The main thing in view is the reor-
ganization of the First National
Bank. Stand by Mr.. Buxton in his
work. His task is hard one and
not very pleasant, but every day he
appears to have more faith in the
situation. There is no need of dis
cussing now whether Cashier Allen
was responsible for the assignment OF
Harper Reynolds; this is not the
time to indulge in criticism Of Mr..
Alspaugh. who has been injured by
some of the men he has most be-
friended. 1t is not for us to say
whether the banks methods were not
sufficiently conservative. Those mat
ters are not of the present, but of the
past. 1t is highly gratifying to
know that the depositors of the bank
have signed the agreement relating
to the proposed re organization.
Within thirty-six hours they signed
to the extent of $4,000. This
amount and much more of the bank s
funds will, if re- reorganization is effect
Ell, become part of the banks equip
ment for the transaction of business
When the bank re "opens, trade will
feel quickening impulse and we ex-
pect to see rapid renewal of conf
dence AMI of business. We refer now
to local conditions. We are presum-
ing that Congress will repeal the COM
pulsory silver purchase law. Then
with confidence restored throughout
the nation, a stream of money flow
ing in from the vaults of Europe,
big crops harvested and our local
conditions restored and renewed, we
will look forward to rapid recovery
from the financial strlngency which
has come upon this country, partly
because of unwise silver legisla ton,
partly because of Ubiquitous tariff
laws, but mainly, we think, because
OF the era of specul alton which led to
inflated values, feverish transactions
in real estate, and an artificial slim
illus to business of various kinds.
But we digress. Let us stand as one
community or family. An import
ant work has been undertaken.
Unite and accomplish it

THE SUPREME COURT.

Our Federal Supreme Court bids
fair to become Democratic before the
close of President Cleveland's adj
ministration. There are three Demo.
Gratis now on the bench, two Of whom
were appointed by Republican Presi-
dents--Justice Field having been ap-
pointed by Lincoln in 1868 and
Justice Jackson by President Harri-
son last year; the Chief Justice was
appointed by President Cleveland in
1883 during his first term. The
death Of Justice Blatchford will leave
a vacancy which will doubtless be
filed by some New York Democrat.
The Supreme Court should be, as
far as possible, a non partisan body.
The justices should be appointed for
their eminent ability and high char
acter. Appointing man because he
is known to lean a certain way is
simply Infamous. In a Western
State man was appointed to the
superior COurb III d MINING County
because he would decide certain
litigation in favor of certain capital
lists. These capitalists with their
lawyers and political friends brought
enough influence to bear on the Gov
ernor and a corrupt maa was ap-
pointed That judge decided the
case as he was told to, but he was
afterwards impeached and is now in
disgrace.

A SOUTHERN LIBRARY.

One ofthe most valuable and in
teresting propositions connected
with Southern life. history and litera-
ture is that of the Southern Society
in New York City which proposes TO
gather a large collection of historical
and other books. The idea origi-
mates with Mr.. Hugh N. Garden who
says that he is sure, from bis CORE
spondence and intercourse with the
people in the South, that there are
hundreds of valuable hooks and
records that can be obtained for
preservation and nse in this way.
He thinks that New York, the great
clearing house and distributing
centre of all sorts Of enterprises and
information, is the proper place to
keep them, as they would thus be

100000. The dividend list shows
the banks to be nearly all in a pros
porous condition. Out of 1T only
s banks are paying less than 6 per
cent per annun; Sc are paying per
cent. per annum, 8 are paying Z per
cent, 30 are paying s PEI cent and
Is are paying 10 per cent. Some
few are paying even more.
We take it that these figures and
statesments show that the Southern
business men have been far
more cautious than Western men,
and that our financial conditions aIe
equal to those OF any other part OF
the Union. The South appears to
be stable, the crop outlook is gener-
ally good, pension expenditures will
be enormously lessened, the Sherman
silver law will soon be repealed, be-
fore many months the principal evils
of the Mckinley Tariff bill will be re-
moved, and altogether we believe
there is much to look forward to and
the future seems bright.

