Washington, Dbc. 13.—The house
banking and currency committee con
tinued ite hearing today. Letters were
read irom W. M. Dana, editor of tha
Commercial end Financial Chronicle,
and It. 15. Farria, vice-president of the
bank of New York. Feme said: "There
seems to be no good reason why exist
ing national b.-uisa which have United
Staios bonds on deposit with the > comp
troller, should not be allowed to con
tinue as they are until their chnrtere
expire or the deposited bonds are paid
off. Section 7 of Carlisle's biil aeems
like forcing tho banka to do what they
have not been conoulted about."
Ferris advocated tho establishment of
central redemption agencies, which
would, ho thought, enhance the elastic
ity of tbe circulation based on the de
posit of bonds.
KeferriiiL- lo section 10 of Ccrlisle'fl
hill, providing for the issue of notes
by etate banks, without the provision of
sinking fund. Ferris eaid:
"It makes tbe bill simply an inflation
measure, modified by the deposit of ill)
por cent of tbe legal tender notes, and
tbe provision to cancel! I'nited States
notos to tbe extent of 70 per vi nt of tbe
new circulation issued when '.lie treas
ury bas to do it."
The lettsr concluded: "Aa a bill to
substitute national bunk notes for a new
issue it will bo v failure, ua it presents
no inducements toeolid banks to become
insurers of tbo circulation of mushroom
institutions, and tiio stimulant to or
ganise bni.ka aot subject to United
elates inspection ia questionable."
William 11. Cornwall, president of the
City Netional bank of HtilFalo nnd presi
dent of the Slate Bankers' association,
said his recommendations were as fol
lows :
First—The greenback an.l treasury
nttes shoulj bo redeemed, then can
celled, Tho .-sal business o! tbe govern
ment os reaarda money, is to stamp
noon gold and silver their fineness und
Weight, A government baa no right to
isatui money wilb nothing back of It
end to make it legal tender—to create a
cnirenc.v and by an act oi law, force tiie
people to take ita full value without
a regard to intrinsic worth. All such
issues up to today tutve ended in trouble.
Thu greenback and treasury note are of
this charscter. ihey tire the govern
ment's, note to the extent ot $500,000,000
payable on demand and in gold. They
have caused trouble enough already,
rhey ara a constant meuace to tbe gold
reserve They should be paid up.
Second—Tbe vacancy should be filled
with bank notes—tbe best currency of
the beet nations today is mainly bark
notes which are a li re t, lien upon tbe
of the bans. These usßeti) are
commercial possessions, representing
tbe product of the brain and mtiecie of
miiiione of people. They are the
wealth of tbe nation. What better
basis for circulation can there bo than
thia—tbe ccttiul wealth of tbe nation?
To fill tiie vacancy created by the
retirement of the legal tenders, and as I
feet as they are retired nation.il banks j
Bhonld be allowed to issue notes to a
percentage of capital, witbout bond j
security, the notes to be a first Hen upon
tbe at-fi'ij of the bank, including the
doable liability of stockholders, with a
guarantee fund made up by nil of the
banks, the government continuing to
guarantee end redeem all notes as at
present. This is practically the Balti
more plan. It is citnple anil good as far
as it goes, and it goej far enough for the
present.
Third—To perfect the system further
and make out the complicated and del
icate problems attending tbis, an impar
tial, expert commission should be ap
pointed.
To recapitulate:
1. Hetiro the leiral tenders.
2. Let the national bauks take out
notes under the Baltimore plan to re
place them.
3. Appoint an impartial, expert com
mission to perfect our currency system.
Replying to questions, Cornwall
said be thought greenbacks and treasury
notes outstanding Bhould be redeemed,
but he would perform thie redemption
with low rate bonds, lie alse said he
did not consider that part of .Secretary
Carlisle's plan relating to tbe retire
ment of treasury notea BUlliciently defin
ite. Cornwall said that a return to atate '.
bank notes would bring about a return
of counterfeiting, not reduced to tbe
minimum.
At tiie afternoon eessiou, Chairmen
Springer read a letter fronr A, B. Hep
burn of New York, ex-comptroller of tbe
currency, and one of tha advocatea of
the Baltimore plan. .Mr. Hepburn wrote
aa follows:
"Ol course Mr. Carliale'a proviaione
requiring banka taking out circulation
to deposit greenbacks aud treaaury
notes is made iv tbe iuteiest of reliev
ing tbe government, and not for the
benefit of a currency iaeue. Ido not
know that I have cny objection to tbis.
1 would like to Bee any Bale course pur
sued which would relieve the govern
ment of its embarrassments. It is by
no meane a blessing to the batiks. Too
retirement of tbe government Irom the
banking business, while it would bene
fit tbe government and the people aa v
whole, would certainly put added re»
■ poußibility upon tiie banks. lam
strongly oppoted to the proposition to
do away with tho requirements that the
banks keep receiver, aud my under
standing of tbo law does not tally witb
tha' ol the secretary.
"The low when it was drafted, as I un
derstand it, waa based upon the experi
ence of prudent and well managed
banks, and the reserve waa fixed at a
point wbere prudent and weli-meanink!
bunks carried tbeir reserve. It waß
sought to lis a limit ao a well managed
bank would an often be over asunder
the reserve in tbe regnlar courae of bua
inees. This law is made, not for tbe
nine banks who would observe it with
out any legal provisions, but fcr the
tenth, that either by incompetent,
"speculative or unsafe luanm ement
might fail to keep a proper reßervo and
to keep ita finances sufficiently strong to
meet ihe demands that might l.c made
npon it.
''The Btateuiont which the tocretary
makee that tho state hanka keep 20 per
cent receive, whereas the national banks
k -ep <h I ? 18, i do not thiUK iv well
lon.r.ded."
Mr. liepbnrn also criticized the ro
peal of the 10 per cent t«x on atate
bank notea while leavivg ■ »t on na
tional bank notea; aleo the tjrbidding
of national banks to iasue notea of leas
than *TO. Tbe aafety lund ahould alao
be equally compulaory; atate banks
Bbould alao be required to keep the same
reserve. ,
He doses by saying: "The aacretary's
diecuneion of the financial question in
general, I moat cordially approve, and,
the conclusions he reaches, I believe are
wiee and sound, but the details of the
bill he has submitted, in my judgment,
are open to serious criticism."
The committee then adjourned until
tomorrow.

