Thursday Morning. Aug. 29, 1895 T STATE BANES A NECESSITY. tt No satisfactory monetary system can be devised for this country which does not embrace the State . bank as an essential part of it. - The present system may do for those sections of the country which are ' densely populated, which are wealthy and which can provide themselves with as many national or other banks as they may desire, but this centrali zation in and monopoly of the cur rency by such sections is one of the grounds of just grievance by other sections which are less favored in point of population and of wealth. There may be millions of loanable funds in the banks of these particu lar sections but it is money that goes out only under certain pro cesses, and does not answer the same purpose as a circulating me dium that the money nearer home would. The country has suffered inestimably by this centralization of the currency and its control by the large banks which have iron-clad regulations which must be complied with before their vaults are un locked. 1 We have striking illustrations of , this every Fall ' about the time the crop movement begins, in the de mands of Western and Southern cities for funds "to move the crops." There is never enough of ready money on hand to do this and Western grain and Southern cotton have to wait, whatever the price may be, until the Western- banks can make arrange ments with the Eastern banks tor a sufficient supply of money for this purpose. Of course that is an ac commodation for which the Western and Southern banks have to pay and they in turn make their patrons pay for the accommodation extended to them, all of which in the end comes out of the farmer who sells his wheat and the planter who sells his cotton. No fault attaches to the banks for this, for it is their business to deal in money, to lend it, and to make as much as they can out of it. It is their stock tn trade just as the farmer's wheat, or cotton, or the merchant's ' goods are their stock in trade. As long as they deal legitimately and honestly, without taking advantage of the necessities of other sections to make usurious profit, there can be no fault reasonable found. The fault v is not in them, but in the system 1 which permits a few strong banks in the wealthier sections of the country to control the volume of the curren cy, and even to control the Treasury of the United States, as the Morgan Belmont syndicate is now doing. It is mockery to talk about the large volume of money in circula tion and of the large per capita, if this volume can be practically con trolled by combinations, ' who can contract or expand it at their pleas ure and thus regulate the rate of in terest on the money they lend. A difference of one-half of one per cent., which would scarcely be no ticed by the man who wanted money, would amount to many thousands in the ' aggregate,' and when it is remembered that they handle hundreds of . millions it can be readily seen that a small advance jn the rates of interest means a great deal to them, i Is there no way to decentralize the currency, to break this monopoly, and provide for a more equable and permanent distribution of the vol ume, and give the less populated and less wealthy sections some chance to become less dependent on the. money centers than they are now?' The free coinage of silver would, aid in doing this by increasing the volume of cur rency and making it less easy for a few men to control and monopolize it, but it will never be effectually t done until we have State banks which can supply a local currency ia . SUCQ quantities as thS De resPective sections may demand, , a currency with sriffirW tuinl ; to be expanded or contracted, as the Volume of business might make ad visable. During the days of State banks they furnished all the money neces sary to "move the crops" and meet the demands of business, and we never heard of one section calling on another section to help it out nor calling upon the Treasury of the United States to supply it with small bills or any other kind of money. These all are peculiar to the present era, of money centralization.. ; The old State banks had a banking capi tal of about $450,000,000 of money that circulated-about home, most of which never went away from home and(all of which came back homelf it did go away. , ," u ; j 5 '". ' That's the kind of money the South and the West need to-day, and that's why the South and the West ought to unite in the demand for State banks and insist on making them a recognized and essential part, as they once were, of our monetary system. , ' - : j ; ; . . - MINOR MENTION. The impression has been that it is the Secretary of the Treasury, with his associates in office, who runs the financial department of the Govern ment, but that doesn't seem to be the case now, at least in the opinion of the Springfield, Mass., Republican, a gold standard paper, which is friend ly to the administration, and warmly endorses the methods adopted for "protecting" the "reserve." Dis cussing the situation it states the case thus: "The bond syndicate prevents a fall in the Government's gold reserve be low $100,000,000 by handing over 300.000 more in gold coin in exchange for legal tender notes. This will iriake nearly $10,000,000 which the syndicate has paid over to the Treasury in gold since last February above what it was obliged to pay by the contract. Pro fuse remarks continue to come from Washington as' to what the, Treasury officials think and are to do about the renewal of gold exports. But Wall street is not paying any attention to them. It is studying the face of J. Pier pont Morgan. If