VOORHEES, AND STATE BANKS.
The Indiana Senator's Position on an
Independent Subject.

WASHINGTON, September 7.-Sena-
tor Voorhees, is. perhaps, the most
outspoken champion of state banks on
the floor of the senate. What he
means by a state bank is not the
bank so commonly remembered and
associated with ideas repugnant to
good banking pricIples, but the char
tered state banks which have circu-
latiOn based upon specie gold and
sil-er, Senator Voorhees, said today
that when he made the statement in
bis speech a few days ago that no man
had ever lost u dollar through char
that had not to this day been denied,
and could never be. That is the sort
of bank he contends for. He believes
the security of the notes should be
found not in state or municipal bonds
but he holds that it should be based up
on the precious metals themselves.
This means that there should be at all
times in the vaults OF the banks one
third the amount Of its notes in gold
and silyer-an amount amply sufficient
from his point of view, to redeem any
Of the notes of the bank that might at
any time be offered for redemption,
and upon which to transact the buSi-
ness of the community in which the
bank is located. His plan also con-
templates governmental supervision
and inspection a combination which
will, he believes, offer solution to
the problems now before the people.

as firm and reliable as any ever devils

Influx of Chinese.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Sept. 9.-Col
r. M. Moore, special agent of the
United States treasury department,
has just received information from
the border that the exodus of Chinese
from Mexico into the United States
continues unabated, and the frontier
of Mexico throngs with celestials who
are only waiting for a favorable OPP
portunity to cross the Rio Grande.
The smuggling of unwelcome for
eigners into this country is worked SO
smoothly that comparatively few of
them are captured. Out of seven hun
dred that have undoubtedly reached
Texas soil during the last three
months, only about forty have been
apprehended and are in jail at San
Antonio.

DARED HIM TO SHOOT
Parlee Evans, Young Girl, Thought
the Boy had Better Sense.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Sept, 7.-"Look
out, l am going to shoot you" were
the words addressed to Parlee Evans,
fourteen-year-old girl. The start
lnson, nine-year-old boy, as he was
standing on his fathers porch, beside
his sister, II dare you to, if you want
yoIr face slapped" was the prompt
reply. The boys sister then said:
'tShoot her." Thereupon he fired.
The ball, which was a 22-caliber from
a target rifle, struck the girl in the
back, and she fell to the ground
screaming. Medical attention was
summoned, and her sufferings, to
some extent, were relieved, though
her condition remains serious. No
cause can be given for the rash act, as
the children have always been the
best of friends.

MAKING A SLATE.
DISCUSSING THE NEXT CANDI-
DATE FOR PRESIDENT.
MIR. Cleveland Said to Favor Whitney
or Gresham-Vice-Pres
Stevenson Very Strong.


WAsHINGTON, Sept. 7.-"Win it be
William g. Whitney or Walter q.
Gresham ?"
That is the question which is being
asked by politicians and statesmen on
the inside.
OF course it means which will be
the next Democratic nominee.
One of these two men will be the
administration candidate before the
next Democratic national convention.
Mr.. Cleveland would be satisfied
with either. 1t is with Mr.. Whitney
to decide If he wants to be candi-
date, Judge Gresham will not enter
the contest and the administration
will throw all its strength to bring
about the nomination of Whitney.
Should he decline, however, Idge
Gresham will be the administrations
candidate.
After the Cabinet meeting the 9TH
er day this question came up. There
were present Secretaries Gresham,
Carlisle, RisSell, Olney, Lamont, Nor
ton and Smith The question came
up over some mention of Mr.. Whit
ney'S name, and even Mr.. Lamont,
who is the closest friend in the Cabi-
net of the eX-Secretary of the Navy,
didn't know whether he desired the
nomination. 1t was agreed, however,
should lie express such a desire, that
all would be for him. Secretary
Smith mentioned that if he did not
desire it he believed Judge Gresham
would be the strongest man in the
country before the people and that he
should get the nomination beyond the
shadow of doubt. Mr.. Carlisle stat
ed that reports to the contrary not
withstand, he had no idea of being
candidate.
The matter was discussed in a
casual, almost Scmi-jocular way, but
since that day there has been a good
deal of talk about it by individual
members of the Cabinet and nearly all
Of them are agreed upon such plan
as is outlined above. The only man
the administration friends of Mr..
Whitney and Judge Gresham fear is
Vice-President Stevenson. They be
lieve him to be very strong with the
people, but with the influence of the
President and his Cabinet against him
they believe his popularity can be
OyerthrOWn.
There was never a case in the his
tory of the country where the presf
dent and vice president were on partic-
ularly intimate terms. Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr. Stevenson are not exceptions
to the general rule. Up to date the
influence of the vice president with
the president in matters of appoint
ments has amounted to but little.
While they are on apparently friendly
terms, they are not intimates by any
means. Mr. Cleveland has never call
ed upon the vice president for advice,
and so far as the administration is
conserned, Mr.. Stevenson has not been
consulted upon any question. Mr..
| Cleveland looks upon him simply as
the presiding officer of the senate
| nothing more.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Sept. 7.-Great ex-

are securing the country for brutal
negro reported to have white girls in
captivity who are being horribly treat
ed by him. Yesterday one of them
escaped and made her way to the
house of widow woman and told her
story. She said she and her sister had
been stolen from their parents by the
negro and were forced to beg for him
and submit to his wishes. The negro
entered the widows house. recaptured
the girl and after beating her cruelty,
forced her to accompany him by
threatening to kill her. Blood hounds
have been secured and every effort be-

Total,
1889, ,923 OF

Looking over these figures we note
a loss on the stamp sales of every
month this year over last, except two.
But the losses are small and the total
shsws a falling off in sales of less than
four per cent. For duh year, when
trade is at stand-still this does not
look bad and those who love to croak
can take back seat.
This result, however, grows out of
the dull summer. The jobbers have
smaller stocks than ever and will buy
freely for their fall trade. The manu-
facturer who has been working
through the summer will be able to
increase his sales, while those who
have kept idle will hardly be able to
supply their customers demands.
With a brisk fall trade our factories
will be compelled to work through the
winter months, which would be a
great blessing to the poor of our city.
After all there may be silver lining
to the dark cloud which has been
passing over.
