THE STRIKE AT LITTLE ROCK.

Yesterdays dispatches from Lit
tie Rock declare the strike situa-
ton, in that city to be serious in
the extreme. The cannon ball
train, which left that city on the
previous evening was stopped by
strikers, about 800 strong, at Bar
ring Cross, where the fireman
was persuaded to abandon the en-
CINE.
Chief of Police, Mcmahon, of Lit
tie Rock, together with fifteen
special police officers, and . S.
Deputy Marshal, Gaines, with a
small force of deputies, were all
aboard the train and tried, with
every means at their command,
short of personal violence, to dis
suade the strikers from interference
but all to no avail, as little, if any
attention was paid to the officers by
the excited crowd.
The chief then tried to have the
train sidetracked, but a removed
rail ditched the engine, the strikers
having already cut the air hose,
stay chains, etc, Mayor Hall ar
rived about midnight and addressed
the strikers, telling them that
the trains would be moved if it took
all the military in the state to do it
A switch engine was procured and
the cannon ball, save the mail car
and disabled engine, was hauled
back to the union depot.
At 1890 the Little Rock and
Memphis train, with sleeper, four
coaches and mail car, was stop
ped by about rs strikers just as il
was starting out with 700 800 pas
sengers, bound for Memphis, who
had attended the interstate drill
The strikers persuaded the fireman
to quit the train Two Others vol
unteered, but the engineer refused
to 90 out with the train.
A committee waited on Receiver
Fink who was present and asked
him to cut off the Pullman. He re
Piled that he had instructions from

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.
A Net Decrease Shown to Exist in
the Past Weeks Reserve
Funds.

The New York Financier, of this
week, says; The bank statement
for the past week shows a net de
crease in the total cash of 81, 626,
700, while the decrease in the sur
plus reserve amounts to 81, 552, 035.
The lowering of the deposits to the
extent of 1898, 700, accounts for the
difference ga, 500 between the de-
crease in cash and decrease in the
reserve. A very favorable feature
of the statement is the expansion
of loans to the amount of 81, $50, 700
making the aggregate loans 1870,
O44, 200, yet this is far from salts
factory considering that the total
deposits are $673, 1897, 800, or nearly
one hundred and three millions
greater than the loans. 1t is safe
to say that the banks here are not
making any profit under these cir
cumstances. The enormous amount
of surplus cash lying here belongs
principally to country banks
When there is no demand for
funds throughout the country the
interior banker promptly piles up
all of his surplus on his New York
correspondent, who likewise can
find no use for it, and just as soon
as there is a demand for money in
New York there is a demand for it
elsewhere, and the interior banks
draw down there balances.
One very noticeable item in the
statement is the heavy decrease in
specie as, 976, 500, which is almost
counterbalanced by the increase in
legal tenders GA, 349,S 5000. This
changing over of the kind of money
held by the banks was caused by
the gold subscriptions to the treas
ury department as made by the
banks in accordance with an agree
ment reached last week to make up
the seven millions furnished by the
treasury for export. At the close
of business on Friday the treasury
department reported that there
had been received on account OF
this seven millions, $6, 278, 900. The
detailed bank statement does not
show accurately which banks put
up the gold, but as there is a de
crease in the specie reported by
nearly every bank in the associa-
ton, the supposition is that it has
been furnished according to the
percentages reported in The Finan-
cier last week. The reserve held
by the New Yord banks above the
legal requirements amounts to
$74, 800, $50

REPUBLICANS KNOCKED OUT.
Senator Irby's Vote in Favor of the
Tariff Bill Does the
Work.

