Postal Banks as Buffers.

When the postal savings banks system
has been fully established it will prob
ably serve most important function in
the maintenance of stability in the finan-
cial world. II these banks are heavily
used-and there is no reason to believe
that they will not belt will be because of
the confidence felt in the government by
the small savers of the country The
postal deposits will chiefly represent, for
a considerable period, the "timorous
money" that is to say the funds of
those who distrust privately owned banks
Of all kinds and who have heretofore
boarded their cash.
The failure of a single bank spreads ap-
prehension in a wide circle. and depos-
itors are SO alarmed that they rush to
withdraw. In this manner runs" are
started, and even the soundest institu-
tons are shaken. In 1893 a few failures
caused such nervousness and SO many
Withdrawals Of funds that a panic quick
ly resulted. An immense sum OF money
was taken out Of circulation and stored
away in secret hiding places and In safe
deposit vaults, with the most disastrous
consequences to all lines Of business.
Had this money been allowed to remain fu
use it would have prevented untold dis
tress and saved the country from a.
shock from which 1t was years In re-
covering.
The postal savings banks may serve as
a buffer between the public and the finan-
cial institutions. Popular faith in the
integrity and stability Of the federal or
xanization is not easily shaken, and even
in the most tremulous times 1t is prob
able that the deposits in the postal in
situations would be allowed to remain. be-
cause Of the guarantee OF the United
States. Indeed. 1t Is likely that in such
circumstances there would be an increase
rather THAI q decrease OF deposits. and
thus the postal savings banks might. in

From the Baltimore Sun.


The completion of the canal will call
for a national celebration-not a New
Orleans nor San Francisco affair, but
one in which all sections of the coun-
try will feel and show a like interest.
1t will be held to commemorate the
completion OF a project of national
scope. a work of national benefit. The
celebration should therefore be national
in spirit and in accomplishment. 1t
should be at a place in which the entire
nation ha sequal interest; spot against
which none other entertains a feeling

the people Of the country. That city is
Washington; it could. be no other.

ton of Washington as the place for

A Lincoln Memorial.

The Senate's passage Of the Lincoln me-
mortal bill yesterday advances this meri-
torious measure to the stage OF House
consideration where 1t is to be hoped II
will be promptly pressed. This measure
does not commit the government to any
particular form of Lincoln memorial. sim

the President, the Senate and House Ii
brary committee chairmen and another
member from each house, this commission
being empowered to procure location
and a design for a monument In wash
ington and to proceed with the construc-
ton as speedily as practicable. In other
words. according to this bill. Congress
relegates the whole question of the char
acter and site of the national tribute to
the war President to an official body
serving in its stead.
commission OF five members. headed
by the President and otherwise composed
of leading members of the two branches OF
Congress. may be safely intrusted with
the responsibility of determining upon the
character and position of what should be,
perhaps next to the Washington Monu-
ment, the most significant memorial
structure at the Nationa, Capital. Expe-
rience has proved that 1t is extremely
difficult to get any specific plan for
work of this character approved by the
two houses. There is too wide range
of personal opinion, too little careful
study of the subject. A small body of
five members can give to this matter a
much more satisfactory degree of con-
sideration and reach a more reliable con-
cIusion.
The Lincoln memorial should have been
authorized a year ago, at the time when
the centenary of the martyred Presidents
birth was observed. The failure to act
then. however. should in no sense be re-
garded as warrant for further postpone
ment. but should instead be an additional
stimulus to bring the House now to the
point of prompt action SO that by the
time of the final adjournment in March
the organization of a fully empowered
commission will have been effected, and
this patriotic duty, neglected for so many
years, will at last have been placed in the
way Of fulfillment.

such time OF stress, become an element
OF salvation.
The private banking interests have
nothing whatever to fear from the postal
savings institutions. In fact, they should
regard them as a distinctly friendly fac
tor. in time of both financial peace and
war. in calm as well as in storm. 1t might
be that in time of general apprehension
funds would be withdrawn from private
banks for deposit with the United States
but they would be still saved to circuia-
ton and would play their part in main
tanning sufficient volume of currency
for the transaction of the country's bust
ness. 1t is always to be remembered that
the panic days are few in comparison
with the days of prosperity, and that
while the skies are clear the postal banks
will be serving all other fiscal establish
ments valuably in training the people to
save their surplus and to use 1t by in
trusting it, through the United States, to
the banks.

Mrs. Camp" in the Confessional.

Congratulations to those democrats of
the House who yesterday reversed them
selves on the subject Of "Cannonism."
Their action shows that they are "practi-
cal men,: that they have the capacity to
do business. They can take their own medf-
cine. bitter though 1t may be. And it is
well that they are already beginning, for
the vial is full. the spoon ready. and
doses are likely to be frequent when they
come into their kingdom. shut your
eyes. and open your mouth, and take 1t
all down." Like good little boys. they are
needing the old adjuration heard when,
doubled up with collie, they viewed with
feelings of anxiety the doctor bending

healthy medicine is. Medicine is made to
do business. 1t has a duty to perform 1t

purpose. And when you need it, you need
IT as a Texan does his pistol-like the

Suppose the wicked republicans ara

Laugh, and the world laughs with you;

Which is fair political rendering Of

IT IS an old story--sometimes tragic.
sometimes pathetic, sometimes simply

the present case. and certainly nothing

not let it go at that? The laughter will
last only for a moment. and then to busi-
ness.
The next House will have its hands full
The republicans may be united. The DEM
ocrats will be divided. There must be
rules-good. workable rules-for such a
situation. How should they be drafted?
With a view of escaping a charge of in

and even coddled a boom for the presi-
dency. But they proved beyond him.
After a term or two in the national
House, he decided to give Cleveland the
benefit of his talents, and several times
they were accepted. He offers them still

Then we have the story that the Hon.

turn to the Senate He neither denies nor
confirms. For forty years he was IN

pable of performing a miracle It's SOIL Is
not rich enough, its climate not saiu-
brious enough, to convert an orator anu
legislator into a contented follower or the

in the report that Mr.. Blackburn would
be glad to unhitch his horses and pack his
grip for further service in this town. And
by the way. he is to be heard at the Bal
timore jubilee, and it will be his first ap-
pearance for a long time.
There are others-many others. Is there
exaggeration in the statement that the
woods are full of them? The truth is that

all who enter the field, and show taste
for the work. and achieve success In IT,

for years had part in shaping Uncle Sam S
