OF the members of the river and harhor

BANK RESERVE IN GOOD SHAPE
New York Institutions Gain Largely
in Cash,

IN OaSn,
New York, Jan. 12.-The Financier
says:
The New York clearing house banks
added $11 ,64S, 500 to their cash hold
ings last week and as increased reserve
requirements called for only a little over
So, 100000, the surplus rose $S, ,O51, ,975,
standing at $22, 1893, ,O5O, which figure is
the highest since September l last, prior
to the beginning OF the crop movement
The gain in cash was much larger than
expected, but the source of expansion
can be traced directly to interior remit
tances and receipts from the subtreasury
on current operations. As the current
OF supply now under way is likely to
flow in this direction for some time, the
inference is that the surplus will be
added to during the coming weeks. The
one possible cause for depletion of ex-
cess reserve lies in the probability of
gold exports, but it would require con
siderable movement to counteract the
gains which the banks are now making.
Whether gold will go out is a question,
but the chances at present are in favor
of export.
The movement of money is now almost
T.,
when the surplus reserve of about $12,-
100000 reported during the first week
OF January rose to nearly $30,000,00O
at the close of the month. Between
January and the second week in March,
however, there was fall in surplus OF
$25, 100000.
A puzzling feature of the statement is
Ike slOwness with which the loans are re-
spending to the great volume of bus-
ness OF the stock exchange The prob
abilities are that an extensive liquidation
has been in process or that the trust
companies have been handling q larger
volume OF business than they have been
given credit for. The expansion of $14,-
3S6, 100 in credit deposits comes for the
most part through receipts OF cash
The revelation of the strong position of
the New York banks under natural con-
ditiOns will have temporary effect on
the money market, though present rates
are remarkably easy. 1t is not likely
this will check the tendency of interior
funds to flow east, as similar conditions
in past years had little influence in this
direction.
The Twentieth Century.
We now stand at the threshold of the
twentieth century land the nineteenth is a

ways be known as the century of inven.
tion and discovery, and among some OF
the greatest of these we can truthfully
mention Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
the celebrated remedy for all ailments
arising from disordered stomach, such
as dyspepsia, indigestion, fatulency
constipation, nervousness and bilious
ness. 1t has been one OF the greatest
blessings to mankind during the past
fifty years as health builder. Many

PUBLIC EDITS THE MAGAZINE.
The Editor Simply Edits the Public
Thought, Says Edward Box.

1T is the public that edits a maya
zine writes Edward Box in the Jauua-
ny Ladies' Home Journal. The editor
simply edits the public's thought as il
comes to him for expression through
his magazine. In the manne in which
he presents that thought he may stamp
his personality upon it, and so We know
that there is an individuality behind
the printed page. But the thought re
mains that of the public, whether edited
by the editor in manuscript or express
ed with his own pen. He remains sim
ply n medium placed in control of a
channel of expression. That channel
represents certain principles, and those
principles become what is called the
policy of the magazine. This policy
determines whether certain questions
shall be discussed in the affirmative or
the negative. or whether the questions
are important enough to be discussed
at all. For instance. the Ladies' Home
formal believes in everything that will
make a woman's life simpler. more
restful and more cheerful. That is its
policy because it is the principle of its
conductors-that principle being based
upon observation, experience and con
viCtion. On this policy the magazine
either ignores or opposes any
thing which it's conductors are %Convinc-
| cd, for well-grounded reasons, will COM
Ilicate the lives of women or make
them restless, and therefore less happy.
Such a policy. II might say, is the
backbone of a magazine. Upon it it
tests, and this it reflects in its opin-
len.

INDIAN
They Illustrate Clusters Last Flight,
Drawn by the Sioux.

Drawn by the Sioux.
If a story that comes out Of the
west Is true, it is likely hat there will
be given to the world some interesting
picture stories of Clusters last fight
drawn by some Of the Sioux, who, in
June Of the Centennial year, killed
Chief Yellow Hair and every man in
his five psf troops, on the Little Big
Horn, in Montana. Though Indians lie
like sin, theirs is the only account Of
the extinction Of Clusters personal
command on that hot Sunday which
ever can be given. The more eager the
white men have seemed to get the
truth of the fight from the Sioux, the
more given to romancing the Indians
have become. Perhaps it's only human
nature for the sole witnesses to make
the most of their chance. Frank Cir
ard was one Of Reno's scouts on that
day. He, another scout and two SOL
diers escaped in the stampede and re-
treated to Reno. and hid in a hollow,
emerging on the following night and
joining Reno. Girard recently has
been up at the Pine Ridge Agency try
ing to get the Sioux to tell the story Of
the fight in detail. Incidentally, he
saw some pictures Of the battle which
had been drawn by a young buck with
the aid of suggestions furnished by
his elders who actually were there. 1t
is said that these pictures number 60,
and are drawn on water color on the
leaves of an old agency book, and H.
lustrate the conflict from start to fin
ish. Girard is the first mar not an
Indian, it Is said. that ever saw these
pictures, and no white man ever could
have bought them. But Girard speaks
their tongue fluently, as for nearly a
score of years he was a scout in their
country and now hat peace reigns, they
regard him as a great and good friend.
So they gave him the book, and, &C.
cording to the story, he Is going to
have it published some day, with an
account OF the battle in which the
Sioux version shall be told. It certain
ly will be an interesting publication

STATE PRESS


Predatory Subscribers. . e.. e..
1t is proposed that the editors Of Wy
oming meet at once and request the
Sixth Wyoming Legislature to pass
= predatory wild subscribers bounty
bill. Subscribers who do not pay the
required amount to sustain the press
made great inroads upon newspa-
perdom and it is conceded that $4,000
is not overly much to ask from the
state as n bounty to protect the indus
try. There is no doubt that with clever
work n bill can be passed. which per
chance might have to be cut down to
$4,000, for this purpose, and the COM
missioners OF the various counties be
instructed to add an equal sun to that
appropriated by the state. There Is no
doubt that the newspapers are a great
factor in the u%pbuilding of the state
and the bounty asked for will be rcadi-
ly granted by a wise legislaturc.-I.ar-

such as sour stomach, sick headache,

heart, heartburn, wa~ter-brash, gnaw-
ing and burning pains at the pit of the
stomach, yellow skin, coated tongue
and disagreeable taste in the mouth,
