CHILL DURING OUR CIVIL WAR

The republic of Chill was once our
friend than which none other on earth
was more ardent or sincere. The
1acts and the time are we'll worth re
calling. 1t was during the civil war
When tins nation was struggling des-
perately for life. Chill was enthusi
astcally on the side of the Union.
Her people contributed more money
TO the sanitary commission for the
benetlt of northern sick and wounded
soldiers than was sent for like Dur
pose through all the other legations of
thetSoyernment combined. The Chill
ian authorities, moreover, at that cru
clal moment in our history cheerfullv
acknowledged and paid with interest
large claim that had originally been
preferred against their government by
ours as early as 1919.
As the war drew to a close. news
from the North was awaited with ex-
IRENE eagerness by the people of Chill.
One night III the spring of 1865 the
American minister at Santiago was
awakened from his sleep by band of
music playing Hail Columbia" in
front OF the legation. Making his
way to the balcony he was hailed by
q venerable man. This was the presi-
dent of the Chilian republic. Rich
mond Is fallenr' the president shout
Ell; Lee has surrendered, The war
Is over" and the music began again.
minSilng ITS joyous notes with the
glad cries of the people. A day of
featlng was proclaimed: al business
was suspended and there was nauebt
but rejoicing IN the CHILEAN capital
over triumph Of Union arms. A pro
cesslon zo,UO0 strong. headed by the
president and containing in It's ranks
tAe cabinet, both branches of Congress-
the judges of the courts and civic
bodies paraded the streets. As the
day grew dim more than leo bands
wee massed on the plaza where the
national hymns of both nations were
played for the multitude. This bean
tlful story, in all its detail. was touch
mgly told the other evening at the
annual dinner of the Indiana com
mandery of the Loyal Legion at Terre
Haute by Col. Thomas HI. Nelson. who
was the American minister at Santiago
during the civil war.
The contrast now presented in a
view OF our relations with Chill is not
hatt arlng to this nation. After. max
ing adequate allowances for the hot
blooded impetuously of CHILEAN
thought and feeling, can one refrain
from the belief that to have begotten
tins hldeous progeny Of hate the
iatter-day policy of the United States
government toward Chill in some
measure at least must have been
wret,hedly conceived and bunglingly
executed? Ii so. there is one man
who Is most responsible. His name
Is James Or Blame. Springfield Re
publican.

By reference to notice published else
where it will be seen that the First Ma
tional Bank of this city is about to change
from national to state bank. This
change was decided upon at a meeting of
the Board of Directors OF Saturday De
cember &c. This move has been under
contemplation for some time owing to the
fact that charter as national bank
imposes SO many restrictions In the way
of business. As an instance, a national
bank is not allowed to loan to any one
an amount greater than one-tenth of it's
capital which in the case of the National
Bank of this city would mean not more
than $1,000. There are other little re-
uuirements which would not hamper a
bank In small city not doing large
business.
The change will be effected January l,
1892. The old bank makes magnificent
showing at the close of IL existence.
On Saturday last at the clos, u business
its available means were 800, 1858. In
this sum is not included the Bills Re-
ceivable, but funds actually available
and consists of the following:
Due from Reserve Agents S111.744.93
Due from other Natl Banks 4O,304.12
Cash on hand in Bank. 40647. SO
City Bonds 100000
The notice requests all holding certiti-
Gates of deposit to present them for re-
newal. This notice is made mandatory
by law but those holding certificates are
under no obligation to present them, I'M
less they chose to do SO, as they will be
paid by the successor of the National
Bank.
The change from National to State
banks is taking place all over the coun-
try and particularly in the larger and
more prosperous states. Since 1885 there
have been an increase of 85 state banks
in New York. In Wisconsin during the
same time an increase of Al. In Illinois,
including trust companies and savings
banks the increase in a little over years
has been &C. The tendency is clearly
shown by these facts and the National
Bank of this city is simply making a move
to meet the demands of increasing bust
ness.
