THE WESTERX BABE FAILURES.
Another hank has failed a: Minneapolis, of
?which ox-Governor Ramsay was president some
ye-Hrs ago, ami with il two others of small con
Kequeue-e. All were thoroughly solvent, it ls
stated, hut were dragged down by the unrea
aonlng alarm of depeisttors which prevails so
widely at the West. Men not well Informed
regarding the position of Western hanks ex?
press some surprise because failures In that
seoilon have of late been noticeably numerous.
But ihose who have examined the matter most
eks_el,v. like President Lyman J. Gage, of Chi?
cago, do not hesitate to say over their own sig?
's natures that there ls no present or recent stress
J Ht the West to cause these disasters, that the
/ eommercial fabric is entirely sound and that
1 the situation does not warrant any alarm. The
closeKt inquiry by mercantile agencies has not
brought to light other causes, Id Important
caa***, than unwiso management or serious
losses in times happily now past, and under
conditions which no longer exint. On the sur?
face 62 bank failures In the last quarter
of the year 1896. with liabilities exceeding
$30,_r*O,00O, against U.6 In the previous nine
months, with liabilities of $20,465,000, might
be supposed to indicate some new and hurtful
force in operation. But the facts show that
all the more Important failures are in fact
wreeks due to mismanagement months or even
years ago.
The fact that a few such failures of impor?
tance have dragged down a number of other
banks which were not really unsound is easily
explained. It must be remembered that the
Western States have Just passed through a po?
litical campaign of great excitement. In which
distrust of financial Institutions was by one
great political party Inflamed to the utmost.
0 The hatred of money lenders by debtors, the
chronic prejudices of farmers against men who
are supposed to render no public service be?
cause they raise no tangible crops, were for
months excited as far aa possible by Populist
speakers and papers aa a means of gaining
votes. It might have been predicted, after
auch a preparation of the soil, that any promi?
nent bank failure would produce a large crop
of disasters, a kind of epidemic of dlatrust,
erith runs on banka never before distrusted,
aud distrusted now without any cause.
The failure of the National Bank of Illinois,
which opened the disturbance and by itself
counted for about $13.00(>,000 out of the S^O,
000.000 of defaulted bankiug liabilities In the
whole country during the last quarter, was dis?
tinctly due to deliberate and persistent viola?
tion of law In holstering np stock speculations
which the collapse of the Diamond Match
crowd last summer had crippled. When the
Chicago Stock Exchange waa closed for
months, because most Important failures would
have followed If there had been any market,
In which to sell local speculative securities,
everybody knew that other concerns of large
Importance might be on the verge of bank?
ruptcy, in New-York banking circles the slrua
Hon wai so far understood that the great
banking failure caused no surprise or alarm,
and the losses of New-York banks through all
the failures at the West have been singularly
small. Yet the failure of the Bank of Illinois
?taned the wave of apprehension among de?
positors at the West, who had been prepared
by political agitators to distrust everybody,
and tbe apprehension easily spread.
The cause of other important failures was
not essentially different. One institution had
tried to lift some reckless grain speculators
through a disastrous campaign based -poa
short crop stories Inst spring, and the loss wa*
so heavy then that some concerns were left
waterlogged wrecks liefore the natural rise,
based upon a legitimate foreign demand, began
in tSe fall. I^ls said that another concern was
practically bankrupted more than a year ago
by carrying numerous ventures in real estate
and manufacturing of various kinds. At least
one other seems to have been so closely con?
nected with conspicuous and influential Popo
crntic managers and financiers that it might as
well, for ail practical purposes, have staked
lhe money of depositors on the success of the
silver campaign. But such sporadic cases of
disregard alike of law and of the principles of
good banking are to l>e found always after any
time of serious financial stress. In not one
case of importance does the most rigid inquiry
disclose a failure due to conditions prevailing
since the election, or to recent misfortunes in
business or In industry at the West. On tlie J
coutrary, that section has been greatly bene- ]
fited by the course of events within the last j
two months, nnd ls better prepared to buy
largely and to extend business transactions
than it has been for vears.
j '
SEXATOR WOLCOTT'S RECEPTIOX.
lu a cable dispatch which appears iu another
column of this paper the London correspondent
of The Tribune conveys some interesting In?
formation concerning the reception which Sen?
ator Wolcott is likely to meet In England, and
the difficulties he will encounter in his en?
deavors to revive the interest of leading com?
mercial nations In the subject of bimetallism.
