Better Banking Facilities Needed.

Discussing the poor credit and bank
ing facilities of the west and south be-
fore the last meeting of the American
Economic association, Mr.. Thomas G.
Sheur,nan said:
In the 1 southern states it is impos.
sible that onc-tenth of the farmers could
have amy bank accounts or could ever
draw checks i'll payment for their retail
transactions. LII the recent campaign
the successful candidate received the
votes of 23 states, the defeated candi-
date the votes of 222 The 23 states hold
90 per cent Of all bank deposits and de-
positors. Deducting from the other %
states the silver states and IL few large
cities, the remaining vast agricultural
section of the country, having 40 per
cent of the population aud 90 per cent
of the area, has less than i per cent of
the bank deposits and depositors. This
suggests what was the real grievance of
this mass of voters, although they did
not themselves understand it. Their
banking facilities are proportionately
only one-siNteenth of the rest of the
country

Emerson has left behind him nothirss..
stronger than this address. "11he Amer
lean Scholar" 1t was the first applica-
ton OF his views to the events of his
day, written and delivered in the heat
of early manhood while his cxtraortli-
nary powers We're at their height. 1t
moves with IL logical progression, of
which he SOON lost the habit. The sub
ject of 1.-THE scholars relation to the
world-was the passion of his life. The
body of his belief is to be found in this
address, and i'll any adequate account
of him the whole address ought to be
given.
DR.. Holmes called this speech of En-
crson's our intellectual Declaration of
Independence. and indeed it was.
"The Phi Beta Kappa speech" says
Mr.. Lowell, Twas an event without any
former parallel in our literary annals,
scene always to be treasured in the
memory for its picturesqueness and its
inspiration. What crowded and breath
less aisles, what windows clustering
with eager heads, what enthusiasm of
approval, what grim silence of foregone
dissent" John Jay Chapman in At

Cheap Confederate Money.

Asouthern firm advertises 15 varieties
of Confederate bills for 20 cents, also ~
''rare collection of 80 different bills and
shinplasters for only $2.'' Apparently
the firm has millions of dollars worth
of this money for sale cheap
What 81 pity that our old fogy consti-
tuition is i'll the way! But for it the
cheap money advocates in any state
where they have a majority could buy
up this whole Confederate outfit and
start i'll business ut once The amount
of prosperity and happiness that could
be extracted from this old paper mine
would depend upon the size (population)
of the state fortunate enough to secure
the monetary outfit.
For instance, it would probably give
Nevada more than 81 900 per capita and
would at once transform her from one
of the poorest to ono of the wealthiest
of states. Instead of sagebrush and
prizefights she would TEEN with gran
aries and warehouses. Down with IL
constitution which prevents state home
rule i'll monetary affairs and the mani
fold blessings of cheap money!

There never could be born a man e.
sentially great who did not like to laugh
or to make ut least others smile. Even
Schopenhauer and Nietzche could crack
their grim jokes. There is nothing in
compatible i'll that drollery which EN-
erson at times indulged in. In The Fo.
rum Mr.. Henry d. Lloyd thus descants
on Emerson:
A pleasantly recorded of him is q
story he told of friend who carried a
horsechestnut to protect lcsl from r,leu-
natism. "He has never had it since
he began to carry it, and indeed it ap-
pears to have had Il retrospective opera
tion, for he never had it before" An
English friend tells me that while with
Mr.. Emerson i'll his garden discussing
some problem of life Mrs. Emerson cali
ed to him for some wood Emerson went
to the wood pile. When he came back,
he said, with his wonderful smile,
"Now, we will return to the real
things"

him if he had any manual dexterity, he

This commission found that, while
certain capitalists. especially those en-

by the falling silver standard, the
wage earllers We're injured from the
fact that their wages did not rise as

The truth is that Japan got tired of
being a second rate nation and of work

careful investigation, concluded to get
rid of free coinage ut ordinary ratios,
which drives gold out of the country as
fast as it can be coined and which re-
