as to what they could do with their
surplus real estate. The big wheat
crop and consequent prosperity have
solved the question. The bankers
have been able to dispose OF nearly all
their surplus real estate holdings at
good figures and this has made the
impairment Of theirinstitutions good.
But the bankers are not the ooly ones
that have sold property. Many east
ern companies which took in vast
amounts of property on mortgages
are disposing Of their lands.

CREDIT FOR FARMERS.
Continuance OF Present Conditions q
Distinct Hardship to Agriculture.

Continuance OF Present Conditions q
Distinct Hardship to Agriculture.
We have lately given some accounts of
the operation of agricultural banks in
Europe, which have done very much for
the farming class by making it possible
for it to secure loans on such security
as farmers can offer. The farmer is
especially in need of credit, for the in
terval must always be considerable be-
tween the preparation OF the SOIL and
the harvesting of the crop. He must
spend money a long time before he
can get any back. AS to most of his
products, he may be said TO be carry
ing on a business where he stock IL
turned over but once a year. Further
more, as a crop natures all over the
country at the same season, and gener-
ally within a period of few weeks, it's
particularly important to the farmer
that he should not be compelled to re
alize on his harvests Immediately. He
would break the market if he were
obliged to sell all his crops as soon as
gathered, and yet he must sell good
deal, for he has been under expense for
months without any income.
While the farmer more than almost
any other producer needs credit, he
cannot generally. offer commercial Sc
curity, and real estate is not good
security for ordinary banks of discount
to take, and it is unlawful for our ma
tional banks to accept it. The result
is that the farmer is usually compelled
to sell his produce at an unpropftlous
time or to get credit of merchants and
private bankers for which usurious
rates are obtained. In this country
there has been practically no effort to
supply this need for agricultural cred
it's, although the brokers and private
bankers and factors who have made
a practice of lending to farmers have
made q great deal of money out of it,
for the absence of competition enables
them to get aahigh rate for money, and
the farmer pretty generally pays his
debts.
1t is singular that in our own coun-
try no effort has been made to afford
agriculture in general the capital it
needs for the improving of land and
for carrying on farm operations during
the long intervals between the annual
marketing of crops. The changed CON
ditions of the times make it imperative
that farming must be conducted upon
more scientific principles so as to get
out of the land more than it has here
.tofore produced. and that necessity:
leaves no alternative but either to afford
the farmer enlarged credit facilities or
20 leave the present landowners to be
frozen out by insolvency, with the re-
suit of transferring this industry to
aclass possessing ampler and able
to cultivate larger farms upon improved
methods. Journal of Commerce and
Commercial Bulletin.

Retire Legal Tender Notes.

The fear of contraction has good
deal to do with the very common oppo-
sition to the policy Of retiring the legal
tender notes, but there is no sufficient
ground for it. No one HIS sugge sisted
any process Of retirement that would
not be gradual, and the process would
necessarily be spread over several
years. though the beneficial results Of
the policy would begin to be felt at
once. An act Of congress providing for
the retirement Of the notes would es-
tablish confidence at home and abroad
in the discrimination and the ability Of
our government to prevent Q repetition
OF the panic OF 1893 and it's ensuing ills
that would be of marked benefit to the
country, and all the advantages of a
sound currency system would be ex-
perienced long before the last of the
legal tender notes had disappeared.
Our large volume OF paper currency
has tended to keep gold out of the coun-
try, and with the diminution of notes
the ordinary forces of trade would send
gold this way.-Iron Age

Weyler,s Paper Promises.

Our "greenbackers" should rejoice
over the fact that another paper money
experiment is being tried. eff green
backs put down the rebellion in the
United States. why shouldn't they prove
effective weapons against Cuban
rebels?" reasons Gen. Weyler, who is
flooding the coast towns of Cuba with
artistically engraved promises to pay
on one side of a piece Of paper and a
picture Of well-developed tobacco
plant on the other side.
The experiment Is bound to be sue
cessful, for the notes are made legal
tender in the worst way. Any shop
keeper who refuses to accept these
promises for their face value Is subject
to instant imprisonment in jails where
confinement means almost certain
death. OF course under the circum-
stances the notes are accepted. Weyler,
however, forgot to decree that prices
should not be raised, and the Cuban
shopkeepers are mean enough to try to
defeat the experiment by raising prices.
So far they have only doubled prices,
but esch one - trying to see how high
he can put prices. and the end is not in
sight.
Come to think Of it. high prices, con-
stantly growing higher, have defeated
all past experiments with paper
money. Perhaps Weyler. by correcting
this little defect, may yet demonstrate
that greenbackers are right and that
cheap money, by proper legislation, can
be made just as good as money made
from costly metals. What a boon plenty
Of money would be to mankind! Sue
cess to Weyler's experiment and death
to the traitor who tries to prevent its
success by raising prices or by refus-
ing to accept Weyler's handsome prom
ises.

THE ELECTION RETURNS.

