A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial is authority for statements
made by Mr.. Sherman with reference to
his financial policy, which show that the
Secretary is not likely to give much prac-
tical aid and comfort the silver men.
MIR. Sherman is reported to have saidthat
it is likely that Congress will authorize
the exchange ofthe ST. and So greenback
notes, for sill, er, but added: "Of course
the legal tender quality Of silver should
be Hunted TO The same extent that the ie-
gal tender of the green5lcks is llmlted,so
that the importers could not hood uswltn
silver in payment of customs duties"
The New York Times avows little pa
thence with "the dickering and ioollng
regarding silver in any form which ~
uores The fact that if silver is to be- made
legal tender at all. it will, To the extent
that it euioyes that quality drive out 9TH
er coin, so long as the latter is OF greater
value if silver is only to be issued at par
for s,eenbacks, and is not to be received
for cnstoms dues, the whole ansactloh
will be in empty space" 1t Will amount
to nothing one way or another. NO one
who has the greenbacks will care for the
silver. and no ore without the green
backs eau get it. SO much OF 1t as iulgnt

SALT LAKE ChTY, Aug. 20.
Brigham Young died at p. m. to-
day. ,r.,... srs ...r.r. --.......y,...,.
1.-THE renowned ruler of the Morrnons
of Utah, who died yesterday was born in
Whitingham, Vermont, June II 1901
His father was farmer, and the boy re-
ceived but little educati on, being put at
an early age to the trade ofa painter and
glazier. After arriving at years of matu-
rity he became connected with the Bap-
tist Church as a member, and Tradition
has 1t that he pteached occasionally. In
1882 he joined the Mormons at kirkland
Ohio, was ordained as an elder, and was
numbered as one of the twelve Apostles.
AS such he was sent to the Eastern States
in 1885 TO make proselytes anu met with
great success. After Joseph Smiths
death in 1874 Young was one of four who
aspired to the presidency, to which Office
he was unanimously elected by the Apos-
ties. The choice was generally ratified
by the scotland his hiefopponent, Sidney
Rigdon, was soon afLerward excommuni-
Gated. After the revocation of the charter
OF Nauvoo aud the bombardment of the
city, Young set out in 1946, accompanied
by his followers, aud after a fatiguing
march over The plains arrived at Great
Salt Lake valley, which he induced them
to believe was the promised land. Here
in July, lS47. he founded Salt Lake city,
managed to become the supreme ruler
OF the colony, aud in 1S49 organized the
State of Deseret, which soon after sought
to be admitted to the Union. Congress
refused TO grant the request, but in 1850
the Territory Of Utah was organized and
Young appointed Governor for term OF
four years. Belng succeeded in 1854 by
a Governor who was not Mormon he
began to bid defiance TO federal authority
and the laws.

THE CHICAGO swINDLE..

The State Savings and Loan Institu.
ton at Chicago has supended. Forsome
time there has been a run on this bank,
and lit paid out between $500, 900 and
100000, when, its means getting low, it
had recourse to rules requiring deposit
tors to give notices of Withdrawals of 80
to GO days. The outflow was still con-
siderable, whilst scarcely any new de-
posits were received. Between July /,
when the run began, and the close of
last week, the bank paid out over $780,
900, including per cent interest pay able
July LIST, on its deposits, which were at
that date about $4,pOO,0oO. When the
present week opened the hank had liabi-
lities, with only about 500, 900 available
TO pay them, and on, an examination of
assets it was found that 1t had lost IN de-
probation of real estate and othe securi>
ties more than enough to sink the entire
capital $5O0,O0O. The president of the
bank, Mr. Spencer, wanted the Chi cago
banks to loan him $500, 900 on such Sc
curities as he could afford to let them
have, saying that with the credit he
would receive from sIch loan he could
get between $500, 900 and $500 900 in New
York, ami he thought with these $780,
QUO or SSO00OO he could restore the credit
of the bank and stop the run. But the
bankers would not accommodate him.
Mr.-Spencer then went to New York,
where he now is, his oil. ect p .sumably
being to raise funds, and ou Tues lay the
bank suspended, making an assignment
to Col Abner Taylor. The depositors
OF the bank were chiefly working people,
who can Ill afford losses. The state
ment made shows liabilities of $780,.
339 and assets of $2,724, $50. In the ass
sets the bank building is valued at $12l,-
625, and there are Sl.13O,1 1884 of mortgage
loans, but small part of which, it is
thought, can be- realized.

WAR EXPENDITURES.
Cost in ten years. ;. .s59J ,6-9 AS

These were ten years of peace, and the
expenditure reached less than one-fonrth
of the whole national debt, for which
there is now nothing to show. Six hun
dred millions of dollars in round mum
ber disappeared like water poured
through seive. And yet the cry is to
increase the army.
According to the returns received at
the Adjutant-GeBerals office, the militia
available for military duty is put down
at three millions in round numbers, in
GLIDING the State of Nevada, Oregon, In
diana, Georgia, Florida, West Virginia,
Alabama, North Carolina, Delaware
Tennessee, from which no reports had
been male when the estimate was pre-
pared. New York is stated at 4S3,lS3.
These stern facts must command the
attention of the taxpaying people, who
will see what 1t costs them to maintain
an army of %, 900 men, when 10000 men
are ample for all the needs of the coun-
try, ff.H
