ment of labor come from all quarters
When requested to state his views about
future legislation. the senator only con-
sented TO say: Revision of tariff taxation
ought now to follow in the regular session,
only thirty days distant. I predict that
We will enter upon solid and lasting
career of prosperity for the Iaboring and
producing masses of every section of our
beloved Union"
'On the Democratic side of the chamber.
while there were strong differences of
opinion, do not know of single un-
friendly feeling left by the protracted dis
cussion. Neither party organization nor
personal relations have been disturbed.
We will take up our work on the tariff and
other great questions when We meet here
in December as If nothing had happened
To mar our peace With one another or to
impair our strength for the public good
Our faith in the present able and thorougiy

greater than now, and to my mind the
future wears bright and promising as
pect."

tons recently issued. Secretary of the
Treasury Carlisle today instructed the
mints at Philadelphia and New Orleans to
coin seigniorage into standard silver dol
lars.
The adjournment of the senate without
confirming the nomination of Hornblower
to the United States supreme bench has
the effect of rejection. The president,
therefore, will be compelled to send in his
name again or nomina to a new man.

Fred Douglass, the colored orator, was greatly wrought up at Chicago by Stephen B. Weeks, professor of Trinity College, North Carolina, who read paper on negro suffrage in the South. The profess or said: Negro suffrage is failure. It must remain failure so long as it is not an ally of the white vote. A large per- centage of the southern people are of English descent. They will not submit to negro domination. The white man secure this result by fair means. He has respect for law, and for that reason seeks to rule under the law. When he cannot do that, he bulldozes and counts out. No knows what negro domination is. It means the destruction of property, ruin and bankrupty." When Professor Weeks had finished, MT. Douglass. who was on the platform, arose and made an impas- stoned reply. "You are not afraid of ne- gro domination" he said, shaking his cane at the professor. The negro never can rule this country. He would be out voted by the 6O,OOO,OOO of whites and overwhelmed by your superior intelli- gence. There is no opposition to the ne- gro in the south until he aspires to rise. So long as he is ignorant and lazy, no one disturbs him. If he aspires to become a lawyer or doctor, he at once becomes an upstart." The speaker in conclusion told the professor to go back to his home and tell the people there that they are wrong. "Tell them," he said, "that hon. esty is the best policy. Tell them that some day might may be right" Profess or Weeks made no reply and the congress adjourned.
 Due to the old women of both sexes who withdraw their money from the banks and store it away" said ex-Post- master General James, when asked the cause of the financial stringency. Banker Van Norden of New York was asked the same question and answered: "The country banks are keeping reserves of 50 and even 60 per cent, and just as long as they continue to draw money from New York for the purpose of locking it up in their vaults, just so long will the strin- gency continue" Another metropolitan financier calls attention to the fact that the safe deposit companies are letting more than twice their usual number of deposit boxes, and most of them are be- ing used to hoard up currency. A Cali fornian hired 8 box in New York last week and placed therein $25, ,OOO in gold. Another capitalist locked up $2O,OOO in the same way. These are the Micawbers of trade who are always waiting for some thing to turn up. How they could help matters if they would only take hand in this turning up business, and would invest their gold in some legitimate busi- ness!

springfeld Rspublican: The thorough.

Springfield Republican The thorough going republican partisan, who is far seeing business man as we'll, or has ordin- ary business judgment, does not know just how to take the present situation in congress. As partisan he cannot help rejoicing at the attitude of the free silver democrats like Vest in the senate, who will have free silver if it smashes things generally, or the anti-Cleveland demo- crats, like Hill and German, who are hanging back and preventing any alliance between the sound money men of both parties. He sees that these perform ances are dividing the democratic party into factions, and arousing the old popu- lar distrust which kept that party out of power so long. On the other hand, as a business man, he laments the delay in re- pealing the Sherman law, and worries over the prolongation of the present dan- gerous situation. This last is the pre- dominant feeling, and no good republican business man would contribute in the least degree to prolonging the existing condi- tions in order to put the democrats in 8 hole, but he would rather heartily con- demn such tactics, whether pursued by silverites, republican congressman, or re- publican organs.

The Atlanta (Ga.) Evening Journal, owned by Secretary of the Interior Smith calls upon congress "to pass the free coin age bill of both gold and silver, putting enough silver in the silver dollar to put 1t on parity with the gold dollar. We furth- CT believe" it says, "that Mir. Cleveland, the cabinet and the democratic leaders in the senate and house favor this plan. !" As the Journal has equivocally endorsed the presidents message and has not until now called for free coinage of both gold and silver, it's utterances are regarded as significant.
 Depositors in 8 savings bank are, in one sense, partners in business. As such they have mutual rights and responsibili- ties. One of these responsibilities is to maintain the credit of them all, which cannot be done by participating in need less scares. No depositor should, during a general business disturbance, withdraw his money unless he has immediate and unavoidable use for it. He owes to the officers and his fellow depositors his con- fidence.
