The panic which is running over the
country is exactly like the Indian scare
in the early Cos, with the exception that
the Indian scare injured DO one while
the present panic is iniuring every one
by depressing business and is wiping
away fortunes. There is just as much
reason for the panic now prevailing as
there was for the Indian scare. There is
no bank in the world which can pay all
It's depositors If all call at once. If O
farmer has mortgage on his property he
is not expected to pay it on demand. Not
one in a hundred could do so.
A run was made on Chicago bank on
Monday. 1t was the Illinois Trust and
Savings Bank. They were prepared for
it and placed seven tellers at seven win.
dows. When the time for closing came
the bank remained open. All through
the night it remained open and the Presl
dent announced that 1t would remain sc
until every man was paid. The certif
Gates were not due until July l and the
bank saved $4,000 IN interest due. The
depositors threw that much away in theil
| fright.
At Madison farmer was refused {
loan of $500 at the First National Bank
He went home and reported that the
bank had no money to lend. This caused
a rush the next day and the next but the
bank stood it all right.
Together with breaking the banks this
frenzy of fear has paralyzed business
There is no money with which TO dc
business. 1t is slowed away in secret
places and burglars and foot pads will
soon reap harvest. They will not miss
the opportunity they now have and will
quit breaking safes for the less danger
GUS and more profitable business of ''go
ing through" people who have money
slowed away.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has semi-offi
cially announced that an extra session OF
congress will be called some time be.
tween the LIST Of September and the 10Th.
The chief question to be considered is
the financial troubles of the country.
The withdrawal of gold is regarded as
the origin of the panics through which
we are passing. They are aggravated no
doubt by the reckless speculation ard
the loose system of credit which have
prevailed so long. Purchasing silve r
and paying out gold for it, gold leavir g
the country and the silver remaining un-
called for, create degree of stringency
which cannot fail 10 be felt The repeal
of the Sherman law would be opposed
by silverites but the interests of the
country demand 1t.

IRE attitude OF the people of the Unit.
ed States toward pensions should not be
misunderstood. The soldier who is er.
titled to pension should have one and
Il should be sufficiently large to meet his
eeds II he is lncapacitated from labor No
matter from what 1ause. But the pension
Is designed to protect the soldier from
want, not to be made a source of acouir-
ing wealth. There are many soldiers IN
this country who have seen hard service
behalf of the country and who are TO-
day IN rather poor circumstances-not
reduced to want, hut requiring hard man
uil labor to keep want from the door. It
Is the governments duty to assist these
men. 1t is implicitly pledge to do SC.
The people would cheerfully sustain the
goTernment in aiding these men even
though some technicality stood IN the
way.
On the other hand there are men in
this country who are receiving pensions
50 far removed f,om want that the pen
sion is subsidy which swells the bank
account. The granting of pensions to
the last named class has brought the
business into disreputs and is a bar to
pensions being granted to those entitled
10 them by services and by present needs.

NOTES FROM MISHICOTT.

Work on our public highways is being
begun.
MIR. c. Hoist went to Chicago one day
last week.
Mrs. Mary Dvorak recently of Chicago,
has returned to her home.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. Heyroth of Manito-
voc were in the village lately.
Thomas Wagner is In the village visit
ing friends and relatives. He is engaged
IN farming in Colorado. The climate
seems to agree with him and he speaks
highly OF that region.
The report that the State Bank at
Manitowoc had closed it's doors, has
caused quite a gloomy feeling among
those OF our business men who did bust
ness with them. But no losses have been
80 severe as to cause any suspension OF
business at this place.
Chas. Levenhagen's dance, on Sunday
last was complete success. The crowd
was large and remarkably orderly. Mr..
Levenhagen may be congratulated on the
successful issue Of his enterprise. The
hall is not yet complete, but so much
may be seen, that when it is finished it
will be structure worthy of Mishicott
and we'll comparable IN all respects with
any of its kinu in the county.
The wooded regions sup river" ale now
putting On their summer coat of varying
green. The scenery along our river Is
beautiful and can be fully appreciated
only when seen. City people desiring a
quiet nook wherein to spend few sum-
mer months boating fishing or riding
could find no more appropriate re-
sort than that afforded by the village of
Mishicott and its Immediate vicinity.

SURROUNDING COUNTRY.

The Phoenix Iron Works OF Sheboygan
Falls failed last week. B. & II. Sanford
were proprletors.
The First National Bank of Madison
in which Senator Villas is heavy stock
holder had run made upon it on Mon
day.
The Exchange Bank of Gladston g
made an assignment on Saturday last.
The suspension was due to the Plankin-
ton Bank failure.
Levi Hanson, a Rock county 16-year-
old-lad robbed his uncle, farmer with
whom he has been living, OF $1,000. The
money was taken May 20 and the uncle
did not know of its loss until last week.
The boy was arrested but only $500 of
the money was recovered. He had either
spent or given away $1,000.
At little town near Lancaster, this
state, three men we're seen last week Dig
ging hole near the banks of creek,
Some boys went to work to find what was
concealed and on digging down found q
corpse badly mutilated. One OF the men
who concealed the corpse states that it
was sent him by his son who is medical
student, with Instructions to bury it, the
purpose being to dislnter it at the end
of three years and articulate the skeleton.
The failure of the Plankinton Bank OF
Milwaukee on Thursday last startled
people as the bank was considered safe.
An examination soon showed that its
methods OF banking were such as to in
sure failure should a period OF panic en-
sue. 1t had loaned $29O,000 to Frank A.
Lappen whose business methods, when
exposed were sure to result IN disaster.
It's president was a borrower from its
funds to the amount of 100000. The
latter is we'll secured but money could
not at once be obtained on the securities.
The Lappen estate will not pay much
more than % cents on the dollar.
Depositors drew out about 100000
from the bank. There remained on de-
post when the bank closed about 81 ,0OO,-
600. There is no doubt that depositors
will be- paid every cent due them, but
may be subject to the inconvenience Of
waiting FOR the money for some time.
The failure of the Plan kinton caused a
slight run on the other banks, though it
am ounted to nothing except in the case
of the Commercial. This is the deposit
DRY of the county and it has county funds
to the amount of $4,000 on deposit.
Business men in Milwaukee see nothing
alarming in the failure OF the Plankinton.
1t is only the smaller deposltors WHO
drew from the other banks ard many of
these returned the amounts drawn out.

