SAWYER ON PENSIONS.

Il am opposed to any further
general pension legislation" said
Senator Sawyer this afternoon. 81
think that all has been done in the
way of general legislation for the
benefit of veterans of the Union
army that should be done at pres
ent. I feel that I can take this
stand and maintain it probably
better than any other member Of
the Committee on Pensions. For
many years l have employed a
pension expert out of my own
private funds to attend to pension
business for me. 1t has been my
good fortune to aid and largely
conduct the whole work of shaping
Legislation in behalf of the soldiers,
and all Of their most prominent
men know that | am their friend.
Therefore | feel that when | take
this stand those who disagree with
me Will not 90 SO far as to person
ally abuse me, as they might pos
sibly do with some of the other
Senators. But that makes no
difference, because I know that
am right in this stand, and I pro-
pose to oppose further general
pension legislation. 1t seems to
me that congress has gone far
enough, and a great many of our
best soldiers and the best friends
of the old soldiers have felt that
we went even too far in passing
the Dependent Pension bill. I
have never yet been ready to con-
cede that congress has gone too
far in any direction for the veterans
Of the Union armies. But l think
we have reached that period in
Legislative history when it is time
for us to say that we should not
go any further"

losses from the insolvency of nat
ional banks never fall upon the
holders of the bank notes or bills
which are secured by deposits in
national treasury and are perfectly
good anywhere and under all cir
cumstances, whatever happens to
the bank that issues them. This
is the best currency the world ever
saw, its excellency offsets a hun
dred times over any defects in the
system. During the single year
covered by the current report Is
national banks failed, but more
than half of these were small con-
Germs located in Kansas and Ne
braska, and nearly all the others
were in the south. The Maverick
bank in Boston has gone to the
wall lately, but the losses will be
small, and with this exception it
has been a long time since any
important bank has suspended.
If we compare this record with
that Of any other covering any
thing like such an amount of
money, it is conclusive testimony
to the wisdom Of those who
framed the national bank act.
Neither our railroad, saving banks,
insurance companies nor any
other monied corporations can
begin to match the showing which
Uncle Sans banks make.-Apple-

Torch of Liberty addressed the
Michigan republicans as follows:
LET Michigan ruplicans imbibe
courage and devotion to duty,
above any and all personal or pri-
vate demands, in the grand results
accomplished by their bretheren
in Ohio. Not only did they rise
up from their lethargy and wipe
the ground with so-called tariff re-
form, not only did they elect Major
Mckinley by the largest republi-
can majority since the war, not
only have they wiped out a demo
cratic legislature and insured an
honest apportionment, but they
have appropriately crowned their
achievements in returning grand
old John Sherman to represent
their state six years more. Such
are the results when that silent but
effective common sense of the mass
es is appealed to by leaders who
honestly and fearlessly advocate
what they believe to be right
Such will be the results always
and everywhere where intelligence
and education has firm hold"

THE NATIONAL BANKS.

A feeling that there are certain
defects in the national bank law
which should be remedied by
amendment has been growing re-
Gently, owing to the numerous
failures among this class Of insti-
buttons, and this feeling finds ex-
preston in the annual report OF
Mr.. Lacey, the comptroller of the
currency, who recommends a more
rigid system Of examination in
order that banks unsoundness
may be detected early and its doors
closed before the loss reaches large
proportions. And yet the national
bank system has been marvellous
ly successful and safe, as is proved
by the facts stated in the comp
troler's report.
Since the organization Of the
system, now tWenty-nine years in
operation, 4,648 associations have
been formed, of which only I64, or
about 81 per cent, have become
insolvent. Thus far this has in
volved a loss Of only SS,oS7,944
by the failure Of national banks in
the period named,
When we consider the vast vol
umr of business done by our
national banks, this is a remark
able showing, especially if we con-
slider in connection with it what
has happened to state and private
banks during the same time. In
the three years ending in 1879 nc
less than 2IO state and private
banks failed, involving a loss O
nearly tliirty-three millions, or four
times as much as the entire loss
from national bank failures in &C
years. Not only this, but the

TO THE PUBLIC.

