He Was a Busy Man,

Speaking Of busy men" remarked the

long since who takes the rag right off the
bush. He is one Of ChicaRo's liveliest types,
and is making big big money every year /

Ing between breaths. 1 think 1 was there five
minutes. and as we talked he had o call to
give some change to one of the clerks, and
he dropped a dollar on the floor under his
desk. He made no effort to pick it up, but
kept on talking and writing.
You dropped dollar there, said nod
ding toward the bill
- know it, he replied but I haven't
time to crawl under there after il. It would
take at least a minute to do that. and l am
making right now $40 a minute doing some
thing else, and can't afford to stop for only
81 So long. Come in again whan I'm not so
rushed and with this mild hint that my in
terview was over 1 backed out and let another
man take my place"
wasn't he losing money talking to your"
INQUIRED doubling Thomas, who had been
listening.
Losing nothing, - retorted the drummer.
Il had made proposition to him on a little
deal that before noon next day had Melted
him $500. You bet he wasn't losing anything
talking to me- and the drummer looked hurt
to be thus questioned as to his veracity.

The trouble between the police and the
students OF Paris dates back for months
The students have frequently complained
TO the authorities of the unnecessary bru-
tality of the police in dispensing quiet
meetings, only to have their complaints
Ignored. On the first day of May last. it
will be remembered that the police broke
up May day celebration and brutaIly
beat two members of the chamber of dep

the republic. They must have been
flushed also by the fact that the Cham

this, as well as in the obstinancy with
which the riot was persisted in, despite
the repeated charges of the police, some
thing like a revival of revolutionary
times, when the national convention of
1893 and the Chamber of lS4S were con-
stantly invaded by threatening commit

a NatlonaI nsnk Pronositlon.

Tho comptroller 90 the currency iS be.
. inc requested to rceommcad iu his annual
report that national banks D.. permitted
20 issue notes 10 tho ul amount o. thc
bonds hold bv thom asa basil, for their
circulation IL is believed that the re-
quest viii be granted There is no reason
why 70 should not receive favorable cou-
siicuti1u from congress.
AT present national banks are per-
mIttoi TO issue notes 90 The amount of not
moro than 80 per cent. OF rhe par value of
the bonds deposited by them. When 10 is
taken into account that United
States bonds command high
premium, it. can be read
lily understood why many national
banks do not md it profitable to increase
their capital In fact. there are national
banks that have never taken advantage Of
their privilege to issue notes. When the
20 per cent. provision was incorporated in
the national banking law United States
bonds were not at "a premium and the
credit of the government was not as high
as il is now. The purpose was 10 make
every national bank note as safe as pos
sible.
The change proposed would have the
effect of increasing the amount of ma
tional bank notes in circulation many
millions of dollars. The national banks
already in existence, on the bonds now
deposited. would have the right to issue
about SIS, 0OOO 900 more in bills. No doubt
many Of them would increase their cap
ital and new banks would be established.
There are indications of a purpose to
have the national banking law greatly
modified and liberalized. 1t could be so
changed as to make national banks more
acceptable to the people No good reason
is apparent why state bonds should not
be used as a basis for circulating notes
nor why national banks should not
have the privilege of loaning money on
real estate. Such changes as these, if
hedged out by proper restrictions, would
not lessen the stability of national banks
and would tend to remove the hostility to
them that exists in some localities.

The German Army Bill.

The speech of the Emperor of Ger
many opening the new rcichstag shows
that he feels quite confident that his
bill for charging the army, which was
defeated in the last reichstag, will be
passed 1t is admitted that the govern
ment has a small majority and if the bill
is modified in some important particulars
it may receive the reichstag's approval
The emperor thinks that his army has
not grown in strength as much as that of
the other countries of Europe in the last
year. and although Germany is friendly
with all the other powers, he feels APP
parenuy that war is likely to be declared
at any time and that Germany should be
ready TO maintain the integrity of her
empire.
The army at present imposes n tremend-
Gus burden on the people. It withdraws
from the active pursuitsof life a very large
percentage OF the young men of the en-
pire, thereby lessening the earning capac-
ity of the whole people, and it makes nee
essary taxes that are paid with the great
est difficulty. II is not to be wondered at,
therefore, that an increase in the army
is stoutly resisted. The people feel that
their burden is now about as great as they
can bear.
The increase in the cost and strength Of
European armies in the last twenty-three
years has been enormous. In 1869 the
combined armies Of Europe numbered s.
100000 mon. They now number % ,24S,-
600, The annual war tax in 1869 was
$4,000, 600. Last year it was 5Sl4, 900
Geo.
In 1869 Germany had 100000 soldiers
in her army. Shenow has 100000, and
the cost % maintaining her army is near
~ three times what it was twenty-thrce
years ago.
It is not yet known how great an in
crease in the strength of the army the
emperor intends to propose, but it is very
considerable lie admits in his speech
that he will be more moderate than he
was in his demand from the laso reich
stag II is not probable, however, that
he will make any greater concessions than
he can help. He is thoroughly convinced
that o great army is necessary to main
tain the peace Of Europe and the integri-
" of his empire,

Fighting For Silver.

The silyerites are doing and saying
some very foolish things. They seem de
tcrmined to make somebody pay them
more for the product Of their silver
mines than it is worth. If the cotton
planters or wheat Growers for instance
should make as much noise and disturb
aucc when tho prices of their products
fall below the profit line as the silver
men are making the, country would be in
a state of agita ton all the time
Last Saturday the people of Creede
Col, at a meeting, adopted resolutions
asking that theconstitution be so amended
that the far western states could have
a president and house of representa-
tives of their own to legislate upon mat
ters of interest and trade. They did not
demand absolute separation, but only
such separation as would permit them to
control their own financial and CONNER
cial affairs. They have an idea that the
eastern states control the states of the
west in all financial matters, and there
fore they want to cut loose from the east.
The resolutions mean only that, as they
cannot produce silver al a profit at pres
eut prices, thlrc should he legislation OF
some sort that Will give silver an artificial
