THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF ST.
LOUIS,
[special Dispatch /, the ENQUIRER.

ST. Louis, June 1.-THE First Ma
tional Bank of the State of Missouri
announces tonight. through an adver-
tisement that will appear in tomorrow
mornings papers, that 1t has closed it's
doors on account Of the stringency of
the times, and that application has been
made by telegraph to the Controller Of
the Currency for the appointment of a
receiver to take charge of the assets.
The only reason given for its suspen-
sion is its alleged inability to make
money, on account Of which a liquida-
ton is thought best for all parties con-
been considered almost the wealthiest
in st. Louis, the capital stock being
100000 and the deposits large. It
was the depositary for United States
funds In st. Louis, and had the reputa-
ton OF being exceedingly cautious and
safe in it's business transactions. The
doors were opened during regular bank
ing hours to-day, and business was car
ried on as usual, there being no intima-
tion Of an intended suspension. The
event will undoubtedly create great
sensation in commercial and financial
circles here, and there is feeling
among those who have heard of it to-
night that other smaller banking con-

bank Is James H. Britton, one of the
stanchest citizens of st. Louis. 1t is
recollected now that certain holders of
stock in the concern have been crowd
ing the market for the last few days
with their stock, but this circumstance
excited no suspicion at the time. It is
thought that depositors will be paid,
but this Is a mere opinion, and the &C.
tual probabilities are that an exhibit
will show discouraging prospect for
all parties concerned.
Officers of the bank, in answer to in
quiries, state tonight that the deposits
amount to $2,250,O 900, and that the as
sets are ample to meet them. Twenty
five per cent will be paid at once,
twenty-five per cent in thirty days, and
the remainder within six months. The
United States Governments a depositor
to the extent of 100000, and the city of
st. Louis $245,000. Secured security
bonds said to be questionable. It is
stated upon good authority that the
Of the bank is due to bad
securities taken to large amount quite
recently.
TE.-Specials to the DEMOCRAT
have stated that the bank was sound,
and suspended simply because there was
no immediate prospect Of profitable
business.

KICKING
burlington Hawkeye.l

1t is rumored that parties in Wash
ington, In their kindness, are willing to
furnish the Republican State Conven-
ton lot Of ready made resolutions in
dorsing the Presidents policy. We
don't know that this is true, but we do
know that il any such resolutions are
presented in the convention, they will
be kicked out, and the man who sends
them will receive rebuke that he will
remember for the balance of his life.
It may do for the powers that be in
Washington to send commission into
a Southern State to trade and dicker
away the victory that was gained at the
cost Of life itself, but it will not do to at
tempt to manage" Iowa on the STAN
ley Matthews plan, and IL the attempt
is made it will receive the rebuke it de-
serves.
Remember st. Paul's vision and the
divine rebuke he then received.

SENSIBLE SENTIMENTS.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 19.-In q
letter written by Gen. Grant to Geo. W.
Childs, dated June 6, he gives some de-
scription Of his voyage and the atten-
ton he received In England. He says ::
"I appreciate the fact, and am proud of
it, that the attentions [ am receiving
are intended more for our country than
for me personally. love to see our
country honored and respected abroad,
and am proud to believe that it is by
most. all nations. and by some even
see all iealousies between England and
the United States abated, and every
sore healed. They are more powerful
for the spread of commerce and civili-
zation than all others combined, and
can do more to remove causes of wars
by creating mutual interests that would
be SO much destroyed by war;"

Ex-Governor Crossxsll Of Michigan.
In an oration delivered on the Fourth,
spoke a. follows Of his experience At
Adrian In the early days: "Ths men
Of years who are here will bear me wit
ness that tho stringency OF the timcs
following the panics Of 1887 and 1867
was greater than at present. Why. ]
well remember in those days money was
40 scarce that II was difficult to get
twenty-five cents in silver TO pay the
postage then required on q ordinary
letter. Onr circulating medium con-
sisted mainly OF wildcat bank notes. In.
dividual s~hinplasters and orders on
stores. All was barter and decker.
When I worked at my trade q fellow.
workman wanted 10 eonsummate an en-.
gagement with q very fair friend
Of the opposite sex. He called on
our boss for money Sufficient to pay the
clerical fee. n usual on such occasions.
but lie could not get II. Our employer
told me that he had not taken in $40 in
q month. But being a man fertile 10
expedients. he suggested TO the workman
that he would give him an order for the
amount Of the marriage fee on q minis.
ter for whom he was Dol 10 build o
house. This was finally accepted and
used. although II liked to have broken
up the match. IS the preacher was Of
the orthodox Baptist persuasion. and at
first the woman protested that she never
would be married BY a close communion
clergyman Of that denomination. She
rslented. however. and they were duly
united in matrimony. and the order paid
tho bill. You would consider the times
very hard indeed now II yeu were forced
10 such straits as We were then to get
money or secure work"
