How 1t Works Along Until There Is =
IA SemiFanic or Panic.
1T can be easily perceived that this
possibility Of increasing loans against
an inflow of reserve funds in the pro-
portion OF four to one is a temptation
10 which the city bank is likely to yield
II must be remembered that this inward
movement Of currency from the countr-
occurs at the time OF year when COM
mercial activities are the least and the
general requirements for the use OF
loans in the interior are the smallest
The effort of the banks at the certars
to increase their loans causes interest
to fall. The fall in the rate Of interest
causes interest and Divide nd paying Sc
curities TO rise. The rise in securities
induces speculative buying. The specu-
latiVe buyer becomes the banks Dor
rowing customer.
1t is in the condition above described
with varying degrees Of regularity and
intensity, that thu financial status is
found when the crops in the west and
south approach harvest-that is TO say
a maximum OF loans and deposits; a
minimum in cash reserves. During
the season until then the country bank
er has found that his drafts and checks

tributed 10 ms customers. supplied their
needs for instruments of exchange and
payment; but he finds that for the pay
uert Of farm wages. the purchase and
transfer OF farm products. such instru-
rnents are not adequate; cash Is re-
ouired for these purposes, either in
metallic money or paper currency.
This forces him TO make reQuisition
in the form OF money by express on
his eastern balances. Nay. more: II
crops be large and prices good. he Is
forced to supplement his own resources
by borrowing for a period at the cen
tiers. His correspondent at the center.

No Recourse.
Special to the Register.

Special to the Register.
charleston, w. Va, April 3-The
supreme Court Of this State. by a de-,
clslon which it handed down yester-
day, has made coal mine bosses State
officers and relieved every company in
the State Of the responsibility for the
oeath or injury that may be suffered
III the mines. In the case of Williams
admlnistratrix VS.. the Thacker Coal
company, from Mingo county, the
court held that when a coal operator
or MS agent appoints a boss according
10 the requirements Of the statute. he
Is not liable for damages for injuries
sustained by coal miners or other la
borers about his mines. This is the
construction by the court of the act
passed by the Legislature in 1887, re-
curing each coal operator or his agent
to appoint a maine boss and prescrib-
ing his qualifications and duties. The
case in question was for damages for
the death OF miner by falling slate
In mine where the law in regard to
the appointment of mine boss had
been complied with. The court holds
that the Legislature in enacting the
law virtually made mine bosses an
pointed in accordance with the statute.
its officers or agents, with the appoint
ing power in the operators, and such
being the case the operators should not
be held responsible in damages for
neglect of duty in their appointees any
more than sheriff and other appointing
powers be held responsible for their
appointees. The effect of the decision
is that no damages can be recovered
by mine laborers. no matter how gross
the neglect, provided mine boss is
employed according to the provisions
OF the statute.
About year ago Judge Jackson, of
the United States Circuit Court, sitting
in Charleston, in the case of Medley
vs. Peerless Coal Company. in which
the same question was involved, held
exactly the opposite to what the State
court now holds. Since the passage
of the act referred to a number of
judgments have recovered and paid
for injuries to miners, but this is the
first case every brought to this court
involving the construction of the sta
tute Of 1887. Now that the court has
construed the law, no more suits will
likely be brought to recover damages
suffered in the mines, and the coal dig
gers feel that they do not have ade-
quate protection in the mines.

EX-SENATOR DAVIS
Will Re Made Governor Davis If He

Charleston Gazette.
The Morgantown Post, a respect
able and able Republican newspaper,
permits itself, no doubt in moment
of incaution, to make this declara-
ton:
while the Democratic party of
West Virginia is looking about for
candidate for Governor in 1900 and
are actually talking about nominating
ex-senator Henry G. Davis (now in
his dotage) why don't they rise up to
the occasion and nominate man who
has, during his lifelong service in the
party, been "a newer of wood and "a
drawer of water without pay or
thanks?'
Surely. our highly valued Morgan
town contemporary has neither esti-
mated justly the character of Henry
G. Davis, nor his services to his party.
We can appreciate the policy, or the
necessity. of a Republican newspaper
assailing Mr.. Davis in the warmth of
a political campaign when the blood
is hot and men frequently act before
they think. But we can see no ex-
cuse for a partisan newspaper assail-
ing Mr.. Davis at time when there is
time to think and ample opportunity
for reflection.
Henry G. Davis is Democrat who
has never wavered in his fidelity to
his party No man in West Virginia
deserves better of the people regard
less of party. No West Virginian has
contributed more to the development
of the States resources. Sturdy. rug
ged. honest, enterprising, racey of the
soil, Henry G. Davis has delved, plead
ed. planned and won for West Vir-
ginia. while others who have been hon
ored by both political parties, were
calmly reposing, or enjoying the pub
lie honors that, his services entitled
him to.
The Morgantown Post suggests hew-
ing OF wood and drawing of water.
Mr.. Davis has done both for West Vir-
ginia, and for the Democratic party.
His services to the State have never
been adequately recognized. His ser
vices to his party have not met with
the full recognition that they deserved
In 1896 he stood true and faithful
to the Democracy. while others, who
had been garlanded with party honors,
proved themselves apostates and trait
ors We happen to know that extra
ordinary efforts were made in 1896 to
induce-nay. to cOmpel-Mr. Davis to
abandon the Democratic party. But
he resisted pleadings and defied
threats. The allied plutocrats and syn
diSstes were powerful enough to make
