been successfully organized nj

Of the organization, and the selec-

Elders James Larson and Peter
A. Norton who have been doing
missionary work in Texas for the
past two years returned home last
Monday night. Elder Larson's
health is somewhat impaired, but
we hope that our Arizona atmos-
phere will prove a healthful medi-
cine to him and speedily restore
him to health and vigor of mind
and body.
We were awakened from our
peaceful slumbers on Monday
night by the most heavenly strains
of music that ever greeted the
human ear. We had never heard
angels sing but they were our first
thought. We supposed the visit
was intended for the returned mis-
sionary who is our nearest neigh
Dor; had we been lead to believe
that it was intended for us we
would most likely have gone off
into ecstasy - or epilepsy we
hardly know which word would
be dramatically correct to con
vey our meaning. We listened en-
raptured to the melodious voices
Of our midnight visitors, and sad
indeed were we whea the last notes
had died away and we were left
alone to ponder over the strange
occurrence. Imagine our surprise
next morning upon learning that
our visitors were not angels but
real live human beings. We were
told that they were missionaries
just returning from the "Garden of
Eden" where they had been pros
elyting during the day. We are
forced to acknowledge, however,

word is too weak; it was superb;
it was unapproachable; it was
''magnolious," | guess that's about
as strong as we are able to put it
at preseot because of the deficiency
of our vocabulary. 1t was so fine
at times that it was just like the
points of cambric needles and you
could hear nothing but the shadows
OF them. However we feel better
now it is over and believe we shall
fully recover in time. We haven't
the language to express our graft
tude 1--WE are not sure that's the
word intendedJ to our moonlight
visitors, and will therefore defer
doing so until time when our
vocabulary shall have been more
thoroughly developed. We have
also decided TO defer issuing an in
yitation to the company for
second uisit.

BIG BORROWERS.

Comptroller Dawes, in his an
nual report, makes some startling
disclosures about the Willingness
of national bank directors to bor-
row the money of the banks they
are supposed to direct, Accord
ing to this statement 1884 out of
a total of 2S,709 directors of
national banks are borrowers,
their total Indebtedness amount
ing to s2O2,287, AL, or nearly one
third of the aggregate capital Of
all the national banks and nearly
8 per cent, Of the total loans and
discounts of the national banking
system.
The public will readily agree
with Comptroller Dawes that Con-
gress should place greater restrict
ions upon the loans made to bank
directors on require ample security
for each loan as protection to
both stockholders and depositors.
Bank directors should be required
under the heaviest penalties to
protect the interests Of stockhold-
ers and depositors, and one Of the
best ways to do this would be TO
place rigid Limit upon their
borrowing privileges.
The Comptroller's recommen.
dation that Bank Examiners shall
be paid by salary instead of fees
is sound one, and Congress will
do well to act upon it. If Comp
troller Dawes could devise some
way to secure Bank Examiners
that would detect official delalca-
tion in is incipiency he would do
more to protect the interests Of de-
positors and stockholders than in
any other way.

JUsT what is the policy Of the
United States in.China it is hard
to make out, but one thing, at least,
is io its favor; that is, that Germ
any does not like it. The German
policy is clearly one Of oggrandiz-
ment, with which this country can
have nothing to do. Whether the
United States can undertake to dc,
fend China against the German or
English designs is smother ques-
tion. So far as our diplomatic in
fluence goes, it ought to be reso-
lutely against such schemes. The
German newspaper which com
plains that the Philippine compli-
cation has given the United States

right, The indigestion is so severe
that any thought ofacqulring more
territory or more responsibilities
of any kind in Asia is most dis
tasteful to the people of this coun-
try, and the President and his adj
visers will do we'll to bear this in
mind. They seem to wish to get
out of China without having the
courage to do so, and the danger
is that they will keep on parley-
ing with the "concert of powers"
till they get themselves committed
to the very complications they are
trying to avoid.
