check by another number obtained at the first guichet and then received his money, not in the currency or form which he wished for but in such shape as the DOT ter had at hand to dispense from the au- thority above him. Then some of the notes being only locally negotiable, my friend had to go to a third guichet to see if they could be changed into negotiable notes. On occasions this Is impossible, and the unfortunate holder of the check has either to leave part of the money he has come for until favorable opportu- nity or accept what he can get on the chance of paying 1t away or getting 1t changed, or both, with some of his trades people. Beyond this there is no clearing house system; each bank makes chargei for cashing a check on another bank, and these charges practically swallow up the tiny amount of interst nominally al- lowed on a constant balance. And this Is how the daily routine of banking is conducted in the first bank of Marseilles.

 Harpers Weekly says: Whoever ab- hors bossism must not be afraid of inde- pendence." This is a wise admonition. The political boss has no respect for po- litical independence. He believes in the free and remorseless use of the party whip. He maintains his power by hay ing men vote with the party, right or wrong, and having them vote for the can didate labeled by the party managers, without regard for the personal fitness of those candidates. The policy of political bossism is to condemn independence of action in elections on all occasions. Whoever opposes bossism must some times become independent of the party dictation, for, without the exercise at times of political independence upon the part of many members of a party, the bosses will perpetuate their control.- Nashville Banner, Dem
 According to the Atlanta Journal, Ed ward Atkinson, who Is visiting the expo sition the~e, told the directors the other day that the peanut, indigenous to the south, would some time in the future be- come as great a staple as cotton seed i; that the oil of the peanut had been of great commercial value in the oriental nations, and would be in the United States. He reviewed the difficulties at tending the introduction of cotton seed oil at a stple of food, and illustrated it by the following: When cotton seed oil was under the ban of popular prejudice and the law as well, a Chicago lard maker shipped some lard 'adulterated' with cotton seed oil to Europe. It was pronounced excellent lard. It was liked so well that he received great order for 0,000 tierces. But at this juncture he could get no oil and was forced to ship the pure lard. The consignee pronounced 1t off sample' wouldn't have it, and the unfortunate Chicago man lost a large sum of money"

Russia Gets the Privilege of Anchorage at
 Port Arthur.
 London Oct. 24-The Times tomorrow will publish dispatch from its Hong Kong correspondent, who says that he learns from thoroughly trustworthy au- thority that treaty was recently con- cluded by China and Russia by the pro- visions of which Russia obtains the right of anchorage for her fleet at Port Arthur; the right to construct and work under Russian management the Noitchinsk and Tsitsihiar Vladisostock and Tsitsihiar and Port Arthur railways, and other commercial advantages to which the most favored clause in other treaties is not applicable. China, however, reserves the right to purchase the railways after twenty years at a price to be settled upon hereafter.
 The Times remarks Gditorial1y upon the startling character of the dispatch and says it expects an official denial will be made, but hints that such denial may be ignored. Russia it adds, cannot pos- sibly ina zine that the other great powers will view with indifference an enterprise which would constitute the destruction of the existing balance of power and which Is almost unparalleled in its au- daciousness. Russia is well aware that the magnitude of the changes In the movement now reported are such that she could not carry them out unless she had definitely resolved to abandon the pacific policy of the last reign and plunge into vast and dangerous activities.

BOLTING DEMOCRATS g
Have Ratification Meeting With Mir. fairchild as the Principal Speaker-1he fu-
 sion Ticket lndorsed

New York, Oct. 24.-The first big rati- fication meeting of the New York state democracy during the present campaign was held tonight in the hall of Cooper Union. The meeting was held to indorse the fusion ticket. The hall was we'll fill ed and the greatest enthusiasm was dis played. Albert Stickney, who acted as chairman, in a brief speech, said that the state democracy had been obliged to join hands with their friends, the enemy, in this campaign, to bring about the overthrow Of Tammany Hall. He en- treated the members of state democracy to oppose all machine politics.
 Resolutions were taken and adopted in dorsing the administration of President Cleveland; the nominations of state off1- cers by the Syracuse democratic conven- tion and the candidates on the ticket nominated by the New York state de- mocracy at its county convention. on the excise question, the resolution de- clared that the state democracy will en- deavor to secure such modincations or existing laws as will enable this city to determine for itself by popular vote whether the sale of beverages, food and other necessaries shall be permitted on Sunday during such hours and under such restrictions as will not inter1ere with religious observance and exercise. Charles S. Fairchild was then intro
  an eloquent address and spoke in part as follows:
 We have double duty to perform to- night as democrats to indorse the state ticket and as citizens to indorse the local fusion ticket. We can heartily support the democratic state ticket. for the can didates named on it are good democrats
 and good men, and If elected will be faith ful public servants. Its success will show the country that with good candidate standing upon platform soundiy demo- cratic both as to the tariff and the cur rency, democracy can again elect the president. Once more we are arrayed upon our platform of on-partisanship in local matters and business admins tration of a corporation conducted on strictly business methods and above all | we are standing shoulder to shoulder | with good men of all parties to maintain the freedom of equal rights under the | law oS each and all of us. Should we not | succeed this year the downward course | will have only begun, as believe and l in 1S97 with the complete return of Tam many to power the people of this city | will cover under far worse oppression and wrong than they did before this rev | olution of last year.
 A letter was then read from Ex-Mayor | William R. Grace indorsing the fusion | ticket and its platform.
 The other speakers were Charles J. | Patterson of Brooklyn and James B. | Verne of this city. After the reading of l letters of regret for absence from mem | bers of the party the meeting adjourned.

Senator Butler's Proposition.

Raleigh. N. C., Oct 24.--Senator Ma rion Butler in an interview here today said regarding the organization of the senate that he favors the coming together of the silver men and taking charge of every senate committee, and that the ad herents 10 a gold standard can only con- trol the senate by the aid of the men who profess silver. Senator Butler says it is of the utmost importance for silver men to organize the senate and thus con- trol committees. for unless this is done no silver bill will be reported. The sena- tor is impelled to take this view of or ganization and he considers that Senator sherman has made a declaration in favor of the organization of the senate of advo- cates of a single gold standard.

 Honolulu, Oct. IT., via San Francisco. -(Correspondence of the United Press. per Steamship Mariposa Ut is twenty nine days since the cholera epidemic ended, and fifteen days since the last one of three later scattering cases Nearly every restriction caused by the pestilence has been removed by the board of health. A few slight precautions are still con- tinued for a few days longer. Bathing and fishing in the harbor and in Nuanu streams are still prohibited as some doubts are felt whether any germs may not finger there. While the seamen of the coasters are again allowed the free dom of the shore in Honolulu they are not to go inland at the outer ports, in difference to the fears of residents there. Second-class passengers who have their clothing fumigated, there being possi- bility of infection in native clothing. Scholars are now free to attend the schools.
 The council has appropriated S25,000 more for the expenses of pestilence, mak- ing $60. .0O0 in all This will cover the cost of fumigating plant yet to arrive This, with the cost of the insurrection makes necessary s20O,000 extra expense this year, and somewhat cramps the public finances.

They claim $50,000 damages. The United States cruiser Olympia lies in the outer roads. The United States gun boat Bennington lies near the Olympia. All are well on board both ships.
 Much excitement prevails among the Japanese of Honolulu about the expected arrival of a Japanese cruiser bringing a new consul-general. These Japanese have held a public meeting to denounce the Hawaiian government for having prevented the steamship China, as they allege, from bringing a mail from Yoko- hama in order to discourage Japanese trade here, which is absurd.
