A stmte-Bnnk system.

The Massachusetts Democrats were
only n little ahead OF the times. when
in state Convention assembled they de-
clared few days ago for total divorce OF
the government from the business oil BANK
Ing. The influences which can be brought
to bear In favor Of a nationaI-bank sys-
tenn are many. In FAINT. the influences
which can be brought TO bear In FAVOR
OF the present system OF national banking
are not only many. but powerful AS we
have said heretofore, there can De 10
doubt that theoretically the Natlohai
Government ought to he totally diVorceu
from the business Of banking. Inc gov
ernlng OF nation is one thing. Ihe
breiness OF banking Is totally dinerent
thing. Eut the people OF this country
have become 20 familiar with national
banks and national currency OF
Treasury notes, that many OF them re-
gard the opposition to these things as
urcaI,ed-for and unJustifiable

gross with tho power 10 borrow money

But whatever theory we may have on
the subiact. we cannot deny that soon

The New York Journal OF Commerce,
one Of the most influential papers In
the country. e. in favor Of divorcine the
Government from the business OF bank
ing. 1t says that the Massachusetts
Democrats have declared themselves on
the currency with great frankness, and
we add. not only great frankness
but Great force.
What. then, are the Bay State Demo
Gratis in favor Of? We quote our New
York contemporary az follows:
'rhey are in favor of maintaining the
existing gold-standard, are opposed to
free coinage Of silver or the coinage OF
silver on government account. ana de-
mand an adequate REVISION Oh oui Jam"
ing legislation. ana the divorce oil 'he'
government from banking
Here are no uncertain utterances Inc
Massachusetts Democrats declare that
the existing standard a values Is the
gold standard. But they also demand an
ADEQUATE revision of our banking laws
which is as much as to say that the
present banking laws are inadequate 10
the end for which they were created.
Finally. they include all their demands
in call for the divorce of the govern
ment from banking. These metropolitan
outgivings foreshadow. we repeat, the
utterances Of the next Democratic Ma
tionaI Convention on the banking sys-
TENS Of this country.

Speaking of the damage to the Ken

Sneaking OF the damage TO the Ken
tuckv tobacco crop by the recent frosts,
the Louisville Courier-Journal says that
al the beginning Of the week 1t was
no, regarded as serious, but as fuller
aGvices have been received the estimates
have been increased from day TO day.
Th. lowest estimate made by any Louis
vile warehouseman is that the loss Is
AT least 5000 hogsheads, and there are
many cautious men in the trade who Put II
as high as 40.OQ The majority of the con-
servatiye element have settled upon 10
ner cent. Of the entire crop or 5000 hogs
heads Estimates differ as 10 the pro-
portion of dark and Burley, and there
has been no scientific attempt at the col
lection Of data.
The Courier-Journal further saws:
"The buyers. Of course. are not will
ling 10 acknowledge that the figures can
no go large. one who has given the
matter close attention, but has made no

He saws also that had II not Dech

time what the telegram meant She
could not believe the worst. In a few
minutes she received another telegram
which raised her hope. 1t was from
Miss Eleanor Wilson, the elder daugh-
ter, and said:
"Papa is very i'll. We will start home
at once"
Mrs. Wilson clung to the belief that
the telegram proved that Mr.. Wilson was
not seriously sick or he would not be
able to start home. It was just after the
second telegram was received that Judge
johnson and Mr.. King called Judge
johnson had been requested by General
Manager Frey to break the news
to the family, but he found
Mrs Wilson with the telegram, and he
did not have the heart 10 tell her what
he had Intended to. He went away and
made a second investigation, and re-
turned to tell the sad truth.
The telegram from the daughter was
evidently sent to prepare the family for
the news of MIR. Wilson's death. and
Mr.. Gleed's telegram was sent with the
impression that the family had already
been informed of the death.
Receiver Wilson left Topeka last Fri
day, He was accompanied by his two
daughters, Eleanor and Mabel Miss
Eleanor Wilson intended to enter Vassar
college, and Miss Mabel went for a
pleasure trip. Mr.. Wilson went to Chi
cago and was present at the ceremony
in which George r. Peck was presented
with a silver service by the Santa Fe
officials. From Chicago he went to New
York with his daughters for the purpose
of attending to business in connection
with the Santa Fe receivership.
When Mr. Wilson left Topeka he ap-
peared to be in the best of health. The
members of the Topeka club, where he
spent all his spare moments, say that
he has been unusually jovial recently,
and the evening before he left he spent
at the club playing cards with E. J. Dali
las and D. A. Clements He has boen
subject to nervous spells, but they have
been less frequent recently, and he ap-
peared to be in excellent physical con-
dition.
The Topeka club is a gloomy place
this afternoon, for Mr. Wilson was one of
its most honored members. When the
news of his death was received at the
club at 80 there were very few of the
members there, but they kept dropping
in all afternoon to verify the information
they had received Then they stopped
for little while to discuss Mr.. Wilson's
many good qualities and went sadly away.
Mr.. Wilson always lived at the club
when his family was away.
The family have made no arrange
ments for the funeral but the body will
probably be laid to rest in the Topeka
cemetery.
While Mr.. Wilson was not known as
a wealthy man, he was considered we'll
off. He owns six acres of ground on
West Sixth street, just outside the city
limits, whore he formerly lived, and a
farm near the city. He also owned the
where his family now reside. His
friends say that he did not owe dollar
to any one, and that he had considerable
money.

