MISSOURI NATIONAL DEPOsITORS
PLANS FOR A NEW BANK.
Many Have signed the Agreement
Connection of ChPrIes Lantry
and Major Hood Inspires
Much Confidence.

The plan Of settlement OF the affairs Of
the Missouri National bank and the ors1l-
lzation Of a new concern to take up the
claims and pay off the depositors in in
staIlments. as detailed in the Journal yes
terday. attracted much attention and vas
favorabIy commented on BY. business men
all over the city yesterday. The plan vas
considered feasible and great faith was eN-
pressed in the new organization on account
OF the large number of stockholders who
would cast their influence with the bank,
and also on account of the splendid stand
ing of the men whose names are men
toned as being at the head Of the new en-
terprise. It IS generally conceded that in
case Major Hood and Charlie Lantry are
In q position to take the active manage
ment of the bank its success is assured
from the first and that confidence IS in
tensihed when it IS stated that other men
of equal reputation and business quaiih-
cation are associated in the transaction
with them.
The five men named as trustees for the
drpositors met yesterday morning at the
office Of S. y. Hough, canvassed the situa-
tion and decided to push matters and se~
cure the signatures Cf the depositors as
RAPIDLY as possible. Depositors who repre-
yesterday. and so far not ore has declined
to assent 10 the plan. Yesterday more
than a dozen country bankers were in the
city and Investigated the matter. In every
instance they said the plan was the best
that could be adopted. and they would rec
ommend 10 their banks its adoption, and
would hope to be back soon TO place their
signatures on the roll.
The trustees will meet every day at the
Office of Secretary HOuEh. Yesterday no.
tices to 1900 of the depositOrs were sent
out, asking them 20 call at the Office Of
Mr.. Hough and see the agreement and sign
it II they felt willing to 20 into the plan
with the others. The committee wants to
get the names as quickly as possible, to
the end that something definite can be
done when the stockholders of the bank
meet on the 18th I'm the New York Life
building. BY that time il is believed word
will have been received from every stock
holder so that definite action on the sub
ject Will be taken and the proceedings Will
then be advanced rapidly.
The signatures now on the list represent
more than one-fourth the banks deposits
and at the rate they are coming in it is
believed that over SO Der cent will be on
the list by Saturday evening. The quick
er the depositors agree TO the plan the
sooner something else on the plan of set
tlement can take place.

when Messrs. Collier. Howell and other
promoters OF the Atlanta Exposition were
soliciting aid from Congress, they called
upon President Booker Washington TO

made an eloquent and effective appeal
for them. in which he was cordially as
sisted by two African bishops.
II was n very remarkable scene. and
made a strong impression upon all who
heard the addresses.
President Washington Is held in high
esteem by his white ~noighbors in Ala

parallel development OF tho races Is the
best solution OF the race problem. Paral-
lei lines continue TO innnity, but never
unite or cross. When It IS understood

that there can be no general satisfaction

c,r,NITy CAMpAIGNING.

The Louisa News. which recently nom
mated Mr.. Bryan for tie presidency IN
1900. begins its campaign of calamity with
the following:
THE daily metropolitan papers are
writing for effect since the election that
business is getting on q boom right along.
This is an icsh. The factories viii not
manufacture when the farmers are un-
able to buy their products. As long as
corn is % cents a bushel. wheat - cents,
oats is cents and tobacco and cotton down
10 nothing. the business of the country
cannot flourish. The business Of the
money gamblers must first be broken mp.
There must also be gold and silver free
coinage"
our Louisa contemporary has not got
ten away from the period Of free silver
depression and is living in the past.
Had it taken the trouble to consult any
recent market report. it would have seen
that wheat is quoted I'm Richmond at
from IS TO o. cents for longberry and s.
to % cents for shortborry. while corn is
80. TO 81 cents and oats "a TO % cents.
Cotton is quoted in New York at from
: 81 10 s. and as for tobacco. yostcr-
days report was "lively bidding for all
grades and full prices all round"
Such campaigning as this comes 10
grief when it collides with a market re-
port.

The Bristol Courier made a good fight
for free silver during the late campaign.
but it thinks that Candidate Bryan Is
hasty n p%rccipitate in beginning now
the bimctallic campaign Of 1900. His ac-
ton represents more of impetuosity than
of mature judgment. thinks the Courier,
and the wiser plan would, I'm its judg-
ment, have been TO let the smoke Of
battle first clear away before advancing
farther, ard ne should at least have held
a consultation with his loutenants be-
fore plunglng again into battle. The Cour-
Ter then goes on to say that this is no
time 10 perfect plans. not 10 mention q
continuation Of the shooting down your
opponents. as the plans and policies of
The incoming administration are not yet
known. The Courier says:
"Mr. Bryan certainly had better waited
a more opportune time 90 rally his forces
Tor the conflict I'm 1900. Even If ne only
means to continue the campaign Of edu-
cation. he begins at a most inopportune
time. The first consideration of a BUSH
ness man IS 10 adjust his affairs TO the
principles and policies that have trl-
umphcd, and which are 10 govern the
business OF the country for four years
10 come. The first consideration Of the
laboring man is TO earn his bread. not
under some future policy. but under the
policy in vogue. In fact, the attention
of the American people Is at present
directed TO the probable conditions under
the new administration. and they are
watching carefully what is being done
in the Mckinley and Ham household.
Tho conditions do not invite speculations
ns TO the twentieth century. They have
TO do more directly with tho present needs
and demands under existing conditions,
which cannot now be changed within
tho present century. 10 viii. therefore,
not be surprising If Mr.. Bryan. eloquent
and able as ne has shown himself 10 De.
fails TO secure permanent results by ic-
newing the fight under the conditions
which confront him. In our opinion. the
plan which ne has adopted SIS as impolitic
as It is ineXpodicnt. and coming events
will doubtless hCa~ us out in the position
which We have taken
From the Couricr's standpoint. Mr..
Bryan's conduct is indeed remarkable.
But our Bristol contemporary does not
seem 70 realize the fact that AIR. Bryan's
free silver campaign did not originate
IN the Democratic party. and that Mr..
Bryan docs not look TO that source for
counsel. His neutcnants are not there,
and the Democratic party may. and doubt
less will. tire Of tho free silver question
before the campaign Of 1900.
But there are those who arc always
true 10 the cause Of silver. The men who
own the silver mines are tho men who
started the silver agitation. and who took
advantage Of popular discomfort in 1896
10 make It the leading political issue Of
the presidential campaign. They are re-
sponsible FOR the continuance OF the
agitation. and they are responsible. no
doubt. Cor the premature campaign Of
the Hon. William j. Bryan. which seems
to the Bristol Courier so strange and IN
1udiciOus.