Morgan looks cheer ful stocks move up. If he goes yacht ing the Government reserve is known to be all right. Morgan is running the financial end of the Government just now, and the attempts of the Treasury officials to make people think they are excite only smiles among the knowing." That a syndicate has been found to handle the bonds of this Govern ment (for a large consideration) and temporarily fill up the gaps that may be made in the gold -reserve, may be in the estimation of some a cause of congratulation, but in what humiliation does it put a great Gov ernment like this to be forced . to acknowledge its dependence upon any syndicate to protect its Treas ury and save it from making con fession of bankruptcy? That is pre cisely the predicament in which it is placed by this blind adhesion to the gold rule, and its stupid refusal to pay out silver which it has at com mand and can pay out under the law. Mexico, as all of our States have, has an anti-duelling law, but it has not been enforced until recently, when Col. Francisco Romero, of the Mexican Army, was tried for killing Col. Verastegui in a duel, on the 9th of August last year. In Mexico nine men compose a jury, and a majority of them convict. Col. Romero was convicted in all the courts, and the sentence was that he be confined in prison for four years and three months, with a fine of $1,800 or 100 days additional Imprisonment, if pre ferred. In addition to this he has to pay an annuity of $4,500, in month ly installments, to the , widow of Verastegui, for eighteen years, the funeral expenses amounting to $460 and all the costs of the trial. Being an army officer he will be confined in a military prison. The seconds were acquitted. With such sentences as this duelling will be found to be an ex pensive business in Mexico, with correspondingly little inducement to engage in it. In the estimation of some that country may not be a model of civilization, but in the vigor with which she sits down on the duello she sets an example that other countries which boast a higher civilization would do well to follow. .. In an interview with a correspon dent of the New York Herald Gover nor McKinlev. of Ohio, said in speaking ; of .y the condition of his State, VOur; industries are all grow ing and we have a bright outlook for the future." This suggests the in quiry that if Ohio's industries are all growing, and- it has suchaf bright outlook for the future, what is Mr. McKinley going to have to build his calamity platforin on, and 'hold up the Wilson tariff as an object lesson of disaster, which was so confidently predicted when that bill was under consideration ? Mr McKinley, nd his political associates were counting cm making the tariff the, issue in the campaign oM896, for- the double purpose kf side-tracking the silver question and humbugging the people, as they had been: doing; for years, but with their industries growing ario! a bright outlook for "the future, bow many, even of their former; followers, will they find to take any . stock in they high protection business ? ' As matters are running now; it r looks very much as if the high-tariff issue, from the Republican- standpoint, Would be knocked "out arid' that all the capital that will be made out of that will be made by .the Demo cfats wnose-? promises- are being more than realized. - : I "ofessor Wiggins1 . says Niagara rver is showing signs of crying up, but Wiggins isn't. - ; -r ...... - ' . - - -- - --- .. .-r..- --.v . .- - n, si iawfcfcBMMMWiMMWi CURRENT COMMENT.

Are Responsible For a Great Deal of -. Illness and Should Mot Be Overlooked. - C - i ' - . - A physician ,who has given much thought to the hygiene of clothing has come to the conclusion that many deaths are caused by heavy woolen undercloth ing. . .-: : ,.; -';;:-;:..; ;- ,. It can be proved that flannels are of ten the cause of severe colds. .-To hare a cold is to be in a diseased condition, and that means a loss of vitality and a short-' ening of life. It may even mean sudden death. . i-t--ti ---v.. One can easily demonstrate, in one's own person on a small scale the ill ef fects of excessive, flannels., Bind your hand in thick woolen bandages' and . leave it' in that condition for a night.: In the morning you will find it damp and flabby, the pores all open. It is in the most susceptible condition for catch ing cold. If the whole body were brought to the same state," the result of exposure to cold air would inevitably be disas trous. ' That the whole body is often brought to a nearly similar condition is certain. The majority of people during the win ter incase themselves in heavy, tight woolen or flannel garments. These pro voke perspiration and do not absorb it ; The result is that the wearer's skin is hot, damp and highly susceptible to the inflammatory effects of cold. A slightly lowered temperature can hardly fail to bring on a cold. ' - Heavy woolen underclothing is abl to do all the more harm because it has the weight of ancient domestic tradi tion. Few people dare to bo wiser than their grandmothers. Woolen undercloth ing, according to modern experience, should be as light as is consistent with comfort. There are many persons who go through the winter healthily in cot ton underwear, and these are probably the most fortunate class of the popula tion. But the warmth preserving quali ties of wool are not to be ignored. One of its great properties is that it is a bad conductor of heat The heat of the body, therefore, is not given out by it It also does not stick to the skin and does not absorb perspiration freely. This is a quality of doubtful value. While