BANK oVERDRAFIs.
Norwich Bank Men Interested in U.
 s. Supreme Court Opinion.

A recent opinion given by the United States supreme court upon the matter of bank overdrafts is one that has been attracting the attention of Norwich bank men since it's issue. The opinion is as follows
 A usage to allow customers to over draw and have their checks and notes charged up without present funds in the bank, stripped of all technical dis guise, the usage and practice, thus at tempted to be sanctioned is q usage and practice to misapply lle funds of the bank; and to cOnniNe Ut the withdrawal of same, without any se- curity in favor of certain privileged persons. Such a usage ald practice is surely a manifest departure from the duty. both of the. directors and cashier. as cannot receive any coun- tenance in a court of justice It ,nuld not be supported by any vote of the directors, however formal; and there fore whenever done by the cashier, is at his own peril and up5n inc re sponsibiHty of himself and his sureties. It is anything but well and truly executing his duties as cashier

Australia Wants Lewis.

Harry Lewis is wanted by the boxing promoters in Australia. Two years ago Harry knocked out Johnny Summers in four rounds. Just now Summers is the big pugilistic noise in that country. They are anxious therefore to pit him against the man that gave him his qui- etus in their previous engagement. As a draw no better card could be ar
 ranged All of which again goes to demonstrate that "Snowey' Baker as a promoter is clever in his selections. Baker could have staged the just as good" sort of bout had he chosen to do so But he realized Lewis would be a, card and therefore stood for two round trip tickets from England to Australia for Lewis and his wife. The result will be banner house at the stadium at Rushcutters Bay when they meetin the ring. The just as good
 sort of a bout would have saved the tickets from England and back. but the box office would show about one-half the amount it will now exhibit. %sA

There is one thing that the Demo

ports. II may not reduce wages. II
may not reduce the cost OF living. 1t
may not, 80 far as those particular
Items are concerned, do anybody any
good, either here or abroad.
But II it doesn't do another thing.
there is one thing 1t Is surely going
to do 1t Is going to knock on tens
of millions OF revenue hitherto paid
into the United States treasury by
importers of foreign goods. The pre-
vious tariff duties. whether they were
In fact protecting American wage
earners In their Jobs or not. were
surely turning in treasure to the gov
srnment, and the new tarih, to make
up for those tens OF millions OF lost
revenue from imports, Is going to I'M
pose an income tax. Some OF 1t, as
now planned. will come out OF the
widows and orphans that are bene-
ficiaries of insurance policies. Some
Of 1t will come out of the small pro-
portion of our population having In
comes in excess of $4,000. But here
will be something done and some
thing new.
Thus, II the new Democratic tarin
Is not intended to do what Demo
cratic tariff ought to do-cut every
thing but our funds down-at least 1t
can be fairly said of the new Demo
cratic tariff, for whatever that Is
worth, that 1t Is going to set up an
income tax
This might seem to some captious
critics a very small mouse to come

Box 1873, Downey, Calmly little

called ringworm on his shoulder and
the back of his neck. 1t started in
small pimple like a blister and kept
getting larger till 1t was the size OF
dollar. One place was as large as
three silver dollars. They were round
and mass OF watery blisters. Wher-
ever the water would touch it would
cause another blister, commencing an
other sore and SO on. 1t was very
red and angry and would itch and
burn SO badly that he could not sleep
or, in fact, sit still at times. He
would cry when 1 would touch It..
When he would rub or scratch it 1t
would look like chopped meat. HIS
clothing irritated 1t. I tried many
remedies, but 1t kept spreading and
itching. This was all before l used
Cuticura Soap and Ointment on it..
After the first treatment with Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment he was much
relieved, and they cured him in one
month.

Shrinking Prosressives.

Last summer and fall small army
Of orators ragged up and down the
land, denouncing vengeance against
the Republican party for the crime
OF the Coliseum" This crime con-
sisted In refusing to give Mr.. Roose-
velt the presidential nomination
which he claimed as his private prop
erty.
For this unpardonable sin. the
party Of Lincoln, Logan, Grant and
Mckinley was to perish from the
face Of the earth; and Roosevelt's g
own progressive" party was to sue
ceed to the affections and suffrages
OF American people.
Many people mistook noise for
power, and believed Mr.. Roosevelta
scheme would work. Then came dis.
illusionment.
In Chicago. which Mr.. Roosevelt
carried last fall. the progressives
elected only three aldermen this
spring.
In St. Louis. progressives and 30
cialists We'd for the honor Of the
smallest vote.
In Michigan, which the progres.
sives carried by 1888 plurality last
November, Republicans elected their
entire state ticket this spring. with
Democrats a close second. and Pro.
gressives a bad third.
Mr.. Roosevelt's personal crouch Ia
not proving a good foundation for .
permanent party.
