COMPARISON OF RESULTS.
"Before closing allow me to make a
possible comparison of results. There
are about one thousand millions of
state, county and city bonds on the
market. If they were all used for basis
for paper currency at per cent. inter-
est, in fifty years the government
would receive one thousand five hun
dred millions of dollars of interest, and
would have redeemed all the green
backs and one hundred and fifty mill
ions of national bank currency Who
for an instant fails to see the superior
ity of a system of paper money, that
will bring to the government in fifty
years one thousand five hundred mill
ions profit, to one that will change our
greenbacks to bonds, which, even at
per cent, would cost the government
seven hundred millions in fifty years
| for the benefit of the banks that issue
| them?
But the benefit of this bill to the
| general government is only small item
| compared with the benefit to the peo-
| pie of a system of finance that Will al
| ways supply them with plenty of the
| best currency in the world, at Il reason
| able rate of interest. The fact that We
have about fifty billions of capital in
vested as productive capital. expecting

I mare of depression on all our indus
tries. This plan would restore perfec

tennial eisteddfod at Philadelphia and
Wilkes Barre several years ago. Mr..
Jones is now a resident of Washington
Territory.
The disposition on the part of music
committees of some of the city
churches to cut down expenses is to be
deplored. In the matter of excellent
music for church worship Scranton has
for many years stood in the first rank,
and backward step in this matter is
a cause for universal regret. The time
has passed when q church of recog-
nized standing can be content with the
old volunteer choir system under
which one soprano and five bass sing
erS or perhaps six sopranos and one
alto would furnish musical inspiration
at church service, A paid choir is now
demanded, whose members can be de-
pei ded upon at all times. 1t has been
a source OF pleasure also in the past to
note that the people who think singers
and organists should offer their SER
vices gratis for the good of the cause,
have been in the background. There
IS no just reason why a singer who has
spent money and time in voice culture
and expects to gain q livelihood by
singing, should be asked TO donate to
q church his or her source of revenue
by singing for nothing. II is to be
hoped that the spirit Of retrenchment
will not prevail to any great extent in
| the Scranton churches. Good music is
| something that cannot be spared in
! church worship.

Just where Mr.. Casey obtained his large
sums OF money for campaign purposes is not
known but there are citizens Of Pawnee City
who firmly believe that the money came out
OF the state treasury.
ACTION BY THE BANK.
Regarding Mr.. Casey's connection with
the bank A. b. Edee, who succeeded Casey
as president, said to representative OF
The Bee at Pawnee City few days ago:
1.-THE Farmers National bank handled no
state money last fall nor none that I recall
now since my connection with II. II is true
that after Mr. Casey'a defeat last fall 1t be-
came known that he had lost considerable
money. A story to the effect that he had
used the banks funds for political purposes
was started by some OF our competitors for
the purpose of njuring our bank. In order
to reassure the people OF the integrity and
safety OF the bank the directors thought
well to remove Mr.. Casey from all connection
with the banks affairs. This was done at
the annual meeting in January. Another
reason for the change was that MT. Casey
had long been indebted to the bank He
owed the bank S5,f00, but this debt existed
owed the bank s5,400, but this has no con-
nection with Mr.. Casey's political misfor-
tunes. This indebtedness is more than COW
cred by certain property that belonged to
Mr.. Casey, and which the bank took posses
sion of when the change in the bank officers
was made"
j. T. Trenery, cashier OF the Farmers
National bank, said: "Our bank has not a
cent of the states money. and has not had
since I've been connected with It, l have
been cashier for the past four years, aud
before that Mr.. A. b. Edee was cashier. /
know that there never has been any state
money deposited as such In the bank while
have been cashier, and Mr. Edee has told
you that none was handled while he oc-
cupled that position
81 know nothing about Mr.. Casey's political
affairs. If he received any money from
BARLEY 1t was a personal loan, and never
passed through our bank. AT the beginning
of the campaign, desiring to have the banks
affairs kept out Of politics, l went to Mr..
Casey and told him that no campaign funds
OF his could be handled by the bank, and
that II he was to receive and dsburse any
campaign funds 1t must be through some
other channel than the Farmers National
bank So far as my knowledge extends this
was done for no such funds went through
our bank
'As Mr. Edee has told YOU, Mr.. Casey
owed the bank some money. This is more
than covered by the property of Mr. Casey
that tho bank holds. The property includes
a farm and a half interest in ifty-four build
ing lots here. Some OF these have already
been sold" "

it will involve an outlay of from $2,000,000

KILLS OFF WOMAN SUFFRAGE

LINCOLN, March 25--(Special.)- SEN
ate by a decisive vote this afternoon refused
to give further consideration to the proposal
to extend the right of suffrage to women.
The matter came up in the form of recon-
mendation from the sitting committee that
senate file No. 4S, the bill granting municipal
suffrage to women, be made a special order
for next Tuesday evening at o'clock. The
recommendation provoked a discussion brief,
but none the less animated Senator Haller
of Washington said that the house had al
ready efectually disposed of the female suf-
frage question. He declared that the house
could not at this late day be compelled to
swallow what it had already refused to- The
populsts under the lead of Graham and
Mutz made a gallant fight to save the bill,
but they were outvoted. The senate by a
vote of Is to IL refused to adopt the recon-
mendation of the sitting committee. Several
senator's quietly left the hall just before
the vote was taken, and a call of the house
was ordered to compel them to return and
vote. After the doors had been closed for
some time, however, the attempt was given
up and they were opened. The vote in favor
of making the bill a special order was in
detail as follows:

BOSTON, March 25.-The steamer on
tario, which arrived here from London to-
day, brought into port twenty-seven men.
comprising the crew of the British ship
Androsa, Captain Morgan, which was
abandoned at sea, March s. 500 miles west
of Falmouth. Eng. The Androsa left San
Francisco October 2S last year for London.
She sprung leak in furious storm be-
came unmanageable and was abandoned.
The greater number of the rescued were
well nigh helpless from exhaustion when
taken from the Androsa. and they had been
working at the pumps and at iettisoning
the cargo for days and nights without in
termssion. Several times during the battle
with tho elements, men dropped from their
places and were carried below by their
comrades, and after resting they would
drag themselves back to the deck to again
engage in the work, even though in some
cases they could not get upon their feet
and worked while on their knees. After the
rescue most of the men had to be put to
bed on board the steamer, but they are
now fairly well and will probably be re-
turned to Liverpool by steamer this week
by the British consul, Stuart.
