Charles g. Dawes, comptroller OF the
currency, has made public the results
Of the investigation into the number
OF loans and deposit accounts, rates
Of interest and resources Of the com
bined banks Of the United States in
the years 1889, 1894 and 1893. The
general deductions from the investiga-
ton covering the last ten years is
given by the comptroller as follows;
That the number Of individual de-
positors in the banks Of the United
States is constantly increasing, as in
dicated by the regular increase in the
number Of deposit accounts Of the
combined banking systems; that there
Is a demand from borrowers for the
use Of the greater proportion Of the de-
posits Of banks, and while the num-
Der Of individual borrowers Is increas-
ing the depositors greatly outnumber
the borrowers, and the increase in the
number Of borrowers IS much less than
the increase IN the number Of deposit
orn; that the growth Of the banking
systems IS being characterized by a
gradually lessening rate Of interest
charged on loans; that, considering the
large cllentage Of national and savings
banks, the average deposit Of the in
dividual or corporation is slowly in
cfeasing; that the average size Of the
loans, ali classes Of banks considered
has not varied much IN the last de-
cade.

THE FALL OF KIPLING
FURIOUS CRITICISM or ROBERT
BUCHANAN.

Tone.

Robert Buchanan, whose fierce at
tack on Rudyard Kipling In the Con-
temporary Review is the literary SEN
sation Of the day, has always been
noted for plain words whenever he
comes out as a critic. Kipling, he as
serts, has seldom uttered anything
that does not suggest moral base
ness" The uncrowned laureate, says
Mr.. Buchanan, takes his inspiration
from the street tough and sings "the
coarse and soulless patriotism Of the
hour" The object of true Imperialism
Is ITO free man, not to enslave him."
Mr.. Buchanan some years ago turned
literary London inside out by a iero-

THEY SAY NO.

At the Fourth of July meeting that
was. held in E. and M. Library last
Wednesday evening the Ladies
Society to the B. of L. F. were re-
quested to take charge of the ball on
the night Of the Fourth. The Presi-
dent of that order being present prom
isedlto call special meeting to decide
whether or not the order would be will
Ing to undertake this part Of the pro-
gramme and advise the executive com
mittee as to the result.
1t was very easily decided and in a
way that was most satisfactory to num-
Der of the members at least. 1t was
rumored that not a few protests had
been entered against that society alone
handling the crowd OF dancers on that
night and as this order is only in its in
fancy, 1t does not want all the glory, If
glory there be. neither does 1t court the
enmity Of the older and more perhaps
experienced orders of Ladies Society's
In Wadsworth. therefore the Fourth of
July ball will be left with the executive
committee for future date, when they
will appoint committee consisting of
as many earnest and jealous workers,
who have had experience and are not
afraid to get in and dig as they think
will be necessary. We hope too that
there will be no hard feelings enter
tanned against the executive committee
by any Of the orders that happen to be
overlooked for 1t is the intention of
this committee to please or try to
please every one and we all are aware
Of the task before them. x.

Horses.

UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS,
April 3.-The receipts of horses for the in
itial sale this week were smaller, about
$50 having been offered, against $50 last
week and an equal number the correspond
ing time year ago. A few good heavy and
harness horses were offered, but, as usual
recently. chunks and drivers predominated
The attendance of buyers was not as large
as last week, and at the opening there were
apparently few urgent orders. Consequent
ly there was some heaviness to the bidding.
and the first transactions indicated a shade
lower prices than a week ago. However,
the first animals offered were not thor
oughly desirable, and 1t is possible that
there was as much change in quality as
price. Additional buyers arrived for the
afternoon market, and with increased COM
petition there was more life in the bidding,
and finally a very good clearance was ef-
fected at prices much the same as equal
kinds sold for a week ago. Good coach
horses sold in the auction and at private
sale as high as $500 and others at sl1Od175
Draft horses sold as high as $50 and
chunks and drivers at s50dl35, as to quail
ity.
