Comptroller Eckles, in a speech
made recently before the Bankers
Association, said: 'EIfhave never in
the past wavered in the belief, nor do
1 now, that in the end we will be pos
sessed of banking and currency sys-
tenn so strong as to make impregna-
BILE the country's credit. 1t is possi-
BILE that before the nations financial
structure rests upon a foundation
firm as the eternal hills, the American
people will be called upon to pass
through the awful experience and
loss which would follow in the wake
of unchecked paper and silver fiatism.
But at last, no matter how prolonged
the struggle or great the sufferings,
with the acquiescence of all, the mon
etary principles which accord with
the worlds business experience, fl
nancial research and every dictate of
common honesty, will here prevail in
complete and enduring triumph"

nary to the preparation of a project
for dry docks to be submitted to Con-
gress at the next session. The neces-
sity which compelled the Indiana to
go to Halifax to be docked has arous-
ed the Navy Department to the i'm
portance Of having a system of docks
which can be utilized for any of the
war vessels. There have been many
attempts in the past to secure better
docking facilities for the naval YES
sells, but so far they have not been
successful. Several plans for the
building of large docks at different
naval stations have been proposed,
but none have yet been found satis-
factory. 1t is expected that the re-
commentator for more docks and
the urgent necessity Of two Or more
capable Of holding the largest battle
ships will be set out in the project to
be submitted to Congress by the

A board of officers has been ap-
pointed to meet in Washington,D O.,
for the purpose of considering the
question of the location and distribu-
ton of the present force of the ar
tillery arm in the care and preserva-
ton of the seacoast armament and
material. With respect to the group
of batteries forming the defense of
each harbor, or of the harbors contig-
uous, the board. will indicate the size
and location of the garrison that
should be provided, and with respect
to the separate batteries that belong
to the group, the number of men re-
quired as guards and caretakers at
each. If the War Department. is not
already possessed of the requisite
land for garrison uses, the area and
site required at each place will be in
dicated.

Experts estimate that the silver
bullion in the Treasury vaults is
worth at least So, 100000 less than
the Government gave for 1t. There
ar numerous lessons which can be
drawn from this estimate. The Gov
ernment would have done better if
it had speculated in wheat; but
speculation, even in metal, is too
risky for national Government.

@. A. r. ENCAMPMENT.

The G.. A. r. Encampmentl last week
is said by the Buffalo papers to be
grander than any of the thirty that
have preceded it. Next year the Gin
cinnati papers will say the same of
the 32d encampment. Each one, SO
far, according to the papers has been
better than any of the rest. 1t
isn't at all likely that there were as
many old soldiers at Buffalo, as were
at Washington or Boston, but there
were enough that joined the parade
to make more than respectable
showing. One Buffalo paper estimated
the number at $4,000. The lowest
estimate was $4,000. The procession
started at about 10 o'clock Wednes-
day, and it must have been near
o'clock when the last division broke
ranks. The crowd of onlookers was
estimated to be nearly half a mill
ion. There were 10000 soldiers at
Camp Jewett, many Of them, as well
as many of those quartered elsewhere,
that did not join the parade, probably
O,OOO in all. The sidewalks, and win
dows and housetops and stands and
every available inch of space along
the two miles of the route were liter
ally packed with mass of men,
women and children, all waving flags,
handkerchiefs and hats and shouting
themselves hoarse, with their cheers
for the soldiers as they passed down
the line. President Mckinley and
Mrs. Mckinley, secretary of war
Alger and Gov. Black occupied a
prominent place on the reviewing
stand and all had an opportunity to
see these, as we'll as many other cele-
brated persons. The sky was clear
and there was cool gentle breeze
from morning till night. The decora-
tions were beautiful, many of the
buildings and arches being almost hid
den with flags and bunting. The peo-
pie of Buffalo outdid themselves in
their effort to do honor to the veter-
ans and make their stay pleasant.
The Buffalo girls had picked tons of
posies and some of the way the path
was strewn with flowers. The Presi-
dent addressed the soldiers at Music
Hall, but those that heard him were
as a drop in a bucket compared with
those who did not, as no hall could
hold more than a small fraction of
those present.
Gen. J. P. S. Goblin, of Lebanon,
Penn, was chosen commander-in-
chief.
Italy is experimenting with new
rifle which it is claimed will shoot
eighty shots minute without remov-
ing it from the shoulder. If this
proves true and it is adopted by the
Italian government the other .coun-
tries of Europe will have to spend
thousands of dollars re-arming their
troops. The condition of affairs in
Europe requires each government to
keep it's armies supplied with the
most modern arm possible. It will
not do for any of the larger powers to
allow the smaller ones to be better
armed than they, for it is not
known when war may come and
when it comes it cannot last long and
the better armed and trained armies
will win.

