THE RIPLEY TELEGRAPH ON

..... g, BANKING. .,s 81.
The Ripley Telegraph comes up to th'
help Of the whig members OfIhe Legis
lature, in defence Of their opposition tc
individual liability Of bank stockholders
In reply TO an article that appeared in the
Standard two weeks ago, the Telegraph
says:-
"Because the wings will not vote foT
all the absurdiles that lOcofocOs offer to
them, they are denounced as doing al
in their power TO prevent a settlement Of
the Bank question at the present ses.
sion"
To let the reader see what the Tole..
graph calls GbSurditieS, We insert the in.
dividual liability provision, which was
added in the House to Mr. Latham's bill
extending the charters OfthO banks that
have just expired. This is the 'Gbs6rdi.
ty' to which the Telegraph alludes. and
which the whig members said induced
them to vote against the BILL
"PrOOidsd, That the stockholders Of
any such bank accepting the provisions
Of this act, shall be Jointly and severally
liable in their individual capacity for ell /
debts or liabilities created BY any such
bank after the passage Of this GcI.",
Such provision, according to 70 deral
ethics, is absurd, and will incur their hos.
tility to any charter bill containing it.
The Telegraph asks
"Would the Editor Of the STANDARD
charge Gen'l Louden and the democrat.
ic majority Of the Senate with 'loyalty to
corporations & disregard Of the
interests Of tho people" because they vO.
ted for and passed Bank Bill without
the individual liability Of iStOckhOlders'i
The charge is as applicable to them as
to the Wings"
The bill passed the Senate without
much discussion, nearly in the shape in

HThe Ohio State Journal, after a.
busing the moderate Democrats at the
early part Ofthe session, now that its
friends, the ultra Wings, by the aid of a
few Of the Democratic party, have reject.
ed the bill for the re.charter Of the spe
cic>paying banks begins to whine over tho
suferiDgs of the people, resulting from
the war upon the banks. The object Of the
repeated efforts, ,on the part ofthe Wings
since Tuesday [wsek ), to get bask upon
the ground occupied previous to the re-
Zee ton Of the bill to extend the charter
Of the specie paying.bank can be moth.
ing more nor less tina ton delude the peo.
pie. The UltraWhigs determined to do
stTOy the bank bill, that the people might
be forced, in consequences Of their severe
sufferings to put the Wing party in pow.
er. Their efforrs since TO pass a SINH
lar bill, is TO enable them TO point to their
votes as evidence that they were in favor
of re.Chartering the banks. They have
voted on every side Of the question, and
consequently can prove any thing they
choose from the iOurnals.-O. S. RepUb.

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY.
The New York Morning Post copies
the following letters from the Concord
Patriot, and calls the attention of in
friends in Ohio to them. The first is
from a Member Of Congress from North
Carolina; end the second from the Sec.
rstary Of State Of Rhode Island. We
would direct the attention Of the Editor
Of the Ripley Telegraph to them, as they
relate to what he would call lOeOFoco ab.
surdities.'
House Of Reps, March 90, 1912.
Dear sir:--In yours Of yesterday, you
expressed a wish to obtain in an autben.
tic form fact which stated in a recent
conversation, in regard to the suspension
Of specie payments by the banks Of North
Carolina.
In the conversation alluded to, stated,
and again here repeat, that there are but
three banks in North Carolina; that the
charter Of one contains provision where
BY the stockholders are made responsible
in thpir property, for the debts Of the cor
porati0n; the charters Of the other two
are without any such provision; and that
The two latter suspended specie payments
in 1887, and, after resuming for short
time, again suspended in 1888, when the
general suspension took place; while the
other bank, whose stockholders are made
responsible in their private property, has
never suspended specie payments al all.
Very respectfully,
|.s Your Obedient servant.

"A PARAGRAPH FOR CHILDREN And
why should we not give few lines space
to something peculiarly for the children?
Most assuredIy we see no reason agains,
1t. A LILLE boy. eight or nine ears old,
was walking along Grand street the other
day, on an errand for his parents. Near
at hand, under the shadow of awning, was
an apple stand, kept by poor woman, and
covered with delicious pears, apples and
blackberries. The little boy thought he
never Ind seen such beautiful yellow ap-
pies, and he wondered how they came to
be ripe so early in the season. Just at that
moment, while the woman was busted at
the tar corner of the stand with custo-
mer, one of the largest and plumpest of the
apples rolled from its pinnacle off on the
walk. and down into the clean, clear Gro
ton waters in the gutter, and on, on, Oh,
nearly two rods from the stand. The ap
pie woman did not see It-apparent.y 40
body saw it bu. the little boy.
Now he was very fond Of apples, and he
had no money, and it was plain that he could
easily take the prize, and who should know
anything about it! For two full minutes
the child stood on the curb stone, and ma
ny Earring impulses agitated his little bo-
som. He could take it,--but would it not
be bitter TO The taste for hours after he had
eaten it! No one would see hm,-bui
would the cheating of a poor old apple wo-
man not be wretched business? At last
he stopped down decidedly, picked up the
fruit, and carried it back to its owner.
Now this paragraph may be readily ma
