A Lawyer, But Not a Financier.

Judge Hepburn has written the
following communication to the
Boise Statesman in regard to the
beauties of the new financial law of
the United States:
Boise, May 13.-Editor Statesman:
In your issue Of the 18th through an
imperfect report of my remarks at the
Lewiston convention 1 am made to
state the provisions of the financial
bill enacted by the republican congress
in such manner as to be misleading.
The facts are that under the provisions
OF That bill national bank can be es-
tabsished anywhere without regard to
population and under it's provisions any
community may regulate the volume OF
money in circulation, independent OF
the larger money centers, and it is no
longer within the power Of any fnan-
cial combination to contract the cur
rancy or the volume of money in circu-
lation to the detriment of any portion
of our people. National banks may be
established wherever desired or needed
with a capital of $4,000 in places hav-
ing population of 5000 or less. The
persons desiring to establish such a
hank. whether a few men or whole
community, must get together the sum
of So, 600 or more if they desire, and
purchase that amount of government
bonds, which they then deposit in the
United States treasury, whereupon the
government of the United States prints
and delivers to the bank when organic
ed S25, 900 in paper currency, denoml-
mated national bank notes. With this
money the bank is equipped for busl-
ness it has tnat amount of money With
which to do business in the community
md if the community has any business
4o do or value to give for it the money
will speedily be in general circulation
The amount of money in circulation IN
anv community in the United States
will therefore be under cantrol of the
,.oon1e of that community and the mon
ov 90 issued has behind it the faith anc
,.radit Of the government of the United
states, represented by its bonds deposit
ed in the treasury to secure the note'

,
hat no man can borrow to exceed
of the capital stock, and
IN the kind Of a bank he speaks of
this wonld mean only $4,000.
Everyone knows that all the princi-
pal deals, that is the ones that make
money for the bank, are for sums
much larger than 50, 500. There
fore the $25, 900 bank would lose
all the big business of the commun-
ity. It could only handle small
loans and usually the men who want
small sums of money have little
security to offer, and taking out
that part of the community who
would want big loans and those who
would have nothing at all to offer
for security, there would be very
few left who would have any bush
ness for the bank. Then again the
men who would be the heaviest pro-
spective customers of the bank, but
who could not get accommodated,
owing to the national banking law
affecting the small bank, would de-
post their money in banks at other
places where they could borrow suf-
fcient sums when they wanted it.
These, with the people in the COM
munity who would have no money
to deposit at all, would cut the list
of the banks depositors down to
very limited number.
But, for the sake Of argument,
let us suppose that $25, 900, the
banks capital, would be available
for business. Let us presume that
the bank would have $50, 600 in de
posts, tit could not figure on this
sum, however, much before live
years,) This would make $75, 900
it would have to do business on.
From this we must deduct at least
$40, 600 for cash on hand and in its
correspondent banks. Then there
is 50, 500 for vault, fixtures and a
place to do business in, leavin e
$62, 500. Any banker, even IN the
west, will tell the Judge that if the
handling of this money brings in
eight per cent it is doing exceed.
ingly we'll. This means an income
! of $4,000, to cover salaries for al
least two men, taxes, stationary,
postage and host of other small
expenses, always connected with
| banking, to say nothing of occa-
sional bad loans. SO it will be seer
!. that under the most favorable cir
+ cumstances a small national bank
( could make very little money. In
: deed, unless all the circumstances
were very favorable, 1t would hard

THE RIGHT THING.
A New Catarrh Cure, Which is Rapidly
Coming to the Front.

