Don't let the tannery get away.

and fear to do wrong. Never be afraid
Of being laughed at. Faint heart never

ahead. Success will crown your efforts.
Recently the railroad physician has
been engaged in the examination of
sight and hearing Of train employees.
We learned that in the examination
or one of the old mossback and faith
full servants, the question of the i'm
portance of sight was being discussed,
when the doctor remarked that good
sight was Of vast importance Now,
said he. "can you see that fly travel
ing along up there on the ceiling?"
NO" replied the employee. II can
not, but | can hear him walk very
distinctly" In our opinion this
would be dangerous man to be near
two lovers, for he could hear the MUIR
murings of their hearts while their
lips would be sealed in silence.
Mrs. +. c. Russler, of North Liberty
street. accompanied by two of her
grandchildren, has been visiting rela-
tives and parents at McDonough,
Hagerstown, and Williamsport, Md.
All reported having a very pleasant
and enjoyable trip.
Recently we took a trip to Wash
ington on business which required us
to present ourselves before Hon. A.
6. Dayton, NJ c. from this District.
We found him at his pleasant and
comfortable abode on Third and
was warmly welcomed, finding him to
be the same kind hearted, genial gentle
man as of yore. earnest and honest in
his labors for the greatest good to the
majority of the people. At the Cap
itol we came in view of Rev. Chap
man and Editor of the Herald, the lat
ter of whom took charge of us and to-
gether we visited the Senate Cham
Der, House of Representatives, and
the Supreme court room, besides num-
erous other places of minor impor-
tance. To him we are under many
obligations for numerous introduc-
tons to residents, and points of inter
est, which to the casual observer
seems to be wrapped in mystery.
Though you NAV become foot-sore
from constant travel through a vast
number of avenues in the Capitol
Building, the eye never tires. There
is always something interesting or
instructive, new and novel. In look
ing over the higher official force in
this stupendous and magnificent
building, one would be constrained to
think how rich, how elegant, but
notice the man OF fortune on the brink
of the grave. Would he not part with
every dollar for longer lease of life?
Is he truly rich? Is he content after
all? The richest man on earth is he
who with his quiet little family is con-
tent with what he has. RALF.

Henry NJ. Stanley, in an article on
the Development of Africa, which
is to appear in the February Century,
recalls the fact that troubles with the
Beers in southern Africa first induced
David Livingstone to travel to the
north, and SO led the way to the open
ing ofEquatorial Africa. Livingstone,
who was a missionary at Kolobeng,
accused his Boer neighbors of cruelty
to the natives. They resented his in
reference, and threatened to drive
him from the country. He published
their misdeeds in the Cape newspapers,
and his house was burned in revenge.
This led to his leaving southern Africa
and going to a region where he could
follow in peace his vocation as mis-
sionary, unmolested by the Boer farm
ers.

A change IN the tariff is what the

system and such a standard also give
free scope for the use and expansion of
safe and conservative credit, so indis-
pensable to broad and growing CONNER
cial transactions and so we'll substituted
for the actual use of money. If fixed
and stable standard is maintained such
as the magnitude and safety of our COM
mercial transactions and business re-
quire. the use of money itself is con-
veniently minimized. Every dollar of
fixed and stable value has through the
agency of confident credit an astonishing
capacity of multiplying itself in finan-
cial work. Every unstable and fuctuat-
ing dollar fails as basis of credit, and
its use begets gambling speculation and
undermines the foundations of honest
enterprise.

my countrymen, serious menace to ou1

re-e1amine their views and beliefs in
the light of patriotic reason and familiar
experience, and to weigh again and
again the consequences Of such legisla
ton as their efforts have invited. Even
the continued agitation of the subject
adds greatly to the difficulties of dan
gerous financial situation already forced
upon us.

LOOKING FORWARD

The future prospects of Martins
burg are just now decidedly encour-
agingly Thanks to the untiring en-
ergy Of the Building and Loan and
Business Mems Associations the old
town. which pessinists have declared
finished. is pulling herself out of the
rut, donniug her robe of progress, and
like the New Woman or Bloomer Girl
will soon astonish the natives and
their neighbors.
Having heretofore described the
brass and wagon works it is unneces-
sary at this time to more than state
that the foundation for the former is
erected and that bricklaying will be-
gin at once; that all arrangements fer
the latter are completed. the plans for
the buildings are drawn, and the
buildings will be pushed to compile
ton at the earliest possible moment
Better than these, however, isan I'M
mense cannery. A tract of 10 acres
of land has been secured on the north
ern border OF this city, in close prox-
unity to both the B. & o. and the c.
" railroads, which, after reserving a
portion for the works. viii be plated
and disposed of in the form Of town
lots. There will be 200 oil these lots
and they will be sold at a nominal
price half when the factory is under
roof and the remainder in one year.
In case the purchaser so desires pay
ment may be made in produce. There
are many other details which will be
given all interested persons by mem
bers of the committee appointed by
order of citizens meeting held last
Saturday.
But that to which we wish to direct
special attention is the important fact
that Martinsburg is on the threshold
of most prosperous era. This year
will witness large increase of popu-
lation. New faces will be seen and
new oodinfused into thecommunity.
Money will be-Hiofe abundant and
real estate will appreciate in value.
He is a wise man who will now pro-
vide for the future. The money being
saved by the people by virtue of the
recent large investments in building
association stock will eventually put
many of our citizens in easy circum-
stances. While some are pinched
now, it will not be long until money
will begin to circulate more. freely and
then the advantages Of the efforts
made to establish new Industries will
be apparent. A little more self-sac-
rifce, little more determination to
labor for the good of the community
and at the same time help ourselves
will work wonders. Farmers have
been slow to take hold. They are
interested above all others. They
will reap the lion share of the bene-
fits by virtue of the home inarket-the
best market.

U. s. Bonds as National Bank Reserves.

u. s. Bonds as National Bank Reserves.
Under existing law national banks
are required to set apart. and hold as
reserve for the protection Of depositors
a certain portion of their capital stock
This reserve must be legal tender
gold or greenbacks. There are about
$500 such banks and it is safe to esti-
mate the reserve at sS2S5, 600, 600.
This is idle capital from which the
banks receive no remuneration what
ever. Two thirds Of it is gold IF
Congress would allow the banks to in
vest one-half or two-thirds of their
gold in bonds at least 500, 900, 900
would be released, the treasury sup
piled, a market afforded for a like
amount of bonds, and the banks re-
lieved of the burden of carrying that
much dead capital. The bonds would
answer every purpose as a reserve,
being at all times good as gold
While we would not advocate a meas
ure that would impair the solidity of
the national banking systematic
best and safest system ever devised
we cannot see wherein Congress could
err in making the change suggested,
Since the above was written the
plan outlined has become a subject OF
discussion among bankers and mem
bers of Congress. A bill providing
that not to exceed so per cent of the
reserves may be held in bonds, has
been introduced in the House of Rep
resentatives by Mr. Odell, of New York,
but no committee action has been tax
en- upon it.
I. B. Clement, president of the First
National Bank of Fairbault, MINI,
has telegraphed to Representative
Heatwole that if the bond bill which
passed the House, and is before the
Senate, can be amended to permit
banks to hold the bonds for limited
time as fart OF their reserves, the
banks undoubtedly would exchange
gold for the total issue, and banks of
his section would make larger sub
scriptions
Comptroller Eckels, of the treasury,
spoke rather disparagingly of the
movement, and suggested that banks
could not pay depositors in bonds.
and that they might be embarrassed
in case of unexpected demands.
