REFORM DEMANDED.
Evil Practices of Bank Oncers to BE
Looked Into The Cause of Late Fail

Evil Practices Of Bank Ofncers to lie
Looked Into-The Cause of Late Fall
WASHINGTON, May 24.-Among. the
recommendations which are to be made
to the next congress by the secretary
of the treasury is n measure to limit
the loaning of money of national banks
to their officers and directors and to
require n recorded yea and nay. vote
when loans to snch officers are made
Such bill was introduced in the last
house and went through that body with
out much opposition, but it was loaded
down in the senate by an amendment
offered by Senator Sherman increasing
the circulation of the banks to the par
value of their bond deposits. This
threw the bill into conference commit
tee, and the conference report was
never called up in either house.
The new comptroller of the currency
has had his attention forcibly called to
the need of such legislation by several
of the recent failures in the west. Big
loans to officers had much to do with
the failures of the Capital National
bank of indianapolis, the First Nation
al bank of Cedar Falls, Ia, and the
Brunswick. Ga, banks. The officers of
the Iowa bank were engaged in run
ming a stock farm and borrowed large
ly of the bank to keep the farm going.
Comptroller Ecklcs would like to break
up such practices, and will do it as far
as he can without waiting for new legis-
lation. He will instruct his examiners
to sean the books of the bank closely
for cases of loans to officers. and will
direct attention to the fact that he does
not approve them.

Disgusting Deceptions.

Every democratic paper that makes
any claim to be in favor of free silver
is footing its horn loudly for John q.
Carlisle, and patting him on the back in
an imaginary fight against what they
call the Wall street gang. Every ono
of them know they are trying to bolster
a fraud on the people by this kind Of
stuff. They know that every official
action of his is hand in glove with these
same gold pirates; they know that he
has the law on his side. that he has the
silver to pay out for each certificate
they present to him. and that he could
pay it out for every one of them presented
and stop the whole thing in five min
utes' time If he would only do it.
They know he is pursuing the same
policy that has been pursued for years,
and they know that has been in the In.
terest of the gold ring. Insthe face OF
all this they persist in holding him UP
as a, man who is trying to stand up for
the people. They know when they do
this it is only for deception and fraud.
They know they are trying to deceive
the people by trying to make them be-
lievc what there is not the=icast foun,
dation OF truth for. 1t is indeed
strange that intelligent, well-informed
men will try TO practice such deception

FATAL WIND.
Many Casualties at Clcveland-A ScafPold
Falls With Terrible Results.

Many Casualties at Clcveiand-A Scaffola
Fails With Terrible Results.
CLEVELAND, o., May ga terrific
wind storm struck this city at o'clock
yesterday morning. -Four men were
instantly killed and many injured in
the numerous casualties. A scaffold
blown from its fastenings, struck by
the high wind, seriously and in one
instance fatally injured men employed
by the Cleveland Gaslight & Coke Co.
They are Miles johnson, 45 years old,
living in Hamilton street near Buehl,
compound fracture of the left shoulder
blade; William O'Malla, 25 years old,
living at Hibernian hall, No. ia Ontario
street, fracture of fifth rib, will die;
Michael Murphy, 81 years old, living
on West River street, left shoulder
blade broken, internal injuries and
scalp wound; Michael Hughes, living
on Oregon street, rib fractured and in
ternal injuries
1t had been found necessary to ele-
vate a brick chimney on top of the
Bradley block at the corner of Superior
and Andree streets and for this purpose
a scaffold had been built up twenty
feet above the six story building. See
ing the storm coming the men employed
on it ran to shelter. The wind
was soon upon it and with n tearing of
timbers the whole mass broke loose.
1t dropped straight down the side of
the building till the second floor was
reached. Here it was caught by-an-
other gust of wind and hurled with
terrific force toward the gutter, where
1.,r Irl h ho a
heard for blocks around.
Twenty men under the direction of
Jack Fleming, of the gas company,
were at work in the gutter. They
were working hard to get the ditch
covered so as not to block the sewer
when the rain fell. The huge mass of
heavy timbers fell right in their midst.
They were all thrown off their feet
by the conclusion, but all but four of
their number Immediately sprang up.
The men whose names have been men
toned could not arise as they We're
pinned down by heavy timbers. A
general hurry call was sent in for all
the ambulances in the city. They re-
sponded promptly and the work of res
cue began. AS soon as the men were
extricated they were hurried away to
Lakeside hospital, which is but a short
distance from the scene of the accident.
The men had no chance to save them
selves when the scaffold fell. The first
intimation they had of their danger
was a cry from one of the carpenters
working on the building.
A portion of the plate department of
the Cleveland r olling Mill Company
undergoing construction gave way to
the storm with fatal results. There
were n number employed on the struct-
ure, two of whom were killed instant
ly; another received injuries which will
doubtless prove fatal, and several more
were badly injured.
Another casualty caused by the Sc
verify of the storm was the destruction
of two-story frame house at the cor
ner of Doane and Superior streets. 1t
was blown down and John Cole buried
beneath the debris. When taken out
the man was in terrible condition and
death soon followed, after intense suf-
fering. -

ROBBERS AND ROBBERS.
when Thieves Fail Out Honest Men &c
Their Dues An EXAMPLE

when Thieves Fall Out Honest Men GeHs
Their Dues An Example
The national cordagc trust was or.
ganlzed few years ago for the purpose
OF controlling the manufacture and sale
OF binding twine and other articles
made from sisal The purpose was to
keep out all opposition and to compel
users to pay monopoly prices Farmers
who use binding twine were confronted
at first with the alternative of paving
trust prices IN doing without. Tho
trust went so EAR as to obtain n monop-
oily of the right to use the machipery
necessary in making this twine. To
make its position for the present season
doubly sure the trust undertook to buy
all of the raw material obtainable. So
large had been the profits. and SO great
was the confidence in the money -mak-
ing power of the trust. that at the be-
ginning of the present year it's ''pre-
ferred'' stock WAS worth $3.50 per share,
the face value of which was 800.
Whether the affairs of the company
were incompetently or dishonesty man
agef nay pav'r be known by outsiders,
but II is 20 that therc was 8. large
recent issue of both preferred and COM
mon stock How muc:i was sold at
fancy prices Is not known to tho pub
lie. But in Wall street recently
the bears pounced upon this stock,
and by the same methods used to de- .
press the price of wheat, ran the price
of preferred down 20 s45 per share,
while the common went down to
$3.50. and receiver was appointed
for the company. The price of pre-.
ferred" rallied to $50 per share, but al
that price the loss to holders who. per-
haps recently. purchased at $50 per
share. amounts to shrinkage of 81 OF
every 81 invested. The probability is
that these stockholders are being
robbed. The cordagc trust existed
with the purpose of robbing the farm
ers: robbery finally prevailed among
the robbers. for by watering the stock
somebody doubtless attempted to rob;
and now come the bears" who may
indeed be. and probably are, to some
extent, at least. some of the inside ring
robbers of robbers, and make an open
and public raid upon what has been Il
dividend paying property and rob it of
two-thirds of its market value. 1t is
not proba BILE that farmers, whom these
particular robbers first organized to
rob. will shed many tears of sympathy
for those of the robbers who have late
ly been robbed. Possibly the old saw,
when thieves fall out honest men get
their dues" may be applicable to this
case.-kansas Farmer
