LARNEpsS SUGGESTION.


CHICAGO, Sept. lis it not fitting that the
Fidelity Savings Bank should propose to its de-
positors that committee Of business men
should be appointed to examine its condition
and make report In respect to it, II it be, as
claimed, safe and reliable, aud with ample re-
sources to meet all its liabilities, such an in
restigation and report you'd establish that as q
fact to the satisfaction Of the public; the run
would cease, and the bank have drrcr posi-
ton than before in the public confidence.
Bat, in view OF the abstraction by bank
officers heretofore regarded as mcn OF in
tcg:ity Of very large sums Of money from the
assets OF the State Sarings Bank, should not the
denositors OF the Fidelity demand forthwith
that tho "money be couuted," thar the So
curitics be investigated, aud that the real coll
ditfon OF tho bank be asceTtaiued definitely and
bcvond all doubt!
The assurances of bank officers about the
safety Of the bank are OF no yaluc whatever.
Their very position makes it impossible for
them to make any other statements.
Il scctn5 to nc that all savings banks should
have their affairs Investigated very frequently
by impartial persons appointed BY }aT for the
purpose, aud without this there can never be
any certainty IS to their condition.
fSut as the law makes no provision for this,
and the state OF things disclosed in the recent
is such as to occasion doubt and list-ust III the
public mind, aud the Fidelity is not paving out
to its dcpositors their balances but doliug cut
small sums, ard inviting them to leare the rest
with the bank, upon its assurance that tho
bank is perfectly SAFE that it is the duty Of that
bank to invite Investigation into its affairs, and
to hare the people whose money it seeks to re-
tain satisfied Of its soivcncy, aud that nothing
less than this ought to content its depositors.
Such course is reasonable and just. and there
IS valid objection to it it the condition OF that
bank is such as to bear the investigation.
The ignorance not only OF the depositors in
all State Savings, but even Of the greater por-
tion OF the officers OF the bank, as to the true
state OF its affairs, have enabled gross fraud to
b., perpctt2tcd upon its depositors. Is not any
savings bank which is not paying on demand
and requiring its depositors to grant time Of
payment, bound in all fairness to invite i lull
and searching investigation OF its affairs!

The European Outlook.

st. Petersburg, April 16.-The war
feeling here is intense. There never
was such a popular war as this will be.
There Is no brag and bluster, but a
quiet resolution is depicted on every
mans face and is manifest in every
body's language. - ~
Vienna, April Lett is feared that
Austria will not be able long to remain
a spectator. She is preparing to as
sumo a defensive neutrality. The in
huence of the Russian Sclav commit
tees extend almost to the Austrian
frontier, and Austrian statesmen who
consider its vicinity permanent peril
are determined to check its progress
and are taking steps to anihilate its
effects on the Sclav population.
London. April 16.-A telegram from
Constantinople says a Russian yacht

the Russian embassy to Odessa the mo-

stantinople. The Porte believes the
rupture will be delayed until Russia
has communicated her intention to the
powers, but no hope of peaceful set
tlement is entertained. Russian SUBJ
jects in Turkey are to be placed under
protection of the German embassy.
Constantinople will be delared in a

Men Who Have Sand.

Columbia, April 16.-It is reported,
from reliable authority, that the sub
stance of the reply of the state officers
to Gov. Hampton's demands will be the
assertion that they hold their Offices by
declaration of the state canvassers from
the face of all the election returns; that
they were commissioned by Gov. Cham
berlain while his title was undisputed;
that their contestants have taken the
cases to the Supreme court; that Gov.
Hampton has no right to anticipate the
Judgment of that court, or in any way
to pass upon their title; and that his
action is violation of his pledges to
leave the questions to legal settlement.
For these reasons they will decline to
give up their offices.
Republicans here are unanimous In
declaring Hampton's conduct a plain
breach of faith and disregard for his
most solemn and public pledges. They
are not surprised, however.

