The beautiful job fixed up by Cot

When the committee went after
Newlands he declined to meet them,
but sent the following letter:

A Bad Natured Crowd.

The Reno Journal gives the follows
log pen picture of the discontinued
crowd of boilers at Reno, that met
at Masonic Hall:
The convention, during the entire
proceedings yesterday, was, to say
the least, probably the most unhar-
monious one that has ever been held
in the State of Nevada. Especially
SO was this the case at the evening
session, where widest confusion
seemed to be the order and no atten-
ton whatever was shown to the con-
tinued calls for order from the Chair
man. Some of the old warehouses;
seemed to lose their heads, and
charged each other with numerous
offenses.
1t looked for a time as if a third
convention would be necessary. One
of the delegates was heard to remark
that hereafter he would Join the
Women's Suifragists, as they surely
could not be more boistrous than the
convention. The monkey and parrot
time was brought to a close after
about an hours squabbiing, Bitter
feelings exist in the ranks OF the
straight outs, and it viii require a
good deal Of cunning manipulation
to bring the different factions to
gether.
Yesterday was a red letter dag in
Republican politics, and the work
ings of the convention will 60 down
in history

The supreme court of the state of
Colorado has decided that the state
cannot collect interest from the state
treasurers in the absence of law regu-
lating that matter. This is another
blow to the democrats of Wisconsin,
for they will see in this decision the
fate of their efforts to try and prove
that all the republican state treasurers
of Wisconsin during the past twenty
five years were thieves. The Wis
consin supreme court will, no doubt
follow the precedent set by Colorado,
especially SO as the same points are in
volved and our court has purposely
awaited the decision of the Colorado
court.

will, like the Mckinley bill, 30 their own
TALKING.
Perhaps the most severe and persistent oppo-
sition to national banks is based upon the pre-
vailing opinion that banks make Oh their
circulation through the aid OF the government
double interest-on bonds and on the issue of
notes. II this were true the banks would. as
matter Of course, invest all their capital in
United states bonds whereon 70 issue circu.a-
ton. However, all the banks in the country,
with few exceptions, take no more than the
minimum requirement of bonds. VIZ: one
fourth of the capital stock for eli banks of cap
iial OF $50 600 or less. and s5oGoo for all banks
exceeding sI5o.o0o. OF $50 banks organized
during the fiscal year 1912, only four deposited
bonds in excess OF the requirements; some
banks have no circulation at ali. Not one OF
the Seattle national banks has taken one dollars
worth more bonds than absolutely compelled TO,
and each one of them derives not only no profit
from the circulation, but sustains al uuavoida-
bic loss, which increases from year to year. II
is true that, at the present lower price OF bonds.
q small proit is derived from the notes in Sec
lions OF the country where the current rates of
interest are low: where interes. Is high the loss
is unavoidable, and the higher the interest the
greater the loss. The Puget Sound National
bank, of Seattle. has lost on that account the
sum of IS 80 since its organization nine years
ago. or more than $500 per annum, while the
Washington National bank has charged loss
exceeding 5000, or about 81 600 per annum
This is strange news to the curbstone fnan-
ciess OF the third party who are loath to believe
fhis. But figures have never lied, and the fol-
lowing illustration Will fully substantiate the
shove assertion.

THE BANK SYSTEM.
Plain Facts and Figures Prove
Its Great Value.
BUSINESS OF SEATTLE BANKS.
What the National Bank Law Does for
the Country-LOsiDg Money on
Their Circulation.

''The bank 10 the heart OF the business system"
By the beating of this heart the health of q bust
ness community is best indicated, especially in
these times and this country where almost
every transaction Is recorded in the bank in
some shape or other. From inuumersble chan
nels the life blood flows into this heart, whence
II Is again distrj buted through the arteries of
commerce, creating new prosperity. Thus the
banking business of city is faithful indi-
cation OF its resources, it's growth and
progress and its promises for the future.
The progress OF our peerless city has not been
stayed. Notwithstanding financial crisis and
general ''hard times" Two years ago Seattle
had sixteen banking institutions, with a total
working capital of s2,700,000 and deposits
slightly exceeding s6Ooo,o0o There are now
twenty-one banks in Seattle-eight national
banks, seven state and private banks, five saw
ings banks and one loan and trust company,
with working capital of $3,77o.00O, deposits
of F,l0,oo0, almost equaled by the loans
and discounts, and total resources OF 81, 900.
The following tables, compiled with great
care, show the condition of each of the national
banks as reported to the comptroller OF the cur
rency on the 3oth day of September, 1892. State
and private banks are not required to publish
statements, but their statements for the same
day have been furnished through the courtesy
of the respective heads and, being confidential,
are given in total

one-tenth OF their capitsi stock. They are re-
CURED at all times to Keep on hand q reserve of
Is per cent Tin cities d per cent? OF Their
net deposits.
They are subject to q national tax of per
cent per anuura on their circulation, payable
semi annually, and are required to keep on de-
posit with the treasurer OF the United States
an amount equal TO 5 per cent of their full cir
cuIat;or for the redemption of their notes.
They have to bear the expenses incident to this
redemption and the charges for the examine
ton OF their affairs By the government of1cials
and are subject TO the full tax Of the state In
which they are located. This magnifcen. sys-
tenn OF banking which stands unexcelled in the
world, has been viciously assailed from its in
auRuration to the present day. Even now the
platforms of the Peoples and Prohibition party
openly demsnd its abolition, while the Demo
cratic platform attacks it indirectly by demand
ing the repeal of the 10 per cent. tax on state
bank circulation. While the opposition of the
first mentioned parties seems to be principally
based upon the fallacy that the national banks
derive an enormous and unjust profit from their
circulation, it is not quite clear what our Dem
ocratic friends meant by the advocacy of the
old state bank (wildcaD issues. Their candi-
date. at least, has utterly failed to enlighten
curious and anxious public upon this point by
simply ignoring the plank in his letter
OF acceptance. Regarding the system itself, it
10 ind.spusable that il has afforded greater
security to its depositors and creditors than any
other system Since its foundation 4,6iS asso-
Citations had been organized to October II, 1881,
of which 1854 have become insolvent, equal TO
about 81 per cent for a period OF twenty-nine
years. During that period the losses to creditors
OF national banks have been on an average
s533O0O per annum, indicating that the annual
average loss 10 creditors has been only one
twentieth of per cent. during the life of the
system In order to enable a comparison be-
tween this and the state bank systems, it may
be stated that according TO Brdistreefs CONNER
cicl Buietia during the year ended June 80, 1891,
III private banking institutions failed, having
liabilities estimated at s3s,o0o,00O, and assets
valuei a: $4,000. 0G0, while the total losses to
creditors of national banks aggregate only $751;
coz, 900 during twenty nine years. These figures
