1T is a good sign when we read OF
banks resuming little more rapidly
then they are suspending. The fact
is that the suspension of banks has
been caused by useless uneasiness and
a consequent run on them by deposit
tors and not because they were in-ol-
vent. Just as soon as they are able to
call in their loans they are beginning
to resume business and confluence is
being rapidly restored, money is now
more easily procured and at a smaller
interest. The clouds are passing
away,

THE Cincinnati Times Star, Repub-
lican, laments and admits that the
advocacy OF free wool by the democ-
racy has not driven the wool men of
Ohio into the Republican ranks, but
that the largest wool growing coun-
ties in the state continue to walk up
to the polls and give the largest Dem
ocratic majorities. Doubtless Frank
Hurd and Tom Johnson have educat-
ed the wool counties into the idea
that it is dishonest for one man to re-
ceive bonus for raising wool and
that bonus paid by his neighbor who
gets none for raising cattle. These
are object lessons often used by two of
Ohio's best men, Hurd and Johnson.

THOSE NATIONAL BANK SUSPEN-
,SIONS


The report just issued by the comp.
trOller of currency on national bank
suspensions throws a very different
light upon reports that have been cur
rent. 1t has been stated thai since
Jan. l, 1893, 200 national banks had
failed. The statement from head
quarters at Washington makes it only
105 that ave gone into the comptrol-
Ter of currency's hands, and of this
number IA have already resumed bus
mess, and during next week others
will also resume. The report says:
BY geographical sections the fail
ures are distributed as follows: New
England states, 2; Eastern states, 2;
Middle and Mississippi Vale, states,
Is; North western states, 6; Western
states, 30: Southern states, %. Total,
los.
After tabulated statement OF
states with the number of banks and
failures in each the report says:
1t is to be observed that in 81 states
and territories there have been no
failures OF national banks, viz: In
Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecti-
cut, Delaware, District of Columbia
Idaho, Indian Territory, Louisiana,
Maine, Maryland Massachusetts,
Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South
Carolina, Vermont, Virginia and
West Virginia.
1t is further worthy of note that no
national banks have failed in Boston,
Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Pitt0burg,
Baltimore, Washington, Buffalo,
Cincinnati, st. Louis, New Orleans,
San Francisco, Minneapolis, ST. Paul,
and numbers of other great CONNER
cial centers and that but one has
closed in New York, two in Chicago |
and one in Milwaukee. The cause of
the failures in New York and Chicago |
were due largely to mismanagement,
as were numbers of others.
Texas is the fifth state in the Union
as to the number of national banks.
Pennsylvania comes first with 397
banks and no suspension, New York
)to duu UWO 5u5pouolObo. nhooo'Ohu-
sets 269 and two suspensions, Ohio
PAL and two suspensions, and Texas

Colorado has suffered most, for with
,nly 3S banks it has had Is suspen-
,ions.
AS stated by the comptroller
If currency 80 per cent of the
suspensions were occasioned by
needless scares and while
A OF the banks have already resumed
business, all the others 30 needlessly
Effected will shortly follow suit. But
Texas has particular cause to be
proud of her banks, and her people
re resting quietly in expectation of
congress speedily working out the
problem that is now so vex-
ng this continent. But los banks in
trouble is very small part

"AN ELEPHANT ON HAND.U

|
We have the largest kind of an ele
plant on hand and "what to do will
it'' will soon become an absorbing
| question to our statesmen who in 8
few days will assemble in congress
We have millions and millions of sill
yer in the United States treasury and
there seems to be no man in all this
broad land competent to say what we
shall do with II. In the vaults of the
treasury it is worth to the govern.
ment and the people not as much as
90 many peas. How then can we use
it and make it valuable might
be the question? Old Hickory
turned loose large surplus
OF paper money to the states
after having taxed the People of the
states to obtain it, under contract
that it was to be returned by the states
on demand of the government. The
demand was never made and the
states absolutely squandered it. If it
will be practical to turn loose this sill
Yer under the present coinage law
among the people all agree that it
would produce financial ruin. We
have, therefore, the ancmoly of hav-
ing millions in the treasury locked up
so securely that we cannot use dol
lar of it. There have been various
suggestions as to what should be done
with it. The Nation suggests, rather
flippantly to be in earnest, that we
manufacture silver spoons, dining and
tea sets of it. That would certainly
crafty the silversmiths and newly
married women of the country. The
Nation, in the event of that PROPOSE.
ton being rejected, proposes that we
use it to build silver monu-
ments after the order Of
the pyramids of Egypt, with
apartments In each monument, kind
of sarcophagus, in which the silver
men should reside and in grim kind
of humor intimates that the occupants
OF the rooms in silver monuments be
reduced to the same condition that the
eastern monarchs were when they
were inferred. That is that these
monuments should be erected in mem.
DRY of the dead. We do not know
whether the proposition of our es-
teemed contemporary includes the
policy of Fastening their occupancy
of these tombs by administering lit
tie poison to them or not. Nor are we
informed how Mr.. Bland and men of
his ilk would approve the plan. But
if we can't use this silver in the treas
ury in any other way, Mr.. Bland and
his silver friends onght to be willing
to play the role of martyrs, for "the
blood of the martyrs is the seed of the
church," and who knows but that this
sacrifice of their lives, that have tn ,
prospect of being useless to them after
the repeal of the Sherman law might
result in some kind of a remonetiza-
tion of silver, for by the time we had
built monuments to all of them
silver would be scarce and therefore
more valuable, and more on parity
with gold But, in earnest, this is a
very difficult problem to solve, and it
is going to puzzle the brains of our
statesmen more than any other ques-
tion that will come up for their con-
sideration.

