MR. swANsON's BILL TO REPEAL THE
TAN ON STATE BANK NOTES.

The bill which MIR. Swanson has intro
duced into Congress to repeal the 10 per
cent. tax on the issues of state banks
provides that no State bank shall issue
its notes In excess of Is per cent. Of its
paid-up and unimpaired capital stock;
that the holders Of its circulating notes
shall have a first lien upon all the as
sets OF the bank TO secure their payment;
that each stakeholder shall be personally
liable for the payment of all the out
standing notes of the bank TO an amour
equal TO the par value OF the shares
held by him. together with any amount
not paid up on such shares; and that
the notes issued by such bank shall be
redeemed upon presentation and demand
at the counter of the bank in money
made legal tender by the laws of the
United States.
This is just the bill which The Times
would rave drawn and presented, and
we should ask nothing further. after the
tarif bill il passed. than the enactment
Of just this bin without the addition of
n word.
Discussing these identical provisions IN
the bill which Mr.. Warner has offered.
the New York Journal of Commerce says:
This is security doubly secure; as, in
most cases. the guarantee would be equiv
alsnt TO more than thrice the amount
of the outstanding circulation. a eta

severe in the history OF our banking

Under the Warner bill these hanks
would have been able TO issue an aggre-
gate OF Ss.S59.o00 OF circulation, or Is per
cent. of Nl.lf5.0o. Under the same law
the resources available for redeeming
those notes would be as follows:

Thus the resources for protecting the

times the amount Of notes 70 be redeem
cd. The duplicate liability Of the stock
holders would more than cover the re-
dempuon requirements; while the real
tzahle assets would be about two and a
half times the amount OF the circulation.
The Warner bin thus affords a ratio OF
guarantee 10 note liabilities more than
double the rate provided under the ma
tional bank act, and about threefold that

the Kind OF note which Il Is proposed TO

THE CHARTER FILED.

The Purposes Of the Young Mems Christian
Association as Set Forth Therein.
The Young Mems Christian Associ,
alton yesterday filed it's charter with
the secretary of state. The associa'
ton is formed for the purpose of the
Improvement of the spiritual, mental,
social and physical condition of the
young men OF the city of Austin by
the support and maintenance OF lee
lures, sermons, libraries, reading
looms, gymnasiums, social meetings
and such other means and services AS
may conduce TO the accomplishment
of this purpose. The directors for the
first year are Ira II Evans, h. j. Hill,
Jno H. Robinson, Jr., Root Gribble,
M. c. Miller, j. E. Wilbahn, II. r.
Bruck, r. M. Castleman, Sylvester
Primer, E. L. Moore aud Jno. G.
rownes.
The members of the association shall
consist OF two classes, namely, Active
and Associate. Active members shall
be entitled to all the benefits and
privileges of the association, including
the right 10 vote and hold office. AS
sociate members shall be entitled TO
the same benefits and privileges as
active members, except they shall
neither vote nor hold office.

Candidate for County Judge.

Elsewhere in today's issue will be
found the card of Judge Won Rosen-
berg announcing himself as a candi
date for reelection to the position OF
county Judge. Judge Won Rosenberg
enters upon this race with the best
possible recommendation to the vot'
ers of Travis county. The recommen'
dations in question lie in the
fact that in his position as
judge of Travis county he has
ever performed the duties of that office
with honor to himself, credit to the
county and an unbiased judgment
that has made him hosts of friends on
all sides.
Being thoroughly acquainted with
the duties of the office, being fully
competent to enact the requirements
of the same, and, above all, taking q
deep interest in the duties attendant
upon the position, aptIy fits him to
serve the county in such capacity.
If reelected to his old office of judge
the interests of the county will be as
carefully looked after as though they
we're his own, and his past record in
every respect substantiate this asser.
ton.

LINCOLN'S SPEECH.
The Delivery of the Immortal Address
Gattvahurp.

The Delivery of the Immortal Address at
Gettysburg.
At about eleven o'clock the presiden-
tial party reached the platform. Mr..
Everett, the orator of the day, arrived
fully half an hour later, and there was
still further waiting before the mill
tary bodies and civic spectators could
be properly ranged and stationed. 1t
was therefore fully noon before Mr..
Everett began his address, after which,
for two hours, he held the assembled
multitude in rapt attention with his
eloquent description and argument, his
polished diction, his carefully studied
and practised delivery.
When he had concluded, and the
band had performed the usual musical
interlude, President Lincoln rose to fill
the part assigned him in the pro-
gramtne. 1t was entirely natural for
every one to expect that this would
consist of few perfunctory words, the
mere formality of official dedication.
There is every proba bility that the as
semblage regarded Mr. Everett as the
mouthpiece, the organ of the express
sion of the thought and feeling of the
hour, and took it for granted that Mr..
Lincoln was there as mere official
figure head, the eliminating decora-
ton, so to speak, of the deliberately
planned pageant of the day. They
were therefore totally unprepared for
what they heard, and could not imme-
diately realize that his words, and not
those of the carefully selected orator,
were to carry the concentrated thought
of the occasion like trumpet-peal to
farthest posterity.
The newspaper records indicate that
when Mr.. Lincoln began to speak, he
held in his hand the manuscript first
draft of his address which he had fin
ished only short time before. But it
is the distinct recollection of the writ
err, who sat within few feet of him,
that he did not read from the written
pages, though that impression was
naturally left upon many Of his audi
tors. That it was not a mere mechan-
ical reading is, however more definite
ly confirmed by the circumstance that
Mr. Lincoln did not deliver the address
in the exact form in which his first
draft is written. 1t was taken down in
shorthand by the reporter for the As
ISOLATED press, telegraphed to the prin-
cipal cities and printed on the follow
ing morning in the leading newspapers.

THE DENVER WAR ENDED
ANARCHIST WAITE FORCED TO
SUBMIT TO THE COURTS.
It Was a Bitter Pill for the Wild-Eyed
Governor to Swallow, But it Doubt
less Saved His Life.

DENVER, Colo, March 16-The war
is over. At least it is announced by
Attorney s. N. Stevens, who has been
in consultation with the governor a
large part of the afternoon, that his
excellency has accepted the advice of
his attorneys and consented to submit
the fire and police board question to
the supreme court on its merits. The
governor says he is still considering
the matter, bat it is generally believed
Mr.. Stevens speaks by the book.
So the Colorado National Guard,
which was ordered to be ready to take
the field on short notice, will not be
called into action. The state troops at
Durango, Boulder, Colorado Springs,
Grand Junction and other centres have
been uniformed and under arms all
day, ready TO take special trains to
Denver, aud the state troops in this
CITY have been on call. Exciting re.
ports have been flying all over the
state.
Many people regard the governors
military demonstration as a big bluff
to show his contempt for Judge Ora.

trouble. The meeting today was
secret. Afterwards it was announced
the action taken was favorable to
a settlement of the difficulty to

ter is not settled the Louisville and
