THERE'S MILLIONS IN 1T.


What the New York Bankers are After
They See Millions of Profit In Now Issue
of Bonds.
When the big banks of New York
city spend hours through their respec-
tive presidents in trying TO make the
government see the advantage OF
bond issue they are looking for millions
in profits. There are to-day in the city
twenty banks who could in an hours
time pour golden stream of $50,O00,-
900 into the sub-treasury vaults. Sat
urday's average statement for the week
from the associated banks told of e72,-
254, 100 in specie in the hands of the
banks. Twenty-Five of the banks held
fully nine-tenths of this, and they are
the rich downtown banks clustering
about the sub-treasury.
The gold is not worth a penny more
in loans than paper money; in fact,
there Is not one borrower in hundred
who would not make an objection if
the coin was handed over. This gold
would come out as fast as pOrters could
handle the bags If the government
would offer in exchange n bond-let 1t
be as proposed, per cent. 1O-year
bond, with a premium which should
make it net 3 per cent This would
make the selling price 1l11E, so that for
the FjO.OOO.00O in bonds the banks
would be required TO pay over s55, $780,
o. in coin.
What would then happen? Any ma
tiGual bank may deposit United States
bonds and draw from the government,
M the bonds making the guarantee
n .ffr. ,r,..-..s-.,r.,u..H rrAA1 fharn
national bank notes to the amount of
o. per cent, so that at once the bond
buyers would have $4,000, 900 in cash
back in the vaults from which the gold
had just been taken. This money is
just as good as any for any business
man 70 take in loans, and it would
promptly go out in exchange for gilt
edge per in mortgages, on stock col
|; -cgst tu1 an the other handy forms of
s. rurity known 10 the banking world.
Now. taking the average per cent.
which banks get through the busy
winters ana the reduced interest ac-
c ptsd i'm Summer. il is fair To calculate
the income of the money on loan at
pr cent. The government pays its in
tereet quarterly, so that at the end Of
the first three months after the loan
had been made the government would
hand over $500, 900 in interest, or one
quarter of the s2.G01, 600 which would
be the yearly interest on $4,000, 900 at
per cent. This money would at once
go TO the loaning pile and bringing in
its share of the per cent interest.
There would be losses, there would be
the government taxes, but there would
he the compound interest to earn income
upon.
Suppose the bankers favorite plan
was accepted by the government, and
that start was made on July next.
There would be transfer from vault
to sub-treasury of 55,75O,OoO in gold,
while deposited to the credit of the ad-
vancing banks there would be $50 ,000,-
900 in bonds locked up in Washington,
upon which s45, 900, 900 in crisp new cir
culation notes would be issued. Then
upon the bank books would appear an
account something like this:
Loanng capital July l, 1893 ei5, ZOO 900

In other words, the banks would have
over 800, 900, 600 for the little over $780,
100000 which they had advanced ten
years before, and all the time would
have held one of the best securities
known to finance.-N. Y. World.

plus the blank ballots

plus the blank ballots IA
or 1241. This eminent counsel did
assert in the Supreme Court room yester-
day! Now while the Australian ballot
is theoretically series of separate and
distinct bsllots it is really one piece OF
paper, with all the various officers to be
voted for upon it. 1t is therefore abso-
lutely impossible to put an Australian
ballot in the box without depositing a
ballot for every officer upon it,
the offices-that is the voter may omit
to mark a cross against some of the
offices-but it is ballot, blank OF other
wise, for every officer. If 1907 ballots were
deposited with the Mayor group
upon them just 1907 ballots
must have been deposited with
the councilmen group upon them.
To have one more or less would be i'm
possible. The total number of ballots
where the blanks are included can
never vary. There must be exactly
the same number for one officer as for
another. So that when it is determined
by simple addition as in this case that
the blank ballots were reckoned in max
ing up the total of the whole number of
ballots given in for Mayor we know abso-
lutely beyond the shadow of doubt, that
the number given in for every other Off
Ger, including the blanks, was precisely
the same, no more and no less. If
1907 were given in for Mayor,
and in this number was included
the blanks, we know for certainty that
if 1907 ballots are returned as given in for
councilmen the blank ballots must have
been counted In making up that number.
When therefore the warden of Ward 8
reported that, including the blank bal
lots, the whole number of ballots given
in for Mayor was 1907, and also reported
that the whole number of ballots given
in for councilmen was 1907 it followed in
contestably that he had counted the
blank ballots in making up the total for
councilmen. There can be no escape
from that conclusion.
There was one case in which the
warden of Ward 8 took no notice Of
blank ballots, and the ward clerk made
no return of them. This was the case
of the ward line revision. What happen
ed? Why the total number of ballots
given in was no longer reported as 1907
but as 1922.

