The keystone Bank scandal in Phila-
delphia grows more portentous with
each days developments. It was shown
on Thursday by the report of the ex
perts who have been examining Bards-
ley's accounts as City Treasurer with
the Keystone Bank, that he had about
$500, 900 more of the city's money in
that bank than his books showed. He
reported $441, 600 as deposited, when
he really had 1928, 900. AS the author
lied limit of city deposits in the bank
was $400, 900, Bardsley and his bonds
men wer responsible for all above
that sum, and to escape this response
blity he sought to conceal the excess
by having it transferred to his personal
account. The difference between the
reported deposit and the actual de-
post, amounting to nearly 5000, 900,
was represented chiefly by his own
unpaid checks, which he carried as
cash. In order to raise the amount
covered by these checks, when an in
veStlgatiOn was ordered, he misap
propriated $50, 900 of city money lying
In another national bank to the credit
of city contractors. It also came out
on Thursday that Bardsley has been a
delinquent taxpayer since 1887, he
being a large property-owner, and
that, although he at present owes the
city nearly $12, 900 for taxes, his name
has never appeared on the published
list of the delinquent taxpayers. This
revelation throws considerable light
upon the fact, pointed out by the
Philadelphia Ledger, that there were
outstanding taxes at the beginning of
the present year amounting to more
than S. Q 600, of which 81, 1000, 900
u~ncollectible, and who was protecting
Bardsley and other delinquents?-The
Nation.

HEIGHT OF CRUELTY.

Nervous women seldom receive the sympathy
they deserve. While often the pictures OF
health, they are constantly ailing. To withhold
sympathy from these unfOrtunates is the height
of cruelty. They have a weak heart, causing
weak and hungry spells, and finally swelling of
ankles, oppression, choking, smOthering and
drOpsy. DIR. Miles New Heart Cure is just the
thing for them. For their nervousness, head
ache, weakness, etc, his Restorative Nervine is
unequaled. Fine treatise on Heart and Nerv-
Gus Diseases " and marvellous testimonials free.

Secretary Foster had a meeting with
the New York bankers on Thursday,
which has apparently had a cheering
effect on all concerned. What has
been troubling him and the country
ever since he came into office, is the
question what he should do about
meeting the $57, 600, 900 A per cent.
Government bonds falling due in Sep
TENDER, The contention of his OppOn-
ents ever since the Billion Congress
adjourned has been, that the Treasury
was so depleted that he would not be
able to meet them without trenching
on the reserve appropriated to the
redemption of the greenbacks, or, in
other words, without virtually con
Tossing the insolvency of the Treasury.
What he maintains is, that he has
enough money to pay the bonds if
absolutely necessary; that he has from
$50, OOO, 900 to $60, O00, 900 of cash avail
able for the purpose; but in doing SO
he is forced to admit that it would be
inconvenient and unpleasant to use it
1 this way, as it would draw b.
balance down very low. So he GAS
on to New York to see w~hethaFcme
bankers would not advise hpGr The
what, we presume he had Hn 10 90
doing all along, viz, askEhOqgnG L
of the bonds, mostly Wthe holders
to let them run aftepE estern banks,
R Would def PS IrSsEiSSF This, of course,
the ste, to all intents and purpose,
REORGANIZATION of a new loan at a
reduced rate of interest, and yet it is
desirable that it should not look like a
new loan, and thus enable the enemy
to say that the Secretary had been
obliged to borrow to meet the current
demands on him. What he wanted
of the bankers, therefore, was advice
which would enable him to call it sOme-
thing else than a loan-such as an
extension on mutually advantageous
terms-and this they gave him. They
pointed out that it was very important
to the country that the banks which
now hold the bonds should continue to
hold them, in order not to have to
contract their circulation just as the
fall demand for money becomes most
pressing; that it was also important
that he should not offer them too lOw
a rate of interest, because in that case
the banks, finding they could make
nothing on their circulation, would
begin to sell their bonds at the risk of
forcing them below par in the market
"a very undesirable thing to have
happen to a Government security. So
that, In one way or another, it was
made to seem the solemn duty of the
Secretary to the country, with much
resulting comfort to the Secretary
himself, to put off on honorable terms
the payment of the Al per cents. And
he in his turn cOmfOrted the bankers
by assuring them that under no cir
cumstances would he fail in his duty to
keep the silver money of the Govern
ment at par with gold, and that, no
matter how much gold was exported,
he would allow no slight to be inflicted
on silver-that is, that he would do
whatever was necessary to make it as
good as gold in the form of currency.
