The panic in treet New York, on last sday was moat startling, sautnorities do not hesi saying that the deollne of - Jttmen w icuep alerhand uture. c^ectlve work in the The West Virginia University has received a severe blow at the hands of the men who went there last week to infuse it with new , life and inaugurate a broad and sweeping reform. It must be Prof-Thomas C. MUler, of Fairmont, thefacul ? man and one who will llll the position to which ? ^6en CaUed' ^"cefuUy "*satiffactorily. The selection of Mr. Alderson to fill the chair of ancient languages is not ap proved oy the alumni and others who understand the situation. No serious objection can be urg ed as regard* Mr. Armstrong who goes to the chair of mathe matics. However, when certain professors were "bounced." it was to be presumed that their places would be filled by better men. This evidently. has not been done. The action of the board in demanding the resigna tion of Dr. Turner and all other professors and then their failure to elect another president, leaves West Virginia's grandest and .greatest institution of learning in a very critical condition. The institution has prospered under -Or. Turner's care and unless the ^?n?ts,had a PrPPer and well ?qualified man to at once assume control, no change ought to have been made in the presidency of the institution. *N the mlfUt of all the financial reverses that are paralyzing the country's prosperity. the Semo cratic press is Ci'ying for '?wild cat" money. Last w%ek the Pro. ffress, a Georgia newspaper, gave ofStetefCanTs:g0ntheqUe8UOn "If State banks'are establish ed on a sound basis, with proper safeguards, it would be as good rc,i^papernow ln circulation. Nobody complains of that?in fact it is preferable to either gold or silver as a circulating medium."

Washington, July 22.?Since. the 1st of January nearly 200 National banks have closed their doors againstJess than 50 for the same period last year. Of the failures this year five hive been United States depoai-' tories as follows: The First Na tional Bank of Little Rock, Ark., the Gate City National Bank of Atlanta, Ga.. the People's Na tional Bank of Denver, the Ger man National' Bank of Denver, I the Kentucky National Bank of I Louisville, Ky. I This latter tank, which closed I to day. had by the last report re-1 ceived 1880,000 of United States funds. The goverment, however I will, not lose anything by these I failures, as each national banit that is a government depository I has to deposit United States I bonds to the amount of govern ment money, it is allowed to I carry. These bonds, in case of the failure of the bank, are sold for the account of the government, and as United States bonds are I at a premium in the financial market, there is never any diffi culty in realizing. This afternoon Comptroller Eckels ordered bank examiners to take charge of the failed banks I as follows: Escott, at Louis ville, Ky.; Plumber at Knoxville, Tenn.; Sawyer, at Russell, Kan.; j Stone, at Vernon, Tex.; Lynch, at Milwaukee, Wis. OTHER BUSINESS troubles. Memphis. Tenn.?The Citizens Bank of Anthony closed its doors. Its assets are $154,000 and lia bilities $50,000. Greeley, Col.?The Union Bank has made an assignment to Jas. F. Benedict, of Denver. The bank is perfectly solvent, and not a depositor will lose a dollar. Russell, Kan.?The First Na tional Bank of this place was taken possession of by C, M. Sawyer on order of the Comp troller of the Carrenoy. No statement is made. Knoxville, Tenn.?The State National Bank of this city closed its doors. It has long been known to be the weakest in the city, and its failure was not unexpected. Milwaukee, -Wis.?Bernard & Jacob Cross, comprising $he arm of Cross Brothers, soap manu facturers, have, confessed judg ment for $21,014.20 on a note made April 80,1892. and May 19, 1892, in favor of Leopold Cross. when so good ? re: Stop that ooufth! : trouble.
