A Wealthy Vayrant,

A ragged and dirty vagrant who gave
the name of John Walsh, A Hayward
street, Brooklyn, was arrested the other
day by Policeman MCGOWAN at the cor
ner of Fulton and Cumberland streets in
that city. He was charged with loung-
ing and vagrancy.
When the sergeant took stock of the
contents of the mans pockets, he nearly
tainted with astonishmcnt. First a roll
Of bills amounting to $50 was found,
then an Emigrant Savings bank book
showing deposits of $1,000 turned up,
and lastly the officer took from an inside
pocket IA book issued by the Provident
Savings bank Of Jersey City, which gave
John Walsh credit for having 81 900 in
the banks keeping. Then the MAJ him
self produced from another pocket a
certificate of deposit in an English bank
which added Sc, 900 to his assets.
In the Butler street court the wealthy
vagrant was fined So, which he paid with
some reluctance from the roll of bills

ALTHOUGH some Indignation vas felt
in certain quarters over the hasty decis-
ion Of the school board on the plans for
the high school, it is now well settled
that the selection is a wise one. Mr..
Whites plans are adopted on the condi-
ton that they can be carried out at an
expense not to exceed 100000, and a
committee of contractors composed Of
Messrs. Donlin, Mckay and Roberts has
been appointed by the board to decide
this question. Mr.. White is confident
that the plans are all right in this re-
spect, and the public will await with in
terest the report Of the committee.

FINANCIAL.
prophet.

Henry Clewes of New York says in bis
weekly letter of Saturday: THE most
depressing circumstance with which this
center has at present to contend is found
condition seems to have originated al
most entirely in the late monetary
scare and the attendant collapse Of the
'industrials.' 1t has been preceded by a
sound, conservative, and fairly active
and profitable condition of trade. The
scare suggested by the large gold exports,
the drain upon the treasury gold reserve,
and the sharp precautions of our local
banks. together caused the eastern and
interior banks to contract their accom-
mediation to customers, and suddenly the
financial sky became lowering and black
from Maine to California. In this way
credit has suddenly become paralyZed in
every section; the weak spots in trade,
ia financing and in banking have been
roughly probed and a large amount of
failures have been precipitated. 1t is
safe to say OF these suspensions that in
a large majority of cases they have not
arisen from real insolvency, but from a
sudden and more or less indiscriminate
withdrawal of the usual credit facilities.
Considering the severity ard the uni
versatility of this contraction of credit,
the wonder is that its effects in the way
of suspensions have not been much
more numerous. This evidence Of the
soundness Of the general commercial sit
uation should pass for something with
those whose incontinent timidity in
lending has done so much towards pro.
ducing this condition Of things. There
is evidence enough to show that those
fears have exceeded any real occasion;
and the true course, at the present
stage, for the New York banks to their
solvent merchant customers, is to make
their present large surplus moro freely
available. The only possible result Of "a
different policy must be to further ag
gravate a situation already made need
lessly severe. The present discrimiEa-
ton against the mercantile community
at our large centers may, unless speedily
moderated, needlossly bring many more
to the verge of suspension. The situa-
ton is one that calls for Il broad and in
telligent comprehension of the real con
dition Of business and for a judgment
that understands how to protect the
lender by protecting the borrower. A
more Of that policy would soon
produce a great change.

Kanaka situation, and what he says, ad-
ded to recent news from the islands,
would convince anybody of the import
ance Of annexing the islands to the

the policy of the present administration
to take this step, but it is very certain
that we must soon take the islands. or
some other power will. Disorder seems
imminent there, and some definite action
must be taken very soon.

The effects of Sunday opening at the
fair are excellent. A dispatch from the
correspondent of a western paper, sent
out Sunday, contains the following:
"The saloons and hotel bars Gown town
were practically deserted today. Since
the opening of the fair the business with
them has been 30 rushing on Sundays
that extra barkeepers were employed in
many of them in order TO attend the
extra Sunday business. Today, how
ever, they had little to do, and the
greater part Of the day they were idle"
This result of Sunday opening should
convince the strlctest Sabbatarian.

AN important proposition is made by
the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
company which ought to meet with
hearty cooperation here. The company
proposes to build lines from this city to
Neihart and Barker, and to Sun RIVER,
provided citizens will subscribe to stock
equal in amount to one-half the cost of
construction. This stock is the regular
stock of the company which pays annual
dividends, that of last year being five
per cent. The advantage of Great Falls
having these lines can scarcely be over
estimated, and the company promises
that in case the matter is properly taken
up a line will be built from here to
Helena next year that will give tele-
phonic connection with all parts Of the
state.

GREAT FALLS IS SOLID.

While there are excellent reasons for
complaint in certain quarters because of
the financial situation, Great Falls feels
the superiority of her condition and can
bid defiance to the waves of financial
trouble which are beating against other
localities.
All the banks here are we'll fortified
and in excellent condition to stand the
strain. In fact their are SO
ample that they have scarcely noticed
the money stringency which has so badly
affected some other sections. Our banks,
it is true, have large sums of money out
to their customers, but this is what
banking institutions are for, and their
loans and discounts are of such charac-
ter as to cause them not the least anX
iety.
There is not another city in the north
west, barring Helena, which has the re-
sources enjoyed by Great Falls for tiding
over a tight money market. Most of
the large loans are to sheep and cattle
men. whose loans are always gilt edged,
and the greater part of these obligations
will be met within the next 80 Gays,
thus giving every bank in the city a
large amount of free money, and a
handsome profit in the way of interest
on these loans. The funds available in
our city banks will be augmented by
from 100000 to 100000 within the
next six weeks. Meanwhile there is al
most certain to be a decided change for
the better in the complexion Of general
business, not only here, but in all parts
of the country.
Great Falls has much to @ thankful
for, and a little patience and forbearance
will fetch us to an autumn of content
ment and prosperity. The crops of
grain, vegetables and hay hereabouts
will doubtless be the finest seer in
many years, and will prove to the world
that we have an agricultural region that
is unsurpassed.

The political situation Of Europe is to-

an established government and an unes-

ia the former that has Won the day.
Omnipotence has belied its name, and

has been crushing. But more than this,
