The National Economist has been
investigating the theatrical business of
last season as compared with that of
the previous year, and finds that in
forty-seven representative playhouses
in the principal cities of the country,
for every $4,000 received during the
first three months of 1898, their re-
ceipts amounted to only 3,4O8 during
the first three months of the present
year, the loss being 27 per cent.

A Run on a Bank.

| Those who read about runs on
banks" said George NJ Shelley, "thinI,
only of the excitement on one side Of
the counter and have little idea of
what goes on on the other side of if.
Some fifteen years ago | was clerk in Il
small bank in Montreal upon which
there was a steady run. Beyond say
! ing with the scriptures An enemy
hath done this we could give no en-
| PLANTATION for the attack, because the
| bank, although small, was in Il healthy
condition. Every large depositor, how
ever, wanted his money out at once
| and an hour before closing time it be-
| came evident that we could not posi-
bly, hold out unless q large amount Of
currency and coin could be obtained
| right away. The cashier min gled with
the crowd and assured the loudest
takers that the bank would pay dollar
for dollar and other means were adopt-
ed to allay suspicion. These, however,
were of no avail and the entire staff,
which was not very large, realized
that the end was near. just as we did
this relief occurred in q very remark
able manner.
Our president, who was man OF
very high standing in the community,
was not at the bank that dav. but,
hearing of the run, came in. He was
one of those men who were evidently
cut out for leaders or rulers, for his
influence was felt in moment Adj
dressing the crowd, he absolutely TO-
nored the danger of suspension and
told those in the rear, who were in a
hurry, to bring up their checks to him
and he would exchange them for his
own personal checks on another and
larger bank in the city. Two or three
accepted his offer, but the balance of
the crowd was so impressed with his
GOODNESS and evident good faith that
they seemed rather ashamed of them
selves and went away. We closed up
that night with nominal balance in
the safe, but before morning we had
secured large amount of specie and
several who had drawn out the after
noon previous paid in their money
again. The bank is still in existence |
aud IS probably as safe as anv small |
bank In the country"

JUDGING from the arguments OF protec-
tionists the tariff on agricultural prod
ucte, regularly increased, would soon
make it wholly unnecessary for the farm
er to do any work at all. He could just
press the button and the tariff would do
all the rest. Indeed it 1s more than pos
sible that he conld dispense with land al
together and live off the tariff.
Iffarmers are wise they will continue
to rely upon their own industry and IN
telligent cultivation of the soil. OF all
the absurd, new tangled schemes yet de.
vised TO turn the farmers attention from
honest toll and make him believe that he
can have something for nothing Is this
tariff business. 1t will be an evil day for
this country when we shall have tariff
farmers looking to legislation for their
profits and whiting dry goods boxes for
employment. We have had an example
of that species of labor in the evolution
OF the populist party. The farmer OF
Kansas and Nebraska gave too much
heed to the advice OF the politician and
became an agitator instead OF a tiller Of
the soil. The result may be seen in the
abandoned farms in these states, in dl
lapidated and deeerted houses and In
perverted ideas of how a competency may
be secured.

q. 8. BONDS FOR SALE.

Under our present financial condi-
ton it is natural that a large amount
of money is boarded by the people.
But keeping the money under your
own charge is not by all means absol-
ute safety. Fire, thieves and other
vermin are endangering its safety,
owing to which you are constantly
kept in a state of anxiety. To give
you a chance for which we offer Unit
ed States Bonds for an investment,
which are considered the safest in the
world OF these we keep a certain
line on hand, and can get any amount
on short notice. These bring about
q per cent, net interest payable quar-
terly. The interest coupons can be
cashed at our bank.
If preferred we can have these
bonds registered in any ones name
desired with the Go 'ernment, SO that
if burnt, stolen or lost in any manner
nothing will be lost to the owner. If
at any time you should need the money
such bonds could be sold, as there is
market for them every day. Under
such conditions Government Bonds
are safer than gold and more profit
able, inasmuch as they bear some inter
est while gold none, and therefore bet,
ter to hoard than any kind of money.

