Another Big Failure.

New York, May 14.-Donnell, Law
son & Simpson have announced suspen-
sion. They are large dealers in county,
water and city bonds. They are said to
havetwo millions with the suspended
Metropolitan Bank. The firm say that
owing to the general panic prevailing
they believed it would be best to sus-
pend until they could see where they
stood.
A meeting Of the clearing house has
been called to discuss the situation,
which is regarded as perilous. Secre-
tary Folger has been at the s~ub-treasury
all the morning, and has been visited
by almost all Of the prominent inan-
ciers Of Wall street. He expresses his
determination to use all the power Of
the government to prevent a panic, and
will act promptly to the utmost limit OF
his authority.

In view of the fact that the greatest
coal fields west of Pennsylvania are adj
jacent to Fort Benton-on Deep creek,
Sand Coulee and Belt creek-producing
coal that it is known will coke, the fol-
lowing from the Livingston Enterprise
has more than a passing interest
It was expected that the first of the
coke ovens to be put in by the Union
Pacific company at their mines west of
here would be completed yesterday. It
is situated at the foot Of the Maxey mine
and has a capacity Of about five tons. AS
soon as completed one ovenful of coke
will be produced and shipped to Butte
to be tested in the smelling furnaces.
Upon the success of that practical test
will largely depend the extent to which
the Union Pacific people will carry their
operations in our neighboring coal
fields. The experiment will be watched
with much interest; it is the first coke
oven.in the northwest, so far as we have
been informed, and, still more impor-
tant, its success prognosticates. large
number OF such ovens, whose operation
will demand the work Of many men and
much capital, and rapidly build up one
of the great industries of this country.

The Land Laws,

WASHINGTON, May 16.-A report has
been submitted to accompany the OIL
reported from the house committee on
| public lands, providing for the repeal OF
the presumption and timber culture and
all amendment OF the homestead law.
The committee says: We believe it
should be the policy Of the government
to give those of our citizens who are
| without homes such an amount of the
| public domain as will make them COM
Portable homesteads, where they enter
upon it iii good faith, intending to make
it their home, and c%ultivating and living
upon the same for a fixed period OF
time; and we believe that 100 acres
should be the maximum amount. I'm
der the presumption, homestead and
timber culture laws as they now stand,
one person may become owner OF 45O
acres Of the public domain-l6O acres
under each. This is too large an am
cunt of land, in our opinion, for any
person to acquire in this manner. We
think the policy of the government
should be to furnish as many Of its citi-
zens with comfortable homes as possible
and 100 acres is sufficient for this pur-
pose. By giving this amount it will not
be many years before all our public do
main will be taken up. The pre-emp-
ton law was passed in 1861, the home
stead law in 1862, and the timber culture
act in 1878. When the homestead law
was enacted the pre-emption law should
have been repealed. The timber cul-
ture law should never have been passed.
We have, therefore, in the substitute
provided for the repeal of the pre-emp-
ton and timber culture acts and for the
amending Of the homestead law.

The New South.

William Ell. Todd, one of Montana's
live business men, says the Herald, who
has spent the past winter with his wife
in the south, returns to his mountain
home bringing rapturous accounts OF
the progress and development of i'm
portant industries observed at various
points in several of the states visited by
him. Of Georgia and Alabama he
speaks in particular. The former COM
monwealth is well styled the empire
state of the south. Its wonderful pro-
ducts of the soil are supplemented by
manufactures of cotton fabrics that
promise soon to equal in magnitude any
part Of the globe. He dwells most in
~terestingly upon the magic city of Bir-
mingham, Alabama community of
10000 people which a few years ago had
neither habitation or name. It fairly
huns with industrial life. Great facto-
ries, employing many thousands of
operatives, have sprung into existence
anG are increasingly busy. The iron in
dustry here is unrivaled. Northern and
European capital has invested millions
and more is coming. It is the only Sec
ton in all America where iron, coal and
limestone are Immediately grouped and
available at the cheapest cost. IN iron
products Pittsburg cannot compete with
Birmingham in quality and price. The
growth of manufacturing interests in the
South are something surprising. In
cotton fabrics Georgia will presently
equal Massachusetts,, and in iron pro-
ducts Alabama aspires to equal if not to
lead Pennsylvania. Mr.. Todd believes
that the South has before it a more pro-
missing future than any other part Of the
country in diversified agriculture and
manufactures. lis vast timber greWths
are scarcely second in value to its iron
and coal beds. All the grains and fruits
Of the tropic and temperate are
there, and help to multiply the sources
Of wealth. Tennessee is developing
great riches in iron and coal, and indus
trial thrift pervades the state. The same
may be said Of the Carolinas and the
Virginias, which are entering upon an
era Of agricultural, mineral, numbering
and other employments more prosperous
than anything Eel known in their his
tory. We can give but a brief outline
of MI. Todd's glowing story Of the New
South. 1t is full of interest and instruc-
tion. Mr.. Todd shortly leaves for his
home at Fort Benton.

