GUARANTEED BANK DEPOSITS.

People insure their goods by land
and sea. The custom is OF long
standing. 1t has not driven capa-
bic shlpbuilders and navigatOrs out
Of business, nor retarded the intro
duction Of improved methods OF
house construction, nor yet laid a
whitening blight Of paternalism and
socialism upon the world. In view
Of which we hardly understand why
a proposal to insure bank deposits
should produce such commotion.
The guaranty CT deposits, as en-
acted in Oklahoma or as proposed
in the Fowler bill, is simply a sys-
TEN Of insurance. A very small tax,
or premium, levied upon all deposits
something like forty cents on the
thousand dollars, we belieye-would
have covered all losses suffered by
national bank depositors through
failures. Such insurance would not
"put good bank management at a
discount"
Nobody deposits money in any
bank unless he believes it to be
thoroughly safe. lie chooses one
bank rather than another because it
is more convenient or more accom-
modating, or for some such reason.
He would still choose the bank that
did his business most satisfactorily,
and therein the good banker would
still have all his advantage over the
Indifferent or poor one.
Every good banker ought to favor
every proposal which would i'm
prove the banking business as a
whole, which would increase public
confidence in banks in general,
which would tend to make every
man with any money deposit it in
some bank instead Of boarding it,
which would lessen the probability
Of panic among depositors in I'M
quiet times.
Opposition to bank-deposit in
surance seems to us mostly the mere
fear Of a novelty. Saturday Even

A School Boy on COrns.

Corns are Of two kinds-vegetable
and animal. Vegetable corn grows in
rows and animal corn grows on toes.
There are several kinds OF corn; there
is the unicorn, capricorn, corr dodgers,
field corn, and the corn which you feel
most. 1t is said, believe, that gophers
like corn, but persons having corn do
not like to "go fur" IL they can help it.
Corns have kernels, and some colonies
have corrs. Vegetable corn grows on
ears, but animal corn grows on the
other end Of the body. Another kind Of
corn is the acorn; these grow on oaks,
but there is no hoax about the corn.
The acorn IS a corn with IN indefinite
article indeed. Try it and see. Many
a man when he has q corn wishes Ii was
an acorn. Folks that have corns some
times send for a doctor, and II the doc
tor himself is corned he probably won't
do so well as il he isn't. The doctor
says corns are produced by tight boots
and shoes, which is probably the reason
why when a man is tight they say he is
corned. II a farmer manages well he
can get a good deal Of corn to an acre.,
but / know of a farmer that has n
corn that makes the biggest acher on
his farm. The bigger crop Of yegeta-
bic corn a man raises the better he
likes it; but the bigger crop OF animal
corn a a raises the better he does not
like it. Another kind OF corr is the
corn dodger. The way it is made is
very simple, and is as follows-that is,
If you want to know: You go along the
and meet a man you know has a
corn and a rough character; then you
on the toe that has the corn on 1t,
and see II you don't have occasion TO
dodge. In that way you will find out
what a corn dodger is.

WORK OF THE MINORITY.

The unity which has character
lied the efforts Of the Democratic
minority in Congress To secure the
enactment Of laws beneficial TO the
country, as we'll as in its determined
resistance TO measures inimiCal TO
the general welfare, has contrib
uted no little 10 the bringing about
Of conditions that give large promise
Of the triumph Of the Democratic
ticket in the coming national con-
test, says the Houston Post.
At no time within the past decade
have our representatives In both
branches Of Congress worked TO.
gether in more complete harmony
under capable leadership than dur
ing the present session, and for that
reason, though largely in the minor
lty, they have been enabled to pre-
vent the enactment Of much pro-
posed Legislation 50 inherently Vi
cious in some Of its features, as to
amount 10 a departure from the cs-
scntlaI purpose Of the government
IN its original intent and Wigor. In
the matter of affirmative Legislation
they have been the strongest and
most effective supporters Of measures
designed 10 correct admitted evils
OF government, some Of which have
become 50 fragrant that ever the
present Republican occupant Of the
White House no longer refuses his
endorsement Of Democratic policies
designed TO remove them.
1t has been a fight for better gov.
crnmont that has commanded the
admiration of the observing, think
ing people Of the nation, and has re-
in creating such division in
the ranks Of the Republican party as
has never before been known in the
face Of a pending national election.
At the same time it has contributed
giving the Democracy an opulence
If opportunity that it has not en-
Dyed since 1892.

WHtN 10 ADVERTISE.

There's nothing on earth so mys.
terlousIy funny as an advertisement
The prime, first and last, and all.
the-tjme object Of an advertisement
Is to draw custom. 1t is not and
never will be, designed for any
other purpose, So the merchant
waits till the busy season comes and
his customers rush in till he cant
take his hat of, then he runs to his
printer and goes in for advertising.
When the dull season gets along
and there Is no trade and he wants
TO sell his goods so bad he cant pay
his rent, he stops advertising. That
Is, some Of them do; but occasion
ally a lcyel-hcaded merchant does
more Of it, and scoops in the bnsi-
ness, while his neighbors are max
ing mortgages to pay the light bill.
There are times when you couldn't
stop people from buying everything
in the store if you planted a cannon
behind the door, and that's the time
when the advertisement is sent out
on its holy mission. 1t makes light
work for advertising, for a chalk
sign on the sidewalk could do all
that was needed, and a half holiday
SIX days in the week, but who wants
to favor an advertisement? They
are built to do hard work, and
should be- sent out in dull days,
when a customer has TO be knocked
down with hard facts, and kicked
lnsensiblo with bankrupt reductions,
and dragged in with irresistible
slaughter Of prices, before he will
spend a cent. That's the end and
aim Of advertising and if ever you
open a store, don't try TO get them
to come when they are already stick
ing out of the windows, but give them
your advertisement right between
eyes in a dull season, and YOU
will wax and own a fast horse and
perhaps be able to smoke a cigar
'nce or twice a year. Write this
Town where you'll fall over it every
The time to draw business is
when you want business, and not ,
When you have more business than
.ou can attend to already.

REVISORS HARD At WORK

Erroneous Assessments Causing Most Trouble;

for the city primaries to be held Au-

The greatest trouble that is being
encountered by the committee is where
they come in contact with names of
people who have in the past sold some
land and where the assessment still
islands against them. A great many
sell land and the purchaser does not
have the title changed at once, but
pays all the taxes and allows it to
stand assessed to the former owner,
the land sold by the former owner may
have become delinquent, but being still
in his name it appears on the delin-

difficult to handle, but the revisors
are moving carefully and making a
