A GOLDEN EVENT.

1t was happy thought of our es
teemed fellow citizen, NATHAN My
RICK, to celebrate his golden wedding
by reunion of the early friends of him.
self and his estimable wife.
Never before, and probably never
again, will st. Paul witness such a gath
ering as assembled at the Ryan hotel
last evening. The thread of life is too
brittle to again make possible Its repe-
tition.
1t was golden in its reunion of friends
who had known and esteemed each
other for a longer period than the av-
erage life of man. To halt for a few
hours in the Dusy whirl of life, cast
ing business cares and thoughts aside.
is procedure all too rare, The great
majority of those present had reached
an age when the world Is behind them,
and for many, perhaps most, the gol-
den bowl must soon be broken.
The event which was celebrated oc-
Cured when st. Paul existed not even
as village, but only as all obscure
outpost III the Northwest territory-a
speck upon the map. The fact that
Mr.. MYRICK's wedding journey of
four weeks terminated at La Crosse,
40 miles nearer the East than st. Paul,
and that he there found only an Indian
camp, tells in brief the development
which the men and women who as
sembled have lived TO see.
The ties which were formed in those
early frontier days, when sparse settle
ments knitted those who came, almost
into asingle family, cannot be repeated
in the lives of the active generation of
today. 1t was reunion of the past
destined soon to be the past forever.
The men and women who joined with
the host and hostess TO make minnesota
and the Northwest were present but
not all. The family circle of the old
settlers has been too frequently broken
Of late years not to have even so joyous
an occasion tinged with sadness over
the reflection that complete reunions
are impossible.
1t was indeed a golden opportunity,
fittingly eOmmemorated and destined to
rank as an historical event never to be
duplicated
The good wishes of the Family of
Old Settlers" was cordially extended to
their hosts, coupled with regrets that
the family circle is rapidly being broken
beyond restoration.

A WELCoME REsuLT.

The meeting of the stockholders of
the National German-American bank
yesterday was attended by the most
gratifying results.
HORACE GREELEY's celebrated AK
ION, The way to resume is to resume
seemed to be the animating spirit of the
meeting.
Out OF the 10000 shares of stock l6.902
were represented, and the vote OH the
proposition submitted was unanimous.
The plan is both sensible and prac-
tical. The stock is to lie reduced from
two to one million dollars.
The depositors are to receive time
certificates running six, nine. twelve
and fifteen months. drawing per cent
interest. These certificates will be sal
able, or can be used as collateral. thus
giving the depositors immediate relief
as soon as the reorganization is per-
fected.
The assets show the gratifying eX-
above the liabilities. Allowing a shrink
age of half million IN the bills receiy-
able, which is probably much too large,
the net assets will prove over million
and three.quarters above the liabilities.
The sale of the bank building alone,
which is q marketable piece of real
estate, will realize in the neighborhood
of half million dollars.
The meeting and exhibit cannot but
be gratifying both to stockholders
and depositors, and it is certainly eX-
ceedingly agreeable to the general pub
lie.
The National German-American bank
is an institution which the city and the
Northwest cannot afford to lose. Its
preservation and the speedy reopening
of its doors is contamination devoutly
desired by every one.
The solvency of the bank has been
conceded from the inception OF the diff
Guilty. There is no shadow upon the
officers or its management. The parties
directly in interest and the entire CON-
munity have the most thorough conf
dence in the integrity of the gentlemen
in charge of the business.
The prediction of the GLOBE in the
Issue containing the announcement OF
the suspension, that the bank would
emerge from its difficulty really stronger
than it was before, is rapidly becoming
an accomplished fact.

CATCHING ON.

The Litchheld Independent, which,
if we are not mistaken. advocates the
free coinage of silver at IL to l, betrays
in the following -glimmering of the
true logic of the coinage question, if the
advocates of 16 10 l are honest and sim
cere. 1t says:
Why not reduce the size of the gold
dollar 10 say twenty grains? If it were
not unjust to cut the silver dollar out of
our monetary system, it cannot be wrong
to tamper with the gold dollar. What
is sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander. If 1t were proper and right to
cut off from the debtor half his means
TO pay the debt with. it cannot be wrong
to allow the remaining half to go trihe
farther.
The GLOBE has often asked the free
coiuers why, if silver is stationary in
value and it is gold only that is OH the
move upward, they did not demand that
the number of grains in the gold coins
be reduced to point which will COM
pensate for the advance, and bring the
two metals back to their ratio before
gold began to climb. We were not alone
in this,a as we have pointed out, for Sena-
tor MILLS two or three years ago. in a
magazine article, suggested this as the
logical and only correct remedy if the
premises were sound.
1t is needless to say that we have had
noanswer. and that Mr.. MILLS sugges-
ton fell Oh deaf, because selfish, ears.
The desire of the miners is not to bring
gold down, but silver up. They wish to
make what they produce dearer than it
is. They denouDce the single gold
standard, and yet want their product
measured by it. They mistakenly think
that if the government will let them
coin it into dollars al the rate of Sl29 an
ounce and compel people to take them.
it will make the silver worth as much
as gold. Their mistake is IN surprising
that the government can do this if it
would. You can lead a horse TO water,
but you can't make him drink. The
government can say that 80 cents worth
of metal shall be dollar. but it cam
make its people part With their prod
ucts for such dollars at par. There is
a limit to what even the United States
can do.
We take it from the apparent SINGER
ity of the Independent that it, like so
many others who are advocating free
SiXteen-t0-one coinage, believes The
fundamental assertion on which their
arguments are based that it is gold that
is getting dearer. The query of the In
dependent is in the line of the only
possible hn""-' ~"tsea. it that fnpnda-

TEN KILLED.
Serious Encounter Between
French and Italian Workmen,

French and Italian Workmen.
PARIS, Aug. 17.-French and Italian
wOrkmen fought in AigueS- Mortes, de-
partment of Gard, today. The fight
begon at noon and was carried on inter-
mittently for nearly two hours.
The police made repeated efforts to
restrain the men, but were not strong
enough to restore peace. Ten men
were killed and twenty-six more were
wounded severely. A disturbance was
threatened this evening, but was PIE
vented by the police. Later dis
patches from Aigues Mortes say that
troops and police were taken from
Mines to Aigues-MorteS this afternoon
TO restore order. After the fight the
French workingmen who had beaten
the Italians started man hunt for the
OStensible purpose of DISCRIMINATING
the foreign workipgmen in the town.
They attacked with knives and clubs
every Italian that they caught. The
Italians fled from the town. and most
of those who had been in the
fight took possession of farm build
ingS and barricaded the doors.
The troops summoned to restore
order rescued them early in the even
ing, drove away the French working
men and escorted the Italians to the
railroad station, where most of the men
took a train for Marseilles. The
number of wounded is now known
to be above forty. Ten dead bodies
have been found and others probably
Will be picked up in the fields tomOr-
row. All the killed and most of the
wounded are Italians.
