of some city or state. The statement that
321 banks failed last year is no near
er true. The actual number which
failed was 158. OF these, sc resumed
in few days and seven more were in
the examiners hands, preparing to re-
sumo, leaving, as a net result, sIxty-fve
banks which failed. These had CAPT
tai of S10,935, 900, or about one and
four tenths per cent of the entire CAPT
tai of the whole.
Of the banks which failed some will
pay their depositors in full and have
something left for the stockholders.
Some will only pay the depositors. In
this case the stockholders will lose their
investment. The probability is that the
final losses to the depositors will be re-
duced to small figures.
Now why did these banks fail? Be-
cause those who had borrowed their
money did not pay them. That is the
whole story, all there is of it. Some peo-
pie borrowed money, failed to repay it,
and then banks had to close up. Where

PETERS Treason.

Philadelphia Bulletin
The question of what is to be done
with Senator PETER for his reasonable
utterances touching the strike is entire
ly relevant and proper. Students of
American law are familiar with the fact
that when the president, in his lawful
exercise of power, calls upon the army
or navy to enforce the law, those who
oppose those forces or give aid and COM
fort to such as oppose them are them
selves guilty of treason and liable to be
punished for the offense The Kansas
senator has given both aid and comfort
to the Chicago rioters, and he has done
it deliberately. He selected the very
worst possible time in which to do il,
practically notifying the rioters that
they had one friend in the senate who
would excuse their crime in a constitu-
tional assemblage. Under oath himself
to support the constitution and laws, he
subtlv attacks both, even demanding
the overthrow of congress and the es-
adjustment of junta of congenial
demagogues like himself in place of the
present government. If that is not
treason in an official in his position, the
crime has not been we'll defined

1t Was a Long Time Planned
Conspiracy.

Philadelphia Enquirer.
The strike now on is, and from its in
ceptlon never has been, battle between
organized labor AM capital in behalf OF
the Pullman workers, said prominent
official of the knights of Labor
1t is the result, pure and simple, of a
fight for supremacy within and among
laboring organizations. In other words,
the strike Is trump card played by la
Dor leaders in the game which they are
playing against the leaders of rival or
CARNATIONS and against rivals in their
own orders.
Six months ago the Knights found
positive proof of the fact that the great
body of the order were thoroughly dis
gusted, and that the order was ON the
verge of falling to pieces.
The decision was soon reached that
the only salvation for them lay in a
general uprising of labor.
They were also urged to this deter
mination by the fact that the federation
of labor was waging war to the death
against the Knights. There was but
one, a young and vigorous order, favor
able to and built upon the Knights of
Labor idea of striking.
That order was the American Railway
Union. The leaders of the Knights at once
proceeded to fraternize with the railway
union for the defeat of the federation
proposed in convention for the unifca-
ton of labor leaders.
At conference in January it was de-
cided to issue secret order to the mas
ter workman of every local assembly of
the Knights asking him to call upon all
members to pay in 5 cents weekly to
an emergency fund, to be used in a
movement of national Importance.
Meanwhile the leaders waited for an OPP
portunity for the proposed uprising.
Plans were lad for the present mp
raising, and the Pullman strike offered
the desired opportunity. All plans
were perfected and funds made ready
before move was made. This strike is
the most formidable and deeply planned
of any uprising that has ever occurred
in civilized country in a half century.
IF its outcome will only serve to con-
vince honest laboring men that they are
being used as footballs by lot Of high
salaried officials, and if the conviction
will eventuate in the construction of Or
carnations with the scheme leaders con-
spicuous by their absence the cost will
not be so great as may now appear.
