The Portland daily press., 1895-08-12

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer THINKS the Whitney
movement is but cover for Mr.. Cleve-
lands design upon a third term. He
says: "The inference that Mr.. Whitney
is being used as stalking hores is al
most positive. That he is be ing moved as
a pawn on the Presidential chessboard is
an idea that appeals to the man of alert
comprehension. There must be ten
months of travelling over rough political
roads before the next national convention
meets. The oficeholders get prematurely
Jealous in the third term idea. They
overwork it, and a rough lock has to be
put on occasionally. Mr. Whitney is used
as brake In spite of his own declara-
tion that he is not a candidate for the
nomination for the P residency, he is
periodically thrown into the arena when
the third-term movement is in danger of
destroying itself. Then, after a playful
and relaxing recess with the accomplished
ex-Secretary, the Cleveland boom is in
sidiously introduced again. Part of the
programme is for the officeholders, play
ing and probably believing that they are
the people, to get indignant at the men,

places as kawasakl. 1t is estimated
that If nine passengers of the lowest
grade and three passengers of each of the
two higher grades be assumed to ride in
each train. and the number of trains per
day be forty, between a. m. and II p. M,
a satisfactory profit will be secured even
at ren-cent fare for the lowest grade.
The capital will be 1000, 600 yen, to be
divided into 40, 600 shares of so ven each.
The yen is the equivalent of the silver
dollar. An electric line from Obaka to
Kioto, via Kobe, is also talked OF. 1t
would accommodate population of fully
100000 people. The Japanese are great
travellers. They make long excursions,
over the country to visit the most sacred
Buddhist temples and Shinto shriness,
and the roads are often thronged with
whole families making the round of their
pilgrimage. The electric lines would pick
up many parties out on these trips of
combined religion and pleasure.

INDIANA.
The Free Silver Craze is Fading From
Sight.

Especial Dispatch to Commercial Gazette. }
Indianapolis, Aug. 6.-The free silver
movement in this State appears to have
been abandoned. Nothing has come of
the movement that was started at Maxim
kuckee at the Editorial Convention. One
meeting has been held by the committee
that was appointed at that meeting, and
when it was adjourned it was announced
that a conference would soon be .lled for
the purpose of forming State oragniza-
tion. Nothing more has been heard on
the subject however, and the advocates
of sound money state thatsthe silver peo-
pie found the sentiment so strong against
them that it was deemed unwise to carry
the agitation further.
| On the side of the free silver people
there is some bitterness at the manner in
which they claim that they have been be-
| trayed. They counted ON Gov. Mat
thews to advocate their theories, the
| speech that he made before the last State
convention placing him thoroughly in
| line with the free silver movement; but
| Gov. Matthews took a trip East, and
| caught the direction that the political
DI0GZ0 was DlOWlilS3 uHo WdS
| that before his return he submitted to an
| interview, in which he took occasion to
administer to the silver movement a
black eye.
Senator Voorhees, also has not seen fit
| to lend the assistance that was promised
| The declarations of Voorhees, were of the
most rabid free silver type when the sill
yer craze was at it's worst but with its
subsidence Voorhees, has also subsidized,
and is now as meek as lamb, aud is
evidently willing to be considered gold
| bug if it is considered likely that his
political future depends upon it. Sena-
tor Turpie is about the only leader OF
prominence who appears disposed to con-
tinue the encouragement of the free sill
yer movement, and even he, it is said,
would like to have someone take the ele.
phant off his hands. The passing of the
silver craze in Indiana has been as sud-
den as the spread of it.

WOMEN AS BANKERS.
Many are Presidents of Financial Institu
tions in the West.

Women WELD greater influence in the
financial operations of the country than
the people generally are aware of. This is
especially the case with banking affairs
Few of the unintiated realize how great
an interest the so-called weaker sex have
in bank capital, and the extent to which
they figure in the management of bank
ing institutions as presidents, directors,
shareholders and employees. The presi-
dents of several banks in the West are
women. and the number of women acting
as directors of financial institutions is
greater than would be imagined The
number holding more subordinate places
of trust and responsibility runs we'll aud
in the hundreds, and is constantly on
the increase. Women are naturally honor
able and trustworthy and they have dis
played unusual shrewdness and discretion
in financial transactions. They are faith
full and conscientious, and are proof
against many of the temptations tn at
have so often proved irresistible to many
of the male sex intrusted with the funds
other people.
Mr.. Eckells controller of the currency,
will devote chapter of his forthcoming
report to Congress to the growing in
terest shown by women in the financial
institutions of the country. He has
| already compiled some interesting statis-
tics on this subject, covering both the
| National and State banks, but they will
not be accessible for several weeks yet.
At the date of his late report the number
of shares of National banks was 1909,
49, representing a total valuation OF
S6SS, 642, 876 OF these 1,733,7 shares,
representing $130, 6S1, 492, were owned by
women. The percentage OF shares is
IA, and of capital 1879. The number o1
individual women holders OF national
bank stock was 70, 697.
! 1t is noted as somewhat singular that
women apparently have greater conf
dence in national banks than in banks
organized under State laws. The tota
shares and capital of the latter class OF
Institutions is e3, 619 S04 and S307, l5l, 7lt
respectively OF this number, 4Sl, 09S
shares, representing s3s, 074, 712 stand in
the names of women. The percentage.
are respectively 13. and 1874, and the in
dividual holders number %, 146
| The women employees in the Nationa
banks of ths country are 3S3, and of the
State banks 5S4. They receive tota
compensation from National banks, $185,
1877, and from State banks, S262, SAT. The
average annual compensation of womer
in the former institutions is $1S5. II, anC
