RANK CONDITIONS COMPARED

BANK CONDITIONS COMFARED.
By the operations of the New-York Sub-Treas-
urv in the week ended last Friday evening, which
included the receipt of 81 1905, 900 for exchange
on other cities and the payment Of 81 ,673,550
for purchased bonds, the New-Yotk banks lost
s665,S97. The payment for bonds was princi-
pally made on the last day of the week, that the
sum of gain to the banks counts in this weeks
average for only about s250,000. Yesterdays
weekly bank statement of averages shows a cash
loss of S3,16S,900. Following our estimate
week ago that the banks then held 1000, 600
less cash than the amount given in the statement
of that date, yesterdays statement reflects a net
movement TO the interior other than through the
Treasury of about 100000 and indicates cash
holdings at the close OF business Friday evening
of about 81 $50, 900 more than the average OF the
week. The loans were contracted S3,4Ol 100.
The decline in depOsits-S7, 525. j00-is about
5000, 600 greater than the decrease the other
changes call for. The statement results in a loss
TO the so.called surplus reserve of sl,2s6.525.
and leaves it at s2,066.0O0 against s21. 003,425
and S6,907,l50 August 20, 1886

A Bitter Senatorial Fteht.

DEs MONIES, Ia, Sept. S.-[Speclal to THE
BEE. The senatorial fight in the district
composed of Wright, Hamilton and Hardin
counties, is attracting considerable atten-
tion through the state. The convention that
was to nominate some republican for senator
met at Webster City last week, but after
lively whirl in which everybody became
pretty well excited. adjourned to meet again
October 1. There were at the beginning of
the preliminary contest two candidates for
senator, Mr.. McMurray, of Hamilton
county, and Mr. Ellsworth, of hardin
county. The fight between them was very
bitter and each strove for the vote OF Wright
county, which held the balance of power At
this iuncture Wright thought it had a chance
to run in man of its own, aud then the
others fought for Wright's second choice.
The consequence was reaction when the
convention met, one faction Withdrawing
and holding second convention, and so two
sets of delegates were sent from Wright to
the senatorial convention. That convention
last week was very unruly body and ad-
journment was taken to allow The elements
to cool down, with the hope that by October
1 a better feeling might prevail. There seems
to be no special issue involved in the candl-
dacy of any Of the men, save that each is
ambitious and his friends want him to win,
and the fight has thus grown upon it's own
intensity. Either candidate would make
good senator, so the balance of the state
looks on with complacency, hoping that no
bad blood will remain after the contest is
over. 1t is not improbable that the result
will be finally the nomination of some man
who has not been connected with either of
the factions.

Q. II. Pritchett on the Grade Com
trOyer5y.

"Councilmau McMillan's interview on the
contracts let to ne for grading Twenty fourth
and N Streets" said Contractor G. H.
Pritchett, 'are so garbled, defective and
unfair, that desire you to
let the public know just the
naked facts. l have just looked up the
records to refresh my memory, and here
they are: October 3, 1888, at the meeting of
the city council the approved minutes read .
Motion by Councilman Mcmillan that the
committee on streets and alleys be in
structed to advertise for bids for the
grading Of Twenty-fourth street from
A to Wyman streets Carried Then
the clerks minutes OF the meeting
held October Is, read Committee on streets
and alleys report that they had let the grad
ing of Twenty fourth street TO G. Fl. Pritch
EFT at 1919 cents per cubic yard for excava-
ton, and the unfinished work of Peter
Hanson's contract on N street to c. H.
cavations. Report adopted Now these
facts Alone fully attested by the
records, and approved by the ac-
tion of the council, fix my case
and make the citys liability certain for the
whole 2OO, 600 yards contract at l919 cents.
Then my recollection is that Mr.. Mcmillan
Is the man who moved the adoption of the
report. Why he is squirming round in this
matter and endeavoring to have the city de-
fraud me Out of my claim / can not ex-
lieve he has some sinister motive
But to- show that there was not
doubt about the fairness of my contract
in tue mind Of single member of the coun-
Gil, the following resolution was unanI-
mously passed February 4, 1889: Resolved,
that the city engineer be instructed to fur
nIsh the council with an estimate of the
amount of work done on Twenty-fourth
street by O. II, Pritchett, less the amount
paid by Douglas county; and resolved that
the city pay the amount of the estimate, as
the street is not yet completed, and it
cannot yet be assessed against the property
owners
''ro put the whole matter beyond the
question of a moral or legal doubt, on Febru-
airy 9, 1889, my claim of S3,O90Sl was allowed
and my clam was indorsed us follows; The
within claim is hereby approved and ac-
cepted by the finance committee
and placed on file. Finance com
mittee approved, February 16, 1889 Signed
by John j. O'Rourke and John N.
Burke Mr.. Mcmillan, who was chairman
of the finance committee, was absent but on
his return from Lincoln said he would sign
the committeSs approval of the claim, but as
it had been signed by majority of the com
nittee IT was perfectly legal and just as
good as IL he would sign it,.

