TOO MUCH MONEY

Sixty millions of dollars i'll cash is
held by the New York City banks in
excess of The legal reserve. This un-
wanted surplus is the subject of gen
crai discussion, for the same fact holds
true in the same ratio with the bank
of other cities. Everywhere are mil
lions of idle capital. The Common
wealth IN speaking of the matter says
that business men and manufacturers
do not want To borrow il nj current
rates of discount, and. in fact, hardly
anybody engaged in trade or industry
is borrower of bank funds Many
THEORISTS have explanations for this
condition of affairs, some OF which are
plausible and some otherwise. Dali
ness in .pcculation. the fact that mer-
chants are getting ont of debt and do
not want a line of discount al the
banks and depression in industrial en-
icrprises are among the causes of the
financial congestion at the money CEN
tcrS of the country.

KlNOMAN.
KINGMAN, June 10, 1885.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
The morning this article is read will
be the opening day Of the races at
Kingman. a personal inspection of
the grounds this evening reveals the
fact that the track is in very fair con-
dition. There are some imperfections
of course necessary to a new track
and the continued bad weather in
which TO build it, The grand stand
is in fine shape and the judges and re-
portcrs stands is all that could be |
wished. The large amount of luin-
her used in the construction of the |
stalls, sheds and fences shows that the
labor has been pushed TO the utmost.
Everything is about completed and
there is no doubt but what everybody
will he satisfied, and that there will be
a grand send off for the first effort
this far west in Kansas Nothing has
been left umdone that the active and
enterprising brain of Mr.. Geo. i. Fill
ly could do, with money and genius
combined. The town is filling up
with people preparatory for the open
ing day. The number Of horses on
the ground tonight is twenty-seven.
Among the trotters may be mentioned
are Pritchard, Sherman, Fred Doug
lass. Simon, Cash Boy, G.. T. Pilot,
Maggie Shields, Cling, aud Light Bird
stallion. The PAGERS are Nellie b.,
Geo. T., Banner Boy, Spider and Bud
wiser. The runners are Essatih, Ross
more, Lulu Pitchfork, Johny, Julia Nj.
Hattie I, Hibernia, Nathan Oaks,
Duke O'Connor and Bright Light.
There are several more in town but
none are now at the track.
Mr.. Doty, of Wichita, noted horse
man arrived to-day. Several well
known sporting men arrived here on
the noon train. and among them sew
eral of kingman's former citizens,
who have been of for a vacation.
The town Of Maud some fifteen
miles west of here sought to rc-Organ-

ing citizens took hand in the deal,
and they had already began TO count
upol the spoils, and some weak-knecd
| real estate agert had been assured that
soon the new town company would
give them something that they could
sell, and their faces began to brighten
up in bright anticipation of getting
hold of dollar once more, when be-

headlights of the Santa Fe railroad,

Referring TO the cattle being put out Of

being driven out of that neck of the woods.
The cattle have been ordered out of
the Araphoc and Cheyenne reservations.
but these do no, include Oklahoma, and the
soldiers have no orders to compel the eva
custion of Oklahoma by the cattle men.
Mr.. G. says further, that only about $4,000
instead of 100000 head of cattle were in
these reservations before the spring round
up.
Things begin to look as if preparations
are being made for the early opening up OF
the northwest corner of the Territory. 1t
is rumored down there that negotiations are
going on between government agents and
the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians, with Il
view to their ceding their reservations 10 the
government and they to be transferred to a
part Of the Pawnee reservation. | hear that
such arrangements are under consideration
and the leading Indians say this will be the
beginning of the opening Of the whole ter
ritory. Wealthy Indians are not averse TO
such an end. as they say they will have
better protection for their property. The
Atlantic and Pacific Railroad company have
begun TO grade forty miles of road out from
Vinita in order to hold their government
grant OF each alternate section and the COM
pany intends TO grade as far as Fort Reno
