wreck the best and most solvent bank
i'll the country. A minutes reflection
will show depositOrs that their unrea-
soning timidity is what Injuries the
banks, and consequently what threatens
harm to the depositors themselves.
Nor is this all. The whole commu-
nlty suffers. MoTey taken away from
banks and boarded up at home is put
out of circulation. Money is the life
blood of commerce, of industry; it is its
use which permits the employment of
labor, and enables the masses to earn
their daily bread. Men and women
boarding lheir money are the causes of
business stagnation, and are the eDe-
mics of the community. There are al
ready i'll our city hundreds, thousands
without work, because of this senseleSs
panic which has been prevailing. If it
continue, and increase, no telling what
hardShips may follow. The banks are
the mediums of distribution for the
money OF a city or country, and what
bodies harm to them BODIES harm to all
else. In a general depression the toilers
are the chief sufferers, but very often
they have been the chief causes of the
misery, because they were the first to
withdraw from banks their deposits.
These deposits, small in each case, are
large in the aggregate.
However, the crowds who rush to
banks in moment of fright are not
the ones most TO be blamed. The great
harm is done by the few who create the
fright, and these are often business
men, and others from whom sense and
prudence should have been expected,
but who for mere pleasure of babbllng
are always talking evil, whispering that
the country is going 10 ruin, that this
merchant or that bank is unsteady in
business, The temporary exile OF such
men would be boon to the community.
Communities usually work their own
ruin, and their own prosperity, In the
present times, if harm comes to st.
Paul. we are ourselves to blame. The
country at large is prosperous; the
Northwest especially is in most excel
lent condition. The miserable legisla
ton which has disturbed our finances
is on the eve of being repealed.
Europe sees in our limitleSS
resources the best opportunities for in
vestment that the world offers, and will
pour into the country her money. 1t is
not the sanguine, it is the conservative
men who see ahead an era of most pros
porous times SO soon as congress will
nave given assurances of sound value
for our currency, and surely it is not
the moment now to be alarmed.
From all have heard and observed
during the day, | am convinced that we
shall witness in our city no further
financial disturbance. Our people are
not of the kind to be twisted to and fro
by passing wind. They are interested
in their own welfare; they have pride
in their institutions, and they will prove
their good sense by possessing their
souls in peace and aiding, each one in
the measure of his means, to maintain
public confidence and keep in motion
the wheels of commerce and industry"

Bradstreet's weekly review says: In
New York credit of both banks and
commercial houses is unimpaired, but
actual money IS scarce, and commands
a premium. The arrival of gold in
transit is expected to clear the atmOs-
phere and relieve pressure. Demands
for actual currency from all quarters on
New York are pressing. The scarcity
of small notes and of silver dollars
is a feature. Banks are generally re-
fusing or complying only partially with
requests for large sums. Outside saw

DONNELLYiSM.
Ignatius and His PopuIist Com
mittee Issue an Address.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4. - The executive
committee of the Populist party, who
have been in session here since the ad-
iournment of the silver convention, to-
night issued the following address:
To the People of the United States:
The friends of more money and less tax,
devoted to the silver dollar of the con-
stitution and of our forefathers; the op-
ponents of contraction, gold standard
and bond monopoly, have Just held their
great convention here in Chicago. 1T
was composed of representative and
patriotic men from all parties and from
all sections of the country.
The overwhelming spirit of this con-
vention indicates that the whole nation
is alive to the dangers which threaten
us. That convention not only repudi-
ated the idea of a gold standard and a
gold basis, but unanimously committed
itself to the principle that we, as Popu-
lists, have long held and cherished, viz:
That law alone makes money, and that
the stamp of the government converts
60 cents worth of silver into q dollar
equal to any gold dollar. And they
unanimously accepted one doctrine
that the money of the country should be
adequate for the demands of the bust
mass and should expand with the growth
of population and commerce.
Populists, this convention has been a
great victory for the principles en-
bodied in the Omaha platform. The
representatives of the old parties who
were present, united with us to fight
for the money of the people, as against
the money of the bondholders. 1t is the
same old contest for the doctrines of.
Jefferson, jackson, Thad Stevens and
Lincoln, and for our constitutional
rights. which have been assailed by a
foreign coalition,
The convention manifested an in
tense conviction that the bondholding
and banking conspiracy which began
its awful ROrk in 1873 in a Republican
congress will now be continued, Fl not
consummated, in 1898, in a Democratic
congress with equal rapaeity, pillage
and peculation. 1t is the misrion of
the Populists to resist this foreign in
vasion, which, through corporate greed,

The Peoples and the West Side.

The Peoples bank closed its doors at
1880 yesterday morning. A notice was
posted on the door which stated: "By
reason of the financial stringency, this
bank is obliged to suspend temporarily"
The officers of the bank are: Charles
E. Rittenhouse, president; William
Constans, vice president, and E. R..
Moore, cashier. The bank was Or
ganized in December, 1882, and has a
capital of 100000.
President Rittenhouse was seen last
evening by GLOBE representative, to

ing on lakes, and were consequently
accustomed to work in rough water.
When these things were known, the
Minnesotas were said to be outclassed,
and in the regatta of the Minnesota and
Winnipeg amateur association, when
books were made, the Minnesotas were
not made favOriteS in a single event.
They lost only one race. however, and
all this made the bookies more cautious

programme.
When the aquatic event came on this
week. there was no Shrewd Judge thas

and this brought out all the cracks or
the clubs that were in attendance upon
the sport. The features of the day were
the doubles and the fours, and these
were the events that were captured by
the Capital City lads. The same old
one to start. 1t is confidently stated
that no better can be found among the
amateur oarsmen of the country. Net
tleton and Armstrong carried off the
honors of the entire regatta. Thew
rowed Ill the senior fours, and it was
not an easy thing, for they had the
worst of the water, the lake was rough,
and they had scarcely time to draw a
free breath before they started in the
senior double contest. AS has been
related, they won this also, and praise
cannot find words to give TOO much
credit for the feat.
There were four events on the pro-
gramme, and the weather did not admit
of getting the first race off on time.
This made the programme last until the
curtains of night began to be drawn.
Still, as it was only quarters of a
mile and return, all spectators bad a
tolerably good view of the brilliant
work of the Minnesota double.
The first race WAS the senior pairs.

the face also of the newspaper comment
that, had not the Lurlines on Friday
and Saturday last made the mistake of
bad steering, they would have won, and
then considering that the MinneSotas
have been rowing against the LurlineS
the past two days, and, moreover, that
the crews OF the rival clubs for the two
regattas under consideration were
identical, the aspeTsion comes with bad
grace, to say the least.
Went for the Best.
The Minnesota boys rowed in as many
races as any other club that partici-
pated in the regatta, and they went out
for the richest prizes in every case.
They won them by gallant work, and
the predictions of the GLOBE have been
verified. 1t is unreasonable to expect
oarsmen to participate in every event
on the programme of regatta, and by
so doing be compelled to meet fresh
men who have not take part in other
struggles. and it is this very thing that
is charged against the Minnesotas.
Again, on each day of the re-
gatta that was finished last night
the Minnesotas started men that
had just finished hard races,
couple with this the fact that has been
emphasized above, that the Minnesotas
did not lose a race, and one can have

ess of the st. Paul boys. They seemed
almost invincible. When the regattas
were arranged the impression seemed to
