A SAFE PRESIDENT.

President Grant never appeared TO
better Advantage than during the re-
cent terrible financial scenes in New
York. He and his Secretary of the
Treasury went there to see what the
government might lcgitimately do to
relieve the pressure and save the. bust
ness interests Of the country. The
great money kings of New York
surged around him, urging scheme af-
ter scheme for opening the vaults OF
the treasury and pouring out its treas
ures. Those potent men, Reyerdy
johnson and Senator Morton were
brought in to cover up the legal diff
culties and smooth the way to the ac-
complishment # their purpose. Such
pressure was lover brought upon a
man in such position before. Grant
heard all they Ind to say coolly as he
heard the thunders Of rebel cannon in
the wildernessJ and as coolly flanked
the raging crowd and kept his own
position. lie boxed over the ground,
determined what was right, legal and
proper for him to do, then did it, and
not another itch would he 60. lie
directed the Secretary of the Treasury
to buy twelve Millions Of government
bonds and thu pay out that much Of
greenbacks. That was legitimate and
proper and god thing for the gov
eminent, but there he stopped, because
he had no moregreenbacks he thought
ought to be pared, and because he
thought this much if put in use was
sufficient, aniif not il it was seized
upon and locled up no amount SO used
would be of my use. He proved HIM
self in this encounter with the bulls
and bears of Wall street a match for
them all. Although they beloved
and roared terribly, yet he was I'M.
moved. He DOLLY decided upon his
own policy; hen as coolly carried it
out, and the result demonstrates the
wisdom Of his course,

Knox on the Rnpv,Dnxr

On last Friday the candidates held a
discussion at Kirkville. Present
Hon. John ii. Carver and many others.
Mr.. Caldwell opened in an hours
speech, during which he merely allud.
cd to Knox's having lodged the vote
on the publication of laws in nawspa-
pers.
When Knox took the floor he re-
questcd Mr.. Carver to state to the au-
dience "If il is not the duty of the
Clerk of the House to note mem Der
on every question. either yes or no.
or ABSENT" Mr.. G. said he chose
not to be catcchiscd. Knox then de-
manded that he should answer the
question. when Carver arose and said
that "Sometimes members lad 0,ynnqe-
mcRfs riW the Clerk"
This almost knocked Knox off his
pins.
Well. al Eddyvillc, on Saturday
Knox arose in his might, and referring
to the episode of the day before he said
| that he didn't know before that Car
yer was SO mean. and wound up with
this vile expression: '.This Carver is
a mean, lom-ltcea dirty puppY.' Mean
err than Caldwell himself"

II lss isvo'ite hobby with our OBJ
poneats now In ali their speeches, N
their street talk. and in their papers TO
sneerinsly speak OF the appointive of.
hee-holdcrs ofthe country.
We speak of this now with particu-
lar reference TO the charges made in
this county in reference 10 the propr;.
etors of The COURIER, and upon this we
wish to say few words. One of The
prorrie:ors Of the COURIER though in
no way connected with or responsible
Tor its editorials is General Superyi.
sor of internal Revenue for district
comprising iowa. Minnesota. Ncbras-
IA, and three or four ofthe territories.
There are ten such officers in The Uni
ted States.
At the time he was appointed he
contested for the appointment with
several prominent gentlemen among
whom was one from Iowa located AT
Dcs Moincs, and another in Minncso-
ta' General II. was enabled TO get it.
and have the headquarters here.
III he had not obtained ii. it would
have perhaps gone out of the State. or
at least TO some other city in the State.
II does seem &c us therefore that we
on9h, instead of complaining teel
grati,ied that citizen of Ottumwa
obtained This position. Would il have
been Il satisfaction to our people to
have had the Office go elsewhere rather
Than here? Have we no pride in such
matters. Certainly we have.
How often is the complaint made
that we of Ottnmwa can't succeed in
getting any of the good things going
Finally then, why this complaint be-
cause General IIcdrick succeeded in
getting at Ottumwa the headquarters
OF this office which belongs to three
States and several territories.
a. II. Hamilton is Postmaster SER
wing his first term. He has been the
grateful recipient from The hands of
the people one position OF trust and
honor from the people of this county.
Now for the first time he is the rccip-
lent of an office of pccuniary profit
u seems to us the simple question is,
is there anything wrong because lie is
such officer? Is he not entitled to il
as much as an other? Is he any diff
ferently situated, or is he any more
unworthy to hold il than those who
have held ii heretofore

Joe Merrill is one of our best and
| most successful merchants. He came
here at all early day, and by dint OF
| close application to business, he has
become one of our heaviest tax-pay-
ers, and he ought therefore to feel in
terestcd in keeping taxes down. lie
ships more goods 10 the county than
an, other man in it perhaps, and he
consequently ougl, TO be master of the
transportation question and be in ia
vor OF getting frcights down to the
minimum rate.
lie is an original straight-out
Republican, without being violent
partisan. and man with an uncom-
monty clear head, and good heart,
whose word always has been as good
as his bond. lie is not chronic in-
trigucr Tor office, in fact the office
sought him. lie will 60 to the Senate

jority in that body, and will of course
be the more able to render his county
good service.

prejudice and demagoguefy, every

AT meeting of the Clearing House
Association last evening the question
OF resuming currency payments was

resume without reference to New

MERCHANTS NATION A /
BANK, DUBUQUE.
Astounding Disclosures.
FRAUD. THEFT. AND PERJURY.


