The relations between the President and
Gov. Hill, of New York, continue to be
the subject of a great deal Of speculation.
There are a few New York politicians who
insist that Gov. Hill is working enorgeti-
caIly for the Democratic Presidential
nomination in 1883, while others who
claim to be in his confidence say that he
is expecting and hoping for nothing
more than a second Gubernatorlal
term. 1t is, of course, impossible to say
what Gov. HIPS intentions are. 1t is
certain that few newspapers and party
leaders in New York are doing all they
can to increase his prominence with the
view, apparently, Of urging him when
the proper time comes for the Presidential
nomination. Gov. Hill himself is not in
different TO his own interests. He misses
no opportunity to appear before the pub
lie, and the aim of his speeches appears
to be to gam the good will of the people.
No one will deny that ne has strong
following in New York. He is showing
himself to be a very shrewd politician.
His shrewdness, however, may defeat his
ambition. The people are apt to be afraid
TO put too much trust in a man who is
spoken OF as shrewd rather than as an
honest man.
1t is said that Gov. Hill believes that 1t
is not possible to defeat the Presidents
denomination. He may entertain that
opinion, but some of the newspapers
which are very friendly to him do not APP
pear to entertain it. If be should he re-
elected Governor and the President
then aspire to the Presidency with some
prospect of success, provided lie sue
ceeded in maintaining his popularity as
Governor.
There are two reasons why his chances
for the Presidential nomination in
the President, from present indi-
cations, will be stronger than he will.
The party cannot very well avoid
renomipatin the President. He is max
ing good record, and is all the time
growing in favor with the people. The
other is that if the President is not re-
nominated the opposition to taking the
candidate from New York will he very
strong. However, many things will hap
pen which will tend to help to settle the
Presidential nomination question before
the time for making the nomination ar
rives. AS far as the relations between
the President and Gov. Hill are con-
oerned, no one seems to be able to say
that they are not friendly.

National Rank Facts.

In speaking of the recent dedication OF
Cashier Gould, of the First National
Bank of Portland, Me-, the Comptroller
OF the Treasury, Mr.. Trenholm, day or
two ago furnished some interesting infor-
nation about national banks.
The national banking act has been in
operation twenty-three years, and in that
time 1852 national banks have been Or
ganized. OF this number 112 have be-
come insolvent from all causes. But all
OF these were not disastrous to those who
trusted them. The number which failed
to pay depositors in full is about 4S; the
other GA managed to meet their liabilities
to those who banked with them. This is
certainly an excellent record-far better,
indeed, than the State banks OF circulation
made which were in existence immedi-
ately preceding the establishment of the
present banking system.
1t is estimated that of the 112 national
banks which became insolyent So were
forced to close their doors because of the
acts of dishonest officials. II all which
have suffered from the wrong doing or
their officers, however. had been COM
PEELED to go into liquidation it is highly
probable tAat the number of national
banks which have become insolvent would
be much greater than it is.
There IS no doubt that the national
banking system is much the best that the
country has ever had. and that it Is the
most satisfactory is beyond question.
National bank notes are taken In all parts
OF the country without question. The
bank note detector is thing OF the past,
and the bank note broker went out of
business when the State banks of circu-
lation went cut OF existence.
There are now IN operation. 1855 ma
tional banks, and since the establishment
OF the national banking system 592 banks
have gone into voluntary liquidation.
Although since the adjournment of Con-
gress large amount of per cents, which
are the basis of the circulation of many
banks, has been called, there does
not appear to be much of a
disposition on the part of the banks
to go out of business. Since the bond
call in June forty-nine national banks have
been established. This is a pretty good
indication that there is money enough in
the national banking business to justify
the purchase of bonds at a high premium
as basis for circulation. While it is
true that national banks. when properly
managed, are money making Institutions
and have accumulated great wealth for
their stockholders, the people do not
complain because they have been pro-
vided with a safe and satisfactory cur

ANOTHER "srNauLAn Story"
The Ducks of Wyoming that Live and
Swim in Underground Ponds.
From the Cheyenne Lsad4r.


From the Cheyenne Leadsr.
A singular story comes from the head of
Panther creek, a stream of Northeastern Col
orado, with its course not many miles from
the Nebraska line. One Of the sources Of the
creek is a shallow, sedgy pond, from which
the water pours over miniature precipce
some ten feet in height and i've or six in
width.
The pond is the resort, in their season. of
great many wild ducks. who feed on the sedgy
plants growing on its margins aud its shallow
bottom. Last year neighboriug rancnman
noticed that on disturbing these water fowl;
In place of flying to distance. they circied
about for a few moments and then dashed
through the veil of water formed by the falls
coming from the pond,
Though a good deal astonished the ranch
man had then no time for investigation OF the
singular circumstance, and not until q short
time ago did he follow the track of the ducks
through the falling waters. Beyond slight
ducking ne experienced nc, inconvenience IN
passing behind the falls. Once there and the
way was clear. Opening before HIM was

nelght To allow man to pass upright. Inc

yards before the sound of = great quacklng

of which was lake. The surface OF this lake
was thick with ducks. The water fowl were
mostly mallard and teal. though several other
varieties were represented.
On the approach of the intruder the ducks
arose in an immense cloud and disappeared
through an opening beyond the lake. Our
adventurer followed them and found another
and similar lake, covered with wild ducks.
Again the fowl arose. and with frightened
ana clamorous quacks thronged through still
another passage way. Hero the pursuer
found the largest lake of. all and the end OF
the subterranean water chain. The ducks
now took the back track. and he could hear
the rush of their wings and the sound of their
harsh notes growing fainter as they sought
the safety of the outer air,

A curious case is bothering the doctors

well advanced in years, from whose body
at different points there have been taken

only solution offered is that in early years
