Banks Not Involved in the Panic-Action
of the Treasury Department.
. WASHINGTON, December 16.-Mr.
Trenholm, Comptroller of the Currency,
was asked by an Associated Press reporter
this afternoon what he thought of the sit
uation in Wall street to-day so far as the
banks are concerned. he said in sub
stance: II learned nothing to lead me to
think that the banks are all involved in
the panic I haye received kilograms from
the Presidents of several banks, and they
all concur in ascribing the present trouble
to the collapse of stock operations. The
more experienced and conservative bank
ers had foreseen this, and consequently
were prepared for it. So far as my infor-
nation goes, none Of the banks are impli-
Gated with any persons reported as embar-
rassed by the panic. Here is a telegram
have Just received from a gentleman in
New York. In whose judgment have
great confidense: Market better; money
stringency confined to Wall street. Many
of the banks conservative course lately re-
garding fancy stocks partly causes strin-
gency Unless failures occur, worst is
over. No signs of weakness among banks. s"
TO FINISH Up HIS FUNERAL.
Among the prominent arrivals to-day
was ex-District Attorney Stone, who has
achieved tempory prominence before the
country as victim of perniciOus activity
on the wrong side. Mr.. Stone will weigh
almost ton. Senator Voorhees, and gull
lotined Stone met at Wizards as if by ac-
cident, and the former appeared to be a
very ordinary sized man. He appears none
the worse for being fired. He is giant in
size, and looks like a Christmas-fed leef
with his clean shaven face and prominent
mustache. He offers no objection 10 his
successor Allen, but requests his Senators
to urge his confirmation without Opposi-
ton Mr., Stone is no wilmer, but a manly
Republican, and only comes to put the fin
ishing touch on his funeral by final set
| tlement of his accounts.

Mr.. BECK APoLOGIsED.

Mr.. Beck alluded to his remarks yes
terday as to the Judiciary Committee hay-
ing acted in bad faith, disclaimed any in
tention of being offensive; and said if they
were so construed, he retracted them.
Mr.. Pugh said that he certainly had
construed Mr.. Beck's remarks as per-
Sonally offensive. His statement now was
entirely satisfactory and gratifying and it
relieved him (Pugh) from necessity
which would have been very painful.
The Senate then took up the unfinished
business of yesterday-beiug the bill to
repeal

THE TENURE OF OFFICE ACT.


Mr.. Edmunds addressed the Senate in op-
position to the bill. He argued that if the
executives of State Governments could not
be trusted as they were nOt) with the
kingly power, it was still more important
that the National executive should not be
trusted with such power. The philOsoph-
ical, the analogy of public safety, the
preservation of liberty against executive
power and executive corruption made it
more important ION the question of policy
that the President of the United States
should not possess the entire disposal of
every official act and Of every official per-
son in the United states than it was that
the executive of State should not possess
it. The ten:Te of Office law WAS restraint
now, although the President was making \
great number of suspensions. The pas
sage of the pending bill would
be an iuyitatiOn-mOre than invitation
it would be a recognition, an approval of
the idea that on purely political grounds
of opinion the President ought tas his pre-
deceSSor had done before the tenure Of Of
| flee law in lS6Tl 10 remove immediately
every body who did not agree with hun or
some drpartment officer or with his party.
He thought that that would be step
twenty-five wears backward in the pro-
greSs of removing the working operations
of the Government from the mere cOndi-
ton of a political fortune, and prize and
stake. He believed that all these offices
ought to held Tor fixed terms, and he was
perfectly willing that the President might
tor every vacancy select u man of his own
persuasion.

Why Democrat Is Support Cover
nor RuSk.

Having conferred with a number
of Democrats in Iowa county con
corning their political attitude in the
present campaign, and inquired into
their special reasons for supporting
Gov. Rusk in preference to the can
didate of their own party, the an
swers have been as varied as the
causes which impelled them to their
final decision in the matter. And
although different reasons have been
given by different persons, yet one
singularly uniform reason has been
assigned in every case, which seems
to have predominated and decided
their action: They do not hesitate
to say that as Mr.. Cleveland and the
principal ministers of government
have entered upon system of civil
service reform in all the offices to be
filled by appointment, they feel that
they have been released from all OBJ
legations to exclusively support the
Democratic party nominees for the
elective offices, and that they are
now free to follow the example of
the president and his ministry. They
say they worked faithfully and with
honest motives to secure the cleo
ton of Mr.. Cleveland and to estab-
lish a Democratic administration,
and that now, near two years after
his election, they are informed by
him that there is no such an oddly
in politics As a Democratic admins
tration, but that the true name for
what they refer to is "conglomerate'
Administrations; and that so far as he
and his principal officers are con-
corned they are decidedly of the
opinion that the chief duty of a
Democrat is to establish aud sustain
a Democratic administration, and
that the chief duty of Democratic
administration is to do as it pleases.
After two years of experience if Mr..
Cleveland and his ministry have
decided to adopt the policy that Re
publicans should not in all cases be
removed from Office, he and they
will no doubt be glad to learn that
their policy is being widely endorsed
by the Democrats Of Wisconsin who
are working to retain Gov Rusk in
his present office. These Democrats
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1886-10-07

