ILLINOIS BANKERS

Declare for the Enlarged Use of Silver Un-
 der Proper Conditions.
 Rock Island, H., June 6.-The Bank ers' association of Illinois concluded it's convention today. Expressions were made on the financial question by the adoption of the following resolutions;
 Resolved. That we, the bankers in con- vention assembled, do hereby pledge our selves to the support of every proper effort put forth for the enlarged use of silver; that we favor the use of gold and silver for monetary purposes under such regulations as shall maintain the same with d parity so that every dollar, whether gold, silver or paper. shall be at all times equal in purchasing or debt paying power. With those ends in view we declare ourselves unalterably opposed under present conditions to the free and unlimited coinage of full legal tender silver upon the ratio of 16 to l, in the absence of an internati tional agreement, believing that such course should re- suit in silver monometallism and bring upon the country, through the dual afl1c- tion of a degraded standard and the contracted volume of circulation panic more disastrous than any this country has experienced In view of the losses that would thus be inflicted upon all classes and especially upon wage-earn- CTS pensioners and savings banks de- positors we are warranted in character izing such a policy as inimical to the interests of the entire people and tanta- mount to the confiscation of the proper ty of the country's producers and de- fenders-a constituency whose interests should be most jealously guarded by the lawmakers of the republics.

 vention.
 Chicago. June 6.-The delegation of Cook county democrats who went to Springfield to attend the monetary con yention or as interested spectators re- turned this morning and admitted that wholesale thefts had been committed at the capital, the victims in most cases being prominent republicans who attend ed the convention. Three local politi- clans, two democrats and one republl- can, are suspected of being the leaders of the gang. An afternoon paper says that seven pickpockets who were taken from Chicago to do the grating" were arrested at the capital last night before the Cook county delegates left for home, and that the Chicago politicians for whom they worked remained behind to see them out of their trouble.

The opening and locking of the

Major Quinn, the United States
Engineer in charge, has conclud-

funds he has on hand, and has let
out the contracts, and has contrac-

locks. 1 understand it is his in

til he has expended the balance Of
the appropriation remaining in
his hands, which will not be any
thing like enough to complete the
locks, but it is a beginning, and
will at least strengthen our
claims on Congress for the furth-
er appropriations for the amounts
necessary for its completion. The
Government seldom undertakes
works of this character without
completing them.
The people of the Teche and
Vermillion Parishes who will be
most benefited by this work, and
who have been working for it for
years, should congratulate them
selves on the Inauguration of this
work. Our fellow-citizens of Pla-
auemine have made arrangements
to have grand celebration of that
event on the 9th; and have sent
invitations to our people to join
them in that celebration. AS oul

His PASTORAL Charge.

ANsoNIA, Conn, Sept. 4.-There is n de-

city over the advanced" position assumed
by Rev. Henry h. Davies, of the Derby
Congregational church, in reference to
Sabbath observation. The recent opening

attractions caused crusade led by all
Catholic and Protestant pastors except Mr..
Davies, who defled his colleagues, claiming
that the days of ''blue law" Sundays were
past, and the people should now realize
this fact and conduct themselves accord
ingly. He said emphatically that the
laboring classes should have amusement
on Sundays, and that all who thought
otherwise were hypocrites
These statements were emphasized by
the formation of baseball club by the
minister from among the attendants at his
church, and with them he played at the
park. The church at once took up the
matter. A division resulted. and at pres

doubt the size of the county aud press of
public business in the courts is responsible for
considerable of the delay, and we believe it
was a mistake to refuse the people of the
lower end of that county a seperate county
organization which would have enabled the
judicial branch of government to deal more
promptly with malefactors. Promptness in
bringing to trial those who violate the law
would have a restraining effect upon others,
as the punishment would be meted out while
the remembrance of the crime was still fresh
in the public mind.
This is a blot upon the fair fame Of old
Luzcmc, which calls for prompt and decisive
action, as it appears to be degenertng to a
low stage of civilization which reflects not
only upon those whose duty it is to admins
ter the law, but upon the whole community
It is such a state of affairs as this that has
caused the people to rise in their might, and
in disregard of all law, take matters in their
own hands and wreall summary vengeance, a
state of affairs which we hope never to see in
