CIXCINNATI August l. The reports cir
culated in New York and Cncsgo in regard
to business disturbances in Cincinnati ste
wholly sensational and without a basis
of fact. There is no trouble here with
the banks, and the interest Of Cincinnati
operators in the Chicago provis ON specu-
Iations are comparatively trihing. The
best information is that Cincinnati mer-
chants do not own over two million pounds
of provisions in Chicago, and the great
bulk of this is held nv wealthy men who
would not be hurt il il all should be lost.

who OF crate upon margins were wiped out
some time ago. The City National bank at
I.awrenceburg that suspended on Saturday
had II important business relations. us
capital stock Of 100000 was owned bya
single family who used the bank to carry
on a lumber business and saw mill and Its
failure affects nobody outside OF very linn
tied circle. besides, the head OF the family,
owning the bank is wealthy, and all debts
will be paid in full. The Cincinnati banks,
without one exception, are conducted on
extra conservative principles, and can IN no
wsy be affected by ups and downs 10 spec
ulative circles. The banks at this time are
unusualy strong, and all OF them are ABOVE
the requirements as to reserve.

CIVIL RIGHTS.
Opinion OF Judge Harlan Dissenting
from his Associates.

Opinion of Judge Harlan Dissenting
from his Associates.
Justice Harlan, of the United States
supreme court, in a Dissenting opinion
in the civil rights cases, says: 1.-THE
opinion in these cases proceeds upon
grounds entirely too narrow and artifi-
cial. The substance ami spirit of the
has been sacrificed by subtle and IN
genious verbal criticism of constitutional
provisions adopted in the interest of
liberty, and for the purpose Of securing
through national legislation, if need be,
rights inEering in state of freedom
and belonging to American citizenship,
have been so construed as 10 defeat the
ends the people desired to accomplish,
which they attempted To accomplish,
and which they supposed they had &C
complished by changes In their funda-
mental law. The court has departed
from familiar rule requiring an inter
probation of constitutional provisions
that full effect bc given To the
intent with which they were adopt
Ell. The power conveyed by the
thirteenth amendment does not rest
upon implication or differences, and pow
or to enforce it by appropriate legisla-
ton was expressly granted. Congress
therefore may enforce laws To protectth the
cOlored people against deprivation on
account OF their race of any civil rights
enjoyed by other ireemen in the same
slate and such legislation may be of di-
rect and primary charact r, operating
upon states, their officers and agents,
and upon those welding power under
the state The national legislature NAV
without transcendiDg the rights of the
constitution. do for human liberty and
the fundamental rights of American cit
iZenship what it did with the sanction
OF the supreme court for the protection
OF slavery and the rights of masters of
fugitive slaves. In every material sense
applicable to the practical enforcement
of the fourteenth amendment,
railroad corporations, keepers
OF inns and managers of
places OF amusement are agents OF the
state, because amenable TO public regu-
latiOn, and a denial by these instru-
mentalities in state to citizen because
of his race OF that equality OF civil
rights secured him by law, is a denial
by the state, and the supreme law has
decreed that no authority shall be exer-
cised in this country upon the basis of
discrimination in respect to civil rights
against freemen and citizens, because of
| their race. color or previous condition of
| servitude. The assumption that the
general government cannot, in advance

| ceedings, actively interfere for the pro-
lection of any rights, privileges and i'm
munities secured by the fourteenth
amendment, is unauthorized by its

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.

The friends of the enterprise looking
toward the establishment of a public
library IN this city, will be disappointed
over the action OF the city council Monday
evening in reconsidering the vote OF two
weeks ago, which appropriated $3.50 to
this undertaking. We think it would
have been wise for the council to have
waited for the submission of the consti-
tuition which has been prepared for their
consideration, before taking any further
steps IN this matter, as the provisions of
that instrument doubtless set forth more
fully than has yet been done the purposes
OF the association.
We have talked with a number OF the
councilmen to-day. and from the manner
in which they express themselves We 10
not regard the actiOn of last evening as
necessarily final on their part. They de.
sire TO be first assured that they have the
legal authority to make the appropria-
ton asked for, and then tn know that
the library is TO be conducted on such a
plan as will make it beyond all perad-
venture. a permanent institution. We
believe the members of the coun.
Gil are all in sympathy with
the aims and objects of the enterprise,
and if they can be satisfied on the points
named will cheerfuily aid it. They are
all ready to eoneede the great benefits
which would accrue to the city from the
establishment of such a means Of cul
ture in the town and admit that under
such conditions as will place its success

Mr.. Walkup, who made the motion tol

plish whatever they undertake, and VT
have no doubt hut that they can make
such statement oil their cause to thu

Three years ago Fay Templcton
visited Emporia and appeared at Jays
opera house in the Chimes of Nor
mandy" No one who saw her on that
occasion will forget her. Her many
personal charms, the freshness and
beauty of her voice and the srrightlY
and vIvacious character of her acting
produced an impression that will not
soon fade from the minds OF Emporia

as an artist has been constantly growing,
and she is to-day the most popular
soubrette before the public.
We are pleased TO be able to state to
our readers that this attractive artist
will appear at Whitley's opera house
on Monday evening next in her
celebrated dual impersonation of "Gir.

her to bring out the piece in the most

between thirty and forty persons, and in.

has long been known TO our people as
agent for the Union PAcific railway in

studied it under Mr.. White for nearly
three years. This, added to his long ex-
peFience in other departments OF railroad
work, especially qualify him TO under
take the new and arduous duties which
have been assigned TO him. That he
will succeed goes without saying. Mr..
Devereux needs no introduction to our
people. His railroad experience, nearly
all the time in Kansas, has extended over
eighteen years. His record is first.class
and his qualifications for the position
are ample. He will do good service
MIR. Devereux leaves the Northern Pa.

which will not endure the cold OF the
