his friends have any doubt of his final
success.
It is said by some that the reason
some of the republican senators oppose
making change in the Offices of Sec
retary and Sergeant-at-Arms OF the
Senate is that they control more
patronage under the present democrat
ic officials than they could hope to re-
tain under new ones. An attempt is
to be made the last of this week to
settle the question at a caucus OF re-
publican Senators.
Senator German virtually acknowl-

intention to retire from the democratic

Condition OfNatiOnal Banks.

The abstract from the reports made
to the comptroller of the currency by
3,7O6 national banks in the United
States, showing their condition on De-
cember 13, 1895, shows loans and dis
counts amounting to $2,O2O,961 1872,
against $2,O5S ,49S, ,4O2 on September
%, 1896, the date of the last report.
The gold coin held by the national
banks on December 13 last amounted
to $11O,S43, 400, against $11O,SS, 1850
on September %.
The treasury gold certificates on
hand amounted to 500, 936,O80, as
compared with $2l ,525,93O on Septem-
Der %. The clearing house gold GER
tifcates aggregated $33.465,OOO, as
compared with $3I O21 900 on Septem-
Der %.
The treasury silver certificates
amounted to $25,S7S,323, as compared
with 500, ,914,1S0 in September. The
total specie on hand December II was
$2O6,713,410, as compared with $780,
237 ,311 on September 2o.
The Legal tender notes on hand
amounted to $99,2O9,423. as against

The United States certificates OF de-
post for legal tender notes on hand
aggregated $3l, ,44O, 900, as against S4S,-
100000 in September.
The reports show, between Septem-

The East and immigration.

The immigration Restriction League,
with headquarters at Boston, has been
making some very thorough investiga-
tions as to the character of the new ar
rivals from Europe, and comes to the
conclusion that the East should urge
more restrictive laws, for the reason
that the great majority of the undesir-
able class remain in Eastern cities,
while the better class, which will in
time make good body of citizens
moves on to the West and assists in
building up the new country. An ex-
animation by the league of 1000 i'm
migrants over 16 years of age arriving
on three different days in December,
1898, showed that while the average
illiteracy of the British, Germans and
Scandinavians was 2.3 in a hundred,
among the Films, Russians, Hungar-
lans, Galicians and Syrians the average
illiteracy was 45 per cent. A study of
the destination of these immigrants
developed the fact that nine-tenths of
the races whose illiteracy is very great
remained on the Atlantic seabOard
while only 10 per cent. went west of
Pennsylvania, and of these only 3 per
cent. went west of the Mississippi
river.
Those races which would be little
affected by an educational test go west,
while the illiterates remain in the
crowded cities and generally in the
slums. 1t appears from the report of
the commissioner of labor that the
proportions of those of foreign birth or
parentage to the total population in
the slums of Baltimore was II per
cent. in Chicago 80 per cent. in New
York 50 per cent. and in Philadelphia
81 per cent The figures for the foreign
born alone are correspondingly strik
ing. 1t appears from the same COM
report that OF every 100
aliens 40 were illiterate in the slums
of Baltimore, At in Chicago, SO in New
York and 81 in Philadelphia; and
that of every 100 of these illiterate
aliens there were 67 males of voting
age in Baltimore, II in Chicago, IS in
New York and IS in Philadelphia.
The East finds that it's standard of
literacy is declining and that the large
centers are being filed up with the re-
fuse portion of the great hordes admit
ted under our existing laws. The i'm
league, while it would not
exclude any immigrants whose char
acter and standards fit them to become
still insists that we must have
stricter regulations, and as means
thereto it advocates the exclusion of |
all persons between the ages of IA and |
50 who cannot both read and write the |
English language, or some other
