Political banks" organized to re-
ceive-and juggle with-the funds of
municipalities or states, have yielded
many shameful chapters of financial
history. An occurrence Of another
sort has just taken place in Phila-
delphia, where the president Of
such bank, which had failed, has
given his personal check for 100000
in order that the depositors may be
paid in full. 81 was the president Of
that bank" he told the receiver; 81
am responsible for more than the
amount I would have to pay as an
assessment upon my holdings of stock,
and | am going to pay more" The
president did a creditable thing when
he went beyond the laws requirements
to guard the business men who had
trusted him; but perhaps he felt that,
since he had got into bad company
and stayed-he deserved to lose his
money.

Foreign correspondents report that
the Industrial associations and the syn
dictates of Berlin have jointly agreed to
call a meeting for the purpose of franz
ing a petition to the Prussian govern
ment calling attention to the enormous
damage suffered in expectation to
Scandinavian countries by reason of
the continued systematic expulsion
from northern Schleswig of Danes,
Swedes and Norwegians. The petition
will ask that the policy of expulsion be
speedily discontinued. Reports from
throughout Germany show the urgency
of this move on the part of the manu-
featuring and exporting interests. The
Danes, especially, are severing their
commercial relations with German
merchants out of resentment for the
eviction of their fellow-countrymen
from Prussia. One firm in Brunswick
has been ruined by the sharp falling of
in business, and has been forced to dis
charge 500 employees in consequence.
Similar reports come from Frankfort.
In Berlin and Nuremberg, Austrian and
Italian exporters are now taking the
place of the Germans, who formerly
controlled the field.

VIII Accept Office.
