A newspaper man is in some in
stances like other people. He res
poets his friends, appreciates kind
ness and is always ready to return
a favor. In another respect be re-
sembles his fello " men. He will
not continue to pat man on the
back and tell what prominent citi
zen he is, how mucn he has done,
ard give him personal puffs when
that man will not aid in supporting
the paper. In other words he stands
by the men VINO stands by him.
That's about the way OF the world,
and newspaper man can't be ex-
pected to be 50 much different from
other people.

Nearly every national bank that
suspended during the summer on
account of runs being made on them
which forced them to close their
doors, has re-opened and resumed
business. A few banks that were
badly and dishonesty managed are
in receivers hands, but every bank
that was forced to close by deposi>
tors Withdrawing, and which was
managed on good business princi>
pies, has resumed business or is
preparing to 90 so. This Of itself
shows that the situation is rapidly

A Ledger special from Washing
ton says that the weighing OF gold
bullion in one of the vaults Of the
Philadelphia mint has led to the
discovery that there is a shortage of
about6ve thousand ounces, valued
at S105, 900. The vault was sealed
in 1887 and when Colonel Bosby>
shell assumed charge of the mint,
the bullion in the reserve vault was
not weighed. Colonel Bosbyshell
receipting for the contents on faith.
Upon proffering the request for the
presence of a treasury official when
the vault should be opened Director
Preston reminded Col. Bosbyshell
as he had receipted for the full
amount stated on the schedule he
was responsible for it. Henry S.
Cochran, who had charge of the
vault had been employed in the
mint forty-three years. The seals
clearly show that the doors have not
been opened and if there las been
any abstraction a telonious entrance
must have been made through one
Of the walls which are said to be
only tour inches thick. 1t has since
been discovered that an aged and
trusted employe, IL. G. Cochren,
distracted the gold bars with rake.
He has returned 100000 and will
doubtless give up the balance.

The United States needs more
money, whether it be gold, silver or
currency. 1t is the most populous
civilized nation on the face of the
globe, is the most active IN trade
and is growing more rapidly in
population than any other. While
this is true OF its population and
commerce the demand for money
which these growing conditions re-
quire is not supplied in sufficient
volume, AS the population and
business of the country increases
the volume of currency should keep
pace with it.

Financially, there will be no welding
together.
That this will not be very satisfac-
tory to the westerners no one doubts.
1t should be pointed out that labor
unions in such states as Kansas.
California, Oregon and the Dakotas
are largely political Throughout the
east they are seldom more than bene-
fetal orders. And the same unrest
which has led the politics of the west
to assert its whimsical independence,
seems to be prompting labor leaders
and followers to undertake the gigan-
tic movement which Terence V.
Powderly indorses in theory and de-
clares to be manifest destiny in prac-
tice.
Such a consolidation would assured
~ have an imposing result. 1t would
mean membership of nine hundred
two millions yearly. The argument
that it is too gigantic for ready action
is met by the proposition to maintain
the order in divisions-one to be known
as Knights of Labor, another as the
Federal ton, and so on. 1t seems
odd that our country, SO advanced in
matters of this sort, has yet to perfect
such a scheme. J. Kerr Hardie, the
''laborite parliament man." in declin-
ing the invitation to visit the United
States last spring, mentioned this fact
in his oft-quoted letter. There is such
an amalgamation in Switzerland, as
Mr.. Powderly has pointed out, and
there exists the informal federation of

ptshed so much at the last election

Joiners, think that American apathy
NAV be due to the lack heretofore of
pressing need for such consolidation.
Moreover, the various trades could not
lose their separate organization. Add
ed to this is the difference between a
fighting" order and one which never
has occasion to battle with cap
ital. The Wire Drawers and Die Max
ers' union. for example, ably represent
ed in the federation by j. c. Robinson,
does not get into exciting contests like
that of the Iron and Steel Workers
union or Amalgamated association at
Homestead. The Laster's Protective
union never has the militia after it
like the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen recently at Buffalo. Only the
tendency to federation, more pro-
nounced than ever these last FIVE
years. has brought about the present
movement for a sort of Hanseatic
league of labor unions TO accomplish
for worlzingmen a material revolution
akin to that spiritual one wrought in
medieval Germany by the holy vehm-
