A Word In Ilehalf of the Bank.
To the Editor of the ??i^^'rh .?
I have noticed from tun?? to ti-,"in the
Dtatatcb ? number of artici.??? rel*ting to
our national-bunk systcin. We ????? no rea
lon why the? ?boula ??t? any new advan
ven them, or why they should be
displeaeed by grMnbacka or some other
form of paper farculation, Mi believe
that under tb? pr ?went law they?r?avllow< d
t?. iasua bavnk note* to the ?mountof M per
cent, of th? United Bt*1 - bonds which
they deposit in th? Tn-asu-y. andthe great
cla-.m of injustice set up I'.v thoa? opposed
to this system is that they cet interest on
their loud? and also on their circulating
. -tied. With these bonds as their se?
llini?.. Now. while all tin? is true, W?
fail to perceive who is injured thereby.
Barely ?orne'on* must .'own these l?onde
until thev are redeemed by the Govern?
ment and if the banks did not own them
other* would, and th?? interest thereon
would havetobepaidjn-t the same: there?
fore u portion of them beine owned bv ?no
banks does not in ?ay way affect the tax
r the labor? r's interest a partida
Thin a? to the bunk?, many of them havo
reduced tbe amount of their bonds held,
?.that their rirculatinp notes do not re
,,-. s. nt mor? tl.au on? half of their capital
;??? th.-so lion.Is now be.-ir only ?
Bt. inter-st, and a portion of that is
?Mid back to the Government in the form
ofbovernment tax on dividendi declared
tywth* banks. Aud any new bank that
now ?tart-, or anv old bank that deeire?
to iocres?? its own bank notes has to pur?
chase th?s?- bond- at a premium of ai.o-.it
. nt. So that the premium knocks
oui the heft of the profite on the bonds.
We beUev? it is conceded by all that we
now havo the be-t banking nvetem ever
adopted by this Government, and 8T48?
busmess-m'an knows the eonvenienco and
ndvantag" that our bank? afford the p*o
,,1. and with the risk? that they have to
take in th?? business.
They need all tho advantages thev get
from the Government bonds andwith the
perfect security they ulh.rd their bill
i. having to |.ermit tb? Government
to examine and publish a report: of their
condition a? often aa it eboc*** wc doubt
if anv b-tt.r scheme can be devised.

Th? Married Man and the Bachelor?Ur
ply t.? "Delta."
No. 8.
Richmond, Va., February 23,1S91.
To the Edi'or of the DUpak? :
Permit m;? to reply in few words to a netv
champion of the bachelor "estate" in your
last Sunday ? issue. like hi? predecessor,
be is MTV'courteou-. I should Judge ho
wns hardly a bachelor ? i. c, thirty ?, but
that be iraa fresh from the study of (jrreek
and i? now engaged in iBBOCent flirtations
with bright-eyed girls. Like th?? honey?
!? , boia going from flower t?> flower ox?
tracting their sweets, aad cannot think it
i-, vet qnite time to engage in oornvtnu ting
a love for tho ?winter. He iiiav have but
lately read the "Arabian Night Tales," and
hasnotfully waked up tot!, ci,alines of hfe.
If ho has a big patrimony he may allow
himself to continu?? awhil" longer iu thia
, tle-bnilding." in which be eeema aa
adept. Be think? " anticipation " ie bet?
ter and brighter than realization. This
teems to t>e the gist of hia song. Rut wait
aw!,il", any friend. LetOiptd traaafis ron,
a?<1 while yu stand out in the cold let an?
other f<'llow have your sweetheart by the
hand at tho church altar and the mm stir
proeeeda to say "1 pronounce you 'man
and wife together,"' and you will then re?
alize there there is something a little bet?
ter than "anticipation.'' The other fellow
in?ido will have the realization and your
j cherished " anticipatiou " will bo as bitter
I a? wormwood and gall.
Go with vur dojfS into the woods and
?remain till i P. M. fasting and return homo
balf-etarved and let year landlady ?ay:
" Mr. Delta, l di?l not erre your disner, be
0808888yon tlu?k 'anticipation' la betti r
than 'realiaatloB1 I thought you might en
Joy the three hours' duluy till supper. It
vo'n have vtaited Niagara, HelroM Abbey,
by ";ii?i"n!ight," or tueColliseum you will
find little comfort in your new doctrine.
Like the Queen of Bheba you would say,
"Half had not been told me." Very young
ami enthusiastic people sometimes form
exaggerated views of anticipatoli good and
ar?? often disappointed, but this is not the
rule with older persona, certainly.
it is very beneficent in Providence to give
us both tho anticipation and realization,
? greatly multiplying our jovs. [art
bare in parenthosei that it is very
ki.-ni in our Creator to endeavor to turn
us away from sin bv putting before our
miada both tho anticipation and the reali?
zation of punishment by th? most dreadful
i mago?. Delta exhorts bis bachelor friends
to go on and " build castlo.s"--not to dis?
pel the happy illiuuoiis. 1 think it wise iu
men to builil real bous??? and homes ruther
than airy eiiptles. I hey will shelter him
better. Dr. Young would call him
a "dreamer of gay dreams," and in?
fluir? "h?>w be will weather an eternal
night wneti such cxp?? beut? fail." Ufo
i? no dream. "I'm fact, not fiction. It is
l?r??"Uiuit with responsibility, deep and
hi"h. It has in it life and death, time and
eternity, aeoountabilitv for loss aud gain!
How, then, cans nsible mou spend all their
tira?'iu dreaming y Ta? Worse than mad?
ness. If UkV friend i? thirty he ?hoald say
