Total

Your committee is Of the opinion that this
amount could be realized if the bank stays
In the hands of an assignee and its assets
are turned into cash in a reasonable and
careful business manner. Should the realiza-
ton of the assets be done in a hasty man
ner the result might be quite different. We
are convinced that no depositor would want
to impose any hardships the debtors Of
the bank, in most instances our nefghbors
and friends, The item of assets, may be
changed if the court, which has the matter
in charge, decides that the deposits made the
last day shall be returned. This would re-
duce the cash on hand 1885,
and will be paid fnhfull out of the bank s
funds, reducing the assets $3,655.93. The ex-
penses connectedoEwith the winding UP Of
the bank by anoRssignee will be about 10
another $1,000 to-, be deducted. The assets
to be divided among the depositors, there
fore, would be ls46, 50, putting the LA
bilities at $74 1886.
What may be frealized if the bank con-
tinues in business. is9 another question. We
do not think it Proper for this committee to
feel confident that, if the bank is reopened
on a substantial basis {S25, 900 would, in our
opinion, be sufficient guarantee), cut
of the assets at leastEevery cent owed to de-
positors can be paid in full. We further
believe that the West side needs a bank
ing institution, and every business man
if it is built on aIsolid foundation and right
ly managed. - ~T
In regard to the management of the bank
in former years. we find that the largest part
of all bills receivable were in existence more
than three years, at least longer than the
last management (Mr. Stap1es). We learn
from this gentleman that when he took
charge of the bank he found most of the
notes without security or any collateral. In
regard to the loans made in the last two
years we find that all of them have been
made on frst-class security and to respon-
sible parties, and in our opinion the man
agement for the past two years was con-
sentative and honest, promoting and pro-
tecting the interests of all parties interested
in the welfare Of the institution. Regarding
the stockholders, your committee is not able
to make any report, as it was impossible to
set any reliable information about them.

But while these figures were right as to
face value. the committee had to make some
changes in order to obtain the actual pro-
portion of assets and liabilities. For in,
stance, from the amount due from banks
had to be deducted the amount due to banks.
From the amount Of bills receivable must

Your committee appointed with instructions
to obtain all information as to the condition
OF the bank, after conferences with the bank
officials, assignee and his attorney, have
learned from them the history Of all items

THE WOODS CASE.

Comment by the Secretary Of the Civil
Service Reform Association.
Speaking to Star reporter today about
the suit instituted by Mr.. Woods against
the Postmaster General and his first assist
ant, Mr.. F. L. Siddors, secretary Of the
local Civil Service Reform Association,
said that the case did not present a very
pleasant spectacle, for it places the Post
master General in the position of attempt
ing to ignore or evade the rules recently
promulgated by the President respecting
the removal from office of persons within
the classified service. The evidence of
President McKinley's good faith in the ad-
ministration of the civil service law is
found in these recent rules and yet in lit
tie more than month after the rules are
made we see one Of his cabinet officers
making a determined effort to disregard
them. This is bad enough, but if the first
assistant postmaster general, Mr.. Heath
is correctly reported in the New York Sun
of the Sth instant. his interview makes the
matter a great deal worse, for in that in
terview he serves notice on all those per-
sens whom he may determine to remove
as he is attempting to remove Mr. Woods
with a threat that II they attempt to con-
test the right of the department to dispose
of them as 1t .seesafit, they will be dis
missed for characterization, anyway It
seems to me that this is outrageous and
deserves the condemnation of every right
thinking man." -

Illinois Republicans Resolve to Con.
tinue as Political Organization.
The Illinois Republican Association de-
c.ded by a unanimous vote last evening to
continue as a political organization. Pres
ident McKinleys order that no one in the
government service chould be removed ex-
cept for cause was issued just before the
meeting Of the organization August g. 1t
caused much dissatisfaction among a por-
ton Of the members. who, in consequence,
expressed determination to discontinue
that organization as a political body. They
argued that the Presidents order stood in
the way Of rewards for political service.
Instead Of carrying out that purpose, the
association adopted a series of resolutions.
submitted by committee composed Of
Geo G Ross. L. B. Cotter and o. J. Rick
tits, which were intended to refute the
statement extensively published that this,
the Oldest republican association in the Dis
trict Of Columbia, Is about to disband, in
some cases the announcement being ac-
companied by the statements that the asso-
citation Is composed of office-holders, who
are banded together for the purpose of con-
trolling appointments and promotions in the
departments In their own interests and
who, being unable to break down or evade
the civil service law, have no reason for
Keeping up their organization.
During the thirty years the association
mas been in existence, it was stated, 1t
mas never Endorsed one of its members by
resolution or otherwise. for any office, but
mas held to the object stated in its consti-
tuition: ITO advance the interests of the
republican party by all proper means" De-
sirlng TO set the organization right in re-
gard to the matter, it was resolved that it
pc continued along the lines laid down in
It's constitution, and that the president of
the association be specially designated to
consult and cooperate with the various re-
publican clubs of the city. with view of
securing ssrn Gun united action by the republican
associations of the several states, located
fere, on questions vital to the interests and
WeIIare OF TIE republican party.
