BANK STATEMENT.
The weekly statement OF the Associated
Banks shows the following changes:
Reserve, increase $3,Si0OOo.
Loans. decrease, sl2,Ss5.SO.
Specie. increase. sl,SlO,5OO
Legal tenders. decrease, S369.l00.
Deposits. decrease. S.47ifO.
Circulation, increase, $26,2o1
The banks now hold $l3, 1880 in excess
OF legal requirements.
The Financier says: The statement OF
the Associated Banks contains some
rather surprising features. The heavy
LIQUIDATION In loans during the furry OF
two weeks ago was shown in the pre-
ceding statement, but the contraction has
been continuous, If the report for the
week Just ended reflects accurately the
situation. The decrease for the five days
ending January ith reached the unusual
figure of sl2. $500, making total
shrinkage i'm loans for the past two weeks
of sg4OG5eC0. The total loans have also
fallen $35.0OOO) since the LIST Of Deem
ber and have shrunk 100000 within
the past four months. Part OF the con-
traction for the current week has been
due. perhaps, TO the January dividend
period. which shows a great deal Of shift
ing.
The deposit item naturally shows
a heavy falling of, the loss being near
ly 100000 for the week. The item
Of cash holdings, however, does not
seem to have adjusted itself to existing
conditions. II is known that the receipts
from the interior for the week exceed
ed the outward movement by at least
10000. The Treasury disbursements
were also heavy. and the logical con-
clusion would point to a large increase
by the banks The increase this week
was but 100000
The statement as n whole, Is diff
cult OF Interpretation, and is mean
ingless in some Of its more important
items. One fact however, IS plain.
The New York banks have less money
In their vaults to-day, taking the state
ment OF the current week as authority.

Reformers.
McKinley'a nomination is now con-
coded by everybody who speaks his hon
est thought.
McKinley's triumph is democratic op-
portrnity.
The Ohio leader represents every ele-
nent and phase and consequences Of re-
publicanism that is nntagonistic to de-
mocracy. His nomination will present
the issue between the parties square
cut on every side. Twice on these issues
he and his party have been overwhelm-
ingly defeated before the people.
In 1883 the republicans carried the
country, electing their president and a
majority OF congress. Mr.. Mckinley
stood sponsor for the tariff bill which
represented the policy of his party and
the claims of its campaign contrib
utors.
At the election of 1890 the people
passed Judgment upon It, They con-
verted working republican majority
in the house into democratic majority
of 14s. They left Mckinley himself
st home. They rolled up popular ma
jority against McKinleyism of 1882, 900.
The republican contention was that
the vote was hasty. The people, they
said, had not experienced sufficiently
long the beauties of the Mckinley
tariff and the Reed expenditures. But
in 1892. after two years experience,
the people reatiirmed their verdict.
They elected Grover Cleveland by an
electoral majority of 1872 and popu-
lar plurality of as2,o5e They re-
turned a democratic majority of "a in
the house. They recovered the senate
and elected majority Of governors.
1t was tidal-waye submerging-
the second overthrow of Mckinley
ism.-
Again Mckinley is coming before the
country as the champion of protection
though we have tariff quite as high
as that recommended by the republic
an tariff commission in 1883 and enact.
ed by a republican congress.
He is to be posed as "the advance
agent of prosperity" -prosperit of the
sort illustrated by the Homestead strike
and riots, by hundreds of other strikes
and lockouts, by the failure to secure
any advance in wages to accompany
the large advance in bounties to the
protected industries, and, finally, in the
last year of his tariff, by million work.
ingmen out Of employment, an empty
treasury, a dissipated gold reserve and
a monetary panic.
McIlinley's triumph is democratic
opportunity. Is the party wise enough
to improve it?-N. y. World.

THE SILENCE OF DlsHoNoR.
A Candidate and Party Dominated by
Greed for ONCE.

