porary chairman. In a speech thanking

nominating any man for any office who
will not indorse and advocate a straight

all the principles of our party and the
preservation of our organization in this
crisis of our party TO be the wisest and
the best policy to be pursued by our con-
vention a St. Louis, both for our coun-
try and our party.

form forces on an honorable basis If one
preserving intact the organization and
principles of the peoples party can be de-
vised This may be done by an equitable
division of electors and not by surrender
or fusion"

What Banking Is.

Matthew Marshall, the financial writ
or of the New York Sun, thus defines
what in his Judgment the banking bust
ness is and is not:
Legitimate banking is nothing moro than
the taking Of money on deposit and the lend
ing Of it out again. The taking Of deposits in
wolves Of course the acceptance for collection
of checks, drafts, notes and other promises to
pay money, and the lending of money involves
likewise the discount or the purchase Of sim
liar promises. The profits of the business are
derived from the interest and discount on the
money loaned, out of which have to be paid
expenses, taxes and losses before anything
can be divided to the banks stockholders or
its proprietors. theoretically expenses, taxes
and losses should be equaled if not exceeded
by the interest or discount received for the
use Of the money of depositors, leaving
intact that derived from the employment of
the banks own money Consequently it is the
aim of all banks to attract as large volume
of deposits as possible, and the competition be-
tween them in this respect has led to the offer
ing Of inducements to customers which fire.
quently cost more than the business they bring
in is worth.
Banks add to their legitimate banking bust
ness the issuing of paper money. In the early
days of this country, when circulating medium
of all kinds was scarce this usurpatiOn of pow
er was at first connived at and finally legaliz-
ed, but it is n usurpation nevertheless Tho
furnishing Of the currency CT a country is
quite as much the function of it's government
as is providing it with an army or navy and
much more 80 than the carrying Of letters and
newspapers. The coming of metal nobody
pretends should be intrusted to private indi
viduals and corporations, and the printing Of
paper to serve rs money comes under the same
head.
As to the argument that small banks cannot
do business and continue to exist without the
additional profit to be derived from the issue
of circulating notes. 1t proves too much. A
bank which cannot make n living by Legitimate
banking business ought not to exist at all.

INDICATIONS.

The local elections in this State, says
the New York World, like those at the
West, shows that the Democratic party
is still very much alive. There are gains
almost everywhere. In New York the
gains have been most marked in the cit
les that have voted. In Ohio, Michigan
and Wisconsin the Democrats have cut
down the Republican majorities largely,
and in several instances carried towns
and cities that have for two years past
gone Republican. These results, so far
as they have political bearing, no doubt
signify the popular disgust and disap-
pointment at this do-nothing, buncombe
Congress, and the public apprehension
at the revival of McKinleyism.

Rev. E. L. Shepard, pastor of the Third
street M. Z. Church, received telegram
Friday afternoon notifying him of his
selection as Chaplain OF the State peniten-
tiary at Frankfort.
The telegram bringing the news Of his
appointment was from State Treasurer
G.. w. Long. Mr.. Long advised the new
Chaplain to come on at once and select a
home.
1t was given out from Frankfort a
few weeks ago as straight tip that Mr..
Shepard would get the position.
Mr. Shepard has been pastor of the
Third street church only few months,
since last fall, coming here from Ashland.
He is scholarly gentleman, and an
earnest and jealous worker in the minis
terial field. His many friends, while
they will regret to see him and his family
leave Maysville, are glad to learn OF his
appointment.
Mr.. Shepard will succeed Rev. d. B.
Cooper, of the NJ. +. Church, South, in
the position of Chaplain. The salary is
81 200 year.
Mr.. Shepard will leave Monday for
Frankfort, to make arrangements for his
removal to that point.
1t is not known yet of course who will
succeed him as pastor here. The Presid-
ing Elder, Rev. G.. R. Frenger, will prob
ably appoint some one to serve until the
next conference.

THE MAIDEN'S LEAP.

Judge.
She gazed into his sweet, blue eyes;
She longed to clasp his soft, white hand,
To place on it II golden band,
To bring blush of glad surprise.
She thought she'd won him, yet her heart
Outlines had doubts had cruel fears
When hope would drown in bitter tears,
When they would seem to drift apart.
But she her love in secret kept
Until she fear'd a rival fair.
PrOcrastinate she did not dare:
Twas leap-year-and the maiden leaped.