winning ~ HAAC AO4I
For several years, Eucalyptol, Guaicol
: and Hydrastin have been recognized as
standard remedies for catarrhal troubles,
| but they have always been given sep
arately, and only very recently an in
genious chemist SUCCEEDED in combining
them, together with other antiseptics
into a pleasant, effective tablet.
Druggists sell the remedy under the
name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and it
has met with remarkable success in the
cure of nasal catarrh, bronchial and
throat catarrh and in catarrh of the
stomach.
Mr.. f. N. Benton, whose address is
care of Clark House, Troy, N Y, says;
When l run up against anything that is
good I like to tell people of it. l have
been troubled with catarrh more or less
for some time. Last winter more than
ever. Tried several so-called cures, but
did not get any benefit from them. About
six weeks ago l bought a so cent box of
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, and l am glad
to say that they have done wonders for
me and / do not hesitate to let all my
friends know that Stuarts Catarrh Tab
let's are the right thing.
Mr.. Geo. J. Casanova, of Hotel Griffon
West 9th street New York City, writes:
l have commenced using Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets and already they have given me
better returns than any catarrh cure
have ever tried.
A leading physician of Pittsburg advises
the use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets in
preference to any other treatment for
catarrh of the head. throat or stomach.
He claims they are far superior to in
halers, salves lotions or powder, and are
much more convenient and pleasant to
take and are so harmless that little chill
dren take them with benefit, as they con-
tain no opate, cocaine CT any poisonous
drug.
All druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's at so cents for full sized package and
they are probably the safest and most
reliable cure for any form of catarrh

Durban Dispatches Tell of Battle on the
 Tugela

London, February IS, S:5O a. m.-The war office made the usual statement at midnight that it had not news, but about the same time came dispatches from Durban,. dated late Saturday evening, giving reports of the renewed fighting on the Tugela, where the censor stopped all the telegrams. Ar rivals at Durban from the Tugela say that important operations are progressing and that fighting has occurred daily since the commencement of the week. In these en- agreements the British casualties have been comparatively light. According to these unconfirmed reports General Butler had re- occupied Vaalkrantz and the Boers had re- treated in the direction of the Free State
 In the meantime wounded officers and men are arriving daily at Durban and are placed aboard the four hospital ships now there.
 Dispatches from zululand, received at Durban, say the country is quieting down, thanks to the appearance of a flying col umn. The Boe-s seem nervous and uncer- tain and have stayed their advance

Arriving at Frankfort

Frankfort, Ky, February 1.-The ad- journment of the democratic legislature at Louisville today to meet here Monday re- wives interest in the political contest, and promises to put an end to the hull which Las prevailed during the last few days There are more democratic members in town tonight than have been here together at any one time since they adjourned and fled to avoid being arrested and taken to London.
 Only a few of the leaders arrived tonight. Those who are here say that sessions at Frankfort will continue as long as there is collision between them and Governor Taylors soldiers. No definite understand ing has been reached between the demo- crats and republicans of the senate whether Lieutenant Governor Marshall, republican, or President Pro-tem Carter, democrat shall preside, but the decision of the dem ocrats to return to Frankfort is generally construed as indicating that they conclud- ed there was no danger of serious clash over the chair.
 Colonel James-Andrew Scott one of the democratic attorneys in the contest cases, and a devoted friend of the late Governor Goebel, is preparing defense of the Goe- bel election law. It will be issued next week and will be in the nature of an ad- dress to the country, setting forth the pro- visions of the law and correcting what MT Ccott thinks is a false impression with many people as to its import and work ings.

Ged. Mex.a's Will Broken

Houston, Tex, February TIA special from Dallas, Tex, says:
 'The jury in Judge Reckford's court, af- ter being out less than two hours this even- ing, brought in verdict breaking the will of the late General E. A. Mexa, the Mexi- can soldier and statesman. The estate is valued at more than a million dollars. The point on which the jury based it's verdict was one entirely of fact-that General Mexia made his will on July 30 1896, under undue influence, and not of his own free will. This verdict is a hard blow at Inez Mexia, the principal beneficiary under the provisions of the will, and who according to the testimony, was the most potential director of General Mexia's course during the closing years of his life. The effect of the verdict, if it stands in the upper courts is to cut out everybody except Armada Mex la, of Paterson, N. J., and Inez Mexia, of the City of Mexico, without consideration of heirship, and they will have to prove in the courts which is the legal heir of Gen eral Mexia. Inez it is said, was born of a church marriage, while Armada, 1t is claim ed, is of common law marriage, this play ing prominent part in the suit.
 A motion for new trial will probably be made on Monday next

