fanatics and are pushing forward
more scientific military organization
among them.
Two small towns were pillaged and
burned by the fanatics yesterday. In
several sklFmishes with the federal
troops the latter were defeated. The
fanatics have obtained steam launches

The true northerner., 1897-10-20

We have lately given some account OF
the operation of agricultural banks in
Europe, which have done very much for
the farming class by making il possible
for il To secure loans on such security AS
farmers can offer The farmer is espe-
cially in need of credit, for the interval
must always be considerable between
the preparation of the soil and the har-
vesting of the crop. He must spend
money long time before he can get
any back. As TO most OF his products, he
may be said to be carrying on bust
ness where the stock is turned over but
once a year. Furthermore, as a crop
natures all over the country at the same
season, and generally within period of
a few weeks, il is particularly impor-
tant TO the farmer that he should not be
compelled TO realize on his harvests i'm
mediately. He would break the market
if he were obliged to sell all his crops
as soon as gathered, and yet he must
sell good deal, for he has been under
expense for months without any income.
While the farmer more than almost
any other producer needs credit, he can
not generally offer commercial security,
and real estate is not good security for
ordinary banks of discount to take and
1t is unlawful for our national banks TO
accept it. The result is that the farmer
is usually compelled to sell his produce
at an unpropitious time or to get credit
of merchants and private bankers for
which usurious rates are obtained. In
this country there has been practically
no effort to supply this need for agricul-
tural credits, although the brokers and
private bankers and factors who have
made practice of lending to farmers
have made great deal of money out of
il. for the absence of competition en-
ables them to get high rate for money,
and the farmer pretty generally pays his
debts.
1t is singular that in our own country
no effort has been made to afford agri-
culture in general the capital 1T needs
for the improving of land and for carry
ing on farm operations during the long
intervals between the annual marketing
of crops The changed conditions of the
times make it imperative that farming
must be conducted upon more scientific
principles so as to get out of the land
more than it has heretofore produced,
and that necessity leaves no alternative
but either TO afford the farmer enlarged
credit facilities or to leave the present
landholders TO be frozen out by insolv-
ancy, with the result of transferring this
industry to a class possessing ampler
means and able to cultivate larger farms
upon improved methods. journal OF

A Boy and a Banana Skin.

One day last week white haired old
with his cane. Not far in front of him
dawdled a boy eating a big ripe ba-
mana. 1t was near the noon hour, and
the street was thronged with people
hurrying off to lunch. Presently the
boy, having finished the banana, drop
ped the skin on the sidewalk and went
whistling up the street. The old gentle
man stopped and bent over slowly, lean
ing heavily on his cane, and picked up
the banana skin. Just then the boy
looked over his shoulder and saw what
the old man had done. He stopped, with
his hands in his pockets, and watched
curiously. Close TO the curbing stood a
forlorn old dray horse, with its head
hung down and one leg bowed out He
looked as if he hadn't had enough to eat
in months.
The old man held out the banana
skin, and the discouraged old horse in
stantly pricked up his ears. He was evil
IDENTIFY suspicious at first that joke was
being played on him, but it was only
for a moment. He reached forward
eagerly and nipped the banana skin with
his soft lips. When it was gone, he
looked up wistfully, but the white hair
ed old man was walking on up the street
with his cane. The boy stopped whis-
tling. He was thinking, and so were a
score of other people who saw the little
incident Chicago Record.

A Movement For Currency Reform.

The Massachusetts Reform club of
Boston has commenced a systematic
movement for practical currency reform.
1t has recently passed formal resolutions
demanding that congress shall adopt
some safe plan whereby our legal ten
der paper and silver and our silver GER
tificates shall be slowly withdrawn, and
gold, gold certificates and bank notes
shall gradually take their places. They
further advocate ''such legislation as
will encourage the establishment and
successful operation of small banks with
local capital and knowledge of credits. {"
These resolutions are being sent
throughout the country, accompanied by
statement setting forth the views of
the club and requesting every friend
of currency reform to sign the resolu-
tions and send them to congress.
This movement is exactly in line with
the action of the indianapolis confer
ence, which was to impress congress
with the fact that there is an over
whelming public sentiment in favor Of
currency reform. Chicago Times Her

Some SchooIboy Definitions.

In recent examination some boys
were asked to define certain words and
to give sentence illustrating the mean
ing. Here are few: Frantic is wild;
picked some frantic flowers. Athletic,
strong; the vinegar was too athletic tc
use. Tandem, one behind another; the
boys sit tandem at school. And then
some single words are funnily explained.
Dust is mud with the wet squeezed out.
Fins are fishes wings. Stars are the
moons eggs. Circumference is the dis
tance around the middle of the outside.

OF the dangerously injured at the hos
pital several will require amputation,
yet every one is refusing TO submit TO
the operation. The scene in front of the
hospital door was a sad one. Hundreds
of people gathered there clamOring for
the names of the injured. An attendant
stood at the door with a list of those
brought to the hospital and answered
these anxious inquiries. At the opera
House all sorts of wild rumors were
afioat and public curiosity was on tip
toe. There was a story that one mar
was missing. 1t was a wild story, for
he could not be in the opera house,
where the debris was so scattered that
it did not form a piled-up mass any
where. The damage to the structure
was-nothing at all to the stage. COM
paratively little to the gallery, which
suffered most, almost nothing TO the
dress circle, and much less than one
would think from the debris scattered
around TO the parquet, where the main
truss landed. The truss rested in the
parquet very much in the shape of a
capital letter "V" The wonder is that

The disaster recalls forcibly a more
fearful one which took place in the

night there was real cause for the
panic and loss Of life; then there was
no cause whatever except the wickedly
foolish cry of fire" started when a
little sputtering hiss came from the
calcium light in the upper gallery. The
house was packed mostly with women
and children to witness an allegory of
America given by hundreds Of school
children. With the single cry Of fire In
such an assembly the mischiefwas done,
and the panic loose. Then followed the
sickening rescue OF the score or more

were injured. A singular coincidence is

but enough TO alarm some of the timid
or cautious, who retired. A little later
the plasterng began to shower down in
great chunks. 1t came from the ceiling
above, which supported the dome. There
was a rush from the gallery, which was
not very well filled. The balcony was
soor emptied. Those in the dress circle
retired as promptly as possible, and
strange to say without an apparent pan
ic. The crowding OF these TO the door
obstructed the passage Of people from
the parquet, which accounts in meas
ure for the casualties.
Was the Unexpected That Happened.
Nobody expected at that moment any
other danger than from the falling plas-
tering. Suddenly, and with a great
crash the great central truss Of the cell
ing, eighty feet long and thirty feet
wide, came plunging down. The ends of
it struck on the two gallery wings and
doubled il up in the ceEter, sending it
down into the parquet with a great scat
terment OF joists and tlmbers. Nothing
on the stage was harmed. OF course
there were means Of the injured, and as
often happens loudest from those least

three dead. five dangerously or fatally
wounded, ard twenty-six more or less

a large number. probably twenty-five or
