MEETING AN EPOCH.

Comparative national bank statistics compiled
by the Richmond Chamber of Commerce, so far
as they pertain to Virginia are indicative of a
remarkable growth in commercial and financial
prosperity in the State An increase of 300 per
cent il national bank aggregate resources with
in the past ten years is an astounding record
of prosperity. The banks inevitably reflect the
condition of business, the condition of business
that of the people In this increase Virginia
leads all Southern States. In view of the general
statistics of increase of growth in this respect
it is not too much to say that Virginia leads the
country We quote from the report:
I'm the past ten years the aggregate
capital of the national banks in the
South increased TOPPER cent, while in
the whole country the increase was only
81 per cent.

The aftermath of the Pollock Wise investi

ordinance prohibiting Council1nen from appear

ment of the city government in the interest of
any person matter In which the city of Rich
mond is concerned, either directly or indirectly,
is good-so far as it goes.

Of a very pretty and effective success.
As the ordinance was originally drawn it in

in the courts in amy action in which the city
might be, III any sense party at interest.
1t objected to this provision that under
Its terms Councilnen who are attorneys would
be prevented from defending clients arrested for
violation Of city ordinances on criminal or
quasi-criminal indictments.
Perhaps this objection was well taken In
such case, the city is certainly party al in
terest, at least indirectly, The true relation of
a person who has committed crime or mis-
demeanor, however, would seem TO be to the
State, rather than TO the municipality. In such
case, the city is scarcely more than the agency
created by the State for the end of good and order
~ government Whether technically true or
not, the real relation of the city 10 criminal or
misdemeanant whom it is attempting to convict
is City of Richmond er rel the State of Virginia.
In such case the city, while technically inter
ested as the agency charged with the preservation
of the peace of the State, has no such interest
as would be improperly preludiced by an appear
ance, in behalf of entitled to fair trial, of
a Councilman whose duties cease with the enact
ment of city statutes and the administration of
city business. 1t is quite different matter
for Councilman to appear for client for the
purpose of getting him the full benefit of testi-
mony and seeing that he is not convicted against
the iaw and the evidence, and for the same per-
son TO appear before board or committee of
fhe body of which he is member in derogation
of the statutes he has helped to pass or against
the city interest for which, by virtue of his of
6ce he stands as trustee.
Had the Council SO framed its ordinance AS

cent. While the Soutus individual de-
posts increased no per cent, the in
crease of the country at large was
only 40 per cent. In connection with
these comparisons, it is interesting to
note that Virginia, Maryland and
Texas each have more deposits in
their national banks than the entire
South had in 1880. In the past decade
the aggregate resources OF national
banks in the South have more than
trebled in Virginia, Georgia, Mississip-
p, North Carolina and Texas. In ten
years the number of national banks
in the South increased t31 per cent,
while in the entire country the gen.
eral increase was only 81 per cent"

but it has been creating it. 1t has wished IN

census returns are made public, the Nation will
rub its eyes. 1t will see that the field longest
neglected has become the most fertile and the
most promising. There will be scramble for

accepting an invitation.
In capital, in investment, in immigration, the
next decade will be epechal in Southern history.

the West to the South. What has been done in
