Our New Bank,

We O. week or two ago gave no.
tice of the organization of new
Bank in this place, since which
time we have heard nothing fur
ther on the subject.
We presume the bank is doing
some business, but finds itself ca
pable Of accommodating only the pa.
irons of the Republican Gazette, as
that is the only newspaper in the
town in which it chooses to adver-
tise.
AS Mr. Pursell, the editor Of the
Gazette, is director in the new
concern, it seems natural that he
should desire to accommodate his
friends first, before reaching out to
others, and hence no advertise
ment of the new Bank will appear
in other columns until such time
rs it may desire the patronage of
the subscribers to such paper.
Present indications are that the
new institution does not desire the
business of the patrons of the DEM
oCRAT, and hence they will, for the
present, have to be content with
the accommodation furnished by
the First Bank.

the balny days OF Grant; when
Black Friday is thrown upon the
prismatic sperturn; when the Inn
peached secetary of war is found
speculating in the tombstOnes that
mark the last resting place of the
nations heroes; when crime unpar-
alleled in the history Of the world,
stalks forth unpublished, and
thievery, jobbery and peculation
are INDUCED in men in high places,
and the republican party enconra-
ges the thievery, because of its
participation in the booty, indeed
"the blush of shame" should man
tie the cheek, and decency should
bow to the dust.
The record of the democratic
party is the oasis in the history Of
the nation, that brightens the eye
of the patriot and gives hope and
encouragement and promis for the
future.
1t is memory of the past; the
striking contrast between the spot
less record of democracy, and the
blackened crime of republicanism,
that rallied the patriots of the pa
tion about Grover Cleveland, and
routed the minions of republican
ism.
The democratic party is proud
of its record.
1t is proud of its president elect,
and it promises in the future, an
era of prosperity, such as this coun-
try has only enjoyed under demo-
cratic rule.

Municipal FOOlishness.

For some years past many toWnt
and cities in this country seen
possessed with the hallucinatior
that they can tax themselves into
prominence and prosperity, ant
under the impulse of this madnes,
have piled debts mountain high or
the taxpayers Of their several cor
porations.
Kansas, perhaps presents the
brightest example of this peculiar
craze, and in that state it is no un.
usual thing to find towns, which
started with hrights prospects ten
or fifteen years ago, that are now
dead and virtually deserted.
No sooner were these town large
and populous enough to permit
their incorporation than the
"boomirg" process was begun and
vigorously pushed until the
chances of substantial prosperity
was fairly entombed.
Generally the first movement
was the erection of q school build
ing costing many thousands and
largely in excess of the needs OF
the present or the reasonable fu-
ture. Electric light plants, water
works and street improvement fol.
lowed in rapid succession and when
all was complete expected enter
prises sought locations in other
places where taxes were less
burden and the town awoke TO the
serious fact that the "boom" was
busted and with it many of the
boomers were busted also.
The history of the Kansas viii
lagos is in somewhat exaggerated
degree, the history of "boom"
towns all over the land.
A public debt Is not a public
blessing and cannot be made such,
no matter how disguised.
A municipal debt is only mort
gage on the future prosperity of
the town, and enables a few specu-
lators to bank on such future to
their own immediate profit.
Public debts should never be Gre
ated except for absolute necessa-
ries.
The whole system of "booming"
by aids to promised enterprises is
not only unwise but unjust, and in
stead of benefiting will work the
injury of the body corporate, how
ever it may benefit q select and un-
certain number of individuals.

Ex.Presldent Hayes Dead.

President Rutherford Birch
ard Hayes died at his home in
Fremont, Ohio, on the 18th inst. OF
neuralgia of the heart.
He was horn in Delaware, Ohio,
Oct. 4, 1929, and had entered on his
list year.
He graduated from Kenyon col
lege and was also student at Har-
vard
He was admitted to the practice
of law In 1S45. He entered the
army as major, in 1861, and came
out in 1895 rs II Brig. Gen. after
having been wounded four times.
He was three times elected Gov
ernor of Ohio, filing the position
with honor. He served one term
rs President, 1877 to 1881, and then
forsook politics altogether, and
lived II retired life.
Atthe date of his death he was
commander in chief of the Loyal
Legion.
Since returning to private life
Ex-president Hayes has identified
himself with the philanthropic and
educational interests of his native
state and the nation. Chief among
his laborers in these connections
have been his efforts for prison re-
form and the upbuilding of the
school systems of the southern
states. In his own state he has
been trustee Of several of the lead
ing universities. Among others,
Ohio Wesleyan University at Della
ware and the Ohio State Universi-
ty at Columbus, at which place a
magnificent manual training bull
ding has just been completed to be
known as Hayes hall.

sion. The honest veteran has moth.
ing to fear from such scrutiny,
while the fraudulent claimant will
be detected and the public Treas
ury relieved to an amount l have
reason to believe far greater than
has heretofore been suspected"
AS the year following this message
showed decrease of 80 per cent
in pensions rs compared with the
year preceding it is fair to con-
clude that "Old Hickory" meant
what he said, and that he gave the
fraudulent pensioner no quarter.
But in the year in which he sent
this message to Congress, with vet
Grams of the Revolution, of 1912
and of the Indian wars on the rolls,
the total expense of pensions was
only $4,OO0,000- less than one
fortieth of what it is now.
"The honest veteran has nothing
to fear from scrutiny" said
jackson, but if he were president
now and were to demand
such a scrutiny he would be de-
nounced as Il "rebel," as "a "traItor-
Gus enemy of the men who saved
the Union" But who doubts what
he would do if no were President
now with u million pensioners on
the lists and an anual expenditure
Of over $l60,000,000?
No matter what the result, he
would attack pension frauds now
as he attacked them in 1884 with u
vigor as much greater now as the
frauds of 1892 are greater than
those Of 1884. AS he says, the hon
est verteran would have nothing
to fear from the scrutiny of the
lists, but it is greatly to be feared
that the honest veterans are Il
minority of the million of those
who are drawing support from the
Treasury. Whether they are or
not, they ought to favor such Il
scrutiny now, for if pensions con-
tinue increasing as they have done
there will be no discrimination
made between the honest veteran
and the fraudulent impostor."
The foregoing is taken from the
columns of our esteemed an infiu-
ential contemporary The Republic
of st. Louis, and we reproduce it
here to apprise our soldier readers
of the growing sentiment of the
public press of the country.
There seems to be Il widespread
opinion that goodly number of the
present number of veterans on the
pension rolls are there by fraudu-
lent claims which a careful and
through investigation would eleim
mate and wether such opinion has
any foundation in fact or not mat
ters but little as to results.
The Republic, hints at the sequel
when it says "If pensions continue
Increasing as they hare done there
OiLL be no discrimination made be-
taCeen the honest Veteran and the
fraudulent ineposter."
That is to say that the time is
not far in tho future when the
whole system will be broken down
by the weight of public suspicion,
in which fall both just and unjust
claims will be smothered.
In our opinion, the only way to
avert such calamity is for the vet
Grams, themselves oat once petit
tion Congress to make through
investigation of the lists at an early
day, and when the same is made
to render every assistance in their
power to make it through and hon
est to the end that public contid-
ence may he res tored.
