Judge Pc0er, the new Alliance senator
from Kansas, has been making a speech
to his constituents at Atchison, in which
he expressed some interesting ideas.
Of course he declared himself strongly
In favor Of the free coinage of silver,
hut he went a step further and minated
that he was in favor of the free coinage
Of copper. According to the report in a
local paper, "hc held up a copper cent
and said that for fifteen cents man
could buy copper enough to make
two dollars; vet it was good
money" II copper is good mon
cv, il follows that we ought 10 have
it in abuadauce-''the more, the mer-
rier" Indeed, why should not Judge
PETER have gone a step further and
called for the free coinage OF copper?
There Is this nj least TO be said in favor
of it, that copper is a metal which holds
its own. and more than holds its own, in
the market, its value having appreciated
OF late years, largely by reason of the
growing demand for it in electrical en-
terprisss. II senator PETER really
wants TO make q ten-strike, he should

HAMPTON AND ITS STUDENTS.


Those who attended the meeting last
Monday evening at the Centre church in
the interests of Hampton institute, Hamp-
ton, Va, We're entertained beyond their
expectations. Charles l.. Mead who is
spending the summer here, and who for 10
years has been one of the trustees of the
institute, presided at the meeting, and pre-
scented an interesting outline of the aims
and present attachments of the school
Gen. Armstrong. its founder and during
the war a commander of colOred troops
was expected to have given an address, but
was unable to be here, and Rev. II. b.
Frissell, vice principal of the institute, who
has been in town, was recalled to Hamp-
ton by important business. In his open
ing remarks Mr.. Mead alluded to the war
and its outcome. the emancipation of the
slaves, the new condition of things which
followed the change, the progress which
the cOlOred race had made and the hopeful
signs for the future, which are many, and
told of the small beginnings and rapid
growth of the institute whose work was to
be Illustrated. At the close of his remarks
the Hampton quartet was introduced and
at intervals through the evening they sang
the old plantation melodies, weird, sweet
and touching as are few other race songs,
and gave them as only the African, with
his rich mellow voice, can sing them. Mr..
Daggs, graduate of Hampton institute,
and for a number of years bOOkkeeper
there, spoke in behalf of his race whose
freedom had come in answer to centuries
of prayer He spoke of their increase in
numbers and the alarming superstition of
the masses, urging more light rather than
more rights as the crying need of the race
more teachers, more educated preachers.
The negro problem has TO do, not with the
prosperous class, but with the lower igno-
rant mass who are accumulating nothing
but debt and vice. The value of such in
stitutions as Hampton is inestimable. Two
other speakers of the evening were young
Indians from Dakota, who had been but
short time at the school, but who in their
broken English and quaint idiOm expressed
their appreciation of its advantages, told of
the gradual change of habit and elevation
of their own people, the need among them
of instruction, and the desire they had to
learn that they might go back with light
and help to their race A cOntribu-
ton to the work of the school was made
by the audience, and a number of selec-
tions by the quartet closed the exercises.

FAILURES OF NATIONAL BANKS.
Percentage of Losses to Depositors--
New Banks Organized.
BY United Press

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 2.
The report of the Comptroller of
the Currency shows that during the
year ended October 3lst, 1891,
1913 new national banks were or
ganized, possessing an aggregate
capital of $27O,00O, thus exhibit
ing growth largely in excess of
the annual average for past years.
Of the new banks established, SO
are located west of the Mississippi
river and 59i in the Southern States.
In number of failures the present
exceeds any previous year, but
others have been more disastrous in
point of capital and liabilities. 1t is
noted that more than one half in
number of the banks which became
insolvent during the period covered
by the report we're located in two
Western States and that these fail
ures were chiefly due to the effects
Of four successive crop failures. 1t
is shown that of the total number of
National banks organized only three
and a half per cent. have become
insolvent during a period of twenty
nine years and that the annual
average loss to creditors during that
period has been only one-twentieth
of one per cent of their average
liabilities. The failures recorded
are looked upon as the result of
the collapse of the speculative
spirit which has been generally pre-
valent for the past FIVE years great
. ly aggravated by the monetary
stringencies experienced by most of
the nations with which we sustain
commercial relations. On the
whole the banks in the National
system have met the disasters of the
year with commendable courage
and success and have demonstrated
their ability to meet the exigencies
| of general liquidation with so
small loss to creditors as to make it
seem insignificant when compared
with the vast sums which have been
entrusted to their care and manage
ment.
