Stromberg and MCGEE got a vote
through the Executive Committee
criticising the GREAT West for an
error"-stating that the G. W. put
down MCGEE, Mcdonald and some
one else as voting against resolu-
ton when they voted for it. The
statements of MCGEE and Stromberp
are q part of a game which we are
watching with a great deal OF pleas
ure. A part of the most contempti-
BILE correspondence OF that MCGEE is
in our Office. 1t is hard to know why
men can be 80 mean-but then they
are. Our error was in rendering
mot voting" as negative" The err
TOR was detected in this Office and
compared with Stromberg's tangled
copy at once, and when those parties
claim to have voted for the Irvine
resolution they tell q falsehood &C
cording to Stromberg's own manu-
script!

Chauncey Depew, J. D. Rockefeller
and a number of other millionaires
who were recently indicted for
criminal negligence in keeping stoves
in cars contrary to law, from which
fires started and burned several peo-
pie to death, have just been acquit-
ted of manslaughter by a New York
Judge; but an operator on another
New York road who fell asleep from
overwork and caused a fatal collision
is now in the penitentiary for a like
crime. The notorious Bardsley, city
treasurer of Philadelphia, who en-
bezzled nearly two millions has been
set free though dozens are being
daily imprisoned in that city for
stealing the necessariss of life. Yes,
this is the poor mans country! He

Farmers you ought to quit talk

ticians are very uneasy and you
ought to have sense enough to know
that it is wrong to disturb a man.
Don't do it Farmers, you are liable
to throw some of these fellows out
of a job and you know they won't
work-they don't like to, no how.
So just hush up and again allow the
political atmosphere to get still.
OF course the stencil and filth will
emit rather unfavorable odor, but
then your olfactories are used to it
so you don't mind it much, do you?
Then again you will "bust up'' the

much racket. Talk about how to
farm, how to carry in chips, slop the
hogs, etc. Learn each other
what time OF the year to look for
screw worms, the best method OF
killing ticks, and how to manage to
keep your fences in out of the wealth

Chauncey NJ. Depew is reported as
having said, "Acres do not govern
the country, but brains." He should
have said dollars instead of brains.
1t would, indeed, be good thing if
the country were governed by brains,
it certainly needs it. But it does not
need the kind of brains possessed by
the money powers and protected
monopolists. Mr.. Depew is by no
means infallible, and may find there
are brains enough to be found on the
acres of the farmers to govern this
country.-Enterprise Gazette.

1t is quite evident that very much Of the
inside history Of the failure of the Maverick
bank is yet to be told. But enough has
already been revealed to show that the dis
asier was not the result OF misfortunes
which are liable to come to the most scrupu.
lous and most careful bank managers. but
on the contrary was the outcome of most reck-
less speculation on the part of the directors,
or some of them. who have treated the money
of the depositors as practically their own to be
embarked In any wild cat scheme which hap
pened to appeal to their fancy or held out
possibilities of big returns. Under the ma.
tional banking act no director is allo ed to
borrow from the bank more than ten per
cent of its capital stock, and as the capital
of the Maverick bank was 100000. the legal
limit of borrowing was reached when d.
rector was indebted to 1t to the amount of
$4,000. But Mr.. Potter, the President, owes
the bank $1,25O.000. or more than thirty
times the legal amount, Col. French owes 1t
SoOO,0OO, or twenty times that amount, and
Mr.. Dana 100000, or ten times. Precisely
what these huge loans have been used for
does no. yet clearly appear but probably they
were embarked In speculative ventures and
lost. 1t is clearly case of bank wrecking
by the dedeliberate unfaithfulness of the
directors to their trust. The moral turpituce
of their performance Is not one whit less than
that of the cashier who has secretly alb
stracted the funds of the bank and used
them for his own personal benefit. These
men have violated their trust just as grossly
and their punishment If they are found
guilty should be just as severe.