A COPY of The Wisconsin Patriot bear
ing the date Of December 80, in which is q
column editorial relating to the editor OF
this paper, has been forwarded to this
Office The Patriot is an A. P. \. paper,
not on Interchange list of The Pilot, and
it takes serious exceptions to an editor
ial in late issue OF The Pilot in which
it's mode OF warfare is criticised. 1t as
sumes that The Pilot, being published
by Roman Catholic must use Roman
Catholic arguments, which The Patriot
AYERS consists OF abuse.
It was the employment Of abuse by
The Patriot to which The Pilot objected.
There is no excuse for any church or any
religious or anti-religious organization
taking part in politics. When any such
does 80, it should be as political organ
izatlon, The editor of The Pilot does
not know that the Catholic Knights or
the Ancient Order of Hibernians takes
part in political contests as he is men,
Der OF neither order, but it either does,
it Is no justification OF an onslaught upon
Catholics generally, any more than the
fact that the doings of the A. P. A., il
reprehenslble, would justify an attack
upon q. S. citizens generally, because Of
the presumption that the members OF
that order are American citizens. For
instance, what possible connection with
political agitation can the confessional
have, that The Patriot should lug it IN as
il does.
The Patriot and The Catholic Citizen
are engaged in controversy, each strlv-
ing to derive reputation and profit from
the result. The Pilot is as Indifferent to
the result, so far as the individual inter-
ests of either paper is concerned, as it Is
with the mode Of advertising employed
by any other paper. But its neutrality
does no: include Is supine acceptance OF
abuse OF friends because OF their religion,
as part OF newspaper prospectus.
II the A. P. A. has any grievance
o&oihoO SoSuoilCo OcCdubc vi Gucil poilGi-
cal activity 1t should not extend to abuse
Of their religious belief. The Pilot does
not believe in any sect taking part, as
such, in political controversy as its
record IN the:past proves. Neither does
it believe Ia any prescription against any
form of religion. Nothing good ever
comes OF religious intolerance or proscrip-
tive methods. The introduction of re-
llgion in politics dates from the election
Of 1890 and We are soon to reap whlrl-
wind. "a plague upon both your houses"
should be the general verdict of the
American people. But interests whose
success depends upon disturbed state
of public feeling, will not permit any such
RELOCATION Of the controversy. A state OF
war IL by no means Improbable to many.

IT is always pleasure to read the edi-
torial columns of The Spencer Tribune.
They have the pleasing flavor of original
lty, independence and of elegance of ex-
preston. Vandercook takes his thought
from no source but his own brain and for
this reason 1t would be interesting to
know how he iustifes the opinion that
the hard times are due to change Of ad-
changed.
Attention must be given to the fact
that if business interests suffer from a
contemplated change of tariff to the e1-
tent claimed in the present instance,
then the tariff counts for more than our
industry, energy and intelligence Be
sides if change causes such sudden in
dustrial disturbances, abundant oppor-
tunity has been given for their manifesto
ton by the frequent changes in the past
for the benefit OF the protected classes.
There was greater change made by the
Mckinley law in the tariff OF 1884, than
the Wilson bill contemplates IN the Nc
Kinley law. The change was fundamen-
tai IL that it recognized prohibitory i'm
position IT custom duties. The protec-
tive feature is pretty well recognized in
the Wilson bill, not as matter OF choice
with the chairman of the committee, how
ever.
If we are to believe protectionists, any
"tlnkering with the tariff" is fruitful OF
evil. But the tariff was "tinkered" with
most reprehensible regularity in their in
terest until the ne plus ultra of desire,
for time, was reached in the enactment
of the Mckinley law. From that time
on "tInkeriug" has assumed it's vicious
qualities. Vestal fire was no more sacred
from the touch OF profane hands than is
the tariff when it has filled the demand
OF hose who have created it with unset
fish purpose for the benefit OF the laborer.
To look askance at 1t now is to make in
dustrial interests tremble and to invite
catastrophe.
We are still rcnnlng under the Nc
Kinley law, but its saving hand is not
reached forth to assist us in our s1trem-
lty. Why is it thus inactive? Are peo-
pie SO foolish as to anticipate evils and
hasten to meet them, not await their ar
rival? If Mr.. Vandercook is reasonably
satisfied that his printing Office will prove
bnt poor investment in 1895, will he
hasten the event by refusing to do any
thing in 1894?

Gov PECK will never be accused of in
gratitude in matters political. In writ
ing of the A. P. A., he Jugs liz the Ben
nett law which he pronounces "obnox-
ious," though to begin with he approx
ed it. 1'he attempt to link the Bennett
law and the A. P. A. agitation is freak
Of the imagination in Gov. Peck 8
case an unwillingness to drop the lever
by which he was elevated to Office. The
A. P. A. is recruited largely from a class
who were the strongest supporters of
Gov. Peck.

The Chicago Herald has discontinued
it's weekly because it did not pay. The
paper had 10000 subscribers and was
made up OF matter taken from the dailies
so that there was no expense except for
blank paper and running off. Four years
ago the writer heard Mr.. Scott, manager
of The Herald, say that he would be glad
if he could donate the weekly to some
one. There ID not a daily paper in the
country running a weekly which would
not be glad to be rid Of it.

Col. VILAs's testimony In the roster
deal is interesting in that it shows how
the Bennett law senator looks out for
No. /. Judging from the testimony, the
examination was inspired by Col. Villas
himself, and was intended to show that no

the senator's skirts were wholly clear. 1t
was on line wholly consistent with the
past OF the man whom Wisconsin has SO
