Nav YoRK, July 20.-The nervous
feeling in Wall street, which was so no.
ticeablo to-day, was said to be due
largely to the uncertainty regarding the
identity OF some corporations on behalf
Of which an application was made yes
tsrday in the United States circuit court
for the appointment OF receiver with.
out disclosing the name Of the appli.
cant,
By direction of Judge Brown the
papers, in accordance with the request
Of counsel on both sides, were kept
private so that the name Of the embnr-
rasssd company should not be divulged.
This action of Judge Brown was vigor-
ously condemned In financial circles
tbis morning. 1t resulted in the names
Of several prominent companies being
suggested as the one concerned and In
al least one case serious decline
in tho price OF tho stock Of one
al those companies resulted therefrom.
PROMPT dcnials were, OF course, made
by the officers OF tho companies against
whom suspicion was thus directed, but
in the absence oil precise information as
towhat company theapplicRtion referred
to. VOL informed bankers and others
finally learned that none Of the compan.
ies mentioned was tho one referred to
in the application. Several bank
presidents said that tho action OF Judge
Brown WIS ill-advised, because II might
be the mcans Of doing great injustice
tOinnocent parties.
"For instance" said one OF them,
this bank might In good faith to-day
discount note OF this mysterious cor
pora,,on, or accept some OF its checks
oDly to learn tomorrow, too late to pro-
teci ourselves, that the company was in
tho hands OF receiver"
The aub.treasurY was debtor at tho
clearing house this morning S45l ,000
(Which about 100000 was settled In
gOld The sub-treasury up to midday
had exchanged S20O,000 in currency,
mostly "Aves," items" and "twenties,"
for largo greenbacks aud gold certid-
Gates, and 1t was expected that little
moro would be exchanged later in the
day. 1t was supposed that the cur
rency thus obtained from the sub.treas-
ury was for shipment to St. Louis and
Kansas City, from which points de-
mands ior cash we're reported to-day by
two or three OF the larger banks.
Regarding the shipment Of cash to St.
Louis, the president Of one OF the largo
banks which sent out the money, said
hO did not regard the demand from that
centre at this time as at all serious.
The threatened closing Of the mills in
the east is regarded as a much more go.
riOus feature Of the present situation
than the closing Of the Denver banks.
The situation in Philadelphia was
said by New York bankers to-day to be
worse, Application had been received
from there Tor cash in order that this
weeks pay rolls might be supplied,
The banks which received the applica.
ton forwarded the necessary currency,
The clearing house committee met
this morning and issued $4,000 Of loan
certificates to small up town bank,
No certificates were retired, but II was
regarded as probable that Sl50,000
would 10 retired before the close Of
business to-day.

CHICAGO, July 20.-All doubts that
the big Corbott-Mitchell fight will be
fought under the auspices of the Co.
lumbian Athletic Club have been re-
moved by the receipt Of a cableeram
saying that Mitchell had signed the ar.
ticles to fight Corbett at the Columbian
club.
Never in the history of the prize ring
has there been go much interest taken
as has been in this international
contest. Never has there been purse
offered and possibly never will again.
The discussion relative to the merits
Of those two men seems pretty evenly
divided. Some on account Of patriotism,
wishing Corbett to win, others on &C.
count OF their unhidden feeling, wish
ing for Mitchell TO win, in order to be-
revenged for the defoat Of their pug
iIistio idol, John L. Sullivan.

1T WOULD NOT WORK.

The man who doubts that State banking
laws can be made that will make the currency
issued by state banks as good as that issued
by national banks casts a slur upon the in
telligence of himself and his tellow-citizens.-
Newman Banner.
The RECORD UNION does doubt it; nay, it
reasons logically, that State bank systems
cannot be so beneficial nor so safe as a uni
form system. Not to say that the national
banking system is or is not the best for
the people; we eliminate all consideration
of that question. But because there can
be forty-four systems, with forty-four
standards and forty-four classes of
doubts as to solvency, supervision and
management; forty-four political risks
and fortyfour against one measure OF
the value of currency, State systems in
a nation of States cannot give us stable
and freely beneficial issue of notes,
The notes of such banks never have
been, and in the very nature of things
never can be of uniform value as me-
diums for the exchange of products. The
6l6IlSl1l vi ulSSAtdllNy dS 10 POllllcal IN
tegrity in supervision will always be
sufficient to put and keep such issue
under cloud of doubt. The tact that
such notes OF issue would not have and
could not have a legal tender value in all
parts of the country alike would alone
put such currency under ban of dis
count. and discount is invariably at the
expense of the producer and the wage
Garner.
The fact that precisely as the number OF
banks of issue increased so would swell
the opportunities for the eounterfeiter,
would alone tend to discredit the issue.
Especially would this discredit intensity
as the distance of the receiver of the notes
from the place Of their issue increased.
1t was so in the fifties, and it would be so
in the nineties were we to set up the ideal
system the Banner dimly sees as a possi-
bility.

tions.
We think that if our contemporary,
the Democrat, will consider the matter
thoughttully it will find work enough
for the convention to do for fully three
days, after it shall have appointed com
mittees to consider the general branches
into which the whole road agitation
question should be specifically divided
indeed, we apprehend that the convention
will find it necessary after laying out its
plans and committing branches of work
to committees to adjourn for three
months to enable the committees to
gather the information necessary to put
the body into proper condition to sug-
gest wise policy to the people of Cali

THE DAY.

