The Financier says: Despite the in
crease of almost slsSoooo0 in deposits the
reserve of the clearing house banks OF New
York city increased S.465.S00 last week.
This rise In the face OF the unusually heavy
expansion in the deposits was due OF course
to the fact that the flow Of money from the
interior continues In almost undated VOL
ume AS interest rates have been declining
rapidly 1t was anticipated that the i'm
petus given TO the return of money 10 New
York from other points might be somewhat
checked, but the returns fail TO show that
this decline yet has had any Influence
on the situation. The principal feature OF
the current statement Is the increase or

been pending for some time. Whether these
are entirely domestic In origin or whether
they involve international settlements IS
not plain, but az any rate they nave iol-
noted at this center. The loans for the
most part are traceable TO two or three OF
the largest banks. as Is also the gain IN
cash. Two banks report an increase OK
over 100000 In specie. which IS more than
the gain reported by all the banks. go in
deposits the principal expansion was caused
by the operations of. a few Wall-street m
stitutions of note. While doubt is expressed
as to the continued maintenance OF much
idle cash reserve over considerable length
of time, ii IS yet true that the present re-
serves of the banks are at a higher level
than for many months past, while the ex-
cess reserve is also above that reported az
the end of any week for a year. With these
facts in evidence IL is not surprising that
rates for money should have declined 50
sharply and dull stock market does not
make for a different situation"

THE MUELLER AND TIE GOVERNOR

The libel mueller" bill which
was signed by Governor Penny
packer, and which aroused the
anger of the city dailies so that they
boiled over, and cartooned the
Governor worse than ever before,
and dared him to sue them for dam
ages under the new libel law, has
apparently been dropped out OF
sight The Governor did not sue,
and the papers have let up on him,
both probably under orders from
Senator Quay. The mueller 4"
was first suggested by the Gov
ernor, it was passed by republican
machine legislature, and signed by
the Governor under pressure from
the machine leaders. In speaking
OF this subject the Bellefonte
Watehman says:
I" If there were any doubts con-
cerning the relationship cf the press
muzzler to the Republican ma
chine, the state convention has
dispelled them. After nominating
for head OF the ticket a gentleman
who voted for the mueller, the
convention, presided over by a
gentleman who not only voted for
it but trampled on the constitution
in order to make the vote effective,
placed Senator Penrose, who or
ganized the force in support of it,
at the head of the state committee
and endorsed as wise and patriotic
the Governor who gave it his ap-
prevail"
The truth is that the Republican
papers that have been bowling so
vigorously at Pennypacker for sign
ing the bill, are entitled to little
sympathy from Democratic sources.
They are only learning now what
they should have known before,
namely, that the candidate selected
by the machine bosses would do the
bidding of his masters wherever the
opportunity offered. The mueller
was the first opportunity and he
seized it, much to the chagrin of
some of the machine newspapers.
And yet they will be found this
year, and next year, and every
other year, wearing the yoke that
binds them to servile obedience to
the party lash. And this is Ameri-
can politics

The fight for sheriff is warm
and interesting one. All the can
didates are putting in their big 'icks
this week. Every district in the
county has been thoroughly can
vassed. Usually at this time, with
the primaries only two days distant,
a person can form pretty good
idea as to the winner. But things
are different this year. The cam
didates have all made an aggres-
sive fight, but the campaign has
been AN exceptionally quiet one.
From one section OF the county
comes the report that one certain
man is in the lead, while from an
other section, public sentiment
favors another, so that it is quite I'M
possible to name the winner with
any degree of certainty. The pri-
maries will be held next Saturday,
between the hours Of three and
seven o'clock. The convention
will be held on Tuesday, at whic h
time nominations will be made by
the Crawford county plan, that is
the person receiving the greatest
number Of votes will be declared
the nominee. The Crawford county
system robs the convention of
much of its old time interest. Now
the primaries determine the candi
dates. Under the old delegate sys-
TEN, man after having been de-
feated at the primaries could go
into the convention, and with the
use of money and craftiness, come
out a winner.

Philadelphia Jack O'Brien is the
one American pugilist who went
to England comparatively unknown
and in a short time defeated all of
their best men. He has a record
that is unparalleled in this or any
other country. Man after man has
been defeated by him and he is now
the recognized champion of cham
pions. He will positively appear
tomorrow night at the Grand Opera
House at the head of first class
vaudeville company. The enter
tainment will be a clean and refined
one and Mr.. O'Brien will give an
interesting exhibition assisted by
Joe Hagan who is also we'll known
to all lovers of the manly art. 1t
is the most expensive and best
attraction that has been announced
for here this season and everyone
should secure seats at once.

The New York World agrees as
to the general character of the
Democratic platform next year.
What the organizers of suicide
and the architects of ruin in 1896
and 1900 must give up" it saws,
eff they wish the Democratic party
to become again united and trusted
are the Populistic and Free Silver
Republican doctrines which they
incorporated in the Chicago plat
form. The Kansas City convention
would have discarded these strange
dogmas had not Mr.. Bryan person
ally interfered to prevent it," But
there are growing indications that
the "organizers of suicide and ar
chitects Of RUM are Populists and
Free Silver Republicans who dc
not wish the Democratic party tc
become united and trusted, who
are determined that it shall not wir
and who are always threatening to
support the Republican ticket i
the Democratic party shall throw
out Populism.

They We're Easy.

Normal had an easy nut to crack
on Saturday. Their opponents ap-
peared under the nom de gnerre of
Wilkes Barre Amateurs, and their
performance certainly justified the
designation. 1t would have been
bad enough had they dropped in for
one game, but when they swooped
down upon us for double header
it was nerve superlative. Ten
young men thrown together for the
occasion and out for good time is
about what their stock in trade con-
sisted of. The morning game was
farce. All of Normal's runs
were made without any apparent
effort, and the people were so dis
gusted that nearly all of them, only
a corporals guard to start with,
left before it was over. In the at
ternoon the visitors put into use
what little knowledge they gained
in the morning, and things were a
triAe more interesting, Hummep S
work as usual was great, not only
in the field but at the bat as well.
If we don't miss our guess, this
youngster will be seen in a big
league company before long. His
praises are being sounded in many
places and the magnates always
have their ears oren.
Marcy, mirabiAe Aeta, played
without an error, but he didn't
have many chances. The morning
score was I7-6 and the afternoon
1875.
