Walcott had left her handbook with the
bank and the officials carried the $1,000 into
the same when it was returned After that
she drew out S100-the $50 remaining and
$40 besides. From these facts the bank
claims the $1,000 is a savings bank deposit

ATTORNEY d. S. Dorm. Secretary Beler-
man and r. Fl. Mcdonald Jr. say that tile
assets OF the bank will amount to about
100000 more than its liabilities. They
explain that the value Of the Los Angeles
electric road bonds has increased greatly
since last August. All litigation between
the electric and cable systems of Los An
geles has ceased, in fact the electric sys-
tenn has now the entire MONOPOLY of the
street railway business there, having gobi
bled up the cable system. Only one power
house instead of four is used, and all ex-
penses have been reduced to minimum,
with the prospective profits rising proper
tionally In the scale. They think the
bonds ought now TO be valued at par.
especially since the holders are hanging
On to them.
Another reason given by the gentlemen
connected with the bank named for their
belief that the bank was in a good c0nd-
ton, was that the liabilities had dim
inished rather than increased since last
August. Then the commissioners re-
ported its assets as S20S, 600 more than its
liabilities, Since that time there has been
a steady reduction of the banks inGe bted-
ness. while its securities have remained
about the same.
The usual string of people was there
Yesterday drawing on previous demands a
proportion Of their deposits.
r. II. Mcdonald Jr. is now the only one
of the McDonaids connected with the
bank. and he is, he says, preparing to re-
tire. II. w. Westubal Of the Merchants
Zee and Cold Storage Company succeeds
Dr. r. H. Mcdonald. Another change
made is the substitution of George p.
Keeney for Joseph Winterburn.

some Observations by Ira Myers ON East
ern Cities.

Soine Observations by Ira Mycr, ON East
ern Cities.
Ira Myers returned a few days age
from a trip to North Carolina. He Wis
tied many eastern cities during his alb
sence and comes home more encouraged
than ever at the prospects hat confront
Great Falls. When seen by a TRIBUNE
representative yesterday Dir. Myers
stated that the people here did not
know anything about hard times as it
exists in The east, and from what I have
learned since my return they are not
going to. l find business UNNECESSARILY
improved since l let here a few weeks
ago. In Philadelphia, particularly
said Mr.. Myers, "where 90 per cent of
the laboring class own their own homes,
l saw great distress. Great Falls has
every reason to be proud Of her pre- g
ent position and with properly directed
energy the many thousands Of unem-
in the east can be induced to
settle upon Montana's unoccupied lands
and make them productive. In my
very little ran be gained without
the active cooperation of every business
man in Great Falls. A united front
should be presented, and now is the
to strike. Yes. / am more than
pleased with the prospects before
u.s."

D. II. Langley of the Montana Central
VIII Retire Jan. 10, 1894.
The efforts of the Great Northern
officials to reduce expenses in every
possible way, says the Helena ~Independ-
ent, did not cease with the reduction in
salaries made about two months ago.
The pruning knife has been applied in
the direction of reducing the number of
men employed, and all along the line
positions have been consolidated and
officers abolished. This policy has now
reached Montana, and the hundreds Of
friends OF b. Fl. Langley, who has held
the position OF general freight and ticket
agent of the Montana Central, with
headquarters in Helena, will regret to
hear that his office has been abolished,
the order taking effect Jan. u next.
The traffic at Helena and Butte will he
in the hands of general agents, who will
keep posted on matters affecting traffic
in their immediate vicinity, while the
general office work will he transacted in
Paul. The uptown Office will be re-
tanned in Helena, but Just how large the
force will be, or who will compose it, has
not been decided. In abolishing the
office of freight and ticket agent,
General Traffic Finley expresses his re.
greet at severing the pleasant relations
with MIR. Langley ard also high appre-
OF his long and faithful services.

the big dump ia rapidly diminishing in

few months, departed on Thursdays
train for Great Falls where he has &C.
copied q position in the new banking
house OF Gold T. Curtis and others.
Mark ie a sober and industrious young
gentleman aud will rapidly rise to prom.

state.
Train service TO Barker has been tenn
porarily suspended, Thursdays train be
ing the last to visit that camp until
further orders. It is unfortunate in
deed that our sister camp should meet
with such reverses. The camp has good
mines and all 1t needs to bring them to
the front is men of means and pueh.

The MINORITY
Ex.Speaker Reed and His Colleagues
in Congress Submit a Minority
Report
On the Wilson Tariff Bill-The Gen
eral Argument Written by
Reed.
Bill in the Senate to Annex Utah
Territory to the State of
Nevada.

