IL Bank Examiner Stone is quoted
correctly by the Morning News he is
more hopeful than accurate in saying
that the credit Of the First National
Bank sis as good as Il ever was after a
loss Of one half its surplus. Suppose IL
should lose the other half, would its
credit increasei So far as the public Is
informed the solvency Of the bank is not
impaired materially but the loss of $50. r.
600, one-half its surplus, is serious
impairment to the credit and reputation
Of the bank. Credit is founded on
ability to pay, on the skin, displayed
and the experience and reputation
acquired in the conduct Of the business.

THE New York World authorita- lively announces that the policy of the Administration in regard to the approaching session of Congress will be as follows:
 First-Silver reform, by the ab- solute and unqualified repeal of the Sherman law.
 Second-Tarif reform to be pros ecuted in accordance with the pledges of the party as soon, but not before, the finances of the country are again upon a settled basis.
 The World adds: "This policy does not mean the postponement of tariff reform, but the accomplish ment of that reform in reasonable, logical and conservative fashion.
 "To the Presidents mind, the silver question is an obstacle unex- pectedly springing up in the path projected for financial and taxation reforms. It must be disposed of at once and for all, before substantial progress can be made. To dodge, to evade it, to build new path around it, would be fatal. It would, he believes, increase the prevailing distress, perpetuate financial disor- der, and in the end block perma- nently tariff reform, for the appa rent earlier achievements of which the evasion might have been at tempted"

There now remains but one thing to be done. The Democratic mem- bers of Congress, acting in harmony and in their plain line of duty, must redeem the promises of the party by carrying out the pledge of the Chicago platform. The people spoke in no uncertain terms with that platform as the text, and the party must carry out those prom ises in the spirit and the letter. Atlanta Constitution.

A California Indian known by the name of Sancho informed B. F. Porter yesterday that the Indians on the reservation where Sancho drives with his Pima wife, had found the remains of a man about two weeks ago between the Maricopa road and the railroad track. There was little left of the body, say the Indians, as the coyotes had strip ped the frame of all it's flesh. The Indians had not heard of the dis appearance of George Korn, but Sancho is of the opinion that this party was he.-Arizona Gazette.

Robert Atkinson came in from his Iron Springs station yesterday. He reports having lost eleven head of cattle that were poisoned from eating Judson powder carelessly left open along the railroad grade. The cattle eat this powder on ac- count of it's salty taste, and the ni- tric acid in the powder soon kills them. Several are said to have died from chewing paper in which the powder was wrapped.

It is said that a valuable discov- cry of tin ore has been made in the low hills about one and half miles east of the Arizona canal dam. It is an oxide, averaging by actual as- say in San Francisco 22 per cent tin. The veln on the surface is about four feet wide and can be traced on the surface over one thou sand feet. Considerable stream tin is found in the gulches and arroyos. Experts say that it is equal to the best Banca tin, and superior to the Australian product.-Coconino Sun.

MT. Rosenkrans, the prosperous sheep and cattle raiser of Nebraska and Colorado, tells us he makes a gross profit 150 per cent on his sheep investment at his home ranch and clears 35 per cent on all his sheep out on shares among the Ne braska farmers. With wool at but eight cents per pound he claims sheep will pay him. He is one of the most intelligent and sensible fiock-masters who appreciate the money-making qualities of sheep, and remains unruffied amid all the free trade fiurrY.--Las Vegas Stock Grower.

WE have gone to Australia for our ballot law, why not go to China for our banking law? asks an ex- change. There has not been bank failure in China for five hundred years. There is only one little law in China for banks, and it is quite simple, too. It provides that if q bank fails and cannot pay all of its depositors every cent due. within a certain time, the banker shall have his head cut off. These simple laws are beautiful because of their brev- ity and effectiveness.

A prospector named Foster, who has been OH a trip through the des- ert in search of the Pegleg mine, recently arrived in Banning and re- ported the discovery of another sad case of death from thirst on the desert. About 120 miles southeast from Banning he came upon the dead bodies of two men; near by lay two dead horses and a dog. All had evidently died from thirst. Mir. Foster found water near by, but the party, through exhaustion or igno- rance of the country, had failed to reach it. He could do nothing and so went on.

THE Phoenix Herald very sensi- bly, remarks: Kingman silver mi ners held a meeting the other day and endorsed the seditious speech of Governor Waite at Denver. The move was mistake. With the cer- tainty that such feeling prevailed throughout Arizona, Congress will not make us a State in the next quarter of a century, and thereby
 we are deprived of the power by which we would be able to help pro- tect our silver interests. It would be a good thing for our silver mi ners to think twice before they speak once in the matter of coun- tenancing sedition. This silver fight is on to stay, probably as long as silver and gold are mixed, and it

A Topeka dis patch of the 26th ult., says the off, cials of that road have such faith in the results of the rain-making experiments of their agent, c, B.

| Cowboy at the Worlds Fair.
ON BOARD STEAMER ATLANTA ! Lake Michigan, July 19, '93.

that 1 would write from Chicago and tell them about the Fair. But time has been too short for letter writing, and all my promises are as yet unkept, so I take advantage oi my first leisure hour to send short letter to THE HERALD and so let it reach all those who are interested in the Exposition. To describe the fair is out of the question, it must be seen to be appreciated, and I will, in few words, tell how one may best see it and what it will cost, In the first place there is no longer any fear of epidemic there ; notwithstanding the many people present in the city and the extreme ly hot weather, the health of the place is good.
 The cost of living is not so high aa one would suppose; of course one can live at a big hotel and spend stack of dollars every day, but for two dollars day one can get good accommodations. I stop. ped at the Buckbee House for that rate, and can heartily recommend the place. It is at 36041 Lake ave- nue, fronting on Lake Michigan, convenient to both suburban and cable railways. The attendance at the fair is about 100000 per day, but the grounds are so spacious that there is never a crowd at one point.
 There is so much to see, that one is apt to think he can not begin to see it all, but any one can take a good look at the fair in ten days, if they go at 1t systematically. By spending dollar or two for official guide books, one can save much time and get all the information necessary for visitors.
 It costs fifty cents to enter the grounds and see all the exposition proper, but there are a lot of side shows on the Midway Plaisance, within the enclosure, which charge from ten to fifty cents admission. Some of these are fakes, some are we'll worth a visit. To see them all costs about fourteen dollars, but five dollars will take one into all that are really worth spending time to visit,
 The Arizona headquarters are at the Territorial building in the north ern part of the grounds. MT. R. L. Hogue, son of Capt. J. T, Hogue, is in charge and makes Arizonans welcome. Our territory has fine display in the mining building, and in the manufactures building dis play of polished stone from the petrified forest of Apache county, attracts a constant crowd. There are a great many people there from Phoenix and Tucson, but very few from the northern part of the ter ritory.
 I am now on my way to Michi- gan to visit my parents, and mean to stop at the fair again on my way west. My advice to any one about to visit the fair, would be to secure a lodging place on the lake front, which is much the coolest location, and take meals at restaurants. Meals on the grounds are about twice as high as outside and the greater part of the people buy their lunch outside, and take it in with them. By doing so the actual ex- pense of seeing the exposition will run about like this: Room and bed S1, meals $1, admission, car fare and incidentals $1, or three dollars per day.
 But this leaves no margin for the
