PRESIDENT HARRISON is making a
trip through the country that is more
extended than any before undertaken
by the Chief Executive. His route has
taken him through Virginia, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama. Arkan-
sas and Texas, and he will visit Califor-
mia, Oregon and Washington. At every
point in the expanding and developing
South he has been received with over
whelming cordiality. His welcome will
crafty every patriot. 1t shows that in
the tremendous internal progress that
has blessed that section during the last
few years, its closer union with the
North and West by great railroads, and
its infusion of Northern energy and
Northern capital, the bitterness of Sec
tionalism is fast disappearing.
In marked contrast with the address
es of Grover Cleveland's politico-ency-
clopediac tour of the South, are the
short, happy and instructive speeches of
the President. He has proved that he
knows thoroughly the country through
which he is travelling, appreciates its
warm greeting and rejoices at its pros
perity.

LITTLEJUDITH, the 8-year- r-Old daughter
of Mr.. Mullineaux, of the Inland Chris
tian AdUOcate, Des MOines, Iowa, on
learning that her especial playmate,
child of her own age, had taken the wh0op-
ing cough, took bottle of medicine,
which had cured her of troublesome
cough, and went over and said: "Y ou
must take this medicine; it will do you
good" Mr. Mullineaux was curious as
to the result and on making inquiry learn
ed that the little neighbor, who had been
unable to rest at night, had been greatly
relieved in that respect; the paroxysms
were neither so frequent, severe or endur-
ing; the cough, under the genial action
of this admirable remedy, was loosened.
The medicine liquifies the mucus and en-
ables the sufferer to throw 1t Oft; the at
tack in the beginning gave every evidence
of being a severe attack of whooping
cough; indeed it was genuine case; but
this preparation, while perhaps 1t may
not be a positive cure for the disease, is
undoubtedly able to alleviate 1t; If 1t does
not cure it, 1t will give unquestioned re-
lief: the medicine referred to is Cham-
berlain's Cough Remedy. For sale at

THE name of Marquis Rudini, Minis
ter of Italy, has become familiar to citi-
zens of this county by the inglorious
fzzle of his efforts to bulldoze our gov
ernment. By his exhaustive reply to
the Italians demands, Secretary Blaine
has left him not diplomatic leg to
stand on. This reply has won for, our
great Secretary general applause in this
country from both parties, and proved
that in the ticklish ground of diplomacy
he has no superior. AS long as James
G. Blaine is its Prime Minister, the
the proud position of this country as a
nation among the worlds powers will
be maintained.

AS PREDICTED by the Republican
press of this State, notably the Cleve-
land Leader, the so-called Commercial
Congress held at Kansas City last week
turned out to be a pure fraud. The
congress was packed in the interest OF
the Democracy. 1t was an unblushing
attempt on the part of the Democracy
to capture the Farmers Alliance. In
the committee on resolutions the Demo
Gratis crowded their party platform down
the throats of the minority, and the re-
port of this committee recommending
the free coinage of silver and tariff for
revenue only was adopted. The action
of the non partisan members of the
congress in stoutly protesting, and final
ly Withdrawing, is commendable, but it
is to be regretted that from the calling
of the congress, the result was not more
generally foreseen. 1t is fortunate,
however, that the whole affair has been
thoroughly exposed for the humbug it
was. 1t will be able to exert no inf1u-
ence.

THE Democrats will undoubtedly
make death struggle in Ohio this fall
to retain the Legislature. 1t will be of
vital Importance to them to do so.
They have declared that they will fight
the Presidential battle here, and backed
by Brice's Doodle, they will undoubtedly
try that game. They can not beat
Mckinley, but while pretending to at
tempt that, they will try to make still
hunt on the Legislature. Such being
true it behooves the Republicans to look
early and well for legislative candidates.
They need to be men fettered by no
entangling alliances, good men who will
receive the support of the entire party,
men who have the qualities from which
statesmen are made. No mistake dare
be made. The interests are too vital to
Republicanism.

