AWAITS De REUy REPORTS
HOLLAND NOT YET READY TO
ACT AGAINST VENEZUELA.
Government Hopes to Avoid HostIi-
ties with castro-France Will
Be a Passive Spectator.

The Hague, Aug. 22.-Hollands ac-
ton against Venezuela and the text
Of her note to President Castro will
depend largely upon the reports which
M. de Reus, former Dutch minister to
Venezuela, who recently was expelled
by President Castro, makes to the
government. He is expected to arrive
here next Monday.
M. Van swinderne, minister of for
eign affairs. will consult with NJ de
Rens before the government takes
further steps in the matter. The ex
minister's arrival is eagerly awaited
here
The press and public of the Neither
lands take the Venezuelan affair most
calmly. Naval officers are most In
terested in it and express pleasure
,, at the possibility of seeing active serv-
ice. The government, however, thinks
there Is yet chance that the diff
Guilty may be patched up by diplom-
| acy. A blockade of the Venezuelan
coast, II it is undertaken, will not be
begun for some time, because the
adoption Of punitive measures will de-
pend upon the tenor Of President Cas-
tros reply to Hollands representa-
tions.
Paris, Aug. 22.-Although France is
watching with interest the develop
ments of the Holland Venezuelan stu
alton on account Of her own troubles
with the South American republic, it
can be said authoritatively that she
| does not intend to mix in any way in
! the present controversy II the
United States as the recognized cor
rector of Venezuela, has transferred
the power Of punishment to Holland,
Holland is quite capabale of acting and
France will be sympathetic specta-
tor.
There is some conviction here in
wellinformed circles that 1t would be
unwise for Holland to land troops in
| Venezuela, as this action would i'm
mediately be the signal for patriotism
| and result in the uniting of the Cas-
troites and those who oppose Castro
| for the defense of the country. 1t is
believed an effective blockade would
be more potent and successful.

That Special Session.

The governor, in calling the special
session of the legislature for August 81,
has much to say of the right of the
people to make their choice. He says
this privilege is vital" We concede
as much.
In compliance with this high-sounding
phrasing the primary law was adopted.
1t served its purpose. 1t went .back '
to the people" and registered their will.
Candidates were chosen under it. The
whole machinery of this vital priv
ilege" was exercised and the. people
had their say.
But it SO happens that the governor
was defeated. His "back to the
people" resulted disastrously to his
personal ambition. The people exer-
cised their vital privilege to tell him
that they preferred another. Whether
the people were wise or not is imma-
terial. The fact remains that the
primary law served its purpose and did
all that was required of it.
The governor is now using death as
pretext for saddling upon the taxpayers
of Iowa bill of 81, 600 day or more
to call the legislature together without
rhyme or reason to settle dispute in
| the republican party, to which the
governor belongs, or claims to belong
The people of Iowa have taxes enough
to pay now. They have no money to
pay for arbitrating disputes of fac
tional natare in the republican party.
The treasury is near enough empty
now without further drains.
The governor admits in his procla-
nation that the call is made for the
purpose of securing to the republican
voters of the state another opportunity
to declare their choice for senator. !"
This is a confession that the,republicans
have had one chance before and that
. this call is made for them and in their
behalf only. Then, we submit, they
ought to settle the bill.
There is no sense whatever in calling
a special session. 1t is an utterly in
, excusable abuse of power. 1t is class
, privilege reduced to it's most objec-
, tionable form. Who ever heard of
going to public expense to settle fac
, tional quarrel in a political party? If
this precedent is allowed tostand, what
, indignity cannot be perpetrated? A
raid on the state treasury to pay the
republican campaign fund would be
equally justifable. A warrant for the
personal expenses of the governor
would be equally just.
This action of the governor ought te
arouse the righteous resentment OF
every taxpayer in Iowa who favors g
9 square deal for every man. 1t is Meth.
er right nor necessary. The constitu.
ton provides for every contingency that
confronts the republican party and the
governor, and the governor has no au-
), thority for the exercise of such arbi-
trary power as the calling of the legis-
lature together to fight over factiona
differences at the expense of the demo
cratic taxpayers as well as the republic
can taxpayer. -Des Moines Tribune.

How the Banks Hate the Guaranty
Law.


Oklahoma, the one state in the union
which has guaranty deposit law,
sought to make it possible for national
banks to come within the guaranty
provision, but Attorney General Bona
part held that they could not lawfully
DO this, so the banks were confronted
with the alternative of surrendering
their federal charters to become state
banks and thus operate under the guar
anty law, or continuing as national
banks without the benefits of the law.
Only few weeks have elapsed since
the Bonaparte ruling, but in that time
nine national banks have surrendered
Their national charters and taken out
state charters. Another national bank
has opened savings bank, SO that
there are only twenty national banks
left, and the most of these are getting
ready to change to state institutions.
These facts, more eloquent than argu-
ment, illustrate what the bankers them
serves tnlnk OF the law. They like it
so well that they want to work under
1t, for fear of run does not go to bed
with them and they know that the
state inspections are so frequent and
thorough that they are in no danger
from the failure of other banks and
that the trusted men in their own banks
are not deceiving the states inspectors.
Besides they know that inasmuch as
the profits in banking must come from
depositors' money loaned out they can
get the depositor's money only by guar
anteeing him that if the depository bank
fails ne won't lose dollar, just as the
only way a national bank can secure
government money on deposit, or an
Iowa state bank receive state funds on
deposit is by securing the government
or the state against loss. Telegraph.
