boxes by means of ladder, cut a
small hole through the top of the box,
slit the black cloth and picked the

edged their paternity and pledged his

spring BY making their mother his wife.
He forfeited his pledge, he made love

NOT UNEXPECTED.
Request For a Statement Looked For
In Financial Circles.

III VIHdHCIdl SiTCIGSs
New York. Dec. 5.-The call for
statement of national banks was not
unexpected in financial circles here.
Only four os the five calls allowed by
law each year has been made, and in
the natural course Of events it was
anticipated the fifth and last call
could not be much longer delayed. It
Is felt here il will exercise a beneficial
effect on the situation. inasmuch as
banks customarily try to prepare fer
call by increasing their cash, and
when the call has been made this cash
Is automatically released. The belief
also prevails that statement result
ing from this call will show that the
cash reserve of the country benks f.
very large, and when this fact becomes
known it will tend to rapidly restore
confidence among depositors and thus
hasten the resumption of currency
payments.

his government to explain personally

also in British Columbia on the north,
upon which he based special report
to his government But 1t is believed
the purpose of the Japanese govern

First, the need for an end OF the
complete dependence on New York tf'at

day methods; second, the need tor a
Bank of the United States, with
power to hold the money market IN
equilibrium. Henceforth each tub should
stand on its own bottom and provincial
bankers should have the bulk of their
reserves in their own vaults. even II
they forego part of their profits there
by. In the effort to earn extra dollars
on the balances with the big concerns
of the metropolis, local industries are
cramped and the margin of safety, in
time of stress, becomes a delusion.
Then, again, we should see that we
must have central bank beyond the
sweep of cyclone and that such bank
must be but an alias for the United
States Treasury itself. In no other way
can all banks be given absolute assur-
af,ce against run. Secretary Cortelyou
has done his best to meet the emer-
.gency, but the taxpayers will not long
tolerate expedience which force the
government to borrow, in order to lend
gratis. Such spendthrift devices reflect
upon the intelligence of the people who
sanctions them. The government now
has more than $2oo,ooo,ooo lodged with
national banks, and this great sum will
be greater still, when the proceeds OF
the Paipma bonds and the certificates Of
indebtedness shall have been placed
The government is consequently loser
