ADeserved Compliment

The compliment that Senator Gordon
paid the banks of Savannah in the Sen
ate yesterday is well deserved. He de-
claired that Savannah never had a de-
faulting bank since the days of Ogle-
thorpe. Can as much be said of the
banks of any other city of the size of Sa-
vannah}
The banks of Savannah are solid insti-
buttons because they are managed care
fully and conservatively. They do a
legitimate banking business and are
of their money to men who
are engaged in speculative ventures.
They do their utmost to accommodate
tn cir patrons who are engaged in business
aud industrial enterprises, but even with
them they do not go beyond the bounds
of prudence in making loans.
1t is worthy of notice that during the
scare a few weeks ago confidence in Sa-
vaunah banks was not noticeably shaken
Some depositors may have withdrawn
money, but the most of them belong to u
class that would withdraw money from
the Bank of England on a slight provoca-
ton if they had any deposited in that in
stitution
Whatever money there is boarded in
savannah should be taken from its hid
ing places and deposited in the banks 1t
is needed just now to move the cotton
! crop and there is no doubt that the banks
are well able to take care of it and return
/ it when needed

The delegates to the Virginia Farmers
alliance have before them an object les
son of how the farmers are affected by
the senseless rantings of some of the
demagogues who are after their votes.
The state alliance some time ago deposited
in a Richmond bank, to the credit of the
secretary of the alliance, fund with
which to pay the expenses of the dele
gates to the annual session. But, in
view of the financial stringency, which
has been helped on by populist agitation,
the bank has notified the secretary of the
alliance that it will pay out only $50 in
currency on the deposit. The delegates
will, therefore, be obliged to accept GER
fed checks for their expenses, and
hustle to get them cashed wherever
they can.

More Gold and Bank Notes.

The efforts that are now being made to
increase the volume of the currency must
have the effect very soon of making
money so plentiful that it can be obtained
in any reasonable amount without paying
premium for it. The gold that has been
received within the last week or two
from Europe, together with that which
has been ordered from the same source,
amounts to more than $50 900 600. Du-
ring the month of July the treasury de-
partment delivered to the national banks
in lieu of bonds deposited $500, 900, and
thus far this month very nearly as much
more has been issued. The amount of ma
tional bank currency ordered from the
bureau of printing and engraving for the
month of August is more than 500, 900, 600
All of this amount will not. of course, be de-
livered, because it cannot be printed, but
large part of it will. AS already stated
5000, 900 of it has been delivered and
$4,000 more will have been turned
over to the banks by the end of the
month. The bureau of printing and en-
craving is running on extra time and
will continue to do so until the currency
am inc disappears, if United States bonds
can be obtained at such prices as will ad-
nit of a small profit on currency.
1t is probable that the bill permitting
national banks to issue currency up to the
par value of their deposited bonds, intro
duced into the Senate Monday by the fl
nance committee of that body, viii be-
leone a law without much opposition.
it should the volume of the currency
would be increased by that means to the
extent of many millions of dollars. Alto
gether the outlook is that the currency
broker wi II not be able to sell currency
much longer at premium. When money
no longer commands premium much of
that which is now tied up in stockings
and locked up in strong boxes will find its
way into circulation again.
The money market is certainly easier
than it was a week ago, and it looks now
as if it would be easier q week hence
than it is now The financial outlook
therefore is decidedly better.

A story illustrating old Commodore
Vanderbilts way of preventing inter
ference in good work is told by friend of
DIR. Deems. When the commodore had
provided church for his favorite
preacher they had a consultation as to
how it would be governed DR.. Deems
was in favor of putting it in charge of a
body of trustees, composed of prominent
gentlemen selected from the principal
churches in the city-the Church of the
Strangers is non-sectarian, it will be re-
membered. But the commodore shook his
head. THAT won't do he said You
hammer away at some of those fellows
about their sins and they will turn
around and bedevil you 50 that you will
have to quit the church l am going to
give it to you personally" And he did
This instance of pastor owning his
church is unique in church history in this

there are hundreds of unemployed men in

handle their crops; there is no labor to be

uted.

The annual session of the Virginia
Farmers alliance which Assem- led at
Richmond yesterday, was in striking
contrast with former annual sessions of
the body. Some seventy-flve or eighty
delegates represented the whole state
yesterday. A year ago there were nearly
twice that many. Next year there may,
or may not, be the half of seventy-fve.
In Virginia the injection of politics into
the alliance marked the turning point of
its existence. 1t is now on the down
grade. Still, the chief matter to come be-

Virginia are positively parching. The

, Some time ago the MORNING News gave
some account Of the efforts of an armless
man to find condemned criminal who
would consent TO sell his arms to be
grated upon the armless mans stumps.
Two accommodating criminals have been
found in Sing Sing prison, each of whom
has consented to furnish an arm for the
experiment. The convicts are up for life.
and it rests with Gov Flower to saw
whether they may sell their arms or not.
1t is understood that, in the interest of
science, the governor will consent. so it is
probable that the experiment of making
one whole man out Of portions of three
men will be attempted by the doctors at
an early date. The armless man is will
ing and anxious TO risk a murderer's arm
on his right side, and thiefs arm on his
left.

now the cry is for more freedom Of thought,
more of liberty to the individual But none the
less DR.. Briggs values his title to membership
In the church. He is ready to contest every
point with his opponents.
HIS ADVISERS.
At his right and just below him within the
railing sit Prof. Francis s. Brown, his col
league on the faculty of Union; Mr.. S. NJ.
Cutcheon, DR.. Frazier Of Newark, who act al
his legal advisers, and a number Of other
friends and sympathizers. On the oppo-
site side OF the aisle and crowded to-
setber in the narrow space at the foot OF the
platform sit the members of the prosecuting
committee Of the New York presbytery: DR.. G..
W. F. Birch Col. John J. McCook. the great
New York lawyer; DIR. Sample, DIR. Lampe and
Mr.. Stevenson. They are waiting their turn.
DR.. Briggs reads his speech altogether. In
his two hands he has mass of typewritten
sheets, and he holds these close up to
his face SO that he is prevented from
making any attempt at gestures. He
reads rapidly as though he feared the five
hours allotted to him would not be sufficient
for his needs. He is a slender man, slightly
round shouldered and with the pale face OF the
student. Curiously enough, he always speaks
OF himself in the third person. 1t is III you

not an easy speaker to follow. His
voice is not grateful to the ear
nor is it capable of sustained ef-
fort. At times it breaks badly as q
result of fatigue. At times it becomes almost
a falsetto. He stops for a few moments rest
and takes a sip Of aerated water that
he draws from a syphon on table
at his side. The audience takes advan-
tage of the opportunity to relax a moment
from the strained and tiresome position of
listening. Then the professor of great Pres
byterian theological seminary begins again and
goes ahead with his long argument to show why
the general assembly should not entertain the
appeal and proceed with the trial.
He is not arguing his own Presbyterianism,
nor does he touch upon the merits Of the case.
That will all come later and in good time.
Not a man leaves the crowded assembly.
Deeper and deeper the teacher Of biblical
theology deives into the intricacies and tech
nicalities of ecclesiastical law Many OF his
hearers are not able to follow him, and
possibly there are some among the men in
whose hands his case must lie who at times lose
the thread of his argument. Yet they listen
with rapt attention to every word he utters and
there is scarcely a sound in the church to in
terrupt the speaker, save that made
by the slow moving Of fans to and fro.

made by Mr.. burst and other American
inventors against Capt S. L. Blunt,

The substance of these charges is that Capt.
Blunt was biased in favor Ut the kraig-1or-

lengthy document covering in detail with evil
