The Savings Bank Murder.

The murder OF the Treasurer of th'
Dexter Saving, Bank, in connection will

wide and deep interest, both from The

name should be placed on the list OF he
roes.
From this sad affair there are some les
sons of warning and wisdom suggested.
One is that country villages are not 50
safe locations for banks as cities aud large
towns. They are generally without ELI
cent police, they seldom can afford build
ings. safes and surroundings equal TO
those of cities, the banks are less under
the eve OF the public, aud offer great
temptations from their location to the
nractised hands that make study and
business OF the robbing OF banks. In
these days when 6ank-breaklug Is reduced
to science, aud every bank IN the coun-
try is studied by keen rogues sklliul to
detect any weakness, there cannot be + o
much care. exercised in the safe location
and construction OF banks.
Another practice which oug Ia TO be elm
mated from the methods OF dealing with
bank robbers. is that OF treating with
them for return to the bark. alter ha,-
ing robbed it. of share OF the booty, il
consideration that the r0gues shall not he

compromising felony is excusabIe this is
not one OF them. 1t makes the crime re-
spectacle. 1t puts the rUbber on plane
with honest men. 1t encourages him to
pursue his villainous course. Ii one bank
gains by it in dollars and cents, all banks
are more exposed and suffer more in con
sequence OF it. The temptation in $50
lated cases is sometimes almost irresisti-
BILE, but the community OF banks always
suffers by such transactions. Bank rob-
bers are hardenel criminals. They never
attempt to rob bank without cody aud
carefully determining 10 murder il 10y
murder they can secure their plumber or
make heir escape after the deed is done.
Murder is part OF their system, and they
deserve no more sympathy, no better
treatment than other men who have muir
der in their hearts and take the lives OF
human beings. Ii the laws would treat
such criminals in accordance with their de-
serts few of them who get into State
Prisons would trouble the public again
In the case at Dexter no booty having
been secured by the robbers there can be
no compromise with them, but the bank
in defence of whose property Mr.. Barron
gave his life, owes il to him that no means

bring them to answer in the courts of jus.

Congress for many years and Speaker of the
House from 1861 to 1858, says the panic of 1873
was not caused by lack of the circulating me-
diun called money, for the volume in that yeal
Vas greater than at any previous period. The

in 1874, sos 100000. He fixes the cause of the
crash at over production in every branch of in.
dustry except agriculture. The ability or capacity
to consume has its limits, and we had reached
that point. From 1869 to 1872 there were "a, 305
miles of railroad constructed in the United States
and for the next four years only S,S66 miles were
built. In 1873 there were in the United States
90,65l miles of railroad, which had cost almost
$1,000, 600 600, more than half of which amount
returns nothing to the investors. The production
of iron IN one year during part Of 1871 and 1872
was greater than for the ten preceding wears, and
with the stoppage Of railroad building it was far
beyond the capacity of the people to consume
War consumption and destruction gave the first
impulse to production. Our importations of for
eign merchandise were enormous. The munich

VI 600 600 900, more than half of which was con-
trsoted between 1860 and 1874. AS people, for

Of whom were subsequently

tongues darting defiance at The

through the air TO a place Of
safety. They Kissed with mad

with their tails in fury, and
seemed to screech III agony
The number Of them seemed tc
be endless, until the whole
structure was so far consumed
that no more could escape.
Great rattlesnakes, blow
snakes, moccasins,ga garter snakes
and water snakes were huddleC
and hustled together as they
came forth apparently born of
the flames. Wild with rage
and tossing venom into the fire
which seemed only to increase
its volume, they coiled on Tho
ground with arched necks ready
to strike the foe that approach

seemed to stand on the edge of

took refuge in large pile of
