The enlargement of the loaning power of
the financial institutions Of the District is
looked upon as having a positive influence
in the increase Of business in all branches
which is such a notable phase of recent
years. This has been due not to any par
ticular change Of policy, but mainly to the
increase in the banking resources. There
is more money held by these institutions to-
day than ever before. During the past ten
years the resources have about doubled.
At the same time it is found that the large
proportion OF the funds available for loans
can be placed here to advantage. Those
who want accommodation Of this kind also
find that not only the rate charged is favor
able but that the other conditions are to
their advantage. There is, in fact. a COM
rally facilitates the process of borrowing
money. as well as has an influence on the
question Of renewal of loans. In other
words. II a man can't get what he wants
in one place his resources are not exhaust
ed. as there are plenty others who are
anxious to employ idle money. providing of
course. its safety Is reasonably guaranteed
The interests Of both lender and borrower
are benefited by the change in the condition
OF local business. as there is a demand for
money. and at the same time the supply is
abundant.

DUTY OF THE UNITED STATES TO
 THE ISTHMUS

The maintenance of an undisturbed communication between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans is a matter of in- ternational importance The United
 States has assumed the obligation of protecting that communication. Its fulfillment of that treaty concerns not merelyl. nor even chiefly. the people of Colombia. nor yet the people of Panama; it concerns the railroad cor poration. the people of the United States. the people of the civilized world. The treaty is contract which runs with the land. When New Granada controlled the isthmns, it the isthmus from interference by eith- CT foreign foe or domestic violence. When Panama seeded from New Ora nada. our treaty to protect the free dom of. transit passed over to Pana- ma. When Panama became a part of the United States of Colombia, our treaty passed over to Colombia. Now that Panama has again seeded from Colombia. our treaty passes back to the republic of Panama Our duty is not to protect Colombia. as it was not to protect Panama or New Granada; it is to protect the freedom of tran sit across the isthmus. Our govern ment has been prompt to furnish this protection, and in so doing it treats with the de facto government actually in control of the sthmus.-Outlook. I

Tammany will be under some restraint; it will be on its good behavior; it will not go back to the regime of Van Wyck and Dew cry Tammany means. if it can. to nominate the Democratic candidate for president in 1904, and to elect him. and to do this it must not shock the moral sense of the nation as did the Tammany of Croker, Van Wyck and Devery.

John Wanamaker says: If there
 is one enterprise on earth that a quit
 ter should. leave severely alone, it is advertising. To make a success of
 advertising, one must be prepared to stick to it like a barnacle on a boats bottom. He should know it before he begins it that he must spend money-lots of it. Somebody should tell him also that he can not hope to reap results commensurate with his expenditure early in the game. Advertising doesn't jerk it pulls. It begins very gently al first, but the pull is steady. It in- creases day by day and year by ycar, until 1t exerts an irresistible power. It is likened to a team pulling heavy load. A thousand spasmodic. jerky pulls will not budge the load; while one-half the power exerted in steady effort will start ani keep itI moving"

CUT BY BIG CONCERNS
'aeorction in Wages Affects 115.0OO
 Persons in New England States.

'7eorction in Wages Affects 115.oOO
 Persons in New England States.
 Efston, Mass, Nov, 23-The 10 per cent reduction in wages in the cot ton mills of southern New England went into effect today. the cut affect ing fully 15000 operatives. From re. turns received today practically all of the mills of southern and central Massachusetts, Rhode Island and cas- tern Connecticut reduced the shedule Of wages to that in force prior to the general increase made in 1902
 The reduction was long expected by the operatives and no serious trouble is anticipated. though there is general dissatisfaction among the workers. particularly in the Fall River district. The reduction means loss in wages of between 5000, 900 and s6.OOO. .OOO.- coo annually among the cotton mill operatives.
 Cotton manufacturers give as a cause for the 10 per cent reduction in wages which became effective today the fact that they are now and have been for a long time making goods for sale below cost
 Nearly all that has been gained has been due to fortunate speculations in cotton. It is known that New Bed ford and RhoGe Island manufacturers. who follow the lead of Fall River in advancing wages. have been agitat- ing change to the old scales for | some time, but have been urging Fall l River men to initiate the movement
 In Fall River about so mills. en- | ploying slightly over 25,000 men, and | owned by 40 corporations. are repre- sented in the agreement to reduce wages. The mills at New Bedford | employ about 10000 hands. those in Rhode Island and eastern Connecticut about 25.000. and those elsewhere, which raised wages in 1902, employ from 10000 to 30.O00

THANKSGIVING WEEK.

There are two days in the year
 which by common consent more than
 any others are more enerally cele-
 prated than any others. These are
 Thanksgiving and Christmas. They
 are observed by common consent
 without any regard to political party
 sectarian creeds or religious CT so-
 cal affiliations. It is the day upon
 which the people nationally. and as
 commonwealths through proclama-
 uons of the several governors of the
 states. suggest the setting aside of
 all worldly duties, and in coniunc
 uon with the population of the entire
 country unite in offering up to God
 ne thanks of a nation which has
 prospered, as no nation on earth has ever prospered. It is a day set apart even more than Christmas for thanksgiving for the many mercies which have been vouchsafed to theI individuals of the nation as well as to the nation itself.
 Christmas. universally recognized and celebrated, is given up more to | the good cheer of life and to the con- gratulations of the future Thursday next the people Of America will as- semble in their several places of wor- ship and there offer up their thanks giving for the many evidences of those things for which we should render thanks
 AS a nation we are at peace with the world. Our crops have been su- predominant, and while we have had some misfortunes, and regrets come to us that there should have been serious dissensions in the world of labor. there has been nothing that might not have been much worse. Upon the whole the well-being of the United States has been favored to a most remarkable degree. Industrial themselves for they are the result work out their own problem. Even the widest dissensions will regulatel for they are the result only of natural laws, and will adjust themselves 10 the body polite in time.