An unusual'y coreiial reception is anticipated for
him, not only because of the lately renewed
friendly relations between this and the mother
country, but on his own account personally, his
attitude in the S"nate during the pendency of
the Venezuela dispute and his conservative
speech on that subject having commended him
to specially favorable consideration. The social
attentions whick he is expected to receive will
undoubtedly be gratifying to him while con?
tributing to promote increased friendliness be?
tween the two nations. Let us hope also that
they will serve to compensate him for any feel?
ing of disappointment he may experience at the
non-success of what is generally spoken of as his
"mission" abroad. That mission, as ls well un?
derstood, and as he himself took pains to make
known before his departure, ls entirely unoffi?
cial. Senator Wolcott is not authorized to repre?
sent In any sense either Mr. McKinley or the
American Senate, nor can he he said to repre?
sent any more than a very small minority of the
party responsible for the Incoming Administra?
tion. It is hardly necessary to say this, for Sen?
ator Wolcott is too frank and outspoken to per?
mit a moment's doubt as to the fact to remain
in the mind of any one.
Consequently, when the London hankers ask
him, as Mr. Ford anticipates they will at the
outset, what ratio between gold and silver he
has to propos? tentaiively on his own behalf or
sympathetically on the part of Mr. McKinley, he
will be obliged to answer?if, indeed, he is pre?
pared to give a categorical answer to so specific
an Inquiry?for himself alone. It ls just pos?
sible that he may bear a commission from the
organization known as the Bimetallic League*,
but if that or any other body of bimetallists has
seriously considered any other ratio than the ut?
terly impossible one of 16 to 1 it ls not publie-ly
known. When they ask what he has to offer
England In return for the abandonment or
compromise of the principle of the single gold
standard, we apprehend that even Senator Wol
eeott's readiness of resource, Ingenuity in argu?
ment and fertility in expedients will be put to a
quite Impossible task. However that may ho.
he will certainly enjoy tlie advantage of an in?
terchange of views with men of affairs, who
have made a close study of the principles of
finance, and whose opinions are based upon ex?
tensive business experience without the admixt?
ure of political, in the sense of partisan, or local
considerations. In that clearer atmosphere it ls
not Impossible that his own preconceived views
may undergo some modification.
Our correspondent's observations upon the pos?
sible effect of continued stringency in the money
market at home and iu India, and the consequent
export of gold, as tending to a more favorable
consideration of the object of Senator Wolcott's
mission, will be read with Interest. The three
concessions which have been discussed at In?
formal conferences between the financial au?
thorities of the British Government, the olficials
of the Bank of England and other prominent
bankers are not unimportant, since they indi?
cate willingness to reopen discussion. But the
changes proposed are so slight that they will
hardly be reckoned as concessions by even the
more moderate and conservative of the bimetal
lists represented by Senator Walcott. These con?
cessions are the reopening of the Indian minis
for silver coinage, the coinage of ?.ri.0O0,0(Ki
worth of silver in England, and an Increase of
silver deposits in the Bank of England to the
extent of 25 per cent of the reserve.
As will be Mei at n glance, they go but a Title
way toward satisfying the demands of tlie bi?
metallists: being hardly sufficient, in fact, to fur?
nish a basis for any new effort at an intcna
iional agreement. The most that caa be said
ls that existing financial conditions in London
and in India are In a very slight degree more
favorable to such a mission as that of Senator
Wolcott than they have been for many years.
On tbe other hand, if it be found thal lhe pres?
ent unusual pressure in the money marketa 1 is
not Induced any material progress toward an
International agreement, lt will go far to close
the question and permanently dismiss bimetal?
lism from the realm of practical discussion.
A POOR QVIDBBOABD.
