=. Ingram, President OF the Bank OF
Columbia, and Mr.. Lucius FriersOn,
Cashier of the Columbia Banking
Company, when the creditors OF the
two banks met and asked that these
two gentlemen be made trustees for
their respective banks. Both of these
gentlemen have long held the conf
dence and esteem of the community
and the action taken by the creditors
shows this confidence has not been
shaken by the misfortune which has
overtaken them. 1t shows also that
the people of that community are not
ratified or panicked by the failure,
hut have the pluck and spirit neces-
sary to meet the eXigencies OF the
situation. The evil effect of failure
il reduced to a minimum when the
people meet it with a bold front.

bers of the late ministry will go before
the people in the hope of reelection.
While Sir Henry Parkes, the ex-premier,
does not intend to retire from political
life, il is unlikely that he will assume
the leadership of the opposition as he
feels the necessity for a period of com
parative rest.
The new premier, Mr.. Dibbs, deliver
ed an addl esS at Melbourne in which he
declared that the enormous resources OF
the colony were absolute security fNr
larger loans than the government had
hitherto attempted to negotiate. Hence
forth, the premier said, the proceeds of
loans would be applied to the construc-
ton of permanent public works. An
immediate resort would be had to the
customs duties for the bulk of the rev
enue. The premier contended that the
carrying into practice of the theory OF
protection would result in the establish
ment of new industries and the increase
of the demand for labor.