THE ENGLNEER,S REPORT.

Engineer Fanning's report, pub
lished elsewhere this morning, should
bring assurance even to the most
doubling Thoma9. He passes upon all
the points that have been 30 much
discussed; seepage through the
dam and around through
the west bluff, securing a
the toe of the dam, stability of the re
maing five headgates and future dan
ger at the east end OF the headgate
masonry after the work now in hand
is completed. He has before this
given his estimate of the cost of the
work; the time it will require
to complete it is dependent on
the at present unknown quantity
OF how much excavation will be re-
quired. The force is now equipped
with the best machinery and appli-
ances and the work will be pushed
rapidly and scientifically. With the
excavation finished, the work of
pu ting in the masonry will require but
very short while. Everything is
all right citizens, and progressing as
smoothly as shone the beautiful sur
face of the lake during the regatta.
Don't expect miracles. Don't expect
to accomplish everything in a mo-
men.t Be patient and keep a stiff
upper lip ard everything will come
around all right.

The Australian Law.

j Eight years ago the agitation begar
Australian system of secret balloting
It was met with considerable opposi.
ton at first, but as the people began te
appreciate the manner in which voters
in large cities were kept at the mercy
of corporate interests and driven like
dumb cattle to the polls, the absolute
necessity for such system as. that OF
the Australian regulation became ap-
parent.
Four years ago the new ballot act
became a law in Missouri, It COM
pletely revolutionized our voting priv
ileges and practices, and while its first
practical test was accompanied by
some misunderstanding, the general
results were indorsed and applauded.
The law is now thoroughly engratted
upon our political system, and will re-
main there, subject to such amend
ments as changed conditions may from
time to time suggest.
The present general assembly has
enacted two important changes in the
ballot law. One is an amendment
providing that where the chairman and
secretary of a convention fail. from any
cause, to certify the nominations made,
any three or more delegates may do SO.
This will relieve candidates of much
anxiety, since on several recent oc
cassions the chairman has died or the
secretary gone abroad before the pro-
per certificates of the work OF conven-
ton have been filed with the county
clerk.
Another amendment provides that
hereafter no judges. of election will be
permitted to enter the booth with an
elector, but will be required to make
out the disabled voters ballot in the
presence OF the judges and clerks,
These changes in the law have al
ready received the approval OF Gov.
Stone, but they will not become the
law until ninety day hence, and are
consequently not available for this
springs municipal election. ferson

clever newspaper correspondent
..Bab, y is in reality Mrs. Mallon. Sht
is by birth a Baltimore woman, hel
grandparents belonging to the old
Sloan family, in Hartford county, Md.
He full maiden name is Isabel Allerdice
Sloan. When quite young she met
William Mellon, an Irish gentleman,
and she was married to him in New
York city.
Then for four, years she lived in Ire
land and afterward in London. She
returned to New York in 1888, and q
year later her husband died. Then
she took up newspaper work, becom-
ing first connected with the New York
Star, in which her now famous ..Bab's
Babblen started. The bright and tenn
mime style of these letters made sue
cess for their author from the begin
ing. In 1888 she became connected
with New York pattern publishing
house, and performed a great deal of
editorial work on one of the periodicals
issued by the firm. In 1888, upon the
demise of the Star, her ..Bab" letter
was transformed to New York syndi-
cate. At this same time she resigned
all other editorial connections to asso-
ciate herself with the editorial staff of
the Ladies Home Journal and this per-
iodical now controls her entire time
and work, excepting her letter for the
Times. Mrs. Mallon is young woman
and resides in fat of her own in New
York city, where her mother lives with
her. In connection with her s.Bab"
letter she has remarkable record in
that, though she has now written it
continuously for nearly seven years she
has never missed a single week during
hat time, although the work has oc-
been done from bed of

Save the Fish.

/ q
i One of the most interesting and cer-
tainly one Of the most important meas
i ures now pending In the general assem-
bly, is the substitute reported BY the
house compittee on criminal jurispra-
i dence providing for the better protect-
ion and preservation Of fish. This bill
embodies the main features of the bill
introduced BY Hon. Richard A. Collins
of Wayne. and has very properly at
tracted the best thought and consider-
alton Of the Legislature.
Those who have, in even the most
amateur way taken occasion to visit
the pools, lakes and rivers Of Missouri
cannot but have been impressed at the
shocking manner In which our food
fish are being destroyed. II Warit0n dis-
regard for the future has characterised
SO many men engaged Ii fishing - ~,
business and for pleasure that some q
our best tribes Of fsh have entirely
disappeared while others can only be-
now caught with difaculy and IN small
numbers.
Mr., Collins proposes to deal with
this criminal waste sas II should be
dealt with vigorously ami by = law
which cannot be disregarded, evaded
or transgressed without the severest
penalties. His bill provides n gen.
eral, that no poisonous thing, IuedicSr
Gated drug or explosive Of any kind
shall be used to catch fishin the waters
Of this state; that only . minow seine,
fifteen feet In lenght, may be employed,
and that for thu sole purpose Of ,atch-
minows except whore the ponds-po
or reservoir is entirely within the
premises owned BY the person using
such devices; that every individual or
corporation engaged in the sale Of yex.
plosives. except gnnpower for ortlina-
ry purposes. shall be required to have
a permit from the county court clerk.
issued upon the filing Of an afIidavit
that such individual or corporation win
not knowingly permit said explosives
to be used for catching or killing fisb. I

buy such explosives shall make simil-
ar affidavit. Proper penalties are a. !
tached making the bin complete and
