COLUMBUS, Dec. 1G.-0n the 28th OF
November an Associated Press dispatch
was sent from this point relative 10 the
removal of Charles j. Hess as agent Of
the Protection Life Insurance Company,
of Chicago, and the filing Of petition in
the courts of this county'ior an alleged
appropriation Of $11 900 Of the Company's
money to his own use. This dispatch
was sent as o news item simply, and was
furnished by the attorney oi the Protec-
ton Company. On the same day dis
patch was sent giving q statement from
Hess as to the facts in the case.
1t appears that some: further state.
ment Is proper. The press agent at
this point by correspondence and conver:
,ation with responsible parties Is satisfied
that the first dispatch sent on the Goth
did MIR. Hess injustice. He is man OF
large and valuable property and has been
In business here lor several years. Per.
hapsthe strongest evidence to be found
that these grave charges OF fraud are
without proper foundation Is best shown
by the fact, that Immediately after the
suit for the alleged embezzlement was in.
stituted Mr.. Hess was unanimously elect
cd director Of the Ohio Life Insurance
Company, Of Cleveland.

Europe. 'sl '"
writer in the New York Tribune re-
Iets to conviction recently expressed by
Mr.. DRRAE11 to the effect that q great
struggle is impending in Europe between
the. spiritual and temporal powers The
writer does not share in the ex.premters
ApprehensiouS. On the contrary, he ex-
presses the opinion that at no time in the
las. eight hundred years has the Church
or the spiritual influence been more COM
pletely subordinated TO the State or tenn
pOral influence than It Is to-day. He
cites the fact that thepower Of the Pope
"a almost shrunk to the Vatican and great
BAslllca; that none Of the old principali-
ties Of the Church obey her temporal be-
hesBi that religious houses throug ghout
Italy have been closed and their estates

CHICAGO MONEY MARKET.-Flnancial
matters at Chicago seem to have regained
their normal condition. The aggregate
bank clearirgs are equal to those OF the
the same period last year. The Tribune
says that the banks are offering money to
their regular customers for 80 and 90 days
at 10 per cent, and on demand lower,
with collaterals OF z and 8 per cent. In
the open market prime commercial paper
syery scarce. p
"a great deal OF meney is being sent in
from the country to loan at. thirty and
sixty days. There Is, however, q good
demand for money on six months loan, at
10 per cent, with some transactions on
these terms. A month hence, when the
pork.packers have collected on their con.
tracts, and closed up the bulk OF their
packing business for the year. they Will
have large amount OF funds 10 invest In
business paper according to their usual
practice, and the expectation that money
will be abundant then Is reasonable" a
The quotation for bank stocks in
Chicago indicates q healthy condition
among them. Two hundred and thirty

WHETHER right or wrong, 1t Is evident
tha, Wall street interplets the tendency
Of the times TO be towards initiation and
away from specie payments. Therefore
gold is going up again. 1t touched 1ss
premium yesterday and Is more likely to
70 higher than lower. The Secretary Of
the Treasury confesses that he isat the
end of his rope; that the debt is again In
creasing on his hands; that he has been
drawing on the reserve for some time
past and that he Is likely TO draw on 1t
still further. He asks Congress to provide
for additional taxation, but Congress, rep
resenting the tax payers, is loath to do
anything of the kind. 1t prefers to ask
the Secretary and all other heads OF the
Departments to revise their estimates, cut
down expenses, and thus save any neces.
sity for either further taxation or inia-
,ior. This is the stand taken in Congress
both by MIR. DAWES, Chairman OF the
Ways and Means Committee, and by
General GARFIELD, Chairman Of the Com.
miltee on Appropriations. And it is the
right position. The people demand re.
