went to the relief OF the Despatch. reports
a terrible experience during the storm. 1t
was with great difficulty the vessel was
kept from going on the reefs. Oil did not

in three places. All four of her heavy iron
cradle arms and shores were carried away
and the iron davits were wrenched out of
shape. The head-rail and ports were car
strained so that n constant bailInR was 60

How the Government Appears to Be Out
that Sum While 1t Is Not.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1891-03-08
A Word in Behalf of the Bank.

To the Edaor Of the dispatch:
have noticed from time TO time in the
DIspArcH q number of articles relating to
our national bank system. Wesee no rea-
son why they should have any new adyen-
tapes gwen them, or why they should be
displeased by greenbacks or some other
form of paper circulation. We beJleVe
that under the present law they are allowed
10 issue bank notes 10 the amount OF 80 per
cent. of the United States bonds which
they deposit in the Treasury, and the great
claim of Injustice set up by those opposed
10 this system is that they get interest on
their bonds and also on their circulating
notes issued, with these bonds as their Sc
curitv. Now. while all tins IS true, we
fail to perceive who IS injured therepy.
Surely some one must own these bonds
until thew are redeemed by the Govern
rnent. and if the banks did not own them
others would, and the interest thereon
would have to be paid just the same: there
fore norton of them being owned by the
banks does not in any way Affect the tax
mayer or the laborer's interest a particIe.
Then. as 10 the banks, many OF them nave
reduced the amount of their bonds held,
en- that their circulating notes do not re;
,,resent more than one half OF their capital
Stock and these bonds now bear only
Der cent. interest, and portion or that IS
I'D hack TO the Government IN the form
of Government tax on dlvldenos uGcl% tto!
nv the banks. And any new bank that
n ny starts. or any old bank that desires
70 Increase its own bank notes has to ,pur-
chase these bonds at premium OF t about
On per cent. So that the premium KNOCKS
~ the heft Of the profits on the bonds.
o~ We eI believe It is conceded by all that we
now have the best banking system ever
adopted by this Government, and every IX
Businessman knows the convenience ana

nIe and with the risks that they have to
take in the business. ,. 49,, ~.

GOLD AND SILVER.
A Missourian Talks About Judge
Hughes's Article.
LEXINGTON, No., February Is, 1891
To 0le Editor of me DiSpdfch.

LEXINGTON, No.. February Is. 1891.
To Che Editor of the Dispatch:
Your issue of the 22d instant was kindly
handed me by the Rev. E. @. Gordon. pastor
of the Presbyterian church here for me to
read Judge Hughess article. as / have for
years been the most active worker in this
neighhorhood on the subject. Coinciding
with Judge Hughes mainly there are two
points on which / differ from him. The
decentralization of silver in 1916 and 1921 by
England was no doubt forced on her bv
the Rothschilds. Her credit was low and
she was at their mercy, and they have
none. The fund-holders of England as o
class no doubt quickly saw the advantage
IN It, for II Is equivalent to increasing the
rate of interest after rate and contract
have been fixed; something that could not
otherwise be done.
But as to Germany think we ourselves
are solely responsible for her course. We
not only made ii possible, but forced her TO
doit Had we not had our channels Of cir
culation filed with paper money the great
silver discoveries in the COmstock would
never have frightened Germany into de-
monetiZation of silver, as our gold in Cali
fornia had frightened Austria into demone-
tizing gold before. We should have used
our own metals to replace our paper.
! Then il would not have gone abroad,
and Germany would not have been
able to demonetize it. But that
silver going abroad just as Germany was
getting the war fine of France into her
Golfers made her, made the whole Euro
pean channels sufficiently flush for her to
DO as she did. And if we do not use our
own silver. forsooth, why snouldiother ma
tions take care of it tor us? The infatua-
tion of some Of our people for the uncon-
stitutional greenback and the treble profit
of bankers by their issues are responsible
for the characterization of silver. The root
of the evil is Jackson's and BentOn's old
hydrs-federal banking. Look at the ma
tiOnal-bank ring in New York. In the last
panic they created o wild. lawless cur
renew of their own called certified
checks" Now they are doing the same
thing under the name OF clearing house
certificates" They can view with good
deal of philosophy the falling prices of
wheat and corn, pork and beef, that fail to
paw the interest on the farm mortgage, so
long as they can make money equal to
the demand for their own protection.
Benton's old lesson is the needed one to;
day Get rid of Federal paper and
ssturate" the country with. coin.
Everything from Old Virginia interests
me. From there came my mothers family;
and among the historic names in the Old
Dominion l see many whose owners were
her kin or with whom her family inter
married. And am glad to see the sturdi:
ness of intellect among the sons of the old
State as shown in your columns.

