Democrats Not Saying u Word About tho
Decrease of Bank Deposits.
Special to tie Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July 31.-The Journal cor
respondents is told by officers at the Treas
ury Department. that the governments bal
ances with the national banks will be less
than s., ,OOO. 600 before October. and that in
fact the total deposits of the government
with the United States repositories at the
present time aggregates less than S12, ,OOO 600.
This 10 the shortest balance account the
government has had for twelve or fifteen
years. During President Cleveland's ad-
ministration they ran up to over $50, 600, ,00o.
Some of the largest balances were with
national banks run by Democrats. and i6
was limited that o small rate OF interest
was forked over by the bankers TO make
flush the Democratic campaign fund. When
President Harrison came In he promised to
reduce the deposits with national banks.
At first the Democratic press was inclined
TO rIdicule his efforts in that direction.
They have said nothing upon the SUBJ
ject for several months now. OF course.
they will not give the President any credit.
1t is impossible to do justice to the inter-
ests Of the government. it's officers and
creditors and not keep any deposits at all
with national banks A bank could not run
without having balances with banks at
certain central points. where 1T could give
drafts and make payments. This Is true OF
the government. Then the federal officers
have to make deposits of government
money every day-cOllections of internal
revenue, customs ETC.. and the government
has adopted system of designating eer-
tain banks as United States repositories
and compelling the banks to deposit gov
ernment bonds to cover this money de-
posted with them. 1t is not q matter of
prOtit TO banks the waV the deposits are
value. and many repositories have gi7en
mp their deposits aud asked to have their
bonds returned.

WASHINGTON. July 3l.-About nine ont
of every ten Democratic in Congress will
be explaining on the stump this fall why
they did not get this or that Improvement
for their constituents in the session of Con-
gress just closing. Nearly every Democrat
in the House has promised, too, to get
measures through at the next session of
Congress which he is not only sure not to
get through, but which he will not even
try to get through. The humble and honest
voter ehould not be deceived. The next
session OF this Congress will last but ten
weeks 1t must close at noon on March
4. and it cannot convene of its own will
before tho first Monday IN December. Out
Of the session will come two weeks during
holidays Any one can count the number
of days Congress will be in session next
winter.
The fact is. about nine-tenths of the
Democrats have sat in their easy chairs on
the floor of the House during this session
and listened TO the debates. or have em-
ployed their time in making bOmbastlc
speeches They have not been at work
getting bills through of direct local inter
est TO their constituents. But they will try
TO explain away the worthless character of
their services. Half of the members in

ATTICA, Ind, July 31.-Benjamin Marlatt,
q well-known farmer in comfortable cir
cumstanccs, living four miles north of At

afternoon. For three days the confidence
men had been looking for him, and yestcr-
day one of them, who introduced himself
as a nephew of H. J. Green, cashier of the
Farmers and Merchants Bank, of this
city, met Marlatt on the road. He was
looking for 3 farm, and, as Marlatt had one
to sell, the two got into the strangers

tion. On their journey they met the
nephew's accomplice, who sprung the three

protested that while he had no money with

the box with his $1,000 and passed what
purpOrted to be the same box to Msrlatt.
The two strangers bade their friend good
bye. and departed. Marlatt returned home,
and after supper brought the box to Atiica
to deposit it. Finding the bank closed he
went to Mr.. Green's residence, and that

The Test on the Proving Grounds at Bethle-
hem the Most Satisfactory Yet Made.

BETHLEHEM. Fa., July 31.-The first
armor-plate test made on the proving.
grounds of the Bethlehem Iron Con. pany
took place yesterday. The plate tested was

eight feet by six, and weighed Is. GOO pounds.
In tempering the plate 1t was treated with
the ice- W ater process, which rendered its
surface hard and brittle. Five shots from
an S-inch rifled gun were fired at the plate,
four into the corners and the fifth into
the center. The charges consisted of Sl34
pounds of powder and 250- 0-pound Hotter
projectile. The velocity Of the projectile
was LOO feet a second. Each projectile
pierced the she'll about three inches, re.
bounded and broke into bits the size of
walnuts. Not a single crack was devcl-
0ped IN the plate.
The test was witnessed by Commodore
Folger Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance.
Davenport assistant superin tendent of the
Bethlehem lrOn-works, and the govern
ment and navy INSPECTORS. The success of
the test surpassed the expectations of all
present. Lieutenant Meiggs, late of the
United States navy, who has charge of the
shooting, said after the test:
Comparing this test with the plates OF
foreign manufacture, tested at Annapolis
last November. as compared with those of
domestic manufacture fired at in Novem-
Der last at Indian Head, there is evidently
o very material increase in ballistic resist
ance. The Velocity OF the eight-inch pro-
jectiles IN this trial was the same as their
speed IN two former trials. The five pro-
jectiles fired at each plate in the case of
the two previous trials, consisted of ono
eight-inch and four six-inch proiec tiles,
while In the present case the eght-inch
proiectiles alone were used: The compar-
,son may be best expressed by stating that
the total energy received by this plate was
25.04O foot tons, fully so per cent. greater
than the plates sustained in the two former
trials, and vet the plato is far less injured
than were the plates in tho other tests

priations as contained In tho sundry

else which threatened trouble, includ-

pass the bill. There are but two
means of escape One is to secure ma
lOrity vote on the motion to table q
pending motion to reconsider that vote. and
the other is to reconsider the vote by which
the amendments were cOncurred in. The
latter is the most probable outcome of the