Memorial Day will be observed in Sac
ramento in the usual manner. That it
will not present novel features should
not withdraw from its observance any
patriotic citizen. For this observance is
not a matter of entertainment-in that
the day differs widely from that joyous
anniversary in July that so engages the
hearts of all lovers of free government.
To the credit of Sacramento. ever since
the establishment of Memorial Day it has
been observed here with great unanim-
ity, and in a manner that has always
done honor to the occasion and the city
as the Capital of the State. There will be
no variation from that line to-day. The
people will fling the flag to the breeze,
largely forsake their usual vocations and
join with the little remnant of ex-soldiers
and sailors of the saddest of wars to tes-
tify by floral decoration of the graves of
veterans that it is not true that republics
are ungrateful.
ear by year the band of the living
participants in the rebellion who bore
Union arms grows smaller. 1t will be
less this year than it was last, and last
year the gaps in the ranks were many
Close them up as they will, the years are
to be very few now when only mourners,
who were not actors in the most dramatic
of wars, will march from street to grave
TO place laurel and flower upon the
tombs. Only little while and the vet
Grams who to-day march steadily, though
slower than of old, to do honor to COM
rades gone before. will go in carriages to
this duty; and then little farther along
and their places will be vacant.
So Memorial Day grows more pro-
foundly sad as the years roll on. The re-
Election that presently it will have for the
generation no living examples of the
men who rallied round the flag in the
sixties, Will not down, and hence we can
not resist the deepening solemnity that
invests the day. 1t ought to prompt us
to greater tenderness, to deeper and more
sincere rega d for the occasion and the
men who fill the chief places, living and
dead, in its funereal ceremonial

WOMEN WRONG FOR ONCE,

The Berlin Die FluDune calls attention
to the remarkable fact that while women
are abreast with all other reforms, and
leaders in many, with singular incon-
sistency they are fighting cremation.
Die FtdnlDe says on this subject
The cholera epidemic was. and is. occasion
Tor renewed efforts. all tending to the 1oc11iza
tlon OF the disease; but all such measures are
lhauetI utte. Ine cOncensuS of medical opinion
calls Tor the burning of the diseased BODY "a
the oDly means Of eradicating the fnfecfion
Inc eHorts OF the supporters Of cremation are
DaSed on the recognition of this principle; but
these efforts are tuWarted not so much bv re-
llglon, although this is still hostile TO a GER
tam extent, as by the repugnance OF the great
majority OF Womankind who do not find ere
nation as contormable to their ideals as the
prevailing fashion of burial. We are here
confronted by sentiment based on abso-
Iuleiy lale ideas, whether the matter be re-
Ssrded from the point of view of religion. or
OF regard ior the dead. This sentiment has
Deeh already, and frequently, comUated in
lneSe columns, and that, too bV women who
hau themselves experienced the same repug-
nance, but who had overcome Ii by an i'm
paftlaI weighing of the arguments and real
iAation 10 the dangers of the living, of which
oufial IS so prolific cause, and of which
we have so many instructive examples.
Our German contemporary adds the
suggestion that the friends of cremation
at once proceed to correct the ideas of
women on this subject. When the sex
shall be brought, by an intelligent review
OF the subject, to lend the reform their
earnest support, the opposition of the
church, which is as baseless and mis-
taken one as well could be, will melt
away as the snow before the sun.
We apprehend that outside of a small
circle of highly intelligent women who
have read on the question largely, the
masses of womankind have an idea that
cremation means the throwing of the
human body upon funeral pyre, and
the roasting of it in flames with all con-
sequent revolving detail. 1t is a duty.
therefore, to correct this sad idea. and to
show our wives, sisters and mothers that
the most revolving of all things in con-
nection with the dead is the putting of
the bodies away in the earth to slowly
corrupt and be food for worms, and
menace to the living by poisoning the
soil above the moldering body; that. on
the contrary, cremation disposes of the
body without any flame touching it, and
gives us the gray ashes Of our loved ones
to be inurned and preserved, or to be
buried and become food for lovely flowers
and plants, that shall speak to us in their
beauty and new life of those who have
gone before and await us in the great un-
known.

Painful Accident to Ralph "A. Mile
Calf.

Painful Accident TO Ralph "A. Miles OF
Calf.
a terrible accident happened to Ralph
A. Miles at Gait on sunday evening, re-
sulting in the loss Of one of his feet and a
portion of the leg.
1t appears that he was in the act of
climbing between two cars of freight
train that was standing on the railroad
track, when the train started up. His
right foot was caught between the car
bumpers and mashed almost to pulp.
Some men who were standing near
ran to his relief and saved his life by lift
Ing him from his perilous position.
Dr. q. a. VI hite was summoned. and at
once saw that amputation was necessary.
len Miles was informed that the foot
could not be saved he told the doctor to
go ahead and saw her off," which was
done. At last accounts the injured man
was resting easily, and will, no doubt, re-
cover from the shock
Mr.. Miles is an Old and well-known
resident of that part OF the country. and
his many friends will regret to learn of
his misfortune.
