The Arkansas Banking svatsm.

A long trip through the south is the best
possible means Of convincing man that after
all money is merely representation OF
wealth, says a writer in the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. In no part OF the world it the
system of giving orders to ones neighbors So
complete and general as in this section and
although man can travel couple Of hun
dred miles without coming across a bank he
will lind orders which are practically checks
on almost every turn. One day about a
month ago was collecting and selling goods
IN small town along the valley between Lit
tie Rock and Fort Smith. One merchant
who knew was fairly we'll to do owed the
house S24. He produced silver and currency
to the extent OF $50, and ascertaining at
which hotel was stopping, gave me an order
Tor u on the proprietor explaining
That that gentleman owed him for
groceries. AT dinner time l handed
the order to the hotel keeper, who didn't
seem the least surprised. and told me he
would deduct II from my bill. An hour later
the same order was given me by another
merchant looked at the paper ather hard
accept it, as l had already given credit for
the order and cashed it, With a smile Of pity
Tor my Ignorance, the explanation was given
that the hotel man had given the order to his
hired man on account Of wages. and that the
hired man handed 1t to merchant No. in nav
ment OF an account he had incurred For the
life OF me l failed to see how man by Civ
ing an order on himself from a third party
could lidquidate claim due to a fourth
party, and | said so. The merchant however
insisted on my accepting the paper, which
finally did, and when submitted it to the hotel
keeper second time he expressed no sur
prise whatever, and merely said that made IS
he owed me and that if my bill did not come
to So he would hand me the balance when we
settled. He was about to put the order in his
poccet, when demurred saying that / would
keep 1t until we settled. He said it was all
the same to him, and perhaps 1t was but so
far as was concerned l did not want to have
the same order given me third time though l
am bound to confess that the ingenuity of the
people in providing form of currency for
themselves was deserving of considerable
praise. In all my experience in the
south I have never had any dificulfy
over an order and have about come to the
combustion that in the southern states every
man looks upon himself, more or less, as his
neighbours banker.

I can the statement be denied without sac
rifcing the TRUTH 10 certainly cannot.
What the silver men want is the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of lb 20 l.
Does any fair minded man doubt what the
result of free coinage OF silver at that
ratio would be-
What is the effect of free silver coinage
in the Central and South American

thing, why is it that France did not con
continue the free coinage of silver until
forced to a silver Standard She was too
far sighted to be guilty of such folly. I'm

for the reason that it threatened to bring

The silver men have never yet admitted
that they were striving for silver mono
metallism. They say they are bimet-
allists. They are at liberty to call them-
selves what they please, but they cannot
help admitting that their arguments are
all for silver recommendation. Their
talk of bimetallism is the sugar coating
with which they hope to deceive the peo-
pie into swallowing silver mono
metallism.
Why do they not attempt to show what
the effect of recommendation would be2
They do not dare do So
They talk of the good effects of bimet-
allism, knowing all the while that bimet-
allism is impossible by any plan they
propose. or are willing to accept. They
talk bimetallism and mean monomet-
allism They are not frank Senator
Dolph did the country a service by de-
claring in the Senate that the object of
the silver men is to force upon the coun-
try debased currency-a currency that
would make every farmer poorer, and

