ANOTHER PANIC ON THE
TAPIS.

Premonitory rumblings of an.
other financial panic are already
audible in the distance, four Banks
the American National, Union Ma
tional, Mutual National and Bank
of Commerce having failed and
closed their doors within two
weeks in the city of New Orleans.
There is now a feeling of distrnst
and a want of confidence through
out the entire country, produced
by the constant agitation OF the IT,
uaucial question, which hasa tend
ency to cause eapital-always tim,
id-to be Withdrawn from circula
ton and only the strongest and
most solvent banking institutions
will be enabled to weather the
storm which is now brewing.
The same causes which combined
to force suspensions of these
Banks, will operate suspensions all
over the country and the conse.
quent collapse of industrial and
manufacturing enterprises, de-
pendent upon them for the money
to carry on their operations. 1t is
true that the suspension of one OF
these Banks-the American Ma
tional-is attributed to the criminal
conversion to their own use of its
funds by its chosen aud trusted of
ticals, but no such charge has been
assigned for the failure of the
others.
The prosperity of any country
must and will flee from it, when
subjected to the same agitatlHg
and disturbing conditions, as our
own has been for the past four
years. We never posed in the
role of an alarmist, neither are we
IA prophet, nor the son of a
prophet, but we coDscientiously
believe that the United States will
be conyulsed, before the final 50
luton of the problem which now
distracts the minds of the people,
with one of the most destructive
financial earthquakes, with which
any country was ever visited.
Since the above was put in type
further investigation has caused
the arrest OF Frank B. Leefe and
Louis Colomb, bookkeepers of tho
Uuion National Bank, suspicion
pointing to them as having alb
stracted 100000 of the Banks
funds. We must confess that we
are unable to conceive by what
process, bookkeepers, who only
enter the accounts of the Bank
and never under any combination
of circumstances, handle its funds
could have been in position t.
; have distracted snch a large
amount from its vaults, but TIT
subsequent suicide of Colomb b,
the morphine route, seems to fur
uisb to some extent a basis for th'
ar. ests. However that may he, i
does not detract in any essentia
degree from the force Of the pro
phecy that our country is Oh tn
verge of a disastrous financial re
volution.

Next Thureday We come again as a ma
ton to our feast OF Thanksgiving and
with grateful hearts will We make pub
lie acknowledgement to our Heavenly
Father who has 80 guarded us through
out the year with his love and care. AS
a people we have been dealt with very
graclously. There has been DO sound
OF war within our borders. We have
had no pestilence, nor any unusual
draught, nor failure u crops, and we
certainly have cause TO give most hearty
thanks for all these material blessings.
We want, however to take our place
among the brotherhood of nations as a
people, great not merely in material
things, but great in all those qualities
that make noble manhood and woman
hood, honor, truth, integrity and virtue.
1t is not gold and silver but men, noble
and true, that make a nation great and
strong, and surely We have many men
both good and great, and for these let
US thank God and take courage for the
future.
Let US never be weary in we'll doing.
but go on praying and working more
hopefully than ever, thanking God that
he has given us the privilege OF having
even a humble part in the work Of ex-
tending the reign OF righteousness in at
least a small portion OF the world. =,
~
AS our annual Thanksgiving day APP
proaches and we recall the many causes
for gratitude that have blessed our lives,
we are often sad at thought Of the sor.
row that has come to some homes dur
ing the past months, still there lie usu-
ally at least a few causes for thanksgiv
ing even>on the part Of the most sorely
afflicted.
Though the temperance people have
cause to regret the result Of the late
election in reference to the prohibitory
clause in our state constitution, still
there is reason for rejoicing because the
prohibitory law still remains, and ever
greater cause for thanksgiving that it
has been so we'll enforced in our own
city the past year and also that the new
ly elected officers have expressed their
determination to enforce the prohibitory
law.
The friends Of temperance 10 this city
are glad hat Madison gave 30 large a
majority in favor of the law, and while
chagrined that our county did not also
put.itself on record as N opponent OF
the saloon, we are thankful that Lake
county gave a majority Of only five for
the saloon, and that the entire majority
throughout the state was 80 small.
Had the ministers all over the state
worked as valiautly against the saloon
as have the pastors of several OF the
churches of Madison, there is little
doubt that the prohibitory clause would
still remain in the constitution, as would
also in all probability have been the
case had every daily and weekly news
paper throughout the state boldly sdvo-
Gated the real preference OF its editor in
regard to repeal. 1t is, however, cause
for thanksgiving that SO few Of the pa
pers we're willing to espouse the liquor
interests, many Of them refusing to do
so at the risk OF financial loss.
