HEALTHY REPORT.
Long Delayed Prosperity Has Made It's Appearance. According to the Finan-
 cier-Expanse in Loans.
New York. July s.-The Finaneler says

New York. July 3.-The FHnaneier says:
 The statement of the associated banks of New York city in the week endlng July 3, confirms the fact that the prosperity so long awaited is at length iact, | ne ne astonishing expansion of $ll,026.3O0 Tn loans has never been equalled before eX- cept perhaps once or twice when speclal causes accounted for the increases, put in the current statement no unusual Iac- tors beyond an actual revival in ousl- ness are to be discovered. Out of the six ty-five institutions now connected With the clearing house, fifty show increased loans. while only fifteen show diminished discounts. This is a larger percentage or increases than has been reported Tor months past. The National City bank ard the National Bank of Commerce, it is true, are responsible for half the total incrsas ses, but the remainder, which or itself is a noteworthy gain, is distributed almost uniformly among the other banks. The prediction made in this analysls last week that loans would assume record breaking proportions has been fulfilled.
 To defra in what lines this expansion has run would be difficult, but July set dement's, heavy customs payments and mercantile demands, together with re- discounts and investments in securities by large corporations have been respon- sible for a large part of the changes. The deposits, as might have been expected, show a similar increase.
 The heavy deposits at present have in- creased the 25 per cent. reserves liability to S151 925 and as actual cash reserve in banks according to the statement was S192 630 S00 the surplus above legal re- ouirements is s41, ,SS4S75, a decrease of $7. 1854, ,275 in one week. The banks are gaining specie, despite the heavy demand for cash, and one bank. the National Park, now has over $10,000. 900 dollars, or n per cent of it's cash reserve in gold. The loss of the legal tenders for the week was $5,97S, 400. The interior move nrsnt in this direction continues. but the withdrawal of legal tenders for gold ex- port and the heavy customs payments are cuntera cting it to some extent De- nestle exchange is no easier at interior aantprS

 COMMITTEE.
Our Old Friend. Bin's. clinehlng Argu- ment Against Useless Expendl-
 ture of Money.

Our old friend, Bill Goodin, has moved to Birmingham, and has taken up his res- idence in one of our pretty suburbs. As becomes the good man that he is, he at once identified himself with the local church of his denomination and proceed ed to take an active interest in all church matters. At Poplar Springs church, from which he brought his letter, Bill had all ways taken leading part in all enter prises of the church, and was the heart and soul of the Poplar Springs Debating society. So we need not be surprised when told that Bill distinguished him self at the very first committee meeting of his new church which he attended On this occa sion the committee consisted Of the entire church-ta committee of the whole'-and the business for considera- tion was the means for raising funds to buy a new chandilier for the church. Nu- merous schemes had bsen suggested and argued pro ard con, but TO conclusion reached Finally some brother noted that Brother GOodin was not taking his usual interest in the proceedings, but was sit- ting well back in the church with look of combined petty and supsffor contempt dapic.ed on his honest face. Several brothers called on Bill for a sugges, ion, but not until the chairman had made a personal arpeal 10 nlm TOT the good or the church. would he move. Finally Bill rais q himself slowly to his feet with his hands resting on the back of a bench, sighed heavily and said: ''Mr. Chairman, Brethren am sistern': didn't care 10 take any part in illese proceedin's. It do seem strange to me that this mestin'. made up as 1t is, of high larnt men and women, should spend valerable time in discussin' how to raise money to buy this-a-ah-- chandelier. and not one has thought of the reason why 1t should not be boughf at all. Ere ethren, wa han't got a musician in this congregation that can play on q chandelier, if we buy it! Let us get along g a while with the old organ. Besides. l believe this is another new-fangled scheme of the greaI! department stores, for you shorely would have to get it from them, for they sell everything. I believe they sell the best of everything, and I know they sell the best of everything the cheapest"
 When Bill made the assertion that mo one could play on" the chandelier there was a decided twitter all over the church, which quickly subsided as he grew elo- quent in his peroration, and an audible murmur of approval followed.
 Brother Goodin is now an established authority in tha- church.

