cOrding to the Detroit Free Press.
Il heard a story in New York recently"
continued the drummer. "A millionaire
there, man of about forty, had a friend of
the same age who went broke, and he let him
have 1900 for thirty days. At the end of the
time the man had disappeared and the bank
er was dead sore He felt so bad over it that
he said all sorts of mean things about the alb
sent one, but that didn't bring him back
rive or SIX years passed, and the million
alre became involved in a speculation and was
about to have the life squeezed out of him
! One morning while he was worrying himself
sick over his business a stranger came into
his ONCE. After Introducing himself he asked
the broker about the friend who had disap-
peared with the $500 The broker fired UP
and gave his friend such blasting that even
the stranger was shocked, and suggested that
he mollify his wrath and modify his opinions
BY the way said the stranger, changing the
subject I hear you are in a tight place.
The broker nodded. If l don't get $3.50.
600 by B o'clock this afternoon I'm goner
he said.
so a man told me on the street said the
visitor, and he put his hand in his pocket
and brought a slip of paper out. There he
went on, is a certified check for the amount
which I'm going to let you have to get YOU out
of the hole but before you shall have il I'm
going to give you a licking for talking so
about that friend OF yours. Get ready
THE broker was dazed by the check
and the proposition, but he threw of his
coat and prepared to defend himself. But il
was not much use. The stranger mopped up
the floor with him, and at last damned him
down into his chair in state of wreck
Then the stranger sat down and looked at
him, and the broker returned the gaze Gu
riously. A, last he stuck out his hand
" BY jove- old man., he exclaimed, L
didn't know you deserved the licking but
1 don't deserve that certified check
But his friend insisted on it and explained
how he had gone west and in lucky specula-
lions had made a big pile and had come back
to square up accounts, and that was how he
was doing it Now isn't that a pleasant story
to come out of a matter-offact place like
New York;" Concluded the drummer very

For, Of that simple smear, the mess some

OF crowded balls. OF visits to the opera;
OF smart reunions and Sleep curtail'd;
When she herself might bring youths roses

But that the dread of rOuging badly done,

Tn making appointments and promotions
ia their respective departments. Socreta-
. rIes Carlisle and Smith DO not respect the
wishes OF the republicans. and therefore,
almost daily in the republican papers they
/ see themselves spoken Of as having no
respect for the letter or spirit Of the civil
service law, and as preferring partisaus
20 efficient employees. They are sneercd
at rs reformcrs whose chief idea Of re
form is TO put partisans into Office.
10 is not TO be expected, of course, that
the republican papers will do either
Secretary Carlisle or Secretary Smith
Justice. These two members of the cab
met are singled ont for attack because
the great majority of the government
employees IN Washington are in their de
partments. There are thousands of men
and women in the treasury department,
and thousands in the department Of the
interior, In these departments changes
among the employees are frequently made
for one reason or another.
II is probable that Secretaries Carlisle
and Smith in making promotions and ap-
pointments Civ the preference to dem

why shouldn't thcy2 When the republi-
can party was in control of the govern
ment was not the preference given to
republicans in making appointments
When the democrats took control of the
government on March 4, nearly all of the
government employees were republicans,
and the majority of them are republicans
now. There is no way to get rid Of many
Of them. If there were good many
more democrats would be provided for.
The cause of the attacks upon Secre-
taries Carlisle and Smith is that the re
publicans want to hold on to all the Offices
They have held them so long that they
feel they alone are entitled to them
They regard the giving of an Office to a
democrat as taking bread out of their
mouths They refuse to recognize the
fact that their party has been repudiated
by the people
Secretaries Carlisle and Smith will sur
vive the attacks and sneers Of the repub-
lican papers. They are not seeking the
approval of the republican politicians and
place-hunters. They will administer
their respective offices in accordance with
the laws and in q manner to command the
approval of the people. The favors they
have at their disposal they will distribute
among democrats.

Col. stanton,e Robbery.

A good story is told by Colonel Sam Stan
ton, OF Ste. Genevieve, on General Joe Shell
by, veteran Of many battles during the late
war, says the st. Louis Republic During
the democratic state convention in Jefferson
City last summer said Colonel Stanton,
General shelby was on hand, a most
thoroughly interested spectator While the
excitement was high and the weather was ex-
tremely warm the general was meeting old
friends and making new ones in one Of the
hotels. While holding reception he was
introduced to gentleman named Trigg of
BoOnVille. The general heard the name and
repeated it several times before he spoke.
Are you related to the Mr.. Trigg who
kept a big store in Boonville in 1902 he
asked. The BoOnville man answered that
the Mr., Trigg In question was his father
Then, to his surprise, General Shelby said:
1 robbed your fathers store in 1852 When
the Boonville man recovered from his sur
prise General Shelby explained that his
army had cleaned out the store when it in
vaded that town about the middle of the
war"