In this city, where there have been many independent political movements, where a good government club exists, and where the gold standard democrats boiled last year almost 4,000 votes for their candidate for mayor, interest in the Greater New York election exceeds that felt in any presidential election for many years, except, perhaps, that of last November. Private parties, club and the newspapers have made arrangements for special wires to get the figures on election night, and in some cases to display them to the pub lie. Much the same intense interest prevails all over the state, some of the back towns even having made plans for receiving the returns. An impress sive feature of the all absorbing ques- ton is the gauntlet of inquiry any one returning or living in New York city must run in the hunt for information as to the great mayoralty contest.
 At the Young Mems Republican club Tuesday evening election returns will be received at their club house, where returns will be received over Western Union wire in charge of a skilled opera tor The Davis family will also give an interesting entertainment.
 At the Grand opera house and at Polls theater the returns will be an nounced.

Hyperion Theater.

Hoyts "A Contented Woman" was
 presented last evening to a small audi
 ence at the Hyperion. The play lack
 ed the dash and vigor which are neces-
 sary to make Hoyts plays success.
 This was due to the company, who were
 cold and stiff for the most part. The
 leading lady, Miss Belle Archer was
 especially so in the first act. The act
 ing of Harry Byers, as the bachelor
 brother, and of Charles P. Morrison, as
 the henpecked husband, were the only
 redeeming features. Miss Bonnie Lot

 BANDA ROSSA CONCERTS. Great interest is already being taken
 in the coming concerts at the Hyperion theater tomorrow afternoon and eve
 uing, November B. by the famous
 Banda Rossa," whose European repu- tation is of the highest grade, and who last week made their first American appearance at the Metropolitan Opera house, New York, where a series of twelve concerts have been given. The
 audiences have been large and enthu- siastic from the start, the Sunday eve- ming concerts October 17-2D being the
 greatest successes ever known in the history of the house, while the applause and cheering was almost continuous. The operatic selections, in which nat urally the band excels, received the
 warmest praise from the New York
 press, and many fine effects are pro- duced under the guidance of the now popular leader, Sorrentiuo. Sale of seats now open. Matinee, 75, 50 and 25 cents. Evening, $1, 75, 50 and 25 cents. SWEET 1NNIsCARRA.
 Chauncey Olcott, the sweet singer and clever actor, and certainly a great | favorite in the larger cities, comes next Friday evening at the Hyperion in his new play, Sweet Inniscarra" Both
 actor and play have scored a most pro-
 nounced hit in every city in which they have appeared. MT. Olcott makes a de- lightful stage picture of masculine grace and charm. He wins his audi ence from the start by the magnetism of his personality. Sale of seats opens
 Wednesday. Regular prices.

DR. NANSEN TONIGHT,
Famous Arctic Explorer Will Lecture at
 Hyperion.

tAECthC 1SApiuEbE VIII Lecture aL
 Hyperion.
 This evening Dr. Nansen, the famous Arctic explorer, will lecture at the Fly perion, and will no doubt be warmly greeted by large and appreciative au- dience.
 The following notice is taken from the Spectator of London:
 LIFE IN THE POLAR NIGHT.
 To those who have read the records of previous Arctic expeditions the story of the "Fram's" winter night will come as a revelation almost passing belief That her leader, with his weight of re- sponsibility, should have experienced intense anxiety could not well be other wise. But this apart. the whole is a marvellous picture of perfect content, of cheerfulness amusement and active oc- cupation. They played cards, they read from the library, they held athletic competitions. They were never in dark ness, thanks to the moon and their cleo tric light. They fitted up windmill on the deck which drove the dynamo.
 we cleared up in the hold to make room for a joiner's workshop down there; our mechanical workshop we had In the engine room. The smithy was first on deck and afterwards on the ice; tinsmith's work was chiefly done in the chart room, shoemaker's and sailmak- CTS and various odds of work in the sa- loon. And all these occupations were carried on with interest and activity during the rest of the expedition. There was nothing, from the most delicate in struments down to the wooden shoes and axe handles, that could not be made on board the Tram When we were found to be short of sounding line grand rope-walk was constructed on the ice"
 The behavior of the Tram under ice pressure was a triumphant vindica- tion of Colin Archer, her designers, genius, and of Nansen's faith in her:
 ''The ice is restless, and has pressed a good deal to-day again. It begins with a gentle crack and moan along the side of the ship, which gradually sounds louder in every key. Now it is high plaintive tone, now it Is a grumble, now it is snarl, and the ship gives a start up. The noise steadily grows till it is like all the pipes of an organ; the ship trembles and shakes and rises by fits and starts, or is sometimes gently lift ed. (She was once lifted ten feetD There is pleasant. comfortable feel ing in sitting listening to all this up- roar and knowing the strength of our ship. Many a one would have been crushed long ago. But outside the ice is ground against our ships sides, the piles of broken-upfloe are forced under her heavy invulnerable hull, and we lie as if in bed"
 They had many passages with bears; Peter Henricksen was bitten in the side by one and drove it off with his lantern, | but this same bear took three of the dogs, for it crept in among them on the | deck unseen.

Death off Mrs. John Cronin.

Mrs Margaret Dannehy Cronin wife of John Cronin of Wallace street, died at her late residence Sunday evening. Mrs Cronin had been i'll with compli- cation of diseases for some time, but her death was surprise to her many friends. '..
 Mrs. Cronin was well known and re- spected by a large circle of friends in this city, and her death, following so closely that of her mother, who passed away one month ago, is especially sad. Besides her husband and four children, the deceased leaves her father, one sis ter and three brothers to mourn her loss.
 The funeral will be held from her home tomorrow morning and later from St. Patrick's church, with requiem high mass.
