REPEAL TAX ON STATE BANKS
DEFEATED,

The rs Democrats in the house of
representatives, who voted against
the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on
state banks were undoubtedly gov
ernedty the idea attributed to the
Jesuts that they might do wrong
that good may come of it, The tax
was not put upon state banks in order
that the government might derive
any revenue from it. 1t is and was
meant to be prohibtory to insure a
monopoly of banking to the national
banks, Mr.. Springer is one of the
Democrats who vote d against the res
peal. We suppose he was influenced
in his vote by the opinion he holds
and reiterated not long since, that the
states have no right to authorize
banks to issue notes, and fix value
upon them. He thinks that belongs
solely to the Federal government.
That may be true, but still state banks
may do business without being banks
of issue, and at any rate Mr.. SpIinger's
vote against the repeal of this taxing
bill and by which his object was ac.
complished of continuing to tax state
banks out of competition with ma.
tional banks was indirect and unfair
and of no more force than the idea
that others had, that they
might do wrong if good was the
result of the wrong. While
we do not believe in state banks of
issue, We do regard the prohibitory
tax voted by Democrats as wrong and
in violation of all Democratic princi.
pies. If the national Democratic
platform had not recommended the
repeal of the state bank tax, its re.
peal would have been in line of
Democratic principles and policy, tor
it is nothing less than a prohibitory
tariff protective OF national banks. A
literal construction Of the constitution
of the United States, in our humble
opinion, prohibits state banks OF issue,
but it is unnecessary for Democrats to
endorse protective tariff, such as the

Braastreet's Financial Review,

NEW YORK, June S.-Bradstreet's
Financial Review tomorrow will say:
Speculative activity has been on g,
slightly increased sale. Narrow COL
ditlons, however, continue to surround
the market and the want of any gem
eral interest in railroad and other Sc =
curities is apparent. Thep OCCASIONAL
element in Wall street and other cities
seem to be still responsible for the
bulk of the saetlOns in the share
list, though tuI.'wtek has presente
evidences Of renewed activity on
the part Of yhe larger spectators.
The eX en>ive short interest has fur
nished material for a fairly general
lmpTDre.hent in quotations, based
upra - e adup ion of the sugar sched-
ule - tH;. senate on the IT lection of
"a .J""stlre repealing 10 per cent tax
Oh ,, a,e D-uk circulation and on the
advanced pro S of wheat la this
movement sugar hung back and the
lead WdS ,nken by the railroad stocks,
which Pcp.ed advances in the face of
continued uuiavOrable earnings and
reports 81 damage from storms as we'll
as serious Interruptions TO traffic from
he effects of the coal strike. The
purchasing power has been confined
10 covering of short sales and manip-
ulation intended to take advantage of
this circumstance.
Some Still purchasing from London
is though to be purely speculative, or
to have originated in part on this side
of the ocean. The fact that foreign
exchange holds steady at the gold
point and that this " eek Sc, $50, 900
gold was shipped to Europe is conclu-
sive as to the unwillingness of foreign
interests to purchase Americans in
any quantity. Financial circles were
undoubtedly encouraged by the defeat
OF the proposition to permit state bank
note Issues The vote against the
measure was unexpectedly large and
the feeling in such quarters is that a
considerable advance has been made
towards the settlement OF the currency
and the banking laws on conservative
lines.
AS a speculative factor, however,
this matter was subordipated to the
adoption by the senate of the amended
suger schedule of the tariff bill. This
conclusion is drawn by the Wall street
spectators aud that this action indi-
Gates the speedy passage by the sem
ate of the entire schedule and the con.
Sequent release Of business from the
uncertainty of which state the pend.
ing tariff legislation has been the
cause. 1t is noticeable, however, that
sugar stock, though the supposed ben.
eficiary of the action, did not "boomn
on the news.
Washington speculative buying was
conspicuous in the movement, which
carried the price up to los Ia, but
realizing followed and the stock sold as
low as Oh Ia Cd Friday, the fluctua-
tons being confined to narrow limits.
Intimations not only that there would
be further delay on the tariff ia the
senate with opposition to the sugar
schedule, but that the later provision
would be the object of disagreement
between house and senate should the
bill go to conference, appear to have
had restraining effect On speculation
in this security. The declaration of
the company's regular dividend passed
unuoticed and the manipulation
presents traces of a desire to prevent
any advance in the stock.

DAMAGE BY FLOODS.
1t Will Cost the Oregon Company a
Million Dollars for Repairs.


Million Dollars for Repairs.
OMAHA, Neb., June S-The damage
to the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
ton company by the present floods in
the Columbia aud Snake rivers seems
to have been considerably over esti-
mated, according to Secretary Il. M.
Orr of the Union Pacific.
In many places he said
the track would undoubtedly
be found intact when the waters fell,
The repairs necessary to bring the
track back to its old condition will be
made by the Union Pacific, but will be
charged up against the Oregon Rail
way company, which will have to make
good the amount expended for main
tenance of the repair of the road.
Probably it will take $1,000 600 to put
the road back in it's normal
condition. which leave the
net earnings of the Oregon
company in very delapidated state.
But there will he few heartaches on
the part of Union Pacific officials
when the road sewers its connection
with the overland. Should the Ore.
gon Railway and Navigation company
get q eeparate receivership it would
leave he Union Pacific in much bet
ter condition through traffic arrange
meuts than through its present lease
on the lines, which includes some 1000
miles OF track and water facilities.

