Democratic Administration Injurious TO
Financial Jnstitutions-Hesvy Decrease
In Loans, Discounts and Deposits-Felt
All Over the Country.

AL OvtI tno SouutTys
We have recently drawn attention,
more than once, to the unsatisfactory
business that the national banks Of the
United States have been transacting
since the advent Of a Democratic adj
ministration, and we are now enabled to
confirm the results of previous investi-
cations, and point out, moreover, that
the great Democratic improvement" in
business this year has resulted in still
further decrease of the amount of money
placed out on loan by and also Of the
aggregate amount Of money ON deposit
in the national banks.
Taking first the amounts Of the loans
at the different periods given, as ascer-
tanned by investigations Of the comp
troller of the currency, we find them to
have been as follows:

The top notch Of business prosperity
for the national banks was reached in
1892, under our protective tariff nat
urally, when business was active and
there was good demand for money.
After the panic Of 1898 there was a
temporary revival in 1894 and again in
1895, corresponding with the fitful
Democratic trade ''revivals But these
were merely temporary, and the great
business improvement" Of the present
year, with its unprecedented number Of
trade failures and decreasing bank
clearings. has brought the money lend.
ing business Of national banks back to
their condition in 1889, thus correspond
ing with the output of our factories and
the employment Of our labor, both Of
which have retrogressed more than half
a decade.
At New York city, where there are
SO many bankers who believe in free
trade and who are ready to do the bid
ding of free trade administration, it
is interesting to note that the amount
Of money loaned by the national banks
on Sept. 80, 1892, was 1914, 200, 600.
But on Feb. 20 of the present year it
was only 1926, 1867, 600, falling off Of
nearly $19, 100000, which represents
an annual loss of interest approximate
ing round million dollars Some Of
the other cities that show loss under
Democracy in their banking business
are here appended as an 'object lesson"
for bankers:

CREATED SOME EXCITEMENT
Bloody Coat and Vest Found Under . Side
walk

There was quite an amount Of excite
ment along Fourth avenue in the neigh
borhood OF William street yesterday az
ternoon. About 3 o'clock colored man
discovered a coat and vest hidden there
under the sidewalk. He soon spread the
news in the neighborhood and large
and molly crowd soon collected around
the spot, looking with bullying eyes at
the unmitakable evidence of tragedy.
The colored man who made the dis
covery, pale with excitement. went down
to the Carey hotei in search of police
officer. 1t was not long afterward that
two or three officers were upon the
ground and the bloody coat and vest
was removed and examined. Blood there
was in plenty, but how it came there
was a mystery. Thoughts Of Jack the
Ripper having at last met his fate
fitted through the minds of some. rail-
road accident, a cutting scrape, and in
fact anything suggestive Of murder by
any means in the calendar, was thought
Of, but finally someone suggested the
possibility Of it having been upon the
man who committed suicide last Satur-
day.
An investigation was made in this line,
and the coat and vest answered the de-
scription Of those worn by Mr.. Bolte
when he was found. 1t seemed very
strange that they should appear in this
out of the way place. 1t was remember
ed that the body Of Mr.. Bolte was taxi
en- to Mr.. Gill's undertaking rooms and
inquiry was made there. The body had
not been undressed until brought there,
and his clothing was said to still be in
the back room. Upon closer investiga-
ton, howtver, ii was discovered that
when the body was undressed, the coat
and vest was laid outside the rear where
it would be out in the air. When search
was made there for il ii was missing and
no cause ascrioed for its removal. 1t
still remains mystery as TO just how 1t
got there. If some one had stolen them.
it seems strange that they should have
been found in the strange place they
were. They were taken undoubtedly by
some enc and hidden where they were
found, but ferthe than tina. Is IN.
possible to more than conjecture. 1t ere
atej considerable excitement in the
neighborhooc and large crowd of the
ilabiIues Of The neighborhood gathered

STREET CAR TROUBLES.
No Settlement of the Difficulty Which
Threatens TO Cause Strike.

New York, April 5.-A settlement of
the trouble between the Metropolitan
Street Railway company and its 5000
employees who threaten to strike unless
10 discharged men are reinstated, has
not yet been reached. The employers
are still persistent in their allegations
that the men were discharged for their
activity in organizing the Metropolitan
system as a local amalgamated associa-
ton of the Street Railway Employees of
America.
After meeting tonight reporter was
informed that there was nothing to add
or detract from President Irelands state
ment that the men were discharged for
a violation of rule of the company
which says that no employe must enter
liquor store during the hours of duty.
The executive committee of the Asso-
citation of Street Railway Employees held
an informal meeting today at their head
quarters.
General Organizer McCullom said:
"We are in the same position as we
were yesterday-awaiting the arrival of
National President MahOn."
While McCullom was talking tele-
gram was received saying that President
Mahon could not reach this city until
some time tomorrow.
"As soon as President Mahon arrives"
added McCullom, eve will send COM
mittee to the Metropolitan officials to
make. final effort to settle the matter
by arbitration"

TO BECOME A CANDIDATE FOR
THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINA-
TION FOR PRESIDENT.
A Letter 70 A KENTUCKY FRIEND
He Will Feel Amply Rewarded if Ken
tucky Democracy Endorses His Pub
lie Course-Does not Positively
Refuse the Nomination.

Washington, April 5.-Secretary Car
Isle has written the following letter on
the subject of his candidacy for the presi
dental nomination at the Chicago con-
vention:
washington, April 4.-Charies Long,
Esq, Chairman Democratic State Cen
tral Committee, Louisville, Ky.-My
Dear Sir-Your favor of March 20, in
which you say in substance that many of
my friends in Kentucky and elsewhere
desire me to become a candidate before
the Democratic convention for nomina
ton for the Office of president and re-
questing me to give some authoritative
expression upon the subject, was duly re-
ceived and has been maturely considered.
Many communications on the same sub
ject and of similar import have been re-
ceived from friends in different parts of
the country, ana while very grateful for
these numerous expressions of confidence
and esteem upon the part of my Demo-
cratic fellow citizens, | have not been
able to reach the conclusion that existing
conditions will allow me to comply with
their requests by announcing myself as
a candidate for the presidential nOmina-
ton. While feel a profound interest in
the welfare of my party, | am much more
concerned about its declaration of prin-
ciples than in its selection of candidate,
because, in my opinion. its success in the
future depends on the position it takes
or omlts to take upon the public Ques-
tons now engaging the attention of the
people, and especially the question af-
fecting the monetary system of the cOun-
try and the character and amount of taxa
ton to be imposed upon our citizens. Its
position upon these and other subjects
having been agreed upon and clearly and
distinctly announced, the convention
ought to have no difficulty in selecting an
acceptable candidate who will fairly rep
resent its views, and in order that its de-
llDeratlOnS may be embarrassed as little
as possible by the contentious of rival
aspirants and their friends. | think nv
duty to the party will be best performed
by declining to participate in contest
for the nomination. The obligations as
sumed when | accepted my present
official position require me to devote INV
entire time and attention to the. public
interests committed to my care, and |
snail continue to discharge the duties i'm
posed upon me to the best of my ability
ana III such manner as will. in my
Judgment, most certainly promote the
true interests of the country; and if. in
the opinion of my fellow Democrats i'm
kentucky, my service entities me to
their commentator and approval. |
would regard their endorsement of nv
public course as ample reward for the
little | have been able to accomplish in
behalf of honest administration and n
sound financial policy.
"With'many thanks for your kind let
ter, am, very truly yours.
