THE CREDIT SYSTEM.


The News one day last week said;
"As illustrating modern methods OF
business II is stated by the IndianapO-
lis Journal hat one day last week a
bank In New York city brought 10 the
clearing house checks upon other
banks amounting TO $l5, 047, 5S9.s2, and
other banks brought checks upon II
amounting TO el6,047, 4Ol.s5. ThlS re-
sulted In business amounting to $751;
294 ,o85.07 being transacted by the ao-
tual handling In cash Of only Sl8l.97,
the amount OF the banks credit bal
ance. This shows how largely mod
ern business Is transacted by an OK.
change of credits. II is said that the
exchanges of the New York clearing
house for the past forty-three years
show cash balances averaging less
than 8 per cent Of the exchanges, show
Ing that 05 per cent Of the business Is
done without any actual transfer of
money. Yet there are rural and rop-
ulls.lc statesmen who think the vol
ume of the currency should equal the
volume OF business, dollar for dollar" "
There may be such populIstlc states
men but we do not know OF them.
The above is q very fair representa-
ton of modern methods Of doing bust
ness on the credit system. II ia OBJ
vious that the security Of the course Of
business Is not and cannot be more
solid than the credit OF the banks on
which the checks are issued, we may
almost say than the credit Of one Of
the banks; for IL one large bank hay
Ing many large checks Issued against
1t fail, it not only requires q large
amount more OF cash to take their
place, cash becoming difficult or Inn
possible TO procure, but II affects the
credit of other banks; stralghtway like
a pyramid standing on its apex and
jostled out of balance, the whole fabric
OF credit falls to the ground. IL
credit Is destroyed, instead OF %
per cent Of the business being done on
credit probably not so per cent of 1t
will be, until through time, and the
elimination of the disturbing elements
credit resumes It's sway again for a
time. Then, when credit is impaired
ls the need for cash which Is not to be
had, Popullsts contend that II all the
while there were more money in the
country less business would have to
be done on credit and there would be
more security.
Another measure which would very
largely tend to eliminate the unCer-
tain and ephemeral character Of the
credit system would be some scheme
by which bank deposits would be
made secure.
When the volume Of business done
on credit 10 largest, the danger Of
collapse 10 greatest, Credit IL now do
ing much work In the business of the
day. Speculation is becoming rife.
Some big concerns will some day find
they have loaded up more than they
can carry, Now and then there are
tremors running along the system al
ready, as Is noticeable In the failure Of
the First National Bank Of Emporla,
Of G. G. Gillett, the great cattle king,
etc. It's only question Of time how
long credit may be bolstered up. 1t
may run for few years yet and it
may receive a shock at any day which
will knock thoughts Of prosperity
funny.

Late LIterArv News.

Much interest has been excited in
America by the telegraphic accounts of
HOoley's apparently wholesale pur-
chases of British noblemeu for use as
decoy ducks to his various stock
schemes; and his connection with the
highest political officials Of the empire.
Theron @. Crawford who has been In
Europe for the Cosmopolitan, takes up
the subject In the November Issue Of
that magazine and under the title Of
"Hooly and His Guinea Pigs" gives u
connected story of the derivation Of
Hooly and his rise to the control Of
millions through unlimited cheek aud
the opportune willingness Of distin-
guished British Aristocrats to lend
their names for a financial considera
ton to any sort Of a shady transaction.

IT IS said that senator Luclan
Baker will be appointed to the place
TO be vacated by Judge Foster on the
United States district bench. As
everything is now In the hands Of re-
publicans, we do not know of any bet
ter candidate for the place. While
not man Of exalted ability, Senator
Baker is, we believe, q man OF some
honor and more than the usual de-
gree Of independence for a partisan.
If it should come to pass that he
should be appointed instead of ex-
Chief Justice Horton, Kansas should
have a.llttle jubilee that this cup had
been allowed to pass from her.

THE socalIed 0open door policy" fol

The socalled ''open door policy" for
the Philippines is described by MIR.
Dingley to be a system of tariffs In
which this country shall be treated
the same as other nations. In other
words Uncle Sans trade with the
Philippines will be subject to the same
exactlons as that Of other countries.
1t seems somewhat enigmaticaI and
inconsistent to see lingo papers shout

commerce and then defending and

Some Suggestions for 1898.

Every young couple ought to buy a
home. Property will never be so low
again as it is now. Besides that helps
make successful life.
The shooting gallery should ring
off on IA Hot Time"
The Lanier Circle should come to
life for at least one more appearance.
Marshal Favor should get a dog
with a tail.
The News ought to admit that pro-
lection is a good thing.
The Monitor ought to concede that
the country is prosperous.
The Abilene Investment Co. should
rebuild its burned corner.
The railroads should run their
freights on time.
The council should compel people
to fix their sidewalks.
Postmaster Strother should use his
trilbies on the boys who play horse in
postot1ice lobby.
The gossips should take passage
for Timbuctoo and stay there.
The football team should brace uE
and win game next fall.
The board of trade should tell
whether its patrons are winning OF
losing.
The businessmen should form an
organization for the securing of in
dustries or new lines of business.
The opera house patrons should re-
main in their seats until the curtain
falls.
The politicians should give people
a rest until midsummer at least.
The man who yells "What's the
matter with Blankp" when public
parsonage comes to town should be
thrown in the Smoky Hill.
Fatty Walck should get his hair

ON BREAD AND WATER.
Sometimes Potatoes Cooked in Salt
Water Were Added.


