CHARLES J. Foss, of Honeyford. N.
D., will find some of his questions
answered in the above. The circula-
ton of the national banks is protected
by the bond security, and no reserve Is
held against it except a small percent
age i'll Washington for redemption of
mutilated bills. The ordinary reser We
of banks against deposits is % per cent,
which, in times like the present, is in
creased for safety, and in flush times is
increased for want of inyestment.-Ed I

common human impulse to seek appro-
baticn even at 2 ersenal risks. This has
nerved many man to face danger vino
would otherwise have avoided it. 1t
was this that made CUSTER send his
command to their death, and, during the
war, caused the sacrifice of MANY lives
needlessly on many occasions. 1t is not
probable that the fire marshal knew the
danger he sent his men into; did not
know how far the fire had eaten into the
shell beneath; but it is probable that he
was willing to take some risks for the
sake of the plaudits Of the crowd.
Ii the statements relating to his dis
regard of warnings can be substanti-
ated, his brutal trea tmens of the inform
ants, his refusal to look for danger
when his attention was directed to it,
then clearly he is responsible for the
needless sacrifice of human life there.
and he should have all the punishment
the law awards to such crime.

MARION, Ind, July 19.-The national

Workers union this morning adopted
the bounty plan for fighting nOn-union-

The bounty plan Is practiced success

scrlption ware committee reported this
morning, recommending no change In
the wage scale. The press ware scale
was continued unchanged, notwith-

advance, the convention becoming con-

Conference of Creditors to Ar
range Matters.

NEGAUNEE, Mich, July 10. Judge
Burke, of the Cleveland ore commission
firm of Corrigan, Ives & Co., now
in the hands of a receiver, claims
that Ferdinand Schesinger owes
the firm S27O0OO, which Schleslnger
says is $70,060 above the real figures.
Burke also says that the Buffalo Min
ing company owes them $4,000, 900.
which is palpable mis-statement. In
ventorles of the mine and other prop
erty of the company were completed to-
day and place the value at $3.50, 600, the
attachments being less than So. 900
Representatives of COrrgan, Ives IL Co.
and other creditors will confer with
Sehlesinger at Milwaukee tomorrow.
All his mines i'll the upper peninsula
are embarrassed for cash. even the
checks of tine various companies hav-
ing gone to protest. The result of to-
morrow's conference will probably set
tie the future of the Schlesinger SYM
dictate. Their mining interests i'll this
district are probably worth 100000 900,
and in an ordinary season the present
embarrassment would be only tenn
porary trouble.

A PARALLEL CASE.

There were thousands of Democrats
up North who, thirtY-five years ago,
supported the institution of savnry be-
cause, as an abstract proposition, they
believed 1t was a state matter, which
each state must regulate for itself and
with which citizens of other states had
no concern; certainly no right to inter-
fere. When, however, the South, scent
ing danger i'll the growth of the anti
slavery sentiment in the North, decided
to secedb and fight for a separate ex-
iStence so as to secure their peculiar
Institution" from interference, these
thousands of Democrats said that that
was going too far, and, when it came to
blows. Joined in the preservation of the
Union and the abolition of slavery.
The silver situation is parallel case.
Thousands of men have been persuaded
that silver has been miStreateu; that it
ought to be as good as it ever was and
as good as gold, and they sympathize
with the efforts of the miners to restore
it to its former position. But when the
miners talk about seeding from the I'm
ion to preserve the value OF their silver;
when the governor of state talks
about blood running to the horses bri-
dies" when they burn the president in
etfigy because he is opposed to making
the whole people pay them more than
their bullion is worth; when they make
it plain that all they want is to get
more, by legal cOmpulsion, than their
product is worth, while all the rest of the
producers are glad to get what theirs is
worth, it will open the eyes of these
sympathizers, and, like the Democrats
of generation ago, they will say that
this thug has gone too far, and you can
count us out.

RATES Go DOWN.
A Cut OF Fifty Cents Today's
Meeting.

Meeting.
CHICAGO, July 19.-The rates be-
tween Kansas City and Chicago and
Kansas City and St. Louis will. begin
ming tom rrow morning, be cut so
cents each, the Kansas City-Chicago
rate going to SS.75 and the Kan
sas City-St. Louis rate to $3.50.
These rates are for one way only.
The cause of the general reduc-
ton Is ill the action of the Alton
road which informed the Western Pas
senger association that the through
rates were being used by the brokers to
the decentralization of the general bust
ness. The Rock Island was getting
much the best of the business between
Kansas City and Chicago, and the Mis-
souri, Pacific the best of it be-
tween Kansas City and ST.
Louis. The Alton declared that
in its opinion the scalpers were
fattening at the expense of tue public,
and the only thing to do was TO put
down the rates. Efforts were made to
induce it to change its position. but they
were fruitlesS, and then the other lines
did about the only thing left for them
they climbed INTO the band wagon and
agreed TO make the same rateS-and the
new tariff will go into effect tomorrow
morning OH all lines.
Tomorrow the Ohio River and South
ern lines will meet to discuss worlds
fair rates and while the Southern lines
are not anxious for a reduction, the
Ohio river roads are uneasy and all of
them are fig urlng for low fares.
