Tha Sfata Bank Tax.

The project of repeating the present prohibitory tax of 10 per cent on the is> sue of state banks is very hopeful movement in favor of a most welcome change ill the financial condition of the country. There need be no fear of any toleration of depreciated bank note cir culation should this restriction be re- moved. There is not a state in the Union which would authorize or allow it, and if it were attempted anywhere the facilities for collection are now so great that it would be crushed out at once. The best features of the former statutes would be preserved in new state legislation, and the natural law of SUD- ply and demand would govern all the rest of the needed restrictions.
 The tax which it is proposed to repeal is in itself unconstitutional. It is not levied for revenue, but for prohibition, and the fundamental law nowhere gives to the federal congress the right to sup press by it's action the issue of the state banks. There would follow from it's re- peal the most perfect currency for busi- ness purposes the world has ever known. Flexible in its character, redeemable at all central points, and thus always at par throughout every portion of the country, and meeting the needs of the hour in it's answer to every legitimate demand, it would prevent pressures and stringency in the money market. and in jure no one but the greedy speculator who makes his cent per cent in finan- cial crisis.-David M. Stone, Editor of New York Journal of Commerce, ill

WOMEN MAY SEE FIGHTS.
The New Orleans Olympic Considerin:
 New Plans.


 New Plans.
 NEW ORLEANS, Sep. 26.-Capt. Frank Williams, of the Olympic Club, is the authority for the statement that at the next big event before the club ladies will be admitted to section of the arena. This move was looked for some time ago, and after the recent fights it was stated that the matter would be brought to the attention of the club members.
 Capt. Williams also stated that it was the iifSention of the club to agitate the question of erecting big hotel under the name of the club for the accommodation of strangers coming to the city.
 The determination to build hotel in opposition to those established is due in a measure to the refusal of the St. Charles Hotel to allow MT. Noel, the president of the club, the temporary use of the hotel parlor for the purpose of signing the check of $25, 900, which the club gave Corbett after his victory over Sullivan.

to Consider the Matter.
 P1TTsBURG, Pa., Sep. 26--The rollers, heaters, roughers, catchers, sheermen and other iron and steel finishers, who are paid by the ton, held Sunday meeting with the object of withdrawing their membership from the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workes and taking the necessary preliminary steps toward the organization of an indepen- dent National Trades Union, to which none but workmen of their own class can be admitted. The leaders in the move ment are prominent Amalgamated Asso- clation men.
 Owing to frequent disagreemeuts with the puddlers, and unfriendly feeling over wage scale settlements, the finishers have for long time been considering the step just taken.
 This proved a surprise to the officers oi the Amalgamated Association.

Labor Not HumbugGed.

The Knights of Labor ill Brooklyn have not been deceived by the cry of protection to labor. A local union in that city has sent the following circular to other assemblies in that city and il New York:
 DEAR SIR-The attention of your organiza tion is called to the fact that the most impor. tant political issue ever presented to American wage earners is the tariff question. Loca assembly 7,212. Knights of Labor, holds that q protective tariff robs the many for the benefit of the few; that it lowers wages and deprives men of employment, and that it is deadly foe to organized labor.
 This assembly offers O cash prize of twenty five dollars to any Knight of Labor or trades unionist who can prove the contrary and re- quests a conference with your organization to arrange for debate upon the foregoing propo- sition.

Professor McCook, of Hartford, Conn,
finds in his investigation of the tramp
nuisance that of 1895 cases coming un.
der his notice, fifty-six per cent. were
American born, while but about ten per
cent. were unable to read or write. OF
1914 tramps, 459, says the professor,
claimed to be strictly temperate in their
use of alcoholic drinks, while thirty of
them boldly declared themselves as total
abstainers. 1t is more likely that the
only really temperate ones of the 1900
and odd were the thirty who never

"Ialley," where brawny Highlander
was attending to the culinary matters, he
was attracted by the savory odors of a
compound known by Scotchmen as
"hodge- podge," which the Highlander
was preparing. "What is that asked
the Prince, who was not known to the
cook. "lIodye. .podge, SIR" was the
reply. "IIow is 1t made2" was the next
question.
"Why, there's mutton intilt, anil

tion. An illustration of this increase is

increased from 9537, in 1880, to 1851,

The bluebirds they are calling.

The snow-born streams are falling
Upon the feet Of spring,
Sing sweet, oh Southland,
Sing soft oh Southland,
Ger hamlet, farm and town;
Invade the Northland,
Surround the Northland,
And pull that snowbank down.
The wee frogs wake from sleeping,
They're getting out of bed:
And thro' the cold turf peeping
The crocus shows her head.
Arise, oh Southland,
Blow soft, oh Southland,
Ger dingle, dell and down;
Go flood the Northland,
Dissolve the Northland,
And pull that snowbank down.
Go sound the cow-bell loudly;
Wake feather, fur and fin.
My brothers, see how proudly
The splendid spring comes in.
All hail, oh Southland,
Come soon, oh Southland,
And green the hills of brown;
Invade tho Nocthland,
Go smite tho Northland,
And pull that suowbank down.
