When, last Thursday, Mark Smf b

he is a voteless delegate. admitted TO

allotted to anybody in the two
branches of congress. For a delegate
to make himself hezlG, to achieve a

nigh impossible.

Every day there is a new concrete
argument in favor of guaranteeing
bank deposits. The latest is the case
Of William G Cornwell, of J, S. Bache

bankers convention in Dsnyer against
She proposed guarantee Of deposits.

the City National Bank of Buffalo,
New York. which failed on June 2S,
1861. because Cornwell extended too
much credit 10 the directors of his
bank
These bankers who have never fail
ed. and who are standing against this
guarantee OF bank deposits, are also
opposed to postal savings banks.
They are making a mistake, for tie
people will have one or the other. and
The guarantee of deposits leaves TO
private initiative the dev5 lopInent OF
the banking business and keeps the
money at home. The postal savings
bank would destroy private initiative
and would take all the money to the
big centers.

FlsHwoMEN ON THEIR DIGNITY.
English Show Up a Police Inspector
He Is Removed.

A telegram from Cherbourg, Eng
land, describes a strange happening
there. The fishermen had brought In
a big catch of fish and shellhsh and
the market was just opening when a
police inspector stepped up to one
Of the fishwiyes to make a note Of
an infringement Of the local bylaws.
The woman had stepped two yards
further than the bylaw allowed her to
do. A minute later a second police
complaint was made-against a wo-
man who had undertaken to sell the
fish Of a flshwife who was Ill., A third
complaint was made against a fisher
man who went out of his turn in put
ting up his catch for sale
The news Of the police o6iciousness
spread quickly. Many of the women
were still bargaining with the fisher
men. but the last bids and counter
bids could not be heard for the shouts
of the women established behind the
fish baskets on the market place. In
two minutes the word was passed
round that the fshwives were going to
close the market in order TO show
their Indignation against the police.
For some time all was hurry and
hustle, within ten minutes the market
square had been cleared and the fish
returned TO the boats in which they
had been brought into harbor. Thus
It was that the $4,000 inhabitants OF
Cherbourg were without fish. The
strike came to an end, owing to the
removal by the municipal authorities
Of the obnoxious police inspector.
