on that had been suspended. Depositors

savings institutions in motion, and the
Masonic deposits began to diminish. One
more tide appeared TO be stemmed

that the crisis was finally past Then
came the Falls City faiIure, and depositors
were again alarmed. The bank was carry

directors took advantage Of the
rule requiring savings dcpositors TO

was found that the bank owed

while it mad secured this amount

THE LEADER OF THE FRENCH
ROYALISTS UNMOVEO
BY opportunities of His Followers to In
tarpose to Change the Pope's Policy
Toward the Kepubiic.

LONDON. Aug S.-A difference Of leaders
OF the OrleluiSt party was held al Shlen
house, the residence in England of the
Count of Paris. The conference added en-
phaSiS tn What has been known for some
time past TO the Observers Of political
movements in France, and Of iutrisurs in
other countries looking TO the establish
meut OF 4 monarchy with the Count Of
Paris n its head. that there Is
increasing discomfort among the counts al
hercutS. This feeling is due TO the refusal
of the Count of Paris TO adopt policy char
az cried BY greater activity than the one
now followed by him. His adhsrents be
lieve that the movement of whicn Cardinal
Lavigere is leader, looking 10 an
alliance between the Republic Of France
and the Vatican, Is assuming proportions
that threaten the success OF the Or-cauist
plans and they urge the Count Of Paris TO
adop. 4 policy that will cCunteract the
effect Of LayiCere's mOvumentsupon their
schemes. One OF the influential supporters
of the MOuarchist movement, VI. DeBOur-
don, 4 member Of the chamber of deputies
attended the conference II Sheen house
ana during the deliberations he urged unat
the Count of Paris should visit Rome and
make a personal appeal to ,Le pope in
support of his clam, or al least To secure
from his holiness q promise That lie would
withdraw his consent TO the policy &Gvo-
Gated by Cardinal Layigere.
The Count of Paris after listening 10 the
arguments advanced BY NJ DcBOUrdoa,
which We're intended Ia show the benefits
Re believed would result TO the party should
the count accept his suggestions declined
to accept the proposal
Mr. DeBourdon also urged the count to
issue a manifesto. calling upon the clergy
TO rally around the standard of the Orleau-
ISIS, but the count declined 70 enter
tain this proposition, declaring that
he would leave that 10 the Orleali-
ist bishops. The count held that time

l. n '
OF all the various classes OF men
that live, move and have their being on
this mundane sphere, none are 50
easily victimized as farmers. They
fall readily into the traps spread for
them. not only by the shrewd and de-
signing OF other classes, bat Of their
own as well. Perhaps they are more
easily and successfully duped by the
unscrupuious Of their own class than
by those OF any other. We have seen
how that works here in Texas, where
thousands of dollars We're tlched from
the cOntiding farmer by commercial
exchanges and the like institutions in
which the farmers exchanged their
haSi-earueG dollars for nothing in
wholesale packages. Friends and de-
tenders Of the farmers operated the
exchange. which somehow only lasted
loug enough to put the manager or the
high road to political prominence and
the enjoyment of the luxuries OF high
life. including free passes on railroads
What is true Of Texas Is true 10 4
greater or less extent of all the states
IN which the Changers fell in with the
ideas OF reform in mercantile affairs
put into practice by men who in nine
cases out of ten knew next to nothing
of business principles. The credulity
Of the farmers in following their lead
ers into the most questionable commer-
ciaI ventures cost them many dollar,
but it Is doubtful if it brought them the
share of caution and wisdom Of which
they stood in need.
y story comes from Mortified, Mimi,
that illustrates anew the old, old story.
1t appears that the leaders Of the ALI
anee there procured an agreement by
which they were to become purchasers
for the farmers OF reaping machines
and binding twine, which they claimed
could be had in that way at prices con
siderably reduced. The farmers put
the matter in the hands OF q trusted
committee who contracted for large
quantities Of binding Irvine at d reduced
price. When delivered the farmers
soon found that they had been taken in
and done for, as the Irvine was cheap
sisal. colored at the order Of the pur-
chasing committee toresemble manila,
the twine generally used in binding
wheat The substitution Of the snide
for the genuine article put several
thousand dollars in the pockets OF the
rascally committee, and the farmers
must stand the outrage.
4 deal somewhat similar in character
appears to have been made by which an
Alliance leader OF this state and mana
ger OF an exchange" not a thousand
miles from this city, secured the sub
agency in the state for the Alliance
sewing machine. Previously the ma
chine was sold to the brethren for SO.
But when the sub-treasury patriot
aliuded to got the sub-agency, he
popped the price up to $3.50 although
he got the machines from the manu-
facturer at the old price or even less
one, as the Alliance OF Harris county
states publicly. This exchange mana
ger, who it seems is looking out faith
fully for number one, wanted three
months ago to be appointed railroad

abused because he would not |
appoint him. Men OF his kidney would |
make dandy commissioners. wouldn't |
they?

The Result

Special 10 tho Gazette
HEMPsTEAD. TEx., Aug. s-The melon
season, or rather the shipping of melons
from this point for this season, is over. and
1t can be summed up about as follows:
There have been shipped about 115 car
loads: the shippers have realized in the
neighborhood Of $4,000; the rail
way companies have collected about
81, coo in freight money on the $4,000
worth OF melOns-the farmer has the ex-
perience. as usual. A good many farmers
are fattening their hogs on what melons
they have left; others are making molasses
out Of them, and it is said the melon Juice
properly boiled and prepared makes
molasses far superior to cane syrup.
