British Kingdom in 1890, their volume now is nearly twice as large. The great expansion which has taken place in this country is chiefly, of course. a
 measure of the rise in material wealth,
 but in part it is the result of the more liberal provisions for the organization of national bonks. The general growth of bank resources. as the controllers figures demonstrate, has been more rapid since the passage of the new banking law of March, 1900, which re- duced the minimum requirement. CT capital from 1000 to $25,OOO and ex- tended considerably the note-issuing privilege. During the last twelve
 months, under the operation of this act. the entire number of banking institu- tions has increased from 1O.3s2 to II, ,4O5,
 and their total resources have been en-
 larged from s1O. 7s5OOO, ,OOO to s12. .s57, ,OOO,- OOO

The Liberal Review of London prints an article by President Roosevelt which contains the following: We have lived 1900 year in the Christian era and as yet we have to make pro- gress step by step with infinite pains and infinite labor. In spite of halting and shortcomings we have been striv- ing onward and upward. And as we made progress in the past so shall we make progress in the future. You will not find any royal road in patent leg fslation or in curious schemes by which everybody gets virtuous and happy. Not a bit of it. We are going ahead; I trust a little faster than in the past but only a little faster. We hope to keep going forward, but by steps, not by bounds. We must keep our eyes on the stars. but we must also remem- Der that our feet are on the ground. When you get a man who tries to make you think anything else he is either visionary or a demagogue, and in either event he is an unsafe leader.

 Mark Twain, we believe, has written a book which is to be published in a hundred years. His purpose. doubtless. is to let our descendants know about us in a way that the literature of this day would not allow. But the American humorist has been quite outdone by an Australian professor. The professor will leave to the museum of Prague s15,OOJ with an interesting condition. This is that at his death all his personal belongings. including his clothes and furniture, shall be packed in air-tight cases and preserved for two hundred years, so'that the people of that future age will be able to know exactly how professor at the beginning of the twentieth century lived.

The statistics showing the growth of our banking system are collected in an interesting form by the controller of the currency in his annual report just published.

A circular has been sent broadcast over the country by the Nebraska Re- tail Merchants Association protesting against any legislation by this congress providing for the establishment of q parcels post. It recites the reasons for the association's opposition to such a scheme and warns the retailers of the country that their business may be dealt a most serious blow unless they bring to bear on the federal law-mak- CTS the pressure necessary to defeat such legislation.
 It takes up specifically house bill No. 6.O55. as introduced in the fifty-sixth congress, and demonstrates how that or any similar measure. if enacted, would permit the mail-order houses in the larger cities to ultimately control the retail business of the entire country. The people. it says. would be taxed to pay the exepense of carrying the mer- chandise of the big mail-order houses at a cost much in excess of the amount of postage charged.
 That is only one of many reasons why parcels post is undesirable. but it is the argument that should appeal most forcibly to the retail trade of the coun- try. No doubt the same interests that have previously backed this bill will be on hand promptly in Washington to push it through congress at this ses- sion. The Nebraska association's pro- paganda is therefore timely and most important, and 1t should be followed by retailers everywhere who are alive to their own interests and appreciate the fact that it is vastly easier to pre- vent mischief than to undo it.

 The frequent political disturbances in the Latin-American countries are q
 perpetual puzzle to the CASTRO Anglo Saxon mind. Some AND of the more progressive DIAZ. members of the Pan-
 American congress have sought to explain why it is that peace and quiet are unknown to our south ern neighbors. Commenting on the speeches of Senor Ragosa, president of the congress. and the other ad- dresses on the same subject, the Mail and Express points out that to stu dents of conditions in Central and South America the reason for the end less anarchy has always been appar- ent enough. As that paper explains: .'The United States. when it obtained it's independence. already possessed or- ganic equilibrium. and with it the habi. of mind which led even the most am- bilious politicians. at the very time when they were seeking their own ends in public affairs, to endeavor to attain these ends as the result of an actual
 
 Spanish American countries not only had no organic equilibrium, having sprung from the depths of the most complete submissiveness and isolation but they possessed no men who had any notion of real respect for the people. They sought popularity in superficial ways. but only with the idea of trick ing the people,
 The world is just now having an op- portunity to watch the operations of typical South American politician brought up in this school of trickery. We refer to Cipriano Castro, President of Venezuela by his own act of usurpa- tion. This man calls himself a liberal. but he is quite destitute of any real principles. Liberalism in that part of South America means little more than opposition to the church. His only idea is to trick his countrymen and the world into leaving him to his power and plunder. He is at present engaged in an attempt to shelter himself against German demand, behind the Monroe doctrine, and it at the same time invok- ing the name of liberalism to get the United States to overthrow the con- servative government of Colombia.
 One of our representatives at the Pan-American congress-. MT. Barrett, other day, and invented the phrase the Diaz doctrine" to describe the Mexican presidents prudent system of rule and international comity. Ameri- cans have the best reason for their ad- miration of and confidence in Presi- dent Diaz. Their only misgiving in connection with him is the fear whether his really beneficent rule will not leave Mexico helpless when it is taken away whether it has contributed to any degree toward that "organic equilibri- um' which Senor Ragosa says the tin-Americans need.
 Happily there is much reason TOT the this. Gen. Diaz has been doing what he can, during his long rule, to train his countrymen in the exercise of the powers and restraints of local self-gov- ernment. Instead of being more help less by reason of the prolongation of his presidency, they are really likely to be less so. The United States is most cordially disposed toward Mexico as the result of Diaz's prudence, and in any emergency our government is likely to treat the republic with gen. erosity.
 But it will probably decline to pull the chestnuts of the Venezuelan Castro out of the fire for him.
