CHICAGO, Dec, 22.-Without any az

ed the timid depositors in the savings

a heavy reserve fund OF idle money in
the vaults that President Mitchell has
no misgivings as to the ability OF his

At the Graden City Banking and Trust
Company's bank, the run of yesterday
had rectically run out its length.
The bank officers said they did not ex'
pect any more trouble. at the other
national, private and State banks there
was the ordinary transaction of bust
ness with no more people paying their
respects to the paying teller than to
the receiving teller. In banking cir

Shortly after eleven o'clock crowd
of depositors gathered at the Hibern'

TIE New York World says:

ave are now little better OF than

that instead of passing bill for reve-

the politicians, for party purposes, have
decided upon tariff-ripping extra ses-
sion, the very prospect of which Is 3
paralyzing menace, destructive OF pros
perity."
Instead of being little better off now
than before the election, we are great
deal worse off, for then the people were
cheered by the hope of more money.
They have now: been deprived of that
hone and most Of them are in the slough
of despond. And then, too, everybody
with sense enough to keep out of the
fire. knew that no matter what else
might fail, if Mckinley were elected
one thing would not, and that would
be q bill to raise the tariff so as to full
fill the promises to the protected manu-
facturers of the North who subscribed

A VERY bright woman of this city,
who is already in receipt of Christmas
gifts, says hers, SO far, ''are set of mis-
fits, which should be as notifying to
the givers as they were disappointing to
her." Some of them came by express
and mail, and some, when unpacked,
were found to be broken. If they had
been bought in the stores here they
would possibly have cost few more
cents, but time and trouble, and break
age, at least. would have been saved,
and the money they cost would have
helped to recompense the merchants
for their outlay and been kept at home.

buy what they want with greater salts
faction here than in Washington, and
do so with less expense. Why those
who live here can't do likewise is not
easily understood.

CUBAN AFFAIRS.

The feeling in Spain over the agita.

THE U. S. Senate, in 1887, adopted
resolution recognizing the independ-
ence of Texas, but it only did so, as it de-
clared, when "the State ofTe1as had es'
tablished and maintained an independ-
emit government, capable of performing
those duties, foreign and domestic,
which appertain to Independent gov
ernments." Have the Cuban insurgents
established any such government? Why,
in the part of Cuba subject to their in
cursions, there is no government atail,
anarchy reigning supreme. They have
not single attribute of an independent
government, and the idea of recogni-
zing the political independence of some
bands of banditti appears ludicrous to
most we'll informed and intelligent
