THERE was never a more patient
and conservative set of creditors
than the creditors of the Bank of
Columbia and Columbia Banking
Co.. have shown themselves to be.
But under such irritating circum-
stances patience will not endure for
ever. The examining committees for
both banks ought to make full, COM
plete and final reports next Monday,
aud some positive action should be
taken looking to the interests of the
creditors. Patience will not last al
ways, and besides, patience some

''Is it possible that you do not know,

barrass the administration with un-

the Importance of vigorous and de-
cided action. 1t is not q question of
expense when the peace of the State
is violated and its dignity insulted by
armed ruffiAnism but even from the
purely business standpoint it is folly
for the State to jeopardize its con
tract with the lessees, thus putting in
peril the revenue derived therefrom
with the additional loss of the heavy
expense which would be thrown upon
the State and taxpayers. The State
has neither shelter nor employment

has never, under the most favorable
circumstances, been able to work the
convicts on its own account except at
| heavy loss to be forced to take them
back without preparation, without
shops to work them in or cells to keep
them in would be nothing short of
caIamitous. Yet we have been dan
gerOusly near the verge of this ca

workingmen of the State would sup
port any movement, however crimi-
nal and violent, if done under the
assumed name of Labor" The un-

The Democratic Executive
t&AnA

The suggestion we made last week
concerning q new mode of forming
the County Executive Committee,
has met with some favor and some
adverse criticism. Just as we ex-
pected aud just as all reforms do.
In these degenerate times a mau or
a newspaper rarely ever get credited
for purely unselfish, disinterested
motives, and we are not surprised
therefore to learn that some people
are disposed to believe that there is
something beneath the surface of the
proposed plan. We are not discon-
certed at all by these inquiries.
They are mot unexpected; not unnat-
ural, perhaps. But we hope to allay
all such fears by the positive assur-
ance that there is nothing else in the
proposition, or under it, or connected
with it, except the plain proposition
to get a good, active, harmonious
committee of Democrats, who, under
the plan proposed, will have been Sc
lected because of their personal as
WILL as political interest in the men
:. no may be chosen as the nominees.
THIS HERALD has no man in view
as the Chairman of the committee (;
does not even know at present OF any
gentleman who will aspire to this
honor. For, while it is q position OF
honor, it is an office without emolu-
ments and q work of love, and such
Off ,es, we all know, all not greedily
sought after. The office would most
likely seek the man, rather than the
man the office, and for that, so much
the better.
AS rule we are opposed to lone
III IN power" And in this view of
the case the plan We have suggested,
(that is, of the Chairman being Sc
lected by the people, aud then choos-
ing his own cabinet) has it's serious
objections. But it is the only plan
we know OF by which perfectly har-
monious committee can be made up;
and for that one reasOn-if it had no
other merit-we think its virtues out
balance its faults.
We have had some intimacy with
the Democratic Executive Commit
tees OF this county for several years,
and we state it as q fact that can be
proven that the party for years has
not had a committee free from drOnes
and Iaggards, and sometimes traitors.
the different Chairmen at different
times have been badly handicapped
and could not do effective work In
certain districts, because they could

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ind, Dec. 8.-Gen-

pairing the manuscript for his new book,
and he scarcely finds time to take need
full exercise. To a friend he said that
it was the greatest task of his life, and
he says that he is bringing into use all
his knowledge and experience in the
literary wor' to make the work a sue
cess. His other two works have been a
great success, and he is DESTROYS of hav-
ing the forthcoming work occupy even
a more prominent place than does ''Ben-
Hur" at the present time. To this end
he will wrlCe, rewrite and revise each
paragraph &C his new work until he Is
fully statistic 1 that it will stand the test
of the critics. He does not know when
the manusc. ipt will be ready for the
publishers, Ddt he will not turn it over
until he is himself fully satisfied. He
has been be eyed by publishers who de-
sire to place the work before the world,
and some Of them make very liberal
offers. The majority of these want to
pay him 90 to 60 per cent. royalty. His
latest offer Is $25, 900 cash in advance on
the receipt o. the manuscript and go per
cent. of the gross receipts from the sale
of the work. The usual per cent. paid

ducements + cid out to secure the publ
cation and control of the new work show
that great confidence has been placed in
the ability of General Wallace.

AT THE HEALTH FOOD FAIR.

Speaking of the great Health Food
Fair, the Boston Sunday Herald of Oct.
IS says: The Revere Sugar Refinery of
Boston, Nash, Spaulding & Co., proprie-
tors, which is we'll known to the grocery
trade throughout New England, has
quite large exhibit of its barreled sugar
and extra diamond syrup in casks, under
west balcony of Grand Hall, and adjoin-
ing the butter exhibit of Cobb, Bates &
Yerxa. On a counter in the rear, on a
lower shelf, are sample bottles of raw
sugars used in the production of refined
sugars by the firm. On higher shelf, or
counter, there are shown in glass jars
seven different kinds of refined sugar, and
in two glass bottles is shown the rich
hued diamond syrup. Only cane sugars
are used in the Revere refinery The firm
in its circular of Sept. "a, 1891, says:
1.-The extra quality Revere graduated
sugar has long been conceded by consum-
ers to be the best in this country, and
now this fact is emphasized by some of
the wholesale grocers charging more for
it than for any other" The Revere
Sugar Refinery proprietors deserve well
of the public, for they never sold out to
the sugar trust, but kept their works in
dependent and in the interests of the peo
pie. Notwithstanding that higher prices
are asked for the superior grades of Re
we're sugar, the firm announces that all
6rst-class grocers sell it at the same price
as any other graduated, the Revere Re
fnery enabling them to do this by its
policy of still continuing to fill orders for
2O-barrel lots at the same price as for a
larger quantity. The extra diamond
syrup of the firm commands a higher
price than any other syrup made in the
country; and every package bears a
10 ,a1c CT +ho+ &C. To he
the product of cane sugars only no beet
sugars being used in its manufacture ;
and it is also guaranteed to be absolutely
free from corn glucose.
