Qneninu the Ballot Boxes.

A recount of the votes cast in New York city is needed to establish the fact that no material errors were con- mitted in the first count or in the re- turns. A recount in New York is be- yond the board of canvassers. bu. on proof of fraud a court in that state can order one.
 It is announced that Tammany will oppose a recount. This is exactly what Tammany should not do. Tammany needs one more than MT. Hears. does. or anybody else or any indiv',tual, for Tammany controls the election ma chinery. and a refusal of a recount arouses suspicious, and those suspi- cions will ripen into convictions unless a recount nips them in the bud.
 Tammany has, however, retained lawyers, including Judge Alton B. Par ker, and they propose to fight a re count bitterly and determinedly. No greater mistake could be made in this matter It is tantamount to a comics, aion that the ballots were not properly

Banking By Mail.

"The banks of Birmingham are meeting with much success in their efforts to stim- ulate banking by mail in Alabama" said a man last night who has connection with one of the big city banks "It Is true the results have not been of a brilliant nature, but they are sufficiently encour- aging to induce the banks to continue their efforts in that direction. In the east and west banking by mail has be- come thoroughly established as one of the most important branches of the business, and the malls carry millions of dollars from rural districts to the financial cen- ters. It is stated that the loss in transit to and from the banks will not average a cent to the s10,0Oo, which is a remarka- ble tribute to the safety of the postal service. The Birmingham banks at the beginning of their attempts to popular ize banking by mail had to overcome the natural conservatism of the southern peo- pie, but they have now succeeded in this, 1t would seem, and I predict that next year will show large increase in their deposits from this source. If banking by mail is a good thing for other sections of the country, it is a good thing for Ala bama. That is the logic of it'
