o! the numerous bank failures in virions
pvtsof the country have puszlel even the
flnnnolal experts, and no satisfactory reason
bns as yet been advanced in explanation of
the unrest In banking clrolet. In order to
give the aspect of the situation a viewed by
the Treasury Department, Comptroller
Eckels Submitted to a formal interview, JIls
views are, tn part, as follow
'There is nothing in the chtraiter of the
bank failures which have ocaurred in tho
West and Northwest within the past week
or mouth to cause any publlo apprehension
of a general return of bank troubles. If sny
deduction is to be drawn from them, quite
the reverse would be true. The genor.il
eltuaiion for strength in the banking world
of Ohloago, for instance, could not be better
Illustrated then by the fact that, without
previous expectation upon the part ot the
public there or elsewhere, the second largest
National bank in the city could be closed
and no other result follow thnn the failure
of Institutions for whioh it had long been the
feeder. The Atlas went out ot its own mo
tion, paying all ot its creditors on nemauu,
nnrt wns in a perteotly solvent condition.
"At Minneapolis a bank bslonelng to the
National system has been closed beoause of
a-want or immedlnte convertible assets, tho
accumulation of a penod when fortunes
were being made by the mechanical act or
marking up the price of town lots. Tho in
debtednesj due is not beyond a quarter of a
million, and will probably be paid without
the intervention of a receiver, as will that of
the bank which failed in Dulutb two weeks
since. When you add to these two the one
. which failed at Sioux City. Iowa, three
, weeks ago; tho one at Sioux Falls, South
Dakota: the one at Garnet, Kansas, and the
one at Kansas City. Mo., you have a total
number of failures of National banks in the
West since November 1 ot eight out of
total of 1533 located tn that section. The
percentage, it is teen, is exoedingly small.
"Out ot tho total of 1539 National banks In
the East, only two have failed, and of the
657 in the South, only three. The grand
total failures has been only thirteen out of
8830.
"It would be remarkable if after the long
strain of a political campaign turning so
Inrgely upon the discussion ot the money
' question, with an aggressive earnestness on
the part of both contending parties, some
bank and business undertakings did not feel
tho strain and glvo way. An analysis of
each case, however, demonstrates that in the
failing bank itself is to be found the direct
cause of the failure, an t while general con
ditions may have hastened the end, they
could not alone have accomplished it. Bad
methods of bauking, negllgonce of officers
and directors, whether tn a large city or a
small town, can resnl; in only one thing,
and that fillura. These same Institutions
would fail in good limes under similar
management, aud therefore it cannot be
nrsued from them that even under a con.
tinuatloa of preseot business condition fatl
nre will come to any banking Institution
which has been conservatively aud honestly
managed.

the caue of each failure.
"In the light of things doneand the things

CUIlPK Bones to Save Feed.
Bather than stand ths cost of feeding

There is an old English rhyme which
says:
"A pastor without any people
Is like a church without a stecpls."
Dean Swift added two lines, which said:
"A people without a pastor
Aro like a dog without a master."
This fits us better, for we have lost
ours and are now groping around in
search of another one. Calling a
preacher is always a perplexing and
tViincr to do. 'What is
the best mode of procedure has long
been a v;xed question among the
churches. There are some objections
to every method that has been tried.
It is like the election of judges of our
courts; nine times in my recollection
tho mode of their election has been
changed in Georgia and now the press
and the people are howling for another
change. 13ut the churches don t
change. They think it better to en
dure the objections rather than aban
don the faith and formula of their fa
thers. The Methodists get their
nroachers from the bishops
and the people hav6 no choice in the
selection. If they are disappointed
they make no complaint, for they know
that the year will soon pass and a
change will come. The rotation must
go ou. There is no interregnum.
They are never without a preacher.
This plan saves the people some em
barrassment. It is hard upon the
preachers and especially upon their
wives and children. No permanent
abode: no home attachments; no vine
and ficr tree; no neighbors of long
standing who have been true and tried
in sickness and health. Ey the time
thev betrin to know them and to love
them the year is gone and they must
separate. Pr. Johnson, the great phi
losopher, said: "I have always looked
npon it as the worst condition of man's
destiny that persons are so often torn
asunder iust as ihey become happy in
other's society." Methodist
preachers' wives and children are the
gypsies of the church. I have always
sympathized with them.
Another objection to the Wesleyan
method is tho bishop's lack of infor
mation as to the needs of the different
churohes and the qualifications of the
preaohers to be assignel. Of course
he has to consult the elders and these
have thsir favorites, their college
mates, their likes and dislikes, and the
appointments sometimes are disap
pointments and cause heart burnings
that are smothered, but felt. . We see
by the papers that Eev. Robert
Toombs Dubose, a grandson of Bob
Toombs, was given six little scattered
country churches for the coming year,
and he'says he cannot take the burden,
for his health is very poor and the win
ter's travel from church to church
would endanger his life. It looks like
somebody ought to have known this
before. Some forty years ago a Mr.
Graves wrote a sarcastic, unkind book
about this power of the bishops over
the people, and pictured a great iron
wheel revolving horizontally and the
bishops sitting on it in dignified ease,
while the wheel rested on the bowed
shoulders of the humble preachers.
The Episcopalians tret their rrcacb.
ers from the bishops, too, but they
don't rotate, neither do they cet fai
away from railroads or civilization
Thev are the most devoted sectarians
of all Christian denominations de
voted to their church, its venerable re
nown, its rituals and traditions de-
voted to their bishop almost to idola
try. An iudifferent preacher is all the
same to them as the most eloquent di
vine, for they perform as much of the
service as he does and only need him
for a leader. If he can lead the ritual
massing well and administer the com
munion he is all right with them. It
is an admirable feature in the ritnal of
this church that the people both young
and old take so prominent a part in the
service. I asked a critical cynical
friend one Sunday morning where he
was Koing in such a hurry. "I'm going
no to my church to worship God, not
man," said he. I read the other day
about an old fisherman who had taken
a great liking to an Episcopal preacher
w ho was fishing in his neighborhood
and he accepted his invitation to come
and hear him prt-ach in neighboring
chureh next Sabbath. lie put on hi
b ft clothes and rode the old mare to
the little chapel and took a front seat
and tried to be devout for the first time
in his life. Alter the service was over
he took the preacher by the hand aud
said: "Well, parson, I promised to
come and I come. I didn't understand
much of what you was saying and do
ing, but I ris and sot with you the best
I could." I have always thought that
there was most too much risin and sot
tin in that church and not enough in
the others. We took a little city boy
with us to church last Sunday. It was
his first adventure of that kind, but
he had been going to matinees.
"AunJy, what are they all doing now,"
he whispered. "They are saying their
prayers," she said. . So he bowed his
head and repeated, "Twinkle, twinkle
little star." After the service he said
he didn't think it was much of a show.
The Baptists have the most demo
cratic method of calling a preacher. It
is the very essence of simplicity. They
call whom they please and every mem
ber has a vote. They keep him as long at
it is mutually agreable and either part j
can dissolve the relation at pleasure.
Of course there is always some embar
rassment about getting rid of an un
welcome preacher, but there is one waj
that is generally successful. They can
; i,h Ia ttia rich! sort of a man. Maybd
he does not wear well and his pe -pi
are tired of him. And so he is ft sus
pect. The test of a preacher irom a
single sermon and a day's acquaint-
uniair iriai ooiu
anoa is a very
to
call is strictly democratic for everj
nnmr.or inn a vote, but after the call
is made aud the preacher ordained ai
pastor the presbyter locks the dooi
and puts the key in its pocket and sayi
now that you have got him you mus1
teen him 'till I say no. It is like the
l.w nf marriaore and divorce. It iseass
uough to get married, but it used to be
dUite a difficult thing to gel unmarried.
I say "it used to be." It is not much
trouble now, neither is it as much
trouble as it used to be for a preacher
to get divorced from his church. If
he gets tired he goes. If he has a
more inviting call he goes. If the
climate does not agree with hiu health
ho goes. If his salary is noi prompuy
paid, he goes, and I see iu a late paper
that a preacher says the reason why he

