GERMAN NATIONAL BANK
OF NEWPORT, KENTUCKY


Closed Its Doors Monday Morning by order
OF Comptroller of the Currency.
Newport, KY, Nov. 10. The German
National Bank was closed today by Il
order OF the Comptroller of the Cur /
rency. This action was taken after an
examination of the books, started yes
terday, when the national bank ex-
aminor took possession of the institu-
tion, on rumors that Assistant Cashier
Brown had embezzled 5000, 600.
Comptroller Of the Currency Dawes
has appointed Oliver p. Tucker,
national hank examiner, temporary re-
csiver OF the German National Bank. 4
Mr.. Tucker telegraphed the Comptroller
that he had charge, owing to the dis
covery OF defalcatlon amounting to
abouts 1896, 600. and thereupon thel
| Comptroller appointed him temporary
| receiver.
The officials here consider 1t astonish- |
ing that defalcation amounting toll
more than the reserve of the bank COULD
have remained undiscovered for anyV
length Of time, but they attempt to offer
no explanation.
| National Bank Examiner Tucker said
the alleged defalcation was not DIS
covered by him until 10 o'clock Satur.
day night, and that both he and the,
banks own experts had been unable toI
find anything wrong until that time
The discovery was made in oomrRri-
son Of Browns Individual ledger with
the cashiers daily checking up. Here,
it was found that Brown had been
forcing balances from day IL day until
the total Of $192, 900 had besn with
drawn from the funds Of the bank. The
examiner further said that the matter
Of criminal proceedings had been
referred TO United States District
At orney Miller of Louisville, who
probably will cause warrant for
Browns arrest to be issued. The ex-
aininer said he had not taken this step,
because he knew Brown was absent.
!, The only bond which the bank holds
is that of Paris u. Brown. father Of tie
assistant cashier, who is u riyerman
and president of the Consolidated boat
Store Go. This bond is an open one,
! conditioned to cover any shortage by
Q the son. Mr.. Brown has voluntarily
q offered his entire property to meet lis
obligation.
Q The bank was the depository OF nine
building associations and of the ad
: joining corporations of Bellevue, Day
ton and other towns, as we'll as OF about
1850 individuals and firms.
There are no indications OF an accom-
plics, or of anyone knowing atou
1t Browns departure or destination.

This Baltimore Sun finds encourage
ment in the conoensus of opinion among
business men generally, irrespective of
marty, and also among some Republican
leaders In Congress that the war tax
should be wholly or in large part re-
Eealed at the coming session. In
urging reduction of taxation at
time when there was revenue in ex-
cess Of the requirements of government
Mr.. Cleveland declared that unneces-
cary taxation is unjust taxation. That
is SO plain proposition that it would
scarcely seem necessary to state II.
And yet Congress permits this unjust
taxation TO continue. 1t continued in
Mr.. Cleveland's time until great
amount accumulated.
Congress has no moral right the Sun
contends, to levy one cent for taxation
upon the people beyond the amount re-
auired for the conduct Of the govern
ment economically administered. Any
thing beyond that Is legalized robbery.
And yet the taxes levied to provide
funds for the Spanish War are still col,
lected, although the, war ended tive
years ago. These taxes, along with the
sxtortions Of the Dingley Tariff bill
have produced, during the present fisca
year, more than was required by eighty
million dollars. For the next fisca
year. that ending July LIST, 1902, thu
surplus revenue is estimated at thirt.
millions. At the time Of the great sur
plus which had been accumulate'
during Mr.. Cleveland's first term TIL
demand for reduction OF taxation
was met by spending tho surplus in tn
payment Of pensions and in other way
and then by levying still heavier taxes
which were repealed by the Wilson bill
1t is to be hoped that the present SUI
plus will not be distributed to favore
steamship companies as subsidies. br
that the taxes will be repealed.

Really, we can see no good in the
Dover Delawarean and the Dover Index
quarleling over the quality of the
leadership OF the Democratic party of
Delaware during the last campaign.
The fact remains that the party was
Overwhelmingly defeated. The returns
give consolation, however, in the fact
that the Democrats of Kent aud Sussex
counties made the best fight they have
made for years, and came very near to
making the former county Democratic.
The Republican majority in Sussex
was also largely reduced, and the
Democrats elected their county ticket.
The party suffered worse in New
Castle county, where political treachery,
She corrupt use OF money and large
negro registration practically gave the
Republicans the Legislature. The
thing to do is to keep right on al
work, without quarreling about leader
ship, and Delaware may be restored te
