WlNOHAM.

Fl. S. McGraw, State Bank examiner,
and his deputy, Claude Elder are in
charge of the bank at this point. These
gentlemen, while in the course of in.
vestigation, make it point to never
give out anything for publication.
Hence this paper will have nothing
authentic concerning the Windham
banks condition. Neither Mr.. Nc,
Graw or his deputy, re fuses to make
a statement in the matter through
any desire on their part to be arbit-
rary, for we never met two men who
are more courteous than they are, but
reticence is their rule till all the facts
are CLEANED, therefore no one should
expect them to deviate from what they
believe to be right. Those who claim
to know something about Mr.. Nc
Graw's disposition say that hen he is
forced to take charge of a bank that
his whole heart and sympathy is with
the depositors, and that he will use
all honorable means within the power
OF his Office to protect them. While
the depositors are satisfied that the
bank will soon open it's doors vet
they will all appreciate the fact that
the state has called a man to the posi-.
tion of public examiner who will not
overlook the fundamental principles
for which the office was created

d CONNECT LAKES AND RIVER.
Minnesota Delegation Visits Washing
4 ton and Points out Advantages
Of Proposed Canal.

4 The advantages of the construction
of the Lake Superior and Mississippi
river canal from st. Paul to the
lakes were presented to the board
of engineers of rivers and harbors
at Washington. Members of the
canal commission from Minnesota
and Wisconsin. with Senator Nelson
and Representatives Stevens, Davis
and Smith from Minnesota and Len
root of Wisconsin were present
Senator Nelson and Representative
Stevens presented the principal argu-
ments for the delegation. In urging
the Importance of the project Sena-
tor Nelson declared it was analogous
in Importance to the Erie canal and
declared that New York never would
have become the great commercial
center into which it has grown had
1T not been for the Erie canal
Senator Nelson pointed out that
whenever water and rail transporta-
ton were in competition rail rates al
ways dropped to meet the water rates,
and that inland waterways had done
more to help the Northwest in cheap
ening freight rates than the inter-
state commerce commission. He also
pointed out that relief in local rates
id Minnesota had come not from the
interstate commerce commission. but
from the Minnesota legislature and
the supreme court in It's final decision
in the Minnesota rate case.
Senator Nelson pointed out the
great benefit to the Northwest that
had accrued through the construction
of the 500 canal. He objected to a
suggestion that the states of Wis.
consin and Minnesota ought to con.
struct the canal, because, he said
the benefit was nationwide and the
expense should be distributed.
To both Senator Nelson and Mr..
Stevens. Chairman Black of the engf
neer board offered the objection that
there was no knowledge at hand OF
the cost of the canal traffic and that
until that knowledge was available
the construction of the proposed canal
was of doubtful advisability.

WHAT INDEPENDENCE DAY
DID FOR ENGLAND.

DID FOR ENGLAND.
Immediately, the Fourth of
July is noisily observed to ceIe-
brate the adoption of the Dec
Iaration of independence. Es.
sentialIy, the celebration has a
deeper significance and one
which the Americans ought to
know more about than they do.
1t recalls not only our own in
dependence, but the triumph of
the English people over the
crown and the RELOCATION of the
king to his true place in the
English system of government.
BY the English system of gov
eminent we mean not only the
system in England, but the sys-
TEN obtaining in the United
States, the systems of Canada,
of Australia, of all the truly in
dependent powers which have
grown up as result of the
great English movements of adj
venture and of colonization
which from time to time ex-
pressed English energy. or the
English spirit of revolt, or that
Of unrest, from the days of
Elizabeth to the days Of Vic
toria.
To those who know the devel-
opment of English popular gov
eminent the Fourth of July
marks the time since when no
English monarch has dared to de-
mand the right to tax English
people at home or in distant
colonies without their consent.
The struggle was long, and the
crown fought hard for its pre-
rogative, but despite this the
principle of English liberty sur
vived under what were appar-
entity most untoward circum-
stances, the crown became what
it is, and a republic was estab-
lished which has become the
strongest nation in the world.
The Fourth of July is the day
on which we celebrate the rule
of the people here and abroad,
the growth of Individual liberty
and the absolute dependence of
the crown in English lands
