Spencer Wilkinson, commenting on
Gen. Buffers operations says: 1t
hardly seems as though Tuesdays at
tack had covered more than an adj
vanced position. covering the Boer
main lines of investment. or that the
Beers have abandoned any part Of
those lines Otherwise Gen. Butler ana
Sir George White would have met the
same night
The next attack ought. one way or
the other. to be decisive. Apparently
Lord Roberts cannot for some time IN
fluence the course of events in Natal
and Gen. Buffers force has now been
subjected to a very considerable and
prolonged strain. The moment seems
opportune to point the necessity of
sending Gen. Buffers re-inforcements.'

We may presume that without exception
bankers realize the Importance of public
confidence as it relates 10 the solVency
and management Of the particular corpor-
alton.
The banker holds the integrity of his in
stitution inviolate, knowing favorable pub
lie opinion is part of his stock in trade.
without which the monetary capital might
as we'll not have been invested.
When The good opinion OF the public IS
superseded by distrust of the bank or the
probty of officers or directors, its career
as q commercial factor is terminated With
an absurd slam of the doors; the exam
iner reigns supreme in silent halls where
speculation or careless investment have
brought woe to the once proud finan-
cer, who must sit crushed and humllla-
led. amid the ruins Of improbable as
sets. like Grief upon a monument, look
ing at Despair.
1 wish TO ask your consideration of
subject equally as important, but rot IS

that is public opinion of banking as

such vital Importance that competent
committee has been intrusted with the du-
~ of eniighteniaG the general pubic upon
the functions and uses Of banks, to the
end that any ideas of mystery in the
purposes and aims of banking institutions
may be disspated in the light OF reason
and understanding; that their practical

economical direction Of capital into proper
commercial channels, in the enlargement

We must recognize the fact that the

The chief objection to the National

the circulation feature gives these lnstl-
tutions an advantage over other people.
1t is difficult for many to understand the
slight profit in National Bank circulation,
and While l would not attempt to bring IN
here the question of bank currency, l
firmly believe that when a sound ana
scientific bank currency is possible, the
immense benefits derived from an elias
