many expressions of hope for his
success. His references to Jeffer-

and expressive language But
your limited space restricts me.
At the close of this speech Presi-
dent Blair, in few we'll rounded
sentences, expressed the pleasure
felt by the teachers in having such
able speeches from the young men
and thanked them for their attend
ance. The friends of the various
contestants are standing by their
favorites, and each one of them will
rot be surprised to be told that he
is the lucky man.

curve. The train was late and
making up time, and it is supposed
that Mr. Conrad went out on the
platform of the sleeper in which be

of the car, as the curve was rounded

intended that Pickett, Pettigrew and
Trimble should fight unsupported
by the remainder of the army. de
expected "that with proper concert
of action we should ulti-
mately succeed" Lee's report
Longstreet was directed to use his
whole corps, and when he felt en-
barrassed by the Federal forces on
or near the Round Tops he was
given a division and half from A.
P. Hills corps with power to call for
more. General Long says: "Ihe
original intention of General Lee
was that Picket.'s attack should be
supported by the divisions OF Nc
Laws ond Hood, and General Long
street was so ordered" ("Memoirs OF
Lee" p. 294 See also statements OF
Colonels Venabie and Taylor, -Four
Years with General Lee" page los }
Lees efforts for concerted attack
were Intellectual. Pickett was over
whelmed not by troops in front but
by those on his fanks, especially by
those on his right flank, where Will
cox was sent forward too late to be
of use, and where he was too weak
to have effected much at best. Yet
Longstreet did not use any part OF
Hoods and McLaws' divisions to
support Pickett, or to make diver
sion in his favor, or to occupy the
troops on his flank which finally de-
feated him. These divisions were
practically idle, except that one OF
! Hoods brigades Yves occupied in
driving off the Federal cavalry
which made dash on that faIk.
Longstreet, in a word, sent forward
one third of his corps to the attack
but the remainder Of his troops
did not cooperate. And yet he re-
proaches Lee for the result"

Neither the Press nor any con-

BANKING SNciEMS.


This week there was in progress
at Chicago convention of bankers
and fnGnciers. Many thoughtful
and valuable papers were read, and
among them one by Congressman
Walker, of Massachusetts, in which
he takes ground to the following
effect:
"That my words are the words of
truth and soberness is susceptible
of very easy demonstration. The
fundamental principles Of the bank
ing system of England have stood
every shock and been justified by
eighty years of experience. Here is
one of the most successful financial
systems ever devised, as to safety,
cheapness, fexibility and abun dance.
Compared to that of the United
States, it shows our system to be ex-
pensive, rigid and uncertain. Our
system of finance, as compared with
that of England, ought to bring the
blush of shame to every statesman
who is responsible for its existence" "
The Philadelphia Times, edited
by Col. Mcclure, recognized every
where as a statesman and patriot,
says:
"Had the national banks kept in
reasonable touch with the business
interests of the people and sought
to maintain or increase their circu
lation, instead of retiring it when
it was much needed, they would
have escaped the partly just and
partly unjust popular prejudice that
now confronts them. The banks
chose to care only for the banks
and the people now choose to care
only for the people; and with the
steady drift of public conviction
against Capitalization, and agains
strained or unwarranted judicial in
terpretation Of laws, it is only logi
cal that the repeal of the tax O,
State bank notes should be de
manded.
"The single fact that during tn
last five years we have lost gold b,
exports to an extent fully equal t,
both our gold imports and our gol,
products silences every argument O
the Press. Gold has given no in
crease of circulating medium. O.
the contrary, we have less gold i
the country today than we had fv
years ago, and it will so continu
until We have products to sell tha

THIs whole panic has been sense
less, but 80 are all panics. New
York bankers saw what a good
thing the Rothchilds were making
by getting our gold for Austria in
exchange for Austria's bonds, and
thought to turn an honest penny
that way themselves They tried
to slarm Secretary Carlisle and
urged him to issue bonds, He
gave them no comfort, merely saying
that he would maintain specie pay
merts and seek to maintain all the
currency of this country on an
equality. Foiled and exssperated
at Carlisle's stubbornness, they set
to work to get up scare over the
silver act. Neither the President
nor the Secretary manifested any
great alarm, but some people were
scared, and much currency having
already been withdrawn from New
York, further demands were made
on that centre for cash. The banks
there undertook to protect them
selves, and their action brought on
the panic. In oil such cases the
banks are tie first to be in peril, and
oil over the country those institu-
tions Begin to siren CITIZEN them
selves. The aggregate deposits in
all the banks foot up probably four
billions OF dollars, while there is
only about one billion of money
The scramble of each bank to get
as much money as possible to pro.
vide against a run constituted the
second phase of the movement.
This has continued and will con
tinue until business resumes its nor
NAL condition. If that be long de-
ferred there will be a third phaze
affecting business itself. The banks
now are not lending any money
They are simply getting in ali the.
can aad holding it against any prob
able emergency. We hope that bus
iness may soon resume it's usua
course, But in our opinion Con
gress should be called together g
once. A fearful responsibility rest
on Mr.. Cleveland IN this matter.

