The 1 kind of monkey work which is practiced thus with the people's money was what stamped the ' financial stress upon thecountry With the object of preventing this tremendous accumulation J districts, outside of which the National banks may not trans port their reserves, thus keeping the money of a given district at home for local use. The Hey burn bill further vouchsafes the is founded upon the wisest princi pies; that Senator Heyburn has j the right side of the argument, and ^ that his proposed law would meet : the country's need. There appears to be a collection of national law I generally. of the people's money at the stock jobbing and gambling cen ters, the senator has introduced a bill intended to create reserve proposition by increasing the necessary bank reserves to 20 per cent of the deposits. Senator Heyburn, after discussing the matter at length concludes that the difficulty is one of distribu tion rather than sufficiency, and to correct this matter his bill has been framed.

It seems most reasona- 1 ole to expect that the western and southern memb.-rs would coinside ' with the Heyburn view, and endeav or to sit flat upon any measure that would tend to strengthen the pres ent hold of the stock jobbers upon the finances of the country. Here is the way Senator Heyburn puts it: "The actual money in the Unit- j ed States is about one-fourth of the hank deposits held by the national, state and private hanks and trust companies, ro that every dollar of actual money in existenceis behind three dollars of credit. I think probably the amount of actual money is sufficinet, and it is a safe foundation for tile credit, hut the money must be kept alive and act ive, and must not he allowed to accumulate in centers of specula tive business—in fact, I think it should be kept as near home as possible. By doing so each com munity gets the benefit of the mon ey belonging to it."—Lemhi Her aid. disposition to reveal themselves in new aspects.

It was a spec tacle that may not have been duplicated since the white man pitched his tent within sight of those mountains and those who were so fortunate as to witness it were especially favored, The sky here was over-cast; the clouds seemed to hang low and the morning was unusually dark. But over the Owyhees there was a belt of clear sky. Through that the sunlight pour ed; illuminating the entire range and causing it to stand out as a miracle of whiteness. Every line of the show-clad peaks was brought out, and all shown so brilliantly that, the beauty of the scene became unearthly, the pic ture impressing the beholder as something that did not belong to this plain old earth, An effect was produced like j that when a curtain lifts, enab ^ ling persons in a darkened hall : to see some magnificent works of .art flooded with an intenselight.