were saying nothing could be worse
than this perpetual fear and this never
ending hunger" At Il public speak
ing a poor man rushed into the room
saving he wished they would hang
him. He felt that hanging was pref
cradle to slow starvation. 1.-The dis
appointment of the people" says Nc
Carthy, took the form of inidelity."
Now at such time as this, when
the hope of a peaceful settlement
seemed .indeed an indecent dream,
few earnest, thoughtful men banded
together and formed au "anti coin
law league" They subscribed liber'
ally, made vigorous educational can
vass, lecturing and holding great po-
litical meetings, which might have
been taken for religious revivals. The
presses worked continually, England
was flooded with tracts and pamphlets
and the result was that the most re-
markable revolution of modern times
followed in the course OF few years,
the corn laws were overthrow and
England took grand stride by opens
ing her harbors to the free admittance
of the products Of other lands and
climes. 1t was step towards
human brotherhood. 1t was step
looking towards the closest federation
of the nations of the world, and in
spite of the savage opposition and
gloomy predictions of ruin il proved a
splendid policy, England became the
commercial metropolis of the world
This resolution was accomplished
peaceably at time when hate and
universal discomfort seemed to make
bloody revolution inevitable" The
writer then draws the conclusion that
we are ia the midst of such crisis and
ought to profit by the example.
The object of the National Union
for Practical Progress is first, popular
educational agitation against the
sweating system, against the tenement
system, the opening of public parks
and Fairgrounds; secondly, the weld
ing together of those who love for the
service of these who suffer-that is, to
bring into sympathy and cooperation
different organizations of moral, in
dustrial and social reform; thirdly,
education of fundamental character,
aud fourthly, practical philanthropy.
Mr.. Flower then appeals to all who
lesire to unite in the work to subscribe
81 a year to the national educational
'und for the purpose of putting labor
,rs in the field, this 81 to be paid when
$1,000 is subscribed. We desire to app
ply the illustration to our present con-
lition of affairs and demonstrate from ,

orm of the tariff proposed by the
Democratic party was along this line !

A GOOD man may be maligned and
misrepresented and abused for awhile,
but, like truth crushed to earth, he
will rise again, and the great and the
good will come to do aim reverence.
Andrew Jackson was burned in effigy,
but two years afterwards if any man
had proposed to re-enact that little in
dignity to Old Hickory he would have
been burned himself. He outlived evil
report in two years, and within that
time was the most popular mar in the
country. Mark the prediction, within
two years the Democratic party, with
an assured tremendous majority, will
be clamorous for Mr.. Cleveland's nom
ination for third term. 1t is our
honest belief that no man will 90
down to history more honored as a
wise and honest statesman and man
of unquestioned integrity than will
Grover Cleveland.

large amount of money, mostly IN
crisp bank notes from the LongvieW,

weeks ago, and more than 100 letters
were found, many of them addressed
to Bill Dalton. The remains were
placed in wagon and taken to his
wife's home in Ardmo1e, and were i'm

at once became hysterical from grief.
In appearance Dalton is a typical
desperate, being 5 feet 8 inches tall,
weight about 10 pounds, with long,
black curly hair, moustache and
goatee. G. Loss Hart, the man who
gave Dalton his death wound, is Sc

Miss Shane q Bride.

1t will doubtless be surprise to many
to learn that Miss Irene Shane, one of the
teachers in the second grade primary de
partment of the local public schools, is a
bride. She rendered her resignation to
the school authorities yesterday and
taught her class for the last time to-
day. Miss Hannah Scanlan has been
assigned to take Miss Shane's class.
The surprise is double, decked one, in
that it appears that Miss Shane was mar
ried to G. H. Lewis, formerly an employe
of the HERALD, year ago last August.
The union was so successfully surrounded
by secrecy that it has only just leaked out,
Mr. Lewis has been residing in Philadel.
phia the past few months. He is expected
here tomorrow.

Glotke Not Guilty.

One night several weeks ago Max
Glotke, who was acting temporarily as
clerk in a South Main street store, was
sent out to get couple of pairs of boots
for customer who could not get what
he wanted from the stock in the store.
Glotke hurried to store on Main street,
south of Cherry, and in running back
with the two pairs OF boots lie
had purchased passed Sam Blocks store.
Mrs. Block, seeing the fleeing man with
two pairs of boots in his hand, jumped
to the conclusion that a case standing in
front of her husbands store had been
robbed. She alarmed her husband When
Glotke reached the stone where he was
employed he was closely followed by
Block, who charged the clerk with steal
ing the boots Glotke protested his inno-
cence and called the Polish shoe dealer
from whom he had made the Purchases
as a Witness but Mrs. Bloch was
positive that the boots were taken from
one Of her husbands cases An arrest
was made and Glotke WIS put under bail.
Yesterday the case was called for trial au
Pottsville. Hon. @. ~ Brumm and M.
NJ Burke Esq, appeared for Glotke and
w. d. Seltzer, Esq, represented the
commonwealth. The trial lasted until
the adjournment of court and this morn
ing verdict of not guilly was handed in
by the jury.
