WORLD WITHOUT BANKS.
such Was the state OF Things = Littl.
Over n Century Ago

such Was the state OF Thugs n Iittle
Over Century Ago.
Illustrations of the economic revolu-
ton abound on every hand, writes Prof.
Richard T. Ely in the Chautauauan.
Those modes OF protection which we
take as n mere matter Of course, were,
for the most part, entirely unknown In
1850. 1t will be readily admitted that a
business world which could exist with
out banks must have been a radically
different business world from that
which we now know. 1t is only a little
over century since there were but
three banks In the entire United States
If these banks had entirely suspended
their operations, undoubtedly harm
would have resulted; but most men and
women would have continued their or
binary course Of life and been entirely
unaware of the disaster. Tho misfor-
tune would In no way have entered
into the lives OF the great majority of
citizens. Should one-half of our thou
sands of banks now fail, II would be a
deplorable calamity, the like of which
has rarely been witnessed Suffering
and poverty would be widespread, and
undoubtedly thousands and hundreds
of thousands would be deprived OF the
barest necessities of life

of Chicago.
The committee aims 20 have this Is
brary representative of the best litcra-
ture of all nations It's object is not
only TO guide and influence children,
but TO furnish parents with suggestions
for the selection and arrangement of
home libraries. II will at the same
time be an exhibit for publishers of
children's books and periodicals from
all over the world.
The managers of tho children's build
Ing believe IL best not to have q room
specially set apart as library, which
TO be seen would have TO be sought.
With rare forethought toward the
most easily accessible and widest bene-
fits In all departments of the building,
they have decided that the books and
periodicals shall be arranged in a gem
eral reception-room, where they would
come more constantly 10 the notice of
visitors than II isolated.
Besides the library proper, two cases
are to be set apart consisting of tho
choicest books, one of twenty volumes
for young children and another OF flfty
for youth. These are TO be as nearly as
possible model collections and chosen
with the best wisdom of the whole com
mittee The idea is largely education
al. and the hope is TO make this exhibit
of great Importance to parents and chill
dren whose opportunities are small.

COST OF OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
The Attorney Paid Dearly for Leaving n
Team at tho Wrong Livery

The Attorney Paid Dearly for Leaving =
Team At tho Wrong Livery.
a good story Is related by the Lewis
ton (Me.) Journal on an Auburn attor~
ncy who went 70 livery stable and
hired n team for two or three hours, and
ut the end OF that time. In "a state of
Observation-Disclosures, left IL at another
bvery stable, where 1t remained eight
days At stable No. l there was no
worry about tho team. They knew the
attorney was perfectly good for the
pay. They knew II he kept the team
for month that the bill would DC paid
promptly on presentation. They pre-
summed that no knew what he was
about and concluded il was his business
and not theirs. At stable no. there
was an equal freedom from anxiety.
The attorney came there. left the team
and went away, saying nothing. They
put the horse into a stall and 'challxed
IL down" on tho Office slate, knowing
him to he a business man who paid cash.
The attorney and the proprietors OF
both stables met each other frequently,
but nothing was said about the team.
All of them were ignorant of the condi-
ton of things and all were perfectly at
ease. As for the attorney, he never
thought of the team again. Discovery
came at last, and the attorney was pre-
seuted n bill from stable-keeper No. 1
for hire of a team for eight days, and
later stable-keeper No. came round
with another bill for boarding the team
the same length of time. To say that
tho attorney was astonished puts 1t
mildly. The basis of settlement is not
officially learned. but it was less than
the faces of the bills, which had been
made out at the going prices.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
An Interesting Letter From the
Home OF CncIs SAM"
WAsnINaroN. ID. a..

w AoHiNdION, ~. ",
March ID, 1893.
President Cleveland has not
changed his habits since he was ia
the White House before. Every
morning he has been at his desk
hard at work by 2 O'Clock, and
midnight has found him still at
that desk nearly every night. It's
well that he has such industrious
habits, as up to the present time
he has been given but little time
to work between the hours Of 10 A.
NJ. and 6 p. NJ, owing to his
numerous callers.
-"
The semi-official announcement
that President Cleveland would not
remove until the end Of their terms
except for causes ether than politi-
cal, any Of what are known as four
year officials-that is, officials com
missioned for term of four years,
resulted in lessening in u small
degree the pressure for office, but
there is still enough, aud to spare,
as may be seen and heard on all
sides.
Speaking of office.seckers, the
number of them now in Washing
ton has been greatly exaggerated
by the newspapers. l have no
means of knowing-it is more than
doubtful whether anyone has
whether the statement repeatedly
made that there are more applica-
tions for office than ever before is
true or not, but do know, as do
the Washington hotel keepers to
their sorrow, that the number of
men seeking Offices In person is
today much smaller than 1t was
months after the Inauguration of
Harrison. tits probably true that
many of the thousands of Demo
Gratis who came to the inauguration
and remained until the first of this
week were Office seekers, but if so
they filed their papers and went
back home after paying their
respects to the President and his
cabinet, and our hotels arc not
much more crowded at this time
than is usual at this season. And
at mono Of them can be found the
seething, loud talking crowds which
were their most prominent features
until midsummer following Harri-
sons inauguration. 1t is just as
we'll TO tell the truth about these
things. There are Democrats here
after the offices which they believe
their work in the campaign entities
them to-unfortunately more of
them than there are offices to be
tilled-but there is no such crowd
lug and wild scrambling as has
been represented.
West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1893-03-16

1t is more than probable that
President Cleveland aud hs cabinet
are giving more attention to the
critical financial condition Of the
country than they are to making
appointments to Office. The Offices
can wait, but the continued demand
upon the Treasury for gold must be
met or the country will be plunged
into panic, the result and end of
which no man can pre- dict. Score.
tary Carlisle ia confident Of being
able to meet all demands for gold,
but is not yet prepared to make his
plans public. The prevalent opin.
ion seems TO be that an issue Of
bonds will have to be made.
