EASTERN CAPITAL.

Chicago and other Western bank fail
ures have hit the East pretty hard this
year. The Globe Savings Bank of the
Lake City has gone into liquidation after
vain struggle to preserve a semblance of
existence. The bank has for some time
been in hot water. 1t was pinched by the
hard times and needed money az badly as
any bank ever did. In desperation it
came down upon the city OF Nashua,
y: H., where most Of its stock was held.
and demanded that the stockholders give
up 80 per cent to help the bank out of
Its fix.
The stockholders did nothing Of the
kind. They had their money In the Chi
cago bank, but they did not propose to
put any more there. So they sent repre-
sentative on to Chicago to look the mat
ter up. He reported adversely and the
bank went to the wall.
This is only one of several cases that
have appeared of late where eastern money

est money. Had eastern capital been more
judiciously. invested there would not
have been 30 much Of panic during the
last four years. Eastern banks, as well as
individuals, are prone to be careless in in
vestigating the securities for their money
A vast amount of capital has been invested
In western street railways and fabulous
mines that were not worth the price of the
paper used in conducting the negotiations
When financial panic comes on, these
are the first to feel the effect, and the un-
happy investor learns for the first time
what a fool he has made of himself. A
good many eastern bank failures would
have been averted during the past four
years had investors sought sound eastern
security for their money. Now that the
hard times are practically over we hops
that investors, while they get their
breath, will stop and consider these
things and not put themselves in the
| way Of fresh calamities. There IL plenty
OF good security for eastern money.

How comes IL that cattle afflicted with
tuberculosis get into Pawtucket?
This is question of more than passing
Importance. An animal, condemned by
tn, health authorities of Massachusetts,,
has been found in this city offeriny a
IN mace to the people. The person who
formerly owned the animal and who saw
1 led away from him to the execution
chamber. as he thought, found it here and
recognized it. The beast was not dead |;
in fact he was a candidate for the vile
marts OF trade and would have been dis
posed of had not its old friend and owner
stepped in.
How came this diseased animal here?
Evidently there is something crooked
somewhere. The crime is plainly one OF
Massachusetts,, but the evil results would
have fallen on Pawtucket had not fate
intervened. Is it possible that our sister
State takes no steps to see that her statutes
are enforced? There is a laxity somewhere
of a serious character. 1t carries in its
wake pestilence and death. The laws of
Rhode Island are none too strict upon the
question of tuberculosis, and we can i'll
afford to become the dumping ground of
Massachusetts, diseased and rejected crea-
lures.
A rigid investigation ought to be made.
Whoever was responsible for this thing
well, il ought to be fixed SO that he won't
do 1t again. 1t is possible that the person
who brought the cow INTO Rhode lslano
was innocent of all knowledge that she
had been condemned to death, bat who
ever led her out of the shadow of the gull
latine was not. Seriously, this is a grave
offence. Epidemic and drouth might have
resulted from 1t. But who knows how
many more diseased cattle there
are in Pawtucket and the Blackstone
Valley, smuggled in just some such way.
1t is not too early to be alarmed. The ami
NAL 50 fortunately discovered here Is not
likely to be the only one of her kind. The
health authorities of the State can do no
better than to inspect all the cattle in this
vicinity and endeavor to ascertain the sit
uation. 1t will cost q little something and
will take some time, but 1t Is the ounce of
prevention that is worth a pound of cure.

HANDWRITING ON THE WALL.

The municipal elections in Ohio, Michi-
gan and Illinois show a remarkable politi-
cal change. The great Democratic victor
tories testify that the people no longer
take any stock in Mckinley as an "advance
agent" etc. Even Canton, o., has been
captured by the Democrats. A Democratic
majority Of $4,000 in Chicago five months
after the National election, conveys a sig
nifcant lesson.
In Cincinnati, where Mckinley had q
majority OF almost 1900 last November,
the Democrats elect their candidates for
Mayor by majority of more than 1000.
McKinley's own town Of Canton changes
from about 700 Republican TO 800 Demo
cratic. In Cleveland, Senator Hanna's in.
fiuence and personal vote failed to preven,
the wiping out Of the Republican majorit,
OF last fall.
| There is a warning in this for the Re
publican managers. Let the new McKin
ley bin pass the Senate in anything lik
the form In which II has passed the House
and the reaction, OF which we see tn
first evidence In Ohio, will sweep tn
country. IL will advance the revolution a
the State elections this fall and make I
complete and overwhelming in the election
Of the new oonsrsss next year.

A lew OF the men about town have
caught on to one of the best jokes of the
season, and 1t is worth relating although
have sympathy enough for the disap-
pointed not to mention names, and when
you come right down to 1t, It is none of
my business anyway, but then 1t is funny,
but not as funny as the young mans face
when he realized his position. The young
man In question has been for some time
attentive to very charming miss, who
apparently is not displeased with his at
tentions. In fact the thing has gone 80
far that he is now permitted to run er-
rands for the family, and do other chores.
Now, when this stage of the game is
reached, as you all know, matters have
taken a serious phase. The family Of
whom he hopes some day to be member
have had as a guest a married daughter,
and this daughter has an interesting boy,
aged about three years, IN. B., all boys are
supposed to be interesting at this age.)
The young man had heard of the visitor,
Dut never uau seen the cn1lO. 10 make
the story perfectly clear it should be here
mentioned that the family washerwoman
has a boy of about the same age, but the
latter has red hair, and promises in future
years to bear a striking resemblance to
Robert Fitzsimmons, Esq. The young
man called the other afternoon, and the
washerwoman's child having strayed away
from its mothers watchful eye had in
vaded the hall. The young man seated
alone in the parlor saw the child. Here
was his opportunity. He would make
himself "solid" with another member Of
the family. He took the child on his
knee, supposipg II was the visitor.
Imagine his horror when on the arrival
OF his girl, and her sister, he discovered
the child, whose good looks he had COM
plimented, was a member OF the rising
generation In Fishville.

COuPaNY GOES BY DEFRULT.
New Telephone System Fails
to File its Bond With
the Board.
Yesterday Was the Last Day of
Grace.
Attempted to Sell to the Cumberland
Telephone Company.
Nashville Evening News.l

The Southern Telephone Company
is now defunct, or, rather, it has
never existed. The company eX-
perienced considerable difficulty in
making bond of $4,000 as a guar
antee that the line would be in
operation in eighteen months.
Several resolutions were passed in
the City Council granting them
further time, but it always met
with the same result. On the last
day of grace the promoters of the
enterprise would plead for more
time, and in every case the Council
would grant it.
On the last meeting day OF the
City Council the time for the t1ling
of the bond expired. A bond was
offered to the Board of Public
Works and Affairs with a numberof
Chicago parties as sureties, but It
was refused, because the financial
standing of the parties was un,
known. The company then prayed
for more time, and were given until
yesterday by the City Council.
When the Board adjourned yester-
day afternoon the bond was not
forthcoming. 1t has been rumored
that the company had made an
effort to sell out to the Cumberland
Telephone Company, and circum-
stances point to the correctness OF
this rumor. 1t was so stated by
Councilman Goodlow on the floor OF
the Council last night.
After the Council adjourned
bond was offered to Chairman
Smith, but he could not accept J
without the other two members
and SO the company goes by default
