Bankers Interest in Efficiency

For a number of years conservative
investors have sought gilt edged"
railroad bonds. The demand has ex-
ceeded the supply for two reasons
absorption by the regular investors
in bonds of this class and an increase
In the number of investors who de-
manded safety of principal above all
else. This demand has resulted in
lowering the yield on railroad bonds
to such point that these Investments
prove unattractive to any but the
very wealthy of the ultra-conserva-
tive.
As a consequence other gilt-edged
bonds have been sought. Thus the
public utility field has been invaded
and the same result has sensued,
namely, the supply of gilt-edged gas,
electric, traction and water works
bonds is well-nigh exhausted. And
the yield is continually growing less
because of the increasing price in
vestors are willing to pay to insure
security of their capital.
What will be the result?
Other classes of bonds must be
sought.
What are the likely ones?
There are two: (a) foreign securi-
ties, in. countries less developed; tt)
industrial bonds in our own country,

ferson Davis became president of the
Southern confederaey Cushing wrote
him a letter in which he recommend
ed somebody for minor appoint
ment. The letter was preserved and
was brought out from some hiding
place as soon as Grant nominated
Gushing for chief justice.
1.-THE fact was that there had been
a very strong personal friendship es-
tablished between Mr. Davis and
Caleb Gushing at time both were
members of President Pierce's cabi-
net. There was nothing in the let
ter TO indicate that Cushing was in
sympathy with the attempts to es-
tablish the Southern confederacy.
Il was also told that no one sooner
recognized the necessity of withdraw
ing his nomination for Supreme Court
Justice after that letter was produced
than Gushing himself, although he
had forgotten all about it. The Incl
dent never impaired the friendship
established between President Grant
and Caleb Gushing. Only G few
months later the President nominate
ed him for minister to Spain. Presi-
dent Grant was immensely impressed
with the services rendered by Mr..
Gushing when he was one of the
|
States before the Alabama claims
tribunal at Geneva
There was, however, one mystery
respecting the nomination for chief
justice, which I was never able to
solve. President Grant sent to the
Senate the nomination of George H.
Williams, of Oregon. after he had
withdrawn General Cushing's name.
Williams had been a United States
senator and very influential man.
Grant was very fond of him. He was
member of Grants cabinet as attor-
ney -generai, but the Senate decidedly
and impressively. for reasons which l
have never been able to discover, OBJ
jccted TO the nomination. That was
all the more surprising, in view Of the
fact that Williams had been so long a
member of the Senate.
ut was for the good fortune of the
country, however, for it made possible
the nomination of Morrison r. Waite,
whose rank as chief justice became
very high"

Che Fire on TIE Bill

It's autumn, my dear. There's fire the hill,
And rolicking wind that cannot keep still
Is blowing IT hither and yon as he will.
He's blowing the gold flames of trees that are tall,
And blowing the red sparks of leaves as they fall,
And blowing blue haze, like smoke, over all.
He's swaying the tree-tops in fambeau-ke flare,
And scattering the easparks through smoe-tinted air.
And leaving the burnt branches blackened and BARE
To strum with his fingers, strings of Tyre.
On the ground the leaves lie in their funeral prye
All shrveed and faded with heat of the fire.
Brown ashes of summer that's fragrantly fled,
The sad-colored ghosts of the leaves that red,
The dingy first fruits of the autumn-quite dead.
For it's autumn, my dear, with fire on the hill;
And a rolicking wind that cannot keep still
Is blowing it hither and yon he will.

Mothers Pensions in Washington.
From the Springfield Republican.
The mothers pension law in the
State of Washington Is having an
effect which it's friends had not an
ticipated. The Seattle -Intelli-
gencer, reviewing four months of its
operation, says:
at has filled the children's homes
very near to capacity through the
giving up to institutional charge of
the children of unsuccessful appli-
cants for pensions. Prior to the TAX
ing effect of the law mothers made
every effort to hold the children of
the family together. being cognizant
of the added income that the law
provides for each child. When II
was discovered that absolute penury
is a condition precedent to the
granting of a pension the families
began to break up. The reports of
the local investigators show that
there has been rather more fraudu-
lent dealing than might have been
expected. In many cases perjury has
been committed and false represen-
tations have been made as to the
personal financial conditions. On the
other hand, many applicants for
pensions who have sorely needed help
have been reluctant to come forward
with their demands, and have sought
to avoid the publicity of asking for
public aid. In the mass of investi-
CATION confronting the pension off,

Here we come upon the funda-
mental difficulty with pension sys-
tens, which causes them to be dis
trusted by many who cannot be sus-
pected of want of feeling. The
chance of getting even a small living
for nothing can be very insidious
temptation, as the history OF vet
Grams pensions shows, and many are
the needy veterans. on the other
hand, who have shrunk from apply

these exhibitions of greed and mem