HOW CLEVELAND WILL DISPENSE THE
OFFICES.
washington Correspondence of N. Y. SUM-
Many good Democrats who came to
Washington ruled by the idea of obtain
ing recognition by way of an official po-
sition, in return for long and faithful
service in the partyand faithful devotion
to Democratic principles, have returned
home. The reason for this retracing of
steps grows mainly out of what has been
learned as to Mr.. Cleveland's intentions.
A case in point is that of a Democrat
from Southern State, whose claim for
reward there was no disputing, and who
convinced himself that to begin with,
any change in the Office he wanted would
be slow, if at all. Next, he concluded
that his own past services would tend to
hurt instead of helping him; in fact, that
faithfulness to the party would be
deemed offensive partisanship," there
fore injurious, As regards appoint
ments in general, especially the better
positions, the belief prevails that it is
the unexpected that is going to happen.
The Portland daily press., 1893-03-10

If the Marshal had given as much atten-
ton to what was going on around the
polls as he did to protecting Democratic
wardens from alleged conspiracies that
never existed except in the brain OF
somebody whose conscience was urou-
bling him he would had no trouble in
finding rum shop in the street COM
missioners Office or dozen drunken
men in the corridors adjacent to the
Ward 3 polling room at almost any time
after the polls were opened. Very likely
the wardens did call him in. but it was
not for the preservation of the peace,
except possibly in Ward 8 where the
warden who was about to commit a
grossly unfair act might have fancied that
he was in danger from indignant citizens,
and he should not have gone in except
he was satisfied that his presence was
necessary to keep order. Up in Ward 7,
when one of his policemen was requested
by the warden to remove a man whom
the latter decided had no right inside the
rail, the officer refused. 1t was only
Democratic wardens that had their re-
quests complied with. No obseryant man
could have been in the neighborhood of
the Ward room ON Monday and Tuesday
without the conviction taking possession
of him that the police force were neglect
ing their duty, and neglecting it to the
advantage of Democratic vote buyers
and liquor peddlers. The condition Of
things about that ward room on those
two days was scandalous. If City
Marshal SWEET didn't know it his per-
ceptions cannot be very acute.

pErYING CoMMON SENSE.

1t is not stating the case one whit too
strongly to say that the presentation of
the Democratic side of the Ward 8 case
in the Supreme Court yesterday was a
defiance of common sense. If a man had
arisen in that court room and
undertaken to argue that straight line
did not measure the shortest distance
between two points, or that the whole
was not equal to the sum of all it's parts,
or that two and two did not make four
he would have been guilty of no greater
absurdity than the counsel for the Dem
ocratic party were guilty of in some OF
their statements and arguments yester-
day. 1t would be impossible to take up
all these statements and arguments in
detail in the space at our disposal and SO
we must confine ourselves to one point.
When Judge Walton asked the counsel
to show why Messrs. Lefavor and Kent
were not elected the counsel replied as
follows:
IT think can satisfy your Honor from the
returns in two minutes, why. they were not
elected. The whole number Of ballots received
was 1907. Take the vote for Mr.. Cousens, the
highest on the Republican side, and for Mr..
Hicks, the highest ON the Democratic side; add
the Prohibition vote and the scattering vote and
you have 1907, without counting the blanks.
The Republican candidates did not have ma
iority OF the 1907 votes hence they were not
elected The return shows that the blank
votes were not counted at all. That is my an
swer."
ssThe returns show that the blank bal
lots were not counted at ALL Let us
look at the returns exactly as they exist

President Cleveland will have thirty
six offices to fill in the regular course of
business that were left Enacted upon by
the last Senate before adjournment.
One of these appointments is the sue
cessor of Judge Jackson, the Democrat
whom President Harrison has raised up
to the supreme bench. The name of
Benson Hanchett was sent to the Senate
by the President, but the Democrats in
that body had not the fairness to confirm
the nomination. Mr.. Cleveland could
not do more handsome thing than to
send the same name to the Senate for
confirmation.

