RICHMoND's INDEPENDENCE.
City Owns and Operates Gas, EIes
trio Lighting and Water Plants.

City Owns and Operates Gas, EIec-
trio Lighting and Water Plants.
From the Roanoke EEe1ins World.
Richmond is teaching wholesome les
sons to other cities OF the State. In
municipal ownership It has been most
progressive. and We therefore find it to-
day the proprietor Of its gas, electric
lighting. and water systems, each of
which is proving successful. There are
people who argue that a municipality
cannot operate to advantage an industrial
enterprise; but Richmond with its three
plants, Danville with its lights and water,
and hundreds of other cities can show
that such arguments are absurd. Further
more Richmond Is forging ahead In the
form Of its government. Already It has
taken steps to eliminate Its unwieldIy
council. and to substitute therefor what
is practically the commission plan. Yet
another progressive scheme which II pro-
poses to carry into effect at once Is the
abolishment Of the fee system, and the
substitution Of straight salaries. Rich
mond also will adopt free school books.
All these innovations It Is seeking to es-
tablish at once through legislative enact
ment without waiting for the slow and
cumbersome movement OF its sister cities.

Raising the Maine.

The work of raising the wreck of
the battle ship Maine from its bed
in the mud of Havana Harbor has
been successful. The after portion of
the hulk, fitted with bulkheads and
stripped of the weight of its heavy
guns, is being slowly raised to the sur
face of the harbor, and will then be
towed out to the deep sea and again
sunk in a spot where it can possibly be
no impcdiment to navigation.
The work of surrounding the sunken
battle ship with a cofferdsm, of pump
ing out the water and exposing the
wreck to detailed and careful scrutiny,
is a marine. engineering feat of no
mean significance. 1t required months
of patient toll, and involved calcula-
tions upon the Withholding power Of
the materials used in the construction
of the cofferdam, that might have gone
astray and brought to naught the en-
tire work at the moment of its Sue
cess. The task, however, has been fully
accomplished, and in a few days more
the old Maine will be hidden forever
beneath the deep sea surges.
The raising of the Maine has settled
the controversy waged since 1893 re-
garding the character and cause of
the disaster. 1t has been settled that
the battle ship was first injured by an
exploding mine in the harbor, and a
few moments later was torn TO atoms
by the explosion of the magazines on
board. Divers soon after the sinking
of the vessel brought up evidence 10
the same effect, but they were not be-
lieved by many, and it required the ex-
animation Of the wreck which has now
been made to satisfy the doubters and
put the ancient controversy to rest
In addition, dangerous obstacle to
navigation in Havana Harbor will be
removed when the barnacle-covered
hulk passes out beyond the headlands
of Havana Bay, and when the debris
of the wreck and the cofferdam shall
have been taken away.
The raising of the Maine for all these
purposes was a needed work, and it has
been well done by the accomplished en-
gineers of the government engaged
therein.

Banks Must Have Surplus.

With watchful eye upon the opera
tions of national banks throughout the
country, the Comptroller of the Cur
rency has inaugurated many needed re-
forms in the conduct of banks. None
of them possibly means more to the
safety of the peoples money intrusted
to them than his latest ruling that
banks must have a surplus of at least
10 per cent of the capital before en-
gaging in business, and must increase
it afterward strictly according to the
terms of the national banking laws.
1t appears that the nation has I,2S4
banks the surplus of which is less than
20 per cent of the capital, and $50
banks with no surplus at all This con-
dition of things is regarded by the
Comptroller as dangerous from the
financial point of view, and he has issued
orders that it must be remedied at once.
Mr.. Murray ascribes this lack of sur
plus in the banks to over eager desire
on the part of directors to pay divi-
dends upon the, capital stock.
A national bank with substantial
surplus to its credit is about as safe
as a bank can be. Without such sur
plus it is weak, and in financial stress
would go down, with loss to every stock
holder. Mr.. Murray holds that when
a bank begins business it should have
a surplus to insure operating expenses
in the carly years and that the safety
fund should be built up to a substaa-
tial basis to meet any exigency which
might arise in the banks history.
In other words, a national bank can
not be wholly used by its managers to
earn dividends. 1t must provide a sub
stantial guarantee of the safety of its
deposits.

STREET CAR FACILITIES.
Washington Herald Reader Offers
Suggestion for New Route.

Suggestion Tor New Route
Editor Ths Washington Herald:
Your broadside editorial in yesterdays
paper calls for intelligent thought and
then determined action, IL the evils Of In
adequate transit facilities and resulting
congestion are to be aIleviated.
Nowhere in the city can be found as
large q section-thickly built up-without
a trolley line. as that between II and U
streets, from Fourteenth street to Con-
necticut avenue. This condition necessar-
fly overloads the lines on these last two