While a majority of the members of the Legis?
lature which goes into action to-day at Albany
are awaiting with more or less Impatience the
appointed time for putting into operation the
views respecting the United States Senatorship
which they have adopted after long and prayer?
ful consideration, the memlters of lhe minority
are apparently still looking for guidance concern?
ing the straight path of duty. I'uder Uiose cir?
cumstances we observe with Interest that 'i sign?
board has Just been erected at the State Capitol
by a gentleman who answers to the histor!.
name of Teu Eyck, and who confesses that he is
one of a "Committee of Eight cf the city of Al?
bany." Mr. Ten Eyck and his culled gu ?** refrain
from dictating the Democratic Bomlnatloa for
the Senatorship, and consequently their llre?
tlons as to the right course are less valurble
than they might be; but In pointing om the
course which they Judge to be utlerly and lire
uiedlably had they are perfectly explicit. *f)o
not vote for Senator Hill" is the essential part
of tire warning which they have posted, and if
they had stopped there they would have avoided
the criticisms which are now sure to lie na seed
upon their performance. It has never been reek
oned as one of the functions of s guldeboard to
present arguments in support of the propositions
which lt advances, and the general rule of 1 rev
tty and decision should have been applied In
this case, for the directions of the ('ommlttee of
Eight, though negative lu expression. Vt* posi?
tive In character, and tlie reasons which are ap?
pended only serve to confuse the mind and sug?
gest doubts of the infallibility of the committee.
Thus, when Democratic memlters of the Legis?
lature are adjured "not to iesert those principles
"which the party so gallantly contended for at
"Buffalo." a question at once arises as to what
principles tire Committee of Eight refers to, and
the uncertainty is much increased bf the follow?
ing mysterious nppeal: "I>o not endeavor false
"iy to stem the tide of that would-be gold plank
"which fell at Chicago. It will give honor to
"a deserter; it will place a price on hypocrisy."
It ls not Impossible that Mr. Ten Eyck's bosom
is swell'ng with one of thc most sublime senti?
ments which ever struggled for express' >n, l-iit
the gentlemen willi whom he is laboring are sure
to wonder what ails him, especially when they
read further that "Senator Hill was the ni:iin
"cause of throwing the party in a chaos by the
"disgraceful nomination of Thae-her. .ind tried
"hard to hold him in tlie field after the people
"and his party had repudiated bim nnd he had
"repudiated himself." We can't make out for
the life of ns whether Ten Eyck wants to have
the tide of that would-be gold plank which fell
at Chicago stemmed, provided it can be stcmnifd
truly instead of falsely, or whether he ls op?
posed to having it stemmed at all, or. In fact,
what lie means by the tide of il, or whether lt
was hard luck or a sweet boon that it was noth?
ing more than a "woulel-be."
And then there ls Thacher. How is anybody
going to derive any substantial argument con?
cerning the would-be gold plank and the stem?
ming of It from the fact of Thacher's nomina?
tion, until Ten Eyck lets us know whether and
under what circumstances the stemming proc?
ess ought to be undertaken? The Intimation
that Ten Eyck ls Hie artist who painted for the
Albany Governor's Kallery the portrait of Bos?
well Pettibone Plower which Thacher refused
to accept has no logical bearing on the c.ise
whatsoever. "Do not vote for Senator Hill" was
a plain and Intelligible injunction, but Ten Eyck
ami his Committee of Eight have spoiled their
warning by going ont of their way to justify
it with Incomprehensible explanations. We ad?
vise them to take the guldeboard down before
the members of the minority in the Legislature
lose their way entirely.
MORE DEFAETBEBT8 WASTED.
A proper spirit of economy warrants serious
doubt whether the various projects for multiply?
ing the department! of government would se?
cure for the people benefit!- commensurate with
the Increase of expenditures. It is always the
natural tendency to increase departments and
bureaus, as each interest or branch of business
imagines it might be materially benefited if
there were a separate department of the dov
ernment created to look after lt. But there ll
reason for grave doubt whether this extension
of the energies of government is in the right di?
rection.