MR.. WILSON'S AFFAIRS.
What Intimate Friends Say About Him
and His Family.


A JOURNAL. reporter went immedi-
atelY to the Santa Fe general Office
building on the receipt of the news of
Mr. Wilson's death. A telegram had
Just been received there telling of the
sad occurrence, and stating that the
cause of his death was apoplexy.
Receiver Wilson's private secretary,
Mr.. W. w. Phelps, is in Chicago, and
there was no one about the building who
knew anything about Mr.. Wilson's per-
sonal affairs.
Mr.. George F. sharitt, clerk of the
United States circuit court, and a warm
personal friend of Mr.. Wilson, when
seen by STATE JOURNAL reporter, said
s'This is an awful thing. Joe looked we'll
when last saw him. | considered him
the very picture of health. He had been
ailing early in the summer. but has late
ly been feeling first rate.
'This is an awful shock to me. He
and I were associated together over
twenty years in an intimate business re-
Iation in the United States clerks and
marsha's Office, and there never has
been the least disagreement of any kind
between US. He was just a great big
whole hearted man. He was every body's
friend, and when he did man a favor it
was not with a string tied to it.
had any life insurance or not, but his
farm, four miles west of the city, near
Menoken, is clear, and is as fine farm
as is in the state. He has 240
acres, and eyes never looked on
finer corn field than he has. 1t was only
week ago Sunday that he drove out to
his farm with party of friends to show
them the kind of farmer he was. In
addition he has his home property, an
exceptionally fine piece of property.
"The Adams children have lost their
most valuable friend in Joe Wilson's
death. He was like father to them.
He kept Miss Kate in his office and
then got her a place in Governor Nor
rilrs Office, and he looked after young
Dan and got him place in the pension

years or more ago their father, Dan
Adams, did him favor.

years old now. Her name is
Drusilla Wilson. She is a Quak-

worker, and he thought everything of

HAMILTON BURGLAR.
The Man Who Robbed Jacob REessegr'
House on Trial.

The Man Who Robbed Jacob Messegr's
House Trial.
Anthony Hamilton, colored, was on
trial today in the district court He is
charge with burglarizing Jacob Messen-
gers home north west of town.
Hamilton was discovered at the time
and the men about the place had a
sprinting contest with him. When they
caught up with the fleeing burglar he
drew pistol and requested them to re-
main where they were. They were un-
armed and did so. Hamilton was not
arrested until some time afterward.
Two other cases were easily disposed
of Both prisoners pleaded guilty. Mar
tin Williams is colored man having a
white wife. He lives out at Shorey.
About two months ago he and a neigh
Dor living few feet away woke the
whole country up for blocks around with
midnight brawl. They had been drink
ing and the families on each side joined
in and made things more interesting. A
man living near said afterward that
every time Williams hit his opponent,
who was underneath, it sounded like
hitting the side of a house with board.
Williams was charged with assault
with intent to kill. He pleaded guilty
this morning to assault and battery, and
the county attorney accepted the plea.
! Judge Hazen withheld sentence.
Carl Switzer pleaded guilty to assault
and battery. He was convicted of this 9
month ago in Justice Guys court, but
appealed the case. Switzer is an Au-
burn farmer, who get into fuss with
William Jones over some cattle. Jones
tried to make a sandwich out of Switzer,
and the latter hit him with a rock. Jones
is an old man and the assault was al.
most unprovoked. Judge Hazen has not
yet sentenced Switzer
One other trial was to have come of
| today, but it was passed until tomorrow.
It is that of Everett Wright, charged
with burglary and larceny. 1t is expect
ed that he will plead guilty tomorrow.

JOHN J. INGALLS, HERE.


He talked TO y. SlOneCker and Ate at
Lunch Counter.
John J. ingalls, came to Topeka today
and was here for two or three hours. He
came here to meet few politicians and
did not care to see any enc else. For
that reason he did not register at hotel
but walked up from the depot and ate
his dinner at lunch counter
OF course no one knows why Mr.. In
gals wanted to see certain politicians
but the average Kansan can make
guess which would be dangerously near
the truth.
Mr.. Ingalls, first called at the Office of
Ferry & Doran. He only staid for
moment and inquired the way to the Of
fee of ]. g. Slonecker. He then went
to the Office of Mr.. Slonecker and was
closeted with him for fifteen or twenty
minutes. Mr.. Slonecker refused to say
anything about the object of the visit.
From Mr. Slonecker's Office the tall
statesman went to lunch. counter near
Eighth street where he sat astride high
stool and enjoyed light lunch. At 2
o'clock Mr. Ingalls, left for the south
eastern part of the state to continue his
speech making to the soldiers.
