ton was signed by all the members
present, except by Messrs. Randolph
and Mason of Virginia and Gerry of
Massachusetts,. =,
This great instrument. the palla-
dunn Of our country's national ex.
istence, was submitted to the original
thirteen states. Not until the sum-
mer Of 17ss was the ratification of
even nine states obtained, beginning
with Delaware. OF the thirteen orig
inal states Rhode Island was the
last to accept the Constitution,
which she did in May. 1890.
George Washington presided over
the deliberations Of this convention.
and was. therefore, the first member
to sign the instrument when finished.
He said. holding the pen in his hand,
after a short pause:
Should the states reject this ak
cellent Constitution the probability
is that an opportunity will never
again be offered to council another in
peace-the next will be drawn in

DR.. Benjamin Franklin was known
as the mentor Of the convention. Had
it not been for his timely and healing
wisdom the convention would have
probably ended in the breaking up Of

ITS MAKING RECALLED

The celebration Of the 131st ami
versary Of the adoption Of the Federal
Constitution. September II. 1887. OBJ
served today under the auspices Of the
2s1 branches Of the National Security
League, recalls a brief review Of this
great instrument:
While there had been previous con-
vention of delegates from several
states. who had assembled in 1886 at
to consider the regulation
- MR0Einia taking the. lead for
a convention to amend the faulty Ar
ticles Of Confederation. the convention
of 1897. which framed the present Con-
stitution Of the United States, was first
suggested by q private letter of AL
exander Hamilton in 1880.
Meeting Is Delayed.
On the day appointed for the meeting
of this convention. May II, 1887, only
a small number Of the delegates had
arrived in Philadelphia. The delibera-
lions did not commence therefore I'M
til May IS. when there were present
twenty-nine members. representing
nine states. Others soon came in till
the whole number amounted to nifty
i've.
Never, perhaps. in all history had
any body of men combined for SO
great a purpose-to form a Constitu-
ton which was to rule SO numerous q
people and probably for all time or at
least for many generations"

No Time to Experiment.
From the New York Tribune.

The reports of the national banks Of the United States under the
call OF May 10 show that their resources have increased over
$2,OO0OOOOOO during the year. Their deposits have increase since
May a year ago s., 309, 000 900, and their loans have increased $685.
OOuOOO. 1t is not possible to find in that statement evidence of infa-
ton OF credit, as it shows that deposhors are banking their profits,
rather than relying upon the banks for loans to bolster declining
business. The reserves are now over S, 100000 900, the excess
during the year. Iois an unspeakable benefit that our banking affairs
function under strain most admirably. That is further shown by
both the expansion and contraction of the banking figures in this
city in connection with the Liberty loans.
Mr.. fireman, deputy governor OF the federal reserve bank, in his
address at Atlantic City gave similar figures in connection with all
three loans. In connection with the third loan the expansion was
from $262OO0OO0 to $655,000,0 600, with a contraction within a month
to $o3o,OO0OOO, and the reverse of the expansion is not yet done.
simultaneously, the treasury publishes the figures of the country
currency for June l. The decrease during May was ST. $4,000 and
the increase Of gold within a year was $2S5,384,0O0 The federal
growth, but not more remarkable than the growth Of trade on which
it is based, or than is justified by the amplitude of the geld cover.
Within a year it has doubled, to over 81 ,000 100000. Under old
conditions there would be anxiety about an increase of 81, 600 0UO 600
in bank notes, but they would have been %irreducible. Now the total
will shrink when trade shrinks, as naturally as it increased when
trade increased.
1t is singular to remark that, despite this satisfactory functioning
OF our banking affairs, there is a deluge Of proposal in congress to
improve upon it, and outside Of congress a like surprising number of
protests against such action. In a single day a score of banking
amendments were introduced at Washington. None of them was
asked for, and some of them were almost unanimously condemned.
For example, the bill to guarantee deposits. The loss of deposits is
only nominal, and a guarantee would work to increase the loss by
making care unnecessary. Considering how satisfactory the situa-
ton is, attempts to improve upon it are well described in the words
OF Superintendent Skinner, addressing New York state bankers at
Atlantic city:
To my mind any ne who proposes radical changes in the banking
Ia" {" Inc banking system of the country at this time invites disaster.

"Aw, don't do that" admonished the

to sing. They saw that their audience
was growing to a capacity crowd. But

Four Years AGO.

Four years ago the red god Mars
was resting, drowsy, on his throne;
and so we talked Of choo-choo cars,
n small beer gossip was our own.
Then trifling things important seemed,
n twaddle was our stock in trade;
reformers DER the country screamed
you Will recall the noise they made.
Bridge whist employed the lazy DANES
at country clubs throughout the land;
and stories of the baseball games at
eventide were in demand. Would links
be chosen county clerk, or would he
run against defeat? Discussing this
u jaws we'd work, for hours together
on the street. Would Willard get the
dinge's goat? That was one theme of
long ago.. Were girls entitled TO the
vote, or should they stay at home and
sew? The n%eighbors used to conn at
night n talk with me of many things;
and we would whoop around and fight
Ger cabbageS and cats and kings. But
since the war flags were ~unfurled and
Battle eagles raised their scream, it
seems we're in another world; the old
time planet was q dream. The country
clubs are drear and bare, no gigglc3
from their porches rise; the girls no
longer gather there, to see who gets
the BOBBY prize. And men have learned
TO think grave thoughts, and let the
beer and skittles go; to plan how they
may hand some swats, by sacrifices,
TO the foe.