Now lt ls proposed to have I special depart?
ment devoted to tlie Interests of commence and
manufactures. But manufactures are not a
branch of the Government of the United States,
nor ls commerce. Both are industries or inter?
ests of the people which, in common with all
other Interests and industries, it is the business
of government to protect and defend, but what
can a separate department; with a great army
of clerks and liookkeppers, spce-ialists and statls
tii'ians, nnd with bureaus and documents in?
numerable, do, for either branch of the people's
Industry which they are not able to do and are
not now doing for themselves? If there be any
such service, the question is whether it will be
worth lo the country more than it will cost, nt a
time when the Treasury is severely embarrassed,
lt is proposed to transfer to iliis Department
all the consular serviee of the l'nlted States,
and in effect to make the selection of persons to
represent the country abroad in this capacity to
depend entirely upon their ethviency in promot?
ing the commerce of the country. In that case
there ls th" danger that the far more Important
objects for which such officials were created
would be materially neglected or sacrificed. It
docs not follow that thc riglii man to louk after
foreign markets feir merchants or manufacturers
of this country would also bc just the right man
to protect the rights of American citizens in for?
eign countries, to care tor seamen, to assist
travellers and defend their Interests when as?
sailed, to look after the rights and the honor of
the Inked States tiovernmeut in foreign ports,
and to give to the shipping of the country such
guardianship and care as it there requires. The
multiplicity of interests which the consular
service is originally organized to care for would
In a measure be neglected, and might. In fact, be
directly sacrificed. If it st**?ld be maele the prin?
cipal function of the consular officer to build
Up in foreign ports markets for American prod?
ucts. He would then become, in the very nature
of the case. ? seeker for favor at the hands of
the most influential classes In foreign ports, and
would be obliged many times to sacrifice cither
the disposition of trailers and bankers in sue'h
ports to increase American commerce or the
rights and the Interests of the Nation and of Its
citizens abroad.
.4 WARXIXG TO XEW-YORK.
Binghamton has learned a lesson which should
not Ito wasted on New-York. The burning of
the Broome County courthouse did not Involve
the loss of the county re-cords as a whole, be?
cause they were housed in another building,
but it did destroy the r-coids of the Surrogates
Court, and it is Impossible to say how much
annoyance that may cause. If the transcripts
of deeds,and mortgages had by any chance re?
mained in the courthouse the title to a great
humber of valuable estates would to-day be pre?
carious. Nothing but good fortune and the lib?
eral foresight of the citizens of Broome County,
who provided a proper repository for their rec?
ords, prevented this confusion. Yet, no doubt,
every proposition to expend money for the
protection of these valuable papers was for
yenrs me-t arith tbs remark that the>y had been
well enough preserved for half a century and
the chances wen* that nothing would happen to
them for the next half-century.
New-York has fur a lung time treated its rec?
ords as if tliey were sd much old Junk, whleh it
was not worth while to destroy, but which it
was hardly worth while to keep. Now. how?
ever, there is a considerable public sentliueut
sroussd la favor of ths construction of a fire?
proof structure to contain these paper*,. The
Binghamton fire mt it to give reno wed energy
to those who are pushing the project, and con?
vince all of the ensy-goiug that it is not safe to
trust to luck too long. The chance of fire in an
old building like the Hali of Records is great,
nnd only a miracle has preserved lt to the pres?
ent day. In it are kept document)- on which
millions of dollnrs depend, yet they are kept as
If they were of no Impedance whatever, and
there Ih no possibility eif guaranteeing their
safety until a thoroughly fireproof Hall of Rec?
ords is erected. A bill has been prepared to ?e
rnre this greatly need.il structure, and the pros*
ped of its Itecomlng a law at the coming wsHlon
ttt the Legislature ls good. But lt will not do
to rest content with this proapect. All possible
ipecd must be made In securing legislation and
immediately afterward In getting a site and
completing the building This ls not tbe kind of
n public work that may be undertaken at lei?
sure. We cannot afford to give hostages to fort?
une for a day longer than the shortest time In
which all diligence can give us a Hall of Rec?
ords and guarantee our documents against de?
struction and our titles against confusion.
A BOOM EOS SLUGGIXO.
There ought to lie a decided revival of in?
terest in prize-fighting In this neighborhood,
now that another "sUitfger" has been Killed in
the ring. The manly sport had fallen into some
disrepute of late, on account of the preference
men have shown for using their mouths rather
than their fists, and for resorting to "The
Ready I.etter-Writer" rather thou lo the Mar?
quis of Queensberry's rules. But now that not
only hns a genuine "fight to a finish" taken
place, but one of the contestants has been
killed outright, the sport ls rehabilitated,
"dents" may go to see it with reasonable as?
surance of having their most brutal and blood?
thirsty passions gratified. They may not see
a man killed every time, of course. We have
not yet reached a stage of civilization In which
that ls possible. But they may see the man
who did the killing trying his expert hand on
another antagonist, In the same ring, and un?
der the same management. The memory of
what did occur there thc other night will be
grateful to them, and they will le encouraged
lo hope that that gala performance may be re?
peated.
