AT the Bankers Convention in Boston
last week an interesting paper was read
by Commissioner Of Currency Trenholm
The Commissioner reports an increase
of 120 national banks between May
1884, and June, 1886. There was In.
crease Of capital, surplus and undivided
profits Of $35 0O0, 900, and an increase Of
amount due Individual depOsltors Of
$400C0000. The actual circulation de-
creased, however, $25. 100000. The
Commissioner believes that there is nc
lack OF money, and low prices are not
due to deficient circulating medium
Prices are not, he says, below what they
were thirty FIVE years ago, all things
considered. Bad currency, war and
other evils have caused great fluctUs
tiOns in prices since that time; we are
now attaining normal status. All the
influences that inflated prices prior to
1873, and have brought them down
since that time, have operated, he says,
from Washington. There should, how
ever, be as little interference as possible
on the part of the Government with the
natural course of business. Mr.. Tren.
holm says: 1T cannot be doubted that
all industry Is safest when prices stand
on the solid ground of real and substan-
tial value, and 1t would be- great mis-
fortune to the people and great wrong
on the part of the Government If any
thing should now be done to raise prices
once more to the unsubstsntial level Of
inflated currency"

Golden Chimes,

In the columns of the Flora, Illinois,
journal, of August 18th, appears long
account of the fftieth anniversary OF
the wedding Of Mr.. and Mrs. Sylvester
Rider Of that town. 1t says, "6fty years
ago, in little town in Ohio, this couple
joined hands and started adown the
pathway of life" That "little town"
was Canton. Mr.. Rider 10 an older
brother of Mrs. David Lind and James
Rider and his partner was Anna ShOrb,
whose parents lived about Fulton, this
county. They left Ohio for Illinois in
1843. This golden affair drew together
at least $50 ladies and gentlemen and
they assembled in the Catholic church
of Flora and had mass said. OF course,
grand time was had and many presents
displayed. In fact there seems to have
been joyous time and kept up till ten
at night. Many old citlzans hereab0uts
remember Mr.. and Mrs. Rider and will
rejoice thus to hear Of their golden we'd
ding and lengthening span. Long may
they continue.

In Memor lam.

An ordinary and passing death notice
ls not sufficient on the occasion Of the
passing away of so worthy a man and
useful a citizen as Jacob Ruperd. His
death occurred peacefully on the 7th
inst. at the age Of 60, after a long and
lingering illness of some months, dur
ing which all that loving wife and
family could do was done to alleviate
suffering and smoothe the way to the
tomb, Mr.. Ruperd when a mere boy
was brought to this county from Adams
county, Pennsylvania. His father dying
soon and his mother marrying left him
when boy o. some dozen years to shift
for himself. Honest and industrious he
found friends, and attending school he
taught winter schools for q time. For
a period be was a pupil of the
editor Of this paper. In due time he
married Elizabeth Gaff and lived and
died on tho old Gaff farm two miles
north Of Canton, in Plain township.
Mr.. Ruperd was ever active In good
works, was In fact the public spirited
citizen, interested in agricultural and
horticultural organizations In which he
held prominent cOsitlOns. In these his
absence will long be felt. He was a
man of amiable qualities, and In his
death society loses valuable member.
His wife and three SONS and two
daughters, all married, survive him.
These and all who knew him will ever
cherish his memory and lament that so
good man should leave US go soon.
Peace to his ashes.

SPEAKING OF the Senatorial canvas In
Massachusetts,, where Governor Long
has announced himself as q candidate
against Senator Dawes, the Philadelphia
Bulletin, says:
"The methods of Massachusetts, com
pared with the Payne tactics In Ohio
together witha contrast ofthe two kinds
Of representation that are the result
form a most impressive lesson to the
country at large"
Why do you go away from home to
point your moral and adOrn your tale,
We have had Senatorial elections in
Pennsylvania that smelt to the heavens
Of intrigue and bribery, and their pro.
duct has been such that the second
State Of the Union ranks as II thirty
eighth In the capacity and influence Of
Senators. But then We have Quay, Cooper,
Chris. Msgee or Harry H1hn or PetrCff
in prospect for the Mitchell succession.

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICK ET.
PAYING OUT THE SURPLUS.

The Treasury Department has issued
q call for ten million Of the three PEI
cents, and this will be followed by
further calls, which, both In dates and
amounts, will be In substantial har-
mony with the Morrison resolution. The
Department starts with ten million
minimum for each call, but engages to
Increase it If such policy is warranted
by the receipts. The first call would
have been for more had 1t not been for
the fast that heavy payments will be
REQUIRED before the call natures. These
payments include pensions and claims
awards. The receipts for the past month
and half have not met the expecta
tions of the Treasury officials. The re-
ceipts, however, will increase very ma
terially within the next six weeks, when
the fall trade sets in, from the tobacco
tax, customs and whisky taken from
bond. The second call will be made
for the 5th of September, or within the
usual six weeks period, and the in
creased sources OF revenue during the
next four weeks will make it possible
to fix the amount at $15,000,O00. and
perhaps more, though 100000
is the amount agreed upon, with the
that 1t will be made
more if the receipts aggregate the
amount spprcximated. 1t is believed
the third and possibly fourth calls will
be made at about the same lapse of time
as between the fret and second, but
there has been no positive action or
plan agreed upon.
Assistant Secretary FaiTchild is of
opinion that the third call can and will
be made for not less than $4,000. 900
and perhaps as high as $12,OO0,OOO.
While there Is an ample surplus, he
says, the calls will be made and govern
ed BY the receipts.
