In pursuance of it's policy to cast dis
credit and odium on the national bank sys-
tenn by connecting it with the old United
States Bank, the local Bryan organ says:
The Indianapolis Journal is the champion
of honest-money reform as it may be out
lined by the present administration, no mat
ter what it may be in detail, and the Jour
nal finds 1t advisable to make a defense OF
the old United States Bank. although it
avows that there was no similarity between
it and the national banks. :" The
United States Bank was good thing. jack
son fought it for political reasons only. He
had no more patriotism than the men of
to-day whom the Journal has freely de-
nounced anarchists" regulators, -
advocates of dishonesty" etc. That is it's
view of a banking system which was de-
nounced by every Democratic platform for
over thirty years.
The Journal is not to be frightened by rat
Ting the skeleton of the old United States
Bank. AS it is dead and buried, there is no
more occasion for defending than for at
lacking it, AS a matter of fact, however, it
was a very useful institution in its day and
did render good service to the government
the country and the people until it was en-
barrassed, crippled and finally destroyed by
Jackson and his personal followers. Many
Democrats, including some ADLER men than
Jackson, favored the bank. Albert Gallatin,
a Democrat of the old school, secretary of
the treasury under jefferson during both
of his terms, and one of the ablest the coun-
try ever had, was an ardent supporter of
the bank and of its recharter. The same
is true of Alexander ]. Dallas. secretary of
the treasury under Madison. Madison, HIM
self, though at one time opposed to the
bank, approved the bill for its recharter in
1916. Hostility to the bank was never
Democratic creed until jackson made it So
and he was actuated largely by personal
and political spite. He had no fixed views
on the subject when he came TO Washing
ton as President. The bank was not an
issue in his election. He came to Washing
ton expecting to serve but single term
during which the question of rechartering
the bank was not expected to come up. 1t
had been rechartered with Madison's APP
prevail in 1876 for twenty years, which
would not expire until 1886. But, in 1929
the influence of Isaac Hill, one of the So
called Kitchen Cabinet at Washington,
involved Jackson in an endeavor TO bring
about the removal of Jeremiah Mason, a
political opponent, who was president of the
branch OF the United States Bank at Forts

BE. The law was passed in March, 1893.
and gave the roads till Jan. J. 1898, nearly
five years, to comply with it's terms. Their
request for an extension of five years
longer would seem TO indicate that they
have made very little effort TO comply with
the law. Considering the hard times that
have prevailed during the last few years
and the cost of the equipment, a reasona-
bic extension of time may be justified, but
an extension of five years would look like
trifiing with the law. One of the labor lead
ers who addressed the commission said:
During the past five years 1900 railroad
men have been killed annually and between
5000 and 5000 injured. OF these casual
ties 60 per cent. were directly attributable
to the two evils this law was designed to
correct" He said, further, that during the
last five years the various beneficial asso-
Citations of railroad employees had paid in
death and disability claims $2,O00,0OO Such
facts as these are very strong arguments
in favor of enforcing the safety-applianee
law as soon as practicable

the Kentucky when it was launched. Petit

HENRY GEORGE MARRIED.
Quietly Welded to Miss Marie Hitch
at Chicago Yesterday.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-The marriage of Miss
Marie Hitch, daughter of Capt. e. v.
Hitch, formerly of New Orleans, and Mr..
Henry George, jr., son of the late Henry
George, of New York, was celebrated to-
day at the home of the brides father, No.
255 Ontario street. The wedding was
quiet one owing to the recent death of Mr..
Georges father. Only the most intimate
friends and relatives witnessed the cere-
mony, which was performed by Rev. John
Rust, of the Militant Church. The bride,
who was simply but handsomely gowned
in white silk and lace, was attended by
her sister, Miss Gilmore Hitch, as maid of
honor, and the groom was attended by MIR.
Ralph Crawford of New York, as best
man. A wedding breakfast was served,
after which Mr.. and Mrs. George left for
Washington. Mrs. and Miss George.
mother and sister of the groom, were
among the wedding guests
The young couple first met during the
worlds fair. although the families had been
intimate for years. The mountaineering
resumed when Henry George, jr., came
West during last years presidential cam
paign to make speeches for W. J. Bryan,
and this summer while Miss Hitch was
visiting Mr.. and Mrs. George IL New York,
the engagement was announced. The we'd
ding was to have taken place week ago,
but the sudden death of Mr. Georges father
during the heat of the New York may
orally campaign caused u postponement
until to-day.