San Francisco, Dec. 18.—There no
longer remains any doubt in the minda
1 of Soulhem Pacific employees that they
I will have to eubmit to a reduction in
I salaries at the first of the year. Ever
eiuce the genera! shake-up a few months
ago, rumors of reduction have bsen rife,
though the anxious employeea did not
anticipate Biich a general and heavy
reduction that rumor has given credit
to within the last day or bo, and neither
did they suppose tbat the reduction
would be as far reaching as it probably
will be. The whoie Pacitic division,
from Portland on the north to Ogden en
the east and F.I Paso on the soutb, will
!be affected. Hardly any branch of the
| system escapes the reduction, which will
j be in ttie neighborhood of 10 per cent.

ON A NEBRASKA unknown
Lire Waa Only a Dreary Waste When th,
G rasshopper* Came.
It was well on in August, and tht
drought had done its worst to the oorn.
It was a hot, sultry day, as parched ami
dry as all the days before. The sky wat
clear but for tho usual haze that never
left it, the haze of wearing heat. About
noon my fnth.r camo up from tho field
and .summoned us to see something that
looked like snow. Tho air about tho sun
seemed filled with suowflakes, thick,
innumerable, and flitting rapidly, t>s
suowflakes do. But snowflakes and tho
clear atmosphere and tho hot day wero
quite incompatible things. They could
not bo snowflakes, but what else could
they bo? Wo racked our brains in vain
to imagine. Perhaps it was somo kind
of a cyclone which had lifted leaves and
dust and other such things into the air.
But thero was no signs of that, and ev
ery ono of the snowflakes wns of regu
lar size, with no such irregularity as
sticks and branches and leaves carried
into tho air would present.
We ate dinner in puzzled uncertainty
as to what was hanging over us. But
two hours later it was painfully appar
ent what tbe snowflakes in thesnn real
ly were. They wero full grown grass
hoppers. By 4 o'clock the air was clear
and serene, and the grasshoppers were
with us. They were not a few thousand
insects, miserable little pests, flitting
about in tho nir and gotting into your
face when yon wero out of doors. They
wero millions upon millions. The trees
became brown with thorn. They cover
ed the corn as some insects will literal
ly hide from view a luaf scLueiiiiieE*.
They were hungry, too, and began to
eat leaves, cornstalks, the bark of trees,
anything and everything was needed to
fill this ravenous army that had fallen
upon us from heaven. Ono went ont of
doors aud stepped on scores at each
stride. They crawled up your trousers
legs and tinder-women's skirts. They
mado holes iv the cloth fly netting and
came into tho house. They plumped
hard into your face with a littlo whack
ing sting wherever you went or did not
go. Everything seemed alive with them.
I was young then and was filled sim
ply with a curious wouder. But as I
think of 'it now I am sure my father
must have been quite overpowered with
discouragement when he saw what tbe
grasshoppers really meant. He saw on
the first day that they had alighted to
get a square meal and certainly meant
to have it. But day after day they lin
gered, and new terrors developed in
them. They had alighted to lay their
Tho soft earth in the plowed
fields seemed to please them for this
purpose, aud each day you might sco
grasshoppers 1 1 S or 2 inches long bor
ing their tails into the ground until
only their heads remained above. Thero
they would stay from morning until
night and then go away. If you exam
ined this earth nest when the bird had
flown, you would find a soft, silky co
coon filled with innumerablo small,
pulpy eggs which meant a whole crop
of grasshoppers the following spring.—

Fly Catchers.
A gentleman who went into tbe woods
region on a hunting excursion aud "put
up" at a farmhouse in a remote clearing
was annoyed during tho daytime with
the abundance of flies that found access
to tho house. But when twilight of
evening came he was treated to au exhi
bitioii of fly catching that moro than re
paid him for his vexation. Tho windows
wero opened as tho darkness settled
down, aud tho hostess' tallow dip only
partially dispelled tho gloom in tho old
fashioned kitchen, when ho suddenly
becamo aware of odd creatures darting
to and fro in tho room, often comiug al
most into his face, while n queer little
noise of "snip, snip, snip," seemed to
follow their velvety fluttering motions.
For an instant ho was startled, not
knowing what to make of such intrud
ers.
"It's only tko bats, "said tho lady
quietly as sho pursued her work. ' 'They
aro catching flics. Don't you hear 'em
snip off their wings? There'll be hun
dreds of fiy wings on the floor here in
tho morning."
Tho gentleman arose early and looked
for tho wings, and euro enough tho floor
and tables wero littered with them.—
