% Johns Gospel is no desultory
narrative. He has plan. Opens
with prologue. John Baptist's test
mony follows: then then call OF disci-
pies: next the manifestation Of Jesus
glory, its grace at Cana. its severity at
Jerusalem; now the fascinating picture
Of Jesus interview with the lowlieSt
of women Is set over against that of
His conference with Nicodemus.
90 The Samaritan woman may repre-
sent that class who would probably
never come TO Jesus OF their own ac-
cord. as Nicodemus stands for the In
curing class.
t3) Two classes. but one Gospel for
both.
(3) Jesus went through Samaria OF
set purpose. TO break down the partition
wall between races.
go Divorce was one OF the most fla-
grant evils OF both the Jewish and
Samaritan nations. This woman may
have been legally divorced from all five
OF her husbands. Divorce Is an ulcer
oIis sore in any nation.
Neither come all the way hither 10
draw. The woman hoped to be eman-
cipated from the humdrums OF life. She
was. and she was not! Probably to old
age she continued the Oriental woman's
most tOilSomc task. But the monoto-
nous task was transmitted into Il JOY.
She had n new motive in life, q secret
spring of strength.

Eccling Against Sampson.

There is q very pronounced prcju-
dice in the minds OF many people
against Admiral Sampson, and a dispo-
sition TO resent any honors conferred
on him for the victory over the Spanish
fleet At Santiago that does not make
Admiral schley an equal shnrer in their
bestowal. Some go to the extreme III
maintaining that all the credit for the
annlhilatlon Of Ccrveras squadron
should be given to Schley. The contcn-
ton Is unjust. Admiral Sampson was
in command and had formulated his
plans, had given orders for action and
provided for any contingency that
might occur through any unexpected
move on the part OF the crratic Spanish
admiral. In doing what he did Ad-
miral Schicy but followed his duty, cx-
ccuted the commands OF his superior
officer. He did It CALAMITY, and no one
begrudScs HIN the success he attained
and the plaudts he received from his
countrymen.
That Sampson was absent at'the be-
ginning OF the unexpected engagement
was owing to his cooperation with the
army OF Genera! Shaftcr. He had many
and varied responsibilities resting on
his shoulders. Schiey had but onc-to

Of his employer. Simple Justice to

such concerted action between tho banks Of
the dIherept cities OF this country. VIGOROUSLY
did great harm. which could and should have
been prevented.
These considerations will hardly fail to have
duo weigh with Congress, and may be conf
IDENTITY relied on to defeat all efforts TO enlarge
tDe number OF our banks by Offering for their
creation the inducement Of enlarged note
issuing privileges. but whether Congress will rs
readily take tho desirable step OF. checking the
multiplication Of banks by raising the mini
mum limit ot their capital from its present
$4,000 to u larger amount Is not so certain.
The prevailing undeniablo popular prejudice
against concentrating the banking business in
a rev competent hands. Is too strong to be over
come. and will probably avail TO keep It in its
present feeble and disorgnnlzed condition.
Tho nation ought indeed, long ago, to have es-
tablished a great bank to act as its fiscal agent.
like the national banks OF Europe. but the ira
ditions Of the eraof Andrew jackson still -four
ish with sufficient viRor to prevent It. TIL
same traditions also avail In Congress to de-
feat the granting OF permission to national
banks to establish branches. the fear being
expressed that they would thus obtain a power
which they might use to Cypress borrowers.
Nevertheless, the tendency Of the age. as the
rapidly increasing number OF industrial com
binations shows. Is toward reducing the pres
ent oversupply OF banks and substituting for 1t
a smaller number OF large ones. 1t is true that
the Inducements for banks to consolidate are
not like those which obtain In the case OF in
dustrinl undertakings. Their properties arc
marketable as they stand, and would bring no
higher price in combination with others than
they would separately. Hence nothing will
Compel thcm to surrender their individuality
but the failure to earn remunerative dividends,
and this motive has only just begun to operate.
Still, it is operating and will gain strength as
time goes on. and eventually 1t will prevail.

Mr.. HENRY C. MOORE President Of The Company,
In u letter to us. states in part as follows:
The Trenton 9ss aud Electric Company is a con.
solidatiop of The Trenton Gas Light Company. The
City Gas Light Company, TIentom Light anu Power
Company, Peoples Electric Light Company, Trenton
Electric Light and Power Company. and Edison
Electric Light and Power Company, which compa.
mics were formerly organized and existed under the
laws of New Jersey, and the Consolidated Company
owns all of the property Of the above companies.
In addition the Consolidated company owns the en-.
tirc capital stock of the Peoples Gas Improvement
Company and the Delaware River Improvement
Company, thereby controlling either through actual
ownership or ownership of stock ALI OF THE GAS
AND ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANTS IN H CITY
AND SUBURBS OF TRENTON. n. j.
THE value Of all these properties is largely in
excess of the amount OF the bonds now Issued.
The Mortgage is limited in amount to 100000,
of which $1,000, 900 have been sold to you, the re-
naming $500, 900 to remain in the treasury Of the
Company, to be issud for actual extensions and
improvement under careful restrictions OF the
Mortgage.
The earnings of the various companies last year
were far more than the fixed charges. The earn
ings will be largely increased as the result of a
new and energetic management. The operating
expenses will be largely reduced as II result of the
combination, The interest charges on the bonds
now issued amount to $4,000 per annum, Tho
decrease in operating expenses resulting from the
consolidation. and the increase in gross receipts.
We believe. Will from now on very materially in
crease the net earnings. which will undoubtedly
show a large surplus over all fixed charges.
THE TERRITORY SUPPLIED "BY II TREN-
TOS GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY EMBRACES
A POPULATION OF ABOUT $4,000. INCLUDING
THE CITY OF proper, which is
the capital of the State. a thriving manufactur-
ing city. and the most important in it's part OF
the State"
Mr.. ALIEN. c. HUMPHREYS of Humphreys Il
Glagow. Gas Engineers, who examined the property
for us. states that, after allowing literally for de.
probation, and especially as to the electric plant.
the net profits for 1899 should not be less than
SaO. 900. and these profits should be. largely in
creased thereafter.
with the results of my examination before me,
| can Confidently. say that the fixed charges of S75.-
900 chm be readily met from the start, and that there
should be, in the near future. surplus earnings APP
plieable to dividends"
