VIEWS OF THE NEW YORK STATE
BANKERS
THE POTENCY OF LIQUID AIR
Decision on War Tax on Conveyances Of
Mortgaged Property-Railroad
Earnings-Australia Gold
OFFICE OF THE HERALD,
Los Angeles, July 80. 1898.

At the fifth annual convention of the
New York State Bankers Association, held
at Niagara Falls, the 23d inst. A. B. Hep
burn, president of the association, In his
annual address, said:
The value OF our merchandise sold abroad
exceeds the value of foreign merchandise
imported into the United States by $615,-
259,000. The outside world contributed TO
the wealth of the United States this round
sum, and yet the air is filled with the cry
OF hard times, a cry In which bankers, with
Others Join. Whatever may be the present
View, the year just closed will be looked
back upon as one of unusual prosperity.
While the earning power of money and
property has for years been growing gradu-
ally less, at the same time the purchasing
power of labor has steadily increased. As
bankers. we must conform to the situation
by paying less interest on the funds intrust-
ed to Our care
Speaking of bank criminals, Mr.. Hepburn
declared that executive clemency is too
often interposed to relieve them. In Yer
mont criminals of this class are most rig
orously dealt with In United States cases
executive cemency wiped out 40 per cent
of the penalty imposed. Mr.. Hepburn says
there is no justification for this.
The ease with which executive clemency
is obtained. and the freedom with which 1t
is interposed. SEEM in my Judgment. to call
for protest on the part of the ba hiking and
business community.
Speaking of the law regulating the re-
serve of national banks, Mr.. Hepburn sug-
gessed an amendment requiring banks in
central reserve cities to keep a reserve OF
Is per cent cash in bank, and banks In
smaller places to keep 10 per cent reserve
cash in bank.
We certainly need important Legislation
in order to adapt our banking system to
the growing and changing commercial
wants Of the nation. A proper remedy for
the evils complained of by the south and
west is not TO be found by waging war upon
the existing banks, but by the establish
ment of more What the country needs is
a system of branch banks

Financial Review

NEW YORK, July SO.-The Financier
says:
The statement of the Associated Banks
Of New York city for the week ending July
30 shows no important changes. The in
crease Of 81, 800 800 In loans is overshadowed
by the expansion of something IKE two
and a half millions in this item reported
by one bank. In the same manner one
banks decrease in cash was twice as large
as the average decrease Of the remaining
institutions. Deposits have remained all
most stationary, but there has been more
or less shifting Of funds. and the banks
with heavy interior connections seem to
have gained, as rule. In the same time
the reduction In surplus reserve was
brought about by actual loss in cash, as
the Is per cent requirement Is very little
higher than last week, owing to the fnsig-
nif1cant deposit expansion. The specie de-
crease was due to operations with the treas
Try but the transfers of coin to the sub
treasury on July %. aggregating nearly
eight millions, seem to have been Included
In last weeks statement. The government
bond payments have been more than half
completed. and the only effect so far has
been to reduce the reserves Of the New
York banks about twenty millions. The
remaining payments will have but little ef-
feet. since treasury deficits will about coun-
terbalance reports and the money in depos-
itry banks will be withdrawn gradually.

MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIA
Something Of the Man Who Wrote It.
Author of Seventy-Four Songs

Something OF the Man Who Wrote It.
Author Of Seventy-Four Songs
Washington-The poor printer, Henry
Work, who wrote Marching Through
Georgia." was the son of Alanson Work, a
descendant of an old Scotch family, whose
name came from Aud Work. a castle on
the Tweed famed in border warfare. In
his early boyhood his father removed to
Illinois, and during his residence there
when only II years old, he conceived the
original ambition of inventing language
For this purpose he constructed two alpha
ters Of the one with which he was familiar
while the second was composed OF altogeth-
er new characters. Two years after this
Alanson Work, who. aided by confeder-
ates, had assisted in the escape Of fugitive
slaves, was tried for the offense, convicted
and sentenced to an Imprisonment Of
twelve years in the Missouri state peniten-
tiary. During his trial and consequent
confinement his wife and children made
frequent visits to him; and, after serving
term of between three and four years, he
was pardoned by the governor ON condition
that he return to the state Of which ne
had been q former resident. He accord
ingly removed to Connecticut, and settled
at Hartford.
Meanwhile, young Henry, who had been
apprenticed to a printer, found time, while
faithfully working at the case. for the study
Of harmony. and also for an occasional con-
tribution to the poets corner Of Hart
ford paper, his first song, probably, Lilly
Dale" brought him $25O0, and was followed
by Father, Dear Father, Come Home"
a we'll known temperance ballad. In the
early part Of the war we hear Of him Ia
Chicago. George E. Root, the musical COM
poser. Of the firm of Root & Cady of that
city, states that just about that time a
quiet, solemn looking young man, very
poorly clad, was sent into his room from the
store with a song for his examination.
II looked at him." says Root. "and then

Trade Mark Decision

In the case Of the Dodge Manufacturing
company VS.. Sewall & Day Cordage COM
pany, the United States circuit court at
Boston dismissed with costs a petition for
an injunction enjoining the defendant from
using a colored thread in the rope which
1t manufactures. 1t appeared that since
1886, or thereabouts. the complainant had
twisted blue thread into one of the strands
of a so-called transmission rope which 1t
manufactured. In 1888 1t registered as a
trade mark a colered thread SO twisted.
The court said that this registration had
no legal effect. except TO indicate that the
complainant then claimed the trade mark
set forth in Its application. and added that
II the complainant had any trade mark. 1t
was plainly confined to a blue thread, for
that was the only mark the complainant
ever used. and that to allow the complain
ant the exclusive right Of twisting into rope
thread OF any and all colors would give +.
monopoly Of the only practicable way OF
making rope.

lat the song in absolute establishment. 1t
was Kingdom Coming elegant in manu-
script, full of bright, good sense and COM
ical situations, and admirably suited to the
times. 1t was in negro dialect, the air good
and taking, and the words and melody fit
Ting each other as aptly and neatly as Gill
bert fits Sullivan.
Ibid you write both the words and music
to this?" queried.
"A quiet yes was the ansIer.
what Is your oecupation?" inquired.
Il am printer he said.
would you," 1 asked, rather write
songs than set type?'
Much rather" was the reply.
Then" l said, 'if this Is specimen of
what you can do you may give up the print
| ing business"
THE idea delighted him and an arrange
ment between us was soon made. He need

exceedingly profitable to both, continued

InlS65 Mr.. Work went abroad, spending
nearly two years In travel In foreign coun-
tries and in his own. 1t was during this
time that his marriage occurred, although
we have no account of It. He ame to Vine

increased to an extent which necessitated

HOW THEY DO.
The Effect a Newspaper Puff
 On Some Men.

It is more fun % see a man read q puff of himself in . new. paper than to see fst man slip on banana peel says an exchange. Tho narrow mind- cd man rssds it over seven or eight times and then goes around and ap- pr~r Ates vha' copies he can. The kind hearted man goes home and reads te his wife and then goes so the o4ss and pays up what he owes- The .uccessful business man who ad. vertis.s regularly and makes money. immediately starts out to find the editor, and the two walk silently and thoughtfully down the street together and the business man takes sugar in his'n. and they both eat a clove or two and life is sweetsr, peace settles down on their hearts for @ moment. Such is the experience of mustard seeds that fall on different soil.

Take that ouncs of silver to Buenos Ayres and it will purchase the same. one bushel, but it's value is about Sl 30, therefore it ia not queer thing that they are satis- fled to sell for an ounce of eilve-, and thereby fix the price of our products i; they dolng we'll and we are hard up.
