EX-PRESIDENT HARRISON'S VIEWS.
He Is in Thorough Sympathy with the Re
publican PARTY,
Denver Republican,

The Bryanites hoped that ex-Presi-
dent Harrison would be silent through
out the campaign, and hat they would
be able to attribute his silence to oppo-
sition to the administration. This hope
has been dashed to the ground by the
emphatic opposition to Mr.. Bryan's
election expressed by General Harrison
in a recent interview in New York.
General Harrison resolved after the
campaign of 1896, in which he took an
active part in behalf of the Republican
ticket, that he would make no more
campaign speeches. Long service in the
party and in public office, combined
with advancing age, made him feel that
he could with justice ask to be excused
from further work. In accordance with
that intention, he took no part in the
campaign Of 1898, and for the same rea-
son he has refused this year to- make
any speeches.
He emphatically ~contradicts the as
sertion thai he is not in sympathy with
his party. To remove all question con-
corning his position, he stated in the
interview referred to that he believed
that Mr.. Bryan's election would throw
governmental and business affairs into
confusion" In his opinion a change Of
administration would almost certainly
renew conditions from which we SO hap
PLY escaped when the administration of
President McKinlav was substituted fo,.
that of Mr.. Cleveland. 1.-THE full dinner
bucket" he said, "is not a sordid en-
blem. 1t has a spiritual significance for
the spiritually minded. 1t means more
comfort for the wife and family, more
schooling and less work for the chill
dren, and a margin of saving for sick
ness and old age"

MUST HAVE CORK HELMETS.

Army officers were considerably sur
prised at reading dispatches of the suf-
ferings of the American troops in China
from the heat on account of their hats.
1t was the belief that the regiments sent
to China had been equipped with cork
helmets and that their campaign hats
had been discarded. The heat of the
sun is dangerous, but over-heating of
the digestive organs is ven more so. To

TRACE STOLEN BANK NOTES.
Clever Work of Government Detee-
tives Have Been Rewarded
with Success.

The statement from secret service
headquarters that active search for
the thief who recently stole eight
blank bank notes from the bureau of
engraving and printing has been
abandoned calls to mind one or two
interesting incidents in this case. The
loss of the notes was discovered the
morning after it occurred, when the
package sheets from which they had
been extracted was subjected to a re-
count. Warning was at once sem out
to the national banks to look out for
eight notes lacking seal, check num-
bers and signatures. In some quar-
tiers this warning was deemed super
fiuous on the ground that no we'll
regulated bank would accept such i'm
perfect notes over it's counter; but
the response vas that some expert
forger might make clever representa-
tions of the seal, numbers and sigma
ture, and that in the haste of handling
large packages Of money the trick
might pass muster. Only six of the
Nv A"'o INV "a w Ially odU
every one of these had found it's way
into a we.l-regulated bank. Indeed,
one OF the first was sent to the treas
ury by a leading bank in this city,
says the Chicago Chronicle, with
a letter explaining in a tone of
premature exultation that the note
had been found in the midst of a
package of good ones sent to the bank
by a bank in Georgetown in settle
ment of IN outstanding balance.
Hardly had this letter time to go upon
file, however, before a. second bank in
good standing in Washington turned
in another of the notes, which it had
received from bank number one, on
which the laugh now conferred. The
treasury authorities are beginning to
wonder how much good is done by no
LITIGATION after all.
Inquiries have been many w since
the loss of the imperfect notes as to
where the loss falls in such cases. In
this instance it would fall on the gov
eminent, as the notes had not passed
out of it's custody at the time of their
abstraction. The fact that there was
no seal, check number or signature
counts for nothing. The government
had printed upon the notes the in
sigma of value, and innocent holders
had been deceived thereby. The re-
demption division of the treasury de-
partment is required to redeem all
genuine notes, perfect or imperfect,
which come into it through the regu-
lar channels. 1t happens once in
a while, though rarely, that after the
government has turned over to a bank
a parcel of notes ordered by it some
of these notes are stolen before sig
nature OF overlooked in the process
of signing a large number. In all
cases where notes have actually passed
into the custody of a bank and after
ward got into the hands of innocent
holders the bank is responsible and
its bond OF deposit with the treasurer
are held liable as security for the re-
demption of the notes. The theory of
the law is that if a bank does not
wish to be held responsible for it's
notes still in an imperfect stage it
should take better care of them.
