The Two Great Financial Problems.

The two questions of primary Importance in
the financial world, of course are these:
l. How can the banking System be continued
after the expiration of the United States bonds
which are held as security for their circulation
and
g How can safe elastic currency be provided
for which shall give the country a greater vol
ume OF money at one time than at another, but
at all times make every dollar as good as a gold
dollar?
Mr.. Michael D. Harter member of Congress
from ONO, who for the last twenty-five years
has been a private banker well as q large
manufacturer, and who, therefore, has studied
these questions from the point of view both of
the borrower and OF the lender, has for many
years been at work upon plan which he now
problems. He would allow the present national
banking system to remain, substituting for
United States bonds, State, Municipal and Rail-.
road bonds OF undoubted character, and he
would so provide the establishment of State
banks alongside of national banks as TO admit
OF the issue of just such volume of currency as
the business of the country requires. Incident
ally this plan would have many advantages
apart from it's main purpose. For instance, it
would exert strong influence upon the man
agement OF Railroad, State, and Municipal debts
to keep their bonds in sufficient standing to be-
come security for currency.
MIR. Harter has contributed full statement of
his plan to the October number of The Forum,
after having submitted it to the criticism OF
large number of the best students of finance in
that will certainly arouse discussion from one
end of the country to the other. and one that its
IrlendS conndentiy expect will sooner or later
be adopted

The Confession of Faith.

| A dispatch from Rochester, New York.
| dated the 25th, gives the following de-
tails of the Rochester Presbytery on the
revision of the Confession of Faith That
the musty old creeds of mans creation
are being literally torn to pieces by men
is an evidence that creeds and forms are
not of Divine origin, but the creatures
OF men, and impregnated with all the
imperfections which attach to human
devisements and formulas. The dispatch
says:
1.-THE Presbytery of Rochester held it's stated
fall meeting at Nunda. n. Y to-day. The mat
ter OF chief interest and Importance that came
up for consideration was the Confession of Faith
as revised by the Committee of the General As
sembly In chapter third, the clause "God hath
changed to ''predestinated a multitude whom
no man can number The last sentence in the
sixth section of the same chapter was struck out
to wit: Neither are any other, redeemed by
Christ. etrectually called, justified. adopted,
sanctifed, and saved, but the elect only
The most remarkable thing done to vote
that the seventh section, chapter g. both in the
original form which dec ares that 1.-The rest OF
mankind God was pleased to pass by and to or
dain to disho or and WRATH and In the revised
form should be omitted altogether and the fol-
crees Of God concerning ali man kind are to be
SO construed as to he in harmony with these
ueclaraJOnS or scripture viz: THAT Christ is
the Precipitation for the sins Of the whole world,
and that God is not willing that any should per-
ish but that all should come to repentance and
live"
The change having been made 1t was decided
to be necessary to strike out the last section of
the chapter which relates to the high mystery
just expunged.
Other changes were made such as the follow
ing In chapter e. section 2, the statement ssde-
Med In all the faculties and parts of soul and
body" was modified. In the third section of the
same chapter the clause 1.-The guilt of this sin
was imputed was dropped because to say 1--WE
all s1nned in ADAM is to say what is utterly IN
intellig1ble and inconceivahle, and the whole
idea Is contrary to natural Justice and to the ex
shall not bear the iniquity of the father" In
chapter the clause promising HIS holy spirit
to all that were ordained unto life'' was changed
to ''all that ask Him" A similar change was
made in chapter TO- section 4, where 1t is said the
mon elect may have some common operations

Plenty of Land Left.

Many people in the Eastern and Middle States
week upon the newly opened lands in the Okla
homa region have been prevented from going
there by the accounts of the tremendous rush of
boomers, ready to seize every quarter section
of the million acres just upon the market.
They need not give up the hope OF yet prOcur-
hroad VEST 81 NsS onlV are there other reserves
in the Indian Territory that viii be opened to
settlement after time, but there are also broad
tracts OF territory further West opened by proc
lamation this year in which there is plenty Of
room for new settlers.
1t was in May last that President Harrison is
sued his proclamation opening the Fort Berth
old Indian reservation In North Dakota, a res
ervation nearly twice as large as the three res
eryations Just opened in Oklahoma. A good
part of this tract was at once taken by actual
settlers, and more Of 1t has been taken within
the past four months, but farming lands there
can still be obtained under the provisions Of the
homestead laws, or bought cheaply from nomi
In April last the Slsseton and Wahpeton res
ervation III South Dakota, comprising 100000
acres Of land, was opened to settlement, and
summer by many OF the settlers who took up
claims.
In the same month a tract of territory in
northern Wisconsin, known as the Omaha Rail
road grant, was opened to homestead settle

to receive filings. There sharp rivalry
among the people who desired to settle upon it.
and many of them had to leave the region with
out getting homestead there.
The forfeited railroad grants in northwestern
Iowa opened Tor enGry at DeS MONIES some
months ago were not extensive and were most
iy taken by settlers VINO had been on them pre-
vious to the forfeiture.
The most Important negotiation of the veal
for the opening of any Indian lands has been in
the State of Washington, and it resulted in the
one-haf, or 100000 acres, Of the CoIville reser
walton in May last. Upon this cession, and upor
the other half of the reservation that will yet bt
coded, thousands of homesteadS will be estab
| lshed. 1t lies in one of the richest and most at
tractive parts OF the State of Washington, ant
The legislation enacted By the last Congress.
In the ratification of treaties with various In
dian tribes, provided for the opening to settle
ment of over 100000 acres of land in the vicin
ity Of Oklahoma and in the Dakotas, Montana
Idaho, and Colorado. When the Cherokee OuU
Southern Utes shall give up their reservation o
1900, 900 acres in Colorado, and when the otAe
! tribes that still hold tens of millions of acre

The Courts Say You Must.

oueudHOOau herald OF Progress,
Development companies are recognized as the
prime factors OF Southern progress. In all OF
their legitimate demands the courts will sustain
them. The recent decisions of Courts of Virginia
show this Conclusively, both State and Federal.
Those who have entered these companies as
stockholders and contracted for shares Of stock
good by meeting promptly their assessments
or else make an assignment of tile same as In
every other business transaction.
Nor will beggarly or beggared manufacturing
enterprises THAT are simply pensioners sustained
by these development companiesl that have
come In by the aid Of these companies and thus
resurrected their broken fortunes be allowed to
join In and become Wreckers of great develop
ment schemes. Quite number of such con-

cutting their plants where originally established

certain conditions, none Of which the iron COM

Glasgow Company ha paid over SIT, 600 Of its

Federal Court for a receiver for the Glasgow

Judge Paul refused to grant the Injunction and

recovered his senses. Miss Speers has been
in this city ever since her lover was COM
