 At a meeting of the board of direct ors of the Merchants National bank yesterday morning, the following, reso- lution was adopted, and ordered on the miutes:
 Hon. Charles Smith Mersick, for fif teen years president and for twenty three years a director of this bank, after a very brief illness, died June 24 1904.
 While we mourn his death, we look with pride on the many noble traits of character displayed by him, his ster- ling worth and integrity, his marked and genuine ability. He had wide and conspicuous experience in the af- z rf+ e%o oji ,y1 at,ct banking, official duty, social and pri vate life his career has been eminently useful and honorable.
 We shall miss his pleasant smile and cordial greeting, and the help of his generous advice and confidence. By his death this bank has sustained the loss of faithful and valued officer and the community of a noble and public spirited citizen, kind benefactor, and an honest man.
 We especially extend our sympathy her copy hereof, and cause the same to be published in the daily papers.
 Attest: George Hare Ford,
 Clerk"

override the limitations imposed by law upon their powers, the more difficult it becomes to question anything they do; and the people, each one weak in him self, and unable to cope with powerful officers. who regard any questioning of their acts as an affront, gradually lose the habit of. holding such officers ac- countable, and ultimately practically surrender the right to hold them ac- countable.
 Constant accountability of public of ficers for strict observance of the lin- it's imposed by law, and the custom ary and undoubting assertion of the orovate right of the citizen to have no power exercised over him, except in strict accordance with the letter and spirit of the law-these are the essential conditions of free government and per sonal independence. The exercise of power not conferred by law may, in 8 particular case, destroy no mans prop erty nor restrain his liberty; but 1t weakens the title to every mans prop erty and injures every mans liberty, because it is one step in a process which, if continued would be detsruc- tive of our free institutions.
 Abundant evidence that our people have not become indifferent to these necessary limitations is furnished by the frequency with which political op- ponents impute disregard of them to public officers. The charge is often un- founded, and often made upon slight foundation with great exaggeration. But the sact that it is made shows tha. political leaders recognize that if they can made the people believe that a public officer has usurped power he will be condemned without regard to his motives. The cry of emperor czar, and nan-on-h horseback. are but extrav- agant appeals to an instinct, which ought to exist and happily does exist among us, against submission to un- lawful authority, however trifiing may be it's exercise and however beneficent it's despotism
 The extravagance and lack of founda- tion for many of these appeals. how ever, involve the danger lest the cry of wolf should be heard so often that men will become incredulous and indifferent and turn deaf ear to the statements and proofs of real encroachments, made with moderation, and not for political effect, and that thus indiscriminate and unfounded, charges against the inno- cent shall serve as a protection to the really guilty.

Even More Listlcss and sluggish Than
 UsuaI.

Even More Listicss end Sluggish Than
 Usual.
 New York, June 27.-~There was hope and some expectation in the circles of professional operators in stocks that the new week opening would witness an expansion of the dealings, and a broadening of interest in the market. The market proved even more sistless and sluggish than usual. A summing up of general conditions bore out some of the forecasts upon which 1t was supposed last weeks rise was based. But the new demand for stocks failed to develop and the disappointment caused prices to droeps after the open ing. The later fluctuations were lan- guid and totally in different. Atchi- sons net showing for May cost 1t the gain made early on the circulation of ruomrs that an important holding was being built in the property in the in- terest of Union Pacific Hooking Val ley and Wisconsin also made poor showing of May net earnings.
 Attention in financial circles is very keenly alive, however, to all develop nents throwing light on the condition of the crops. The heavy loan expan- sion by the banks last week was good deal discussed, notwithstanding the present redundancy of the money market. A desire Is felt to know how far the expansion may be due to cor poration borrowing, which would be regarded unfavorably, or how far to preparation for the usual half yearly and periodical settlements on July l, which would be viewed with indieer- ence as temporary condition London sold quite freely in this market.
 A bank suspension in Saratoga. al- though placed in the usual 'unimport- ant class, had its usual effect in chilling sentiment as an individual in- stance of prevalent general condition Price chages proved to be entirely in significant and the closing tone of the market was heavy.
 There was an appreciabie investment demand for high grade bonds, but the price movement was irregular. Total sales, par value, 32,o55, ,o0o. U. s. 2s de- clined Is and the old As registered ad- vanced Is per cent. on call
