Revenge of an Eeicted Farmer.

LONDON, May 14.-Much excite
ment has been caused throughout
Galway and Roscommon by the
action of an evicted farmer of Bal
linasloe. Having decided upon re.
venge, the farmer called upon the
bailiff who had performed the act
of eviction, and piled him with
liquor until the official became in
sensibly tipsy. The farmer then
took the helpless man and held
him over the fire until he was fatal
ly burned. Despite the barbarity
of the deed, the assassin has the
sympathy of a large number OF poor
farmers in both counties.

THE BILL requiring private bank
ing institutions to make reports OF
their financial condition the Auditor
General was, after much discussion,
defeated last week in the House,
whose chief business seems to be
the overthrow of all measures de-
signed for the protection of the peo-
pie. The chief arguments against
this wholesome measure were, that
at was an invasion of private
rights" and that people are not
obliged to deposit with private
banks. Nothing could be more
fiimsy. A bank, whether private
or otherwise, whether owned by one
or a score of individuals, appeals to
the public for deposits, and the pub
lie has a right to know its money
is safe. where it is deposited. And
it does not meet the question to say
that people are not obliged to de-
posit their money with private
banks if they do not choose to dc
so. In many communities there
are none but private banks, and de-
posits must be made with them, OF
not at all. The private banker as
sumes public function, and should
be amenable to public supervision
in the interests Of the public, and
there is no good reason why private
bankers should be exempt from lie.
gal supervision.
Mr.. Colborn is reported as stating
in debate, that 1.-THE act would wipe
out private banks" and that there
were four in his county, all protest
ing against it. This was an ill-con'
sidered declaration on the part o.
our generally astute representative
For years, all private banks and
bankers have made just such reports
as this act contemplated. to the Ma

are not wiped out of existence

woman of marked religious character
and force. Back to years immemorial in
the minds ofthe village children she has
taught in the sunday school.
Now, when you put such woman In
the White House, there must be conse-
quences. It is not the first time sister
has been placed there. A wife has
strong influence over President.
Mrs. Hayes is to blame for good
many things that made her husband ridi-
culOus and held him up for the shafts of
the press. Mrs. Garfield spent the three
or four months she was In the White
House watching the doors to see who
came in. Her anxiety was more do
nestle than social, but 1t preigured

would have been good deal what they
were under Arthur, and probably Mrs.
Garfield escaped a good deal of suffer-
ing that she did not wholly fail to an
ticipate. Mrs. MoElroy gave graceful
aid to her brother. President Arthur, but
she furnished neither let nor hindranOe
to the course Of society. The social
leaders took everything into their own
hands, spent money lavishly to keep
brains back from access to the President,
and so enjoyed his favors to the full.
Miss Cleveland will not be run over
by society. Although she is only n Presi-
dents sister. she has power, and she is
Just the one to use II, but wisely, kindly
and Justly. She had an understanding
with the President before coming here.
II was definite and business-like. The
favor was largely from her to him. The
petty question Of allowance to meet the
demands Of dress and entertainment was
as nothing. but the question of who
should be social master OF Washington
was not overlooked. The new mistress
of the White House told her brother
what she thought her rights should be,
and she came to the White House with
his full assent to them Washington

most by the road indicated can by lit
tie united effort bring about this impor-
tant railroad connection. Proper repre-
sensations to the Huntington people and
the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass
builders, with such assurances Of assist
anoe as can be readily secured, will re-
suit in the building Of the road. Let us
then be up and Going. The opportunity
is one which will account largely In the
future of Cuero. If we miss II our town
and county will receive n setback from
which 1t will be hard to recover. If we
secure 1t there will be a boom which will
result in an increased value in the price
OF real estate all over the county,
while Cuero will continue to hold it's
position as the most important bust
ness point between San Antonio and the
