HERE was a run on the bank at
Waterton, N. Y, Of which Govern
or Flower is the principal owner.
Flower is very rich and the bank
was positively solvent, but deposi-
tors somehow had lost confidence
and wanted their money. There
upon the governor dished out some
solid chunks of truth along with
the cash. He told his neighbors
that it was just such action as their
own in demanding money they did
not need that was forcing banks to
foreclose on mortgages, thereby
stopping industries and hunting
trade and labor generally. The
public should recognize the force
of these utterances. At the same
time bankers should remember that
while they would have the faith of
the people the confidence should be
reciprocal.

LIEUTENANT PEARY is on his way
toward the north pole by way Of
Bafin's Bay and north of Green
land; Dr.. Nansen, Of Norway, will
start from the islands off the north
coast of Siberia and endeavor to
float across to the pole. He expects
to come through on this side and
has made no arrangements for a
return the other way. A business
man named Jackson, Of England,
will approach the pole by way Of
Franz Joseph's land.

IT Is disclosed that the receivers

IT IS disclosed that the receivers
of the Reading Railroad company
already as richly deserve the at
tention Of the courts as the COM
pany itself did when their appoint
ment become necessary. The in
creases Of price which have recently
been ordered by the agents Of the
several coal roads have raised the
price of anthracite almost to the
figures which had been reached
just before the collapse Of the
Reading company. 1t is under
stood that the receivers were repre-
sentedi in the combination meetings
at which these advances were or
dered. Thus they became members
Of an unlawful combination engag-
ed In %suppressing competition in
the coal trade and making high and
arbitrary prices for a necessary of
life. The New York Times calls
attention to the pertinent fact that
it was the Pennsylvania court, of
which one of these receivers was
chief Judge before he took the place
he now holds, that not only denoun-
ced such a combination illegal, but
also declared that under the laws
of the state of New York it is a
criminal %offense. It is illegal at
common law and a violation of the
federal statutes as well.

NEBRAsKA's banking law seems
to have stood the test dnring the
strain of the past too months. The
failure of the investment company
in this city might have effected six
or eight smaller banks connected
with it, but the state banking laws
which require every bank to stand
upon its own basis, proved effective.
None Of the connected banks have
suffered in the least.-Bee.

We Mean Business.

The public is quick to appreciate an
article Of merit, and when the publish
ers of The State journal began offering
their Semi Weekly at only $l.00 per
year, tae anne price that others ask for
tl.eir weeklies which only give half as
many papers, the subscription list
doubled in a few months, and has since
been growing with wonderful rapidity
leaving the old-fashioned weeklies away
behind. People don't see any use in
waiting "a whole week for the news when
they can get it fresh twice a week for
the same money. Readers of The Semi
Weekly Journal get 104 papers a year
for only $l.00, which is less than one
cent per copy, and they find the paper
almost as good as a daily. IF you have
not yet tried this great paper, do so at
nce 1t gives you the market twice
each week, which alone is worth The
price. Some of u special offers are:
The Journal and either The STANDARD
History of the United States, SANKEY'S
Adventures in Africa, Life of Sturgeon
or Life of Harrison, handsomely bound
books, postage all paid, for$l.40. The
Journal and Weekly New York Tribune
both one year, $l.25. For $500 we
will send The journal two years and one
of the above books free; for two new
subscribers (your one may be n of
them) we will send you any one of the
above named books free: for $I.65 we
will send The journal and Tribune, and
any one Of the books. We mean busi-
ness and our offers are down to hard
time prices. Send for a free sample at
once. Address,

The director of the mint has
published statistics showing ''the
amount Of money in the world"
From his table it is learned that
France stands at the head, holding
81, 00,000,0 600 in coin, besides
$81, 000,0 900 in uncovered notes,
making $40.56 per capita. Leav-
ing out such small countries as
Holland, Belgium, Cuba, etc., the
United States comes next of the
great nations with $25.15 per head
as against $18.42 which sufficient
ly supplies the wants of Great
Britain. 1t is indeed strange that
the enormous commerce of Great
Britain can be sufficiently accom-
modated with such a moderate sum
which differs by a few cents from
the $17.72 which is the quota of
Spain. Confidence is a plant of
slow growth and does not thrive in
any soil where revolutionary pro-
jects in financial Legislation are
being Matched. On the other hand
with cheerful confidence and a high
standard Of commercial morality
it is amazing haw small a quantity
Of metal either white or yellow, is
required for all the mercantile
transaction of a great nation, as we
may see by the English returns
Just noted where coin is but a mere
fraction Of the total of things doing
the work Of currency. Checks are
much more in use here than in
England, and it would thus seem
that our finrncial ills are caused by
something besides a lack Of sufi-
Gent money'per capita" Lincoln
Journal.

AS the full returns come in it is
seen that the horrors Of the Iowa
tornado we're not overdrawn in the
first dispatches. The work Of the
storm was done mostly in the coun-
try districts, but the damage was
very great and the list Of the dead
and injured is distressingly large.
It is counted a curious circumstan-
ce that Cherokee county, which lay
in the path Of this storm, has been
visited by floods and tornadoes and
other disasters every summer for g
number of years.

IT appears that the severe strain
and worry to which the President
has been subjected since his inau-
guration has told upon his health.
Heis suffering fromla painful attack
of rheumatism which has doubtless
been su%perinduced by overworka and
nervous tension. It is to be hoped
that the politicians and Office seek
ers will now manifest enough con-
sideration for his comfort TO give
him the benefit Of a quiet rest at
Gray Gables.

The man who draws money from
circulation and puts it in a stocking for
a safe deposit vault in these days is
little short of a public enemy. The best
thing to do with cash at present is to
pay your debts with it. If you have no
debts place it in a bank and let it earn
interest for you and at the same time
assist in relieving the pressure of gen.
eral contraction.

Mr.. Thomas Bate, editor of the
Graphic, Texarkana, Arkansas, has
found what he believes to be the best
remedy In existence for the Rux. His
experience is well worth remembering.
He says: "Last summer [ had a very

every known remedy, o M giving re-
lief. Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended
to me. I purchased a bottle and re-
ceived almost immediate relief. | con-

mending this remedy to any person SUI

The daily cost Of operating the
Worlds Columbian Exposition is
$4,000. This is a snug sum, but
it is doubtful whether it could be
done for less. 1t is quite obvious
to every person who has seen it
that the big show is worth all that
it has cost.

When a preacher becomes a politician
it gives the devil a chance to hitch his
sled to the Lords chariot.

During our epidemic of d~ysentery, in
the summer of 1879, I sold 1OS bottles
of Chamberlain's Collc, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, and it proved salts
factory in every Instance. The remedy
is standard in this community. Geo.
B. Dunbar, Druggist, Center Point, La.
The epidemic referred to was by far the
worst thatever occurred in Iowa. Over
forty persons died from it in a town of
only 500 inhabitants; but every case
in which this remedy was used recov-
cred. 1t was equally successful during
the epidemic of bloody fux in Virginia
in 1887 and Michigan and southern lii
nols in 1888. 1t has been in constant
use over eighteen years, and has proved
itself to be the most successful medi-
cine yetdiscovered for bowel complaints.

PROFESSOR BRANDER MATTHEWS

PROFESSOR BRANDER MATTHEWS
maintains that slang has a useful
function to preform in supplying
new words to an inelastic language.
He also says that the most superior
slang comes from the west. The
logical conclusion must be that the
effete east is compelled to look to
the west for the rejuvenating forces
of its speech.
