' The dread scourge-of diphtheria has
recently .. become almost epidemic in
many parts" of Connecticut. Here in
Norwalk there have been, and are now,
a few sporadic _ cases. Most Of these
are, and have been, properly guarded
and isolated. but someflfew cases have
been reportedjwhere the grossest and
most culpable 'darehssness is .charged.
When parents ci'in be brought to know
and realize that diphtheria affections
” are, far more contagious and fatal than
loathsome small-pox, they will perhaps
not more promptly and carefully on
the supreme duty of at once. quaran-
tining. the'afi'ected member of their
household until the danger is passed,
A caution, such as the above, ought not
. to be required at the present day, but
" lamentable facts prove its necessity.
l'l‘ihe" Romanidhurch 'on Labor.
The New York 'W’crld gives a trans-
lation of the alleged forthcoming en-
cyclioal of Pope Leo on the labor, and
’ social "di‘sputes which are now visible
‘ both in this country and in Europe.
Assuming that the paper is genuine, it
cannot fail to attract very general at-
tention throi‘i‘ghont’the world.
The Catholic Church directly reaches
and influences a larger proportion of
the industrial classes than any other
one of our religious organizations, and
there would seem to be eminent fitness}
in the acknowledged head of the church
,1 speakingion a subject that is . pregnant
with perilit'o governments and people-
in the present conditions of the various
peoples of the earth. .. .
While the appeal of the head of the
Catholic Church does not present rem-
edial measures in detail, the general
tone of the ‘* encyclic'al is in. complete
harmony with justice, humanity and
religion, anditm-ustexert a wholesome
' influence upon some ’of the leading nal
tions in the interest of general tranquil-
ity. , ' ' .
The deliverance of Pope Leo ‘ on the
grave social and. economic problems
which new confront the leading nations
of the world will now be widely read
and soberly considered in all religious
circles as well as in allintelligent class-
es. The'problem for solution is one of
the most momentous of our enlighten-
ed civilization, and, with: the progress
of intelligence. among, the people, it
can _be enduringlyysettledg only on lines
"of justice to all conditions. The de-
liverance of the head of the Catholic
Church points unmistakably to that
end, and it must, therefore, be accepted
as timely and wise.
Got the Currency.
The Philadelphia Times thus records
the sagacious method adopted by the
Fourth National Bank of that city to
get currency with which to help out
itself and its customers. _It says, the
4 bank has just increased its circulation
“$450,000, making its total $1,350,600,
‘ ‘ which is the full amount it is legally
entitled to. as the circulation of national
banks is limited to ninety per cent. of
their paid-up capital. An official of the
bank, in speaking of the matter yester-
'day,said: ' ‘ . ' . _
“One of the difficulties this country
is now experiencing is an inadequate
circulation of currency". It is difficult
to get money now and Philadelphia
banks have as much trouble in getting
currency from New York, where we
have aLportion _of our ._surpliis reserves
on deposit, as New York’s banks "have
experienced in getting currency from
us. Each wants to hold 'on to, what;
they have and get as much more as is
possible. .
“We—conceived the idea of increas-
ing our circulation without drawing
any curren'cy'froni New :York, and it,
was done in this way: We pin-chased
by draft 0n~ our deposit in New York
$500,000 worth of United States six per
cent. bonds, and these we deposited
with the Treasury, and- against them,
we drew $450,000 new currency, or 90
per cent. at the bonds. Theadvantage
to us is readily seen. , Besides" getting;
interest on our investment we bought .
'our Government bonds at a large dis-
count from prices’heretofore ruling,
and‘thus secured nearly a half millicn-
which we can readily loan at prevailing
rates, and in addition our circulation
is-increased just $450,000.”
A number of other banks will follow ’

miracles of renewed confidence and
says the Press, was the suggestion-a
savings‘bankpresident made to Presi-
‘dent Tappan of the Gallatin National
‘ ‘Bank and of the Clearing House Asso-
ciation, that the national banks might
relieve the money, stringency by bor-
rowing government bonds now held by
savings banks, depositing them With
the Secretary of the treasury at- Wash-
ington and then issue new currency up
bonds, as provided by the National
Banking act. The suggestion was so
simple that it was wonderful others had
not thought of it. I »
A number of national banks prompt-
ly availed themselves of the opportun-
ityto increase their supply of available
funds. Late in the day it was announc-
ed that new national bank notes in
the following amounts would" shortly
be issued by the banks named, each

the city are disposed to sell from $10,

- ment on which they obtain an average

A savings bank can without 1085' thus
exchange through a‘ national bank,gov-
ernmentbondsfor new national bank
notes. As the capital of the combined
nationaL banks of New York city, is
about $680,000,000, entitling the ‘banks
to issue a circulation up to about 3617,
000,000, a temporary solution of the
present money panic would seem to be
in sight. The New York national'bank
circulation now outstanding is about
$162,000,000, leaving room foi- an in-
crease of over $400,000,000 provided the
bonds can be secured. The amount of
government bonds now held for invest-
ment by the savings banks is Very large.

Lennon, Aug. 8,—Slr Edward Grey, par-
liamentary'secretai'y of the foreign office, "
announced in the house of commous that _ ‘
the» French blockade of Bangkok had been -"
raised. ’- , , ’
' Sir Richard Temple (Conservative) asked " '
for information as to certain points of the
Franco-Siamese. dispute. ‘ He said that‘
there was an impression in many quarters
that British; diplomacy had. received a
check in thefinegotiations. carried on by .
France and Great Britain.
Siam, he added, had been treated in a
hard manner,,‘iand British interests had
not been safeguarded. There was a serious
feeling in England that the action of the
foreign office had been incompetent. Did
the cession of Siamese territory, he asked, -
mean the whole-leftlbank of the'Me-Kcng ,
river? If so, it wise ,unfcrtunate, as it '
would bring Frames nearer to Burmah
than ever before: The indemnity demand- . '
ed by France appeared to be an extrava—
gant one. It was cruel for a great power
like France toggask such an indemnity in .
addition tos‘eizring from Siam the richest
districts abutting the Menam delta and
Cambodia. ' .
Measures ought to b‘etaken', Sir Richard
declared, to limit the French occupation of
the territory, an occupation . which he sup~
posed would be only temporary. So; im- ,
portant did he consider this point} that _-
he would suggest that Great Britain" help
Siam to pay the money indemnity with a
view to terminating the French occupation
of the districts in question. ' ‘
The Hon. George N. Cnrzon (Conservw
tiife) said he doubted France’s intention to
execute her pledge to preserve ‘the integri-
ty of Siam. France‘liad acted in. a most
arbitrary manner at the very outset of the .
trouble and had shown scant considerations
for her victim. The assurances given by
France to England had not been kept. Mr.
Curzon concluded by declaring that the
foreign office was on trial at the bar of pub- .
lic opinion. ‘
Sir Edward Grey reproached Mr. Curzon . 4
with trying to embarrass the government
while negotiations of a most delicate char-
acter were pending. ,, . . . .
Thetpositicn of affairs, he said, required
him to still maintain {considerable reserve.
He was confident that it would be found
when the results of; the negotiations shall
have been disclosedi‘that. the action of the
foreign office had bh'en as strongasany one
could desire. This'statement was greeted
with cries of “Hear, hear!” “