and not having voted for Bryan, and
hearing how bitterly Bryan had spoken
OF monopoles generally, he thought his
information too valuab 10 be kept from
the public. So the public has it.
The ethics of pass citing constitute
field for delicate inquiry. The usual un-
derstanding is that to procure pass is
the part of wisdom, and to fail of getting
it a visitation of Providence, and yet from
this sordid yearning there are lofty ma
lures supposed to be rec. The man who is
opposed to railroads on principle, and yet
accepts a pass. must be concluded to have
variety of princ Piles to tit any emer-
gency. That newspaper m an who travels
on pass pays high rate for his ride is
conceded by all concerned. Ii Mr.. Bryan
were actually a newspaper man there
would be little reason for his present in
terest in his mode of getting over South
ern Pacific territory. His act in proffer-
ing pass would not be regarded as any
thing worse perhaps than questionable
taste But accoroing to such authority as
the Oma ha World Herald, the journal On
which Mr. Bryan formerly worked, the
gentleman laid down the editorial pen
dency and has not taken it no again. 1t
is his profession 20 eloouentiv dislike rail-
roads. To forage upon the enemy may be
part of the scheme.
There was a comfort ting theory that per-
haps the paper owed Mr.. Bryan for his
services, and that the pass, procured for
debt due the paper from the railroad, was
really as innocuous as $40 bill. in fact,
on the same financial and moral ground.
Alas and alack that this theory must be
upset. The man who was MIR. Bryan's
em mployer is rich. He is believed to run q
paper largely for the excitement of it.
His bills for labor are paid regularly each
week, as is the custom in well-regulated
newspaper offices, and his idea that any
balance was left over to be wiped out by a
paitry pass can't stand for minute.
Such explanation as there may be of the
sad affair must come from Mr.. Bryan
himself. He is the god the thud of whose
tumbling has startled his worshipers in
California from their knees, and the task
of crawling back upon the pedestal seems
to rest largely with himself, provided no
one removes the pedestal.

Study of the Ethics Governing
the Procuring and Use of
Passes.
VARIOUS EXPLANATIONS ADVANCED.
A Theory That Perhaps the Gentleman
Having Declared War Foraged
on the Enemy.

From opinions gathered yesterday seve-
-al conclusions have been drawn, ana the
following among them:
ANY railroad official in the world knows
that good men have Travelled on passes.
Also that other good men have indicated
a willingness to do so and resented the
lack OF opportnnity However. the infor-
nation that W. J. Bryan is the sort of
good man to do eth of these things fell
upon his admirers like the slosh OF wet
b anket To him a corporation was sup
posed to be the. souless EN- bodiment of
niquity-something to be reproved with
vaorous words, TO be utilized as hor-
rible example. That Mr.. Bryan would
accept pass, even poor little $40 pass,
from such a concern never entered the
human mind. His reputation as slayer
OF corporations was deemed TO be worth
far more.
One feature of the distress resulting
from exposure is fear among railroad
men that they may be accused OF having
betrayed the secret. OF any such breach
of etiquette as this, however, hey are in
nocent, excepting one conductor, who
does not Try to conceal the part he had in
it. He saw the pass, handled it in line OF
duty, made record of the circumstances,

Commissioner. The claim on E. Do
rado was located by Jack Halterman last
November, who sold one-haIf interest to
Thorp and his friends. George Stewart
and w. l.. Thorp worked on the claim
duiing the winter and they sunk five
holrs on the wrong side of the gulch be-
lore they reached the pay stl eak the latter
part of March. This was reached after
twenty-six days drifting and the clean up
netted about $4,000. Mr.. Stewart brought
with him $77 nugget which he picked off
the claim. This claim is 140 feet across
the gulch from where Clarence Berry's 4,
5 and Gains are located. He drifted so
feet across ana 100 feet up stream TO be re-
warded by $4,000.
Mr.. Thorp states that he did not see any
one from the Stewart River, although be
saw many going in. The highest sum he
knew 10 have been taken from a pan on
the Ste wart was $l5O In conversation
with 1HE CALL correspondent, Mr.. Stewart
said that when they left Dawson on July

about getting their bearings and waiting
for inform alton to guide them in striking

it brought the first stampeders TO the

Decembe wheat grad dually crept up to

ber remaining nearly stationary around
97H. The Lynn selling of wheat was re-
garded by many as significant, because he

the only local trader to make great
profit. Gossip had it that w. T. Baker

ters, and Roumania, Bulgaria, Turkey
