severe in his accommodation of
State Senator Gibbs, of Georgia,
who has been recently denouncing
the Negro. SIN stating that the
Negro IS vagabond'', he said,
"Senator Gibbs is liar and my
address is the Land Office" He
also said that if the Southern peo~
pie did not discontinue their high.

pie would rise up in their might
and strike the blow for their Sec

that If the Government did not
protect him better than in the
past he would stay at home and
look after his wife and babies rath-

Canada Alarmed.

OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. 25-The Journal,
which supports the government of Sir
John Macdonald, says: 1T looks as
though there will be a large Mormon In
migration into the Canadian Northwest
unless checked by hostile legislation. The
colony near Mcleod has prospered and it
has been visited by delegates sent from
Salt Lake City to report and arrange for
emigration to British territory and there
is but little doubt that the result will be a
rapid growth of the Mormon settlement
within the prairie territories of the Do
minion. Unless.th threatened mischief
is nipped in the bud Canada is destined
at no very distant period to witness within
her borders a repetition of the horrors the
United States have had to contend with
in Utah. The press and public men OF
Canada may as well make up their minds
before the next session of parliament upon
what terms Mormon immigration into
this country will be allowed, il at ALL"
The Dominion government have detec-
tives about the Mormon colony near Lees
creek investigating the marital relations
of a few suspected persons and are keep
ing in close surveillance a number of recent
arrivals.

The Seat of Pain ana Pleasure,

The nervous system, often suffers dimInu-
ton of vigor, and causes mental annoy
ance, and even positive disturbance, with
out disease in the sensorium itself. 1t
acts as q mere reflector, in many cases, of
inaction in the stomach, and consequently
of incomplete assimilation OF the food by
the blood. This of course weakens it, in
common with the rest of the tissues, and
renders it less able to bear without suffer
ing an ordinary strain that would make no
impression upon strong nerves. To sup
ply a deficit of strength, and render a su-
persensitiveness in the nerves incident to
a lack Of vigor, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers is far better adapted than any mere
nervine or simple tonic, since the offspring
of its use, complete digestion, is the Wig
orous and early parent of nerve force and
quietude. Malarial attacks, rheumatism,
bowel, liver and kidney complaints sue
cumb to the Bitters.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-When the Cronin
case was called this morning Milkman
Mertes, who had testified for the prosecu
ton, was called by the defense. He
went over his testimony again and also
testified as to a conversation with two
policemen a day or SO after the body was
discovered. Witness told the officers
that he saw a bay horse with a white face
stop in front of the Carlson cottage and
saw a tall man get out and go into the
cottage. He admitted that he told
the officers hat he did not know what
day it was that he saw the horse and
buggy drive up. j. W. Fralick en-
ployed the defendant Kunze from April
&c until June 90, the day of his arrest.
He said Kunze worked as usual May 4.
The testimony of several witnesses was
then taken to contradict the evidence
given by Carlson to the effect that at a
certain time on March 10 he heard Burke
tell O'Sullivan that he had rented a cot
tage. The testimony was to the effect
that O'Sulliyan was several miles from
Lakeview at the time mentioned.
After some futber minor evidence the
defense rested and the prosecution be-
gan its rebuttal. DR.. Curran was called
and asked if he had heard James Lyman,
one of the witnesses for the defense, say
that Cronin's death was ordered by the
Clan ma Gael executive. The defense
objected and pending the recess court re
served its decision.
In the afternoon session the court de-
cided in favor OF the defense the question
as to the admissability OF rebuttal testi-
mony to which objection had been made.
After a little more unimportant rebuttal
evidence the court adjourned until to
morrow.

About National Banks.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The forth
coming report of Comptroller of. the Cur
rency Lacey covers the year ended Oct.
81, 1889, at which time there were In ex-
istence 1919 national banks, the largest
number since the Inauguration of the sys-
tenn. These associations possess an ag-
gregate capital of $500, ia. 1866. The last
reports of their condition exhibit their re-
sources and liabilities to the Both of Sep
TENDER. The number reporting at that
time was 1920. A summary of these re-
ports shows a capital OF 1912. 5S4, 095; sur
plus. $197, 1874, 761; undivided profits,
$84. set, seq; gross deposits. including
amounts due banks, 81, $50. 935, 100; loans
and discounts 81. sos, 729, 739.
The amount OF circulation outstanding
is 5000, 662. 1872, of which $l3l, 383, 1874
was secured by United States bonds, and
the remainder, $72, 279, 1896, was repre-
sented by deposits of lawful money in the
treasury.
These banks held 1874, 927, 900 in
United States bonds (of which STAG, AL
700 was to secure circulation notes),
1854. 326, 449 of specie. and $50, 1852, O93
OF legal tender notes.
Within the year 2l1 banks were or.
gained, having an aggregate capital of
81, 240, 600. Thirty-six OF the new banks
were organized in Texas, the largest
number in any one state. Within the
year %torty-one banks went into voluntary
liquidatinn and only two failed, leaving a
net addition to the system of les as
against ninety last year. and l23 as the
annual average increase since the inaug-
uration of the system.
Notwithstanding this increase, says the
comptroller, the system has not kept pace
with the needs of the people tor increased
banking facilities. The growing tendency
to INCORPORATE under the statutes OF the
several states is not attributable to any
change in the law effecting either national
or state institutions, bat is charged d.
rectly to the fact, says the comptroller,
that no profit results to banks by reason
of a deposit of bonds and an issue of cir
culatlaR notes.
1t is claimed. in fact, he says. that an
actual loss results in many Western states
and territories where interest is highest
and banking facilities most needed. 1t is
deemed certain by the comptroller that
the withdrawal of bonds held in excess of
the minimum requirements, will continue
SO long as the present condition exists
and that legislation is necessary to pre-
vent the contraction of the volume of ma
tional bank currency.
The comptroller makes a number of
recommendations for amendments to the
law governing national banks. Among
other things a reduction of duty on circu
lation is commended on the ground that
the present tax is unjust to banks because
imposed on account OF a privilege now
valueless, and the revenues of the govern
ment are in excess of the requirements.
The burden of enforced deposits is felt
most severely where the current rate of
interest is higher and banks organize
with the smallest capital.

An Important RaiIroad Change.

New York, Nov. 25.-It was stated
tonight that the directors of the Denver
& Rio Grande held a meeting to day at
which an important decision was made
effecting tarnscontinental traffic. 1t was
voted, it is said. to make a standard
guage of their road from Canyon City to
Grand Junction, to which point the Rio
Grande Western is about completed to
connection with the Denver & Rio Grande
system. This movement will give the
Missouri Pacific and the Chicago, Burl-
ington & Quincy roads a direct route
over less grades and a shorter distance
than any other route to San Francisco.
The amount that must be expended to
complete the arrangements is from
Sc. 900, 900 to IS. 200, 900, and was voted
at to days meeting.

An Asylum Burned.

BLAcKFooT, Idaho, Nov. 25.-The
main building of the territorial insane
asylum burned at an early hour Sunday
morning. Two men are known to have
persisted and two women and three men
are missing. Possibly they escaped from
the town in the confusion, but it is feared
they were caught in the fire. The flames
originated in the kitchen and the building
burned down within an hour. Great ex
element prevailed among the inmates and
the superintendent and keepers had great
trouble mastering them. All records
were destroyed, but the new addition to
the building was saved. Loss, $50, 900.