Commencing with this issue we
begin a new feature in the publica
ton of the REPORTER. We double
the capacity and we hope its use
fullness in the twin cities. While
the paper remains the same as to
size we publish four page Of home
matter instead of two On exam
nation the reader will notice one
page contains nothing but Cen
tralia advertisements and items of
news to that city. We shall con-
tinue this feature indefinitely, and
if our already liberal patronage
continues to increase we shall de-
vote two entire pages to this fast
growing twin. We have the ut
most confidence in the future
growth Of the twin cities and would
like to have every business place
and manufacturing establishment
represented. We will make liberal
concessions on our part for the first
year so this may be accomplished.
IF you have no advertisement with
us now, why not take one? 1t will
revert to your personal interest
first, that of the cities second, and
to the publisher third. In fnan-
cial way, we do not expect that the
enlargement of our paper will be a
success the first year, but we do
expect to make it pay expenses.
In making these improvements
we will be to an expense Of $1,000.
This at one time is considerable
for a country newspaper to afford,
but as the "tWins" assume a met
ropolitan aspect, it stands the news
papers published within her midst
to properly reflect that growth if
they sink in the attempt. We
have lived. too long in the twin
cities to expect failure. They
have grown slow but sure, and
their future was never brighter.
We hereby extend a cordial in
vitation to every individual, society,
church or corporation within the
limits of the twin cities and country
at large, to send in to this office
any item Of news, whether personal
local or general, that will in any
manner interest some one. News
is what we want and must have.
Hoping that our efforts to prop
crly represent the twin cities in
terests will be appreciated to that
extent which they may deserve, we
will 60 to work TO that end know
ing that our labor will be properly
rewarded.

4 NOBLE M0VEMEMT.

the Northwestern Miller, published
in Minneapolis, in the interest of
the millers of America, appeared a
long article in behalf Of the starv-
ing people of Russia. After relat-
ing several of the most heartrend-
ing stories of suffering and famine
among the poor Russian peasants
to-day, the extent and severity Of
which cannot be even family de-
scribed, they submitted PROPOSE
ton to the mills Of the !. S. asking
them in the name of humanity to
show a sense of the benefits which
the good God has showered upon
them, by taking from their stock a
small portion to send across the
ocean to these starving people.
1t was humane, practicable and
worthy appeal a small part of
which we here append:
The millers Of America are not
dumb. They are today supplying
the world with food and they are
being paid for it. We want them
to send some Of it-just one ship
load-to those who have nothing
to pay with. We want them to
make a consignment Of 100000
pounds Of -four to the starving
Russian peasants and accept in full
payment a credit slip, payable
where all good works are rewarded
In brief, we want to see the millers
of America load 4 ship with flour
and send it to Russia. We want
them to rise to the occasion prompt
ly and show the outside world that
they have hearts as we'll as pocket
books. We believe that our read
ers will do this if we can show
them a practical way in which to
reach the distress. We think we
have found the way.
The Miller has followed this up
by communicating with the Rus
sian minister to this country, by
circular letters to their readers, and
by constantly keeping the subject
fresh in the minds of its readers in
it's following issues. By their
diligent and industrious work
accessions are being made from
every state in the Union. Already
about one-half Of the required
amount has been susceibed prompt
ly and literally and others will
quickly follow. This is charity
handled by business men in a bust
ness-like way. The state Of Wis
consin has loyalty responded and
its millers have so far donated
10000 lbs. or about 358 barrels.
On Saturday last the Jackson Mill
ing Co., Centralia, shipped their
donation of 400 pounds. Arrange
ments have been made whereby
all the through lines east and near
ly all the railroads in the country
carry transportation free. Our
representative in Russia has made
all necessary preparations tor the
handling of the flour when it
arrives so that none but the desti-
tute and needy will receive there
from. With such manifestations
as these from all parts Of the
country it is not rash to say that
in a very short time the North
western Miller will be able to an
nounce to the public that its cargo
Of $1,000 bbls. of -four is ready for
shipment, and that the mass of
people craving for food in that far
off country and stretching out their
wan hands with prayers and death
appeals towards civilization and
plenty have been answered. This
is indeed a worthy movement re-
fleeing credit to the trade and On
all concerned and especially so
upon its originators.
