B. and L. State Supervision.

We can see no valid objection to the
general proposition that Building and
Loan Associations should be brought I'M
der the jurisdiction of the Banking and
Insurance Department of the State. On
the contrary, there is every reason why
they should be obliged to file detailed re-
ports and submit their books to searching
examination at such times as the public
officers may think fit.
Building and loan associations very
often have a good deal of 'close corpora
-tion'' business about them. Many. per-
haps a majority, are run by a ring or
clique, and the claim that the members
at large have any great say in their
management is VIGOROUSLY untrue. 1t is
a fact that a great number. probably the
vast majority, are honestly and intelli-
gently conducted, but there remain
numerous cases on record, not in this
State alone, but everywhere, that such
associations exist, in which stupidity and
ever rank fraud have caused bankruptcy
and ruin. Indeed there is hardly any line
of business in which fraud and folly may
more easily creep in, undetected, and none
in which the effects of mismanagement
are more utterly ~lamentAble.
OF course, State supervision should not
be made oppressive in any way. 1t should
be mainly directed to veriication of the
securities and the accounts, and to placing
the exact facts before the shareholders in
~indisputable shape, so that they should
always understand their condition and
thus be able to appraise the character
OF their management. For this service,
the State should charge no fee, or only a
fee of the most moderate sort. The ex-
aminations should not be SO frequent as
to constitute a burden upon the assocfa-
lions. BY holding them at irregular times,
without long previous notice, yearly ex-
aminations might be made answer every
practical purpose.

From the roster of the Castle Square
Opera Company a group of the best
artists was selected for the performance
of "Rigoletto,'' at the American Theatre,

INDUSTRIAL EXHIBIT.
Businessmen Had Another Chance
to Do Business Last Nieht.

Another large crowd attended the In
dustrial Exhibit of the Hudson City
Business Mems Association, at Pohl-
mann's, last night. 1t was not SO large
as that of the night before, but it is
believed that those exhibitors who had
goods for sale did a more thriving bust
ness than on any preceding night of the
exhibit. The visitors had a better nance
to inspect the exhibits and they seemed
more bent upon purchasing.
Judged from every standpoint, the ex-
hibit has proved a great success and the
members of the association are naturally
proud. 1t is believed that the results of
this years exhibit will be the retaining
of thousands of dollars in circulation on
the Hill that would otherwise be spent
in New York.

'tyrannous. The situation in the islands
is clearly pictured in the letter from
our Manila correspondent which we
print today. He wrote month before
the armed collision, but the drift
towards hostilities was unmistakable.
The more the natives saw of the
Americans, the less they liked them.
They did not like our ways, our man
ners, or our morals. They would draw
no fine distinction between aggressors /;
and il the Americans were to do as the
Spanish did, they would simply class
both together in a common hatred.
This is the enormous difficulty and in
consistency of our position. We are
going where we are not wanted to do
what is not liked. We may be as pure
of purpose as st. Francis and as
humane in intention as st. Dominic
but if the natives have to be shot in
order to be taught how good and
benevolent we are, they cannot be
greatly blamed for regarding all our
humanity, even when tricked out in
the flowers of Presidential rhetoric, as
no better than the cruel tender mercies
of the wicked.

Talk About tho Philippines.
Washington, Feb. %. Senator Gray
was caller at the White House yester-
day afternoon, and had quite talk
with the President. What transpired
during the course of the conversation
is not known, but Senator Gray stated
that the subject of tho conversation
was about the Philippine Islands.
Regarding the situation in the Phil
ippine Islands Senator Gray seemed to
think that the best course this country
could pursue at present would be to
thoroughly whip the rebels. and as
quickly as possible. This would be
the safest means of teaching them any
sense, and after they were subdued
they could be treated with whatever
consideration they might deserve in the
opinion OF this government. His talk
with the President was mainly on the
subject of the islands, and the Presi-
dent expressed himself as being highly
pleased with the conduct of Gen. Otis
in the Philippine campaign. The
President was said to be satisfied that
the Philippine circular discovered r
the general massacre of American and
foreign residents is perfectly authentic.
This sets at rest the statement that
has been made by the Filipino iunta
at Hongkong that the Americans were
the aggressors in the matter of bring
ing on conflict.
