NOYES, THE EVENING STAK has a regular and permanent circulation tn Washington three times larger than that efany ether paper in the ley. As a loca! NEWS paper and Ad- vertisiug Mediumit bas ne competitor. a ‘The hopeful tone of the New York stock market yesterday is believed to be a sign of the gradual restoration of the confidence, which has been so badly shaken in the last | few months, though nobody knows just | how. When the reaction comes and the money and stock markets resume their normal condition people will wonder why folly was permitted to reign so long. The material resources of the country, the earn- ng power of railroads and the wealth pro- ducing capacity of other agencies have not been shown. An inkling of this truth @eems to have made its way into Wall street | yesterday when an announcement was made that a railroad dividend would be paid the same as usual. It serves the specula- tive interests of some stock operators to ‘The latest plan proposed by those. who think they cannot be happy in the District of Columbia unless they have suffrage is that the District should burglarize its way fmto the Union of states. At a gathering last night a plan was detailed ty which the District 1's to follow the example of Callt- fornta—adopt a state constitution and elect or of the hearty welcome that would be ex- ‘through pressure of other business or for any reason, delays its recognition as long as it has frequently delayed District meas- ures that might be considered of almost equal importance, {s not pleasant to think of. We could have a legislature, but it ‘would have to get a permit from the Dis- trict Commissioners to hold its public ses- sions or else suffer the indignity of being dispersed by the police. It is true, the legis- Jature might arrange to go over into Mary- land or Virginia to sit. and perhaps some of the thriving suburbs of Washington across the District line would be glad to harbor it as an advertisement, but such an ing to many, even if ultimately Congress country seems to stick long after the occa- sion which-called for it has been forgotten. —___+++__—_. the legitimate demand, whose limits are fixed by the business experience of many years, is made, the savings bank to meet {t would have to realize on its securities, ‘and perhaps at a time when at such a fore- ed sale, the securities would have to be sacrificed. One of the great langers of a foolish run upon savings instituticus, if there were no means to check it, Is that securities of all kinds might be forced vpon the market at a sacrifice which would tend to general disaster. Fortunately in most cases, provision is made to protect the de- Positors against themselves, and to prevent the direful results that the whole commun- ity might suffer from a senseless panic. ‘The savings institutions reserve a right sranted in their charters to require of de- positors a notice of withdrawal, varying from ten to sixty or more days. Jn the interests of the depositors themselves this Tequirement is enforced when a tendency is manifested among depositors, which if unchecked, might greatly embarraas the business of the community. The savings banks of New York city and Brooklyn hold in trust for their depositors about $00,000- 00. Recently by common ugreement among all the banks, the regulation requir- ing a notice of withdrawal was enforced. Some unreasonable timidity had been mant- fested by depositors. The action of the banks to require notice may have averted great financial disaster, for the sudden sacrifice of hundreds of millions of secur- ities that might otherwise have veen mode necessary, would have caused a shock that might have paralyzed business throughout the country. Thus it will be seen that the interests cf depositors who make such institutions, as well as their duty, require of them to do nothing that will tend to injure them in any way, and depreciate the value of their own in- vestments. So if the present condition of affairs has resulted in making more plain the nature and helpful character of banks and the relations of savings instituticns to the people, it may be said to have some sort of benefit in the form of usefl in- struction. The depositors and the savings institutions are practically in ousiness to- wether, and the wise man will do nothing to injure the general interests of a partner- ship which has proved so advantageous to him. —_ +++ ___ Many of the local commands of the Dis- trict National Guard have made camps of their own during the past few weeks, and dates have been fixed for several more in the near future. Next Saturday the Wash- ington Light Infantry depart for Atlantic City, with all the accessories, In the way of an assured hospitality and a big attendance of friends, for a jolly outing. The departure of the Light Infantry, long recognized 2s one of the best representatives of the coun- try’s crack military organizations, draws attention anew to the subject of private camps. Like the other commands the Light Infantry will go away practically as a pri- vate organization. This does not mean‘that officers and men will not endeavor to main- tain proper discipline and obtain a certain amount of military instruction. The fact Temains, however, that in all these semi- military encampments the predom!nating characteristic 1s not military training. On these trips the several commands pay their own expenses. With a large portion of the men the camp constitutes an annual vacation and, not unnaturally, the first and main thing sought and arranged for is the having of a jolly good time. From a social stand- point all this is very charming, but in a military sense is exceedingly unfortunate, and Congress should realize at once that next year a brigade encampment of the Dis- trict guard is absolutely essential. There are hundreds of men in the local commands who, so far as field practice goes, know ab- ‘The tragic possibilities of the celigious face rioting in Bombay are limited only by the number of the Mohammedans within reach of the fury of the Hindoos. The hereditary antipathy between these peo- Deen fanned into hatred by fanat- tion is only 16 per cent of the whole, but the Mobammedans are of a higher social position as a rule and mingle contempt with thetr hatred of the Hindoos. The trouble which culminated in the riot began the result Is a concentrated fury such as only religious fanaticism can produce. The work of murder and destruction was in- nugurated In a wholesale way last Friday, a day on which both factions assembled to celebrate religious holidays. There are ever half a million Hindoos and about 160,09 Mohammedans. How many less there will be before the English authori- ties can restore peace, or the raging fire of hatred barns itself out, is a matter of spec- ulation. od t Indefinite something known as the financial situation cannot be sald to be entirely without its benefits, if it has re- sulted in the diffusion among the people of wholesome knowledge in regard wo banks and savings institutions. People who never Before gave much thought to such matters have learned a good deal, and the know- ledge they have gained has been of a char- acter which, if its dissemination ts wide enough, will do much toward prevcnting foolish panics on the part of saviags de- positors. They have learned among other things that they have common interest with the savings bank and anything done to injure or interrupt the business of the iystitution, is an injury to themselves. The showing made by the savings institutions of the country, creditable alike to their managers and to the people, has always Been a matter of pride to Americas. Still the conduct of depositors at times indicates that the nature of banks where savings are Geposited has never been thoroughly un-| derstood or appreciated. Judging from the course frequently pursued the common idea of @ savings bank ts that of an institution with « big strong vault where the Jeposit-| ors money is locked up, ready to be handed out to him at call. It never occurs, appar- ently, to people who seem to hold chis view, that a savings bank could hardly a‘ford to pay interest on deposits just for the privi- | lege of locking it up in a vault. If this were the function of a savings bank the institu- tion instead of being a benefit would he a positive curse. The savings bank, as well} as banking institutions generally, o Pee | fraportant service not to its deposito-s only, Dut to the whole community. It enables | parsons who make small savings io obtain | interest for their money, giving them in this respect the advantages enjoyed by those controlling larger capital, but with much greater security. It is an | through which accumula! of y which might otherwise be withdriwn f-om | circulation, causing embarrassment in the | business world, find their way into the ehannels of commerce, thus adding to and helping to maintain the prosperity of the community To accomplish ‘hese bern cent ends the savings bank seeks the best favestments for the money intrusted to it. | It becomes virtually the agent of the small money-holder to invest his savings for him | fn securities producing an income.

It can be readily seen, however, that no bank could do business or serve the purpose for which it was established and k hand in cash a sum sufficient to pay @ large part of tts dex much more than what may b solutely nothing about brigade maneuvers, and company or battalion visits to popular summer resorts are not calculated to in- crease their knowledge in this respect to startling extent. on ——+s____.
