1T HAD A STRING TO 1T.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Dear Sir: Relying upon your well-tried
good-naturedness, l venture to couple my
thanks for your kind answer to my previous
communication with another request. Being
prompted by my own interests in the matter.
| took especial pains to follow the course of
the amendments to the Dingley bill, partic-
uiar1y that relating to the tax on imported
books. The press reports which came to my
notice announced that the committee had
been induced to put such books land scientific
instruments) upon the free list as are inn
ported for use in schools and colleges, under
the distinct understanding that such books
shall become part of the library of a college,
Books which are to be sold remain under the
ban Of the rs per cent duty, as | take it.
1 shall be glad to be tod that am laboring
under misrepresentation: l am even willing
to confess to have judged our representatives
too hastily if the text Of the amendment
actually bears out your glad tidings But
II the tax still remains upon books sold to
private persons by an importer, or upon such
books as one may import directly for private
use, must consider my position well taken.
L do not expect you to answer me again
In your columns, unless you find that l have
been correctly informed. No answer to this
letter Will be joyful answer to me. But, on
IN me other hand. believe you will acknowledge
the force or my argument shou closer inscec-
ton OF the amendment in question show you
that my complaint was not based on an
imaginary grievance. 1t is unnecessary to
add that lack the means of verifying either
your positive statement or my own position
IN the premises Yours very respectfully,
j. Schaler.
New Ulm, Mimi. April g. 1897.
We regret to have to say that reli-
ance upon a meager press report of the
action Of the ways and means commit
tee led us to suppose, and so state in
reply to President Schaller's former let
ter, that the tax on books had been
removed by the amendment. It ap-
pears that there was a string attached
to it that leaves the protective feature
still protecting our educational in
situations and individuals who cannot
import the books they desire AS most
such purchases are made of single
copies, the trouble involved in import
ing them is too great and resort is
had to the dealer who imports in guam
titles. He has to pay this % per cent,
and the educator or student has to re-
fund it. 1.-THE slime of the serpent is
over it all'' still.

ARGUED BY BRYAN.
Court Room Crowded to Hear the
Roy Orator.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The supreme court
room and the corridors were crowded today
with spectators, attracted by the appearance
OF Hon. William j. Bryan as counsel in a
case involving the constitutionality of a law
of the state Of Nebraska, known popularity as
the maximum rate case. Mr.. Bryan, in be-
ginning his argument, said that it was unfor-
tunate that there was no established rule by
which the court was to determine what were
reasonable rates. 1t must be presumed how
ever, that legislature in fixing what 1t held
to be reasonable rates acted in good faith.
When he came to discuss the rights of cor
porations, Mr. Bryan became somewhat ora
torical. He said:
If a few corporations can secure monop-
oily and not be governed by the same rules
as others are, then the people are the victims
of those monopolies. The rights of citizens to
reasonable rates are as sacred as those Of
railroads to reasonable profits The court can
not assume that individuals will raise up in
their midst fictitious individual a corpor-
ate parsonage. and endow 1t with rights high
er than those Of the creators"
Mr.. Bryan spoke until o'clock and when
he finished the crowd swept from the court
room with rush.

organization Of the Washington Bank of Min
neapolis. 1t would appear that from their gen
business on May 3, 1893, with the exact state
ment found condensed in this report, Hau-
gen, Johnson & Co.'S bank was capitalized for
SS5 000 and II will be observed that the Wash
ington County bank merely absorbed the as
sets of Haugen, johnson Co., and really did
absorb them without any action of the board
of directors until July g. 1893. They DID bust
ness from May until July IA as the Wash
ington bank with Haugen, Johnson & Co.'s
liabilities
This gives fair idea of the way the Wash
ington was brought into existence, and it is
the opinion Of most of the committee that the
assets at that time were really not worth a
quarter of their face value. The books further
show that money was paid into the bank
it was used by the officers to square their old
debts that at no time was the bank in a
solvent condition.

them at the bank at all.
Mr. Scott asked whether the books as they
are give the true condition of the bank at all
times and whether Mr.. Temple had discoy-
cred anything criminal Mr.. Temples reply
was:
YES in their final statement by the bank
examiner and the statement made at the close
of their final affairs they stated their over
dafts to be about $14 600. They were much
in excess Of that, and it was absorbed in
their savings banks deposit, and their over
drafts in that department showed a reduced
amount of deposits. That is the only thing
/ could say was irregular on the face of it
When the bank closed Dec. 20, Mr.. Haugen' s
overdraft in the savings department was
$4, 132. 80, which overdraft does not appear
IN a general statement Of overdrafts."
Mr.. Wyman-In other words, on the 18th
Of September the officers of that bank swore
to an overdraft of at least s., 900 less than IT

Mr.. Temple-They did not swear. I did
not ask for any sworn statements

length upon the affairs of the Scandal bank
in Minneapolis, and the testimony taken is
quite full as that regarding the other
banks But Mr.. Head said that in all of the
which was so honorable and honest as this
appeared to be- The officers of the Scandal
bank had not, like those Of the other banks
borrowed the assets. The only cause for the
failure Of this bank seemed to be the extra
ordinary faith In real estate values which
the officers had exhibited

A Story of Verdi.

A story is told of Verdi touching his
kindness to those around him. For
some time past he has been staying in
Genoa, at his palace in the Via Andrea
Doria. A few days ago, while out driv
ing, man approached his carriage and
begged to be allowed to speak. The
man turned out to be the director of
an obscure troupe of performers from
Java, who were about to commence a
series of performances at the Alfieri
Theater, Genoa. The director (Signor
Bernard) summoned up sufficient cour-
age to beg the great maestro to attend
a special representation which his
troupe desired to give in his honor.
Verdi accepted the invitation, and i'm
mediately drove to the Alfieri Theater
to which no one but he was admitted.
He listened with great attention to the
primitive orchestra, and watched the
fabrication by the troupe of various
objects. A Java woman offered him a
silk pocket-handkerc as a present
and embroidered it for him in gold in
his presence. Upon leaving the theater
Verdi said to Signor Bernard: Il thank
you infinitely for the pleasant half hour
which you have enabled me to pass,
and / wish good fortune to you all"
The Java troupe were highly delighted
with the honor paid them by the great
est of living Italian composers.-Lon-
