cONTROLLER KNON,S REPORT.

The most valuable documents produced in
this country, bearing upon the currency qucs-
ton, are the yearly reports OF Controller
Knox. II IA TO be regretted that the report
about to be presented, embOdying vast
amount Of information regarding the working
of the banking systems of this country at diff
ferent periods. and of other countries,
cannot secure intelligent and apprccia-
tive attention from every voter. 1t is not
merely an elaborate report upon the opera
tons of the National banking system, but it
contrasts with that system, at all important
points, the more numerous State and private
banks which now exist, the State bank sys-
TENS which existed before the war, and the
banking system of Great Britain. 1t must be
added, as an especial credit to Mr.. Knox, that
tho entire accuracy of his reports and compu-
tations never has been challenged
The forthcoming report surveys a field Oc-
cuped by 6,45G banks in all, having $685.
OOO, 900 of capital, and holding 81 ,92O, ,OOO.-
600 of deposits. The fact that 3, 100 private
and State banks, which are now in existence,
do not see fit TO organize as National banks,
and to share the advantages of circulation, is
used with great force. The report shows that
273 of the National banks have gone into
voluntary liquidation. having 50, 200, 600 circu-
lation, and that other banks have voluntarily
surrendered S66,OOO.OO0, or $29,4OO, 900
more circulation than has been issued to banks
during the same period. 1t is justly urged
that the banks themselvcs-both those within
the National system and those outside of it
thus afford ample proof that the advantages
of circulation are not found attractive, in
view of the many restrictions which the Ma
tional Banking Act imposes for the protection
of the public.
| 1t is a new and important point that the
National Bank Act, in requiring capital to
be fully paid, secures much higher degree
of protection than exists under the British
system. The British banks, according to the
latest reports. have capital amounting to only
| 1919 Der cent Of their liabilities. while the

informalty can justify such step, when the
faith of the community which issued these

As no reply was received from the Ameer
up to yesterday, the British army has
been ordered to advance. This is announced
by Conservative journal, and there IS no
reason to doubt its accuracy. Lord Gran

published, Is undoubtedly intended to explain
why England is about to invade Afghanlstan'
1t is a tardy recognition OF the pub
lie right to know something OF the
mysterious plotting which has attended
every step IN the Auglo-Afghan dispute
As the document gave warning that
unless clear and satisfactory reply from
the Ameer were received by yesterday
he must be treated as "a declared en-
"emy," it was tantamount to declaration
of war. In India the $4,000 men assem-
bled at Peshawur, Kohat, and Quettah
have been chatting for the order to
march. As time is precious at this season, it
it probable that they will promptly cross the
frontier. Thus, without consulting Parliament
or the people, England drifts INTO serious
war

THE CASE or COLONEL DWIGH

Has man q right to obtain the largest amount
Of insurance upon his life which he posi-
blv carryf Colonel Walton Dwight insured
for about q quarter of million CT dollars lie
died not long afterward. If his policy had
heen for any small or comparatively small sum, the
money would have been promptly paid by the
losing company. There would have been no sus-
pcion of fraudulent intent. But when n man
strains every nerve to insure himself for large
amounts, in an unusually large number of COM
NAMES, it cannot be denied that the circum-
stance is at least unusual, that it
demands close and thorough investigation.
No reproach can therefore attach to the
companies which have determined to make q
rigid inquiry into the facts Of Colonel Dwights
death; and should nothing be discovered TO forbid
IT, prompt payment will undoubtedly be made The
object of life insurance is not to enrich survivors.
but 10 provide comfortably for them. There
should therefore. be some limit TO the number and
amount of risks in different offices upon single
life. But Colonel Dwight may have acted with
perfect honesty He had been rich. His idea Of
a competence may, therefore, have been high one.
He had been assisted In his financial troubles by
advances from his wife's private fortune. and he
may have desired that these should be more than
money on the security of these policies for the pur
| pose of embarking again in business Moreover he

though the prizes were not to be paid to himself

II was announced by that eloquent and I'M
pas-ioncd orator, Senator Ben Hill, of Geor-
gia, in his recent speech before the Georgia
Legislature, IN which he repelled with IN
dIgna,ion the charge that I'VE OF

One poll has been found IN SOuth Carollna
where the negroes voted the Democratic
ticket. They did it before the muzzles OF
Democratic revovers. Some one should break
the news gently to Wade Hampton.
The Southern Democrats who object to the
reappearance of "the bloody shirt" forget
that they revived it themselves in the late
campaign, adopted it as a Democratic uni
form, and made it the signal of outrage, and
sometimes of death, to ignorant and helpless
blacks.

1t seems necessary to remind our enter
prising contemporaries again of the necessity
of not outshlpping, in too marked a manner,
the detective efforts of the police in the Stew
art case. 1t is naturally lnmiliating to
the men whose business ii is to detect
the authors of this crime, to find that
they are, so far, unable to apprehend the real
criminals or to trace the body, while our
enterprising contemporaries have captured
swarms of prisoners and discovered enough
bodies to convince us that the robbers of Mr.
Stewards grave must have carried of whole

declares that he has no knowledge
of the whereabouts of the remains Oh
of the thieves, and is still as much in

proof of Judge Hilton's utter lack of detec-

RISING SUN MINE.

We saw some very fine quartz from this
mine up at the Carson Savings Bank yester-
day. 1t was taken from a point about one
hundred and sixty feet from the surface. The
ledge is about thirty feet in width, the vein
matter, from which the specimens shown US
came, being two feet wide. The Rising Sun
is in Esmeralda county, a short distance from
Willows Station, on the Columbus road, and
is on the line of the rich mineral belt run
ming through that section. The rock bears a
strong resemblance to the average Comstock
ore, being rich in sulphurets, and showing
free traces of silver. This is the mine more
generally known as the Ellis mine, and is
owned principally in Carson. 1t is being
systematically worked, there being fifteen
men employed, and we expect to hear the
best of reports from it soon.

THE OPERA HOUSE BALL AND

TO the readers of the MORNING APPEAL in
the precincts and dwelling places OUTSIDE of
Carson, these facts are to be presented
namely: the splendid programme arranged
and adopted for the Fourth, will be cap
sheafed in the evening by Ball, Concert and
COLLATION. at the New Opera House Piper's
Opera House Orchestra will be there and
furnish the music the best eight voices in
Western Nevada will sing Hymn, written
especially for the occasion, besides other and
appropriate songs; and the most brilliant
company ever assembled here will be present
and participate in all the exercises. Indeed,
taken all in all, Carson never offered so many
attractions in any single day as will be appro-
priately concluded with this Promenade Con-
cert at the Opera House. And Carsomtes
should recollect the object: To raise funds to
pay the scene painter.
