the boys Of the Sixth Infantry band
thought they would enjoy the sight Of
the opening Of our battery on the enemy,

out for the fun. We took our position
for observation on little knob beside
the road that ran in our front Scarce
ly had we established ourselves when
an aged colored man passing along the
road told us that we were in a very dan
gerous position; that the enemy had the
range Of the road and fired at every
passing wagon.
by this time many others had congre-
gated at the same spot, and sure enough
along came wagon with its white COW
err just then we noticed that an artil-

in our front stopped very low and look

recognized as indicating the noise of

moment, and we all stopped low, for we
heard the ominous scream, and as the
wagon passed the shell grazed the feed

THERE seems to be a. general
agreement among the leading news
papers of New York City in the
opinion that the dynamite tragedy IN
Russell Sage's Office suggests the
need of more stringent precautions
against the indiscriminate sale or use
of high explosives. In the mining
regions, for example, where nitro
glycerine is in common use for blast
ing, there is probably but little super
vision of this terribly destructive
agent, and the case with which it can
be secured offers standing tempta-
ton to persons of revengeful or
unsound mind. Another obvious
lesson which is urged with much
force by the New York press is the
Importance of more rigid restraint
upon persons known to be ina dan
gerous mental condition. In coun-
try so jealous of any invasion of per-
sonal liberty there has perhaps been
too much federation of "cranks."

The Currency OF The CoantrV.

The annual report of the Comp
trolIer of the Currency to Congress .,
3 an interesting document-full OF
information to all classes of readers.
One hundred and ninety-three new
national banks were organized, wi tn
$40, 7O0,OO0 during the past year,
forty one went into involuntary
liquidation, and twenty five became
insolyent. The total number IN
operation III 1891, were 1904, with
a capital Of $GS4,755, s65; bonds de-
posted to secure circulation, Sl52,-
1880, including $35, 430,72l rep
resented by lawful money deposited
for their redemption. The gross cir
culation, including notes OF old
banks, and those of failed and liqui-
dating associations, decreased ST.
81, 0s5, while that secured by
pledge of bonds increased Sl11,795,-
l01.
It is shown that Of the total mum
Der of national banks only 81 per
cent. became insolvent within twenty
nine years past, and that the annual
average loss to creditors during that
period was only one-twentieth of ]
per cent. of the average liabilities.
The affairs of l02 insolyent banks IN
that period have been finally closed
ut an average expense of . % per
cent, with an average dividend to
creditors of 74.17 per cent. Those
closed during the last five years have
divided among creditors 5000 per
cent. at an average cost for total ex-
penses of 4 OS per cent The ques-
ton is worth asking whether any
other system would be likely to
show equally favorable results.
