By all means be economical, but
don't be too economical where
health or life is concerned. The

count between the old, STANDARD

DISLIKE DON DICKINSON.
English Averse to His appointment as
Behring Sea. Claims Counsellor.

London, July 17.-The only point of
possible friction now apparently remaIns
ing between this government and the
United States in regard to the settlement
of the Behring Sea claims appears to
be the selection of Mr.. Don Nj. Dick
inson Of Michigan as counsel for the
United States before the claims tribunal.
Government officials here have beeu
placed in possession of Mr.. Dick kinson's
speech before the Loyal League in De-
troit in May last, in which he severely
commented upon the general policy Of
ths British government.
1t ia conceded that in the selection OF
counsel no governments is bound by the
same rules in regard to the selection of
a persona grata as in the selection OF
diplomatic and consular officers. Never
theless guarded statements are made in
official orioles that if some counsel not
so pronounced in hostility to England
had been selected for the Behring Sea
Claims commits ission the British govern
ment would have found it an easier task
to satisfy home sentiment in negotiating
treaty for the settlement of Venezuelan
boundary disputes.

ANOTHER BOND ISSUE.
President Will Not Hesitate in Case OF
Necessity.

Gold Reserve VIII be Protected at All Haz-
ards and Affairs of Treasury VIII be
Managed the Same as if No Election Was
Pending.
Washington, July 17.--The President
is prepared to issue another call for bonds
should it become necessary to protect the
gold reserve. He will not be deferred by
any consideration Of party policy. From
a source very close to him and Secretary
Carlisle it is learned tonight that, what
ever may happen, the affairs of the treas
ury will be conducted during the next
three months just as if no election were
approaching.
Mr.. Cleveland has no desire to give
the country another object lesson at this
time. The report in circulation that the
President he's in mind the use Of silver
for the redemption of greenbacks is en-
phatically denied. Rather than make any
redemption in silver. Mr.. Cleveland will
call for more bonds TO replenish the gold
reserve, conscious though he is that moth

that nothing could be bet5er calculated

The gold reserve is now 81, 900, 600 be-
low the 500, GOO, 900 mark, and the ad-
mlnlstra5ion expects it togo considerably
lower, although it hopes that the very
peril of the performance at Chicago may
act as detriment upon those brokers in
New York who might be tempted to ship
gold in the expectation of profit.
The visit of Secretary Curtis to New
ork is understood to bP for the purpose
Of consultation with leading brokers

shipments. Ehe serious possibilities in
volved In such reduction of the reserve
as will necessitate another issue of bonds
will be placed very clearly before the
financial nagnates and speoulators Of the
metropolis. 1t will be pointed out, to them
that it is as much to their interest now
to prevent bond Issue as it may hither-
to have been to their interest to prec1pi-
tate one, for no single thing could con-
tribute to the success Of the Bryan party
with tho attendant assurance of free
silver coinage as further increase of the
national debt for the maintenance of the
gold reserve right on the eve of the
election. During the next few weeks
there are likely to be many rumors re-
garding the intention of the treasury. 1T
can be banked upon pretty certainty that
whatever the rumors or whatever the
temptation the treasury will not redeem
in silver, and it will issue bonds If the
gold reserve becomes seriously impaired.

ARE BANKERS TO BLAME?
ton Holds Them Responsible for Free
Silver Craze.

Niagara Falls, July 17.-The third an
nual convention of the New York State
Bankers Association was called to order
at the International hotel tthis morning
by President James g. Cannon Of New
York, who delivered his annual address.
REPRESENTATION, he said. was in high
degree of prosperity, and it's growth
during the past year has demonstrated
it's usefulness and Importance in the esti-
nation Of the bankers Of the state. In
concluding his address President Can
non said:
81 feel that cannot close these re-
marks without reference to the subject
that is uppermost in the mind of every
banker in the state at the present time,
namely. the maintenance of the gold
standard of value. and the question oc-
ours to Iae, Arc we in any wise blame
worthy for the growth of the free silver
sentimentP Is it not true that a large
number of bankers have perhaps uncon-
sciously contr buted to bring about the
present disatfection of the borrowing
class.
Too frequently when tradesman OF
o farmer goes to his banker TO secure
loan ne Is met with a refusal on the
ground that there is a scarcity of money,
OF he Is informed that because OF the
scarcity of money he must pay high
rate Of interest. This is poor policy to
pursue, especially il money is not scarce.
The banker should rather carefully study
the conditions that surround his custom
eFs, and when refusing advances should
frankly and honestly give his reasons
for so doing.
sc If a farmer. for instance is raising
one crop, and that crop is likely to fail,
thus obliging his banker to wait for his
money an entire year, he should be ad-
vised by the bank officer to put more
diversified crops, or to produce some
thing that will sell for cash, SO that he
can pay his loans at the bank at matu-
rity. Or If merchant is selling to
class of trade In community that Is un-
dersirable, he should be cautioned and
advised regarding this whole subject.
" In other words, the banker should be
looked upon by his clients the same as
