had ever been made on this note, and
plaintiff claimed to recover it's face

The defendant claimed that he paid

GEN. CIRCUITS BANKING BILL.

The bill introduced by Congressman
Grout of Vermont, "To extend and
make flexible national bank cur
rency'' has attracted good deal of
attention in Congress, because, while
not going into the subject of cur
rency reform so comprehensively as
other measures suggested, it pur-
ports to meet some of the defects of
the present system through revision
which will not excite such opposition
in the Senate as more elaborateplans.
The bill consists of six sections and is
very brief. It does not attempt to
legislate with record to the gold
standard or greenbacks, on the theory
that any bill which dabbles in these
questions is sure of meeting 1rrecon-
cilable opposition in the Senate. Gen.
Grout says he has tried to frame
hill which can pass and which will do
something, although not everything,
RI remedy the existing evils.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1898-02-07

His opinions are somewhat differ
ent from those which have been ex-
pressed by others interested in cur
rency reform.
ssTo my mind,'' he says, "the agita-
ton in favor Of setting aside our
present banking system is i'll timed
and Improbable. If it were at all
likely to be done capital would at
once be alarmed and business para
lyzed. The plan suggested by some
for banks to issue circulating notes On
loans and discounts looks like peril
Gus one indeed, when compared with
our present system.
s'The great fault of the present ma
tional bank currency is lack Of fexi-
bility in times of stringency. This
will be wholly cured by the authority
conferred in the bill upon each bank
to issue emergency circulating notes,
not exceeding one half the market
value of the bonds deposited by the
said bank above par value, nor ex-
ceeding 10 per cent, Of the loans and
discounts Of the bank, and to be re-
turned when stringency shall have
passed. The premiums Of the bonds
deposited by a given bank would Sc
cure the redemption of the emergen-
cy circulation, which the other issues
of the bank, would also be secured by
the redemption funds to be provided
by the bill from the tax on circulation
and deposit not to exceed 5 per cent
of the total national bank circula-
ton.
'tMy bill will obviate these difficult
ties, first, by authorizing circulation
up to the par value of the bonds and
reducing the tax from 1 per cent, to
one quarter of per cent per annum,
thus helping a little the profits of
banking, which with the country
banks are everywhere small.
"This additional circulation would
increase the circulating medium of
the country something over $22, 2,OO0,-
600.
"The tax provided by the bill on
deposits of 5000, 900 in any bank would
to that extent reduce the enormous
dividends now paid by few of the
favored institutions and take away
from the demagogues the text for dis
organizing harangues against the
banks. 1t would also equalize to
some extent the benefits of the sys
tenn among it's different members.
prudence requires that the charter
of banks with 1926, 200 capital be limit
ed to ten years, and the bill so pro-
vides with the privilege of renewal
for twenty years by increasing the
capital to $4,000.

No distinguished visitor who ever
came to Washington made better
impression in short time than has
Dole, of Hawaii, at present the hon
ored guest of U. S. A weak and vain
man in President Dole's position
would have had his head turned by
the proffered official lionizing, which
he has had the good sense to decline.
Before arriving at Washington Mr..
Dole made it clearly understood that
such things as military salutes and
escorts were distasteful to him, and
that all he desired was to be treated
with the same courtesy that would be
extended to any other gentleman Wis
iting our country. He received the
President and ex- President Harrison
and many Senators and Representa-
tives who have called on him, with
quiet dignity that at once won for
him their respect, which has been en-
hanced by the general knowledge he
has displayed in conversing with
them. This week President McKin

The Montpelier Daily Record speaks
of Judge Lavant M. Read of Bellows
Falls, as zone of the candidates for
congress in opposition to General
Grout." But who are the others?
LAWYER Martin of Brattleboro is nee
essarily out of the race. No other
Brattleboro statesman, not even Gen
eral Estey, would care to appear in
opposition to Congressman Grout.
Besides, that site of the greatest fair
on earth is the home of DR.. Holton,
prospective candidate for the lieuten-
ant governorship. Lawyer Plumley
of Northfield is casting more than
sleeps eyes at the congressman's old
shoes, and long since put himself into
the hands of his friends. But that is
just what Congressman Grout has
done, and it must be conceded by ev-
erybody, that he has lots of them.
Perhaps. however, the general has
had enough of public life, aud wishes
to retire. Even if this be true, does
anybody believe that his friends will
permit it? A very suggestive answer
may be read by the light of expert
ence in the past by the Judge and the
lawyer, or any other patriot seeking
to serve his countrymen.-W Windsor