A correspondent of the Argus, who signs

paper yesterday in search of information:
Now would like to ask Secretary Foster, or
perhaps the able editor Of the PRESS can answer
the following question: If by reducing the outy
on sugar saves, as the secretary says, to every
man, woman and child dollar a year who in the
name OF common sense paid thai tax OF dollar a
year before the tax was removed? Was it the
producer or consumer?
As Secretary Foster may not read the
Argus the PRESS will take the responsibility
of answering ct" Without doubt the con-
sumer paid the sugar duty. The ways and
means committee that framed the Mckinley
bill so stated, and for that reason removed
the duty 10 order that the consumers might
be relieved OF the tax. The tariff on sugar
was tax to the extent of the amount of the
duty. Perhaps this would be sufficient an.

tor seemed anxious to convey to the readers
OF the Argus the impression that, because
the duty on sugar was a tax, all other duties

entirely incorrect. The tariff on sugar was
a tax because we were unable to manufac-

there has been duty long enough to enable
domestic competition to grow up, can be
found on the tariff list which the condition

necessarily tax. ST" fails to make dis.
tinction which any one who has got as far as
the primer of tariff discussion ought not to
miss,--the distinction between revenue
duties and protective duties. The duties
upon tea, coffee and sugar were revenue
duties, since no duty would enable .those ar
ticles to be produced proftably at home, The
Democratic party as whole has generally
believed in assessing these revenue duties In
order to raise the needed NOR ey for the ex-
penses of the government, while letting In
free all articles which our own manufactur-
ers might make. This policy would give the
government plenty Of money while leaving
our industries TO contend against the longer
established Industries of the old world. The

paper Of western Canada, Is printing car
toons plainly intended to foster the annexa-

depicted dressed In the starry waistcoat and

Abbott, who is saying, "bound for annexa-

Neither the Keystone bank failure in Phil
adelphia or the Maverick bank failure in
Boston was the offspring of any sudden and
unexpected loss to the bank or
panic in the community. The causes
that produced both Of them had been
at work for long time before the final
crash came. and in both cases long before
the failures there must have been plenty Of
evidence discoverable that these causes were
at work. The question naturally arises then
why was it not discovered long ago that
these causes were at work or, why IL It
was discovered did not the comptroller take
action to protect the public. The national
banking law provides for frequent examin-
ations of national banking institutions
by an official appointed for that purpose
with view Of ascertaining their condition.
Yet though 1t now appears that the Maver-
lex bank has been shaky for many months,
and its directors guilty Of gross malfeasance
In Office. these facts either escaped the OBJ
servation Of the examiner or were ignored
by the authorities whose duty 1t was to act
upon them. 1t was the same with the Key
stone bank Of Philadelphia The business
community was convinced of the unsound-
ness of the bank long before the officials
whose duty 1t was to know its condition took
any action. 1t is difficult to say whether the
fault is with the law or with the officers, but
that there Is fault somewhere admits of very
little doubt.

The Governor of Texas has offered re-
ward Of $1,000 each for the arrest of men,
bers of a mob who took negro from Jail in
Cass county on the Goth Of last month and
burned him at the stake. In his proclama-
tion the Governor condemns unsparingly the
awful atrocity, which he considers deep
disgrace to the state. As burning Ia man at
the stake would reflect disgrace even upon a
tribe of Comanches, there can be no doubt
Of the disgrace to Texas. 1t is almost be-
yond belief that a human being should be
burned at the stake by white men in any
state of the American union in this nine
teenth century. Governor Hogg has shown
proper appreciation of the enormity of the
crime and is earnestly endeavoring to bring
the Texan savages to justice. 1t is believed
that he will succeed; for in spite of this out
break Texas is more law abiding than ever
before. Crimes are being punished judicial
ly, and the reign Of the mobs is surely pass
ing away.

FISH LIVING IN ICE.
One Little Fellow Survived After Six
Months Imprisonment.

One Little Fellow Survived After Six
Months imprisonment.
The great severity of the cold last winter
has raised the question whether fish suffer
injury from being inclosed for long periods
in solid ice. A correspondent of Nature
quotes a case in which an icebag for appli-
cation to an invalid's head had been filed
in July from an icehouse which had been
stored with ice the previous December. The
ice was thus 6 months old, and yet, when
the bag was emptied after use, little fish
was found swimming merrily about in the
water which came from it. The ice had
originally been gathered from pond in the
neighborhood.
Another correspondent of the same peri
odical, dating from London suburb, writes
that in pond there several small carp and
innumerable sticklebacks were embedded in
the ice last December, and that when
pieces of the ice were broken up and the
fish placed in water they showed no sign OF
life. Seeing that these results are SO at
variance with one another it would be in
teresting to institute experiments to settle
the point. If fish can really be kept alive
at a temperature below the freezing point,
a new industry might arise in the importa-
ton of Canadian salmon, as palatable as
that which is taken from our own rivers.
