state Hank Supervision.

During the recent HhaheIai hurry
there have been failures Of state and
private banks in Kansas City,
Springfield, W%arrensbarg, Moberly,
Oseeola, Kingston and Jerieo, on
top Of failures in the last few years
in Nevada, Marshall, Arrow Rock
aud Bronaugh, Mo, entailing heavy
losses upon the public, demonstrate
ing the Importance of the state ex-
ercising control owe her banks,
building and loan associations and
bond and investment companies,
State Treasurer Lon, Y. Stevens
struck the keynote in his address
in Chicago last June, upon 1.-THE
Banking System, Resources and
Finances of Missouri" when he
said:
The present state banking law
was enacted in 1877. This provides
for publication of statements, and
makes the reception of deposits after
knowledge is had of the failing con-
dition of a bank a felony. Its pro-
visions are also apparently restrict
i've in regard to bank loans, but as
no bank examinations are provided
for, occasional failures have demon
strated that the statute is disregard
ed. There is a growing feeling that
the law governing the commercial
banks is in need of revision. Bank
examinations should be provided
for at frequent intervals. And the
facilities afforded bank officials for
borrowing the funds of their own
bank should be reduced to such a
point that bank officials would not
become borrowers. There have
been no recent failures among Mis-
| souri, banks in which the bank Off
Gals themselves have not been large
| but insolvent debtors.
The banks under state control are
422 in number, with aggregate liza
bilities of one hundred and seven
millions of dollars. About 400 of
these are country banks, with capt.
tai stock varying from $1,000 to
5000, 900. In a few instances the
affairs of these banks are governed
by competent boards OF directors,
but in general the entire response
bility of management is intrusted to
the cashier or chief executive officer.
The change from the provincial
banking of the early period has been
rapid. The magnitude of the in
terests involved now demands that
the state exercise an active over
sight over their operations. During
three several sessions of the legis.
lature bills have been introduced
creating a bank department., and
providing for bank examinations,
but the bills have failed of passage.
The people of Missouri, always
conservative in legislation, have
been slow in adopting new statutes
and have refused to do so, until
convinced not only of their practical
character but of their actual need !;
and they have not yet realized the
necessity of radical changes in the
banking law.
While there is no necessity for
any radical changes, yet our ex-
perience of late teaches us that
there should be a system of exam.
ination of banks, and all sorts OF
building and loan associations and
trust companies, for the protection
it will afford the public. From all
indications the next legislature will
take this question up, in which it
will have the cooperation of all our
conservative bankers, and beyond
doubt will enact proper laws on the
subject.

great patience. At no time during his illness
except his last hours was he helpless; he was
perfectly conscious to the last and said to dear
ones around bis bedside that he loneed to get
well, but all that skillful HAND and careful at

FULTON, Mo-, September IL
Sheriff w. H. Windsor and deputies
arrested Sam Gibeny, George Miller
and Tuck Robinson last night for
making and passing counterfeit sill
yer dollars. Gibeny squealed and
gave the whole gang away. He
says there are some twelve men,
bers of his company in this (Calla-
way) county and has gave the Sher-
iff their names. The Sheriff found
one of the molds in Gibeny's house.
Gibeny's daughter says she saw the
men making the coin through a
crack in the door opening into the
room where the counterfeiters were
at work. The Sheriff and deputies
are out after the other members of
the gang to-day, and it is highly
probable they will be brought here
and lodged in Jail tonight. Gibeny
passed several dollars here yester-
day and afterward went to the Full
ton fair, where he was caught by
Deputy Sheriff w. V. Berry while
engaged in passing his counterfeit
dollars for lemonade, and brought
to town and lodged in Jail. The
money is made of babel metal, which
was purchased at a hardware store

The Restriction Of Immigration.

Shall immigration be restricted, and,
if so, how and to what extent, is one Of
the important questions that will in all
probability occupy the attention Of the
coming session Of congress. Senator
Chandler, Of New Hampshire, is the
chairman of a committee on the SUBJ
ject which is now sitting in this city,
not for the purpose of taking testimony,
but Of discussing amendments to the
law. His views on the subject are rad
ical, but not more 80 than those Of the
Knights Of Labor as enunciated by Mr..
Powderly.
The New Hampshire senator and the
general master workman are both of the
opinion that immigration should be pro-
hibited for period Of years, Mr.. Chan
dler placing the limit at five. "Wages,"
he asserts, cannot be maintained up to
their present standard in this country
unless immigration is stopped. If wages
are reduced the Democrats will be swept
out of power by popular sentiment.
He adduces these as reasons why, were
he Democrat, he should vote for the
five years suspension.
Republicans and Democrats are alike
interested in the preservation Of the re.
public, in its growth, progress, develop
ment, on sure, broad, steady, time en-.
during lines. To that end let us all
unite. The republic SHOULD be the first
care Of every American, no matter te
what party he belongs.--New York Re

sums Waxsrsd ON tho Turf.

There are no data obtainable In this
country upon which even remote sp-
proximation could be made as to the
total of the sums wagered in the course
Of the year upon turf events. That it is
large may be safely assumed; but we
should doubt much whether the French,
in their comparatively recent fervor for
betting upon horse races, have not
largely exceeded the amounts wagered
in this country.
The figures given by Paris CORE
spondent show shat 10 per cent. levied
on all sums staked in the Pari- Mutuel
machines amounted for the last four
months of last year to 2,028.s5Y francs,
representing total wagered Of 10l ,342,-
$50 francs or over E4,050, 900 In four
months. This Of course is altogether ir-
respective of the sums wagered at the
clubs or with the large bookmaksrs, and
represents only the small sums laid Gu
the course with the smalleY men Of that
class. .-London Tit-Bits.
