THE DELAMATER FAILURE.

About $50, ,O0e Said to Have Been Bor-
rowed just Before the Crash Came.
MEADvILLE, Pa, Dec S-No statement
of the Delamater failure will be issued for
several days, but it is certain that about
one-half the Inhabitants of this city are
depositors. AS far as can be learned the
liabilities of the firm will aggregate $780,
900 or more. It is thought the deposits
will not amount to one-half this sum, but
Mr.. Delamater has a good deal of paper
floating about, and in the last week he had
succeeded In putting out about $50. 900, If
not more. Two days before the failure
about 81, 900 was borrowed by the firm in
Philadelphia, and 1t is stated that a round
sum was obtained in Pittsburg on the
yame day.

Al 600. 600 Was at Stake.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 10-A special dis
patch from a staff correspondent of The
Times, who left this city in company with
State Treasurer Boyer for Meadville, says:
"State Treasurer Boyer arrived here yester-
day from Philadelphia and at once won't
to the Office of Senator Delamater's at
torney, where he found the senator Mr..
Boyer informed him that he had come for
the purpose Of learning the exact situation
Of the affairs at the bank. That's just
what we are trying to find out, said Mr..
Delamater. I can't say just when clear
and concise statement can be made ready,
bat am anxious to have 1t as early as
possible"
The interview lasted but two minutes,
and no one would have thought that 81, 600,
BOO of state funds was at stake, 30 brief and
Informal was It.
After the departure of the state treasurer
Senator Delamater said regarding the
cause of the failure:
.'Some time prior to the election my po-
Ilitical enemies started the STORY that our
bank was weak. The run continued for
ten days after the election, and we were
just bridging over our troubles when the
crash came
'The real cause Of the difficulty lies with
me. had early In the campaign to put
up 900 with two other men in order to
keep the Philadelphia Finance company
In condition after the fight Of Senator Mac
Earlane. In addition to that had to pay
over 10000 Of notes which / had indorsed
for Mach Farlane, and they fell due Just be-
tore the election. / was also forced to
raise large sums of money to meet the de-
mands on the bank from people who were
withdrawing their deposits. Iwant to say
70 you that did not know of the failure
until arrived here last Friday morning
from Philadelphia."
! While the senator did not tell Of other
reasons for the failure it is known that the
state treasurer, for weeks prior to the
banks downfall, had made repeated re-
quests for first class security for the $780,
NO, 900 which the Delamaters had in their
bank. The senator had made repeated en-
zagements to meet the state treasurer and
arrange the entire matter in q satisfactory
way, but upon some pretext he always
Jailed to make his engagements good. 1t
is stated that two more prominent Phila-
lelphians are out $4,000 each by the fail
ire of Senator Delamater, who managed
20 borrow the money just prior to the fail
IRE.

Mr. Parnell does not believe that the
Irish party can now be reunited. The re-
turn of O'Brien and Dillon would not mend
matters.
II was at all times willing to compro-
mise, as my acceptance of Mr.. Clancy's
amendment proves, an acceptance which
would have involved my retirement had
Mr.. Gladstone given the assurance the Irish
party required, but these assurances were
not given, and my persecution by our party
was still persisted in. Messrs. Dillon and
O'Brien took sides against me from the
first and so lost the opportunity of u sue
cessful Intervention. Their Intervention
would now be too late"

An. Interview with Parnell.


NEW YORK, Dec 10.-The World pub
fishes an interview with Mr.. Parnell, in
which he critises Gladstone for his hardness
in taking action after the verdict of the
divorce court. He says he did not know of
Gladstone's letter. to Morley until after his
reelection. Five days before the verdict
he had seen Morley, who apparently knew
what the result would be, but Morley asked
him no questions. Mr.. Parnell said that
he had all along determined to do nothing
in the divorce proceedings, for the reason
that he thought defense was solely the
province of Mrs. O'Shea. He was willing to
60 into the witness box, but when she con-
cluded to make no defense he could not
take any action.
The Duty of Irish-Americans.
He denied that he had ever authorized
Michael Davitt OF any one else TO say that
he would clear away the charges at the
trial.
'sWhat do you consider is the duty Of
Irishmen in Ameriea in this cBisis?" MIR.
Parnell was asked.
II consider" said Mr.. Parnell earnestly,
''that it is the duty of Irishmen IN America
at this crisis to assist me in maintaining
the integrity and Independence of the
Irish party. That integrity could not and
would not have been impaired by any mere
alliance with the Liberal party, but mat
ters for some months past have progressed
further than mere alliance.
Something approaching to a fusion has
been and is now taking place. This Is
what it is necessary for me to check and
prevent"
A Charge Answered.
what have you to say about the charge
that you did your colleagues an injustice
in concealing Mr.. Gladstone's converse
tions about home rule2"
'It was impossible" replied MIR. Parnell,
''for me to disclose by public speech or by
private explanation the setback which the
Hawarden communications had given to
the cause of home rule, and the perplexity
with which they had filled my mind. The
matter was still not definitely settled.
Until all hope had been removed of ar
irving at satisfactory understanding upon
these important subjects with Mr.. Glad
stone it would have been highly improper
for me in any way to have referred publicly
to the matter" aaaR

More About the Sugar Tax.

