4 PETITION FOR 4 SAINT.

It is interesting to notice that petf- tion has been addressed to the Holy Synod in Russia by two hundred Czechs living in Russia asking for the canoni- zation of John Huss, and it is said that M. Pobiedonostzeff, the Procurator of the Holy Synod, has already declared himself in favor of the idea. Should it be realized" a Prague paper says,
 "a ong-cherished wish of the Czech nation would be fulfilled, because in all our old national songs John Huss, the Czech reformer, is called saint. And a Vienna correspondent of an English paper remarks: There can be no doubt that the canonization of John Huss by the Orthodox Church would be more than a mere compliment to the Czechs. It would be a preparation for Orthodox propaganda in Bohemia and Moravia, which, as long as the laws of this coun- try are unaltered, could no more be pre- vented by the Austrian authorities than conversions to Professionalism by means of aid in money from Germany, and in particular from Saxony The mem- ory of John Huss, who, was not only a church reformer, but also a Czech poli-

---------------------------- FOR MUk kE AXPANSfON.

The sub committee of the Committee of Commerce, of which Senator Nell son of Minnesota is chairman, will in- troduce a bill providing for the estab- lishment of a new executive depart ment of the government, to be known as the department of commerce and industries Senator Nelson believes that the new branch would not increase the actual expenses of administration more than $50,000 year. There would be a secretary of commerce, who would be the head of the department and a member of the cabinet, and would re- ceive a salary of $S,O00, an assistant secretary of commerce, who would be paid s3,000, and chief of the proposed bureau of manufactures who would be paid $3,000. The department would in- clude a number of bureaus already ex- isting, whose object is directly or indi- rectly the promotion of the growth of commerce ana lfluuStTleS, dIlu WHICH are now parts of other executive branches. It would be necessary to make some changes in and additions to their working forces; but, Senator Nelson thinks, these would not be eo great or of such nature as materially to increase their expenses, while by taking them from departments which are overloaded and classifying them to- gether, their efficiency would be very materially improved
 Although our commerce is getting along pretty well without Commerce department at Washington there is good reason to believe that it would profit by such department. We want all the commerce that can be got and all there is, if possible.

THE IS1HMIAN CANA

One of the most interesting and inn winter will be that over the Isthmian canal. The majority of the Canal com- mission favors the Nicaraguan route, but Commissioner Morrison thinks that the Panama route should be selected. The most northerly route is favored for hygienic reasons, because the winds are more favorable for sailing vessels, be- cause for ports on the Atlantic and Pa cific coasts of North America it's use will save one day and for gulf ports two days and because it will take only six years to build the canal, while 1t will take ten years to finish the Pana- ma canal. Then, too, it will cost only $1S9, ,S00,OOO to build the canal through Lake Nicaragua, while it will cost $1O9,- 00o,O0O to buy out the Panama company and s144,ooo,ooO to complete the caanl, making a total of $253, ,O00,000.
 There is room for decided difference of opinion in the matter, and the report of Commissioner Morrison will give the advocates of the Panama route and those interested in selling the big ditch there a good basis to work on. Per haps the report of the majority isn't likely to be upset, but stranger things have happened than its upsetting would be.

BE1TER THAN uAR1FoRD.

Well, New Haven is better than
 Hartford, anyway. Hartford had a prize-fight on Thanksgiving Day, in
 which, though it was short, there, was great sport and genuine, unadulterat- ed knockout. New Haven was expect ing to have prize-fight last evening and she did have a little one in one of the preliminary bouts" but what was expected to be the real thing was stop ped before it became real by a faithful and high minded policeman who had received instructions not to let New Haven sink to the level of Hartford
 He seen his duty and he done it," and New Haven can now thump the protu- berant chest and be thankful that she is better than Hartford.
 It is not probable that New Haven will be distinguished as a fighting cen ter this winter. When people pay to see a prize-fight they want to see one. "Sparring for points" isn't exciting enough to draw large audiences or much money. Last nights performance was disappointing to the sports, and they may concur in calling New Haven mo good" and in feeling that promising industry has not been sufficiently pro- tected here. But the majority of the people will not grieve if the city is out of favor with the sports so long as it continues to be approved by the football enthusiasts.

Dangers of Gambling.