D. W. Zook and wife, the young
River Brethren couple who took a
honeymoon trip to Japan two years
ago and have been doing missionary
work, write back that they have had
some hard experiences. They left
here with only money enough to get
to California but there were given
funds for the ocean passage. They
write: sometimes we have had
only bread and water upon our
table, yet we were as thankful for the
the little as the abundance. Last
June when we were all very sick and
had nothing to eat but bread and
water, and potatoes cooked in salt
water, our faith was tested to the ut
most" Last summer Mrs. Zook was
very i'll for long time and 1t was
feared that she would die but Mr..
Zook says: "Not once during our
affection did We resort to the physi.
clans for medicine or even counsel. "
They are now going to Calcutta,
India, to try mission work in that
country.

BIooDHous Ds ARE CRUEL.
But the Dickinson Sherif7s Kind Are
Very Tame.

Judge Webb, one of the leading
Populist statesmen of Kansas, has
written an open letter regarding the
proposed use of bloodhounds by the
sheriff Of Shawnee county. He says:
"Neither the laws Of Kansas nor the
laws Of God permit such brutal acts
or proceedings as he proposes, nor
the use of 'bloodhounds' in aid Of
police brutality; and If any man of
any station or position shall find him
self pursued by said bloodhonnds, he
ought to make handy use of con-
venient arsenal and first kill the
four.legged brutes, and then prompt
ly pursue and kill the two-legged
brute who set the ,bloodhounds on
his track; and if he will do SO he will
do a great service to the State, and to
the cause Of humanity" No such
objections apply to Nick Robson's
bloodhounds. They have never
caught a criminal yet Indeed it is
strongly suspected that if criminal
should make faces at them they
would scoot for home.

He Stopped the Train.

Several stories OF how Dickinsonians
have stopped passenger trains have
recently been printed but the best
comes from Enterprise. A short
time ago a leading businessman OF
that town was returning home over
the Santa Fe and at Strong City took
advantage of the wait between trains
to transact business at the stores.
He stayed too long and saw the train
for home leaving the depot. Making
a run across lots he caught the bag
gage car steps and climbed to the
platform just behind the engine. The
fireman thought be was tramp and
turned the water on him. The Enter
prise man did not hesitate any. A
link pin was loose on the platform
and he sent it like a cannonball
straight at the fireman's head. The
fireman lodged and the iron smashed
the steam guage, water indicator and
several other delicate parts OF the en-
gine's machinery, bringing the engine
to dead stop. The fireman walked
back to Strong City, got another en-
CINE, the train was pulled back to the
depot, engines changed and the train
went on-an hour late. The Enter
prise man sat in the chair car this
time and the fireman attended strictly
to business. The matter was not re-
ported. 1t was not exactly healthy
for the fireman to say anything about

Begin at Home.

A lot of pretended patriots are beg
cling clothing and money in Kansas
for the Cubans. Kansas would better
let her charity commence at home.
There are families right in this town
whose children have not gone to
school because they lacked clothes.
If Abilene has any old clothing or
other supplies to spare let them be
given at home where the mercury
will be down to zero in few days.
The Cubans don't need many clothes
and their sufferings are largely exag-
gerated anyhow. Let Kansas attend
to Kansas first. Cuba can hustle.
The marvellous exhibition of char
ity on the part Of the Cuban solicitors
is prompted largely by desire to get
some free advertising. Let 'em alone.

The cold wave flag will be displayed

w. S. Stambaugh and family left
Friday for Fargo, North Dakota, where
Mr.. Stambaugh has entered the law
firm Of Newman & Spalding, one of
the leading firms of the Northwest
and with a very large practice in the
state and federal courts. Mr.. and
Mrs. Stambaugh's long residence in
this county makes their departure the
sundering of many warm friendships
and while the best Of wishes follow
them there are sincere regrets that
such move has occurred. Mr.. STAN
bauph has been identified with the
Abilene bar for twenty'eight years
and as a member Of the firm of STAN
baugh & Hurd has enjoyed a large
practice throughout Central Kansas,
taking leading position because of his
ability and strength as an advisor.
He has been prominent as counsel in
nearly every important criminal case
in the county for twenty years and is
known as a forcible and able attorney
before jury, while the firm is also
among the leading railroad attorneys
of Kansas. In political and social
circles he has made his influence felt
and his acquaintance among public
men of the West is very extended. A
wider field has opened to him in his
new location and his Abilene and
Kansas friends hope it may prove all
that he anticipates.
Mrs. Stambaugh's many friends
will regret her departure. In social
and musical circles she has been one
of Abilene's most popular ladies and
will be greatly missed.