w dSulllS ION NEWS, Oh yesterday
relates the fact that some of the
Republican Senators acknowledge
that up to the last moment, on
Wednesday, before the final vote,
on passage of the tariff bill, was or
dered, they had confident hopes of
accomplishing its defeat.
Hill was against the measure.
This they we're sure of. 1t was
thought that he would control Irby
and if this was the case, Gallery
and Blanchard would follow If
their expectations as to the votes
of these gentlemen had been real
lied the bill would have been beat
en-. When Caffery's name was call
ed he voted against the passage of
the bill. 1t astonished the Demo
Gratis and the Republicans smiled.
Hills name came next and he
voted no. The smile of satisfaction
became broad on the Republican
countenance. Irbys name came
next and he voted yea. The smile
faded, for now it was seen that the
bill was bound to pass. Blanchard
had withdrawn from the Senate
that his name might be passed till
he could see how the cat was Jump
ing. AS soon as Gallery saw the jig
was up he arose, and by unanimous
consent, made a short talk, in which
he said that he changed his vote
yea. He had voted against it be-
cause it was ruinous to his peoples
interests.
His reasons for changing were
very weak and fell very fiat.
Blanchard came in and wanted to
make a few remarks, but he was
cut off by an objection on the part
of Teller
The position of the Louisiana
Senators as Democrats was not
such as to arouse much admira
ton
The members of the ways and
means committee of the House are
already engaged in examining the
Senate bill. 1t will 60 to the House
tomorrow, laid over for a day and
then sent to the ways and means
committee, which will report that
it cannot agree to the Senate
amendments and ask for a confer
ence.
That is the programme now but
it may be changed. Then the fight
will begin, That it is to be fight
on the part of the house conferees
against the Senate amendments is
no longer a matter of doubt. Con
gresham Mcmillan said that in his
opinion the fight would be fierce,
but perhaps short, and he expected
the measure to become Il law with
in three weeks and that Congress
would adjourn between Aug 2 and
10.
AS soon as the tariff bill is dispos-
ed of congress will be ready to ad-
journ, because the appropriation
bills will consume but short time
in the Senate, and the conference
committee succeeding, very little
time would be lost in getting them
into laws,

power to compel the railways to obey
it's decisions. This looks little one
sided, however, as it provides simply
for the roads and not for the employees
to abide by the decisions. 1t is
doubtful whether anything could be
done that could compel either. but
the willingness of both sides to abide
by the decision ought to be secured,
and proper growth of public sentl-
ment would be much stronger force
then legal enactment in compelling
them to live up to it.
1t will be noticed that the COM

Baltimore, in September, and is ia
vorably impressed with many Of
them. What is known as the Balti
more plan appealed to him as having
many features of especial merit, and
he is said to have studied it closely.
Not only this, but he is also reported
to have taken steps to avail himself
of the views and ideas of men well in
formed upon financial matters, not
only as students, but in practical
every day life, and so get expert opin-
ion on the subject.
1t is also stated ithat assistant
treasurer of the United States, Con-
rad n. Jordan, of New York, is urg-
ing Mr.. Cleveland to recommend to
congress the appointment of nom
partisan commission, composed of
representative men of all sections, to
consider the currency question in all
it's bearings and report system
which will be adequate to the de-
mands of the country and of I'm
doubted safety.
This is a suggestion which might
well be carried out. The currency
question is one which ought to be
kept as free from politics as possible,
and it is one in which every section of
the country is vitality interested.
With the Baltimore plan, which
seems to have gained considerable
favor, to work on, such a commission
ought to be able to devise a system
which would meet all demands.
With the hint which has been
thrown out from Washington, the
presidents message will no doubt be
looked forward to, with more than
the usual interest, which is felt in
that document.

CONFIDENCE REQUIRED.

In an address before a meeting of
the Chicago bankers few evenings
ago, Mr.. Lyman ]. Gage gave some in
teresting figures as to the use of
money and credit in trade. He said
that in one days business at a leading
bank in that city there was received
S269,S16 in money, and $5,29S, 945 in
drafts, checks and bills. A ratio of
the former to the latter of l to 10.
He further showed that this was not
a local coincident but to a greater or
less extent was the experience of the
business world over, as the folio win ,
statement of the per cent. Of the de
posit of drafts, checks and bills Of eX
change to the total deposits will show
New York, 9S4 per cent; London, 81
per cent; Edinburgh, Sc per cent; Dub
lin, 80 per cent.
While the free silver infationist
and fiatists are calling for more none
to do business with, these figure
show conclusively that money enter
into only a small part of the actua
business done. That the conversion
of business is credit, and that thi
must be founded on integrity and con
fidence. Drafts and checks would pla
large part in the business world n
matter how large the volume
money might be, merely as a matte
of convenience. But they must b,
backed by sound money system and
general business confidence.

