Caprivi Will Remain Chancellor - The
Berlin Crisis Adjusted by Compro-
mise-William's Health m a Dangerous
Condition.
BERLIN, March %. = The cabinet
crisis has been practically settled by
Gen. Caprivi consenting to remain chan
cellor of the German empire on con-
ditiou that he be relieved of the duties
of minister-president of the king
dom of Prussia, and by the
acceptance of the resignation
of Count Zedlitz and Truetzschler as
Prussian minister for ecclesiastical af-
fairs and public instruction. This So
luton has been brought about by the
intervention of ex-Empress Frederick,
who appealed to Caprivi to accede to
the kaiser's request to remain at hia
post.
This appeal is said to have been
based mainly OH the condition of the
kaiser's health and the fact that he
was in no condition to face strain
that a change in the chancellor
ship would involve.
The resignation of Count Zedlitz has
been accepted. This was unavoidable.
The designations of Caprivi and Zed-
litz leave Dr. MIGUEL as the controlling
spirit of the cabinet and current report
associates his name with the premier
ship. although other names are also
mentioned. The kaiser thinks MIGUEL
Indispensable as a fnancier and
should he be appointed premier, he
would probably remain in virtual. if
not actual, direction of the financial
policy of Prussia.

How Chicago's "Boodling" Aldermen
Blod Corporations Seeking Favors.

How Chicago's "Boodling" Aldermen
Bicd Corporations Seeking Favors.
CHICAGO, March 21.-Referring TO the
grand jury investigation of "boodling"
methods practiced by members of the
city council, the Tribune calls atten-
tion to the following significant facts
which, it says, 1t is in position to
prove conclusively:
Fifty $1,000 bills were drawn from
the Illinois Trust and Savings bank
by manufacturing concern few days
after the passage of the compressed air
ordinance.
A man interested in a street railway
franchise says he went to certain
alderman to make a legitimate offer of
a large sum to the city for franchise.
The alderman said he had talked it
over with the boys and that it would
cost the company $4,000; but that the
money must go ITO the aldermen and
not to the city"
In the presence of witnesses an
alderman demanded SIS, 900 as the price
of getting an ordinance out of COM
mittee's pigeon-hole.
There is said to be from $780, 900 to
$3.50, 900 in certain hands to be paid
certain aldermen provided the mayor
signs the Yerlses omnibus ordinance.
The sum of S1,750 offered as bribe
and accepted ON the advice of counsel,
has been turned over to newspaper
by Alderman Roth to be used as evil
dence.
ut costs good deal Of money some
times to buy the city council" said an
attorney who is closely connected with
the states attorney. 1.-THE Northern
Pacific had all the worst of it in the
last three big deals the aldermen have
made. The fgyes for those three
sales of city franchises are just these:
Northern Pacific. .......................$2 $3.50 900
ECONOMIC CaS lDuUO
Compressed Air. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. ...... 10000
Those are the amounts tn, mem
bers of the council received in those
three deals, and some of them will
wish soon they had never seen a cent
of it."
A lawyer of this city when in his
cups confided to an acquaintance that
he had paid eleven ST. bills to as
many aldermen in connection with the
Northern Pacific ordinance.
An alderman said in committee meet
ing that an offer of $50, 600 ito the
city for franchise was "perpetrat-
ing blackmail upon the aldermen"
The principal evidence on which the
grand jury is working, and which is
expected to prove, beyond doubt, that
bribery entered into the granting
of the Northern Pacific franchise,
is the allegation, and the prose
cution has the evidence for the
grand jury, that on the 2sth day of
July, 1891, Alderman Powers, William
O'Brien, and another one met in the
offices of the Fidelity and Casualty
bank safety deposit vaults. They
went to one of the vaults, from
which the three above named took q
number of envelopes on which were
written the names of various alder
men. The envelopes, which were
opened by the three aldermen
while in the vault, contained a mum
ber of bills each. The envelopes wer,
taken by the three aldermen to the city
hall, where they were distributed, a
seen by the witnesses who will b,
brought before the grand jury, anon,

ments with nitro-glycerine and that
the explosion resulted, The house
was blown to pieces and ten of the
inmates lost their lives Several OF

A Remarkable Ohio Chlld's Life Was
Spent in the Cradle.

