The report of the Senate committee
that investigated the failure of the Nav
erick bank handles the officers of that in
stitution without gloves. The three
directors who owned most of the bank
handled the deposits placed in it as their
own private property, loaning to them
selves far beyond the statute amount and
covering up their loans by fictitious
notes signed by all sorts Of persons who
were mere dummies. The report shows
that the bank examiner was in constant
collision with the officials. Indeed had
he been honest and faithful to his duty
the bank never could have been looted to
the extent it was. The committee make
several recommendations for legislation
to throw additional safeguards around
the banks. 49,

The feelings of the south on the subject
of lynchings, it is to be hoped, are not to
be gagged by the bill now pending in the
legislature of Texas, which seeks to
legalize this disposition Of those who
commit certain offenses. Indeed there
appears observable in many parts of the
south healthy change in public senti-
ment on this subject which aligurs well
for the future. It has been the want OF
such public sentiment in the past that
has made possible SO much of lawless-
ness in the southern states, and the pres
emit evidence of a.changed public opinion
is most satisfactory.

The Republican convention adjourned
yesterday without making any nomin-
alton for mayor because no one of num-
Der of business men indicated by the in
formal ballots as acceptable to the con-
vention would allow the use of his name.
In every case the reason of the declina-
ton was supposed inability to give the
time needed for the proper discharge of
the duties of the Office. All the gentle

busy men, and undoubtedly their ac-
ceptance would have involved good
deal of self sacrifice. 1t must be borne
in mind, however,, that tunless men are
willing to make some sacrifice the man.
agement of city affairs will drift
into the hands of incompetents
and then not only will the city
suffer in its corporate capacity, but every
individual in it will suffer also. Good
government is only possible when the
men of capacity in the community, the
men who enjoy and command the conf
dence of their fellow citizens are willing
to bear some of its burdens. If such
men are not willing to make sacrifices
they have no right to complain if the
city's affairs are badly administered.
The reluctance of prominent business
men to give some of their time and tai
ents to the discharge of the duties of
Mayor, which was indicated at yester-
days convention, is bad sign, and if
persisted in will eventually result dis
astrously to the city.

aauah nv HIa Nose.

Gentlemen" said the man from Che
boyan County, as he leaned back In his
chair, mo doubt you have all remarked
nv nose. 1t is remarked wherever l
60. l have seen three or four other
noses like it in my travels, but l think
can truthfully say that it Is the only
one OF it's kind In the State OF Michigan.
Wine aud eryslpelas did the business
for me. have had it frost-bitten three
or four times besides, and It's no use for
me to pretend that 1t isn't a lulu OF
nose. There are times when | would
give $4,000 to exchange it for fair
looking nasal organ, and there are other
times when feel the greatest spirit or
friendliness for It. 1t is just about three
years ago now that my nese saved my
life"
We expressed our surprise and inter-
est and asked for the story, and after
tenderly caressing his landmark, the
man observed:
at was down in Tennessee. had
gone to bed for the night at a hotel In
country town, and being tired out, was
soon fast asleep. The first thing l
knew the door OF my room was kicked
in aud dozen men piled on to me.
They dragged me down stairs
without giving me time to dress
and without answering any questions,
and was hustled through the front door
and out upon the street. There were
dozen men there on horseback, and one
of them produced noosed rope, and
flung it over my head. There was
crowd of about fifty altogether, and
they run me quarter OF mile TO
tree and made ready for hanging. 1t
was only when they had given me five
minutes in which to pray that l could
make my voice heard. Inquired what
it all meant, and one OF the crowd
called out:
"'If that's Jim Burbanks, he's got a
new voice on him! Let's have a look
at his FACET
They lighted matches and got a
view Of my phiz, and the fellow who had
called out before, now exclaimed:
"'Hold on, boysl We've got the
wrong man! He looks like Jim In every
thing but that nose! Ye Godsl what
nose! He ought to be willing to be hung
for carrying around such thing, but
mebbe he isn't. Here, now-who are
you?"
at turned out that Jim Burbank had
shot man at country store a dozen
miles away. They said we looked as
much alike "a twin brothers-aIl but
our noses. They had tracked the
murderer in our direction, and the
landlord had given me away TO the pur-
seurs They treated me right royalty
when they discovered their mistake,
but was assured over and over again
that but for my nose / should have
been pulled up TO the limb"

BERLIN, August 5.-The North Ger
man Gazette, commenting upon Russia's
abrupt change Of front from negotiating
a treaty TO hostile action dangerous to
Russian interests, publishes tables show
ing the former and the existing Russian
duties and comparing them with the
German tariff on Russian goods. The
tables show that Russian duties before
the war averaged 100 per cent. and
were now raised to an lmpracticable
height This comparison finally settles
the Russian assertion that Germany
lniated the conflict by raising her tariff
and compelling Russia 70 raise hers.

