A Clarifying SHOWING.

The statement of Comptroller ECKELS
concerning the national banks of St.
Paul, as given IN our Washington dis
patches. is gratifying in the extreme.
1t is not news in this community, as
the elaborate article from the Trade
journal which appeared in last Satur-
days GLOBE contained the major por-
ton OF the facts given out by the
comptroller. but the Endorsement of the
condition of the st. Paul banks by such
high authority is inspiring.
The facttha the st. Paul banks have
larger amount of gold IN their vaalts
than the banks of Cincinnati, Mllwau-
kee, Cleveland and other larger cities;
that we have nearly as much as. Rhila-
delphia and two-thirdS as much<aS Bos-
ton. is story in cold figures WHICH can
not be gainsaid Or shaken.
While it is not subject for rejoicing
that many other cities are unable to
stand shoulder to shoulder with st. Paul
in financial solidity, it is, nevertheless,
an occasion for great congratulation
that this city can make the record it
does.
1t demonstrates that the business of
the city is conducted on basis of safety
and conservatism. and that, though
there is naturally less activity than
previously, the holding of our own at
this time is in reality substantial prog

His Feelings When He Assists ar

Philadelphia Times.
At fashionable wedding the other
day the handsome blonde fellow who
officiated as "best man" looked so IN
feignedly sad that it occurred to a
frivolous young woman in the front
pew to ask him after the ceremony:
WHY in the world he looked as though
he was attending his own funeral in
stead of rejoicing at his friends hap

Ibid look glum?" he laughed, as he
tugged al his tawny muStache; well,
10 be candid with you, L felt so. You
see, Charlie and | have been good
friends ever since we were boys We
use1 TO share our pin money and all
that sort of thing. and later, when we
went TO college, we still were chums.
Then went In business together, and |
was everything to him until Elsie came

''Do you actually believe that?" he
questioned; IF you do. how very little
you really know your own sex. The
very fact that Elsie knows how fond
Charlie and | are of each other will
make her more surely inclined to be
jealous than anything else. OF course,
we will always be friends, but the close
warm intimacy of other days has gone
forever. That's why looked so glum
today, for it would have been less hard
to have been parted from him in any
other way. for then there would have

Peanut Peddler EIopes With a
Girl of Fourteen.
MITCHELL, 5. d.. July 25.-During
the recent visit OF Rlngling's circus to
this town young chap about nineteen
years old, giving his name as Harry
Pinkerton. left the show, which he had
served as peannt peddler, and went TO
work on odd jobs about town. He soon
formed the acquaintance of Bessie
Moore, the fourteen-year-oId daughter
OF Maj. and Mrs. w. A. Moore, and
kept her company despite the opposition
of her parents. Last Wednesday night
Pinkerton hired livery rig, saying he
wanted to take some one into the coun-
try, and, not returning with it, search
was male, and the horse and buggy
were found the next day at the town of
Spencer, twenty miles east of here.
Then it was aScertained that Miss Moore
was also missing, she having told her
parents that she was going to spend the
night with friend, and further inquiry
developed that she and PnkertOn had
spent day in farm house near
spencer, saying they were brother and
sister, from Aberdeen. They left the
farm house Friday morning, and moth
ing has been heard from them since.

THE LATEST "ARGUMENT."

The Atlanta Constitution has at last
reached the true Populist attitude. which
attributes all opposition to corruption.
1t says of the Courier-Journal, which
has refused to follow it into the hog wal
low of free and unlimited coinage of
silver, that "it is to be feared that Ed
itor WATTERSoN mas eaten of the East
ern puhcaou ROOT" This talk of press
subsidized by the gold-bugs is on par
in Stiffness with that prattle we used to
hear about British gold and the Golden
club. Money is never corruptly used
except by some selfish interest which
expects to be reimbursed in some way
for its expenditure. Men having cred
its payable in gold have an interest in
not being paid IN silver deprecated 40
per cent, but their interest is remote
and scattered as compared with that of
the silver miners, who can see an imme-
diate profit in free coinage. That this
is the case is shown by the statement of
Montana miner to gentleman of this
city in 1890, when the SHERMAN bill was
pending, who was on his way to Wash
ington to aid in its passage, that his
assessment towards the fund to be used
in securing its passage was $4,000.