.\iid why should lt not be repeated? It is
merely fhe logical e-limax of the manly sport.
One man tries to "knock out" or "put to sleep"
his antagonist, that ls. to disable him. in so
many rounds; or the two try to see which cnn
most maul mid mutilate the other and which
can first pound the other Into Insensibility.
Nothing could lie more fitting than that they
should go on a bit further ami see how quickly
they can kill each other. I'liqiiestionably that
would add to the Interest and popularity of the
game. Men go to seo a fight not for the sake
of any mythical "se-ientillc points," but to see
and to enjoy the sight of bruises and blood and
torture. In like manner they would gloat over
the agonies of a horse disembowelled by the
horns of a bull, or a chained bear torn to pieces
by dogs, or human beings devoured by wild
heasts. Nothing disgusts them more than a
[tilae fight with mt blood, In which nobody gets
badly burr. Nothing warms the cockles of
their hearts more than a fight in which one of
tlie fighters ls actually killed. Yes. the death
it this wretched ruffian ought to cause a great
boom in slugging, and to cause the disreputa?
ble den in which lt occurred to be thronged
nightly hy applauding multitudes of "the
fancy."
The Democrats In the Legislature have not yet
decided who will be their candidate for United
States Senator. It Isn't a matter of the least
consequence, any way.
The Louisville Councilman who told his breth?
ren that Instead of passing Cuban resolutions
they should ask Congress to ?cnd to Kentucky
to stamp out mob violence the force suggested
for Cuba may have lion striking below the
belt, but he called attention to a weakness nf
our National character.
Fayers of blackmail are always told that lt Is
to placate Important people who cannot appear
personally In the transaction. Thus Elizabeth
Whittaker, who deposes that she paid the sum
if $100 to ex-Assistant District-Attorney Purdy,
was Informed that mine of lt was to go to the
ige.nt of the Parkhurst society, anel it ls a won?
der she was ne>t told that a percentage of it was
to go to Parkhurst himself. In the case of the po?
liceman Morrow, who paid ni'iney to get on the
force, he seems to have been assured that the
lion's share of lt waa for Commissioner Parker.
There is no end of the fanciful tales which, In
such cases, are Invented to ace*ount for the dis?
tribution of the money. In the days nf Tam?
many domination lt was plausible enough that
inybody In that organization should be ready to
take any plunder that came along, hut with the

"Tha Baltimore Herald" tells a good story of
Bishop Paret (Episcopal), of that city. Some time
ago he was the guest of an Episcopal family In
West Virginia. Learning from the Bishop that he
liked hard-boiled eggs for. breakfast, hla hostess
went to the kitchen to boll them herself. While so
engaged she began to sing the first stanza of the'
hymn "Bock of Ages." Th-*n she sang tha second
stanza, the Bishop, who was In the dining-room,
Joining In. When lt was finished there was silence',
and the Hlshop remarked:
"Why not sing the third verse?"
"The third verse?" replied the lady, as she came
Into the dining-room carrying the steaming ego*;
"oh! that's not necessary."
"I don't understand," replied Bishop Paret.
"Oh! you see," she said, "whan I am cooking
eggs I always sing one verse for soft-boiled and
two for hard-boiled."
The first reporter of France was, according to the
"Bevue de Parla," Louis XIII. The National
Library possesses the manuscripts of thirty-six
articles written hy that King; almost all are ac?
count.-, of his military operations. These articles
were published In the "Gazette de France." The
"copy," howey, r, diel not go directly to the printer.
Louts XIII wrote abominable French, and he hn.l
vague notions of orthography. His articles were
e-orre-cted and often entirely rearranged by a see
retary named Lucas, who copied them, sending to
Richelieu the* n.w manuscript. Blchelleu examined
ii In hl*i turn, and often Introduced additional cor?
rections. At ihe. tiega of Corblei the King wrote
I few lines eulogistic of the ("animal, but after
warel crossed them out of his article. Blchelleu
wrote th' rn In again, and so they appeared in the