WASHINGTON, Dec. a3.-The report of
the minority members of the ways and
means committee OH the tariff bill has
beer sui mitted to the house. The first
part of the report discussing the bill
generally was prepared by ex-Speaker
Reed. The other members of the minor.
ity, Messrs. Burrows, Payne, Dalzell
Hopkins and Gear, prepared the por-
ton OF the report dealing with special
features.
Mr.. Reeds Argument.
In the course of his argument on the
subject, Mr. Reed says:
If, as it is asseverated, the &c, 600, OOC
Of American people have been for 30
years taxed for the benefit of a few hun
dred thousand of favored individuals,
why should the taxation be continued
even in diminished ratio for another
series of years, and these few hundred
thousand favored creatures be given a
new lease of life?
Mitigsted and Sporadic Robbery.
The doctrince of the Democratic plat
form that protection is robbery and
should be abolished is comprehensive
and sturdy. The new movement on be-
half of mitigated and sporadic robbery
Is contrary alike to good morals and and
public faith. All false p~retenses are
unwise, contrary to sound policy and
sound craftsmanship. Hence many of
us who are sure that the Democratic
platform was utterly untrue, admitted
its straightforwardness and directness.
This bill, framed by those who repre-
sented the platform, cannot receive that
kind OF praise. 1t pretends to he a rev.
enue tariff and does not raise revenue. 1t
Pretends to Give Protection,
but destroys it in every direct way. 1t
says to the manufacturer, for you we
have furnished free coal, free iron ore,
free wool and the markets of the world.
Instead of the market of the world it
furnishes in the future ii ncw crop of
enemies-the men who dig in the mines
and the farmers who raise the sheep
for it really creates what its enemies
have falsely charged against Republican
protection, a privileged class against
which the mines and the fields will both
array themselves; and the privileged
class does not care to lie thus privileged.
All it asks, on has ever asked, is to be
protected, not alone, but with all other
citizens from he destructive CONNECT.

THE LABOR MEETING.
h Sous Of Toll Enjoy Themselves with
SONG and Story.

Sons OF Toll Enjoy Themselves with
Song and Story.
Elks' hall wal filed Thursday night
with men from the various labor organ.
izations Of the city, called together un.
der the auspices Of the Trades and
Labor council for the purpose of enjoy
ing an evening of music, speech and
song and listening to discussions of var
ious topics connected with labor and
labor organizations. The program was a
lengthy and varied one and taken par,
IN by representatives from nearly all the
unions in n way and another.
President Reynolds of the Trades
Council filed the chair in an acceptable
manner. The fret number was a selec-
ton by Prot. Olsen's orchestra, rendered
in excellent style. After a few Openin.
remarks by the chair and the singing Of
the Red, White and Blue by the audi
ence, led by Aaron James, Chas. J.
Mitchell OF the A. +. of L., gave a comic
recitation, it beng a sermon from the
text, "Old Mother Hubbard went to the
Cupboard" etc, which was immensely
laughable and put the audience in a
very amiable mood. President Hoag.
land, Of the Carpenters union, gave al
address which was full of food for
thought by the laboring men, the point
on which he laid greatest stress being
The necessity and value of organization.
After another piece by the orchestra, A.
j. Thode, of the Printers union, gave a
recitation which was well delivered and
received with great favor. +. Trevillion,
alway0 q favorite, entertained the as.
semblage with a song, which was re-
ceived with b%oistrous and continued ap-
plause, insomuch that he had
to respond with an encore. j. T.
Reynolds then gave a stirring
address. urging upon the membership
OF the unions the duty of regular at
tendance at the meetings and of helping
and lifting up their fellow men who
happen to be less fortunate than they.
This was followed by a lively potpourri
by the orchestra which drew forth a
storm Of approval. P. H. Hughes of
the Carpenters union, though coming
unprepared, gave a talk which abound
cd in good things aud received a liberal
need OF appause. Il. z. Green sang a
comic song so we'll that he was called on
for another and responded with another
equally as good. n. p. Nicholson gave a
short talk, and the Smeltermen's trio,
the brothers 1'revillion. and Mr.. Hall
rendered a song in a pleasing manner, to
which an encore was demanded and
yielded. A general discussion of labor
matters followed for a short time, and
the evenings entertainment was brought
to a close by the rendition of Home.
Sweet Home" and variations by the
orchestra, and all departed in a happy
frame OF mind.
1t is proposed to mold these meetings
once a month hereafter, varying them
now and then with a social Gathering
of the w%orkingmen and their ladies'.