Whom, on the morning of Thursday
last, it was announced upon the street
that the Merchants National Bank had
! closed its doors, without the co-opera-
ton OF the other banks of the city. the
people were filled with astonishment,
| despite the fact that panic was abroad,
| and suspensions becoming frequent.
The Merchants National had so long
been regarded as the strong financial
institution of the city, and its cashier,
Mr.. II. A. Babbage, who was known
TO have almost entire management of
the institution, had always been re-
garded as so shrewd and able and sue
| ccssful a business man, that there was
| any strong necessity for this suspen-
sion. Most people, with their great
faith in MIR. Babbage, were inclined to
believe that he saw more clearly than
his fellow bankers, the beneficial and
protef i've policy of suspensions, a
step i-.ken also by banks in various
other sections, and thus were inclined
to condemn the other banks for not
agreeing upon uniform policy that
would have less affected public conf
dence.
But soon it became apparent to close
observers that the suspension of the
Merchants National meant great
deal more than the current difficulty
Of realizing upon assets. Whispers of
of bad loans, insufficient assets. of use
of money by the President, w. II. III.
Sheffield, to put into railways. ana of
the Cashier, Mr.. Babbage, 10 put into
a magnificent stock farm and other
ventures, were many. The mental
and physical excitement of Mr.. Bah
bage over the situation, his failure to
make his appearance for the first day
to explain the banks condition,
excited the greatest fears among
the Stockholders and creditors of the
bank. Still it was not possible, even
then, for any of them to realize the
monstrous unfolding of fraud and
| theft which the examination by the
Bank Examiner, and the committee
appointed to investigate the books,
finally brought to light. In the history
OF all the bank defalcations in the
country, few have exceeded in this in
the magnitude OF the sum taken, and
none in the abominablc nature of the
transactions.
These developments show that
Messrs. Sheffield and Babbage, have
for long time been drawing from
both the Merchants National and Du.
buque Savings Institutions, until they
have taken the enormous sum Of
1929, 418.O0-Mr. Babbage to the ann
of $685., 2S9.63, and Mr.. Sheffield to the
amount of $62, 1887. These items are

Everybody says that Europe wants

ing the case they say the rebound from
the foolish panic will flood us with

this is true.
One remarkable feature wcobservcd
ia Chicago. viz; that Notwithstanding
a good many business houses stand
vacant and are advertised for occu-
pants, extensive building goes Oh just
the same. Ono would naturally con-
cludc that where business houses are
begging for occupants. would not be a
very good place to build more. hut no
general rules apply to Chicago. The
fact is. Chicago is a city unto itself:
an anomoly. and what applies TO other
cities OF the union in The way Of pru-
dence belong not to it.
While there we stopped with our
friends jenkins & Holmes, Of the Clif-
ton House. on Wabash Avenue, a few
steps from the Exposition building.
II has been for some years our custom
TO stop with them simply because,
though we have considerable expe.

never found one which, all things con-
sidercd, we liked so well. II is not
excelled in all that makes hotel COM
plete by any other house in Chicago

CHICAGO LIVE STOCK MARKET

SuShUO LAVE STUCh MARkET.
The receipts since Saturday wers
l,G77 cattle, $500 hogs, and 337 sheep
The condition of affairs at the Stock
Yards is materially improved. The
stale stock in the pens at the opening
OF the previous week has been well
cleared out and the daily arrivals are
now increasing. Financial affairs
have improved so that now there is O
liberal demand from parties that have
the currency ready to pay for their
purchases. The general tendency OF
the market is to higher range, and IL
the receipts continue light or even
moderate business will soon be NOV.
ing along in the usual channel.
CATTLE-There was more doing in
the cattle market to-day than for some
time past. The receipts were mod
erately large and comprised some
really valuable stock. The attendance
Of buyers was moderately large and
shippers were encouraged to fair
degree Of activity by moro favorable
advices from New York and other
Eastern points. Tho best price paid
to-day was $6, being obtained for thir-
ty extra prime steers av. 1884 lbs.
Other sales in favor Of shippers were
made at $5.l21a @5.7O, the only sale of
importance being lis choice steers ay.
1925 lbs at $3.50 Stock cattle wei Q
quiet and easy, there being no demand
worth speaking Of. A few good feed
ing steers sold at $4.15@4.371d. The
demand for Texan cattle for packing
purposes was moderately active wi tn
sales at $2@3.25 for common to good
drOves.
HoGs-Therc was good attendan &C
Of buyers, representing New York,
Boston and other Eastern cities, and,
with favorable advices, they show ed
considerable anxiety to purchase, a
larger business being transacted than
on any day for more than q week pa st.
The receipts were moderate, and the
competition between buyers was silf-
fcient to enable sellers to establish an
advance of about l0@l5c per 100 lbs.
on the values current on Saturday.
The quality of hogs marketed was
good and will compare favorably with
last years receipts. The extreme