The question of the reason of the Sc
lection of Bangor for the location of the
proposed insane hospital is perhaps an
improbable one to discuss, inasmuch as
their is no objection to Bangor if new
hospital is to be built, but it is suscepti-
BILE of proof that it was during the state
capital controversy that the building of
hospital at Bangor was first suggested
and we have no doubt that it was sug,
gested to increase the ardor of the East
ern people in their opposition to the re-
moval of the capital to Portland.

The decision of the Attorney General
of New Jersey that parochial schools are
private corporations will probably put
an end to the bill now pending in that
State for division of the school money.
But in this State such a decision would
accomplish nothing because it is per-
fectly legal under our constitution to
appropriate money to private institu-
lions as we'll as to public ones. 1t should
be made Illegal

Vague as was President Cleveland S
inaugural address on the subject of the
currency, it seems to have displeased
some of the pro-silver Democrats of the
South and West. The St. Louis Repub-
lie, for example, strong Cleveland
paper, declares that an issue OF bonds
for gold 'would be robbery of the
people, and "a betrayal of the faith of
the Democratic party" With this feel
ing developing on the one side and with
the demands from Wall street growing
stronger on the other, there is trouble
enough looming up in the path of the
new Administration.

The project of building an insane hos
pital at Bangor this year seems destined
to fail; majority of the Senate at least
being of the opinion that provision can
be made for the proper treatment of the
insane wards of the State for several
years at least without the large expendi-
ture of money that the proposed hospital
at Bangor would necessitate. 1t is I'M
doubtedly true that the finances of the
State are in condition where large
expenditure of money would have to be
followed by an increase of taxation, and
thus it is altogether desirable to avoid ii
itcan be done without exposing the insane
wards of the State to lack of proper care
and treatment.

1t will be observed that in the total
number of ballots given in for Mayor
the blank ballots are reckoned. Any
body can see that by adding
up the returns. The same is true Of
aldermen, warden and ward clerk. Sim
pie addition is all that is needed to
prove that the blank ballots were in
cluded in making up the total number of
ballots in all these cases. But addition
will not demonstrate it in the case of
councilman and constable, because these
officers were voted for in groups of
three and two. We are not sure but
some Democrat may be found whose
head is sufficiently muddled by election
excitement to deny that the detailed vote
for Mayor shows that the blank ballots
were counted in making up the whole
number of ballots given in for that Of
flee, but we are going to assume that no
Democratic lawyer has yet arrived at
that muddled condition. But it was shown
in court yesterday that even Democratic
lawyers were ready to take the ground
that in arriving at the total number of
ballots given in for councilpen the war
den had not added the blank ballots. In
short, that while 1907 represented the
ballots given in for Mayor, including the
blanks, 1907 represented the number of
ballots given in for councilmen, exclu-
siue of the blank ballots, and that as
matter of fact the whole number of BAL
lots given in for councilmen reckoned in
the same way that the ballots for Mayor
were reckoned, that is with the blank
ballots included, would be 1901

THE RIVER TIME.

Oh, a wonderful s ream is the river Time,
As il runs through the realm of tears,
With faultless rhythm and u musical rhyme
And broader sweep and surge sublime,
As it blends in the ocean Of years
How the winters are drifting like fakes OF
snow.
And the summers like birds between
And the years in the sheaf, how they come
and they SO
On the rivers breast with its ebb and its flow,
As It glides in the shadow and sheenl
There's magical isle up the river Time,
Where the soflest of airs are playing;
There's a cloudless sky and tropical Cline
And song as sweet as vesper chime,
And the Junes with the roses are straying.
And the name Of the isle is the Long Ago" "
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows of beauty and bosoms OF srow,
There are heaps of dust-oh, we love them
There are trinkets and tresses of hair.
There are fragments Of songs that nobody
sings,
There are parts of an infant prayer:
There's Lutte unswept and harp without
strings,
There are broken vows and pieces Of rings
AND the garments our loNeu useu " "e"''
There are hands that are waving when the
fairy shore
By the mirage is lifted in air;
And we sometimes hear through the turbu-

Sweet voices we heard in the day gone before,
And the wind down the river was fair.
Oh remember f)r aye be that blessed isle
All the day of our life until night;
And when evening glows with its beautiful

And our eyes are closing in slumber awhile,
May the greenwood of souls be in sight.
