The election of the Advance Prophet
of Prosperity does not seem to have
the effect of stopping the failures
throughout the United States. Banks,
corporations, mercantile concerns,
manufactures, and everybody else
seem to be tumbling into the dirt in the
same old ratio as they did before this
advance agent" got here. We sup
pose it is possibly due to the continue
tion in Office of Mr.. Cleveland, and
when Mr.. Mckinley gets full control
there will be a change. At least we
will hope for the best and pray that
everything may not go to pieces be,
fore the 45h day of March.

carry out all it's promises. Those who
fought for the free coinage of silver
and W. J Bryan fought only for the
good of the country, and if the R9pub-
lican party can bring about that,

the Dime Savings Bank of that city.
Winter is just setting in and employ
ment may not be constant. Some in
fact have little employment in the
winter season. They can't get their
money, what are they to dot If the
banks were run by the government
there would be no such thing as bank
suspensions Now and then a govern
ment bank might meet with heavy
loss but others would be profitable and
upon the whole the business would pay
big. II in some city there should be g
sudden demand for a large amount of
the deposits, money could be supplied
from other banks. There could be no
such thing as a bank failure or suspen-
sion. Another thing, government
banks would come pretty close to doing

BURSTING BANKS, VS.. GOVERN

Millions of dollars of the rich and

days. In a great city like Chicago all
that stands bet veen many and want is
a small sum deposited in a bank, says
the Missouri World.
Real estate is so high there the labor
ing people cannot own their homes.
Neither can they as a rule rent a house
with a garden lot, so as to ne able to
raise a garden and keep a COW. Friends
in distress there are none in the great
cities. Appeals for help are so com
mon that those who could and would
help if the calls only occasional
as in the rural districts, must steel
their hearts against them. The aver,

CON wITHraE DANCE"

Five hundred dollars wouldn't go
very far towards the education of the
children of. the State, and we suggest
that it be spent upon the ball" This
is a statement made by the Charlotte
Observer and copied in many papers.
1t was made in view>of the fact that
the Governor elect has sensibly decided
to dispense with the usual Inauguration
CLAP trap" The ball has always been
paid for by private contributions. But
the State has been in the habit Of ap.
propriating $500 for the inauguration.
The point We desire to make is this,
that $500 will run four schools four
months; and four schools four months
will reach 200 children. This may not
be going very far; but it is better than
going into s'clap trap."-Bibiicai Re
