Bryan's Mistaken Policy.

Aren't Bryan and his friends making
q great mistake by continuing the dis
cussion of the silver question at this
time? 1t is nearly four years until the
next presidential election, and the peo-
pie can learn whole lot about silver
and the effect of cheap money upon
wages and savings in four years. They
learned much that Bryan didn't want
them to know during the four short
months of the last campaign. 1t is no.
ticeable that in the states where the ques-
ton was most discussed the MAORI.
ties against Bryan were heavy or his
majorities were Unexpectedly small.
If the silverites will think of the great
amount of work done in the states west
Of Pennsylvania, east of Colorado and
north of Tennessee and reflect upon the
result of the election, they will, if they
are wise and want to win in 1900, con.
clude to drop educational work and to
proceed on some less dangerous line. If
Bryan and his friends would stop talk.
ing about silver for three years, it would
be difficult for the 'goldbugs' to get
people to listen to their convincing argu-
ments If our hard times should unfor-
tunately continue, Bryan might step out
few days before the 1900 election and
say, i told you SO, /" and majority of
the voters, without having given the
matter much thought, might conclude
that perhaps the crime Of 1878" was
responsible for the lack of prosperity.
But if they study the question for four
whole years they will be certain that
neither silver nor any kind of cheap
money ever brought prosperity TO any
country, though they have often brought
hard times. The wage earners will un-
derstand that 16 to is an underhanded
scheme to lower wages and the farmers
tina. they cannot, by Juggling with cheap
money, get any advantage of the rest Of
the world in the matter of prices of farm
products. This educational work must
be stopped short, or the cause of free
silver is lost

the Question of Branch Banks.

If small national banks are to be en-
couraged in the more sparsely settled
portions of the country, the question
arises whether they should be purely
local organizations or branches of the
great metropolitan banks. The old Unit
ed States bank had branches which, by
virtue of their connection with large
central institution, had some advan-
tages over the local banks with which
they competed, but were in more than
one instance the objects Of adverse state
legislation This spirit of local hostility
to bank located in another city, and
perhaps another state, left memories
which still survive and which account
in part for the opposition to branch
banks.
But the experience Of England and
Scotland, Canada and Australia, is
strongly and uniformly in favor of large
central banks with many branches. The
banks of Canada are able to maintain
singular uniformity in the rates of in
terest i'll the great commercial centers
and i'll the remote agricultural regions
because the banks of Montreal and To-
ronto have their branches in Manitoba
and the Pacific region and can transfer
the surplus capital of one locality to
meet the deficiency in another as it can
not be done by wholly independent
banks. The conditions in Canada are
very much like those of the United
States, and the success Of the Canadian
banks in doing what we recognize the
Importance of having done is entitled to
great weight in our considerations. In
Scotland it is we'll known that the
branch system has greatly favored those
agricultural interests which III our own
country are so much i'll need Of financial
accommodation.
The preponderence Of financial testi-
mony is decidedly in favor of the branch
system, most of the opposition to which
comes, or would come, from local finan-
cial interests. jealous of strong outside
competition. There is a feeling of dis
trust of all banks which is born of ig-
norance. 1t increases rapidly with the
increase of bank 5 capital and the ex-
tension of its operations which are sup
posed to prove the bank to be monop-

EX|LES DAMAGE SUIT.
THE STAND TAKEN BY THE AT
TORNEYS.
No Case Like 1t for Some Centuries
Hearing Went From Vancouver to
England and Back Again.

John Campbell, a prominent attor-
ney of Vancouver, b. c., is among the
arrivals at the Baldwin, says late
Call. Mr.. Campbell is of the firm of
Wilson & Campbell, who have just won
a legal victory that is being talked
about all over the world. 1t involved
the case of the Hawaiian eXiles, James
Cranstoun, Mueller and j. tombstone,
the latter of San Francisco, who two
years ago were deported from Homo
lulu on the British steamship Warri-
moo.
Mr.. Campbell and his partner, to
whom these cases were taken by the
eXiles, maintained that the owners of
the Warrimoo were liable for dam
ages on the ground that they had i'm
prisoned and carried away these men
against their will. Principles were in
volved in the case that have been
called up but two or three times in 800
years.
1--WE maintain" said Mr.. Campbell,
'that the owners of the Warrimoo had
no right to bear part in carrying
away these men. because when the
ship had got three miles off shore the
limit of the Hawaiian territory was
reached and the Warrimoo was under
British law. In taking these men they
really made of the Warrimoo a prison.
The men could not jump overheard.
They must preserve their lives. So
they were forcibly carried to another
country.
"Suit was therefore brought against
the Warrimoo for $4,000 damages in
each case. We first brought the suit
before a single Judge and he nonsuit-
ed us on the ground that there was
no cause of action. Then we appealed
to the bench of full Judges of the
province of British Columbia. They
decided there was cause of action
and from that an appeal was taken to
the Privy Council of England, where
eminent English lawyers advised that
Ine UeclSlOnS OF Une courts III DGlllSn
Columbia were correct. \ new trial
was then had and the jury found a
verdict in favor of James Cranstoun,
whose case was the first to be heard
The other two cases being exactly sim
liar were dependent upon this case
and the end with them will necessar-
lily be the same.
From the fact that there have only
been two or three similar causes of ac-
ton in about 800 years, the trial of
those cases has been looked upon with
unusual interest. They are destined to
figure in the annals of the law to the
remotest time"

Pretty and Picturesque as Girls and State.
ly as Young Mothers.

Pretty and Picturesque as Girls and State.
ly as Young Mothers.
"The Pueblo Indian women are often
very pretty as girls, and some of them
make stately young mothers" writes
Hamlin Garland in Ladies' Home Jour
nal. "They work generally in groups of
three or four, cooking, whitewashipg,
weaving or painting pottery. They seem
to have good deal to chatter about,
and their smiling faces are very agree
able. They have most excellent white
teeth. Their ceremonial dress is very
picturesque, especially the costume of
the Acoma and Isleta girls. All burdens
are carried by the women of Acoma,
Isleta and Laguna upon the head, and
they have, in consequence, magnifi-
cent carriage even late in life. The old
women of Walpi, on the contrary, are
bent and down looking. They carry
their burdens on their backs slung in a
blanket. The girls of Isleta wear light
cloth over their heads, Spanish fashion,
and manage it with fine grace and CO.
quetry.
1.-THE everyday dress of the Hopi
women consists of a sort of kilt, which
is wrapped around the hips and fastened
with belt, modification of the blan-
ket or wolf skin. Above this sort of
sleeveless chemise partly covers the
bosom. Their hair is carefully tended,
but is worn in an ungraceful mode by
some of the women. The women of
Hano cut the hair in front square across
about to the line of the lips, while the
back hair is gathered into a sort of
billet. The front hair hangs down over
the faces, often concealing one eye. The
unmarried women in Walpi wear their
hair in a strange way. They coil it into
two big disks just above their ears,
the intent being to symbolic their
youth and promise by initiating the
squash flower; the matrons correspond
ingly dress their hair to symbolic the
ripened squash. Some of the maidens
are wonderfully japanese in appear.
