~ A brood of banks under
State laws were organized in
St. Louis upon the credit plan
that is, upon the same plan
insurance companies used to
be organized here. Subscribers
to stock, made a cash payment,
and depended upon the profits

is a collapse, and this accounts
for the bank failures that have
occurred in St. Louis within the
last few years. But one nation
al bank failed and that inherit
cd its weakness from the old
State Bank of Missouri. 1t is
not safe for banks TO depend

Mr.. Frye Me then brought up
the question of the alleged dis
charge by the door-keeper of Grip
pied and disabled union soldiers
who had been on the door-keeper's
roll, and remarked in the course of
an imprisoned speech on the sub
ject that when the President of the
United States saw fit to take men
who had been i'm the confederate
service, and who to-day are Dem
ocrats, and put them in positions
of responsibility and power, and
when the Republican party of the
country commended the President
for so doing, it might possibly be
that the door-keeper should in the
interest of pacification be allowed
to discharge crippled and disabled
union soldiers and put confederate
soldiers in their places.
Mr.. Cabell-Does the gentleman
from Maine consider that the Pres
ident has been wrong in doing
what he has in forming his cabi-
net!
Mr.. Frye do.
Mr.. Killinger PA. And so do l.
Mr.. MacMahon replied to Mr..
Frye and said that although there
were 5000 disabled union soldiers
in his district he never heard of
any of them getting posistion in
any of the departments of the gov
ernment. This talk about disabled
union soldiers on the door-keep-
er's roll amounted only to
this: Some members had some
favorites of their own appointed.
Are there no union soldiers in the
country except those voting the
Republican ticket! In his dis
trict the boot had beer put on the
other leg.

The WAY 10 Resume.

The Cincinnati Gazette closes a
long, and in the main, very sensi-
BILE discussion of the financial ques-
ton as follows:
"The way to resume is not to re-
sumo, hut to prepare for resump-
ton. 1t is not a scarcity of cur
rency that is an obstacle to re-
sumption, but an over-supply.-
The question is how to get the sur.
plus out of the way. 1t can not
be removed in a lump. 1t may be
removed gradually. There need
be no fear Of depression of prices
from the Withdrawal of the sur
plus currency. Prices are now be-
low a specie standard. There is
scarcely an article in the market
that is not below specie value.
Any measure, therefore, that would
tend to a resumption of specie
payments through the gradual
withdrawal of the surplus paper
currency would give an impetus to
business, and cause an advance in
values generally. Specie payments
brought about in a rational way
would cause a marked improve
ment in business, because it would
terminate the suspense that is the
main cause of depression. The way
to this point is through gradual
funding of the greenback currency.
There is no other way. Mr.. Sher-
mans plan and Mr.. Garfield's plan
are mere make shifts. They
are delusions. Their enforcement
would bring upon the country all
the disastrous consequences Of
forced resumption without any
compromising benefits, because re-
sumption under such circumstan-
ces could not be maintained.
The facts we have presented show
clearly that there is no scarcity of
currency. On the other hand they
show that there is altogether too
much currency upon which to force
resumption. What is needed,
is not an unconditional
repeal of the Resumption act, nor
forced resumption, but q plan that
will lead to resumption though the
gradual retirement of the surplus
paper currency. In that way the
gold and paper dollars will be
That would be re-
sumption.
What the country most needs
now is the adoption not NEARLY of
a policy, but of plan also, that
will liberate it from Congressional
tinkering. There is nothing that
so hurts business as suspense.

London, Nov. ia special
dispatch, dated Veran Kaleh, Sun
day evening, says: The fortress
and city of Kars, with 500 cannon,
stores, ammunition, cash, etc, fell
into Russian hands. The Turks
lost 5000 killed and wounded, l0,-
Russian loss is about 300. The
Russian soldiers made but triiling
booty, and spared the peaceful cit
liens, women and children. Gen.
Loris Millekoff directed the battle.
During the day Grand Duke Mich
ael was present also. The former
entered the city at lilo Sunday
morning.
A Veran Kaleh special says Kars
was captured by about $4,000 Rus
slams, who climbed the steep rocks,
ramparts and walls and stormed an
equal number of desperately fight
ing Turks in headlong flight over
their bitches and parapets, com
pelling them to die or surrender.
The escalade had been originally
fixed for the 18th, but it was post
poned owing to the bad weather.
The principal attack was made on
the southern forts. Gen. Lazareff,
who commanded the right wing,
consisting of the fortieteth division,
assaulted Hafez Pasha fort, crown
ing a steep rocky height. Gen.
Count Grabbe, with regiment of
Moscow grenadiers and a regiment
of the Thirty-ninth division at
tackled Bafez Pasha in the center,
the Khanli, Sanvarri, Tabia, the
three towers and citadel. The Ar
dahan brigade and another regi-
ment of Moscow grendiers, under
Generals Roop and Komaretf, form
ing the left wing, assaulted Fort
Inglis on the north. The attack
began 10 the center at $50 Sunday
evening, when Count Grabbe led
his brigade against the Khanli re-
doubt, and bimsalf fell dead at the
first onset, pierced by bullet
Capt. Kwadmicki, of the Thirty
ninth regiment, was the first to en-
ter the redoubt at III o'clock at
night. His sword was cut clean
out of his hand, and his clothes
pierced. The redoubt surrendered
early in the morning, and then the
three towers, almost Simultaneous
ly with the capture of the Khanli |
redoubt. Fort Sanvarri and Fort
Hafez Pasha were carried by as
sault. BY daylight Sunday, Cen
eral Larzareffs troops had made |
progress as far as the capture of
Fort Karadagh. The other forts,
Arab Tabia, on the east,
and Takmah Tabia, on the west,
maintained a stubborn resistance
until eight, when all the garrisons
which could escape fed towards
But these were sub
sequently overtaken by the dra-
goons and Cossacks and brought
back prisoners.

forces in Bulgaria and the Dobrud-
