Panicky DepositOrs Not Wanted.


We note that requests canceliinS rotices
of Withdrawal are now pouring in upon the
savings banks of the city almost as rapidly
as the notices did a short time ago. At
several of the banks yesterday the state
ment was made that more than 60 per cent
of the depositors seemed to have showed
this indication of restored confidence. But
many OF the banks desiring to show how
independent they can be-now that the
danger is past-say they do not care for
these panicky depositors. These persons
are simply told their accounts are not de-
sired. The banks discriminate particularly
In the direction of their less desirable de-
positors. Some of the banks which awaited
themselves of the thirty or sixty days no.
tice have quietly made a list of the dates
when notices of Withdrawals were made
and have notified depositors in turn that
they can have their money at once by call
Ing at the bank. On receiving their notice
many depositors conclude to let their mon
ey remain, and are surprised in some in
stances to learn that their patronage is no
longer wanted.

That the sentiment Of the business men
Of the country, those who are In a position
to best know the country's financial needs.
Is strongly In favor Of the prompt repeal
of the silver purchase law has been shown
In a marked manner by the general re-
Spouse made to the suggestion from the
New York board of trade and transporta-
ton that some expression be given to the
views Of the commercial bodies of the
country. Only one of the thirteen hundred
bodies addressed opposed repeal. and this
was the Denver Chamber of Commerce, an
organization that Is naturally in sympathy
with the silver men, As a result of the
correspondence the New York board has
called a convention to assemble here Sep
TENDER u. and 1t is expected that two
thousand delegates will attend. Aside from
urging upon Congress the business neces-
sity for the immediate and unconditional
repeal OF the Sherman law. the convention
will advocate the appointment of an expert
commission to consider the future financial
needs Of the country. Its work viii IN
doubtedly be of value to Congress In its
deliberations, for it will present to that
body, in an effective form, the testimony
Of the business men in every section Of the
land. Washington will extend a hearty
welcome to the convention.

To an Esteemed Contemporary.
From this mornings Congressional Record.


From this mornings Congressional Record
Brave was he. Mr. Speaker. as the slug
gard who was told to go to the ant.
What. go to the ant" said the sluggard;
What a waste of time that would be:
To my picnic I'll HE and sit down by my
And there let the ants come to me-"
Great laughter)
The above verselet reproduced from a
speech by Mr.. Pence Of Colorado appeared
some time ago in this department of The
Star. 1t has long been held that while the
Record was good paper In most respects
1t needed Frightening up a bit by the in
fusion of a little genuine humor. But the
newspapers of the country already show
that this and other remarks are being
extensively quoted as original with Mr..
Pence's department of the Record. The
affable but sternly practical Baltimore Sun
thinks that 1t should have been prose and
50 presents 1t to its readers. Passing over
the rebuke that F change Editor Pence
may deserve for his frivolousness it Is but
common candor to point out to him that
his course in the present case is neither
moral or judicious. 1t is pleasant to note
an effort on the part of the Record to keep
up with the times, but a paper of its dig
nifty should not follow the practice pursued
by the Blimville Hooter, and the Chicago
Evening Post, and Demorest's Family
Magazine and several of the religious pub
lications, of placing before its readers, as
original matter borrowed from The Star.
1t Is not agreeable to be obliged to speak
severely to the Record, but If it wishes to
be known as a truly great newspaper It
must not do things like this. Members Of
Congress desiring to have original speeches
written for them should make their ar
rangements in a less public and promiscu-
Gus manner.

Atlantic City has many attractions, and
the facilities for reaching the gay resort
are constantly Increasing A man who ar
rived there last night seems, however, to
have taken an entirely new route.
He was washed UP by the surf, and ac-
cording to dispatch in The Star today,
told a thrilling story Of having been kid
naped when OF New Haven IN a small
boat. and then escaping at sea from the
schooner on which he was imprisoned. 1t
Is not often that a castaway is so lucky as
to be washed up on a shore where there
are hundred hotels ready to accommodate
him and bands of music to receive him.
Nor Is IL often that seaside resort is so
lucky as to secure genuine castaway for
an advertisement.

whisky Demands Protection.
From the Wine and Spirit Gazette.


From the Wine and Spirit Gazette.
The astute Col. Henry Watterson. the re-
nowDed author of the Star-eyed Goddess
wants the government to come to the re-
lief of the distillers by purchasing and stor-
ing their surplus product. And why not
surely? Why not take the whisky from
the whisky producers well as the silver
from the silver producers? If one industry
is to be stimulated and protected why not
the other? Indeed, the argument in favor
of whisky is even stronger than this
Whisky pays upwards of $50, 10000 annu-
ally toward the support of government
while silver pays nothing. Then again
whisky is safer. because IL improves and
increases in value with age, while there is
constantly depreciating. By all means the
government should prefer whisky to silver
or at the least, should treat 1T with equal
generosity.

truction of nearly two hundred millions in
property and rendered homeless about one
hundred thousand persons. Three years
later as many as six hundred houses were
burned in one day, because matches were
carelessly handled. Yesterday a few boys
were roasting potatoes out doors and per-
mitted the embers of their fire to scatter in
the wind. By and by, as brick succeeds
lumber, there will be fewer such disasters
and it would seem as though Chicago did
not need any more expensive tuition.

THE SOUTHERN TRUCKER.
Every Month In the Year Brings Its Owl
Peculiar Seeding Time.

Every Month In the Year Brings Its Own
Peculiar Seeding Time.
The contemporaries has more to
contend with than five times over in
raising and marketing crop than this
northern brother. The northerner has
but one season to plant his garden
crop, while in Florida there is some
thing to plant nearly every month in
the year. But all things have their
seasons and it has taxed us hard to find
the precise time to plant the different
varieties of crops, and we have not
been able to master the knowledge yet.
Northern people have an impression
that we can plant anything at all sea
sons of the year, because of mo hard
winter weather, but find their mistake
when they come here and try it, Every
month in the year has its own peculiar
time at which some seeds will propo-
gate and do well, but not all varieties
of seeds. The southern planter has
so many hinderances in the way
that it seems a wonder he
does not give up in disgust
which very many were on the point of
doing last spring. Causes for discon-
tent are numerous, poor seed and high
prices for the same; the extortionate
railroad and transportation rates, and
the shameful treatment OF the commits
sion houses, combined with dry sea-
sons, wet seasons and cold frosty sea-
sons, has nearly bankrupted the truck
grower. But these things will all be
remedied in time; all new countries
have their drawbacks and inconven-
fences which take time to overcome,
and there is but one way for the people
of Florida to overcome some of the
evils; that is in cooperation; they must
organize and make laws and support
measures for their own protection, as
we can never succeed in marketing our
products profitable until some such
measure is taken. The Florida
producer must plant more grain
and produce more food for home
consumption and buy less from the
north. Thousands of dollars are sent
every year out of the state for hay,
grain and pork that could just as we'll
be produced in the state If the people
would once decide to do 1t. Let us
