Furnishing Bank Presidents.
TTimes-Democrat.i

They appear to understand bet.
ter how to deal with defaulting
bank presidents in Switzerland
than we do in this country. Mr..
Churchod, director of the Bank
Union Yaudois, was arrested as a
defaulter some few months ago.
The authorities did not allow him
to get out of the country or slip
through the meshes of the law,
but arrested him, tried him, found
him guilty and sentenced him to
the full penalty of the law-two
years in the penitentiary and ten
years deprivation of civil rights.
Mr.. ChurchOd was a tiue specimen
of the late James Fisk. He was
patriotic and enterprising, the dar.
ling of society aud the most popu.
lar and open-handed man in Lau.
same. He speculated with the
banks money, speeulated well,
and spent his winnings in public
improvements. in gifts, great en-.
tertainments and receptions but
be continued specializing and lost,
aud, Notwithstanding his former
liberality, when his embezzlements
were discovered he was sent TO
the peuitentiary.
Should the law dealing with
such crimes be enforced as Sc.
verely in America as in Switzer,
land, we would haye fewer de-
faulting bank presidents and cash
iers, aud Canada not quite as
many financial refugees from the
States.

The Democrats Of Brooklyn aud
New York.

The Brooklyn Eagle, after quot.
ing a paragraph from the Omaha
Herald in regard to the New York
Democracy, says: "Our informa-
tion as to the feeling of Democrats
in the cities of New York and
Brooklyn supports the hopeful
view taken by our esteemed Ne
braska contemporary. The effects
of the disappointment caused in
some Democratic circles by the
course of events at Chicago are
dying out. Patriotic resolution is
taking the place of sullenness
and discomfort. The conviction
strengthens that it would be a
crime to keep the Republican par.
ty, with its record Of corruption,
in power for another four years,
when there is q chance to turn II
out. The books must be open Cor
inspection, the accounts must be
investigated and the foul places
made clean. To accomplish this
there is but one way, and that is
to elect Grover Cleveland.n

The Democratic State Commit
tee of New York has received 1920
reports from the 1000 election dis
tricts of the State lying north of
New York City, and the general
tenor is very satisfactory. There
is no desire to hide the actual
truth in these reports, and ma
jority of them frankly admit more
or less dissatisfaction at the pres
ent time, but in no case is 1t con
sidered of sufficient moment to
merit more than passing notice.
If this Tilden system of canvass.
ing the State is to be relied upon.
Mr.. Blaine must needs do with
out the electoral vote of New
York, as the reports show that
from 10000 to 10000 Republicans
will vote for Cleveland. Outside
of New York City the reports say
that Buffers name is only occa-
sionally mentioned, and then in
the light of joke. Mr.. Tilden is
very quietly causing a great
amount of effective work to be
done for Cleveland in the central
and northern portion of the State.

My Dear Mr.. Fisher thank
you for the article from Mr.. Lewis.
1t is good in itself. and will do
good. He writes like man of
large intelligence aud comprehen.
sion. Your offer to admit me to a
participation in the new railroad
enterprise is in every respect as
generous as could expect or de-
sire. thank you very sincerely
for it, and in this connection
wish to make suggestion of a
somewhat selfish character. Ii is
this: You spoke of Mr.. Caldwell's
offer to dispose of a share of his
interest to me. If he really de
sires to do so, / wish he would
make the proposition definite, SO
that | could know just what to dc.
pend on. Perhaps if he waits till
the full development of the enter
prise he may grow reluctant to
part with the share, and | do not
by this mean any distrust of him
/ do not feel that | shall prove a
deadhead in the enterprise if ]
once embark in it. / see various
channels in which | know | cal

Very hastily and sincerely your
friend, JAMES G.. BLAINE.

The Battle OF Peach Orchard.

Tell my mother not to weep for me,
Nor think that am dead,
For III come creeping home again
And sneak right off to bed.
For we fought the battle bravely,
And when the day was done
Full many boy had doubled up.
And the sickest one.
And weeping in the orchard grass
Were boys Of oil degrees,
The peaches in their writing forms.
The last Of many trees.
But one was young, aud filed himself
With peaches to the brim,
Dire misery marked him for his own,
Alas and was him.
And when the cold moon rose that nigh
She shuddered and looked down,
And saw the doctors hurrying
To half the boys In town.
Yes, sadly on the dreadful scene,
Her cold light seemed TO glare,
And she saw the boy take castor oil,
Pain-killer, laudanum, sulphur and mo
lasses, chclagogue, bluemass, paregoric
