The Trade Dollnrs.-Thc First Ma
tional Bank now receive trade dollars OH
deposit at So cents on the dollar, giving
the deposition 4 certificate emitting him to
the balance of 10 cents OH the trade dollar
whenever the trade dollar is again worth
100 cents in the financial world, or allow
ing the depositor to redeem his DEPOSIT at
at any time ut SIS cents apiece. This bank
had on hand about $500 trade dollars
when the war on the trades was inaugu-
rated. Nevertheless they took the above
action to protect their customers. This
plan gives the holder of trade dollars the
use of his money at its present value, and
chance to reap the benefit of any advance
that may occur, sooner or later.-HaHorer
pa Herald.
1t is to be hoped that all the banks will
follow this example, and that the trade
dollar may not be the cause OF so much
loss to those who are so unfortunate rs to
hold them.

Ohio Railroad to IIarper's Ferry Was par
ticipatcd in Tuesday by four thousand
persons, and Island Park, where the eX-
cursion was held, overlooked with people,
enjoying themselves in dozen different
ways. Seventy five cars were required to
transport the people, and about twenty OF
them were loaned by the Pennsylvania,
Cumberland Valley and ShendOah Valley
Railroads. Nineteen cars left Baltimore
in two sections, the first at O'Clock. Fiji
teen came from Cumberland, and fourteen
from Piedmont and Keyser. The rain
prevented the excursion from being per-
feet success. 1t began to fall shortly after
twelve, and soon increased until it fell in
, torrents. The pavilions, although quito
numerous, were insufficient to shelter so
many people, and large part of them got
very wet. But In half an hour the rain
ceased for time, and all the suspended
amusements were resumed. Religious
one until four, and these were crowded
until the close. Temperance was sub
! ject much discussed, and several strong
speeches were made In favor Of local OPP
ton. All the speakers upon the subject
of temperance were ladies. Miss Jennie

n.viljons She was assisted by Mrs. Mar
tin, and by Miss Sherman and Miss Ty-
Ter, all of the Woman's Christian Temper

addresses by gentlemen from Washington,
Baltimore and other places. Shortly be-
fore four o'clock the rain began falling
again, this time in q steady, deliberate
way, which lasted until the excursioEistS
departed.

THE Observation-Disclosures
AN INTERVIEW WITH MIR. PHELPS.

PARTY WELFARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN Per-
soNAI YINDIoATIoN-A PLAN For HARMONY,
WAsHINaroN, Nov. 30-Representative William
Walter Phelps. Of New-Jersey, arrived In Washing3
ton this evening In conversation with O reported
he expressed some surprise OF the Importance given
to his recent letter to ex-Speaker Keifer 1t con.
tained he said nothing except the suggestion that
Mr.. Keifer could do his party great good
were he disposed to tell his friends mos
to vote for his denomination in the caucus. 1t was
neither threat nor command nor request, but
simple suggestion. Nor were the reasons given, hs
thought, uncomplimentary to the ex-Speaker They
would apply to all who during the last two years
had held positions In the party of sufficient promi-
nence to excite enmities. The letter was not
marked personal nor private nor confidential, but
was letter on public subject. and as such could
be discussed with propriety by all who were inter-
ested in the subject.
Mr.. Keifer's reply, he said, was kindly enough,
but he feared that personal friends might claim
that denomination was necessary as vindca-
ton for him. lie Dlr. Phelps still thought that
the welfare Of the party was of greater importance
than a vindication Of this kind, which was never
complete or satisfactory. He proposed method Of
procedure which, in his opinion, would tend tothat
party harmony which all desired, and which, while
it might not give Mr.. Keifer ali that he wished,
would not have the appearance OF giving to an
other what Mr. Refers friends claimed was his by
right. That was, that the Republican members
should have no caucus, or If caucus were held
that It should make no nomination. In this case
each Republican member Of the House could vote
for the man he thought best fitted for the post.
This plan, Mr. Phelps said had the advantage
spoken Oft saved Mr.. KeifeT from the appearances
of being set aside. It saved the Republicans of the
House from giving this insignia Of leadership at
time when they could not yet know who was
thest Of the trust. And it gave. no member q pre-
scriptive right to denomination in the XLIXth
Congress where all Republicans hoped the nomi-
nation would be equivalent to an election.
If the Republicans, however, still insisted upon
making some nomination, Mr.. Robinson's name
had been suggested as one commanding many Obvi-
Gus advantages. As Governor of Massachusetts,
he would not be in Washington to claim leadership
in the party on the strength of this Endorsement
Although, could he remain, 1t is doubtful, as Con-
gress is run, if any new member could be found who
would develop more quaifca for the post than
Mr.. Robinson has shown himself to possess Mr.
Phelps had heard several members express their do
sire to vote for Judge Kelley the father of the House.
If a. caucus of Republican members were called Dit:
Phelps expected to attend il, and propose that 10
should adjourn without making any nominations.