A STATEMENT OF THE SITUATION

A STATEMENT OF THE STU ALTON.
To the Editors of the Belmont Chronicle:
Now and then reports are put in circu-
lation of heavy losses. made by this or
that Bank, and these reports have tend
ancy to excite in the mind of the average
bank depositor feeling of uneasiness, if
not panic.
A brief and comprehensive statement
of facts regarding the condition of the
National Banks of Belmont county, bear
ing especially on their security to depos-
itors, would certainly be of interest to
your readers, and in great measure, tend
to allay the fears excited by any such
mischievOuS reports.
The following statements are based
upon extracts from the last report of the
Comptroller of the Currency. Substan-
TALLY the same relative condition of
things has existed for long time past,
and will, no doubt, continue to exist for
long time to come. At any rate there is
such wide margin between the deposi-
tors present absolute security and any
alarming condition of things, that many
extensive and radical changes would
have to occur before there could be any
danger to the depositor whatever
Taking only the resources and assets of
| ally impaired, namely: the additional IL
ability of shareholders, the money on
| hands, the money on deposit with other
banks, the Government bonds in excess
of circulation. and the premium on Gov
eminent bonds; the ability of our banks
to pay their respective depositors can
thus be stated:
The First National Bank of st. Clairs-
vile could lose all the money it has loan
ed and invested in other securities
(S221 600, and then easily pay every dol
lar of its deposits.
The same can also be said of the First
National Bank of Bridgeport, with its
! S5O00O0 of loans and investments.
The First National Bank of Flushing
could lose $105 900, or 7S per cent. of the
! $134,0O it has loaned and invested in
other securities, and still be able to pay
| its depositors in full.
| The Peoples National Bank of Barnes
vile could lose $2O4, 900, or IS per cent. of
the $271 900 it has loaned and invested in
other securities, and still be able to pay
its depositors in full.
The First National Bank of Bellaire
could lose S3l3,0OO, or nearly GA per cent
of the $4,000 it has loaned and invested
in other SECURES, and pay its depositors
100 cents on the dollar.
And the First National Bank of
Barnesville could lose S253,OO0. or As per
cent. of the S550,000 it has loaned and in
vested in other securities and still be able
to satisfy the claims of its depositors.
If the "Bank Deposit Scare-crOw" can
get any consolation out of those figures
he is welcome to them.
1t is absurd to consider for one mo-
ment that any of these banks will lose
any such enormous sums, or such high
per centage of loans and investments,
as those quoted above. Practically each
is as safe to the depositor as the 9th
er. Z.

A Queer Whim.

An English nobleman q good many
many years ago took it into his head
to live for several weeks on Mount Etna
in the refuge 1000 feet or so below the
crater. This worthy, but slightly crack
ed, gentleman endured his hard fare OF
biscuits and timed meats well enough
for a fortnight at time. Every fif-
teenth day, however, he rode down the
mountain to the nearest village, some
twenty miles away, and reveled in all
the savory dishes the innkeeper could
put before him; after which banquet he
returned to his mountain perch, Injured
once again to comparative privation.-

THE ALLIANCE.

If there is one thing the Farmers Al
lance needs to be wary of it is the DEM
gogue and professional agitator, who
depends on the length of his tongue
and his lack of brains to keep himself
in a lob. There is always a class OF
men hanging around watching for any
new movement, and ready to jump in
to push themselves into leadership.
Such men clog progress along safe and
conservative lines, and finally end by
bringing the organization into disrepute
and failure. The Farmers Alliance has
a great field for work both for their own
benefit and for the benefit of all classes.
There are men capable, men possessed
of brains and forethought in the organ
ization who could direct the movement
in safe channels with the result of bet
tering very much the present unsatis-
factory condition of the farming inter
ests and business in general
Agitators and dead beats as the heads
of labor organizations, have brought Sc
we're criticism on bodies of men organ
lied for laudable purposes. They de-
pend upon incessant rows between en-
ployer and employe for their sustenance,
and when nothing else is on hand in
cite these troubles simply that they may
interpose in the settlement, and thus
appear to earn their salaries. In GER
tain respects this individual seems to
have pushed himself into the Alliance.
State Lecturer Charles jenkins has a
varied record as a professional agitator.
For many years his mission seems to
have been to oppose everything which is,
and it is significant to note that nearly
everything he has ever advocated is not,
and most things never will be. Several
years ago he drifted off from the old
parties and became Greenbacker, think
ing that the Government should print
money, and distribute 1t gratultousiy.
After that bubble burst he became an
advocate of the labor party, which real
ly died before its birth, and published
the Salem Vidette. weakling devoted
to all-around kicking. After that "bust-
ed" he hung around until the Alliance
was organized, and into that he rushed,
hoping to gain revenue and fame by his
rantings and denunciations. Good men
need to be in the lead, and not those of
the Jenkins stripe, who publicly ac-
knowledge they have attained no sue
cess either financial or otherwise. To
allow such men to pose as oracles of the
farmers movement is a mistake, and
they should be fired bodily from the or
ganization, for if allowed to remain they
can be depended upon to drag the Ali
ance into difficulties and disgrace.

THE committee appointed by Council
to investigate the electric light plants of
neighboring towns, have reported on
their visit to Bellaire and examination
of that city's plant. Their report states
that an ordinary, everyday engineer, and
a carbon trimmer, are all the Inen
necessary for plant at this place. They
think that the depreciation on the cost
of the plant will be about three per cent.
per annum, and that an engine can be
run with about fifty bushels of slack per
night. The committee makes no gen
eral estimate on the total cost of estab-
fishing or running plant. 1t is under
stood that the figures of the cost per
light to the managers of the Bellaire
plant were given to the committee, but
are not for publication. The matter is
to be considered at meeting of Council,
Wednesday night. The contract for the
present lighting expires in June. Senti-
ment is much divided as to the advisa-
bility of erecting an electric light plant,
and vote of the people will doubtless
be taken.