A BREEZY MEETING.
The New Court House Scheme is Laid
 Away For the Present.

The New Court House Scheme is Laid
 Away For the Present.
 The adjourned town meeting to hear the report of the committee appointed to inquire into the practibility of erect ing a new court house, for the accom- modation of the Waterbury superior court, was held last night.
 Dr F. F. Cook called the meeting to order and John O'Neill, a member of the committee, took the floor. Mir O'Neill said that he had personal inter- views with senators and representatives of New Haven county regarding their feelings towards reimhursing the town and city of Waterbury from the county treasury for the expense of erecting a new court house. MHO'Neill said: {, ."From what I have learned I have no doubt that the representatives will vote to reimburse us to the amount of $50, 1000. The representatives will be at Hartford on January 2, at which time there will be a meeting of the represent atives from New Haven county. Your committee, therefore, ask that the meeting adjourn for the present after appointing a committee to meet the county representatives on January ', in Hartford and ask them to appropriate | S50, ,000 for Waterbury court house. 5 MT O'Neill then presented the following: Voted, That the chairman appoint a ! suitable committee to ascertain if the county representatives will reimburse the town and city of Waterbury for the outlay necessary to erect a new court house.
 L. I. Munson said that it was one thing to get the representatives to prom. ise and another thing to get them tc carry out their promise.
 NJ. F. Connolly took the floor in oppo sition to the matter. He said we have court accommodations enough already and that the present court accommoda. tions were equal to any in New York He was opposed to any adjournment | except sine die.
 MT O'Neil again took the floor, as did John Fitzpatrick, both favoring the appointment of a committee to meet with the county representatives. The motion was then put, and in spite of the plain statements of the commit tee 1t was lost by vote of fifty-sever to forty-four, the house being divided MT O'Neil then moved that the towr unite with the city in erecting another story to the City hall building, for the purpose of suitable court accommoda tions. There were many bowling fol an adjournment, but Mir O'Neil's motion was put and defeated.
 The opposl'lon crowd yelled again fol an adjournment.
 | MT ONelll then moved that the towr pay half the expense of tearing dowr the walls in the district court room be tween that room and the jury anG clerks rooms, so as to get more light Again the opposition yelled for an ad | journment A motion to adjourn, sub ject to the call of the committee, diC not suit them and they voted it down M. F. Connolly moved to adjourn sin' die. It was put and carried.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.

Last night passenger on an express train on the Air Line road received a very bad cut on the head by stone being thrown through the window while the train was in transit. He stopped off at Middletown to have the wound dressed.
 The farm house on the Booth property two miles from Thomaston, occupied by Charles Comstock, was destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. Mir and Mrs Comstock were away at the time and it is supposed the fire was caused by children playing with matches. The total loss is $2,2O0 insurance $1 ,00O.
 Yesterday number of matters went up to an old deserted mill in New Mil ford and indulged in a drunk. When the men started to return home Thomas McSterrick refused to accompany them and was left behind. This morning his body was found in the cellar of the mill. He had died during the night. He was about 40 years of age and unmarried. Henry Ravens, the brute who as- saulted the Pelcher girl in Lyme, a few days ago and who was afterwards re- leased on $10O bonds, was re arrested last night and this morning placed under $500 bonds. It was believed that he in- tended to skip the town before his tr1al came off. He is held on three charges, breach of the peace, assault with intent to commit rape and burglary.

They Robbed the Mail

CHICAGO, Dec 16.-Between 3 and 3 o'clock this morning Officers O'Shea and Kirby saw two man seated in an all night restaurant. One of the men answered the description of the only robber seen by the driver of the mail wagon which was robbed last night. When the officers entered the men attempted to- escape, but were overtaken and locked up. The police know them as suspicious characters. It was learned this morning that they re- ceived $500 in currency and fully $2OO,- 900 worth of non negotiable paper. Among the latter papers it is thought there might possibly have been $2O0 or $500 in currency. The robbery is p1 O. nounced by the police to have been one of the cleverest ever perpetrated in the oity.
