The Superabundance of Banks.

The announcement that the stockholders
Of the Franklin National Bank Of this city
have decided to put the institution into vol
untary liquidation will surprise nobody
who has watched the course of the banking
business here and elsewhere. In Boston
eight banks have recently surrendered their
charters and consolidated with n ninth. In
st. Louis two large banks have just been
merged into one. Here in New York the
number Of Independent banks has been re-
duced not only by insolvency n by retire
ment, but by the passing Of several small
ones into the control of larger ones. In all
these cases, it was found that the continued
existence of the defunct or absorbed insti-
buttons was not required by the needs of
business, and it, accordingly, ceased.
In the face OF these facts, the so-callcd
currency reformers keep up their clamor
for Legislation favoring the creation Of
more banks and Of little ones at that.
Their favorite measure is a reduction of
the limit of capital required for national
banks, from its present amount of $4,000
to one OF $4,000, or $4,000. They as
sert tina this reduction will promote the
establishment OF banks in remote rural
districts, which are now destitute of bank
ing facilities, and thus benefit agricul-
tural communities. They do not consider
that IL a bank like the Franklin National,
with a capital Of 5000, 900, cannot earn its
living here in the great city of New York, n
little bank with $4,000 or $4,000 capital
cannot possibly do better among poor"
agricultural people. Rent, salaries, taxes
and unavoidable losses would eat mp its
earningo and leave nothing for dividends.
What the currency reformers are really
driving at is legislation, which, with future
amendments, will permit the little banks,
now advocated by them under the cloak Of
a benevolent concern for our agriculturist
fellow citizens, to issue circulating notes
on their own credit without security. They
are striving for a return of the wildcat
money system of the days before the war,
when banks established in inaccessible
swamps and forests, but owned by specula-
tors in Chicago and other large cities,
flooded the country with n currency that
cost nothing but the expense of printing,
and returned large profits to its issuers.
There are already in existence enough.
and more than enough, banks to do all the
banking business among us that can he
done ~legitimately, and none is needed for
the purpose of swelling the volume of our
paper money. The power to issue that
money can nowhere be lodged SO safely as
in the hands of the National Government.

| not less, and probably many more, than
sixty millions Of avowed Christians in all
parts Of the world"
1t will be seen that the Catechism avoids
carefully the old grounds OF controversy
and seeks rather to emphasize theological
agreement, at the same time steering clear
OF new causes OF division introduced by the
scientific school OF theologians recently
generated in Protestant orthodoxy. The
definition of the Bible, for instance, Is
broad and general rs "the inspired record
Of COPS revelation to be our rule OF faith
and duty" The Church OF CHRIST Is
described MS a spiritual rather than
a solid organic body, as made up OF
many ~communions, organized in various
modes, and scattered throughout the
world, yet one in Him" theoretically,
therefore, the organic differences are treated
as non-essential. The purely spiritual
character Of the Church is emphasized
further in the description OF 1.-THE essential
mark OF a true branch OF the Catholic
Church" as 1.-The presence OF CHRIST,
through His indwelling Spirit, manifested
in holy life and fellowship" The decisive
proof" of the validity Of Il Christian minis
try is made to be independent of any mere
form OF ecclesiastical ordination by the
definition that IL is 1.-THE sanction Of the
Divine Head OF the Church, manifested in
the conversion OF sinners and the edifica-
ton OF the Body Of Christ"
In general, this attempt to harmonic the
belief Of the Churches described as Evangel-
ical is worthy of the most serious consid-
Grafton. 1t would have been impossible a
generation ago, or even fifteen years ago,
and that it is possible now is n fact OF great
significance. It is indicative OF the prevail
ing indifference as to questions OF belief,
doctrine and matters Of practice which once
separated Professionalism into ehbittered
factions, questions over which religious
believers fought as vital to the eternal wei
fare OF mankind. Now Protestant ortho-
doxy is disposed more and more to pass
them by as unessential differences Of opin-
ion concerning matters upon which the
hope of salvation has no dependence.

Aguinaldo's Man.

AGoScIbIo, the "envoy" OF AGUINALDo
OF Washington, cannot have been sent
thither with any expectation that he would
be received or recognized officially. I'm
doubtedly he was sent for the purpose Of
keeping A%GUINALDo informed OF events in
Washington, of ascertaining, so far as pos
sible, the military and naval plans Of the
Administration with reference to the Phil
ippines, Of intriguing with the Aguinaldo
Senators, and of publishing to the country
the manifestoes which the State Depart
ment will not acknowledge.
Senior AGoNCILLo SHOULD be watched care
fully. He is here in a very ticklish capacity.
In his least offensive function he is appeal
ing to the country against the Administra-
ton. In his more secret and dangerous
business he is a spy, liable to be hanged by
the neck until he is dead.
We advise him to walk warily. The
United States is getting sick of this whole
monkey business Of AGUINALDo, and is not
in the habit of pocketing insults or injuries
for any great length of time. Senior AEON
CLIO should not make the mistake of con-
founding the Government with a mulish
minority of the Senate.

