There is no doubt that the Kansas farm

STORE UP THE GRAssHoPPERs.

The grasshoppers are the last possible
hope for the calamity gang. But the
grasshoppers are not coming. Grass
hoppers, like the Alliance squealers, are
drouth-tlme bird, and like other
calamity fowls only fatten on failure.
PETER, Simpson, ct al, know how that
is. Neither of them would ever have
been heard of but for disasters which
came Of crop failures and of reaction
from a period of abnormal speculation.
Hooting bowls are only heard and seen
in the night time, the darker the night
the bigger the hobgoblin. PETERS
mortgage speech reads best in the
shadow of tombstone in the old OF
the moon. 1t could neither be heard or
understood in front of a threshing ma
chine that was cleaning upthirty bushels
of wheat to the acre.
The howl set up by the Democratic
and Alliance press for Humphrey to call
an extra session of the legislature to stay
the flight of grasshoppers, is like the
tears of the girl who was paralyzed with
the fear that she would live to get mar
ried and have baby which might take
a tumble down stairs and bump up
big nose bleed. PETER and his crowd
see the blood of that babys nose run
ming knee deep and all covered over
with fioundering grasshoppers. There
is enough green stuff in Sedgwick county
alone to give all the grasshoppers in
christendom a fatal case of chronic
d iarrhoea and have left four millions of
dollars worth Of wheat, oats, hay and
fruits already harvested. The grasShop-
per howl is a calamity howl, pure and
simple, and therefore humbug, which
is bug with whiskers instead Of wings,
a bug whose tongue is longer than its
legs, and its name is PETER. The only
show under heaven that such men as
PETER and Simpson and all that class
have of being kept in Office
and recognized as among the ruling
class, is in continued calamity. So their
only prayer is Good God, grasshop-
pers! drouthl financial trouble! hell in
any shape, or anything, so that we may
continue to wall and to pocket i've thou
sand each per annum, while we talk up
government warehouses, greenbacks by
the cart load or such other Internal non
sense as may happen to find room in our
empty pates." The truth is the people
of Kansas can stand grasShoppers,
drouth, mortgages, or anything better
than they can PETERS speeches, whose
only chance for speech-making comes
through disaster. If the grasshoppers
should come they ought to be stored up
in quantities in those same government
warehouses, be dried and
ground up and fed to these defamers of
Kansas

Story of a New York Bank.

Mrs. Jones' death suggests the story OF
The founding of the Chemical bank.
This institution is in some respects the
most famous Of American banking
houses. A good many years ago certain
shrewd and wealthy Welshmen under
took TO start a factory for the manufac-
ture of chemicals. and as a branch OF
this undertaking they proposed TO have
little bank, more for convenience than
for money making. The chemical fac
tory was started, and the little bank got
agoing at the same time, and one man
was able to act as president, cashier and
teller. BY and by it began to dawn
upon the stockholders that the little bank
was the most profitable branch OF their
undertaking.
a hard headed Welshman named
Jones, who had married the daughter Of
Mr.. Mason, the founder of the chemical
factory and bank, began to teach the old
New Workers what banking was. The
capital was small, and the profits were
constantly charged to the surplus &C
count, until by and by the stockholders
found that they had a bigger surplus
than they had capital. The business in
creased, and so did the surplus, and the
directors kept on adding the profits to
the surplus, satisfied to see that pile
grow rather than to take the dividends
in cash.
Out of this kind of banking has grown
the modern Chemical bank, on capital
of $500, GOO. 1t has made surplus of
many millions of dollars, it pays fire.
quently semi-monthly dividends of or
per cent, its stock is quoted away up in
the thousands and is only obtainable
through the death of some stakeholder
and the subsequent closing out of his

on hand will show the net increase

and this statement will be part
Of the form now adopted. In making
making up the new statement of cash IN
treasury, the figures will plainly show
the different kinds of money included IN
the total. Against this total will be
stated the cash liabilities. These items
have been eliminated. The secretary
holds that if accrued interest may be
charged as liability against cash. then
with equal propriety accrued salaries
can be so charged, or in like manner the
accrued liability for the construction OF
public buildings, or for the improvement
Of rivers and harbors.
The matured debt item is made up of
the remnant of bonds and other forms of
Indebtedness remaining unpaid from the
foundation of the government. 1t is as
sumed that less than % per cent of these
will ever be presented for payment. They
are now as heretofore carried on the
debt statement, but not as a liability
against cash.
The secretary also calls attention to
the items of liability against the cash IN
the treasury, composed, first, CT the
pei SSAG lQuO ESIO TIC VI
national bank notes, which sum can
only be reduced by the retirement of
national bank circulation. The secretary
thinks this amount ought by law to be
covered into the treasury, as was done
recently with the fund for the redemp-
ton of failed and retired national banks.
The probability is that this sum will be
increased during the coming year, in
stead of reduced. Second, the items of
outstanding checks and drafts, which
rarely ever falls below So, 900, 900. Third,
disbursing officers balances, now
amounting to about to $34, 600, 900. This
money is In the treasury and in
government repositories to the
credit of disbursing officers, and seldom
falls below the present amount Fourth,
agency accounts made up mainly of
postal revenues and subject to the draft
of the postmaster general. This, too,
rarely falls below 50, 100000.
These four items amount to S51, 000,-
600, and if held by a bank could be
safely loaned up to nine-tenths of the
total sum. The secretary will not here
after deduct from his cash balance the
amount on deposit in National bank nor
the fractional silver coin on hand. He
thinks there is no good reason why this
should ever have been done.

Salina Republican: L. T. Livingston,
president of the Georgia Alliance, says:
Had our southern Alliance the power
we would abrogate all pensions. The
war was over more than twenty-five
years ago and our southern people won't
stand that swindle any longer" The
probability is that the doughty colonel
never made the statement credited to
him, but if he did, and were to under
take to carry the threat into execution,
that is, attempt to nullify the pension
laws of congress, the chances are that he
and those for whom he assumes to speak
would have the dissatisfaction Of not
only paying the pensions already pro-
vided for, but several more on a new
score.
