Montana Train Robbers In Ten
messee.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct 27.-A desperate
man fought his way clear of two city de-
tectives here today, and, after a thrill
ing chase, escaped. In his race for
liberty he utilized two horse wagon
team, a horse and buggy and riding
horse, all forcibly taken, while two dead
blood hounds mark the first portion of
his travels.
The officers believe the man is one of
the gang that held ur the Great North
ern express near Wagner, Mont, last
July, his attempt to get change for $40
bill of the series secured in that robbery
attracting attention OF the police to him.
At 1870 this morning a raw boned
man about feet 10 inches in height,
with florid complexion, offered "A bill in
payment Of small purchase made at a
store on the public square. Difficulty in
making the change caused the salesman
to notice the bill, which proved to be on
Il Montana bank, to which the stolen
bills were consigned. The police were
quietly notified, the clerk meanwhile
delaying the matter of change.
Detectives Dwyer and Dickens were
soon on hand and, approaching the mai,
demanded his name.
Ferguson" was the reply, and after
another question or two Detective
Dwyer informed the man that he was
under arrest. Quick as flash Ferguson
had revolver in each hand and started
for the door.
A hand to hand fight followed, both
officers graphing with the stranger, who
proved more than match for them.

way to the door and fled down the street

THE NEW NATIONAL BANKS.

Ninety new applications for national
the Treasury Department since the
18th of March, 1901. The approved ap-
plications from March IA, 1900, when
the gold standard law took effect, 10
the 9th of April, 1901, We're IA, rep
resenting proposed capital of $40, o,46o,-
900. OF this number 563 applications
We're for banks of less than $4,000
capital, with aggregate capital of S1i,-
5O5,000. All these banks first became
possible under the law of March Ii,
1900. which reduced the minimum
capital from $4,000 to $4,000. The
number of larger banks for which ap-
plications have been approved within
the period named has been 211, with
aggregate capital of $25, 100000. The
banks actually organized during the
period have been 529, with aggregate
capital of S27, ,3ST 900. The number of
small banks authorized under the new
law has been 369, with combined CAPT
tai of S9,702, 900; while the number of
larger banks has been 1G0, with conf
bined capital of $17,6S5, 900. These adj
ditions to the system, after allowance
for banks which have failed or gone
into liquidation, make the total num-
Der of active banks 4,09S, with au-
thorized capital of S643, 1G1, ,695.
1t is evident that the main purpose
of organization under the national
banking law is not to gain circulation.
With organizations involving a capital
of s2T, ,3ST 900 and permitting a circu-
lation to the whole of that amount If
the proper bonds We're deposited, the
minimum circulation required under
the law was about S6,SJ0,0o0. The
actual deposit of bonds for circulation
stands at 81 T,9S5, 600, or only about ST.
135, 900 above the actual minimum re
quirement. The country, however, is
not in want of large additions to its
circulating medium. When there is
so much gold there is less need of pa
per. Never before has the per capita
circulation been so large as now, and
never before have the facilities of eN-
change been so highly organized. In
other words, there is more money than
formerly, and every dollar of it can,
by reason of the leverage which banks
and clearing houses afford, be made to
perform work in the facllitation of eN-
change than was possible of yore. This
is no doubt the real reason why the
new national banks take out only Il
part of the circulation to which they
are entitled under the law.-Evening

The President In California

If there is any one state in the I'm.
welcome beyond that of any other,
that state is California. 1t has been
the good fortune of President McKin-
ley to inaugurate n new era in our ma
tional affairs and as result of the
events that have taken place in his
term of office and the policy which he
has been instrumental in promoting
the United States now faces westward
as well as eastward, and the Pacific
oven more than the Atlantic has been
brought under our dominion and con-
troll
A few years ago California was the
western limit of the United States; now
our territory stretches across the Pa
cific; Hawaii, Guam and the Philip
pines are the outposts of American
power and commerce, and California
is already profiting in large measure
from the increased interest in Pacific
and transpacific affairs.
1t is true beyond all question that
what helps one part of the country is Of
benefit to all of it, and the advantage
that has come from the expansion of
our Pacific trade is not confined to the
states of the western coast. But, as is
natural, they have felt it more prompt
ly and to a greater degree than others.
President Mckinley is the first pres
ident of the United States who has
visited the Pacific coast while in office.
The reception to him will be more en-
thusiastic and hearty, but it will have
an added warmth because his name Is
identified with a policy which has al
ready done much fo- California and
which in the future will contribute
much more powerfully towards the
realization of the greatness of the