men. And for what2 To help the silver
mine owners to get a better price for the

Yesterday Zoo New York the jury in the
case of The state against Prank Ellison.
charged with % murdcr1Us assault upon
Broker William "a Hcnriqucs returned
verdict of guilty. This verdict carries
with DO q sentence Of five years in the
pcuitontiary
This ease has attracted "a vast amount
OF attention ia New York. for the reason
that Ellison is "a popular clubmau and
has recognized place in the McAllister
four hundred Broker Heuriques and his
beautiful daughter, Mrs. Leila Olivia
Ncamo. are also people of some social dis
tinction The murderous assault was the
outcome of relations which existed be
tween Ellison and Mrs. Ncame
Mrs. Neamc was the wife of an Eng
fish stock5roker. For some reason or
other she did not admire him greatly and
sued for a divorce. He filed a cross bill
and named Ellison as correspondent. Eli
son wanted to marry Mrs. Neame, and
was SO persistent in his attentions to her
that she refused 10 see him. 1t is said that
he treated her brutally because she would
not consent to marry him. So offensive
became his conduct that Mr. Henriques
was compelled TO interfere in his daugh-
ter's behalf. Mr.. Henriques, by his in
reference incurred the ill-will of Eli
son. They had been warm friends and
became bitter enemies
Ellison is an athlete about 40 years of
age. Henriques is a small man and old,
being about So years of age. They met in
the street on June last, and Ellison
beat Henriques into insensibility and left
him in almost a dying condition. He
jabbed the iron ferule of his cane into the
face of Henriques repeatedly His bru-
tally excited the indignation of all who
saw the assault.
Ellison has been a petted darling in
fashionable circles. Unless he obtains
new trial and gets a verdict of acquittal
those circles will know him no more.
Those who want to see him will have to
visit Sing Sing.
The testimony in the case shows that
Ellison is not an admirable character.
He admitted that he is bad man, but
some of the things charged against him
called a blush of shame to his cheeks and
made him say he is not so bad as the evil
dence made it appear. He has been en-
gagged in many assaults of a particularly
brutal character, if the allegations of the
prosecution are true. He started in life
with handsome face and figure and a
fair-sized fortune. He has spent his
fortune and his face bears the marks of
the kind of life he has led He might
have had useful and brilliant career.
He chose otherwise. He preferred sensual
pleasures to ennobling pursuits. The end
of his career is what might have been
predicted. And there appears to be a
good many yonng men in New York in his
social circle who are much like him, and
whose careers promise to be no more envi-
able, Having plenty Of money and no &C.
cupation, they easily enter the paths that
lead to disgrace and dishonor.

That Danger spot.

Yesterday the MORNING NEWS called
attention to the pond on the White Bluff
road, at the intersection of the Savannah,
Florida and Western and Belt Line roads,
and suggested that it is a danger spot,
and ought TO have been drained sometime
ago In a communication TO the MORNING
News, published elsewhere, Mai. Bland
ford, county engineer, says that the pond
is danger spot; that is is the duty of
the railroads to drain it, because it1is on
their right Of way, and that they have
been notified and promised to drain it.
1t Is fully three weeks since the pond
began to attract attention and, although
it is admitted to be dangerous to the
public health, nothing has been done to re-
move it. Is there not neg
lect of duty somewhere? II
authority is lodged in anybody to
have the pond drained ought not that
authority to have been exercised prompt
ly? What is the use of permitting a dan
ger spot to remain? What reasonable ex-
cuse is there for permitting it to remain?
Suppose it should cause sickness and the
loss of several lives, would the excuse
that Maj. Blandford presents in his com
munication be regarded as a sufficient one
for not having had the pond drained i'm
mediately after attention was called
to it?
The thing to do is to drain the pond at
once. If the railroads cannot be induced
to do it then the county authorities
should take the matter in hand
and do the work The ques-
ton of the responsibility for the cost
of the work could be settled at some
future time. The thing of the greatest
importance now is to have the danger re-
moved. Not only should the water be
drained off, but the bottom of the pond
should be thoroughly sprinkled with some
disinfectant.

The whisky trust wants to be more
heavily taxed. A very shrewd trust is
the whisky trust. There are good rea-
sons why it wants to be more heavily
taxed. The Evening Post says: ''The
trust holds 100000 gallons, and, last
years efforts having failed, trust agents
are actively at work trying to induce con-
gress this year to raise the tax. They
will ask for an increase of 81 so per gal
Ion, but will be content with so cents per
gallon. For, don't you see, the new tax
would not be levied on the 5000, 600 gal
Ions now in store, but only on future
product. AS price never interferes in any
marked way with the consumption of
whisky, the future product can easily
stand the new tax, while its imposition
would add just so much to the selling
price of stock on hand. An addition of so
cents gallon in the tax would put pre-
cisely S4,000,0O0 into the treasury of the
trust. The trust would like to make it
SS,000,0O0 by dollars increase, or SIP
100000 by an increase of 81 SO" If a tax
should be placed on the whisky in bond
the trust wouldn't be quite so anxious
for heavier tax.
