July 25, 1898, will begin at Chicago
the worlds educational congresses. The
most distinguished educators from all
the world will be there to exchange
views. We hope for two things in con-
nection with their meetings. Yes, come
to think of it, three. One is that they
will do what, so far as we know, no
body of school teachers or doctors ever
did yet-have their meeting rooms well
ventilated, so that good, pure air will be
in circulation. Another is that they
will tell US why the proportion of con-
victs who can read and write is steadily
increasing in our penitentiaries. The
third is this, Why is it that in news
paper Office good writers are so much
more abundant than good printers anc
business managers?

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties Of perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation;
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

1t is a pity that Dr. Adolph Soetbeer
did not live to greet the international
silver conference at Brussels and give it
the light of his great thought. DR.. Scot
beer was seventy eight years old and a
professor at the university of Gottingen.
He was the highest authority in the
world in matters pertaining to the coin
age Of money. With the conscientious,
painstaking quality of the German mind,
he investigated everything pertaining to
money and finance, beginning with the
amount of gold and silver dug from the
worlds mines year by year, as far back
as any record goes. Coinage and bank
ing laws also came under his careful
study. One of his most important works
is the history of the production of the
precious metals since the discovery of
America by Columbus. DR.. Soetbeer
was bimetallist and his plan for max
ing gold and silver money circulate to.
gether will doubtless be the starting
point for all schemes to that effect fol
many years to come.

BANK FAILURES.
The Co numerical National, the Bank
OF Commerce and
The Mech anics Saving Bank and Trus
Co., of Nashville, all suspend Pay
ment,

On last Saturday the whole husi-
ness world III Nashville was thrown
into CONSERVATION by the suspension
of the Commercial National Bank.
This was one OF the strongest banks
in the city, and there had never Leen
the least suspicion OF anything
wrong with it. This bank has al
ways done a large business with the
cotton house of Dobbins & Darcy, and
it was their custom to cash the drafts
drawn by the firm against cotton
shipped to New York. The bank
also permitted them to overdraw
largely. The assignment of Dobbins
& Darcy, owing the bank $1,000,
was the cause Of the suspension OF
the latter.
The following card has been pub
lished by the President Of the bank.
1.-THE failure OF the firm OF Doboins
& Darcy involved the bank in q
heavy loss, the exact amount OF
which cannot yet be ascertained
The stringency Of the money market
East rendered it difficult to redis
count, and as rumors detrimental tC
the interest of the bank were being
circulated on the streets of Nashville
and in order that run on the bank
might be avoided, and all creditors bt
permitted to share alike in its assets
q suspension was regarded as thu
OnIv course left TO the bank.
NEARLY the entire amount OF the in
debledness OF this firm to this BAN
was brought about by means Of grOs
misststements as to shipments of cot
ton made by Mr.. Darcy to tn
cashier.
From careful estimate of tn
assets of the bank there can be n
reasonable doubt but that all cred
tors will be paid in full just as 500
as the assets Of the bank can b
realized on.
SHOULD the entire amount involve
in the DObbins & Darcy failure be
total loss and all othel doubtfl
claims be charged off after exhaus
ing the surplus and undivided profit
the impairment of the capital stoC
cannot be very great.
1.-the surplus and undivided prom
amount to about 100000"

Farms of Cecil.

| According to the census there are
5SS farms in Cecil county occupied by
their owners which are free from en-
cumberance. And 405 others that are
mortgaged. There are 646 tenant
farmers or renters. About one third
only of the farmers have free homes.
There are encumbrances on the homes
of 1873 families amounting to $1.1l4, O76.
The property this incubus of debt rests
on is valued at s., 1856 1866. Pretty nearly
one half is sunk under debt which il
present conditions continue, these
struggling families can never pay, and
one by one they will have to give up
and leave their home to try something
else or step down into the increasing
army,of tenant farmers! The present
owners, or rather occupiers, may hang
on while, but their children must
inevitably moye out and on. 1t is a
dismal prospect for the future! And
this condition of affairs exists among
the thrifty farmers of Cecil The farmers
of Cecil county were never SO homeless
since the county was organized more
than two hundred years ago. as they
are at this time and there can be little
doubt that this change from independ-
ence has been created within the last
quarter ola century. This entire curse
of homelessness can be traced to our
present financial system.

Miller to tell his fortune bs cards.
After looking at the cards. I told Miller

The Condition of Maryland Farmers

The census bulletin of the farmers
of Mary land contains some import
ant facts, among which we note the
following;
Among 100 families in Maryland
living on farms Al own the land free
from incumbrance, 10 own i: under
mortgage Indebtedness and 81 hire
their farms.
The mortgage Indebtedness on the
farms of the state amounts to S12,.
753,S27 or 3s.49 per cent, of their
value-a little more than the total
state debt. The average rate of in
terest on farm mortgages is 5 70 per
cent and the payment of interest
requires 800 per year to each family
indebted 1t is also stated that each
mortgaged farm is worth on the
average $4.251 and is subject to a
debt of 1886.
The city papers pronounce this a
good showing" We do not think
1T is. Neither will any farmer think
so, with wheat selling for IS cents a
hushel. But it Is among the best
showing of any state in the Union.
Maryland is about the most advan-
tageouly located state for forming in
the country, with the best city
markets in the country lying con
tgaous and unsurpassed facilities
for reaching them. But no farmer
can look with complacence to paying
this immense mortgage debt from
the products OF the soil under exist
ing conditions which have strangled
agriculture IN the west and south.
1t is only question of a little more
time when Maryland will feel the
tightening grip of the devouring gold
basis process of British policy i'm
ported from Threadneedle street.