UPPER SANDysKY, o. March al
There died Saturday night at Wharton,
in the western part of the county, one
of the most remarkable of creatures,
an ''infant" aged 30 years. The child,
or young man, was the son of Austin
Borden, and during all the years
of it's life was nothing more than a
mere babe. 1t developed in no respect
and died in its cradle. 1t could neither
talk, walk, nor recognize anyone, and
was as helpless when it reached its
manhood as the day it was born. Doc
tors were completely baffied and could
do nothing, and for twenty nine years
its death has been patiently waited.

in condition in which it could not be
paid, to make the present national
banking system of the country, based
upon the bonded debt, the great mon
eyed monopoly for all time to come.
Iproceed TO prove it.
The comptroller of tho currency, in
his reporJ for 1876, USES this language;
at was shown in the report, from
the discussion in congress ut the time
of the passage of the legal tender act,
from reports Of different secretaries of
the treasury, and from the uniform
legislation since that time, that the
national banking system was intended
to be permanent. the institutions or
ganiSed under it being by the express
term Of twenty years; while it was
equally evident that the treasury notes
issued and still in circulation were in
tended to be funded"
Now, II the national banking system
was intended to be permanent then OF
necessity the bond system must be
permanent also, for the former rests
upon the latter, If you pay off your
bonds, what becomes Of your national
banksp ,You cannot have national
bank without bonds. II the banks are
permanent the foundation must be
permanent also. Hence you have en-
grated upon this government, as
another step in the great conspiracy,
the system Of permanent national
banks and permanent national debt,
t6e 6Nnks resting upon the debt; and
from the law Of self-preservation, if
for no otherreason, these corporations
will forever exert ak their powerful
and consolidated influence to keep
alive the system. To enable them to
efiectually do this the laws of congress
have placed in their hands absolute
control over the volume Of our cur
TencY.
Now, Lwill give another reason for
opposing national banks The act of
June 20, 1874, now on our statute
book, and the law of the land, pro.
vides that ANY national bank may at
pleasure reduce its circulation in
whole or In part, Thus these institu-
lions arc clothed with the right to
contract the currency at their will.
The net OF January II. 1875, kno Rn as
the resumption act, provides that they
hay increase their currency without
regard IN limit Thus there is one act
Rhich allows them them to "bear" the

MUST SHE'LL OUT.
Stockholders of fWiImington's Defunct
Bank Must Pay $4,000.

WILMINGTON, n. c., May A.
Comptroller Lacey has issued a cir
cular from which the following is an
extract.
Whereas, upon proper account
ing by the Receiver heretofore ap-
pointed to collect the assets OF the
First National Bank of Wilmington,
N. c.. and upon valuation of the
uncollected assets remaining in his
hands, it appears to my satisfaction
that an order to pay the debts of
such association it is necessary to
enforce the individual liability of the
stockholders therefor to the extent
hereinafter mentioned, as prescribed
by Sections 5151 and 5234 of the re-
vised Statutes of the United States.
''Now, therefore, by virtue of the
authority vested in me by law, | do
hereby make an assessment and re-
QUESTION upon the shareholders of
the said First National Bank of Will
mington for two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, to be paid by them
ratably ON or before the thirteenth
day of June, 1892; and | hereby
make demand upon each and every
one of them for one hundred dollars
upon each and every share of the
capital stock of said association held
or owned by them, respectively, at
the time of its failure: and l hereby
direct w. S. OBJ. Robinson, the Re-
ceiver heretofore appointed, to take
all necessary proceedings. by suit or
otherwise. to enforce to that extent
the said individual liability of the
said shareholders -
The intent aud purpose of this or
der is SO plain as to need no e1pla
nation. But it may be briefly stated
that the stockholders OF the bank
will have to pay, if they can, one
hundred dollars ON each and every
share OF the stock held by them at
the tune of the failure of the First
National Bank. It is ''pretty rough
to lose all they invested in stock and
one hundred per cent more; but such
is the requirement of the law, and
there is no help for it.
