GOVERNOR WILL SEEIC
HANKING REFOILMS.

ernor Toner will renew his effort In

passage of two hills which failed of 1
enactment desplto administration in-1
dorsement In 1911 session. Ono is
known as tho 4 ecelvershlp" bill, Its
purpose being to permit tho State
Banking Commissioner to liquidate
Insolvent Stato banks and trust com
panies, saving tho time and cost ofi
the present system of receivers ap-l
pointed by tho courts. Tho other Is
to bring all private banks under tho
supervision of tho Banking Depart
ment. Tho 1911 session exompted
from State supervision prlvato banks
that had been in existonco for soven
years.
Tho Governor, It is said, will rec
ommend Increasing tho equipment
of tho Auditor General's department'
by providing threo or more experts
with wide powers of Investigation
Into tho billions of corporation capi
tal on which tho State lovies a tax.
At present tho Stato is dependent
largely on tho reports of tho corpor
ations themselves. j

"Why, ray dear fellow," ho said,
"thnt'e nothing at all. A few days
ago, right in tho heart of New York
City, threo full grown policemen
woro found asleep on ono beat."
BIG BORROWING
FOLLOWS PEACE
Enormous Ftaclal Transac
tions Wm sr Ends,
EXPECT FLOOD OF NEW LO&flS
Not Only Belligerent States Will Havo
to Put Thtir Finnnoee Again on a
Sound Bit, but Other Countries
Are Also Prepsring to Rar Stu
pendous Sums.
The prospect that the war In the
Balknns would soou reach it did htin
been raising mUi'lrhigs In Europonn
monpy markets as to the larce amount
of new government loans that will lie
offered for underwriting as soon an
possible after pence ahall bare been
declared. According to the Frankfur
ter Zcltuug. there will be nidi a flood
of new loans lu a comparatiTely short
time ns the runrketa hare probably
never known before. Not only the
belligerent states will haTe to put their
finances again on a sound bnsls, but
other countries ore also preparing to
Issue great International loans.
Turkey already arranged for n part
of Its needs, but lta transactions were
left Incomplete pending the twmlnn
tlon of the war In Tripoli and the re
sult of Uie present war. Of course the
porto will nead larce sums of money
after the war to place Its military
equipment acaln on a tolerable busts.
It will undoubtedly be nn actiTe bidder
for any moneys nwnltiuc Investment
in west European countries.
Then there will probably hare to be
a readjustment of the Turkish public
debt, the victorious Bnlkan states tak
ing over the payment of the interest
on a part of It or paying a lump sum to
compensate Turkey for the loos of lta
European territory.
Balkans as Borrowers.
Bulgurlu and Its nlllos will also need
money in large amounts, as their finan
cial position hns been greatly weaken
ed by the war. Before 1U outbreak
Bulgaria was negotiatlnc with a group
of French, English, German and Aus
trian banks for a loan of 37,O00,000,
and It received an advance of $5,000,-
000 upon it, nnd it has Just borrowed
?S,000,000 on tVi Pr cent treasury
notes nt Paris.
The unfavorable terms attached to
this transaction are a sufficient Indi
cation of .Bulgaria's pressing need for
money. It will require larre amounts
for Its military establishment after the
war, as well as for administrative nud
development purposes in its newly con
quered territory.
Similar conditions will prernil In
Servla, Greece and Montenegro. Scrvla
is reported to have Just borrowed 51.
200,000 from a Bruiwels bank for three
years, evidently intending to provide
for It, and for subsequent requirements
through a loan after the war.
Italy Wants $140,000,000.
Italy is also a large prospective bor
rower. It is authentically reported
that It was in negotiation with the
Paris Rothschilds for $140,000,000, at
the time whon the Balkan war broke
out, which, of course, caused the trans
action to be postponed. It ifl also ex
pected that both Austria and Hungary
will raise loans soon after the war ends,
but tho nmount of their Joint require
ments is not known.
It is also a well known fact thnt
Spain wants to raise a large amount of
monoy to place its finances upon a
Bound footing, and it is ansnmed that
it will resort to a foreign loan for meet
ing a part nt least of Its requirements.
The sum mentioned as the minimum
of its foreign borrowing is $80,000,000.
Behind all these borrowing plans looms
tho big Chinese loan of nbont $300,000,
000, whi?h has not yet been accepted
, by tho Chlnose government, although
offered by the six powers group of
. bankers.
1 Of course most of thefc prospective
issues will go to the English and
French mnrkcts. It Is not believed
that Germany will take any consider
able part in supplying the wants of
the countries In question.
I Whatever be tho attitude of German
' financiers, however, it U evident from
tho foregoing, that the European mon
ey market will have to meet large de
mands for now capital -wlthjn a rela
tively short period.
When this will begin, depends upon
the sliced made in nettling up matters
In the Balkans. If n European confer
ence Is called to carry through tho tcr
rltorlal and other readjustments, these
flnanclnl operations may lie couslder
, ably delayed.
Improvements For California's Parko.
The department of the Interior pro
posns to spend $205,403 in tho national
parks in California during the fiscal
year ending Juno 30, 1914. If the
amount requested by Uie secretary of
tho Interior Is appropriated by con
gross. Tho Increasos requested are ns

