TlABlST HOTIL TO STOBIi ASS COTOI BOTTSB WHAT IS A-BASK? -BY- WILLIAM C. CORN WELL, Author op "Greenbacks," and President op The City Bank op Buppalo, New York. THE DEPOSITORS. A Bank is a place where monev is left for Bafe keeping. The people who leave the money do not want to use it at once, and do not want to take the risk of keeping it in their homes or offi ces, or of carrying it around with them. These people are called the de positors. They are not as a rule rich peo ple. Laborers, workmen, mechanics, farmers, store-keepers, doctors, lawyers, ministers, brokers, capi talists and clerks. All these are depositors. They are all the people who have any money little or much and who want their money kept safe until they are ready to use it. There are millions of them. If a hank is hurt alP these peo ple are hurt. The money is left in charge of a man who is called a banker. He is paid a salary or wages for taking care of the money just as another man is paid wages for taking care of horses. He is a "hired man," THE STOCKHOLDERS. The Bank itself must have money of its own before depositors will put in their money so that they may feel that their money is safe. The Bank's own money is called "Capital." This is put in by a number of people sometimes by a very large number each of whom pats in a little. The money put in, in this way is stock money, and cannot be drawn out, but must stay in at the risk of the business. The people who put it in are called stockholders. The number of people in the United States who have put up m.ney in this way to start banks now in operation is estimated at five hundred thousand (500,000). They are men and women of all classes, many of them holding only small amounts of stock. They have put in altogether one thousand and fifty millions of dol lars ($1,050,000,000). These people are the Banks. The banker is hired by these peo ple. When the depositors put their money in they do-so with the un derstanding that they can draw it out at any time. The banker is expectedto keep it safely for them uutil they want it. One way to do this would be to lock it up in strong boxes in a vault, and carefully guard it until called for. If this were done the money would not do anybody any good, while so locked up. THE BORROWERS. In the place where the Bank is started there "are store-keepers, farmers and manufacturers. All these people have some prop erty of their own. Some of them have enough money and property so that they do not need to borrow. But some of the store-keepers at certain seasons of the year have trusted out a large part of their property.. The farmars, the workmen and other dealers and all kinds of peo ple owe them. The stock of goods needs filling up. There are two ways in which the store-keeper can get mone"y to bay new goods. helpingFthe store-keeper. He can crowd the people ho owe him and make them pay up. Or he can borrow the money to buy new goods with. The people who owe him pay him once or twice a year and oftener, but cannot pay now with out pressure and discomfort. i So he goes to them and says, ''Give me your notes at three and four months, and pay them when taey come due. Andthedebtorseivetheirnotes.il Tko , JoT8 of Heaven Are Past Man'8 Under- lhe storekeeper takes these notes to the Bank and writes his name on them, and asks the banker to leud him the money that he needs. Isow the banker has in his safe keeping the money thardepositors have left with him to keep until they want it. They are liable to want it any time. But all of them do not want all of it at one time. Only a few of them want some of it every day. Many of them want only a lit tle, once in a while. Most of those who draw out some of it to use, get it back after a while, and keep bringing it to the banker to hold until they,need it again. So he finds while he must keep on hand enough to pay, every day, those who may want to use a part of their money, the larger part of the whole of the money stays with him all the time. He finds that while he must keep in casn one fifth to one quarter of all the funds, the other three quarters will be perfectly idle. This three-quarters then he is at liberty to lend out if he can lend it safely. (to be continued.) Ancient History. Washington, la., Democrat. It may seem like kicking a man when he is down, but we can't refrain from referring to some things even if they are disagreea ble. We shall call up a little an cient history for the delectation of the Republican party. We shall not do it in any spirit of malice, neither shall we rejoice at their present discomfort and chagrin. The Lord knows they are having troubles enough of their own; but for fear they may forget it, we will recite a para graph of their platform adopted at St. Louis in the halcyon July days of 18J)6; the days when mil lionaires and plutocrats ran riot with the Republican party; the days when they led them such a merry dance, and the poor devils are left to pay the fiddler. We shall recall only a little an cient history, "lest they forget," lest they forget." Their olat- form starts out : "For the first time since the civil war the American people have wit nessed the calamitous consequences of full and unrestrictftd Demo cratic control of the government. It has been of unparalleled inca pacity, disaster and dishonor. It nas entailed an increasing deficit, precipitated panic, dosed factories reduced work and wages, etc., etc." How interesting that is after a year of Republican control! How tney nave brought order out of chaos, prosperity out of stagna tion, confidence out of panic! What delightful promises the re publican platform makes! Thev have stopped the deficit with the Dingley bill, which is making a bigger hole in the treasury every month, notwithstanding that it suffered no-such maceration as the Wilson bill did when the income tax clause was immolated on the altar of Republican capacity. lhe republican Dlatform is a great work producer. Just look at the coal strikes, the cotton snin- by the railroad companies right here in Washington. See how the n i r stuffing knocked out of their sala. tji- Hf.f!l 1 t I 7 i P nco as duuu blb iiicxxi n ley a prosper- ity came! Behold how it opened tbe factories and how prices went opi W by corn is now twenty odd Tit 1 cents and it wasn't over twenty two or twenty-three under Cleve land. 0. the Republican nartv is K X J a red hot revenue producer, wage raiser and factory opener.

