That collapse in the United
States Treasury which was billed
by our democratic friends to take
place about this time has not
materalized, and what is more il
will not. No nation on earth is to-
day as solid financially as the
United States, and it is the repabli-
can party which has made it SO, and
which will keep it SO As long as il
remains in power.

son, to admit Mathew 4. Trumbour To bail
and for reduction Of hail in the case Of
James E. Ostrander who are confined in
jail here on several indictments charging
them with embezzling the funds Of the Ul-
ster County Savings institution. Little
rhange was noted in the appearance OF tlio
prisoners. Their wives sat beside them dur
ing the entire proceedings. A sensational
episode occurred when the Judge announced
that the sureties of Trumpbour were not
sufficient. His bride Of but few months
gave way to her anguish in bitter tears,
and, rising 70 ber feet, implored the judge
IN pitiful tones to be morciful and release
her husband The prisoner was very much
affected by this act Of devotion
Among the surities accepted were three
sisters and brother-in-law Of Trumpbour.
Objection was made TO Mrs Martha g.
Iravers, the mother-in-law Of the prisoner,
who wished 70 qualify in the sum Of $1,000,
The judge asked that some one else be OBJ
tanned TO 60 on the bond for the additional
5000 necessary in place OF Mrs Travers.
This not being forthcoming the prisoner
was returned to Jail. Counselor Westbrook
then made application To reduce Ostrander's
bail from $4,000 10 $4,000 Judge Ed
wards ordered that this matter should be
taken before some county judge and dis
