A BANK is NOT A SAFE DEPOSITORY.

It is curious how some people persist
in the idea that bank and safe deposit
torv are similar institutions. Possibly
nothing is more erroneous. The banks
Of n CITY with their clearing house system
are the very vortex of credit, A safe
depository is hiding hole. Money is
placed in the one that man may have
an easy medium of settling his debts
The bank charges him nothing, therefore
il must make its compensation out of the
safe investment Of its trust. 1t Ike the

LAST SATURDAYS NEW MEXICAN.

Last Saturday issue of this journal was
daisy; real daisy! There is not another
paper in this territory that could have
gotten out an edition like the one issued
from this Office Saturday. It was all done
in two days, the mechanical works was.
The literary work, however, took two
weeks of actual inspection, gathering of
facts and material and writing. That's
the kind of paper the New MEXICAN is.

SENATOR DAVID B. HILL and his col
league Senator Murphy have openly com
mitted themselves to free silver. Senator
Hill recently denounced the demonetiza
ton act as the crime of centuries. In
addition to this it is announced that OF
the thirty-six New York congressman
only two--Cochran and Fitch--can be re.
lied on to vote for the repeal of the Sher.
man act. President Cleveland will pos
siblY soon learn that the American peo-
pie will not submit to dictator, even
one who sweetens his rule with "pie."

The Virginia Republicans announce
that they will not nominate ticket for
the state campaign. The populists have
therefore put full ticket in the field.
The fight will be between the Cleveland
Democracy and this new party, and the
only question at issue will be the free and
unlimited coinage of silver. The result
will be significant of the feeling of the

l car builder, l doctor, 2 bankers, l
planter and 6 quarrymen. The rest put
themselves down as "retired." Twenty
of the senators served in the confederate
army during the war and sixteen in the
union army. The man with the longest
time to serve is Edward G. Walthall, OF
Grenada. Miss, who has been reelected
by the legislature of his state for the
term ending in 1901. The most cultured
senator is Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, who is an author, artist, lin
guish, scholar and society man. The
handsomest is Charles H. Gibson, OF
Maryland. The most senatorial is Alfred
II. Colquitt of Georgia, whose father and
grandfather sat in the senate before him.
The haughtiest is j. Donald Cameron, of
Pennsylvania, whose unique distinction
it is never to say word in the senate
unless he moves to adjourn. The rich
est, now that Stanford is dead, would
seem to be John P. Jones, of Nevada, who
bestows gold dollars on the beggars of
Washington. The one most celebrated
outside of his own country is John Sher-
man. The most abused is Matthew
Stanley Quay, of Pennsylvania. The
most punctilious is Calvin s. Brice, of
Ohio, who changes his shirt three times
day. The most temperate is David b.
| HILL of New York, who neither drinks,
smokes, swears, CANDLES nor eats dain-
ties. The strongest is William B. Allison,
of Iowa, who could almost fell an OK
with his fist.
NEW MEN IN THE HOUSE.
In the house are 204 members who
served in the last congress, besides six
teen others not in the last congress, but
members of congresses prior to it. The
father of the house is Charles O'Neill, of
Philadelphia, Pa, who, if he outlives his
present term, will have broken the record
by having served thirty consecutive years
in the lower branch of congress- The
house will contain FOG lawyers, AZ farmers
and agriculturists, IA journalists, IA man
ufacturers, ID merchants, s bankers, 3
teachers, l publisher, 2 doctors, 2 clergy
men, 2 college professors, printers, 6
gentlemen of leisure, 2 society men and
30 odd, whose pursuits are too indefinitely
reported for classification. OF the lot 221
are certain to go into the Democratic
caucus, 1876 will be solidly Republican and
8 call themselves Populists. That leaves
2 undetermined. The most eloquent of
all is W. Bourke Cochran, of New York
The one with the most solid constituency
is Thomas j. Geary, of Santa Rosa, Cal,
whose motto is "The Chinese Must Co."
The most unpopular outside of his own
district is William s. Holman, of Aurora,
Ind, who, should O'Neill die, would be-
come father of the house. He is serving
his fifteenth term. The thinnest is
member from Medicine Lodge, Kas., who
wears no socks, if current report be trust
worthy. The most literary is Thomas
Dunn English, of Newark, N. j., once the
boon companion of Edgar Allen Poe and
who has written verses which the Prince
of Wales greatly admires. The most in
teresting is Daniel Edgar Sickles, of New
York, who has been on trial for his life,
charged with murder; who lost a leg at

