well-founded assertion that President
Cleveland said recently that he would
terminate the reciprocity treaty with

A curious case, says the Portland Tom
ahawk, either of injured innocence or
bold rancalty was that Of Charles Pooch
OF Albina, who has been held to appear
before the United States grand jurv, on
charge of illicitly distillng whiskey.
Pooch, who is German and apparent
ly hard working one, was EN-.
ployed in the car shops and made his
liquor after finishing in the evening. He
does not deny that he made 1t or that he
had still, both Of which are violations
OF the law. But he said he was expert
menting in order to find better methods
OF making the stuff. He hoped in time
to invent an improved still. He
spoke most ingenuously about his
project and his ideas and was greatly
shocked to Learn that he had violated the
law. There are not many moonshiners
around here, in fact seldom are they
heard Of. The chief eliminating circum.
stance with Pooch is that he has contin.
ned his experiments for about three
wears and made much more whiskey
than he could consume, which forces one
to conclude that he sold IT,

National bank deposits have only doubled

In short, at New York, and the same is
true elsewhere, the growth in banking
capital and deposits is toward state banks
and trust Companies, which are under a
less rigorous supervision than national
banks and which are allowed larger risks
and hence can make larger profits.

WHAT 9TH ERs SAY.

Tacoma Union: The cargo OF cotton
taken by the Northern Pacific steams ship
Tacoma for China and Japan opens up
new field of commerce between this
country and the Orient, and will change
the direction Of shipments from the cot
ton belt OF the South, which now go
almost exclusively to the Atlantic sea
board. This shipment OF cotton to China
and Japan does not mean that those
countries are only now beginning to use
raw cotton. 1t simply means that a
nearer and cheaper route liz opened up to
them, Of which they have just begun to
take advantage.
Portland Oregonian: The low price OF
cotton has been the making OF the South
in the same way that the low price of
wheat may be the making of the Pacific
Northwest, by forcing farmers to diversi-
iy their crops and grow their own food,
instead Of importing it from the North
and paying two commissions to middle
men, one for cotton sold aud another for
