AN INFALLIBLE DEDUCTION.

at was stated yesterday that Governor
elect Pattlson would resign the Presidency
of the Chestnut street National Bank as
soon as he entered upon his official duties at
Harrisburg" said the Philadelphia North
american, which a couple of weeks ago
stated that he would retain the Presidency,
That journal goes on to let itself down rather
easily by saying that it was Gov Pattison's
original intention to retain the bank presi-
dency, but that he changed his mind.
Of course, he will resign the bank presi-
dency. The DISPATCH knew that he
would all along. 1t said when he was NOM
mated that if he was elected he would do SO.
1t repeated after the election its conviction
that the reports that he would retain the
bank presidency while he was Governor, were
as asmoonshine. 1t did so without any informa-
tion:from the Governor-elect, but simply on
his record as public man and his character
as politician. The same knowledge en-
ables US to say that he never contemplated
remaining as the president of State de-
pository while Governor.
Governor Pattison is not fool He did
not go through the campaign without max
ing mistake in order to stultify himself
by denying through his own action the
correct constitutional principle announced
on the stump during the campaign, in his

DEATH OF EMMA ABBOTT.
The Well Known Prima Donna Was Con-

The Well Known Prima Donna Was Con-
scious to the End.
SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 5.-Emma Abbott.
the great American prima donna, died at TAO
this morning of pneumonia. She was taken ill
on Wednesday night, but persisted in going on
the stage and singing her part in "Ernani,"
Notwithstanding her physicians advised her
not to. On New Years Day she was taken
alarmingly i'll, and a conference of physicians
was ordered. From that time she has grown
worse until this morning, when she died.
The scene at the death bed was a pathetic
one. The great singer was conscious almost
to the last moment, despite the fact that opiates
had been administered. Her last words on
earth were: Il am not afraid to die.". There
was present at the bedside Alice Ellerton, Miss
Nellie Franklin, Miss Vernon, Mr.. Pruette. her
manager, Mr.. and Mrs. Michelena. Miss An
nandaie, of the company; Manager Pratt and
wife, of the hotel, and DIR. Pinkerton. The
body was embalmed and enclosed in q hand.

Miss Abbott confidently expected to die, and
told her physician New Years Day that her
next song would be sung in Heaven.
Since that date she has failed rapidly, and al
though her manager has telegraphed all over
the country that she was going to get well, she
never wavered in her belief of ultimate dea H.
Two weeks ago she telegraphed the Albany
band died. A singular coincidence connected
with the affair is that she died on the anniver-
sary of her husbands death. A short burial
service was held this afternoon at the hotel by
Rev, DR.. McNiece, of the Presbyterian Church.
The body left for the East lilo o'clock tonight.

READY FOR BUSINESS TO-DAY,

To-day the Legislature will organize in
both branches and be ready for business.
The real organization, of course, was effected
in the caueuses last evening and the election
of officers and employees in open session to-
day will be G mere formality. In the con-
test for the speakership of the House, The
DIsPATCH's prediction was verified. Mr..
Brooks apparent strength was his real
weakness, as it led to combination of the
opposition to him. The real business Of the
session will hardly begin for week or two.
At least such is the custom. There are
signs, however, that when the real business
is begun there will be some lively times
about the Capitol. A good many important
measures are ready for introduction. Some
of them have been heralded in advance, but
there are rumors OF others which may create
some sensation when introduced.

that government bonds are as high as ever
they were, except when they were artifici-
ally elevated by the Treasury purchases.
These things certainly do not indicate that
the confidence in stable investments or in
government credit has at all been disturbed
by the silver agitation.
The fact is that the lack of confidence is
largely justified by certain recent events in
financial circles, although it inevitably crops
out in some places where there is no reason
for it The great financiers who have started
panic by tying up money in order to carry
on their stock manipulations; who have
demonstrated the ease with which the money
kings can juggle the ordinary investors out
of their stock Investments, and the lesser
spectators and investors who have gutted
banks and wrecked trust companies, are the
people who are principally responsible for
the lack of confidence. While such things
are possible it is not strange that people
should prefer other investments, or'if they
cannot be found, resort to boarding.

THE LACK OF CONFIDENCE.

The Atlanta Constitution has interviewed
a banker OF that city, who tells that man
recently came to his bank, threw down a
bill demanding gold for it, and when he re-
ceived the gold said he was going to lay it
away SO that he could not be caught in an
emergency. The banker went on to SUD-
pose that there were 5000 men in that dis
trict who were boarding 500 each, and as
many in each of the tendistriots of the State.
That would make 81, ,0Oo, 900 withdrawn from
actual circulation, and to that extent embar-
RAISING the money market.
There is no doubt such a course would be
very foolish and embarrassing. But as the
Georgia bankers calculation of 500, 900 men
in that State doing SO would comprise the
majority of the adult male population of the
State, we may reasonably hope that Georgia
does not contain so many fools. To the ex-
tent to which boarding goes on, however, is
to be recognized as injurious, and especially
so to the people who hoard. The loss to the
public by raising the interest rate is not
greater than the loss of all interest to the
hoarder. We may, therefore, steadfastly
rely on the expectation that whatever
boarding may have been created by stupid
panic, it will soon correct ITSELF
This illustration is referred to the Buffalo
Express as showing that the trouble is not
SO much lack of money as lack of confidence,
and that journal then proceeds to charge
the lack of confidence to the silver agitation.
The first assertion is measurably true. There
is lack of confidence in some departments

mortgages find ready purchasers; and the

stirring story told by Whale Oil Gus of his

APnsSIBIE IEIuNaCY.

In connection with the report that the ad-
ministration is fitting out a number of
revenue cutters to seize the vessels killing
seals in the open waters of Bering Sea comes
the other report that Lord Salisbury has
warned the State Department that Great
Britain will not permit the Canadian sealers
to oe seized unless they are infringing on the
actual territories of the United States. Thus
it appears that the administration has
drifted to the very verge of hostilities, for
which the country is unprepared, in support
of an object which is not worth days war
fare, and in pursuit of policy one part of
which at least is manifestly untounded in
reason.
1t will be criminal folly to get into war
with England over the sealing privileges
which yield to the nation less in year than
a single days cost of warfare with England.
1t would be so, because a naval conflict
could not but be disastrous to our country,
because the people would not support such
a war, and because our Governments
course indicates an adhesion to that absurd
mare clausunl theory which even the sup
porters of the administration declare to be
untenable.
If the administration is at all wise it will
at once proceed to discard from its position
all untenable and unreasonable claims and
offer an arbitration on the just part of its
contention. England's interest agrees with
ours in an equitable arrangement for the
protection of the seals from extinction, and
if she did not grant it voluntarily she could
not refuse an arbitration. But twholly apart
from the practicability of settling this dis
pute, it should be understood that to let the
matter drift into overt acts of hostility
would be the last degree of political lunacy.
