Beet Sugar Men to Fight On.
Following the action detailed in the
foregoing. the Republican members
who oppose the bill held a conference
in the committee room of Representa-
tive William Alden Smith, of Michi-
gan. About thirty members We're pres
ent, representing the various states in
tereSted in beet sugar production. No
formal action was taken. but the dis
cuSsiOn WAS in the line of continuing
the contest on the floor of the house.
1t is expected. however. that the Op-
position viii be from members indi-
Nidually, rather than from compact
and organized opposition. After the
meeting it was claimed by those pres
ent that about thirty Republicans
would speak and vote against the bill.
The ways and means leaders feel con-
tident that tie bill will pass. probably
by Republican votes. In any event
there is said to he more than sufficient
Democratic support of the bill to off
set the Republican detection.

DECISION OF GREAT IMPORTANCE TO

Detroit Banks Affairs.

DETROIT, April 1.-THE Wayne Circuit
Court to-day handed down a decision hold
ing that the savings depositors of the
wrecked City Savings Bank must be pre-
ferred over the commercial depositors i'm
the distribution of the money to be real
lied from the sales of the banks real estate
investments. The court holds that the
amounting to 1886, 2S2.S6, were made from
the savings department, that the interest
was turned into the savings department,
and that the failure of the bank was vir-
tually a failure of the commercial side of
the bank by overdrafts and ~pismanage-
ment. The court also traces Sill, 600 to the
savings bank side, and holds that il be-
longs exclusively to the savings depositors.
Both the real estate loans and this last
sum, the court holds, shall at their face
value so to pay the debt of the bank to
the savings depositors, but both times shall
contribute 10 the expense Of the receiver
ship. The court says that 1t has no power,
even in equity, TO take away assets owned
and reported in the savings branch and
give them to the commercial division. 1t
is further held that the savings depart
ment is a general creditor of the CONNER
cial department TO the amount of about
$500. coo, and shall share with the other
creditors in the distribution of the com
mercial assets. II this decision is upheld
by the Supreme Court, where the case will

When yOu bind your magazines by all
means bind in the advertising pages. If it
make too bulky a volume leave out some
of the literature, for to future generations
this will be of the least Importance. 1t is
probable that they will not be interested
in the adventures of the well-groOmed
young man with the iron jaw, who manipu-
lates revolutions in imaginary German
provinces and South American republics,
but they viii seek in the advertising what
the people wrote OF their own life without
the interference of the editor. Even the
most veritistic of novelists gives a less
truthful and vivid picture of the life of the
times than these pages published by the
people at their own expense. The Lacroix
OF the future Will seek in them for the
costumes and utensils of our century, and
will not waste his time over the pseudo
medieval Illustrations. The philologfan will
find here the first use of new words, and
the historian will draw from the advertise
ments his most telling quotations on the
manners and customs of our time. When
we look over a Harper of 1850 the semi
advertising pages, the book reviews and
the fashion plates are all that are of in
terest to us now. In the book auction of
fifty years hence a set of magazines with
the covers and advertising bound in will
bring five times the price of the ordinary
bound volumes.