COLUMBIA, S. c., August 5.-The
rough treatment accorded to Governor
Tillman's dispensary spies in Sumter
and Charleston has made the Governor
angry. He has announced that he Is
going TO arm the constables and intend
ed to give them instructions to shoot
anybody who interfered with them.
Just as the newspaper men were ABOUT
TO leave the executive chamber Yester-
day Governor Tillman walked over TO a
cabinet and opened a drawer. ln II
there were lot OF belts. Another
drawer was opened aud in 1t were lot
OF Colts army revolvers. When Gov

were for be replied:
Look at sections SIT and SIS ana you

The Western Strangers Sad Experience
I'm Barber shop.

In Barber SHOP
he entered barber shop and re-
moved coat, vest, necktie, collar and
cuffs, and took chair. The barber
wet a sponge and dabbed 1t on his face
and joyously remarked:
well, it's got here at last-that hot
wavel"
The man got up, slipped out OF the
chair aud replaced everything ne had
taken of. The whole shop force was
looking at him as he calmly handed out
fifteen cents and took his departure.
He went north on Griswold until he
struck another shop. There was a
chair waiting for him and he removed
the same articles Of dress as before and
sat down.
"Have a haircut frstP" querled the
barber as he ran his paw over the stran-
gers head.
"No."
Gan right. Did you notice the Their
mometer over on the avenue?"
The stranger slid out Of the chair and
resumed his coat, vest, collar, tie and
laid fifteen cents on the show case and
walked out. The barber tried TO ask
for ad explanation. but he was slut
terer and could only get as far as:
"S-s-s-s-ay, y-y-y-y-you-F
The man walked up the street until
be struck another shop.
Just in time, sir" said one OF the
BARRIERS, who had been waiting forty
minutes for custome:.
The stranger looked at him In a
thought way for half minute, and
then proceeded to peel of according to
programme. He had just got seated
when the barber ceased washing out
his lather brush TO say:
IF this thing keeps on she'll reach
95 degrees by two o'clock"
The man got up, threw the apron
aside and was putting on his collar
when the barber inquired:
Anything the matter, sir?"

The financial stringepcy has touched
solid old Wheeling slight slaucing
blow in the assignment Of the Exchange
Bank, which, however, is only
temporary suspension, due. not to in
solvency. but to the prevalent scare"
and tendency to cash up investments
and put money in stockings.
The Exchange Bank has over a quar-
ter of a million OF dollars over and
above its liabilities, and is to-day as
sound as any bank 10 the world.
1t has simply been compelled to sus-
pend until confidence is restored
and currency freed from the
obstructinR rock of senseless
and groundless fear The prevailing
strlngency in the money market has
compelled it, along with dozens Of 9th
ers Of the soundest banks in the coun-
try to suspend, simply to await devel-
opments in the financial situation, and
not from insolvency.
The Exchange bank is able TO pay
considerably more than dollar for dol
lar, aud its present course is as much
for the protection Of its depositors as
for its own safety.
In fact, every bank in Wheeling is as
safe and sound and solid as our hills
and the depositor who draws out his
money will be his own enemy.
Aside from the fact that our banks
are solvent, their stockholders are in
dividualIy liable for double the amount
Of the capital, thus doubly securing
the depOsitors.
A run on q solvent Institution, there
fore, such as every bank in Wheel
ing is, is simply suicidal. The
soundest bank in creation could
not call in its loans or cash up It's Sc
curities at a moments notice even in
"hush" timeS With money as close
as it is, with no one lending or invest
ing and everybody scrsmbling to pull
in loans aud pull out of every invest
ment and sit down on the hard cash,
there is nothing left for banks to do
but stand still and wait.
That is what the Exchange Bank is
now doing. Nothing more. It is per-
iectly solvent
After Congress shall have repealed
tho sherman act and restored confidence
the reaction which will follow as sure
as day follows night will not only make
those who are now substituting socks
for bank vaults heartily ashamed OF
themselves, but give them basis upon
which to figure up their losses.
