The CHICAGO ABORTION CAsE-Our read
ers remember the great noise made by the
Chicago papers two or three months ago
about the case of a Norwegian girl who had
died in that city in consequence of taking
medicines TO produce an abortion. A Mr..
Temple, highly respectable citizen Of b.
reau county, was represented as having Sc
duced the girl and compelled her to take the
medicine, and DIR. Swanzy, his neighbor,
was implicated as the physician who pre-
pared and administered the medicines The
case was finally brought to trial in the Cook
county circuit court last week Dr. Swan
~, who was first put on trial, after tho
rough investigation Of the case, was tri-
acquitted, the jury not leaving
their box 20 make up the verdict. The facts
elected al the trial also showed SO clearly
the innocence Of Mr.. Temple that the prose
cutting attorney entered nolle prosequi in
his case, so that both are acquitted, not only
for lack Of evidence TO convict them, bu,
because the evidence clearly established
their innocence.

How TO Crkg The PASIc.-There is now
money matters was brough, about by the
ruinous contraction during the previous six
months, Of the New York Banks. Mutual
distrust Of each other, early in summer, led
TO systematic efforts on the part os all TO
strengthen themselves by contracting their
loans. But the more they contracted under
such circumstances, the worse matters got,
until finally the stock brokers and heavy
merchants and manufacturers who were q p
pendent upon regular discounts st the banks
to keep their business going, were driven 70
the wal, and universal distrust Wa, III. nat
ural consequence. IT, at any time during
this runous course Of contraction, the banks
had reversed their policy there is DO doubt
the present crisis would have been averted.
In proof of this, the Nesc York Courier calls
10 mind the following historical "reminiscences:
AN who are familiar with the history of
momentary affairs have heard Of the greet
crisis in London in 1925, and how CON
pletely its consequences were averted by
the wisdom of one man, and the con mon
sense OF those in power, who saw and admit

remedy for the evil. In this momen, Of per-
il and panic, Mr.. Atwood waited upon Mr.
Goddard, Of Manchester, and demonstrated
that nothing but expansion by the Bank
could prevent its suspension. Mr. Goddard
posted off to Londo:,, and laid the subject
before Lord Liverpool, the Premier, as pre-

Money MaftpYs.

The money market at the east has i'm
proved SO rapidly during the week that, but
for the winter before US, the revulsion might
be regarded at an end. The influx of specie
into New York continues so great. that the
banks have some 100000 on hand,
while in ordinary times $4,000, 900 have
been regarded as an abundant reserve. All
that prevents the New York banks from re-
Stunning at once is, that they are holding back
for the New York country banks and the
Philadelphia banks to get ready The daily
dispatches for week from New York have
read like the following:
New YoRK, Nov. 17.-Busincss continues
to improve. Money is abundant, but rates
unchanged. Call loans readily negotiated at
z per cent. Stocks still active and going up
rapidly. The advance at the LIST board
ranged from to 10 per cent. on all descrip-
tons. At the Cd board stocks were active
and firm.
Another most encouraging indication is,
that many of the large manufacturing es-
adjustments in New York and New Eng
land, that had suspended operations, have
resumed. Among others, the following are
named:
Union manufacturing Company, at Nor
walk, Conn.
Chicopee Nils Massachusetts.
E.o,iing and Nail Mills. at Fall River.
MaassSs.ol. Flour Nj! 5, at Fall River.

The only check to this upward tendency
in all directions has been the gloomy news
brought by the Niagara from the other side
of the water. A break down IN England
and France might proong the difficulties on
this side indefinitely, as suspension by the
Bank of England would eventually lead to
heavy draushts for coin in that direction