most available to the greatest num-
Der. A case in point was recently
noted by him. In writing on an i'm
portant financial topic it became
necessary for one of our publicists to
consult the records OF the establish
ment of the financial policy of the
Confederacy. A copy of the rare
volume containing the Confederate
laws passed on this subject is includ-
ed in the Southern Society's collec-
ton. 1t was placed at the disposal
OF the writer and rendered invaluable
service. This was only one incident
of many that could be cited. The
Baltimore Sun gave list some time
ago of the curious and rare books
on the South included in this collec-
ton. 1t attracted considerable at
tention, and was the means of send
ing further additions to the library.
Captain Garden is confident that
with more general understanding
of the scope and purpose of the
society's collection, as a part of it's
undertaking ''to perpetuate what is
best in the customs, manners and
characters of our ancestors" the re-
Spouse will be immediate and ex-
tended. That the founders of the
organization contemplated this can
be seen from the following extract
from the original declaration of the
objects of the organization:
1.-The society will gather all exist
ing books and writings illustrative
of Southern life; will endeavor to in
duce and encourage those peculiarly
cognizant of Southern traditions and
customs to commit their knowledge
of writing, that it be not lost; will
honor and promote authors who
have written or shall write upon
these subjects, and will undertake to
fix and set forth the influence of the
Southern element in the development
Of the national character The
society will not trench upon the
domain of controversial history, or
| permit the discussion or inGroduc-
ton of political or sectional differ
ences, but VIII devote itself to the

life, manners and character

PUNIsHING A CHILD.
Edward w. BOk Says II Rarely Do.
Him Any Good

[ will not say that the punishment
of children can be dispensed with in
every instance, writes Edward w.
Box in AT Home with the Editor
in the July Ladies Home Journal.
No possible rule can apply to all
cases, since every instance must be
a law unto itself At the same time
striking a child should be employed
only as the very last resort, whereas
now it is used in all too many cases
as a first. Kindness and firmness.
when brought together, form the
best basis for child's education.
Mothers should learn to control
hasty actions; fathers must allow
reason to have fuller play. The
process may seem a little more
tedious, but the result. when reached,
will be worth it all. lust antaneous
correction may seem to be achieved
by punishment, but the effect is not
lasting. Girls are shamed by it; boys
grow resentful under it. We need
only apply the lessons that come to
US in after life to this question to
reach the best solution Kindness
draws us all closer, firmpess of char
acter cements lifelong friendships;
sympathy wins us all. And as these
elements appeal to us as we have
matured, SO do they, and even more
strongly, appeal to the more respon-
sive nature of a child
A boy should never find weakness
in him to whom helooks for strength.
A girl should never find anger where
she has a right to find mercy And
as for our little misdoings in child
hood we sought mercy and pardon,
let not our children come to US, and
because we are parents find us other
than we ourselves sought and hoped
to find. AS we wished should be
done unto us at one time in our lives
so let us now do unto others, that
they in turn may likewise do unto
those who follow us.

AVARICE AND PATRIOTISM


The above is an instance of the ex-
traordinary and immoral avarice
that pervades some OF these Western
mine-owners. They look upon their
own interests and favor them alone.
1t is this class of men who are trying
to frighten the East and South
They denounce the President of these
United States. They even threaten
a revolution and would prefer to
secede from the Union. We see the
Governor of Colorado preaching
open revolution. Their speeches de-
fame Cleveland and Harrison. They
deride our statesmen.
ut is BETTER says one, chat
blood should flow to the horses,
brides rather than our national
liberties be destroyed Another
speaker asked: IF the Sherman act
be repealed what will be the conse-
quence?" Whereupon somebody
shouted: eve willwring their damned
necks." But what do these men
want? How can they be pacified !?
If the national government should
say to them: at costs you % cents
an ounce to produce your silver and
We will obligate ourselves to buy
100000 ounces a month at about
treble that cost" That is what will
stop their talk of blood and revolu-
ton. And that shows just what
kind of patriotic blood they have in
their White-metal veins.

Brfckmaking by Electricity.

From the Cleveland Leader.
Electricity promises to revolu.
tionize the art of brickmaking by
greatly reducing the amount of labor
required. Instead of laboriously
building kiln. all that is necessary
is to fit the clay into sets of iron
molds with covers which contain
1000 brick each. The covers are
fastened ON, the current applied, and
the work of burning is done in a very
short time. The covers detach them
selves automatically, and the brick
are ready to be tumbled on the stock
for sale. At this rate electricity
promises to be the greatest servant
of mankind.

Baltimore: Money shows a tend

mand has somewhat decreased, and
the supply has improved. At no
time have fancy prices been charged
by the banks here, per cent. being
the figure on loans, both time and
call. From present indications q
steady Improvement is expected.
General trade also reports improve
ment in condition and better pay
ments than in past weeks. Orders
are being received in fair numbers,
with the buyers showing an inclina-
ton to buy conservatively. On the
whole the outlook is believed some
what more encouraging.