1t is one of the anomalies of modern
politics that Russia, despotism should
seek and, apparently, obtain frien lships
with republics. 1t is pretty generally
understood tha5 France and Russia have
an understanding with each other for
mutual defense, and possibly also for con-
certed hostile operations. The other
strong friend of Russia among the great
nations is our own country, the most
democratic government extant There
are eogent reasons for a compact between
Russia and France; their alliance is to
Offset the strength aud menacing position
of the Triple Alliance. But what is
there to draw together two such extremes

Savannah's Banks.

The semi-annual statements of the
banks of this city have been published
within the last day or two, and it is
pretty safe to say that no previous state
ments were so closely scrutinized and so
generally commented upon by their stock
holders and others interest in them
The statements bear. out the assertion
that has been frequently made that Sa-
vannah's hanks are as solid as the best
financial Institutions in the country
As general thing banks are spoken of
as being distant from and rather hostile
to the people. As a matter of fact they
represent the interests of all classes of
people That this is 50, the most ignorant
should know The money loaned out does
not belong to the government, nor TO the
bank directors, nor To any particular class.
1t is composed of the earnings of the
masses, the deposits of business men who
temporarily have 10 use for their money,
and the capital which also represents
earning and savings of the people
A bank is place of perpetual exchange
of money. Its patrons are all the time
deposting their money with it or borrow
ing from it. 1t is the duty of a bank
manager to see that tho banks debtors
are able to pay their debts. and that de-
positors don't overdraw their deposits
Sayannah's bankers appear to understand
their duties very well. They succeed in
retaining their depositors and in keeping
their borrowers. Hence Savannah's
banking institutions have been uniform
~ prosperous.

The great newspapers of America and
England find themselves under theueces-
sity of taking off their hats and bowling
to little ''one-horse" paper away down
in Buenos Ayres, in the Argentine Re
public For the little South American,
La Nacion by name, secured a scoop" on
all newspaperdom by publishing the news
OF the disaster to the war ship Victoria
off Iripoli, whole day ahead of every
other paper The dispatch TO the British
admiralty lay unopened in the admiralty
ONCE, London, for Helve hours after it
was received; and that was the dispatch
that gave England and America their first
news. However, a friend of La Nacion
somewhere along the telegraph route
heard the big item being licked off, and
''stole' the news and cabled it at once to
Buenos Ayres. Thus it happened that
enterprise was discounted by good luck.

can open and above board crank, " says
the Griffin News and Sun, ''once he be-
comes known, ceases to be an object of
attention, much less suspicion" This is
in reply to the MORNING News query as
to whether or not the partisanship of a
host of political cranks warranted suspi-
Cion of the free silver movement. Nor
cross who tried to dynamite Russell
Sage, made no secret of his mission when
he demanded free money to the amount of
some millions, yet close attention was
paid him. Spies, the Chicago anarchist,
was an 'open and above board" crank,
yet he was regarded with suspicion until
he was hanged John Most is another
crank of the same kind, yet he is contin-
ually under the police eye. AS to the po-
litical crank with tendencies to anarchy
or socialism, Gov. Lewelling, of Kansas,
has never ceased to be an object of inter
est since his nomination. Mrs. Lease, of
the same state, has also been watched
pretty close. So have Simpson, and PefR-
er, and Osborne, of Kansas, Pennoyer of
Oregon, Waite of Colorado, and George
Francis Train, of the world So far from
cranks dropping out of the public mind as
soon as they become known, the fact is
that the more cranky they are, the great
er is the suspicion with which they are
regarded. Does our contemporary re-
member that away back yonder about the
beginning of the seventeenth century a
gunpowder crank by the name of Fawkes
did something to attract the attention Of
England! Well; the English people are
to this day so suspicious of Guy Fawkes
that they regularly once year go on a
search for him with lanterns. Soyou see,

How to Raise the Price of Silver.
From the I1bilada1,,b;o T2ecord Tlay,N

The best way for the silver producing states
to meet the decline in the value of their
product would be to drop silver for the time
being and turn their attention TO gold pro-
would limit supplV, and bv increasing The
gold output they would add to supply. This
IS the only way in which the relative value of
the metals can te changed in the direction of
making silver dearer and gold cheaper. This
is possible way. 1t can't be done by inter
national conferences nor by statutory reguia-
tlon OF any kind. Happily for mankind, the
power Of fixing the prices of things has been a
reserved power which neither syndicates,
potentates nor parliaments can permanently
disturb or overturn.