THE QUESTION OF CURRENCY RE.
EORr1

1t is reported from New York that
President Cleveland is considering
plan for currency reform and that the
major part of his message to congress
next month will be devoted to that
subject. A Washington dispatch says
that when this subject was preached
in an interview with the president,
he disclaimed all knowledge of it, but
admitted that Secretary Carlisle
might be engaged upon some such
matter, and that whatever Mr.. Car
Isle proposed would have his hearty
support.
There is no question, however, but
that any plan which might come from
Mr.. Carlisle, on the matter of cur
rency reform would be looked upon
with more or less suspicion. The man
agement, or rather Encouragement,
of AFFAIRS in the treasury department
under him, does not tend to
strengthen public confidence in his
ability as a financier. Whatever may
be Mr.. Cleveland's ability in this di-
rection, the country will have vastly
more confidence in him upon such a
matter then in his secretary. 1t
would be natural for him if he is
studying the question, to dlsclaim for
the present all knowledge of it,
especially if he has any thought of
making it a principal feature of his
message.
1t is said that he has become thor
oughly convinced that there must be
a complete reorganization of our cur
rency system. He has paid close at
tention to the suggestions made, at
the bankers national convention at

THE PULL1AN STRIKE REPORT

One of the most important reports
of recent times, is that of the COM
mission appointed by President Cleve-
land, to investigate the railroad
strike of last summer 1t is lengthy
document, but will nevertheless
attract general interest. 1t con-
dennis the action of the general man
ayers association and declares that it
embodied the elements of tyranny and
dictatorship, which if continued would
seriously threaten the liberties of the
people. 1t rather excuses the action
of the railway employees to counterfeit
the managers association, on the
ground that the latter set the ex-
ample. 1t states that the action of
the Pullman employees to demand the
wages of 1898 is not justified. Refer
ing to the action of the Pullman COM
pany in reducing wages, it says they
carried the matter to access, but were
hardly more at fault than the EN-
ployes, in insisting on the wages of
June, 1893.
Concerning matters of violence, the
commission states that comparatively
few of the strikers were engaged in
outrages against the law, fact which
is generally admitted by all men, who
have any knowledge of the matter.
The commission recommends the
appointment of permanent federal
strike commission with power of in
vestigation and recommendation as
to disputes between railways and
their employees, and that it be given
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1894-11-23

The Press thinks that these latter
pluralities are significant, and may be
looked upon as ''final rupture of a
south made solid by force and fraud"
And we might say it is all the more
significant in view of the fact that
the Democrats in the recent session of
congress, repealed the federal election
laws so as to be free from all restraint
and carry federal elections to suit
themselves. This was probably one
of the things which contributed to
the people making the result so en-
phatic that fraud could not be car
ried on in wholesale manner, to de-
feat their will.
In the states which the Democrats
carried, they have total plurality of
$50, 200, so that the net plurality of the
Republicans in the nation is over
100000. This serves to give one
some idea of the great turning over
which took place.
In addition to this the Press gives
some interesting figures on the con-
gressional result. Taking the southern
states, it figures out the election of 81
Republican congressman. Ten of these
are from Missouri, six from Kentucky,
and four each from Tennessee and
West Virginia. From the north it
figures out but thirteen Democratic
congressman. OF these New York
furnishes five; Ohio and Penn
sylvania two each, and Califor-
MIA, Illinois, Indiana and Mas
sachusetts one each. 1t is pos
sible that official figures may change
the estimates of the Press, but not
materially.
There have been political revolu-
tions before in plenty, but this one in
it's general sweep, rather puts them
all in the shade.