Reports of large fortunes gained in
q day on the stock exchange are demor-
alizing and lead to crime. Not long
ago story was told of how ex-senator
Pettigrew had made 100000 in few
weeks. The dimensions of the win
nings rose to $3.50, ,0O9 and then to- 3d..
OOO,OO0 The report was started in Min
neapolis and not at any time with Mr..
Pettigrew's authority. The Press has
started that he made some money in
land deals, but it has never heard from
him, nor from any one who could speak
with authority, that he made dollar
on Wall street.
A few days ago it was reported that
Grover Cleveland has made 100000 in
a day and now the story comes that
Bird G. Coler won 5000, 900 on the rise
in Northern Pacific stock.
Almost simultaneously comes the sto-
ries of three bankers who have COM
mitted suicide because they lost their
heads and, yielding to temptation, took
money belonging to other people, spe.
culated with it and lost They faced
the peniten.iary or death and they
chose to die by their own hands.
There are few men who make money
bySWall street speculaSions and fewer
who keep money made IN that way
The men who get rich are those on tht
inside, the people who make the mar

in margins. They buy stock outright
and hold it for higher markets or TO-

the markets as their interests may die

how the market is going. When the.

Proclamation by the Mayor.

In compliance with q custom that
is becoming more general with each
succeeding year, that municipal au-
thorities participate in the observation
of Declaration Day exercises, I desire
to call upon all the people of Canton to
aid and assist in the beautiful cere-
monies of that day. Let us lay aside
business or our usual avocations for a
brief period that we may fittingly
commerate the heroic devotion and
self. sacrafce of those who risked health
and life for the welfare and preserva-
tion of our common country.
Therefore, L, as Mayor of the City of
Canton, do hereby call upon, all the
people of this city by their presence
and example to turn out on Thursday,
May 30, A. D., 1901, and join with the
veterans Of General Lyon

lie in participating in the exercises of

CONDITION
CANTON BANK
Assets Will Pay Close To
100 Cents On Dollar
Careful Unobstructed Management Will
Bring About This Result.

After careful investigation into the
affairs of the Canton State Bank. and
information gained from reliable au-
thority the LEADER is in position to
state for the benefit of the depositors
that the condition of the failed bank,
after thorough examination by Pub
lie Examiner Henry Cooper, shows the
assets, as proven by the books, papers,
notes, accounts and other evidence, to
be about $73, 900, and liabilities about
1000. These assets will shrink con-
siderable because some are not collect
able.
The largest shrinkage will come
from the notes and overdrafts of w.
3. Wait of Lennox, which will amount
to over nine thousand dollars. and as
Wait was discharged in bankruptcy
las winter, nothing need be looked for
there.
Mr.. Bacon and Mr.. Larsen are in.
debted to the bank in a large amount
which will be total loss. Then there
are overdrafts by other parties to a con
! siderable amount. There will be moth
ing left for the stockholders, but by
careful and conservative and wise man
agement ,depositors will realize nearly
the face of their deposits.
There is an attorney in the city
claiming that he has a claim for an
Omaha commission firm amounting to
over ten Thousand dollars but the bank
books show that this firm is in debt to
the bank andassignee Kennedy inform.
ed the Omaha attorney that he repu.
dated the Omaha claim and would do
everything possible to see that all the
assets of the bank were apphed to the
payment of the honest depositors.
Nothing can be done towards settling
the estate in assignment until sche-
dule is made and filed and bond fur
nished and approved by Judge Jones.
The bond must be in double the
amount Of the property, 80 that the
bond will be about $780, 900.

this matter into the hands of the Fed
eral court by bankruptcy proceedings.
This would be a calamity to the honest
depositore az it would take the matter
of settlement away from home. and
further, the depesitors do not purpose
to be robbed any more.
The State Bank Examiner Mr.. Coop
or, has list Of every asset. and lives in
Canton, and is a fair-mined honorable
gentleman. able and careful in dis
charge of duty, and can keep IN eye on
the bank matters and see that the es-
tate in assignment is honestly handled.
The depositors have absolute conf
dence in Mr.. Cooper.
Nothing in the way of settlement,
nor can an asset be disposed Of without
the approval Of Judge Jones, and that
he will not allow the interests Of the
depositors to suffer. they may be assured
of. The assignee must discharge his
duties under the complete direction of
the court, and no man need be alarmed
over ''too much mouth on the street
corners.
