siIverite Bank President.
WASHINGTON, Feb. ga letter of yes
terday's date from Mr.. William p st.
John of New York, the silyerite president
of the Mercantile National Bank of that
city, was to-day received by Mr.. Springer
of Illinois, chairman Of the committee on
banking and currency, and the congress-
man gave it out, together with his prompt
and brief reply. Mr.. st. John wrote
My Dear Sir: When before your honorable
committee in December commended tho re-
deldption of United States notes IN gold only,
at that time, under the conditions tnen OF ex-
traordinary weakness of the Treasury.
added that "lhe United States was (earlier)
able to redeem greenbacks and Treasury
notes IN silver and laugh at such consequences
as could have eBsued."
Under The profound conviction that the pres
ent condition OF the Treasury reserve and
liberal acculnulations of idle money In New
York and other money centres afford together
a new opportunity to do 40 safely, write to
beg of you to urge the Secretary OF the Treas
ury to exercise the option conferred on him by
law To redeem the United States notes in
standard silver dollars.
The Treasury reserve is now composed of
about Sl05 100000 gold and only about Sl5.O00,-
900 OF free silver If the secretary will instruct
the treasurer and every assistant treasurer OF
the United states TO meet demands for the re-
demption Of United States notes and the
Treasury notes in standard silver dollars only,
and continue the instruction for a reasonable
time, the achievement will he ia all details
and in every respect a happy one, and no more
interest-bearing public debt will need TO be
created. On the other hand, ii the Secretary
of the Treasury shall neglect this opportunity,
the neglect may prove one more Just ground
for fault-fnding with his administration of our
| public finances.

Building up a Town.


The efforts Of any newspaper TO build
up town is practically nulltied unless
it is backed up BY the business men. A
stranger turns from the news columns Of
paper to its advertising pages, and if he
fails to tipl there the business cards III the
merchants and professional firms, he
comes to the conclusion that the publisher
is not appreciated, in which case it is a
good pace for him to keep clear Of no
town ever grew without the active assist
ance Of its newspaper. Nor can papers
grow and build up their localities without
the assistance Of the town. Business men
should realize this and remember ID Wv
ing support to the newspaper they are not
only building up their own business. but
helping to support that which is steadily
working for the benefit NJ the whole com
munity. Press and Printer.

A SHORT
1T is Favored by National Conn
mittee Men of Both Parties


Chicago, Aug. 2O.-Thirty-eight ia
tional committeemen-2O Democratic
and IS Republicans-have responded
to questions asked by the Times
Herald concerning the policy Of hold
ing a short presidential campaign. The
vote is now full enough to clearly in
dictate the probable results of the meet
ings which will shortly be held by the
two national committees OF tine .domi-
nant parties.
Tho Republican national committee
will declare in favor of n short presi-
Dental campaign. The Democratic Ia
tional committee will decide in favor
of Il short presidential campaign un-
less the free silver clement predomi-
mates in the councils of the committee.
The vote, 20 far as it has been re-
ceived and recorded by the Times
Herald, is as follows:
Republican National COMMUNICATION
Il short campaign, IA; against u short
campaign, 3; non-committal, /; total
vote, Is.
Democratic National COMMUNICATION
a short campaign, 10; against a short
campaign, 4; non-comlnittal, +; total
vote, 90
An examination of the vote by states
clearly indicates the considerations
| which influence the opinions Of the
committeeman. The vote by states is
as follows: Republican committeeman
for a short campaign, New York, ILL
nois, Montana, West Virginia, Wiscon-
sin, Wyoming, Maine, Indian Terri
tory, South Carolina, Washington, Ne
braska, Missouri, New Hampshire,
Minpesota; against a short campaign,
Oklahoma, Arkansas, Florida. Gen.
Malone of Virginia declines to cast a
vote ut present. Democratic commit
teemen, for a short campaign, Massa-
chusetts, Ohio, Connecticut, Missouri,
Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina,
Louisiana, Kansas. Utah; against a
short campaign, Colorado, Idaho, Mon
tana, Tennessee, Florida, New Hamp-
shire. The Democratic national COM
mitteemen from New York. Indiana,
and Vermont decline at the present
time to give any expression Of their
views on this subject.
1t is perhaps too early yet to fore
cast the result Of the coming meeting
of the Democratic national committee,
but it is an encouraging sign to note
that not all the states favorable to
free coinage are in favor of a pro-
longed fight, though the trend is clear
ly that way. Missouri, Kansas and
Utah Democratic committeeman are in
favor of a quick fight, in spite of the
fact that the rank and file of their
party in these states seemed favorable
to free coinage. On the Republican
side, Washington, Montana and Wy
oming do not fear a short campaign.
On the whole, the vote seems to fore
cast a decision in favor of u discon-
tinuance of the prolonged campaigns
which have long since outlived their
usefulness.
