1t IL worth noting, particularly by
those who think that the government
il the sole and sovereign power for the
prevention Of all sorts OF evils, that
there are at the present time in the
city OF New York come three score ma
tlonal banks, that these banks are re-
quired by law to keep constantly on
hand o reserve in cash equal to one
fourth Of their deposits, that consid-
cradle number OF them have been un'
able to keep this reserve, so that for
some weeks the average holding OF
cash by all the banks has been below
the legal requirement, and yet thatn
one in New York or in the United
States doubts for moment that every
dollar Of the deposits IN these banks is
as safe as II it We're in the pockets oil
the depositors, This remarkable state
OF things exctes no remark, because it
has come about in the natural course OF
events, and in pursuance Of the laws OF
mutual aud common interest, far more
potent than any laws that Con-
gress Gun pass or the courts en-.
force. Practically the sOlvency OF
every bank in the clearinghouse is
guaranteed by all the others, and this
guaranty is absolute and accepted aa
such. It is agreed upon and applied
by the voluntary action Of the bank OF.

but there has been created and kept in

Tho france Medical Institute.

The standing and reputation Of the
above named institute in both the pro.
fessional and business world is too well
and widely known to require any ex-
PLANTATION at the present time. DR..
France and his colleagues make a
specially of chronic diseases and dis
eases OF the eye and ear, and as their
success in the treatment Of these OBJ
stinate diseases is becoming known to
tho citizens OF Columbus and other
cities of Ohio and adjoining states,
their practice is enormously increased.
DR.. France is an educated physician,
devoted to his profession and fully con-
sclous OF the great responsibilities in
volved in the practice OF medicine. Re-
garding reference topatients cured, they
never underany circumstances whatever
give the names Of patients to anyone, as
the majority OF persons are very justly
sensitive on such subject Consulta-
ton free and confidential.

will sresult in tie for either side,
thus peutraiizing the effect OF the fran
ehise." The different members OF a
family do share the same political SEN
timents, as a rule; but this would not
result in q tie" unless all families
were OF tho same size. Here is family
that belongs to one political party, and
consists Of husband and wife and four
grown.up daughters. II all voted, this
would result in two votes for one party
and six for the other. The object Of
taking q vote is to ascertain the wish
OF tho majority. Is it not reasonable,
then, that on election day family
containing six adults should count for
more than family containing only
two?

UNDER WATER.
The City OF Buffalo. N. T.. Waited By
Disastrous Fluo(1.

The City Of Buffalo. n. T.. Waited By .
DisastFous Flood.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. l0.-The food
disaster in South Buffalo proves to 10
of the greatest magnitude. The part
of the city devastated is not thickly
populated, but it is estimated that at
least 500 houses are surrounded
with water of depth ranging
from to feet, and that fully
$500 people have been driven from
their homes. Thirty miles of streets
and ali adjacent land except the en-
bankments thrown up for railroads are
under water. The submerged section,
if squared, would extend SS miles each
way. Buffalo river and Cazenovia
creek are lost in the flood The whole
section is a vast sea of water.
Many miles of sidewalks have fioated
away, along with few small houses
and many outbuildings Much damage
has been done by the water uudermin-
ing the foundations of asphalt pave
mentA 1t cannot be learned that any
lives were lost, but there were many
narrow escapes. Dan Donohue and his
wife, who live in q house located
near the Delaware, Lackawanna 4
Western tracks at Abbott road, came
near finding a watery grave. The
water was fast rising around their
house. and they attempted to escape
through the window, hut jumped short
of the boat and fell into the water.
They were rescued with much diffi.
Guilty. Hundreds Of rescues were made
by officers and citizens at considerable
personal risk.
The main tracks of the Lake Shore,
Nickel Plate, Buffalo & Rochester,
Pittsburgh & Western and New York
& Pennsylvania railroads at Tefft street
are completely under water. and trains
are being run with danger. If the
flood keeps ON the tracks will be
washed away. 1t is impossible 20 &C.
curately estimate the loss done to prop
erty and streets, but it will certainly
exceed 100000. Every family in the
district will suffer loss.
One curious result of the food is
that it caused a water famine. The
flooded section is newly settled and
many of the streets are without city
water. Drinking water in many OF
the inundated streets is taken from
wells. Now these wells are filled up
with muddy water wholly unfit for use,
and there is great discomfort on ac-
count of the difficulty of getting pure
water. There may yet be serious suf-
fering from this cause.

TEXAS CATTLE STARVING.

No Rain in Many Sections for Months
aud Ranges Are Devoid of Grasa.
GALVESTON, Tex, Dec. 10. Capt
Joseph F. Nash, an extensive ranch
man. reports that in many locali-
ties in western Texas no rain has
fallen for at least five months and
consequently there is no grass, the
range in many sections having been
completely eaten up. Range cattle
have been reduced to skeletons and are
dying by hundreds. With the advent
of the cold weather, which generally
strikes Texas by the latter part of De.
cember or the early days of January,
the loss of cattle is expected to be
