HE is A GREAT FlNANClER.
Doubtless There Are Plenty of Others
Just Like Him.

II had a conversation the other
day" said a well-to-do citizen to the
st. Louis Globe Democrat, with a
man who undertook the discussion of
the currency question and had a pet
theory on the best management of the
government finances, in order to pre-
vent recurrence of the recent panic"
My friend is unfortunately of very
limited resources, has a large family,
small salary, and, as | happen to
know, often has difficulty in adjusting
means to ends. This fact however,
does not prevent his thesrizing on the
country's financial condition, and he
can tell anybody who will listen ex-
actly what the government ought to do
and what the banks ought 70 do. and
how the two ought to cooperate, in
order to provide an elastic system of
currency which would make our fiuan
ces as strong as Gibraltar.
The conversation reminded me of
an incident which occurred a few
years ago in London, concerning
man who occupied little back room
in a'poor quarter of the east end He
was evicted for non-payment of rent.
He had nothing but a valise and a few
clothes, and while they were throwing
him and his belongings out of the
house bulky manuscript fell out of
his pocket. Nobody noticed it at the
time, but after he mad gathered his
clothes and taken his departure, one
of the bystanders saw the big roll of
paper, picked it up, and on opening
it, was surprised and amused to find
It contained an elaborate scheme for
refunding the national debt Of the
British empire"

be no doubt that their recognition of
the fact that the Moro was there with
his gun and his spear, and that his

greater number of opposing guns

had to negotiate, was the only SEN
sible, civilized and just thing for them
to do. No doubt the rights they have
thus acquired will in due time be

report says is probably the first and
only instance in the Philippine islands
of the establishment of an orderly and
well-regulated community after the
manner followed by the Anglo-Saxon
settlers of the United States His
description of its beginning throws an
instructive sidelight upon the strange
land laws" of the country. and shows
how things often have to be done there
outside the pale of the law to obtain
results that are demanded by the
needs of the people.
The new town grew out OF the ne

transfer themselves from the northern

They then raised by voluntary sub.

they placed in the hands of a commit
tee of three Americans of their mum
Der, who negotiated with the Moros
for an eligible site near enough to the
military reservation to be assured of
some protection, and purchased it. The
site was then carefully laid out, and in
accordance with a previous agreement
lots were sold at public auction to an
amount sufficient to reimburse the sub.
scribers of the original purchase price
Of the site. The remaining lots were
then decided to the town to be sold
to new settlers.
"This well-considered. orderly and
sensible procedure is, strange to say,
in its entirety without sanction OF
law" the report admits. Neither the
datto, with whom the settlers negotiat.
ed. nor any Of his followers had proved
nor could prove title under existing
laws. Neither the individual settlers
nor the town could acquire title

all his followers believed that the land

it as he did. If the settlers had not

MORGAN FORCED CRISIS.
His. Refusal to Aid Caused Sow
ereign Bank to Suspend.

TORONTO, Ontario. January 21.-The
immediate cause of the suspension OF the
Sovereign Bank was the refusal of J.
Pierpont Morgan, acting for himself and
the Dresdner Bank. to make any fur
ther advances. The sum of $500 900
would have enabled the bank to weather
the gale.
At the same time it was owing to Mr..
Morgan and his interests that the bank
was not forced to so into liquidation last
June. The present debt of the Sovereign
Bank to the Morgan interests is s2.241,-
600.
The indebtedness has been steadily
growing since the reorganization. when
the loans scattered among the banks OF
Europe amounted to over $3.30O.000. AS
these. fell duo Mr.. Morgan advanced the
money for their payment.
During the late financial crisis in the
United States money continued to be
loaned by TIE Morgan firm.
The reason generally assigned for the
assistance proffered by those outside in
stitutions is that between them they neid
over one-third of the capital stock Of the
bank. The Dresdner Bank held o.+00
shares, and Mr.. Morgan, in the names Of
other. New York men, shares valued at
over 100000. %
Since the reorganization the Dresdner
interests have decreased their holdings
only 200 shares and Mr.. Morgan not at
all. .@