it is agreeable not to have your undercloth ing glued to your skin it is injurious to carry a deposit of moisture which may become cold and do harm in all parts of the body. The object, therefore, should be to wear underclothing which does not cause excessive perspiration. It should be light and loose. Wool is apparently the best material for the majority of people. The subject of colds receives too little attention. Many people are resigned to the perpetual possession of them. They should be regarded as disease danger ous, offensive and unclean. Patent medicine advertisements print eloquent descriptions of their final effects. These remarks are applicable to those who have neglected themselves too long and are fit subjects for the hospital or pro longed medical treatment A wise at tention to clothing 'and the general health is more valuable than all reme dies and treatment Colds are probably the chief cause of illness and disease among human beings. They give little trouble to animals, who wear no clothing. Arguing from these facts, some enthusiasts would say that the less clothing yon wear and the more you expose yourself the healthier you will be. But a state of civilization of consider able antiquity has made it necessary for man to preserve his natural heat by ar tificial means. It is not permissible to abandon clothing entirely in this coun try. Nor is it advisable to wear as little as the publio authorities will permit during an American winter. Neither warm clothing nor artificial heat will satisfactorily replace the natur al heat of the body. To preserve this should be the first aim of all who wish to avoid colds. Good food, fresh air and ex ercise are obviously the principal means. ; In the care of the body the skin should take an important place. As far as colds are concerned it is all important, be cause they rarely occur unless the skin is in a certain condition. - When the pores of the skin are opened, the cold air enters where it is not want ed and causes an inflammation. In cold weather the pores should be closed. Cold water is an excellent vehicle for closing the pores. The weight of experi ence seems to prove that it is better to use warm water first Much depends on the individual constitution. The warm water cleanses and softens the skin and relieves the body of super fluous moisture, the frequent source of colds. Following this, the cold water will close the pores and put the nrin in a sound, normal condition. No one should stay in cold water long enough to feel discomfort New York World. Just Like a Man. Mrs. Somebody, who lives in Thir teenth street, has an infant son who is just beginning to walk.. Last week he jf ell down stairs, so his mother bought a 'gate to put at the top of the stairs. .There Is a little metal socket screwed to each side of the stairs, and the gate fits jinto these. It was put up one day i Wednesday, I think. It was Mr. Some jbody's night at the lodge, and Mrs. Somebody remembered after he had left the house that he had not been told of the gate. She was so exercised for fear he would fall over it when he came in that she sat up for him. He was late, very late, and she was very tired. And fyet when he did come, and realized how devotedly she had waited up in order to save him a tumble, what do yrra think the heartless man said? "Why, my Lear." said ha. "why didn't you just lift the gate out?" Wasn't that just like a man? Wash ington Post ; j Naming a Girl Baby. ; The most popular name to bestow on a' baby girl at this time is Dorothy evi dently, for out of 178 girls' names in the catalogues of the babies whose por traits were shown air a recent baby dis play 14 bore Dorothy. Next in favor was Marjorie, spelled even Marjourie. Ruth, which is generally supposed to be the favorite, owing to its connection with the White House, wasn't in the race for popularity, as only three infants were so named in the: returns. Helen or Helene came next in favor, Kate or Katherine holding its own, and Mary, and Marie were well ahead along with Gladys and Elizabeth. Such names as Beatrice, Josephine, Anita, ' Eleanor, Jessica, Alice, Madeline, Florence and Rachel were twice represented, but aside from that the widest variety figured, v i It is evident that much greater inde pendence is shown now than formerly in christening the feminine portion of the population. When two or more children in a family were represented in'the cata logue it looked as if there had been an attempt to select names in harmony. In one family there were MaurieL Dorothy,: Marion and Marjorie, a happy combination.- The most distinctive trio possibly were Honor, Gillian and Rufus Barr. If that family doesn't turn out well then there is nothing in the effect of' a name. Drenna was one of the oddest names; Serane another. There were two Bettys, one dear Peggy, a Mollie, three -Virginias, one Lorna Doone and a Yo lande. New York Commercial A BUSH FIRE;: fioti"-'" ":. - " , A blistering heat that drove the fowls, with their beaks gaping, off the burning ground into the sheljer of the slab hut A scorching, withering heat that had made sapless hay of the grass in the paddocks and reddened the foliage of the gums and the stringy barks liko tho bluzo of a bush fire. A heat that had slicked up all mois ture and marbled tho land with cracfea of ; shrinkage and turned tho water holes iato mere mud baths, while the distant creeK had nothing but its brown flag grass and dry swamp bed to show, where the water baa run. '- -: About the homestead tho few cattle still alive bung with their heads stolidly over; tho slip rails, refusing, In spite of all driv