NEW ENGLAND BANK CURRENCY.
The Reform Club has just issued New En-.
gland Bank Currency-Current redemption
Developments" as Nc, 10 of it's "sound Cur
rency" series AS its name implies, iti O con
dsnsed but exhaustive revie w ofA he or perience
Of the New England Colonies and States In
bank-note currency, from the earliest times
until the establish N ent Of the National Bank
system.
This summary ia not merely valuable from
the great variety and wide range of expert
snce coveredi but specially so for Its full ac-
count Of the natural development under busi-
ness exigencies OF the volunteer system OF
bank-note redemption, which not merely
made New England pre-eminent, but gave
her bankers an advantage over those of the
I rest Of the states.
Not merely is the Suffolk Bank system
fully treated. but there are also noted the cir
cumstanoes which led TO its adoption, and the
rival plan, copying its methods. which was
put into operation just before the war.
In a sense the pamphlet may be said TO be n
history Of bank note development. After all
allowance is made, the showing is a most
creditable one for the New England States
and especially for the banks of Boston, to
whose enterprise and tact the suffolk Ra9k
system owed its origin.
Copies may be procured by sending 10 cents

THE WOOL MARKET

THE WOOL MAKkET
The American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter says OF the wool trade:
The sales OF wool during the past week
I'm all markets have been rather lighter
than the few weeks Immediately preccd-
ing, undoubtedly due to- the intervening
national holiday, and also TO a notab BILE
scarccncss OF desirable wool, the amount
on hand being somewhat under that usu-
ally i'm sight at this time Of year. The
tone OF the markets, however, Is steady,
with a tendency toward further advance.

BREAK OUT.
Johns Hopkins University on
Fire.
Flames Make Great Headway in
the Building.
FIRE IN LABORATORY.
Destroys That Part of the Col
lege Building.
Fire May Be Stayed Without
Further Damage.

BALTIMORE, Aug 19.-At $3.50 P. m.
the fire department responded to an
alarm at Johns Hopkins university. 1t
is said that the labratory is on fire. A
second alarm is thought to be necessary.
As yet the meagre details do not indicate
an extensive fire.
Dense volumes of smoke are pouring
from the upper story of the university in
the labratory. The firemen have several
ladders up to the building and the pros
pect at $3.50 is that the fire will be got
under control. The labratory and part of
the building is likely TO be destroyed.
A crowd of thousands gathered in the
streets about the university and watched
the progress of the fire. The
tiremen have succeeded thus far
in keeping the flames confined
to the interior of the building. The uni
versity authorities say the laboratory
will probably be a total loss and the
building will be badly damaged.

written letter to W. II. Hornaday here,

have been bamboozled by the gold pOwe-
The letter is as follows:
GIRARD, Kas., Aug. 19.
Capt w. Fl. HOrnadsy, Topeka, Kas:
SIR-I write to thank you personally
for the very able address issued by your
committee to the Republican voters of
the state. But l regret exceedingly that
it has thus far received no wider circula-
tion. In fact, it occurs to me that it has
been practically ignored by our local
press l hope you may be able to have
them printed in pamphlet form for gea-
eral distribution.
"Why is it, would like to ask that so
many men whom we have trusted and
looked upon for leadership at present
seem to be in league with the powers of
darkness on this question, affecting as it
does not only our present condition but
that of our posterity. l have in mind a
certain congressman who was compelled
while making his canvass last fall to de-
clare in favor of free coinage, whom
understand recently made a goldbug
speech at a soldiers reunion. So it is
you see the old soldiers, many of whom
are aged. and have not the time or abili-
| ty to study financial questions are to be
| hoodooed on account of their fidelity
and patriotism to the grand
old party; aud that too by one whom
| they have trusted I am an old soldier
myself but I have always observed that
when the John Sherman crowd wish 10
steal another march on our constitutional
rights, they begin to suggest more liberal
pensions, and beat their breasts while
they talk of the patriotism of old soldiers
In fact they have worked US for lot OF
gullible asses and l don't know as they
have missed it very much either.
Newspapers are worked, congressme
are worked, and they in turn are ex
pected to work Us. What are we coming
to? Was the patriotism of '76 and 81
real or imaginary? A S. JOHNSON.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1895-08-19

We reaffirm the principles as set forth
in the last Republican national conven-
ton. and are in favor Of such arrange
ment or Encouragement of the financial
question as shall be decided by our next
national convention to be for the best in
terests of the country at large.
We look with pride upon the present
state administration, setting forth as It
does every principle of straightforward,
honest government.
This was voted down by practically
unanimous vote. In Crawford as in other
counties the friends of the state admin
istration have arrayed themselves on the
gold bug side of the money question,
and notwithstanding the fact that M. c.
Kelly. state coal oil inspector aud j. D.
Barker, member of the state board of
charities, who live in that county were
present to see that sound money" and
the state administration were endorsed,
they were sat upon very hard.