right. It is the unwritten law oi we
church and of the state the law of
business and commerce and art ana
society. For ministerial talent there
is always room at the top.
I was ruminating about these things
because we have lost our preacher and
are looking around for another. He
had a call to a bigger and maybe a bet
ter place with a larger salary; and he
accepted before we hardly knew he was
called. He hadent finished up this
church and he knew it but I reckon
was afraid that it would finish him up
if he staid, for the times were so hard
we couldn't pay him promptly, though
we did the best we could. Preachers
want their salary in the bank, and it
ought to be. I was present once when
a preacher was ordained. After the
ceremony, when the people went up to
give him their hands and their bene
dictions, one old man said, "May the
Lord keep vou humble; we win Keep
you poor." And they did. For forty
veers I have been looking for a country
church that paid the preacher a suffi
cient salary and paid it promptly.

., a or. annifltimes with their wives and
nhiWlren. but after all they are as
jiwii .'ts best people wo have got ana
apt us the best examples. How soon
we would lose our morality without
them. They have their likes and dis
likAfl. and perhaps their favorites in
the church, and so do we, In the old
times they preached for smaller saia
ries. rue salary was a secouumj cuu
siilArntion. but now it is the first.
Over fifty vears aso I went to scnooi
to an Irishman who suddenly took
notion that he would quit teaching an
aa to preaching. He studied a year
and then applied to the presbytery at
Columbus for examination and license
The committee reported favorably and
he was about to pass successiuuy,
when Dr. Goulding, the moderator,
leaned forward and said: "I will ask
the candidate a single question. Broth
er Gray, do you feel in your heart that
the Lord las called you to preach the
gospel to tie people?" "Yes," said he,
"if they pay me for it." He was not
lioensed. He attached too much im
portauce to the pay.
The other day I met my friend Mil
ton Candler in Atlanta and asked him
about a young preacher, and he said:
"Yes, he is a very promising man. I
expect you can get him. What salary
can you pay?" When I told him he
looked surprised and raid: "No more
than that? I don't think you can get
him. Good preachers have gone up."
There are but few long-continued
pastorates in these later years. As
soon as a preacher gets a reputation he
is called to a wealthier church, and he
noes. It is easy for him to see that
the wav is clear and it is the Lord's
will when the salary is increased. The
pastorates in England and Germany
are life-long and their is no chance for
the college graduates save to wait for
their death or superannuation or for
new churches to be established.
The Presbyterian mode of calling
pastor has no fixed rules or usages.
For awhile the vacated church is all at
sea, but by and by the applications be
crin to come in and references are
given. A correspondence is had and
inquiries are made as to the applicsnt'a
character as a man and a preacher and
a worker, and as to bis wife and child
ren. If it be practicable he is invited
to come and preach a trial sermon and
mingle for a day or two with the peo
ple. This is a hard experience on any
sensitive Christian man, for he realizes
that he is on trial and the jury is com
posed of perhaps hundred men and
women to whom hi is a stranger and
who know nothing of his inner life,
his emotions, his straggles and mis

"Castoria Is an excellent medicine for chil

good effect upon their children
Lowell, Mass.
- Castoria Is the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the
real intert of their children . and use Castoria
instead of the various quaclc nostrums wnicn
are destroying their loved ones, Ly forcing
opium, morphine, soothing syrup and other
hurtful agents down their throats, thereby
tending them to premature graves.
