he is quoted as express
ing determination not to again permit
himself to relapse into sedentary habits.
He has renewed his walks and proposes
to keep them up.
President Mckinley knows a thing
about washington which President
Cleveland never had an opportunity to
discover. That is. that it is a point of

pears in public. on the street or in any
place of amusement in Washington the
president has the undlsputed privilege
of appearing as a private citizen. He
IS never stared at, unless it is by stran-
gers. and his appearance in theater is
not greeted with any sort of demonstra-
ton.

other presidents except Mckinley, en-
joyed the privileges of plain citizenship.

Arthur of walking. The president may

never venture to approach him on the

Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
ambassador, speaking of the American
customs that had impressed him. re-
marked that one of the most striking
things he had observed was the manner
in which the president was treated in

that while foreigners first impress

IDEAS ON BANKING.
P. 7 Bonebrake Opposed to the Pro-
posed Change in the National
Banking Law.

The following is portion of COM
municatiOn written by P L BOnebrake
to Congressman Charles Curtis. mem
Der of the congressiez-al monetary COM
mittee. now in session at Atlantic City,
New Jersey:
Give the national bank currency to
the par value of the bonds. cut off the
tax on circulation. and you have Il
currency as good as the government
itself. National banks pay for the
plates, for examinations, and for the
printing of currency; so the system is
inexpensive to the government. except
the comptroler's department. The ma
tional banks now pay revenue tax
which more than offsets the loss on
circulation tax. This tax amounts to
81 900 per annum on each 81 ,000, 600 cap
ital. BY this you see that the national
banks pay their full proportion OF the
United States taxes.
You suggest capital as low as S25, 900
for small towns l suggest capital as
low as $4,000. graded upward for larger
places. National banks are not popular
in the south for the reason that too
large capital IS required. The national
banking capital of the United States
is S621. 81 1895 October 49,; circulation
only 1898. 1873. 9S5 October 1S). If the
additional 10 per cent was allowed, the
circulation would in my opinion in
crease to $500,000.00 in a year. As it
is now, the bank must lose the premium
on bonds used for circulation. and with
only 80 per cent currency. the greater
banks will not take on circulation.
NOW DIS 10 Ine proposed pan OF IS
suing bank notes based on the assets of
the bank, with preference to the note
holders. 1t is absolutely wrong. AS it
is now, the holder of national bank
note never looks to where it is issued
whether in Maine or California He
knows it is as good as the government
any place. while the depositor has the
total assets of the bank for his protec-
ton Under the proposed plan, the note
holder has the preference. while the de-
poSitor takes what is left. The comp
troller correctly says: This plan is
not only inherently wrong and unjusti-
fed by any ground of public policy, but
its practical effect upon the present re-
Iation of depositors to banks in small
communities would be revolutionary
Our fathers had an experience in 1857
of a currency based on the assets of
banks. There was hardly one out of
hundreds of banks that redeemed its
currency at par In such emergencies
as 1857. 1873, 1898, under the Asset Sys-
tenn of currency. both note holder and
depositor would be losers, while under
the national bank system the note
holder would be absolutely secure
Another bad feature of the Asset
System would be. it would leave an
open door for dishonest bankers to is

nomination than $40 This would be all
right if silver certificates were issued

BIRDS EGGS.

birds eggs differ in shape well as
