No Wild Cat in 1t.

An exchange says that some peo-
pie profess = great deal of apprshen-
sion lest the old State banks should
be re-estahlished as consequence
oflate sweeping Democratic victory
on platform demanding the repeal
of 10 per cent prohibitory tax on
those institutions. No Democratic
speaker or newspaper during the
late campaign advocated the re es-
Establishment of the old system of
State banking, nor was that the in
tention of the committee which
framed the platform or the Conven-
ton which adopted it. But it was
every where stated that the general
Government had no legitimate right
TO utterly destroy a purely State
Legislatures should have the right
to say what rate of taxation should
be paid by State banks. and il the
general Government can and will
furnish better and cheaper and
safer circulating medium than the
States can devise, the people will
certainly use it in preference. I'm
der the operations Of such an eco
nomical and business-like admins
tration as the country has the right
to expect at the hands of the Demo
cratic party, the National debt will
be paid in a very few years, and the
basis for our National banking sys
TEN wiped out. 1t ia therefore prop
er and right that some system to
take it's place should be devised ard
perfected, and the people will bs
benefited by bringing the general
Government into competition with
the several State governments.
There is really no occasion for
alarm. The Democratic leaders
have just had an object lesson in
the facility with which the people
can and will assert their preroga-
tive and tura their affairs over to
jther hands If their chosen servants
fail to properly administer their

Nsllie Hathorn, % years of age,

The affair set the tongues of the
gossips wsgging, and the meetings
came to the ears of Papa Hathorn.
He forbade his daughter ever meet

of Capt c. G. Hewitt, of the Nine
teenth U. S. Infantry, who was as
signed to duty at Camp Blannerhas

ut was observed that the First
regiment, which was organized two
years earlier than the Second, had
older and more matured men in it
than the Second and consequently
they stood tue excessive heat dur

The Repeal of the Tax on State Banl
Notes.

A correspondent is Informed that
The State bank plank in the demo-
cratic platform criticised by repub-
lican orators during the campaign
just ended, proposed merely the re-
peal Of the law which imposes a tax
Of 10 per cent on the notes issued by
State banks. This tax was imposed
to stop the issue of State bank notes
in the interest Of the National bank
ing System. The idea was to make
. market for government bonds By
allowing only banks holding gov
ernment bonds to issue notes This
idea helped by the tax of 10 per
cent. on State bank notes, was sue
cessfui. The national banks bought
government bonds to base their cir.
culation upon and State bank notes
were taxed out of existence There
are objections to this. One is that
in being deprived Of the use of State
bank notes the people are deprived
of useful local currency, which ex-
pands and contracts according to
the varying needs Of people, A
second objection is that government
bonds are not the only solid security
upon which to base the issue Of
notes: there were issues of good
State banks notes-good SIS gold
long before government bonds were
made The only lawful security A
third objection is the inelastic quail
ity of the national bank circulation.
This circulation does not expand
when there IS increased demand for
money with good collateral, but on
the contrary contracts at such times
with the result OF producing finan-
Fcial panics. Some financiers have
called the existing national bank
ing system "a regular cyclone breed.
err A forth and leading objection
to the existing system is that the
national bank notes are steadily de-
crossing 10 volume, owing to the re
demption Of the bonds on which
they are based, and must after a
few years disappear altogether. On
October l, 1881, there were 2,132
national banks with an aggregate
circulation of 1920, 100000
1t was with this inevitable con-
traction of the currency in view
that the democratic platform, sec
onded by tue leading financial journ
ais of the country. favored the re
peal Of the 10 per cent. tax in order
to permit again the issue under prop
er restrictions, of State bank notes
Before the civil war there were
State banking system that were as
safe for the note holding as the ma
tional system is and great deal
more elastic. There were other
State banking systems that were un-
safe-"w wildcat Tie proposal is to
sanction the issue of State bank
notes, but under such regulation
and rapid inspection that their
notes will be perfectly safe. Under
such a system banking facilities,
will be, it is thought, brought within
the reach of the people to greater
extent than at present and the vol
ume of currency will expand and
contract, according to the VARYING
needs Of borrowers with good col
lateral, much more freely than now.
In word, the change from the ma
tional banking system which is in
evitable, win also, it is believed, be
safe snd advantageous.

The idea is com mendable. but the

Come Down with Rates.

The topic nowadays among rail-
road managers is, What shall the
rate be to and from Chicago during
the Worlds Fair?" The Chicago
managers have sent out = feeler in the
way Of offering y 33a per cent redac
ton from regular rates. At late
conference of the magnates in New
York 20 per cent. rebate was sug-
gested as being equitable alike to the
excursionist and the road. The OBJ.
ject. of this early discussion OF the
question is manifest. 1t is purely
to test the temper of the people and
evoke editorial comment 1t is ridi

dactions. The quotient of the regu-
lar and governing rates of 1892 d.

Fred Jonas was instantly killed

The accident happened in the eve

and Miner had been firing the mor-
tars which are blocks Of steel with
q hole four or five inches deep and
about the same diameter bored out.
They were using three mortars, Jon

what bad happened; he forgot about
his mortar in his excitement and ran
up to pull Jonas away. In doing so
be put bis foot on his mortar Just as
it went off.
Jonas was killed instantly and was
horribly mangled. A hole two inch
es big in his breast exposed his heart
to plain view. His chin was blown
away and his left eye was gone.
The terrible disaster created great
excitement at Ellenboro and broke
up the demonstration. DR.. Harris
amputated Miners leg which was al
most completely blown off. Miner

Jonas lived at Oil Spring near Pc
troleum and had gone over to Ellen

1t is a remarkable fact that nearly
every demonstration this season has
been attended with an accident of
some kind. This unfortunate affair
is about the worst that has been re-
ported.
Frank Miner, who was go badly
injured has since died, making two
deaths as the result OF the iolliti