ing, to seek again for tho sustenance it was impossiblo to find. Tho framework of a horse, his lnv.l bctwocn his lugs, and as much in the shade lis ho could got on tho lee sidoof an old ironbark, stood impassive and motionless. All round the horizon a dirty Juizo of snioko melted. into a yellow veil of fog covering tho sky. . . Tho sun glared down. Tho air shim mered tremulously, as though it sickened with its burden. And over all that land not one gleam of freshness, not one sound of joy, not a murmur save tho eternal zing, zing, zing of the locust- Seared, blasted, strioken, a curso was upon it and .upon every living thing. Abe Saunders was down at what used to be the creek trying to draw out his last milking cow from the place when she had bogged in a vain effort to find water grass. , ! Abo hauled and strained at tho rope, his shirt and trousers clinging to him with sweat Tho boast .- kicked and plunged feebly, its' littlo strength quito gone, and after two hours' work it was more firmly bogged than over. ; t "It's no good," said Abe, VI must get hefp. I'll go up the gully for old Mason and his tackle. If we loso that cow, what will the children do for milk?" Wearily ho turned to go, when the sound of a "Coo-eel" turned him sharply about "Coo-ool" he shouted. A little pauso, and again the cry echoed: "Coo-oo!" ' "It's Mary," he said. "What the devil's upf" It was a good threo miles to the ridge; but, liko a wallaby with the dogs in full cry, he sped over rock and gully back to tho homestead. Long beforo be got there, he hoard a strango roaring in the air, saw black, belching clouds over the tree tops, and felt a fierce rushing furnace breath. Tho bush was on fire. With tho energy of fear ho dashed along. Thero was tho clearing, with Mary at the house door still shouting at intervals. Even as he came up, the red storm was upon them. In mad frenzy he seized the two children, one under each arm, and shrieking to his wife above the din of the fire to bring the baby, ho rushed to the center of the plowed paddock. There they crouched panting. The children were howling, the baby was crying, and Mary was sobbing. The man said nothing. He watched the fire. Would the houso escape? There was 50 feet of bare ground all about it But the air, so calm a minute ago, was now a roar ing hurricane traveling at racing speed over the ridge. Tho tea tree scrub melted before it, and tho bush trees remained in its rear only as black and burning trunks. The fence had caught; the flames licked it up daintily. The shod, with his cart and harness, were, and were not, while he looked. A piece of burning, "stringy bark, whirled by the wind, settled on the shin gles of the house. Tho woman moaned and pressed the child closer to her bosom. The man's face was drawn in agony. The house was burning, the work of his own hands. How many months of weary sawing and splitting had its shingles and slabs cost him ! Ho thought of it all as he stood there, helpless and half suffocated. In less than a minute the flames were shooting out of the doorways and windows, and a loud report was followed by the fall of a side of tho house. It was the explosion of his powder flask, hung on the welL "Can't you put it out, Abe?" "Put out h I" And he ground his teeth. Through tho open framework they could see tho bed, the tables, tho chairs all blaz ing ono after another. The spirit of the man revolted. "Look, Mary," hecricd; "there goes the cradle I mado for tho kids." And as he spoke tho aspect of his face changed. The limit of his suffering had come, and, like an old tlmo victim of the rack, he began to laugh. A hollow laugh, weird and ter rible. - "That's a good joke, Mary I The farce is ended all over in ono act! Ha, ha, ha 1" "You're mad, Abe," said his wife, shrinking from him with a great dread in her eyes. "Don't laugh like that It's horrible!" "Mad, my dear! Thafsgood. Ha! hal ha! Say I've boon , mad, tho most con founded lunatic in this blasted blistering country. To slog and belt for ten long years to make a homo of our own, to clear land, to fence it, drain it, plant it and all to make five minutes' bonfire? Scs, I've been mad, stark, staring mad, but now ha! ha! ha! I was never so sensible in my life! "See how the cradle burns, Mary. It was a bit of she oak and worked ' like a watch. , Don't it look pretty now? They might be silk curtains, all those flounces round it! Why don't you laugh, girl? It's a great joke. Look! The roof is falling in I It's as good as fireworks. Hold np the kids; let them laugh. It's all the same price. Ha! ha! ha!" But tho woman replied nothing, fright ened, staring at him. The children screamed. The driving shoot of flame had long gone by. Skirting the plowed ground where they stood, it had left tho bare sur face an untouched blank in its ghastly fu neral trail. Only tree stumps, posts and fallen branches, smoked and smoldered here and there. The man stood motion less till morning, but the four charred corner posts remained bf his home. . "Let's see the play out," he said. "Ha! ha! ha! Ha! ha! hal" The fire was raging many miles farther onward when Abe Saunders, taking the two children by the band, led the way down the track to the main road. 'His wife dragged wearily after him, the baby in her arms, looking back from time to time at the smoking ruin. The group passed on to tho road, where the red dust Hew in thick choking clouds that shrouded them from view. .... But long after they hid disappeared there sounded the wail of the children, the moaning of the women and loud above all the mirth loss laughter of a broken hearted man. Sydney Bulletin.
