hands of the people. Nothing OF the kind
can now happen. No bank can issue u
single dollar for which II has not given a
dollar and ten cents security.
The charges against the banks are moth
ING lint words-loud sounding words, bra
zenly put together with keen article, and
diuned into the ears Of the people. And
wherefore? The banks are benefcent In
stitution, established for facilitating the
business or the merchant, the manuisctur, ,
err. the ship-builder, the craftsman, ana
business of every kind. The war upon the
banks Is war upon the business OF the
country. And who, more than the labor
ing classes and the people Of small means,
are interested in general business prosper
ity? And who, more than these, can ae-
sire the defeat OF the demagogues, Who
for their own selfish ends, are laooring 10
create strife between labor and capital, ana
whose policy, II put In practice, would on

On BUSINESS PRINCIPLEs.-ofc ivil ser
vice reform on business principles, the
Philadelphia Press says: This latter Is
common watchword with the reformers.
but they seem 20 use II without much con-
sideration. No business nrm, no great
corporation selects It's employees by exam
nation. They rely very generally on %
personal recommendations and 90 on the
good conduct and ability shown during a
term of probation. Few OF them are above
being Influenced in their selections by con-
siderations which have nothing TO do with
the applicants efficiency. They take the
child of a dead kinsman or an old sweet
heart in preference 20 another who has
not this recommendation. And they Sc
cure faithful service by having their en-
ployes understand % that SO long as
they do their duty and are needed, their
places are secured for them, and (2) that
they will get promotion as fast as yacan-
cies occur. Those are the principle.
which would govern the application OF
business methods 10 the civil service.
But they are not the principles most fav-
ored by those who talk most OF the neces-
sity OF managing the government business
Us any other business would be managed.

The PRESIDENT. - Last week the Pres
ident had more serious relapse than
any previously reported. His fever was
higher, and q swelling Of the glands in
his neck indicated most serious complica-
tions. His physicians now declare that
his condition is most critical. that he Is
slowly failing and that all our best hopes
for his recovery arc in vain. II he has
not expired before this writing, his re-
manning hours of life are but few. 1t is
a sad termination to his heroic struggle
for life, and to the weeks Of watching,
care and prayers of the people.
Monday morning kilograms announce
that the Presidents condition is more
favorable, and his physicians take more
hopeful view of the case.

tax for that town. Mr.. John Black also
came in last week and paid the balance

the entire tax for Oxford County-that
being the proportion which Paris pays.
