Allow me to present three standing
editorial themes for two or three GER
tain Twin City daily organs: 1.-THE
silver craze is still declining;;" ''Mr.
Rockefeller is an angel, whom Mime
sofa courts and juries have deeply
wronged:'' "Why does Governor
Clough so pertinaciously give the lie
to our prophecy regarding the kind Of
governor he would make?'
So.
Young Mr.. Eckels, who controls the
government currency in the interest
of the banks which secured his ap-
pointment, has issued another ultima
tum in which he thinks something
must be done to overcome the ''indif-
ference" of national banks in regard
to bank note issues. He would over
come their Indifference" first, by
taking off their ''excessive taxation:''
second, by reducing the amount Of
their deposits for security, SO that
their capital will not be 'needlessly
locked up" third, by cancelling all
greenbacks and treasury notes: fourth.
by repeating 'disagreeable restric.
tions' on bank issues: and finally, by
''relegating all currency issues to the
banks" This is what Mr.. Eckels de-
scribes as the government retiring
from the banking business" It is also
what other people would call ''the
banks going into the government bust
ness"

My friend, Editor Pease of Anoks
wisely states the case, when he say
