Denver has been the financial storm
center this week. On Monday three of
the city's savings banks were obliged to
close. On Tuesday three national banks
and three private banks went under. The
runs continued on Wednesday and three
more national banks had to quit business,
leaving only five of these institutions in
operation. 1t is believed that the trouble
there is over. There have also been fall
ures of Kansas banks, most of which,
however, are small and inconsequential
concerns.

cver-incrcasing pressure from the rear. Every
man and boy with the instinct Of a bully con-

might any one in front Of him. When the train
draws up and the gates and doors are opened
there is rush that carries every one before

The stalwart bullics swoop down upon the

crowd. They are saving their breath for the
final struggle, when the gong sounds and tho

SCANNELL IND KOCH.

In formally presenting to the public the facts
concerning the criminal records of John j.
Scannel and Joseph Koch, the City Club has
rendered valuable service to the cause of de-
cent municipal government. Scannell was ap-
pointed by Mayor Gilroy to be member Of
the Fire Commission Koch to be Police JUS
tice. Scannell is one of the worst ru1ans that
the low life of New-York has ever produced.
lie shot an unprotected and fleeing man, whom
for months he had been hunting The bullet
reached its victim while he was escaping up
q flight of stairs. 1t struck him in the back
of the head, and as the man fell at his feet
Scanne stood over him and coolly ana re-
peatedly fired into the PROSTATE body. lie
escaped the galows by an outrageous betrayal
of justice, the jury acquitting him on the ground
of emotional insanity. lie was discharged from
the insane asylum whittier the verdict carried
him in less than three months after his in
generation. Since that time he has been a
professional Tammany politician of the lowest
type and now, by the orders of Mr.. Croker,
he is n Fire Commissioner
koch'S record is not so violently bad as Scan.
ners. but it renders his appointment as a
Police Justice both ridiculous and shameful