A Candidate and Party Dominated by
Greed for ONCE.
There is much speculation as to the
outcome at st. Louis, the chief question
being: Can Mckinley obtain the COW
eted nomination without committing
himself upon the dangerous question of
silver?
We incline to the belief that he can.
The average delegate to that convention
will represent the hunger for office
first and his own OF his constituents
convictions afterward, if at all. The
platform of Senator Wolcott, of Col
orado, for silver platform if he can get
it, but, II not, then the next best thing,
Is likely to be popular one when the
convention assemblies.
Why should it be expected that this
convention will reverse all republican
presidents by suddenly insisting upon
principle first and the offices after
wards? Hon. Webster Flanagan, OF
Texas, was representative and popu.
lar republican when he exclaimed in
1880: "What are we here for but the
oflices?" A party that has fused with
populism to secure power in the south
ern states, that to-day holds the United
States senate by similar fusion with
the cranks and enemies of sound
finance, is not likely to leopard any
electoral votes by insistence upon clear
affirmation of the true principles Of
finance.
Mckinley has probably judged his
party Alright. We have yet to learn Of a
delegate or delegation lost to him
by his straddling. Threats there have
been, but threats hurt nobody, and
most of them have had string at
tachment.
But with the people it will be differ.
ent. The mistake Mckinley is making,
and his party is about to make in NOM
mating him, is in assuming that the
people, like themselves, are an organ
lied greed for Office. Nine-tenths of the
people care nothing for the offices, care
little who holds them. What they dc
care, what they have insisted and will
insist, is that their president shall be
man of convictions, with the courage
of his convictions.
Mr.. Mckinley will find that the
shibboleth of protection will not suf-
flee to bring the presidency to man
who dare not speak his mind on tho
greater question of finance. His silence
OF dishonor will be broken by the DEATH
knell of his hopes.-Albany Argus.

French Soldiers Tortured to Death FOR
slight onenses.
Another monstrous cnse OF Algerian
military discipline is reported. The vic
tim this time was q soldier named Chey-
mol, brother Of M. Paul Cheymoi. He
was sent, for some breach of rules, TO
q disciplinary company. This means
sort Of penal servitude Of the many fear
full kinds that have survived the revolu-
ton.
The name of the sergeant set over
Cheymol was Perrin. To humble him,
Perrin ordered him to be tied by the
wrists to horses tail, which was to be
kept going at brisk pace until the
sergeant cried Enough" After a long
spell of this exercise Cheymol fell. The
horse nevertheless was given rein and
whip until 1t was evident that 1t was
dragging not living man, but corpse.
A complaint has been sent by the
brother to the war minister, but, as
there was no breach Of rule, he will
probably wash his hands of the affair.
M. Ernest Roche, however, has given no
tice of an Interpolation, so that inquiry
will be made between this and the 18th
Of May, when the chamber reassembles,
of the head of the corps to which Private
Cheymol belonged.
Deputy Rounanet, who was for three
years in an African regiment which was
not disciplinary one, says that it was
hell upon earth. The officers and non
commissioned officers were brutalized
by absinthe, by having no check of
public opinion on their bad passions,
and by the arrogance arising from find
ing themselves masters Of the Arabs.
He, too, was attached by the wrists
to horses tail, and had thus TO go
all the way in blazing sun from Con-
stantine to Betna, and thence to Bislsra.
The worst feature of this torture is the
sense of loss of equilibrium. 1t is i'm
possible to steady ones self, the arms
being kept on the stretch, for care is
taken to make the horse go at puce
which obliges the soldier tied to its tail
to keep at trot. He is absolutely pow
erless to prevent himself falling for
ward If he stumbles against a stone, and
whe n he falls he cannot rise unless the
sergeant gives the order to the soldier
riding the horse to stop.
Bad as were the physical conditions,
the moral, M. Rounanet says, were a
thousand times worse. There was no
more prolific school of crime than the
Algerian regiments. "Whose is the
fault?" l asked. THE fault" was the
reply, sis now that of parliament, which
can do as it likes, but is was that old ras-
cal, Louis Philippe, who invented the
discipline Of the African regiment to
get rid of revolutionists in the army.
"The first disciplinary use made of
Algeria was in sending there, soon after
1890, the whole battalion of the charter,
which rose against Charles X, and was
not satisfied to hear that the Bour-
geois monarchy was the best of repub-
lies. Paris Cor. London News.

Much has been said OF late about the
treatment of tuberculosis by injections
of compound containing crcosote. In
some instances there has been.n-tnhlc
improvement, although as rule the
cough remains. A patient was reccnt.
~ taken to the hospital to be treated
with this creosote preparation, Each
day he received doses Of one-in-fifteen
solution, beginning with 1850 grains on
the first day, and increasing the dose ten
grains each time, until ~ ounces mad
been reached. The patient at this
time was seized with violent dclirium
and nervous agitation, alternating with
semi-comatose conditions. He renamed
in this state for nearly "a hours, when
there was a change for the better, and
after three days left the hospital as Is
supposed, entirely cured. The only pos
sible conclusion is that the creosote
poisons the disease germs in the body.
This is an important point for investi-
grafton, and should be carefully noted,
as it may lead to some unusually valu-
able discoveries.-N. Y. Ledger.