Mysterious Disappearance of Young
Couple.
a Young lady employed in a con-
fectionery establishment in this city
on Saturday evening resigned her
position. expressing the intention of
visiting the Worlds fair. While
employed there the young lady be-
came enamoured of the cook of the
establishment, and it seems the af-
lection was reciprocated. Her resig-
nation was wholly unexpected by her
employers, but they thought nothing
OF it. On Monday morning, however.
when the cook failed to put in an APP
pearance, their curiosity was aroused
and upon inquiry it was learned
that he had also left town.
Neither of the young people have
been heard from as vet, and their
whereabouts is a mystery. The
young man is credited with making
inquiries regarding st. Louis trains,
50 that whether they are in St Louis
or Chicago, is not known.

1t may be that the government
will save the democratic party the
painful necessity of depriving Editor
johnson, of the Union. of the federal
Job which requires SO much onerous
exertion on his part, and which was
the gift of Congressman Gest to him
for party service. Representative
Curtis. of Kansas, has introduced a
bill in the house to abolish n couple
of dozen of custom houses through
out the United States. 1t authorizes
the secretary of the treasury to add
certain customs districts, which cost
the government more than thew col
lect, to the adjoining districts, and
the saving that it viii make in the
salaries of collectors of customs and
surveyors of the ports, clerks. APP
praisers. etc. is estimated at 800
600 per annum. Says dispatch:
Among the places named where
collections are to cease, under Mr..
Curtis bill, is Burlington. Iowa. at
which point the collector last wear
took in only So in revenue and paid

Another point is Galena. H.. where
the receipts were nothing and theex-
penses $3.50.
At Rock Island
The expenses of the Rock Island
Office which is also TO be discontin-
ued, were $3.50. and the customs re-
ceipts were little more than So.
At Grant Haven, Mich. the expenses
were little more than $4,000 and

to discontinue this office as well as

cost $500 to collect only $40 in reve-

The Chemical National Bank VIII Pay
Dollar for Dollar.
CHICAGO, May 9.--As soen as the news
of trouble in the affairs OF the Chemical
National bank became known at the
worlds fair grounds, this morning, anx-
ious crowds gathered around the branch
of the bank, which is the official bank
of the worlds fair, and located in the
administration building. The bank
doors, however, were tightly closed, and
nobody could learn anything as to the
prospects of getting money, though
simultaneously with the notice OF the
difficulty in which the bank was placed,
it was said the depoeitors in the
branch had been fully served.
TT was a quiet crowd, most of
the depositors being Americans, but
some foreign depositors animadyerted
somewhat severely on the exposition
management for giving official sanction to
the bank which they took for guarantee.
The cashier of the branch had gene to
the main bank to consult with the af-
ficisIs. and till he returned no one at the
branch could get any information. 1t
appears that some foreigners deposited
| in the main bank down town, which
complicates matters.
| As anticipated, the main bank also
closed doors. The capital of the bank is
| s., 900 600. 1t has deposits something
| over 5000 900. The bank is not mem
| ber of the clearing house. The failure
! had no effect in financial circles. Poor
| Judgment in making loans and the
monetary stringency are the cause of the
failure.
| Bank Examiner Sturges said it is not
bad failure, but from what he knows
80 far thinks it is a complete one, to the
point that resumption OF business is not
| at all likely. He gave assurance that
! the depositors would not lose anything.
President Curry said The depositors
would receive 100 cents on the dollar,
and within four or FIVE days could be
paid at least one-thifd Of their claims
Heavy runs of Saturday and Monday
were the cause OF suspension; had they
had two days more they would have

opinion among financial men is that the

PAso RoBLEs, May ga short time
ago Frank Missnheimer, marshal of this
city, was arrested. charged with the
embezzlement of city money collected
as taxes. The preliminary trial came
up today when decided sensation was
sprung upon the people by the prosecu-
tion exhibiting tax books which were
supposed to be lost. Misenheimer had
claimed all along that the books had been
stolen. The books were FIRST found to be
missing about a year ago. The city
trustees employed experts to examine
the city books, but without the books
for 1891, which were the ones lost,
nothing of damaging nature to Misen-
heimer was found. The trustees also
employed City Attorney Rhodes to find
the missing tax books. Rhodes claims
that he finally found the books, with
the aid of man who had been a
friend of Misenheimer, but had
qusrreled with him. Rhodes loaded
his shotgun and accompanied the man
to where the books were buried and dug
them up. They are yellow from being
under ground so long, but the prosecu-
tion have strong case since their dis
covery. It has not been brought out
how much money is missing. Two hun
