fore extend beyond s64,000,000, and much of this sum may not have been hoarded
 New York holds but 30 per cent of the actual banking cash reserve of the country, but it will never do to say that money-hoarding has gone on in all parts of the country as it has in New York. The returns made by the Boston and the Philadelphia banks indicate that it has not. The New York Evening Post Is inclined to esti- mate the maximum of the recent money.hoarding at $100, 100000 in the entire country, including New York, against s5O,Ooo,OO0 hoarded in 1893 in the country as whole.
 The truth Is, the hoarding in New York was chiefly done by men who had credits exceeding $1O,O00. These are the men who are paying rentals to safe deposit vaults, and to a man they are becoming weary and many of them are returning their money to the

Paving Off In NickeIs

The Omaha Street Railway company fairly flooded that city with nickels by meeting its payroll with 60o,000 five cent pieces, $30,000 in all When the men lined up last week for their pay they received it in the form of neat little packages, each containing 70 nickels. This novel payment made change plentiful in Omaha almost at once, and it no doubt led to increased receipts by the street car company itself.
 Payments like the one at Omaha, aided by the exercise of patience, will soon dispel distrust and bring back confidence and tide of hoarded cash. 1t is sure to come, and that very soon, for Uncle Sam is taking big hand in the game Wildcatting has run it's course, and there is no reason in the world why confidence in the banks
 
 Roosevelt puts the case none too strongly in his letter to MT. Cortelyou, when he says: What is most needed just at present is that our citizens should realize how fundamentally sound business conditions in this coun- fry are and how absurd it is to per init themselves to get into panic and create a stringency by hoarding their savings instead of trusting perfectly sound banks. There is not particle of risk involved in letting business take its natural course and the people can help themselves and the country most by putting back into active cir culation the money they are hoard ing"

Cuban Unrest

The Cuban census has been com- pleted, but it has not yet been tabu- lation of 100000 The island was wrested from Spain in 1898, and ever since that time it has been prosper ous, whereas before 1898 disease, lack of food, emigration, and guerrilla fight ing overbalanced the natural increase. But since 1898 every year has shown signs of increasing population and proserity
 With the completion of the census comes a demand that times be fixed for the holding of municipal and na- tional elections-in other words, that Uncle Sam shall get ready to get out in accordance with promises made by Secretary Taft. The agitators consider the Magoon government strictly pro- visional, and they desire the United States to surrender Cuba again to the Cubans. The unfortunate Teller reso- lution thus again comes home to roost.
 There are four political parties in Cuba, and Governor Magoon cannot please all of them. Two of the exist ing parties are made up of liberals. One Is headed by Gomez, who wants the elections held not later than Feb ruary next Alfredo Zayes leads the other liberal party. Both Zayes and Gomez are candidates for the presi- dency. Then there is the independ- ent party led by General Menocal, sugar estate manager. The fourth party consists of the moderates, or followers of ex-President Palma. All the parties are willing to have the elections held year hence except Gomez and his liberals, The truth is, the three other parties fear the cleo J1On or GOIneZ anu they pTe1er d cOn- tinuance of the provisional govern ment to that result.
 There is no possibility that any choice would be satisfactory to the masses and to the capitalists of the island. Gomez is undoubtedly the fa- vorite of the masses, and the capital ists in a popular election would be outnumbered and outvoted The with drawal of the provisional government means trouble and unrest whether it stays or goes, and it is difficult to say which is the better policy. If, how ever, the Cubans were told that the provisional government would stay ten years all parties would perhaps accept the term as finalty and peace and contentment would be restored

B. Steiner on the Situation.

B. Steiner of New York first vice presi- dent of the Steiner Brothers bank, is in the city to remain for several weeks for the purpose of looking over the financial situation here and to attend to matters pertaining to the business of the bank. MT Steiner has not visited the city since last March.
 In discussing the financial situation yes- terday MT Steiner stated that while things looked decidedly unpromisng in New York when he left that city, he hoped to see it clear up in a short while. When asked what relief the issuance of the Panama canal bonds would give, he said:
 ''The canal bond issue will not give the desired relief unless 1t Is carefully and properly handled. We can not eat stoves, no matter how many there are; it's bread we need. Unless these bonds are sold abroad and the gold derived brought to this country and poured into the broad, flowing channels of trade through the national banks, the much wanted relief will not come from the source of the bond issue. Were the bonds sold in this coun- try IL WOulQ Only pc u IldIlbI Ol AebhAh5 the money from the hands of the people and putting 1t right back.
 Then the people have simply over lived themselves to the greatest extrav- agance and this must cease. The quicker they come down from champagne and fancy dishes to branch water and corn bread, the better things will be.
 But the only thing that will clear the present financial stress is confidence. As soon as the people come to their senses things will be better. The millions of dollars which have been withdrawn from the banks in the frenzy and put in old trunks and boxes will have to be again put into circulation. When this is done then comes the clear sky and the sun will shine again.

 'I never have believed in going to the White House and seeing the Presi- dent just for a lot of cheap advertise ment." said James J. Corbett, former champion pugilist, who is now a theat- rical star and lives on Long Island, at the Raleigh yesterday.
 What is the user" asked the big fellow, continuing the conversation. What does the busy President of the United States care about me? No doubt, he would be very cordial and give me the glad hand; but don't think much of the custom all sorts of people have fallen into of running up there the first thing they get in town. Just so they may have the qualification of se ing their names in the papers next day. None of that for mine. And I like the President, too.

FORGOTTEN HEROES.

