lice court to-day. Judge Smell, in Civ
ing his decision in the case, said he
held that Cohen had excited feeling
of riot among the ignorant class,
which, unless unchecked, might lead to
serious results. As Cohen worked up
this sort of thing, he was sharp enough
to keep out of the way of the law, and
his followers became the victims. All
the meetings and professions similar to
these held by the Cohens were riotous
and disorderly.

A FACT WORTH KNOWING.
A Washington dispatch of the 18th
says: Persons making subscriptions
for United States bonds through nation
al banks which are designated deposi-
tories of the treasury, will do well to re-
member TINT if certificates Of deposit
are issued in the name of the sub
scribers, and not in that of the bank, the
subscribers, in the event ofthe failure of
the bank before the bonds are received,
will have no claim on the government,
and Will stand in the same relation to-
wards the bank as any other creditor.
The question has recently been raised,
when the authorities indicated that
that would be their ruling.
INCORRECT.
Statements have recently deem pub
lished to the effect that Mr.. Knox, COM
ptroller Of the currency in his annual
report will recommend the abolition of
the 10 per bent restriction of the nation
al banking act. These statements are
erroneous, the comptroller having al
ways been strenuously opposed to that
proposition. This scheme is advocated
for, the most part by southern repre-
sentatives, who desi1e tc restore the old
state banks, and to make wildcat cur
rency possible.
BIG CLAIM AGAINST PERU.