Suffrage In Alabama

Alabama is the latest southern state
to follow the example of Mississippi
and South Carolina in preparing for
constitutional amendment which
will disfranchise the colored voters.
An election was held about two weeks
ago TO decide whether a convention
should be called for the purpose Of
amending the constitution in n man
ner similar to that in which the con-
stitutions of Mississippi and other
southern states have been amended,
and the result of the election was a
triumph for the revisionists.
In Alabama, even more than in the
other states mentioned, it is clear
that the object is solely to disfran-
chise the colored voters. The Demo-
cratic caucus which recommended the
holding of n special election passed a
resolution pledging the Democratic
party as follows: I'VE pledge our
faith TO the people of Alabama not
to deprive any white man of the right
to vote, except for the conviction OF
infamous crime"
In the other states, the conventions
have kept within bounds by passing
amendments which are nominally in
tended TO disfranchise illiterates of
both races. The real purpose was
plain enough, but it has not been
avowed so openly as in this case.
OF course, this amendment TO the
constitution of Alabama is in direct
conflict with the fifteenth amend
ment to the constitution of the United
States, and will be so pronounced If
it ever gets before the federal Su-
preme Court in a concrete case. 1t
also brings into operation that pro-
vision of the fourteenth amendment
which directs the Congress, when any
state makes n distinction against any
class of voters, to reduce the repre-
sentation of that state in Congress
proportionally.
The last Congress evaded th. re-
sponsibility which was cast upon 1t.
and in the new reapportionment bill
ullONtu 10 All tut sOututIu SNults ACP-
resentation in Congress in proportion
to their population. In the next Con
gress, however, the question can no
longer be evaded. There will be a
demand that the provisions of the
fourteenth amendment be applied. 1t
is nor fair that states which cast TO-
600 or 10000 votes in all for repre-
sentatives in Congress shall have as
many representatives as states which
cost 100000 or 100000. Colorado will
have three representatives, and in or
der to elect them will cast more than
100000 votes; Mississippi will have
seven representatives, elected by to-
tai vote of possibly 1900. Even max
ing allowance for the doubling of our
suffrage by the voting of women, this
is manifestly unfair, and it ought TO be
remedied.-Colorado Springs Evening
Mail.

The President at El Paso

Pleasing indeed, and auspicious in
promise of not only continuance but
a strengthening of the friendship be-
| tween the the two great American
republics, was the interchange of cour-
tesies at Ella Paso, Monday, on the
part of President Mckinley and the
representatives of President Diaz of
our honored chief executive for the
illustrious statesman, who, with such
consummate skill, has guided the foot
steps of the younger republic along the
paths of progress and in the direction
of n higher civilization, was heartily
sincere and thoroughly deserved. The
tribute paid us by President Diaz,
through his eloquent spokesman, was
equally genuine and significant Only
beneficent results can follow so felici-
tous an episode.
But, aside from its evidences of in
ternational good will, the event was
one of notable Importance in having
| been made the occasion by President
Mckinley for an official utterance in
which was clearly set forth the posi-
ton of the administration with refer
ence TO the imperialism" and mill
tarism" bugaboos. Said he, in his
speech: Here we are on the border
line between the United States and
another great republic, and on this
side of the line we have thirty-five
American soldiers and on that side
of the line there are less than $50
Mexican soldiers. SO that we are
| dwelling in peace and amity, and caus-
ing peace on earth and good will to
men, We want to settle our differ
ences, If we ever have any, with the
powers of the world, by arbitration.
We want TO exhaust every peaceable
means for settlement before we 20 to
war; and, while we have authority to
raise 100000 troops, the necessity does
not exist for that number, and we do
not propose to raise but $1,000. So
don't be alarmed about militarism and
Imperialism. We know no imperial
ism in the United States except the
Imperialism of n sovereign people"
Surely, with this declaration before
| them, and with the knowledge that ey-
cry recorded act or word for which
President Mckinley and his asso-
ciates are responsible, is of similar
import and in harmony Herewith,
the howlers and unfriendly critics can
scarcely escape the conviction that
their occupation is gone. At any rate
they are without following. The
people realize and rejoice in the fact
that under no other administration
have they enjoyed in greater degree
the blessings of unity, prosperity and
progress. They may be depended upon
to turn deaf ear toward the malcon-
tents and agitators who would ques-
ton the motives and discredit the Dur
poses of the loyal chief executive to
whose enlightened craftsmanship and
deyo-ed patriotism our national good
fortune is so largely due. I'VE know
no imperialism in the United States

minutes one could not zee five yards,
hailstones as big as pigeons eggs
smashing panes of glass and the stones
darting from one end of a room twelve

The most respected of ali beings, the stern ruler of most pow erful people, the kind sovereign, the loving mother. The uoblest of them all. Such great distinction will never again be so universally known. The long, active and burdensome career, the retention of faculties to the last moment are most remarkable.
