THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. rai less of those who rush to the banks to with- Graw their deposits under the idea that their money will be safer in their pocket books or stockings than in the fron vaults of the bank. There are innumerable in- stances where hoarded wealth has been destroyed much more effectually than would have been possible through the operations of an expert bank-wrecker, and of such occurrences several are on retord as of recent date. Thousands of ultra-careful and thoughtfully gone quietly to the tastitutions ing money qualified had no present use. out-of-the-way corner and are, very urally, « to its safety fn the hands Mls seem to parative peace the cash tion of the bank. ‘Much ingen’ concealment of currency, ways great the most cure hiding. in active lady now itinerant dealer ments for could have no fied to discover when she tioned the later that of one of the disposed-of vests to the value of seven hundred dollars! Burglars have taken advantage of the scare and seem to have exi ever since this run on the nation’s currency commenced; in one case following a Jaden farmer from the bank to his home and there succeeded in transferring to their own persons the dis- turbing metal and paper. Fire and water sively that the losses suffered by individuals caused by bank failures. The partment is frequently called upon to iden- tify, if possible, fragments of macerated paper which was once legal tender of con- siderable value, but which lost its current shape and very much of its commercial usefulness because it was buried in the earth or poked away in the darkest corner of 2 closet where the mice and the ever hungry roaches bad lots of fun with it. An exam- ple from which a lesson ought easily to be extracted was a handful of gray-green dust that would have been worth three thousand doilars had the notes been placed to the owner’s credit in a good bank. American people are properly credited with being keen, practical business folk,and yet, during the passing crisis, thousands of rational and commonly shrewd men and women have senselessly drawn their money from the security of the banks, and, by hoarding it and withdrawing it from circu- Jation, have caused the present dearth of currency, which is destroying business and making “hard times.” Nothing would be more potent in break- img up the stagnant conditions than the prompt return to circulation of the count- less rolls of promises to pay now, without Yeason, stuffed in unprofitable holes and corners. —____+ ++ ____ A favorite recreation at this season of the year is a drive in the cool of the even- ing over the smooth roads of the mall. The ‘widespreading forest trees and the magnifi- cent sweep of lawn are attractive features of the gracefully winding ficiently rural to gratify the taste of a good many people. Since the bathing beach has been im operation many of the riders and rivers pause near the beach and watch the bathers disport themselves in the water, ‘The scene on any fine evening is pleas- antly suggestive of the seashore, but the establishment of a garbage-burning plant only a short distance away neutralizes sev- eral of the agreeable features. The odors that sweep across the mall lack fragrance and are entirely out of harmony with the pure atmosphere which is supposed to be found in the vicinity of woods and fields and flowing streams. The necessity for garbage destruction is admitted, but there 4s no unanswerable reason why a commend- able sanitary accomplishment should de- stroy one of the city's most healthful re- sorts. ———__ +++ —__ Congress will have to fight out the silver Problem all alone, for a while at least. The President's departure today for Buzzard’s Bay is in the nature of a notice that the Executive has done its duty and the re- sponsibility now rests with the legislative branch of the government. It also suggests that the more promptly they discharge their duties the sooner legislators can seek, as the President has, the refreshment of seaside and mountain. ——_—++<_____ ‘The appointment of Hon. Jos. H. Outh- torial waite to the committee on rules places that gentleman in a position conspicuous for its honor and responsibilities. There is no doubt of his ishing himself with credit. He combines with personal force the intellectual attainments and integrity which make a man not only a competent leader but a safe one. —+-—____ It remains to be seen whether the ex- ultant note that is heard from the trolley mantpulators over the establishment of the obnoxious wire at Gettysburg will resound 4m Washington. The combine even with its abundance of money will hardly be vic- torious in this undertaking; and if it Is, it will be a victory of treachery and shame. ———- ++ Among the important trusts committed to Mr. Cleveland is that of the care of the President's health. He is, therefore, dis- charging a public duty when he goes away where he believes he can find the rest and the salubrious air that will restore that health to its usual vigorous condition. ree —____ Of the many important duties devolving | ‘upon Speaker Crisp the people of Washing-| ton are principally interested in but one! and that is the selection of the House com- mittee on the District of Columbia. That organization may do more good and can do more damage to local interests than any other legislative subdivision, and if the mo- nopolistic schemes can only have their way it will be decidedly mischievous during the Fifty-third Congress. To the District com mittee all bills in which this city is espe- clally concerned are referred and upon the conclusions reached by two or three mem- bers the whole committee recommends and the House itself frequently bases its action. For many years it has been about the most o desirable assignment for selfish and con- actenceless men and although congressional are supposed to be much more pure than they were in the Pacific Mail and Credit Mobilier days the difference is in the absence of evil appearance rather than the absence of evil. There are weak and wick- ed Congressmen, just as there are weak and Wicked men in all lines of endeavor, and in the great rush that is being made for place eu the House District committee it is more than probable that a few undesirable beings gould without much difficulty be found. The promoters of cheap but murderous street car motive powers, representatives of the steam railroads, and delegates from pofntment. This is nothing new, but it is especially conspicuous now because the com- lH iz than corporate power and the personal profit which will come from out such increase. —___++ = __ “Old Hutch” is sald to have made $50,000 in a lard deal in Chicago.

A Washington small boy, who makes a companion of a water spaniel, appeared be- fore the family the other day with his hair plastered close to his head and with a general air of disappointment about his clothes. “Have you been swimming?” askei his father. “No, that is—not exactly.” “What do you mean?” “Well, you see, Fido fell into the water and I took off my clothes and jumped in to rescue him.” “This,” eaid the frightened young man who had encountered some western road agents, “is positively my last appearance on any stage.” How He Did It. “T have a sure way of getting mosquitoes out of a room,” said the melancholy man at the seaside boarding house. “How do you do it?” asked several people at once. “I go out of doors myself,” he replied. He Was Outdone. “Say, mister,” said the stranger who was imspecting the pre-historic animal v ment of the museum, “who drawed them pictures?” “Prof. Simson.” “Did he 'magime he saw ‘em? “In @ certain sense I suppose you might say so." After a silence, he resumed reluctantly. “Well; I must confess that he's seen some that’s bran’ new to me.