cratic politicians who are now en-.
gagged in ascribing improper motives
both to Mr.. Mitchell and Gov. Rusk,
show themselves to be not only I'M
grateful to their oldest and ablest
friends, but nngrateful to and an
mindful of the benefactions of their
own wisdom and nobility.
These censolious Democrats who
are so wantonly addicted to discoy-
ering improper motives for the
actions of men, should take a more
generous and charitable view of the
higher important public matters to
see if they could not also dis cover
many good and WORTHY motives
which might prove equally persua-
sive in actuating good men in high
and honorable public stations. Per
haps there is no one man in the city
of Milwaukee, or even in the state
of Wisconsin, who has larger inter
ests which depend for their protec-
ton and pres ervation on a prompt
and faithful execution of the laws
o f the state than Mr.. Mitchell, and
all of us are aware that there is no
man in the state of Wisconsin
whose good name and the discharge
of a solemnly obligated duty depend
so much on the faithful execution
Of the laws as that of Gov. Rusk;
then why will not those few Demo
Gratis, if they be honest with them
selves and with the members of
their own party and with the people
at large, say candidly and frankly
as Mr.. Mitchell has done that all the
most sacred as well as primary in
terests of the people of the whole
state, and the sworn constitutional
duty of Gov. Rusk, alike demand
that good order and the faithful ex-
ecution Of the laws should prevail
everywhere within the executive
jurisdiction And for these reasons,
which of themselves are abundantly
sufficient, and high over all sordid
and unworthy motives, we should
be constrained to disengage our
selves from the entanglements of
political uncertainties, and at once
adopt and as promptly act upon the
safe and reasonable suggestion that
all good and worthy Democrats
ought calmly and decisively to fore
90 the abuse and censure of less
noble ones, and go on in the spirit
of patriotic sovereignty IN the CRATE
full work of sustaining and supporting
the present chief executive by EN-
ulating the fearless example of
Hon. Alex. Mitchell.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.


As the leaves begin to fall the
Capital City begins to scintillate
with returning society. Washing
ton is the most popular autumn re-
sort in the country. To be sure, at
no time in the year is this city en-
tirely out of season. 1t is the win
ter Saratoga, while Congress sits.
Throughout the summer months, a
time when the habitants Of most
cities seek sea or mountain breezes,
Washington is never empty. AT
this time of the year a special class
comes to this city, taking advantage
of the summer excursion rates. But
the autumn season is becoming the
most fashionable Of the year, and
more wealthy people are found here
then than at any other time.
The Presidents vacation seems to
have spoiled him for work. There
was a good deal awaiting him on
his return, but he seemed little IN
clined to attend to it. Every day,
accompanied by his wife and
mother-in-law, he drives out in his
stylish Victoria, drawn by a dash
ing chestnut team. Usually his
drives are in the direction of his
country home, which will be finish
ed about Christmas. 1t is whispered
that it is Mr.. Cleveland's intention
to present this house, when com
pleted, TO Mrs. Fol som, and TO build
himself another near Arlington
Heights.

room mates canary that was

THE Northwestern Chronicle, the
organ of Bishop Ireland, of the
Roman Catholic church, at st. Paul,
has come out in strong editorial
repudiating the platform OF the
Democratic party of Minnesota, and
in favor of the Republican ticket.
TIE new silver certificates now
being issued are said to be the most
artistic paper.money ever issued
from the Treasury Department.
Those of larger denomination,
however, soon to be issued, will
possess superior attractions for most
people,
THE fact that no congressman
from this district ever gave more
universal satisfaction than Mr.. La
Toilette is generally regarded as all
the boom he needs during the cam
paign. An appreciation of this
merit, however, should be made
manifest at the polls by giving
him such a majority as was never
known in the district before. The
Democrats may dub him the "kln-
dergarten candidate" but with the
same breath will have to concede
him to be the peer of his associates,
regardless OF his youth, IN integrity
and intelligence.
MILWAUKEE, .Sentiael,-Jeff Davis
takes his cue from the southern
Democratic press and denies that he
was a traitor and says he has been
compelled "lo show Gen. Sherman
up as liar" in order "to protect my
character and reputation" jeff de-
clares that Gas the Republican party
renounced the issue of treason when
it abandoned my trial in 1867, not
at my instance, but in face of my
defiance, It's leaders of the present
day but stultify themselves in the
cry of traitor which they raise at
the mention of my name" Things
are getting Strengthened out, and the
north may congratulate itself If
jeff does not demand a salary from
the United States treasury for his
services as president of the right
eous Southern Confederacy. 1t is
rather tough on old Tecumseh Sher-
man, though, TO find after all these
years of honor that he is only
scouudrel and liar aud a murderer
and that jeff is an honor to his sex.