Now that Judge Coburn has gone we
hear more regarding the favorable i'm
preston he made while here, and Of the
desire on the part of many ofour peo-
pie to have known him better socially.
His honor was very busy while here,
as we all know, and it gave him but
little time for society affairs. His man
ner was uniformly courteous and plea
SAINT, and was sometimes sspiced with
good humor. On the bench he main
tanned these characteristics without at
all lessening his dignity, and, when
necessary, he displayed the thoughtful
consideration and decisive mind that
is 50 desirable in such q position as his.

New YORK, May 15.-According to a
Tribune editorial the general feeling is
that the worst is over. There is univer-
sal caution, and there is especially no
evidence that this has been nor can be

The bankers are cabling New York Of
fering a ship load of gold or security of
goods. The News says the American
treasury, which is the ultimate holder
of the American reserve, is we'll supplied
with cash, and this ought to check the
| panic. AL acts show that millions of
English money have been thrown into
American stocks during the three days
in consecutive purchases made through
| Brecker. Capitalists have tonight big
blocks of American stocks, and innum-
cradle investors have been making linz
tied purchases.
NEW YORK, May 1.-THE run or the
Brooklyn savings bank is ended. Seny
has transferred his Brooklyn mansion to
the Metropolitan bank to-day for S175,-
900 and other property for $50, 900. Hotch-
kiss & Burnham have l~iquidated over

not be q single drove of sheep sent out
over the trail in this direction from that
state during the coming season. The
fact that sheep command this high price
in California will have a depressing
effect on the sheep interests of this terri
tory, and its effect is already observable
among sheep men here. One who has
been a prominent sheep man for some
years stated last night that in conse-
quence of this he would sell his entire
flock of sheep for less than their original
cost. What is true of California is also
true of New Mexico.

m. 2. Land Grant.

WASHINGTON, May ia bill relat-
ing to the forfeiture of Northern Pacific
lands to-day provides for the immediate
restoration to the public domain and to
the operation of the public land laws,
of that portion of the grant lying CO.
terminous with the main line between
Wallula Junction and Portland, a dis
lance Of ia miles. 1t also provides for
the forfeiture, at the end Of five years
fronn the passage of the bill, of all the
lands adjacent to that norton OF the
Cascade grant which shall then be u1l-
built, in effect giving the road five
years to bnild the Cascade branch.
The bill proposes to authorize any
person in possession of these lands
to purchase 800 acres, if SO much has
been improved by them. The railroad
is required to file it's assent to the con.
ditions of the bill, so as to avold all
question as to the title to any forfeited
lands.

THE card signed By the business men
of New York, and addressed to John
Jacob Astor and others, designating
them as a committee to name the time
and place where a meeting shall be held
to express approval of the administra-
ton of President Arthur, is a strong
recommendation of that gentleman.
It comes from a source that will COM
mand the respect of all. The meet
viii no doubt be an interesting one, for
there is much to be said in the way of
approval of President Arthur and the
wise and successful policy he has pur-
sued. His administration has been the
smoothest and ~cleanest in the history
of the country.

Horn of his sister.

general features of the labor problem.
He asserted that the present difficulties
were due to over-production. We had,
he said, a years crop OF grain on hand
and were within three months of anoth-
er crop. And nearly a years crop OF
cotton was now stored in the warehouses.
After referring to other commodities
which were in stock in excess Of the
current require mems, he said" Why,

on hand ~ He was facetiously remind
ed that this was a delicate subject. he
admitted that for one who was supposed
to be a presidential candidate it was
necessary tobe cautious.