AFTER BIG GAME.
German Sportsmen Off

A Distinguished Party Who Will
Spend Three Months Hunting
Bear and Deer in Wyoming.

A number of distinguished Germans are
in the city on tour of the coast. with the
special object of hunting big game in the
Northwestern States. They started from
Berlin three months ago. and after visit
ing the Eastern cities inspected the
Worlds Fair and then travelled leisurely
westward.
The party comprises John Ferry, we'll
known landscape painter; George Nielsen
bach, famous as the inventor of the half
tone process for the reproduction of pho
tographs; First Lieutenant Baron Fei-
litzsh. Hugo Bottle, First Lieutenant
Dietrich chamberlain to the King of
Wurtemberg), Count Max Won Zeppelin.

on their hunting trip. which they aver was
the main object of their visit to the United
States. They intend TO spend three
months in shooting bear, elk and deer, re-
turning to Europe in November. Their
combined hunting outfit forms perfect
arsenal, and they carry sufficient ammuni-
ton tn Stay all of the wild animals In the
Rocky Mountains.
The expedition is to be m AIDE under the
guidance of John Ferry, the artist. the only
member of the party who has paid
former visit to this country. BE considers
himself competent for the duties of chaper-
onage. for be spent twelve months along
the line of the Northern Pacific Railroad
two years ago. At that time he was COM
missioned to paint ten large canvasses by
the railroad company. Tire scenes were
some of the widest and most picturesque
along the line. While making his prepare
tory sketches, Ferry camped out and relied
largely upon his gun for supplying his
larder. He returned to Germany to paint
the pictures and finished his task six
months ago. The paintings have since been
exhibited in Berlin, Vienna and Munich, and
have been highly commended by the art
critics of those cities. Desiring to exhibit
the pictures at Chicago he brought the m
out with him. Although barely 50 years
of age, Fery's landscapes have already
won him fame in Europe. and he is con-
sidered the rising German painter in his
line.
After his return from the United States
the accounts he gave in Berlin of the big
game in the Northwest fired the enthusi-
asm Of the sportsmeD, who subsequently
became his companions. They are all
more or less interested in art, and the ma
jority have sketchiDg materials among
their traps. During the remainder Of the
expedition. however, art will have dis

are very enthusiastic about San Fran cisco.

MONEY Is EASIER NOW.
A Simple Method for Increasing the
Circulation of CAPITAL.

In the present period of financial strin-
gency, when so much capital is locked up
or lying idle in banks. fortunate Invest
ment is a matter for general c0ngratula-
ton. Especially is this the case when
large returns are realized from small
outlay, and particularly when it results In
placing con siderable sum in circulation.
a score of gentlemen were following out
this line OF reasoning short time ago and
resolved to back up their opinions with
practical test. AS the question was merely
one of principle they limited the amount
of the investment to the sum OF a nickel
each. Samuel Thors was elected treas
urer, and was instructed to invest the ag-
gregate Of 81 in the purchase of a ticket in
the Loteria de la Bene ficencia Pubiica.
Then these amateur political econ OmiSts
awaited results. To their surprise and
qualification they found on the day of the
drawing that their combined investment If
81 had Melted them $500. their ticket
being No. 81, 767. The amount OF their
winning was subdivided. giving each S125.
The bread they had cast upon the waters
returned to them after a few days, reward
ing each with his original contribution
multiplied 25O0 fold.
Each of the lucky investors took his
winnings, and most or all of the total sum
was soon circulating from one citizen to
another. As dollar was passed in turn
to the butcher. the grocer, the baker. the
dairyman, 1t benefited every one who tenn
porarly possessed it. The amount thus
segregated represented total circulation
of hundreds of thousands. the good effect
of which is almost beyond calculation. the
sum was taken from the safe of capitalists,
where it had been lying idle. Thus tri-
fling donation of cents. judiciously in
vested. relieved the tightness OF the money
market to an appreciate extent.
Mrs. Z. Lessig, who resides in HAYES
Valley. is very thoughtful woman. She
realizes that money boarded will not in
crease, while IL invested properly will act
as a magnet attracting other coins end
holding them in accumulation. SO she
wisely bought quarter ticket in the
Loteria de la Bene ficiencia Pubica, receiv-
ing No. $685. for which she paid 81.
Mrs. LeSsig was even more fortunate than
those in the pool of twenty. Her number
drew the second capital prize and when
she presented her ticket was promptly
paid $1,000. This snug little fortune REIN
vested with the same good judgment will
soon make her very wealthy womans