Although the bill for pensions is the
largest Of all the nnual appropriations,
and this year amounted to Sis, 233. $50,
it passed the House with only n few min
utes of debate, the discussion occupying
less than a page OF the Congressional RecOrd,
and breaking all records. we believe. for
brevity. Now the Senate has concurred in
the measure, with rather less CELEBRITY, but
without amendments, the bill carrying to II
dollar the exact estimates submitted.
The current appropriation Is just 81, OOo,-
0 larger than that of last year; but since
there was a pension item of rs, 900, 900 in
the last sessions deficiency bill, the real
difference may possibly turn out the other
way. In any case, there was an actual dis
bursement of $144.651,S $40 for the fiscal
year 1898, which Is close upon the amount
appropriated this year. Besides, the need
Of OUTLAWS on account OF Spanish war pen
sions has been considered, although Mr..
BARNEY, who had charge of the bill In the
House. said he hardly looked for the addi-
ton of 81, 900, 900 10 the years expendi-
lures on that score.
This greatest Of the annual outlaws has be-
come almost as much a matter of simple de-
partment bookkeeping as that which pro-
vides for the payment Of interest on the ma
tionai debt. Given the number Of PEN
sioners on the roll and the rates due them,
the question of how much money must be
voted becomes one Of arithmetic; for it is
customary to leave to n deficiency nppro-
priation such undetermined OUTLAWS as may
result from the legislation of Congress
after the bill Is reported.
The reason why the Senate debate was so
much longer than that OF the House, though
reaching the same result, is to be found in
the attempt to introduce general legisla-
tiOn into the hill and the discussion of other
questions. Two of the amendments pro-
posed, Mr.. SEwELL's, forbidding pensions
to widows who may hereafter marry PEN
sioners or to their minor children, and Mr..
SULLIyAS's, %forhiddinG the payment of Il
dependent pension to persons other than
soldiers widows, who have an income Of

We print elsewhere a new Catechism,
which has been prepared, adopted and pub
lishcd by n commission appointed for the
purpose and consisting of representative
t~heologians OF all the free Churches OF Eng
and known as Evangelical. The movement
of which il is the result was started two
years ago by the General Committee Of the
National Council of these Churches, with the
view to showing and strengthening their
substantial agreement in relation to the
fundamental and essential truths Of Chris
t%ianity." That is, II was an effort to indi-
cate their doctrinal and spiritual harmony
and was undertaken, probably, in the hope
of promoting their practical unity.
The commission to which the preparation
OF the Catechism was intrusted numbered
twenty, and included foremost representa-
tives OF the Baptists, Congre2atiOnalists,
the various divisions Of Methodism. Pres
byterians, and Bible Christians. First, Il
preliminary draft Of the Catechism was
made by the Rev. Dr.. j. q. DYKES Principal
of the Presbyterian College at Cambridge
and formerly Moderator Of the English
Presbyterian Synod. That draft, n year
ago, was revised by II preliminary commit
tee, and then, after long elaboration, it
was revised finally and adopted unanimous
ly by the full commission of twenty.
In submitting this new Catechism for the
common use OF Evangelicalism, the COM
mission refer to the fact that mo such
combined statement of interdenominational
belief has ever previously been attempted,
much less achieved, since the lamentabIc
day when MARTIN Luther commended with
HULDREICH ZwINGLI,' or more than three
hundred years ago. They say also, and it
j. certainly "A very suggestive indication,
that. in view of the distressing cOntrO-
v"rsirs of our forefathcrs, it Is profoundly
significant and gladdening 10 DE able to add
that every question and every answer In
this Catechisnl has been finally adopted
without n dissentient vote"
Th"increasing tendency OF those Churches
to make light Of past differences OF doe
trinal statement, Of ecclesiastical Organiza-
tion, and in the relative prominence given to
! specific doctrines. which formerly led To ac-
rimOniOus controversies aud even TO blood
shed, is one of the most striking manifesto
tons in the religious world at this time.
It's importance. too, appears TO he great
when we remember, as the report OF the
commission puts it, that the theologians
who have prepared this Catechism repre-
sent. directly or indirectly, the beliefs Of

volved important questions, but were ruled
out on points Of order, although Mr.. GAL
IrNaER, the Chairman Of the Pension Com
mittee, thought the latter amendment
sound in principle. The Pension Commits
sloner feels bound by the strict wording OF
the law, and hence 1t would seem that some
such provision as Mr.. SULL1vAN's should
be considered, when IL comes up on It's
merits in the annual supply bill.
The other proposed amendment, Mr..
SEwELL's, had already been passed by
the Senate, but the House did not con
u in IL. Mr.. CHALLENGER, in supporting
II. said that it had the approval of the
Pension Commissioner, and further pointed
out that while there are only three soldiers
of the war OF 1912 left living, pensions are
still paid TO 2,4o7 persons rs widows OF
soldiers of hat war, while there are even
five widows of the Revolutionary war. At
that rate, he urged, we shall be p%ensioning
widows OF the civil war as late as 1880.
AS for the speeches of Messrs. HALE and
GoRMAN on the pension bill, their compila-
lions of preposterous figures and distorted
facts We're palpably meant only to obstruct
the ratification of the peace treaty and the
progress of the nation along the ines of
American destiny.