From the New York World.
 William Morse a negro thief, kept crowd at bay by fiourishing a revolver. Edward Cavanaugh, patrolman, rushed toward him. Don't shoot begged Morse. As soon as Cavanaugh had lowered his revolver Morse fired. Cavanaugh is now dead The assassin was cornered in the basement of a house. Three other patrol men entered and arrested him.
 Charles Timmons. rgger became in- sane on the roof of a five-story build ing. He battled with four felow-work- men until Patfolman Connel climbed ladder and mainly through his efforts Timmons was subdued.
 These brief items reveal nothing novel, nor are they sufficiently startling as current events to cause newspaper read CTS to bestow on them more than pass ing attention We have become so ac- customed to deeds by patromen that scarcely any comment is evoked except in the shape of line or two in the off cial records. Months afterward a medal may be bestowed for courage displayed under trying circumstances, at func- ton which few will attend and which will be described in a "stickful' or two of type.
 Had Cavanaugh in the face of mur- derous fire carried the flag into the en- emy's trenches he would have stood an excellent chance of becoming a national hero. His name would have been bla- zoned from one end of the country to the other. History would nave kept the record intact and he would have served as a model of patriotism for future gen erations As it is, reference to the books of the force" will be required a week hence to discover that he died on the field of honor.
 For years the police department has been a target for much deserved crit- cism. Owing to a peculiar twist of character, seemingly inexplicable. many of its bravest officers have proved them- selves unable to resist the lure of graft. Such deeds as those of Cayanaugh and Connell, almost daily occurrences as they are, help to balance the account.

Money HoardinQ

It Is interesting to know how much actual cash has been hidden since October "A, the day when the crisis be- came acute in Wall street. It is scarce ly necessary to discuss the nature of hoarding. Tt is," says the New York Globe, more than immoral, it is un- wise. It places the present accumula- tion in the way of disaster and at the same time cripples, if it does not kill. the goose that shall lay the future accumulation. For money makes money, and the money that money makes makes more money But never when it is hidden in a strong box or secreted in the most circumspect hos iery." Safety deposit banking Is no better than petticoat banking, and we need not stop to discuss the moral side of the evil.
 It is our purpose to get at the true extent of the practice at the present time. The returns made by the New York banks show that in this mix.up they have lost all told $99 100000 in cash, but trustworthy information is to the effect that $35,oOO,o0O of this loss is due to shipments of cash to interior hanks. The hoarding does not there

THE COCKTAILS BADNESS

more harmful than ungarnished hquor- than, for instance, what is known to the fraternity as straight whisky. As they contain considerably less alcohol than the latter and are besides endowed with cer- tain stomachie advantages resulting from the bitters, the reason for their special deleteriousness is not at first sight ob- vious. The answer suggested by the Bos- ton Herald-because they are usually taken on an empty stomach--is good as far as 1t goes.
 But the explanation that seems most adequately to satisfy the mind is that put forward by the propomder of the question. In their extreme goodness, he says, lies their peculiar badness. That is, their material goodness increases their moral badness. They are so tasty and mild as to be insidious One leads to another, and finally every meal, even breakfast, is so prefaced2then degenera- tion is far advanced. Furthermore they are to the jaded epicure what morphine is to the sufferer from physical pain.
 They enable him temporarily to unload his burden of gustatory ennui, they bring nepenthe and surcease of sorrow. A we'll blended cocktail has before now helped a previously appetiteless, finical diner to eat hearty meal of corned beef and cabbage and enjoy every mouthful of it. The cocktail, in fact, sets up false and temporary standards of goodness, and with ready sophistry not only argues down mans palate but actually defeats his reason in its attempt to keep indi- gestible things out of his stomach There- in lies its special banefulness from a so- biological point of view.

A great deal of gold was imported in August, 1893, but the interior banks were not supplied until September, and in September the New York banks were able to keep new arrivals of gold. This led to a good bank return, and this in turn led to return of hoarded money. The bank surplus began to increase, and the currency spasm was speedily ended.
 In other words, the weekly bank statement in New York is the barom- eter that New York watches. It still shows every Saturday a deficit, but the hope is that it will show improve ment this week. If it does, we may be pretty sure that the currency acute ness will speedily pass away.

A GROVER CLEVELAND TALE.

From the Cleveland Leader.
 When Grover Cleveland was practicing a lazy young lawyer who was forever pestering him with questions about legal points that he could just as well have looked up for himself. Even Cleveland's patience had an end. One day as his friend entered he remarked:A
 "There are my books. Help yourself to them. You can look up your own case"
 The lazy lawyer stared at him in amazement.
 See here, Grover Cleveland" he said, indignantly, 'I want you to understand der. You know very well that l don't read law. 1 practice entirely by ear.'

The Nanny of olden Times.

Passing along the street today l mo- ticed an old negro nanny leading along two white children. boy and girl, of tender years,' said man of family and a southerner. They were beautiful chil- dren, the little girl being especially at tractive and were the recipients of much attention.
 "The old mammy seemed very proud of her charge and of the attention they re- ceived, replying with a courtesy to the smiles and salutations that were freely bestowed on the little tots, who clung to her ,.hands with a confidence that was charming to behold. A deep bond of affection exists between the southern people and these old family servants, many of whom having passed their usefulness, are being cared for days ago I saw young matron placing an old negro mammy on the train. It was evidently the first time she had trav- eled and no one could possibly have been more soicitous than was the young lady of her charge. After purchasing the ticket she went to the gate and asked a porter to place the old nanny on the train. As she bade her hood bye she gave her a genuine hug, and said in the most tender manner Now, nanny. take good care of yourself and watched and waited until the train pulled out It is with genuine regret to the south erner that this class is so rapidly pass ing away"
