you're right says Bicyclist
Symington, Gin saying that the
STOPPING position, observed by
some wheelmen in riding, is I'M
healthy and makes the rider look
supre nelly ridiculous. 1t is quite
as easy, in ordinary runs, for the
rider to keep his body erect IS he
should do; the only thing is this
that in racing, or in making fast
time, riders will bend over the
machine to cut the wind and
thereby gain speed by decreasing
the air pressure upon the body,
but this, of course, is not necessa.
ry in an ordinary way. The boys,
however, see the professionals
adopt that form of riding and
thinks it de riguer to initiate
them but in this they make a great
mistake.

State Banking Under Federal
Laws.

A good compromise can be effected
between the advocates OF the old bank
ing system and the friends OF the new.
That compromise will probably be q
system of State banking operated under
Federal laws. Decentralization Of the
currency will not be allowed. Debase-
ment of the currency will not be allowed.
A Yirginia-bank note must continue to
be as good and as current in Oregon as
in Richmond, and, vice versa, an Ore
gon-innk note must continue to be as
good and as current in Virginia as in
Oregon. We see no occasion for the
friends Of sound currency TO be unduly
alarmed. The President and Congress
will think twice before they begin cru
sa le upon the best banking system this
country has ever possessed.
And just as We had finished writ
ing the last paragraph above the
news comes to US that the Pr esident will
allow no other kind of State ba hiking
than Just such q system as we have
dimly outlined. On Saturday Secre-
tary CARLISLE assembled in his Office
Speaker CRISP, Congressman WARNER,
and Congressman HALL. Now read
what the Washington correspondent OF
the Baltimore "Sun" says
"This feeling was expressed at the con.
ference yesterday, and was discussed
with the result that it can be confidently
asserted that if any bill is introduced at
the present session of Congress with the
approval of President Cleveland and
Secretary Carlisle for the repeal OF the
State-bank tax it will be one in which
the banks, while they may be called
State banks, will be under national SUI
pervsion. In other words, while the
banks may receive their charters
from the States the national gov
eminent will supply their notes and will
prescribe the class of securieties on which
they shall be issued. The effect of the
change will be much the same as if the
present national banking laws were
amended so as to allow certain other
securities, in addition to government
b nds, to he deposited to secure circula-
ton. The fact was developed at the
conference that President Cleveland will
favor a bill for the repeal of the State
bank tax if there are such safeguards
thrown around their circulation as will
insure their maintenance at par with
gold"
We would be more than satisfied with
such compromise. Note: If any bill
lsintroduced with the Presidents appro-
val that is. he will sign no other kind }
it must be bill such as is pointed out
above.

WET WEATHER AT WYTHEVlLLE
Evangelist Fife Prays for Rain ana IL

Correspondence of The Dispatch)
WYTHEVILLE, Va, Sept 2.-The storm
which did so much damage in other parts
OF the State last Monday did no serious
harm I'm this immediate section. Some OF
the corn was partially blown down, but
that was all. The country had splendid
soaking rain, however which was very
timely.
Several farmers sent IN on last Friday
request to Evangelist Fife, who is conduct
ing tent meeting here to pray Tor ram
He asked the congregation to join him in
a prayer for the needed blessing That
night, and on Saturday there was good
shower followed by the continuous rains
OF Monday and to-day.
Although the heavy rain of Monday
and again yesterday drove the congre-
cations from the tent 10 the shelter of
the churches the interest seems una
bated. Durin the hours Of morning
and evening service the majority OF the
stores and some OF the business Offices
are closed. Good congregations attend all
the day services, while the large tent or
the churches are filled at night Two or
three hundred people have confessed
Christ as their Savior or asked the prayers
Of Christians.
The recent rains have revived the past
ures and meadows are once more green
and beautiful.