The coroner's Jury on the Hotel Horror.
st. Louis, April 16.-The coroner's
jury in the Southern Hotel fire case Or
ganized ABOUT noon, but so far the pro-
ceedings are very meagre. The jury was
sworn over the body of Kate Nolan,
which has been kept in the coolingroom
of the morgue for that purpose. They
then repaired to the grand jury room,
where they will hold sessions.
A somewhat lengthy discussion was
had as to whether the investigation
should be public or private, and the
question had not been definitely de-
cided when the reporter left the four
courts, but the probabilities were that
the sessions would be open to the press.
The jury is composed of Gen. John
McNeill, George Balm, S. II: Latin,
Charles w. Irwin, w. G. Carr and ia
cob Tamm, who are among our most
reputable citizens, and who express a
determination to go down to the bottom
of the matter and bring out all facts
connected with the fire.

Another Editor Bull-Dozed

Philadelphia, April 16.-Quite an
excitement was created on Chestnut
street, to-day, by the attempted whip
ping of Col. A. X. Mcclure, of the
Philadelphia Times, by Nat Mckay,
government contractor. Mcclure was
in the company of ex-Gov. Curtin when
Mckay approached with dog whip
and struck him. Then Mcclure caught
Mckay by the throat, and while hold
ing him some one from behind dealt
Mcclure blow, while another, in front
of him, struck him over the left eye.
These men are supposed to be friends
of Mckay. One of them got away,
and the other was arrested, along with
Mckay. The prisoners were given a
hearing at Central station, and were
held to bail to answer.

stand aside if the Republicans would
consent to take their seats in Odd-Fel-

favorably regarded in the cabinet, and

tion will probably be discussed at the

Democracy has positively refused to
appropriate another dollar for the army
strictions it is urged that an extra ses-
sion would be useless.

The Presidents Southern Policy.

Washington, April 16. - President
Hayes said yesterday that he had no
concealments regarding his southern
policy, which had been foreshadowed
In oral and written utterances, and in
this connection he adverted to the gub-
ernatorial campaign in Ohio in 1875,
which resulted In his election over Gov.
Allen. On the 31st of July, 1875, at
Marion, he freely and distinctly ex-
pressed his opinions. This speech was
published at length in the newspapers,
and therefore his views werc generally
known In that speech. After congratu-
lating his fellow citizens on the COM
plete triumph over those who sought to
destroy the Unicn and the grand results
OF the war, he alluded to the coming
together again of northern and south
ern men in the spirit of harmony and
friendship, including those who had
fought against one another; and as a
prominent feature in this evidence of
good feeling, he on that occasion spoke
of the kindly manner in which Presi-
dent Wilson was received OH his first
visit to the south. He said there were
still persons who talked of bayonets
and sought to revive the prejudices of
the past, which was much to be re-
GREETED. The President, in further
conversation, referred to the tact that
the National Republican convention
which nominated him for the presiden-
cy adopted resolution pledging the
party to protect every section of the
United States in civil and political
rights, and declaring that the perma-
nent pacification of the south should be
effected by removing the cause of the
discord. lie said this resolution was
In perfect accord with his views pre-
viously expressed, and he repeated that
IN his letter of acceptance of the nomi
nation and more fully elaborated in
his inaugural address, he consistently
maintained the policy of reconciliation
and local self-government apart from
military support, and when he entered
upon the duties of the Presidency he
intended this policy should not be one
OF sentiment merely but of actual ad-
ministration. He said: "My belief is
that this course tends to give good gov.
ernment to the south, tends to secure
peace betwt en- sections and between
races and parties at the south, and to
secure the rights, interests and safety
OF the colored people, therefore I am in
1avor of the policy. I do not know
whether shall succeed in getting it
out, because there are northern and
southern men who in various ways may
possibly thwart me, but of one thing I

perhaps twelve, as their majority.
Some southern Republicans continue
