Between the admiral and the widow
a very cordial feeling had existed since
the day when the old seaman had hauled
down his flag and changed his opinions !;
granting to the yachtswoman all that
he had refused to the reformer. His own
frank and downright nature respected
the same qualities in his neighbor, and
a friendliness sprang up between them
which was more like that which exists
between two men, founded upon esteem
and a community of tastes.

- wv We " SouFHot-
TOPEKA. Kan. Sept. ls.-A peculiar bank
failure is reported from Bennington. The bank
Is perfectly solvent, its assets greatly exceed Its
liabilities. yet its doors are closed, and the crcd-
itors viii not be able to get their money for sew
eral months. This condition was brought about
by the death of one Of It's owners. The institu.
ton is known rs the Bennington Banking Com
pany; and WAS owned by c. Nelson, J. II. Nelson,
and David Binns. u WAS a private bank, and
owned Sll 400. The deposits aggregated about
$4,000. c. Nelson. tho principal owner. died
yesterday.
Being a private bank, his institution had to DO
taken as his estate. Tho law prohibits the cren-
ton Of additional liability against the estate Of
deposits could he taken by the cashier. This
OF course settled the banking business of that
institution. An executor cannot carry on the
business of a deceased private banker. Then
no money could be paid out to individual de-
positors, as that would make their claims pre-
ferrod, which is also prohibited by law In case OF
an estate. So tho only thing now left for the
doposi!ors to do is to wait until tho estato Of tho
Probate Court. All OF tho depositors will then DO
paid In full at the same time, hut this will take
several months, unless a reorganization is Of
fected and the debts OF tho bank assumed.

portations Of coolio labor. Her critical re-
lations with japan have indicated what
may be in store for her. She has great
numbers Of Chinese, too, and a very strong
and numerous Portuguese colony. Then
the ~royalist faction still clings to the mo-
tion Of restoring the throne, and possibly
hopes to make terms with one or other OF
the great foreign elements.
Thus 1t is seen why the Hawaiian Commit
tee on Foreign Relations regards the aid OF
the United States as indispensable for the
good government of Hawaii. Japanese i'm
migrants are just now pouring In again by
hundreds, and some of the alarmed people
see in them soldiers In disguise. The fact
Is that Hawaii will always be the prey OF
alarms until she is gathered into our Union.
And apart from groundless fears there is a
very solid source of anxiety as to how far
Japan's demands for her subjects are to go.
We might, indeed, declare a formal pro-
tectorate over Hawaii, and so assure to her
tranquility and good government but
avowed protcctorates have never formed a
part Of our system, and vastly better is 1t
to take the islands by annexation frankly
and fully under our flag.

The One suro Aid for Hawaii.

With the ratification of the annexation
treaty by the unanimous vote of her Senate,
Hawaii has now lone her utmost toward
entering the Union, and must be consid-
cred as having put herself meanwhile di-
rectly under the protection of our Govern
mcnt. A very brief session produced this
ationists in Hawaii are still active, it will
not be set aside.
One sentence in the report of the Ha-
waiian Committee on Foreign Relations
relating to the treaty has attracted special
attention: Good government cannot be
permanently maintained in these islands
without assistance from without" One
member of President DoLE's Cabinet pro-
tested against this assertion as unfounded
and also AZ II dangerous admission In the
event of the treaty's failing. But the pos.
sibility Is too small to worry about, while
the words of the committee are justified, in
the large sense.
Good government for Hawaii Is not Ea-
naka government, nor Japanese govern
ment, nor Portuguese government. Good
government never could come from the
throne which Mr.. CLEVELAND tried and
failed to restore. 1t must be government
by those who overthrow the monarchy and
established the republic. They ave demon.
strated during more than four years their
ability to govern the island well but this
result has been achieved largely because
foreign powers knew hat the Hawaiian
republic had the United States for its
hacker. In other words, it has virtually
had and still enjoys aid from without.
But Hawaii sees that henceforth this aid
must take a different form. She Is begin
ming to reap the fruits of her enormous inn

Though we are near the close Of the
month of September, the fall trade of the
city with out-of.town firms Is yet of I'M
usual magnitude, largely because of the ef-
forts for its increase that have been made
by the Merchants Association of New
York. Thousands of customers have been
brought to this market who have not been
in the habit of making their purchases In
1t. n tens of millions of dollars have been
disbursed here by buyers who, in other
years, have bought their goods elsewhere.
1t Is to the increasing prosperity of the
country and to the well.directed energy of
the Merchants Association that these re-
suits are to be attributed.
When a number of the more enterprisinp
members of the mercantile community or
ganized the association three months ago,
they devised plans for attracting to the
city more buyers than have favored 1t with
their custom In recent years. We have
already spoken of their methods of ad.
vcrtising the advantages that exist here.
their agencies for the circulation of bust
ness information, their successful neRo-
tiations with the railroad and steamship
companies for reduced rates Of travel.
their arrangements for special excursions.
and their manner of guarding the interests
and serving the convenience of those of
their visitors who might desire to avail
themselves OF the incompatible induce.
ments that arc here offered to dealers in
every branch of business. The measure of
success that has been gained by this work

conditions that owexist, may be remarked

The Stubborn Horse at Ithaca.

A stubborn horse at Ithaca obtained
$4,000 for the State Veterinary College at
Cornell University ON Monday of the pres
ent week.
BY a balky fit he delayed Governor
FLOWER awhile at the new Veterinary
College. Learning from the director that
there were only fifteen books in the library
of the institution, the former Governor
called for pen and ink and wrote out a
check for S5 900, which he handed to the
director for the library fund.
If it had not been for that stubborn horse
at Ithaca the State Veterinary College
would not have that $5, 900.
Columbia College ought to send to Ithaca
for that horse at once. The trustees will
soon need an efficient solicitor or collector
OF contributions.
Under the administration of n business +"
President, with a debtof three millions and
a large increase in prospect, 1t is difficult to
perceive how the university on Morning
side Heights can get along without pecu-
MARY assistance from outside, in the shape
of numerous and generous donations.
To this end, the Ithacan horse, which
secures 50 900 every time he balks, would
be a most valuable agent.