STATE BANK FAILS.
On Monday Just near the close of bank

On Monday just near the close of bank
ings at the State Bank. Business men
who brought in their money received
during the day were told by the bank
officials that they would not accept it,
as the long continued run made upon
them made it uncertain what the outcome
would be. With this knowledge came
the certainty that failure was to follow
and several succeeded at the last minute
In getting their money out When the
hour to close arrived the curtains we're
drawn and the coming and going OF Off
Gals with the occasional entrance OF a
stakeholder, director or lawyer made it
certain that steps for the permanent
closing of the hank were IN progress.
The news few like wild fire and it was
the whole topic of conversation on the
streets. At nine o'clock On Tuesday
morning the four corners OF the streets
were lined with people. Soon little
placard was placed upon the door which
read as follows:
Owing to a run on this bank which has
continued for three weeks, its officers
have concluded to make an assignment
for the benefit of all it's creditors. This
has accordingly been done and the Presi-
dent of the bank, G. G. Barnes has turn
ed oyer his private means and property,
including his homestead, to be used for
the same purpose.
! J. w. BARNES, Assignee.
| The causes which led to the failure are
numerous. The basis of all was the pan
icky feeling which is general.EThe excit-
ing causes were probably many. The
fact that the factory was unable to get
money was SO generally known through
out the county that it called attention
sharply to the stringency of the money
market, which really had not been felt
at all here up to that time. Often the
question was asked "can it be that the
bank has no money!" This query no
doubt took the form of assertion by being
repeated. The change of the bank from
national to q state bank measurably
destroyed confidence. 1t was not felt at
| first because there was no general feeling
of distrust, but the change was recalled
when suspicion began to take possession
of mems minds. The change of location
played an important part in starting
rumors. Any little thing was enough
to create panic and the fact that the
doors of the old bank building were
closed, no doubt received many a false
representation. The run began as early
as the 18th of May. It was quiet but
steady. 1t let up occasionally but was
resumed on the slightest cause. It had
almost ceased when the Plankinton fail
ure started it afresh. The peristency of
the run gave it accelerated force and on
Monday it seems to have become an ava
lanche if the amount of money drawn out
is an indication.
The statement made by the bank on
January 1893 was as follows:

The Home Rule bill "Is dragging its
slow length along" and the Irish mem
bers are growing imT atient Gladstone's
policy is to waste no time in debate anC
hence the philippics of the tories go IN
answered. Tue Irish members chafe a,
this. Discipline requires that they re.
main quiet. The tory members try tc
provoke retort as the debate which would
thus be precipitated would cause delay
and consequent dissatisfaction with the
bill throughout the country.
Chamberlain is the most active man in
the opposition. His TRADES against his
former friends are particularly bitter. 1t
Is said he seeks the leadership of the con-
servatives and certainly has it, if activity
bestows il.
Though the progress of the measure is
SLOW Its ultimate passage is assured. The
contest will then be with the House of
Lords. That body will certainly reject
the measure to begin with. 1t remains
u be seen whether Gladstone has sniff
cent coerclve force to compel its adop-
ton. The contest with the House of
Lords viii be historic.

JUDGE WA1LBEE has ordered the grand

JUDGE WALLBEE has ordered the grand
jury to investigate the failures OF L. A.
Lappen & Co. aud of the Plankinton
bank with view of determining whether
anyone is criminally responsible. This is
a movement in the right direction. The
failure of the Plankinton bank was the
indirect cause OF the suspension OF other
banks in this state and the direct cause
Of loss of confidence which seriously en-
dangered many interests. There appears
to have been degree of looseness IN the
management OF the Lappen business
which borders closely on the criminal and
the large credit extended it by the
Plankinton bank was, under the circum-
stances, jeopardizing the interests OF
creditors beyond the limits Ct prudence.
Bank failures under conditions exist
ing the last two months were to be ex-
pected. No bank can stand a long-con-
tinued run in a period of general panic.
But banks which succumb to run and
which have assets upon which, with time,
sufficient cannot be realized to cover
their liabilities, or nearly so, furnish
proof OF Encouragement or dishonesty
and are fit subjects for grand jury.
The last legislature in its infinite wis.,
dom denied the people the protection of
bauk examiner, and thus encouraged
looseness and dishonesty. To punish
through the courts what might have
been prevented by law Is all that is left
people who have sustained loss through
a reckless system Of banking or worse,
through dishonesty. The investigation
ordered is wise and timely, and will
place responsibility, If any exists, where
it properly belongs.