A Gibson hook.

London, as seen by Charles Dana Gibson
the artist, is shown in series of drawings
mostly in pen and ink, reproduced in beau
tiful style and in full size, by Charles Scrib-
ner's Sons. He gives glimpses of London
streets, London parks, London audiences
and London drawing rooms. He has es-
capped somewhat from the domination of
that aggressive young American, "Gibson's
Girl" though his English girls show
curious resemblance to each other. This
fact is explained by his statement that
young Eng .ishwomen. meaning those of the
upper class, all bear a family likeness. He
is admirable in the delineation of types of
character, and his policemen, his street
loafers, his coachmen, park orators, states
men and the rest carry convincing evidence
that he has drawn them from life. These
pictures, with the artist 5 brief comment ac-
companying, tell q story quite as effective
as a volume of elaborate verbal description
might be. The collection makes a portfolio
valuable for its historic as well as its artis-
tic merit. 1t is one of the handsomest and
most elaborate of the holiday publications.

Whatever else may be in doubt regarding
our future currency one thing is certain,
and that is that the Democratic party will
do all in it's power to destroy the national
bank system. 1t will do this partly from
pure cussedness," because the system is
the best the country has ever had, and
therefore obnoxious to a party that is con-
trolled by it's destructive elements, and
partly because the system is by name and
nature national. Just when or from what
quarter the attack will come remains to be
seen, but it will come as certainly as the
Democratic party maintains its organiza-
ton. The friends of a sound national bank
system and a uniform currency should rec
ognize this fact and be prepared for the at
tack when it comes. The present national
bank law may not be perfect, but it has
given tho country by far the best bank
ing system and currency it has ever had,
and in so far as it is defective it can easily
be amended. The people should never con-
sent to it's repeal until something better is
offered in exchange for it, and it is quite
certain the Democratic party will never do
that

One of the main questions at issue be-
tween those who favor and those who op-
pose currency reform is whether the paper
currency of the country should be issued
directly by the government or through the
agency and machinery of banks under gov
eminent control; in other words, whether
the government should engage in the bank
ing business itself or simply regulate it in
the interest and welfare of the people. The
question is fundamental and affects other
countries and governments as well as ours
All except the United States have settled
the question against the policy of issuing
circulating notes by the government. In
the respect that the greater part of our
present paper currency was issued directly
by act of Congress it stands unique among
the currencies Of the world. Other legisla-
tive bodies in past times have issued cir
culating notes, bills of credit or promises to
pay as the Continental Congress before
and during the revolutionary war, and the
French Assembly of 1881 in the issue of
assignats but no other legislative body has
done so in recent times except Congress,
and there is no money of that kind at pres
ent in any other country but this. A fnan-
cial policy that has been condemned and
discarded by all other civilized govern
ments should at least be regarded with sus-

ROBBED OF $454,985.
Chicago Defrauded by Unauthorized
Reductions in Water Rates.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-The preliminary re-

Harper, from May l. 1895, to April so, 1897,
an aggregate of $i54,9S5 was made in de-

out any apparent reason or authority. 1t

The Dingley law was terribly handi-
capped at first by the excessive importa-
tions made under the Wilson law, but it is
getting on it's feet" sooner than was eX-
pected by most people, and will soon be
giving an excellent account of itself In
comparing it with the Wilson law as
revenue producer it must be remembered
that the latter came into operation with
the warehouses and shelves of the country
empty, awaiting large imports under the
reduced tariff rates which it offered, while
the Dingley law came into operation with
conditions exactly reversed. Yet the duties
collected under the first four months of the
Dingley law have been $S0,S4S,0OO, as against
$SS, 600 under the first four months of the
Wilson law. The Dingley law is all right.

The receiver of taxes is an important
office in Philadelphia, and the man who has
been holding it for some time is being hard
pushed. His friends ask for votes on the
ground that he is an eX-soldier, whereupon
the Times presents his military record,
which shows that he was first dismissed
from the service for engaging in a mutiny
and, enlisting again, was arrested and tried
for desertion. He was found guilty of a
lesser offense and deprived of his pay. Even
thirty-two years after the war it is not safe
to claim to have been a soldier without an
affirmative record to sustain it.
