BANK EXANINATIONs.

We are always sorry TO hear OF mis-
fortune anywhere. but where a misfor-
tune overtakes a bank, as between ma
tional and State banks. wG always prefer
that Il should overtake a national banK.
Not that we are against national bdnl $,
but against the oppressive and unconsti-
tutional laws under which they operate
Those people who believe in the socialls-
tic and paternai idea Of Governmental
Government that is to look after its cit
liens as a parent looks after his minor
childreu-thinll there is a great virtue in
the provision Of the national bank act
that provides examiners to peer into the
the affairs of the national banks, and de-
tect all the shortcomings that dishonest
officials would find themselves disposed
to, but for the scrutinizing eye OF Gov
eminent kept fixed upon them in the per-
sen Of the bank examiners. Sensible men
who are acct stoned TO deal with the
realities of life know that the bank eX-
aminers amount 10 no more as a check
upon Rank officials that are inclined 10
dishonesty than a fly amounts to on the
back of an elephant The bank examiners
are politicians appointed TO their
places upon the 'ecomTendation OF
politicians who are far more concerned
in securing the services of an active
heeer when the next nomination for
Congress is to be made than. in securing
the services Of an expert in bookkeeping
to make real examinations of the banks.
The consequence is that the supposed
bank exam .ations are about the most
farcical IN IS that ever take place. The
disclosure that has just been made or the
defalcation of Teller Hammer, at Lynch
burg, is another illustration Of our sub
iect to be added TO the many that the.
past thirty years have offered. His inn
proper appropriation of funds has been
going Oh for years, but the bank examin-
ers have been as innocent Of them as
babes And so il will ever go on. There
IS but one security for good banks, and
that is the character of their officers.

PUT IN PLAIN ENGLISH.
An Authority on the Weather Contributes
tn the General Fund of knowledge.

The most famous American authority
on the weather recently said: The fatal
ity tafter the grip is most marked when
the humidity is at its maximum and
there is a sudden fall of temperature.
That means In plain English that conse-
quences OF grip are most deadly when
dampness is followed by sudden cold.
How often such condition OF weather
has prevailed this winter is shown py
the official statistics of grip.
Prudent people know how TO strengthen,
themselves after the grip. They VIII

De-srt"d Her In London.
TRENTON, y. j.. Feb. 25--Mrs. !. Cole
man Draytoa this morning began a cross
suit for divorce against her husband. on
the ground Of desertion. The petition.
which was filed In the office of the clerk

sci, is a document Of two pages Of type

ried in 1879 in New York, and that they
continued TO reside there until 1856, dur
ing which time they moved TO Demands
Township. IN Somerset county. y. j.;
that upon their arrival there the hus-
band bought a tract of land upon which
he erectned a residence for himself and
family; that in 1898 the husband sold the
said property and changed his residence

tinued 20 reside. and which is the legal
residence OF the petitioner.
The petition goes on TO say: And your
petitioner further shows that the said
husband lived with her from the date
OF their marriage until January. 1892.
when, while temporarily sojourning In
London. he deserted the petitioner and
returned TO America, being moved there
TO. as this petitioner believes, by cruel
and unjust suspicion as 10 her marital
fidelity; and your petitioner further shows
that ever since January. 1892, her hus-
band has wifully. continuously, obsti-
nately and without just cause deserted
her.
The petition closes with the usual
prayer for divorce. or such other relief
as may seem equitable and just.

A BRIEF sketch of the lives of many

A BRIEF sketch of the lives Of many
of the notable personages present at
the immigration Convention recently
assembled in st. Paul, would be the
best possible advertisement Of the op-
portunities which the Northwest offers
to those who seek homes in this
favored region. Among those present
were men who have risen from the
ranks of labor to the highest offices
which the suffrage of the people could
give them. a millionaire, and hundreds
of others in atfiuent circumstances
who have made for themselves po-
sition in the financial world with no
other capital in life than good sense,
pluck, energy and tireless industry,
were present at the convention, and the
lives of these men show what grand
possibilities for advancementth the North
west offers to the industrious immi-
grant.

of kindred ties. to make home in a
wilderness trodden only by the feet of
savage Indians and wild animals. HIS
tory tells us that nearly half of
their number persisted during the first
winter. but with unbounded faith in
the God whom they worshipped, and
with heroism never excelled on the
field of battle, those who were spared
would not return to England when they
had the opportunity. If we would study
the lives of those sturdy Pilgrims, their
steadfastness of purpose, their willing
ness to encounter dangers and to suffer
hardships and privatiOns for the sake
of principle, perhaps it would help us
to properly estimate and appreciate the
blessings we now have. Today we live
in free country where even convict
can worship God according to the die
tates of his conscience, and if we are de-
prived of personal liberty the fault lies
with us, and not with the laws of the
land. That we are convicts paying the
penalty of outraged laws is not cause
for thanksgiving, but the opportunities
that are given us to redeem ourselves,
to work out our salvation when the
prison doors open to us, is surely some
thing we should feel thankful for, not
only on this day, but every day of our
lives
