Prof Hall took charge OF the great

1876, and few years afterward $50
discovered the satellites of Mars. which
placed him among the most distinguished
astronomers OF the age.
During the civil war President Lincoln
and Secretary Stanton. in the quiet hours
Of a summers night, visited the observa-

moon through the telescope. a few nights
afterward the President appeared at the
dome of the telescope again and asked
Prof. Hail how it was that the moon

Prof. Hall took Mr.. Lincoln In his conf

The Board of Aldermen.

| Editor The Washington Herald:
/ would like. through the columns of
The Herald, to call the attention of our
board Of aldermen. who meet Monday at
the Capitol, to a little matter which really
needs attention.
There is just one relic standing of the
days when COWS roamed the streets and
had to be fenced away from the build
ings, and that is the iron fence surround
ing the Patent Office
At one time there were fences like this
around the Capitol and most of the pub
lie squares and even the trangles and
circles, but they are all gone except this
one which inclOses the Interior Depart
ment, and that should have been the
/ first to be destroyed as II is the only one
| IN Washington which encroaches upon
and takes in part of a street. and this
street Is one OF the most used in the
| city, G street northwest.
That iron railing ought TO be removed
at least on G street The building line
Of the Patent Office extends to the curb
| line on G street and the railing goes out
/ thirty feet. forcing the car lines 10 make
curve both at Ninth and Seventh
streets, and narroWs street so that
/ traffic is impeded More accidents occur
| at these corners than anywhere else in
| Washington.
Abolish this relic of the days when the
streets OF Washington were cow pastures.
Take down the iron and it viii sell for
more than the cost of removing il and
making a narrow sidewalk on the north
side of the Patent Office. then the cars
can run straight from the new depot TO
| the Treasury. Every business man on
| G, Seventh, and Ninth will hail such aC-
ton upon the part of our city council as
a move i'm the right direction and it is
| one that will greatly facilitate travel
when the street car lines are extended 10
the new station. as they will be in q few
weeks.
There is said to be movement upon
the part Of the business men on the out
side Of this fence 10 get up petition TO
/ the council for its removal. but that
hardly seems necessary, for the mere
suggestion that the fence is there ought to
/ be sufficient cause for its removal.

Virtues of a President.

Editor The Washington Herald
In preparing for the coming Presidential
election the most important thing for the
people to consider is found in William
McKinleys last wOrds-"God's way"
Nebuchadnezzar developed the idea of
ruler to its greatest perfection. and he
had dream. which, as interpreted by
Daniel the prophet, showed that his idea
would change into limited monarchies,
empires. states. republics, and eliminate
IN the highest type Of democracy which
was represented by William Mckinley. AT
the head OF this political image Nebu-
chadnezzaT made "a distinction between
his kingdom and Gods kingdom, az the
feet of it William Mckinley, said, "God's
way
Three days before the assassination of
William Mckinley a message came from
Canada to the United States At the
coronation ceremonies of King Edward

by accident beneath the Canadian arch
A few months later the President of the
United States was stopped by accident
by trolley car.
These officers represent the people OF
Israel in the sight of God. These events
are now far enough in history 70 come
within the range of vision Of the people
and may be viewed in their true signii-
esnce.
It has been truly said that the people In
this country do not rule. The prophecy
Of Daniel states that "the kingdom and
dominion shall be given 20 the people"
They have, therefore, to change from
their present condition in order to re-
ceiye the gitg of ruling themselves. The
function Of the people of Israel is to
furnish good government TO all families

Money and Bank Reserves,

Editor The Washington Herald
1t seems strange that fnanciers do not
touch on the principal cause of the money
stringency. No other condition would be
possible after a long period of business
activity. with our present banking laws.
Statisticians estimate that there is in
the country money amounting to some
thing over two and a half billions Of
dollars, coin, currency, bank notes, and
what not
The deposits in national banks alone
amount 10 more than double this sum-.
That is, every dollar in the country has
|, been deposited in bank loaned out. and
redeposited in the national banks.
Now the banks are required by law TO
keep reserves of from u TO = per cent
according TO location Of the bank OF all
deposits. AS a matter of fact they do
keep pretty nearly p per cent The re-
port of the comptroller shows that the
national banks alone have eleven or
twelve millions, or nearly half of all the
dollars In the country, locked up in re-
serves. The banks can't loan their re-
serves. so there's about half the money
in the country practically put out OF eX-
istence for future business, being held to
protect past deposits.
But this is not all The savings banks
have deposits and Tedeposits 10 about the
same amount as the national banks
Being State Institutions, the savings
banks act under a variety of laws. and
their reserves run from 10 10 per cent
Averaging at five. the savings bank re-
serves, which cannot be loaned must be
nearly three hundred millions. Probably
the savings bank reserves are more near
Is half "a billion.
The great trust companies are about
like the savings banks. and carry at
least three hundred millions in reserves,
which cannot be used.
/ am not arguing against the desirable
ity Of bank reserves; but when about
g three-fOurths of all the money i'm the
United States is locked up i'm bank re-
serves ! begin 60 wonder If some better
plan for doing business cannot be found
. Suppose every elevator were by law
compelled 10 reserve a quarter Of all
the grain passing through. and couldn' t
sell or use that reserve but must keep
1t ON storage How long would it be
before all the elevators would be so full
they could store no more grain, and
whore would there be any considerable
quantity Of grain outside the elevators?

Willing to Debate Matter.

Editor The Washington Herald:
Before making a specific reply 10 that
portion of Dr. Kituedge's defiance relat-
ing TO myself. I desire, first, that he in
form the readers of this article why he
has declined 10 pick up the gauntlet that
has been thrown at his feet by Mr.
Bradford on three different occasions.
The statements emanating from the
pens Of the respective controversialists
are placed by an impartial editor before
the public for It's consideration, and anv
wiiful distortion Of facts must, of neces-
sity. react on the offending parties. With
a challenge hanging over his own head,
the doctor cannot reasonably demand OF
others that they take up the "meager'
space allotted them to prove their facts
and honest convictions to a traditionallv
biased mind TO the exclusion OF other
facts which they may care TO introduce.
tie should. therefore. give some valid rea-
son for his refusal to accept the chal-
lenge that has been hurled I'm his direc-
ton for joint debate of the very sub
ject now under discussion in a circum-
scTibed way
The stage in one OF our local play
houses should afford DIR, Kittredge annie
facilities for supporting "all those vitany
important affirmations" which ne claims
10 have made. When an arrangement Of
the kind proposed can be effected. merely
by an acceptance Of Mr.. Bradford's chal-
len6e. there could be TO further occasion
10 question the honesty or sincerity OF
any party involved in this controversy:
neither could there be on the part OF
Dr. kittredge further cause for COM
planning Of the 'meager space allotted
him. or 20 deplore the typographical
errors that have from time to time weak
ened the texture of his argumentative
fabric.
Paraphrasing DR.. Kittredge's own
language, If he can fulfill Mr.. Bradford S
requirements. let him hasten to do so. If
he cannot falhil them. let mis- affirma-
tions count i'm the estimation Of all the
"unacademic' for what they already
count in the estimation of every person
who is ballasted with q fair modicum Of
common sense, so far as pertains 10 the
question at issue. WILLIAM o. WATTS.