Foresters, PICNIC.

The members of Court Eclipse lodge, No.
167, of the Independent Order of Foresters,
and their friends enjoyed an afternoon at
Pickard's park, near West Lawn, yesterday.
Before leaving, the members paraded the
streets, Officer Frank Robbins acting as
marshal and the A. 0. II. band In the van.
Arriving at the Webster street depot the
first detachment left at 1885 p m for the
picnic grounds. The second train left at 9 80
p. N. Pickard's park proved an enjoyable
place. The cottonwood grove was put in
readiness for the occasion with profusion
of seats and tables, liquid refreshm ents were
served in unstinted quantities and the pretty
little dance hall was literally patronized.
Among the other features was game of
baseball in which DIR. Rosewater distingu-
ished himself as a center fielder.
Mr.. Wehrer, of the board OF educatio
was a participant in the festivities, and with
great green badge upon his breast, de-
clared that he was not only a Forester in
name but in fact, as he had been brought up
in the forest Councilmen Lee and O'Con-
nor were also present The festivities lasted

University students Returning

Iowa CRY. Ia, Sept S.-lSpecial to The
BEE. students are arriving every day, and
the state university has begun to wake
up the life of this quiet town. During the
summer vacation several improvements have
been made that will add TO the convenience
of students. This is especially true in the
law department. The room in which the
seniors formerly recited has been remodelled,
and the room devoted to the juniors has been
reseated, so that a larger number than ever
before can be accommodated. The changes
were much needed, for this department of
the university is growing larger every year.
Some changes have been made in the room
where the law library Is placed. There is a
new floor, new ceiling and new shelf ar
rangement. There viii be but little change
in the faculty. Prof. Dunton will be super
seded by Eugene Wanebaugh as resident
professor in the law department. DIR.
Schaffer, president of the university, Is doing
finely and his work meets with very general
approval He is getting the run of things
now pretty well ana every department shows
the result OF having young man of life,
energy and high character at the head of the
school.

In Louisiana Swamp Lands.
HAMMOND, La, Sept. s.--To the Editor OF
THE BEE; We, the Undersigned, are Of the
opinion that II would be both fair and desir-
able TO bring before the people Of Iowa and
adjoining states word Of advice and warn.
ing respecting the methods Of certain
land colony schemes in the new south,
especially in Louisiana and Mississippi,
whose projectors and principals are at this
time especially active, through advertising,
distribution of pamphlets and other me ethods,
in inducing immigration through the me-
dium OF state fairs and other public gather
ings, we wish to state to all interested
who might be induced TO visit this country
that the most Of the represen ntations made in
the interest of several of these colonization
schemes are founded on misrepresentation
and with absolute intent TO defraud
TO the uttermost such as lend ear
to their seductive statements. In every
instance these colonized lands throughout
Louisiana and Mississippi have up to the
date Of their purchase for colonizing schemes
by their projectors, who bought them at
merely nominal prices, been con-
sidered worthless by the natives ana
have for many years remained as commons
and devoted TO general pasturing purposes
Large tracts of worthless LANDS have been
bought up by unscrupulous SPECTATORS at
few cents per acre and listed at 81 TO $50 per
acre. IL will cost an additional sum Of about
$50 per acre TO clear the land of roots and
pine stumps and to fertilize It, A number of
immigrants have already been swindled in
this manner, and 1t is to prevent others from
putting their money into these schemes that
the above Is written.
