Hundreds of kind words, both oral

The Recent Bank Failures.

National Waterman
The recent bank failures both in
this country and in Europe are of
sufficient Importance to direct atten,
ton with renewed interest to the
defects Of the system and the none
tary conditions which bring about
such disasters.
When those who are trained to
the business of banking are driven
to the wall it is time for those less
learned to consider the situation
carefully. Within the last 80 days
nearly 300 banks and their branches
have failed in Australia, the result
being an almost complete elimination
Of values in that country.
There is hardly nation in Europe
that has not reported failures in

Large Rebates Allowed.

OF late there has been consider
able talk of alleged shortages in the
collection of corporation taxes. This
year State Comptroller Campbell of
New York following an interpreted
ton of the law made by Alfred G.
Chaplin, when the latter was
State Comptroller, returned $780,
600 in rebates to corporations.
MIR. Campbell recently took occa-
sion to crIticise ex-Comptroller Chap
ms rulings ip' this matter.
In an interview yesterday Mr..
Chapln said:
In my report in 1888 I stated that
decision by the Supreme Court Of the
United States would reduce IN the
future the tax on gross earnings by
transportation companies, and that
some cases made it clearly illegal for
the State to tax a corporation for
gross earnings derived from inter-
state commerce. l also said that, as
these taxes were illegally and uncon-
stltutionally imposed, a portion of the
sums so illegally demanded and paid
to the State had been returned and
credited, and the remainder would
be, from time to time, as the condi-
ton of the Treasury would warrant.
These rebates were allowed.
When Mr.. Campbell states that he
will not allow any rebates, it makes
the matter laughable. He will allow
whatever the law says should be
properly allowed, land it will be noticed
that he says during his admins
tration decision was made appar-
emily holding different rule from
that under which | acted. This de-
cision by the Supreme Court is like
all others. Different views are filed
by lawyers as % just how far the
State can tax interstate commerce.
and they are widely divergent. Mr..
Campbell will have to be guided by
the decisions Of the courts in these
matters, and | know of no decision
that in my opinion changes that un-
der which | f~2ted.

A War Story.

"The most successful, and at the
same time most unique civil service
examination | know occurred during
the war;" said T. G. DeLand, Of the
examining board at the Treasury.
''The Confederaoy was much in need
of a railway locomotive in order to
operate their supply system. 1t was
in 1864, and they had not the means
to buy an engine, SO the lnvariable
alternative arose-steal one. 4 band
of one hundred men was selected
from Lees army and placed under
the command of big six-foot. four

furnished a number. In the Unlted
States the aggregate is startling,
more than 100 national and private
banks having closed their doors.
Such financial disasters occurring IN
every civilized nation IN times OF
profound peace force the conviction
that there is some underlying cause,
some controlling factor that conspires
to bring about this unfortunate con-
dition.
These failures can not all be attri-
buted to dishonesty, or ignorance,
hence something beyond this must be
responsible. We believe that more
business and less money is really the
great factor in all this financial
calamity.
The business transactions of the
world have multiplied with such
rapidity as to make cash transactions

was tnrned over to officer Thatcher,
and that gentleman picked the boys
up at the depot within few minutes.
The boys stated to the officer that
they were going to Arizona. They
are young fellows and scarcely in

son of the gentlemen who sent the
telegram and the Smith boy is the
son of a farmer residing in the edge

Decision Affirmed.

In August 1890, the 11-year-old
son of George Brill, the North Ohio
street grocer, met with an accident on
the NJ, K. Il 7. Railroad that result
ed in the loss of the left arm. The
boy mounted the train at Broadway
crossing and attempted to steal ride.
A one-armed Waterman jerked the
boy off the moving train and the load
being too much for one arm, the boy
was dropped 90 as to get the left arm
upon the rail and it was cut off just
above the elbow. Mr.. Brill as his
sons next friend brought suit against
the Railroad Company. The case was
heard in the Pettis county circuit
court in May, 1891. A verdict Of
$4,000 was given the boy. The Rail
road Company appealed the case, and
the supreme court the other day
handed down a decision affirming the
verdict of the lower court.

An Appeal for Mercy.

A delegation from Rails county,
Mo-, about thirty in number, are in
Jefferson City to wait ON Gov. Stone.
The object Of the delegations visit to
Jefferson City is to induce the gov.
ernor to pardon w. H. johnson from
the penitentiary. johnson was in.
dicted by the Rails county grand jury
in 1887 for seduction. A change Of
venue was had and the case transferred
to Warren county, where the defend.
ant was found guilty and sentenced
to two years in the penitentiary.
The case was appealed to the SUI
preme court, where the decision of the
lower court was affirmed, and two
weeks ago johnson was taken to the
penitentiary to serve his sentence. At
the time Mr.. johnson was indicted,
he was a wealthy and influential
farmer Of Rails county with large
and interesting family. He has spent
a fortune fighting the case and has
left his family in stringent circum-
stances.
The delegation think that johnson
has already been prosecuted and per-
secuted to the extent of his crime
without having to serve two years in
the penitentiary.

was quite severely poisoned ON Tues
day OF last week, under most peculiar
circumstances. Taking a small green
raveling from her dress she unthought-

rinsed her mouth out with water,
after which she ate spar,ngly of some

she is getting along nicely now, ap-

Whitworth.Dunfee.

The Whitworth-Dunfee embroglio
was given an airing in Judge Fishers
court this morning. The parties in
this suit live in the country near
Green Ridge. Aaron Dunfee and his
wife after being companions for twenty
years disagreed. Mrs. Dunfee sought
refuge at the home of Charles Whit
worth and his mother. Dunfee
went to Whitworth's to have
an interview with his deserving wife.
In an alteration WhitwOrth drew a
shot gun and fOurished it in men,
acing manner. For this Dunfee had
Whitworth arrested and Judge Fisher
fined Whitworth S. and costs. An
appeal was taken by Whitworth.
Judge Fisher incidentally ventilated
his opinion of the case. 1t was seen
that Whitworth and Mrs. Dunfee are
fast friends and their evidence on the
stand to-day was of a "me-too" char
acter. Mrs. Dunfee has fled suit
for divorce in the circuit court against
her husband, and what makes the
matter more exasperating to Mr.. Dun
fee Is that his property, for commercial
reasons, is in his wife's name and he
thinks that WhitwOrth would like to
combine the WhitwOrth and Dunfee
domains. There will be more of the
case laid upon the altar of public Gu
riosity ere long.