BLIZZARD IN NEW YORK
Poor Are Sufering-A -Ambulances Kept

New York, February H.-With all the fury of a blizzard the first real snow- storm of the winter descended upon New York today, accompanied by high winds. About ten inches had fallen by midnight. but t'he fall was then growing lighter and the air turning colder Great was the men, ace to shipping because of the blinding and the inshore winds The last ship to ar rive in this port today was the Campania, which passed quarantine at 4:30 a. The American liner St. Louis was due this morning, but she was not reported up to midnight. LaTouraine Is due tomorrow, but it is not expected that Sc will reach port on time. The last ship out was the Eeruria, which left her pier at a. m. The Grafwalderse, which attempted to pass out, went aground near Romer Shoals at D. m. Harbor shipping was almost at stand still. On land trains were delayed and in many instances stalled by the storm, the high wind causing the snow to drift.
 As a result of the storm the poor of the city suffered greatly and the department of charities had to extend its utmost en- orgies to relieve sufferers. great many accidents were reported by police and am- balances from the various hosiptals were continually on the go throughout the day. As many as forty persons suffered from fractured limbs from falls. As yet but one death from cold and exposure has been re- ported Throughout the suburbs of New York, in Long Island and about New Jer- sey every thing pointed to a partial block ade By snow.

WILKINSON WRITES OF THE SITUATION Roberts Plan Was Brilliantly
 Executed. CRONJE AVOIDED THE BLOW It is Useless to Speculate Upon the Net Move of Roberts Until Oper- ations Around Kimberly
 Are Explained.
CRONJE AVOIDED THE BLOW

London, February 17.-Spencer Wilkin- son. the military expert, reviewing the sit nation in South Africa for the Associated Press, at midnight says:
 Lord Roberts has begun his campaign by striking at the principal Boer force in the western theater of war-that of Com- mander Cronje, covering the siege Of Kim berley.
 "In a little over three weeks Lord Rob- erts had completed the organization of his force. He then quietly massed some 5000O men, four infantry divisions and cavalry division near the selected point. reacli,g g Modder river station on Friday, February S. He must have put his troops in motion with the least possible delay, for on Mon day the action began. It was an attempt to turn the Boer position by marc1 around its left CT eastern flank
 "On Monday General Frenoh's cavalry seized the passages of the Riet river south east of Jacobsdal, and were at once fol- lowed up by two infantry divisions. On Tuesday the cavalry moved north and seized the crossing of the Modder. river, the infantry following at their heels On Thursday when one division of infantry was on the Modder and the other close be- hind It between the two rivers the cavalry moved forward toward Kimberley dis persed the besiegers from the southeastern front and opened communica tions~ th the town.
 "The same day the troops from the old camp at Modder river station opened com munication with Jacobsdal, which had al- ready been taken. Thus Lord Roberts had a semi-crcle around the Boer petition at Magersfontein from Kimberley on the north to Modder river station on the south, and possibly the line was prolonged from Mod der river station to the southwest so that General French might hope by passing through Kimberley, to complete the circle and enable Lord Roberts to envelpe and capture Cronje's whole force.
 The Result Hoped for
 "This was the result hoped for. The plan was brilliantly conceived and vigorously executed, but Cronje has been able to avoid the blow.
 "Of the First and Ninth divisions no men, tion has been made in the dispatches and the inference is that a part of the design is as yet undisturbed. Possibly their func- tion Is to complete the circuit on the west. Perhaps, too, a force is making to the east ward, south of the Modder ricer to intercept Cronje, though as the mounted Boers cover fifty miles a day no infantry can catch them. A part of the Boer foice may have retreated to the northwest toward Barkley and will no doubt be pursued.
 ''There can be no doubt that Kimberley

Washington, February 17.-Sena.or Clark, of Montana, was on the witness stand be- fore the senate committee on elections for about four hours today, and when the com mttee adjourned for the day only his ex- animation in chief had been completed, leaving his cross-examination for next Mon day. His tetosimopy. related solely to che charges made aestinst hdm in connection with his electionsby she legislature of Mon tana to the United States senate during its session last winter,
 He denied explicitly all the charges of the use of money by himself or with his con- ntvance or consenF to corrupt members of the legislature in his behalf. He admitted having paid an aggregalte of about sl15,0O0 during the campaigns but said this expendi- ture was for legitimate purposes only. The large outlay was due to the fact. he said, that he had contracted to pay all the ex- penses of campaign against MT. Daly's rule in the state, and he had gone into the compact to that end, because he considered Mir Dalys rule tyrann,cal and opposed to the best interests of the state.
