Bank Troubles.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 10.-There
were large crowds around the First
National Bank and Indiana Bank
ing Company an hour before open
ing time this morning. At 9:45 the
doors of both banks are still closed.
An announcement has just been
made that they will not open for two
or three hours. The directors Of the
First National, with several large
andinfluential capitalists of the State,
met at 8 o'clock this morning and
are still in session, but nothing has
been made public.
LATER.-Both suspended banks
remain closed, following the notice
posted On the door. The First Ma
tional board of directors are in session
considering what is best to be done,
but have not yet arrived at a c0nclu-
sion. The board of directors of the
First National Bank adopted resolu-
tons at their meeting this morning
to double the stock Of the bank to
eight hundred thousand dollars in
stead of four hundred thousand dol
lars, provided a syndicate headed by
MIR. Depau and Mr.. English was
formed to take the management and
contracting the amount Of stock. A
paper was drawn up to this effect
which was signed by all directors
and stockholders present and a com
mittee appointed to get the consent
Of stockholders not present. AS soon
as this consent is completed it is un-
derstood a new party will come into
the concern that will make it n of
the strongest financial institutions in
the country. It may take a few days
to do this and gather in the re-
quired amount of currency, but
it may be done in a few hours.
These banks held a meeting this
morning and agreed if the proposed
syndicate was Termed they would af-
ford all the assistance to the First
National that might be required. It
may be said, therefore, that whilst it
is unfortunate thai any trouble oc-
Cured, there is really no reason for
alarm, and that ultimate good may
result from it. Very little informa-
ton has been obtained as to what the
Indiana Banking company may do
but it is probable they will be able to
resume also in a very short time
There has been no extraordinary de-
mands on any of the other banks for
funds to-day.

GUNNY-BAGS.

Daring u early INNING DAYS III
California when dry goods stores
were not found in every mining
camp and men and women paid but
little regard to fashion, save that
J which prevailed in their own little
community, -four sacks were scruru-
lousy saved and utilized in making
or patching various articles of wear
ing apparel. In those days ''self-
rising'' flour was used altogether by
miners. The brand was put on in
large, indelible letters, and as fami-
lies settled in the State the words,
expressly for family use" were ad-
ded underneath. Garments made
from flour sacks thus lettered were
so common as to excite no notice.
They were only conspicuous by their
absence, and a miner in the heart of
the Sierras who could not sport
a clean Sunday suit of this
material lost caste among
his companions. To wear 1T least,
one garment of ''self-risipg" mate
rial-as it was called-was consid-
cred m regle and removed the wear
er one step above the fellow who con-
cealed his "gra backs" beneath a.
dirty, greasy and unchanged flannel
shirt.
But we have never thought that
the wearing Of "self-rising" pants or
shirts would cut much of a figure in
determining the political advance
ment of the wearer. But such may
be the ase If the wearing of gun
ny-bag pants by the youth will ele-
vate the mar to the governorship of
a great state why should not he, who
once arrayed himself in all the glory
of a "self-rising' suit be called upon
to fill the highest office in the
land? One may say all he needs
are brains. AS brains are
an unknown quantity in tho
makeup of the average politician and
as ne generally has but little use for
them the answer is not the correct
one. He needs something more
gunny-bags. This is the latest "Ohio
idea.n
According to the New York York
Morning Journal Judge Hoadly is
destined to defeat in Ohio. This
disastrous ending of his campaign
will be brought about by his lack of
early training in gunny-bag pants or
self-rising" shirts. The same paper
says: ut seems that some of the en-
thusiastic friends of his Republican
rival, Mr.. Foraker, have brought to
light the important incident in his
career that when he was young his
mother vas obliged to make him a
pair of trousers from a coffee-sack.
They have published the fact to the
world, and now every Republican
organ in the Buckeye State is expati-
ating upon the aesthetic beauty of
coffee-sack pantaloons. Nc one, of
course, would think IF voting against
a candidate who possesses the SUI
preme qualification of having had
his neither limbs clothed in this way
in his salad spanking days. If MI.
Hoadly's friends are wise, they will
hunt up the domestic records Of the
Hoadly family. Should they be able
to prove that their candidate wore a
gunny-bag jacket at the tender age of
seven, they may yet save the day.
The moral of the juvenile Foraker's
trousers is obvious. Every young
American who is looking forward to
an honorable career as Alderman,
Governor or President, should lay in
supply of first class coffee sacks,
warranted to wear. There is virtue
In g%unny-bags.

Irish NatiOnalists'

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-The Times of

the Canadian government, have been
in this city some time shadowing
prominent Irish Nationalist, and
that they have positive proof of a
premeditated plan to blow up the
Wel]and canal by the use of explo'
sives. It is farther stated that re-

ing the designs of the alleged con-
spirators.