How The Begxar Taught The King.
lie day a king in irritated mood

One day king in irritated mood
Grew angry at his minister of state
And spoke and acted in way quite rude
And not at all becoming one so great
The minister was vexed, yet was afraid
To vent his passion on the Ill bred king,
But afterward, to ease his mind, he made
His secretary wroth at some sharp fling.
The secretary cooled his temper
Berating one who served about the
house.
The servant, angered, dared not make
reply,
And took the scolding quiet as mouse
But raved and swore moment later
when
He found beggar at the palace gate.
BE off, y he cried, land don't you dare
again
Come here or you will meet a sorry
fater'
The beggsr smiled, but not an angry
smile
A smile TRANSPORTING his care worn
face.
The servant, softened, stood and unused
awhile
And marveled at the mans forgiving
grace.
When next the secretary sharply spoke,
The servant met him in better mood,
And in the secretary's breast awoke
The consciousness that he was harsh
and rude
And so In turn he answered pleasantly
When next the minister INDUCED
sneer.
The minister was quick his fault to see,
And frankly owned it, like a noble
peer.
And when the king, sour tempered and
still vexed,
Rebuked once more his minister of
state,
The latter's unoffended mein perplexed
And sobered off the royal potentate.
He thanked the statesman for the lesson
taught
And vowed that it should last him for
awhile,
But neither king nor statesman ever
thought
They'd learned their lesson through
beggars smile.

THE MARTYR OF MANILA.

Whatever may be the ultimate fate
of the Philippine Islands, the death of
DIR. Jose Rial will be remembered as
an exquisite piece of heroic martyr
dom. His life was filled with 70
nance. He was leader in the up
rising against Spanish tyranny, and
the love of his native country took
precedence over all else. It did not
require his remarkable poem, written
but few hours before his execution
to prove that.
Rial was not an adventurer. He
was man of culture, learned ply
stefan, and as president of the Manila
University was looked upon as lead
er in the educational and scientific as
we'll as the social life of his "beloved
Filipinos." But above all, he was a
lover OF equality. SPANS yoke did
not chase his shoulders, but he looked
about him and saw that his fellow
countrymen were not so fortunate.
why should my lot be different from
theirs ?" exclaimed the impetuous
South Sea islander.
No idle dreamer was this man. 1t
is true he was poet, but he
was a poet of humanity. He
did not view life through rose
colored glasses. He looked the world
squarely in the face, and his muse
held scalpel in her hand. He tore
the bandage from the blinded eyes Of
Justice, that she might see the by.
pocrisy, the cruelty, the oppression
which surrounded her.
He was not satisfied in his own
mind that the pen was mightier than
the sword. II will find out, /" he said.
And he fought with both.
AS revolutionist he at once be-
came prominent. The natives of the
lower class regarded him with super
stitious awe and reverence. They
said he was favored of the gods.
It was while living in exile at Perrin
on the island of Dolphin, that DIR.
Rial met the woman who became his
wife and widow in one day Dec. 8,
1890. On that day he was led out in
the prison yard at Manila, and shot
in the back.
Just before his execution he prophe-
sled that if the sentence Of death was
carried out Spain would lose the
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1898-07-09
TONS OF GOLD.
An Auriferous Stream TO Flow In
From klondike This Year.

In an interview in Chicago recently
Col Patrick DOMAIN said: The first
little flatbottomed, stern-wheel boat
that comes down the Yukon this year
will bring more gold than all the ves-
sells that came out last year put to-
gether. She will probably get out
about July +, and she will bring from
ten to twenty tons of gold. Yes, that
is what | said---from ten to twenty
tons of solid gold. They have long
since quit talking OF ounces and
pounds up there. 1t is all estimated
bY tons. There will be from forty to
s.v tons--repeat that in figures,
from .t,5to 90 toss -of gold dust aud
nuggets brought out this season. All
the result OF few months work by a
few hundred men, who had hardly
money enough this time last year to
pay for drink or poker chip You
thought there was BOOM a craze,
last year Wait till all these tons,
these freight-car loads of gold begin
to roll out Then YOU will see a rush,
such stampede as has never been
witnessed on this continent since the
old California days of I84o. There
are 200, 900 square miles of gold-bear-
ing territory to be prospected. New
discoveries are being almost daily
made And there seems no limit to
the riches and the possibilities. Boom
over, indeed just wait few weeks
and then get out OF the way, or be
run over. War or no war, the world
will go for gold. And there is gold
enough in that far Northwestern land
of icebergs and polar bears to make
900, 600 millicnaires.