FACE TO FACE. standing. We are told that heaven is place of happiness, but what do we know about happiness? Hap piness in this world is only a half fledged thiug, a flowery path with a serpent biasing across it, a broken pitcher from which the water has dropped beforo we conld driuk it. a thrill of exhilaration, followed by disastrous reactions. To help us understand the Joy of heaven the Bible takes us to a river. 'We stand on the grassy bank. We see the waters flow on with ceaseless wave. But the filth of the cities is emptied into it, and the banks are torn, and un- , ... , , . bealtby exhalations spring up from it, and we fail to iret an idea nf l7 - the river of life in heaven. We get very imperfect ideas of the reunions of heaven. Wethink of some festal day on earth when father and mother were yet living and tbe children came home. A good time that! But it bad this draw back all were not there. That brother went off to sea aud never was heard from. That sister did we not lay her away in tbe freshness of her young life, never more in this world to look upon her? Ah, there was a skeleton at the feast, and tears mingled with our laughter on that Christ mas day. Not so with heaveu'a reunions. It will he an uninter rupted gladness. Many a Chris tian parent will look around and find all his children there. "Ah," be eays, "can't be possible that we are all here life's porils over? The Jordan passed and not one wanting? Why, even the prodigal is here. I almost gave him up. How long he despised my counsel! But grace hath triumphed. All here, all here! Tell tbe mighiy joy through the city. Let tbe bells ring and the angels mention it in their song. Wave it from the top of the walls. All here!" No breaking of heartstrings, but face to face. The orphans that were left poor and in a merciless world, kicked and cuffed of many hardships, Bhall join their parents over whose graves tbey so loug wept, and gaze into their glorified countenances forever, face to face. We may come up from different parts of the world, one from the land and another from tbe depths of tbe sea, from lives affluent and prosperous, or from scenes of rag red distress, but we aball all meet in rapture and jubilee, face to face. Many of our friends have en tered upon that joy. A few days ago they eat with us studying these gospeVtfcemes, but they ouly see through a glass, darkly. Now revelatfon hath come. God will not leave you to flounder iu tbe dark ness. You stand wonder-struck and amazed. You feel as all tbe loveliness of life were dashed out. You stand gazing into the open chasm of the grave. Wait a little. In tbe presence of your departed and of Him who carries them in Hisbosom you shall soon stand face to face. Oh, that our last may kindle up with bis promised joyl May we be able to say, like the Christian not long ago departing, "Though a pilgrim, walking through the valley, the mountain toPB are ffleamiDg from peak to peak," or, like my dear friend brother. Alfred Cookman. who took bis flight to the throne of God, saying in his last moment that which has already gone into Christian classics, "I am sweeping through the pearly gates washed in the blood of tbe Lamb.

Britt, editor of the Oxford Public Ledger, is in Wash ington as private secretary of Con gressman Kilchin. Writing to his paper last week, Mr. Britt says: "We have learned, from a source which is entitled to more erdncp tnan ordinary rumor, that Sena tor Butler intends to play what he thinks a very shrewd game on the Democrats in the nomination for officers this summer Briefly ontliupd bis plan is this: He will call his- convention at tbe ssm time and place a the Democratic convention. Then he will make certain overtures for fusion, and along certain lines onlv. II will probably offer fusiou on Congres- i j unci iuoiuu on i ongres- sional lines, the terms of which will be that th Populist retain 'A ! Congressmen (Fowler, Ktr0wd and Sjtiford) and allow the Democrats ' the other six. He roy or may not offer fusion for member of tb Legislature or county officers. ' Senotar Butler thinks to force ' tbe Democrats into fusion on his own terras, bv this move, or else gob-fore the people with tbe cry that Democrats are not sincere in their a-ivocacy of siUer and tbe Chicago platfDrm, and further claim that tbey are. dominatsd by bossism and gold-bugs. All this may be very nice for the Senator, if it works. He realizes that tbe Democrats are ?olid and siucere and that the party is being strength. -nod by recuite every day from tbe bett-, elements of their opponents. He knows that . the late fusion with tbs Republi cans has gainod h i tn nothinp. Pritchard carried enough of bn (Butler's) followers witb birn to re elect him to the Senate. This was in spite of all Butler could do and was very bumble i for him to eat. ' ' "Your plan is very pretty Sena tor, but it won't work '." Eawnable Concession. Fusion. Hnt no Under the sbove heading the Wilmington Review o we.l ex presses tbe sentiments of the editor of the Timf-s that we print what it says and give it our hearty tj dorsement: We, for one, are willing to make all reafonable concessions, but, positively, my friend, and we sav this in all kindly sincerity and brotherly lov and party lovality, w will not agree to anything like fusion with anybody or anything. We will b glad to welcome all who will come with us. and vole with us. For this cnpaigti, at least, we w;ll not ask Atiy creden tials. We will not require a gold man to swear that he is a silver man before be can b received in full fellowship with the party in this State. Tbe gold man is just as good a Democrat, perhaps, as I am. He asks no lest and i.o pledges from me, and I will ask none trotn him. If he is going to vote for white supremacy in North Carolina, he is giving thereby tb. highest proof I shall require of him as to his loyalty to the Demo cratic party. More than that, if be will stand by rue I will stand by him and as far as possible shield him from any and all attacks rniJs upon him by the disappoint ed office seekers and reform ren gades. I will stick to him if be will stick to me. So far, there is no (fold or silver question in tbe campaign. All whit men can vote together without reproach one for another. One man's vote is & good as another s. e are all working and voting for one and the self-same object, the re demption of the State, aud if we fail in that attempt let in fail de cently, honorably and in order.
