"THE KIND THAT CURES"
AN EXCELLENT SHOWING.


Figures That Demonstrate the First Ma
tional Banks Popularity.
A few days ago the HERALD published an
official announcement by the First National
Bank of town showing that the bank had
declared a semi-annual dividend of five per
cent This excellent showing led the HER
AID to make inquiry concerning the pros
perity of tho institution and through the
courtesy of Mr.. John r. Leisenring, the
cashier, we are enabled to make a statement
that cannot fail to interest the people OF
town
This statement is a summary of the bust
ness of the bank since its organization eight
years ago. The surplus of the bank is S2O,.
OOO, which is all the government requires, Sc
that the profits now go to the profit and loss
account, which account amounted at the close
of 1892 mot including the dividend of $1O,'
OOOl to 81 400. The total deposits in the
bank average S35O,OOO. Since the organa.
tion of the bank the net earnings have
amounted to S1Ol 800, and the dividends paid
since the organization have aggregated $685.
600. This is certainly a very creditablC
showing, especially when it is considered that
another national bank has been put on a
sound basis in the town.

ton familiar throughout our broad land,
in domestic waters and foreign seas, can
take hold Of this matter, and the effort
means nothing but success.
Such an effort is due TO the skilled
mechanics located here. to the thousands
Of workingmen, 10 our public institu-
lions, to the clergymen and their helpers
in preserving the morals Of the city, TO
city officials who give valuable time to
keep public works abreast Of the times.
and TO the smaller manufacturers who,
ia the future, will add new lustre TO our
industrial achievements.
Not word Of censure have we for the
officers Of the Board Of Trade. Most Of
them have made praise-worthy efforts to
make that body worthy of its name, and
so have the few members who have
taken an interest In its affairs and trans
actions. But TO those members who
fail TO attend the meetings, who appear
to consider that their duties are done
when they leave their own Offices, and
workshops, blindly believing the public
welfare Is not their welfare, we would
say, arouse and look around.
With the position that Wilmington
proudly holds, an active Board of Trade
is positive necessity, and we have the
material for it. Let every man do his
duty.

PASSENGERS ROBBED OF EVERYTHING.


Dssperadoes Hold Up an Express Train,
Murder the Conductor, Loot the Express
Car and Rob the Passengers.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Nov. The Iron
Mountain express train was held up at
Oliphant, Ark, this morning by seven
fierce-looking desperadoes. The train
men at first resisted all attempts
Of the bandits to carry their
point by storm and this resistance re-
suited in the instant death Of Conductor
McNully, who had displayed unusual
bravery.
Four bandits then held the trainmen
at the muzzles of their big revolvers,
while their pals looted the express car,
blowing open the safe and robbing the
car of everything valuable.
Then the desperadoes besieged the
passenger cars and held up every passen-
ger inside, robbing them of every cent
they had. No estimate can be made this
afternoon of the big haul the robbers
made.

UNTRUE.

Some papers are prone to politics,
other papers to truth, ana there are other
papers. still, the classification Of which
we do not wish to specify.
Here is the Milford Chronicle which the
reader may classify TO suit himself 1t
says:
With hundreds Of men out of work
Wilmington is seriously considering the
question of what must be done. A gon
tleman writes in private letter that to
his knowledge many families are actu-
ally starving in this one only Delaware
city.
One requisite Of gentleman is
truthfulness That is not the truth.
There is not one starving family here
The editor does not dare to give the
name Of the gentleman" who wrote that
private letter, which should have been
sent to the chief of police to the Asso.
ciated Charities, to one Of the Whining
ton newspapers, to the City Council or to
print the letter.
The gentleman" who wrote that let
ter II such a letter were ever written,
cannot mention the location and name Of
single person, much less a family,
starving In this city.
The editor meant to make point for
McKinleyism; is he willing to publish a
lie to make itY He says: until the
tariff question is settled there will be no
change in the business depression, and
the coming winter will find thousands
not only in the great cities, but in the
towns, who are out of work but who are
actually in need of bread
Il is true the tariff raised many false
hopes. IL Is true that the proposal Of
the Republican party to take care Of the
wage earners, at the expense Of the peo-
pie, has brought many men from Ger
tain living on the farm to a precarloui
living in the city but still they are moi
starving. Three months Of "apprehen
sion" could not destroy three years Of
McKinleyism. The editor does not ad-
init that. when he says prosperity anC
happiness under the Mckinley tariff
now, depression and starvation undel
the proposed tariff repeal" for:then hi
admits that there was no permanent
good in the Mckinley prosperity-it putt
a man In the condition of beggar.
What, however, Is the conclusion Of
writer worth who uses the allege,
private and secret starvation of imam,
families hero as the premise for his ar.
gument
It is disgusting and humiliating t
find editors so gulllble shall we say 81
ignorant or so unfair
He may make a choice Of terms. He 4
either ignorant or unfair, provided, o
course, he is truthful.
What we have said is not intended Z
lead to an acrimonious exchange Of ep
thets. We can bear our part in such
contest, II necessary, but it is not neces
sary in this case.
The issue is that Of truth. The assei
ton of the Chronicle or of the Chronicle
gentleman. that many families al
actually starving here, Is untrue and til
editor and his gentleman" ought to bI
if they are not, aware Of the fact that it
. untrue
II 1t is not untrue, why in the name {
all that is sweet, lovely and charitable
did not the gentleman tell the people 1
, home so that they might prevent II
calamity TO the starving and the disgra'
. Of It to our protected city.

Aaron Browne, a respectable colored
man, made an attempt to commit suicide
yesterday morning by taking an
overdose of laudanum. He would have
been successful in the attempt had
not his mother, who found him, quickly
called in physician. The only reason
that his parents can assign for the act
is that he became angry and moody be-
cause his father had severely whipped
him few days ago for being unruly.
