The Report Of the Bank Examiner.

The annual report of Bank EXAM
incr F. E. Timberlake. of which a
brief abstract is given in another col
umn of the Journal, this morning, is
a public document of exceptional in
terest to the people of Maine. With
the savings bank depositors of the
State numbering nearly one-third of
our total population it needs no argu-
ment to show how closely connected
with the general welfare is the sta
bility and prosperity of these institu-
tons. Most gratifying in all respects
are the figures presented by the bank
examiner The gains in the number Of
depositors, and in the total amount of
deposits have been greater during the
year. a fact that speaks volumes for
the prosperity of our people and for
their industry and economy. Never
were the growth and condition of our
savings institutions more satisfactory
than at the present time. The fact
that there has been n slight though
steady decrease in the rate of divi-
dends in recent years by no means in
dicates a weakness in the banks, for
were never so large. But neither the
law nor the future prosperity of the
banks allows the use of this surplus
for dividends. The rate of dividends
is lower because the abundance of
money in the market results in a
lower rate upon safe investments, and
only safe investments should be con-
sidered by the trustees.
Among the sound suggestions made
in the report is one that urges imme-
date legislation prohibiting the issue
of watered stock by quasi public cor
porations. Under the law as it is the
promoter is assisted in his attempt to
create something out of nothing, and
the fictitious capitalization becomes a
burden on the public and menace to
savings banks and other investors.
The danger in the over capitalization
of corporations in whose bonds saw
ings banks may invest is evident. 1t
reaches every depositor. and that the
past has witnessed no great loss from
this source is not an assurance that
the future will see none. This matter
is one worthy of the most careful con-
sideration by the coming Legislature.
Many other subjects connected with
our savings banks. trust companies
and loan and building associations are
dwelt upon at length in this report
and both the subject matter and the
thorough manner of its treatment
makes the volume one of unusual
value. The report is convincing
of the efficiency of this
important State department.

The Electric Road Decision.

The Journal gives welcome informa-
ton, this morning, in announcing the
favorable decision of the Board of
Railroad Commissioners on the petit
ton of the Augusta, Winthrop & Lew
iston Electric Road. This decision
was reached by the board. late Satur-
day afternoon, after delay of sew
eral weeks which had been wrongly
construed by many as indicting that
an unfavorable report would be made
The full text of the decision as pub
lished in another column will be of
much interest to all people in this sec
ton of the State. The promoters of
the road have made a good fight and
won a notable victory which means
very much to Augusta and the section
through which the road will run. Now
let the good work go on and this vic
tory promptly be taken advantage of.

And spin brave yarns above the tea.

And long gray wolves in LabraCor;
And Stanley sings the red canoe:
And Dick cxpounds his Micmac lore;
While talk glibly as | can l.i
With one eye on The frying pan.
We talk of deeds in field and wood.
OF fur clad hills and miles of spruce
The alder swamp's gray solitude
The trampled shelter of the moose;
And when the bacon is fried brown
We let the conVersat.o down.

They need good rest, for they have
Down forest trails, where shy beasts

TRENTON, n. J., Nov. e.-The first Of

estimated at $4,000. The Democrats have
succeeded in carrying four Of the twenty
ne.rounties-Hudson, Hunterdon, Sussex,

The new Senate will stand 16 Republicans

justify a reliable estimate Of the result
of the election in this State. Both paru

the Republicans estimating their ma
jority at from 1000 to 5000. The Demo-
Gratis claim the State by even larger fig
ures.
In the cities. not only have they been
carried by Mckinley. but large increase
over the majorities In his favor in 1896
are shown. This was in part anticipated,
and the Democratic gains have been e1-
pected from the rural districts. The re-
turns of this vote are coming in slowly,
owing to the poor means Of communica-
ton with distant points.
General indications are so far. however.
that the State has been carried for Nc
Kinlcy by small majority. Several
districts, usually very close, have given
Republican majorities on the national
ticket
The Legislature will, in all probability.
be Republican, which would ensure the
selection of two Republican United States
Senators. The election of Republican Con-
gressmen in the First, Second. and Third
districts is assured. and it is strongly in
dicated that the Republican candidate in
the Fourth district has also been elected.
The Fifth and Sixth districts are still in
doubt with the probabilities inclining to-
ward the election Of the Fusion candi
dates.
Nothing can be conjectured concerning
the State ticket. which will probably fol-
low the fate of the national ticket in the
State. There are 1.611 election precincts
in the State. Ninety-nine precincts are
in this city and In Douglas County. Fifty
four precincts here give Mckinley 400 to
3.S47 votes for Bryan. This is a distinct
gain for Mckinley over the vote of 1896.
Only 1876 precincts have been heard from
outside OF Omaha and Douglas County,
which give total vote of q. 158 for Bryan
against 24.S40 for Mckinley.
Complete returns from Lincoln indicate
that that city has given majority of 1902
for Mckinley. gain Of 555 over the vote
In 1896. 1t is learned that the city Of Be-
atrice also gives Mckinley a plurality of
634, a gain Of 141 votes over the election OF
four years ago.

at Lincoln has given Mckinley POS votes.

that Mckinley has plurality in Massa-

Representative Henry F. Naphen (Dem.)
is reelected in the Tenth district. There
is a close fight in the Third district. where
Representative John R. Thayer (Dem) is
opposed by Charles G. Washburne (Rep.).
Thayer has made slight gains in the towns
outside Worcester, and unless Washburne
has a plurality of 300 in Worcester he is
beaten. Representative Knox is having a
close fight in the Fifth district. Returns
so far Indicate that he is holding his own
in the towns and that the result depends
upon the cities OF Lowell and Lawrence.
Joseph A. Coney (Dem.) succeeds Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald in the Ninth district.
The other nine districts are Republican.
Mckinley carries Massachusetts by a
largely reduced plurality. The early re-
turns from precincts in Boston and in other
cities, as we'll as from the towns, sur
prised the political prophets. Bryan gained
largely not only in cities. but in the towns
of the State. and Mckinley suffered large
losses in all sections.