This is just the time for the gold
mine swindler to prosper. The peo-
pie in some sections are crazy with
excitement and ready to believe any
thing that they are told, and these
people are just the ones for the man
with the newly discovered mine to
rake in a rich harvest from. Re-
member that riches do not come to
us without exertion on our part and
beware of the man with the gold mine.

England is having trouble with the
natives in India and she is obliged to
concentrate large number of troops
on the frontier in order to keep pos
session of the forts along that line.
The natives will not come out and
fight in the open but they attack iso-
lated places and fight where they can
be favored by great superiority in
point of numbers. It is hard to send
an army to punish them because they
will go into the mountains where they
cannot be reached and but little harm
can be done them. If they can once
be brought to where they will be
obliged to meet the English troops in
open battle they will learn lesson
which will not soon be forgotten.

Russia is spreading herself to make
the visit of President Faure of France
as pleasant as possible. 1t seems as
if the people of France would see
that all tha5fthe Gar wants of their
friendship is to help him along in his
plans and that he is not willing to
give them anything in return. When
ever the Czar needs money he goes
to France and raises a loan there;
France is almost an echo to the Gear
on all European questions and the
French people seem to think that
they are fortunate in having such a
friend. There is no doubt that the
Russian nation would make a strong
ally, but as it now appears Russia and
France are only allies only SO far as it
benefits Russia, when it comes to
backing France where there is to be
no gain to them they will not be found
on hand.

Georgia, were designated as trustees to
carry out the conditions of this clause Of
John McLearns will, but there is no ,vi-
dence that any of these trustees ever ac-
cepted the trust. That portion of the pro-
ceeds from the property which was to go
to the education of the negroes was de-
posted in the Royal Bank of Scotland,
where it was to be held subject to the
call of the educational authorities of Geor-
gia. After the death of McLearn, about
1882, and the disposition of the Georgia
property, the whole matter appears to
have been forgotten.
During the administration of Hon S.
D. Bradwell as state school commissioner,
few years ago. a marked copy of the
Glasgow News was sent to the "superin-
tendent of Georgia" containing a notice
to the effect that this money in the Royal
Bank of Scotland at Glasgow was to be
divided among the heirs Of John McLearn,
unless the state of Georgia should file a
claim for the amount.
Commissioner Bradwell at once entered
into communication with the United states
consul at Glasgow, and through him the
proper claim was filed. After this there
followed much correspondence over the
matter, and a suit in the Scotch courts,
in which the state of GeOr-
gia and McLearns heirs were
the parties at interest. A long
contest resulted in the decree that the
money. after deducting the costs of court
etc, was the property of the state OF
Georgia, to be expended under the direc-
ton of its department of education.
The better portion of the fortune SEEM
ed then within the grasp of Georgia's edu-
cational authorities, and Commissioner
Bradwell was putting forward every effort
to secure it. The amount was drawn from
the bank and placed in the hands of a re-
ceiver, who was to receive a certain per-
centage of it for his services. The re-
ceiver, however. concluded that his services
were worth more than the court would
probably allow him, and he undertook to
fix his own fee by taking the whole
amount. After making away with the bet
ter part of it he attempted to leave the
country and embarked on
ship for South America. He was ar
rested, however, before he got out of the
country, convicted of the crime Of grand
larceny, and transported to Botany bay
When the balance of the money was re-
covered from the thief there was scarcely
enough of 1t left to be recognized. Al any
rate a check was sent from Glasgow
few months ago for 1887. The commits
sioner Of the Georgia Industrial College
made application to the state board of ed
ucation for the amount, and recently the
check was placed at the disposal of the
commissioners to be used as they say fit.
The commissioners of the colored college
decided to buy a library with the amount
or as much of a library as it was possible
to purchase, and that library has just been
ordered. 1t will be composed, as stated
of books relative to subjects which are
taught at the college, for study and for
reference. Within a few days 1t IS ex-
pected this library will be available Tor
the use of the students