The consideration of the sugar
tax. which the TELEGRAPH-COURIER
called attention to last week, may be
brought nearer home. Probably
most readers, if not all, understand
that the amount Of revenue derived
from the sugar duty is not arrived at
by mere guessing, but is as exact in
amount as anv tax collected for state
or national purposes. The close Of
the fiscal year gives the total collec
lions from the sugar tax averages
not less than S56,ooo,o 900. 1t may
be interesting for the consumers of
sugar in Kenosha city and county to
have an intelligent opinion mot off
ciaN of the amount of sugar annual
" sold in this city for home use. A
member Of long established and
respectable firm that deals in sugar
not as a speciality, but with other
grocery articles, has at our request
furnished an estimate of the number
of pounds of sugar sold annually in
this CITY. This merchant knows how
many pounds are sold at his place Of
business per year; he also knows
how many stores in the city deal in
sugar, and is in a situation to Judge
with tolerable degree of correct
ness of the amount of trade of each
in the sugar line: He gives it as his
Judgment that 400, 900 pounds OF
sugar are sold annually in this city,
which is probably consumed in this
city and county. The amount of
tax on sugar is according to quality,
none less than cents per pound,
much of it considerably more. A
tax of cents on 100000 amounts
to $1,000: a tax of p cents, which is
probably nearer the average, is
So, 900. How much longer the
sugar consumers will submit to pay
such an unreasonable revenue, which
the government does not want, for il
is perplexed how to dispose of its
present surplus, remains 10 be seen.

School Reading Books.

There has been progress and i'm
provement in every department of
education during past generations
There are, however, some branches
of intellectual culture which have for
ages remained without material
change, having reached the limit of
human possibilities. The ability of
expressing ideas on paper in good
taste, choice words and in properly
arranged sentences, is an art which
has been understood at different Pc
RODS of the worlds history. None
of our modern writer's can surpass in
beauty of style and force Of language
the writer's of a century and more
ago. Words the same employed by
the forefathers, cannot now be more
eIoqucntly used than in the times of
Webster and Clay, or the most emil
nent divine in times long gone by.
What is here said is suggested on
seeing a statement favoring an i'm
proved class of reading books for
the older scholars in the public
schools. OF the quality of reading
books now used in the schools, moth
ing much in favor of them can be
said when compared with the books
used in the schools over half cen
fury ago. Without particularly no
ticing the character of books once in
the schools, only one book will be
mentioned. The book known as the
"English Reader" was without ques-
ton the most interesting and in
structive collection of reading matter
ever placed in the schools. Its Sc
lections of prose and poetry are from
standard authors, comprehending the
best known English writer's. Quo
tations are more often made from
these authors than any others, and it
is a desirable accomplishment for any
young man or woman to be familiar
with them. The English Reader has
gone out of print and is no longer to
be had except at the second hand
book stores where old, rare books
are bought and re-sold. The drop
ping of the English Reader from the
schools, book of such a high order
of composition and literary merit,
was a sacrifice and a concession to
questionable influences.

Criticisms on the Bennett Law

A communication was published
in the TELEGRAPH-COURIER last
week, furnished by respectable gen
tleman of. this city, who signs him
self "A Lutheran" The writer com
plains that the parochial schools are
assailed by the so called Bennett
Law" He says the Lutherans are
friends of the public schools, and
have no desire to injure them, but to
sustain them; this is gratifying to
hear. The writer reminds us that
our statements of Lutheran inten-
tions in respect to the public schools
ale unjust. To which it may be an
swered, that there is want Of uni
formity in the attacks of the Luther
an press on the Bennett law; there
fore our answers have not been ap
plicable to all classes of Lutheran
directors. To the main charge by
lutheran" that the Bennett law is
intended to cripple the parochial
schools, we fail to see his reasons
therefor One important fact in this
controversy is not kept in sight. Our
system of public free schools was or
ganizcd over forty years ago; it had
from the beginning but one object,
which was to carry into effect free
school system in English, provided
for by the state constitution, which
had been adopted. Our public
school system was never intended to
provide for or take The care and ST.
pervsion of parish, parOchial or 9th
er schools of learning; its primary
aim is first, to furnish every child and
youth in the state with the study of
English a given number of weeks;
that being done, the learner may
study what language is most desira-
bic The state public school is ex-
pected to exercise the right Of using
such means as will best secure the
end for which it is established If
the public school in any town inn
pairs the patronage OF parochial
school, it cannot justly be criticised,
provided no unfair means are en-
ployed. The objection which
Lutheran" makes TO the Bennett
law seems to rest on the assumption
that the public school should not ex-
ercise the right to use the most ef-
fectual measures to secure the Eng
lish education Of proper proper
ton Of those of school age in this
state; this was one of the original
purposes in the adoption of the state
free school system.

New YoRK, Jan. S0.-The debate Of
the New York Presbytery on the pro.
posed revision OF the Westminster con.
fession was continued to-day. It was
opened by the Rev. DR.. Scautller
who said the question was not one Of

young men in this school taught, but
the question to his mind was, does the
confession Of faith come closer the word
Of God. He wanted q revision.
Rev. Walter D. Buchanan spoke in
opposition to the committee report. He
favors some slight amendments. and
spoke at length on the use Of the con.
tession and Of it's advantages in his work
as a missionary in Florida, and he never
found it stumbling block. He was on.
posed to the new confession. r.
The Rev. A. P. Atbury said in a plea
for revision: I have got confidence in
the committee. and the report they have
made. I am fully in favor OF it. ll,!. r.
Rev. A. W. Sproul, who said he had
preachedt thedoctrines Of the love OF God,
told Of the effect Of the teaching in the
mission work and spoke Of the confession
as being the word Of God. %,si%
Rev. DR.. Melvin pleaded for a new
creed that was good for children as well
as older ones. After much discussion
1t was decided to call d session for to.