$80,000 to $233,703; Sequoia National

Grant National park, from $2,000 to
$4,800.

CHRISTMAS IN BENTON'S DAY
Jessie Benton Fremont's Description ol
, a Celebration of Long Ago.
The Christmas of eighty years ago
was once described by Mrs. Jesslo
Benton Fremont, wife of General
John C. Fremont and daughter of
Thomas II. Benton. The time was
thnt of President Jackson's ndmlnls
trntlon, and the scene wns Mrs. Ben
ton's nncestrnl home, near Staun
ton, Vn.
Grouped about the roaring log Ore
are Mrs. Benton's father and mother,
herself nnd her two little girls, of
whom Jessie was one. The mother Is
rending to the grandfather, and a
black servant, "Uuclc Ralph," Is hover
ing nliout nnd replenishing tho fire.
The children were not to make a
sound, for It would disturb grandfa
ther. And now wo will let tho future
Mrs. Fremont tell her own story:
"Imagine, then, the strong impres
hIoh mndf on me by tho upset of nil
this ordered calm. Noises came from
tho front door, noises of horses and of
people, cheerful, vigorous noises of
snow stamped off, Innghlng nnd the
thump of bnggage.
"And our mother was actually run
ning Into the hall, while my grandfa
ther, not minding tho noise, but look
ing nil pleased, was standing up nnd
holding out his hands to the big man
In the snowed on clothes! For It was
our fnther, our dear, loving father,
who had come to us for Christmas and
brought a big trunk full of Chrlstmne
gifts for everybody.
"I can see It all so well.
"The opening of that trunk took
place In the warm rooms thnt my
grandfather, too, might see. We, lib
erated imps, lnnghcd nnd noised nil
we wanted without rebuke over our
two big wax dolls 'London dolls' and
there was a London clonk for my moth
er, of black silk lined with fur.
"But the feature of the presents to
us nfter our dolls was the ornnges
my father had brought, carefully
wrapped and packed warmly In the
trunk for our sick grandfather.
"A smile that Is very close to tears
rises ns I remember our gathering In
admiring silence nbout those oranges.
I can see my mother's beautiful hands
as she carefully peeled and divided
one Into slim little sections, when w
all solemnly took each ono bit, the
peel carefully saved to flavor things.
"This Is what I see yet. But new
feelings stirred in me oven then and
grew nnd went on growing ns I learn
ed Inter all that sudden, brief visit
through the stormy winter weather
meant"
Christmas Treasures.
I count my treasures o'er with care
A llttlo toy that baby knew,
A little sock of faded hue,
A llttl lock of golden hair.
Lone years ago this Christmas time
My little one my all to mo
Eat robed In white ipon my knee
And beard the merry Christmas chime.
"Tell me, my little colden head.
If Santa Cluus should come tonlcht.
What shall he brine my baby bright.
What treasure for my boy?" I said.
And then ho named the little toy,
While In his round and truthful eyee
There came a. look of glad surprise
That spoke his trustful, childish Joy.
AniJ as he lisped his evening prayer
He asked the boon with baby grace.
And, toddllne to tho chlmmey place.
Ho hung his little stocking there.
That night as lengthening shadows crept
I saw the white winged angels come
With music to our humble home
And kiss my darling as he slept
He must have heard that baby prayer,
For In the morn, with glowing face.
He toddled to tho chimney place
And found the little treasure there.
They camo again one Chrlatmostlde,
That angel host bo fair and white.
And, singing all the Christmas night.
They lured my darling from my side.
A little sock, a llttlo toy,
A little lock of golden hair,
Tho Christmas music on the air,
A-watchlng for my baby boy.
But It again that angel train
And golden head como back for me
To bear mo to eternity
My watching will not be In vain.
