day, and there wore several hundred seat- tered through the state, nrd om the Westorn Unlon, As the Louisiana lottery existed only through the use of the United States mail and died when their use was cut off, so th ool rooms could flourish only through The taciiities extended to them by the tele grnph eompany. To that company —they rought an enormous annual revenud with the lowest cost of collecting it. Their pro prietors were at the mercy of the company. and they never troubled it with litigation They r:\l'l on the mail for everything and paid heavily; and it was natural that the eompany should give to such good pay- ing patrons all possible facilities for their business. No department was more thor oughly organized than the gambling depart ment, and none paid better. But as the Touisiana lottery finally became, through its corrupting influence, a stench in the nostrils of all_decent people, and so, de spite its lavish outlays of money. was finally suppressed ;: 80 the pool rooms became a et ing evil, and the law has stepped in to make an end of them. Now that the state of New York has set the example it will surely be followed by the great majority of the states Consolution for the Company How much the Western Union company has made in the past by its encouragement af these cambling places throughout the ocountry, and how much it still_makes, is not easy to conjecture. It certainly is no incon siderable proportion of the dividend it pays. Of course it may be said that the company is not a censor of the public morals, tha the pool rooms existed ~and it simply gave them business facilities. This s true, but when it is considered what they were charged for these facilities, how promptly and uncomplainingly the charges had to be paid, and how thoroughly their business (which wholly dcpenaed upon the use of the telcgraph) was or ganized, it is easy to sec that they were a favored class of customers. They have been wholly suppressed in this state, they soon will be in nearly all the states with corresponding gain to the public morals; if the Western Union is a loser thereby, pecuniarily, even a large loser, its officers will at least have the consolation of know- ing that what is theic loss is the public gain WALL STREET CONCERN New York Fi 1era Discuss the Monetary Situntio NEW Yok, April 22 turally enough, in view of the continued heavy exports of gold to Furope and the uncertainty of the treasury policy, Wall street today concerned | itselt almost entirely with the various rumors in regard to the attitude of the York banks toward the government. rhe sum of £100.000 gold was paid into the sub- treasury in New York today by the Sca- men's Exchange bank. The withdrawals were $1,100,000. The most important event of the day was 8 two hours conference between the bank presidents and Assistart Treasurer Conrad N. Jordan at the clearing house this after foon. After it was over it was learned that Henry W. Cannon, president of the Cha National bank, had a conference with M. Jordan last night and had gone to Washing- ton a8 an emissary from the bankers here to President Cleveland. This morning Assistant Treasurer Jordan issued an invitation to ten of the leading bank presidents to meet him at the clearing house for a conference at 2 o'clock today. At the meeting the financial situation wis thoroughly discussed, and it was decided that the parity of gold and silver must be maintained and that the gov. ecnment must meot its oblizations in gold at any cost. It was practically decided among the bankers that they would advance no more gold to the treasury without an in- vitation, and even then not'a large amount without'a bond issue. A Patriot for Profit. Sacretary of the Treasury Carlisle recontly received an offer to_deposit gold in the sub- treasury at San Francisco, which he ac- copted.” The gold was turned i ment for it to the correspondents York of the depositor was authorized by telegraph. The correspondent appeared at the subtreasury here and reccived green- backs, which he returned today und de- manded gold for them. Thus a transfer of gold was mnade from San Franeisco 1o New Yori with a saving of freight and five days {nterest and & patriotic offerof gold was con- verted into a transaction for profit. Mr. Carlisle will be here Tuesday or Wednesaay to participate in the naval demonstratons, and, it is thought, will have a conference with the leading inanciers. The usual ten days statement of customs ayments at the port of Now York shows a rther slight decrease of payments mad on treasury notes and a decrease in the re ceipts of United States notes, almost equal to the receipts of sil ificates. The figures are: Gold, 21 per cent; gold certifi- cates, 4 per cont; silver certificates, 20.1 per United States notes, 47.6 per cent, and treasury notos, 26.2 per cent Rockefeller of the Standard Oil company, who has business interests all over the world, says: “1do not beliove Presiaent Cleveland will let us go off a gold basis. He can keep gold and silver at a parity by selling bonds, and I beliove he will do it. Aside from the gold_question, I believe the administration will have to issue bonds, auyhow, to meet the expense of the governient. 1 Clevelana's Hands, “Qur present trouble comes from the simple uncertainty of the situation. 1f Presi- dent Cleveland came out in a straightfor- ward way and stated that he proposed to keep the currency on a gold basis by issuing bonds it would answer the purpose. I be- lieve, with such a statement alone, the situ- ation would-be relieved enough so no bonds would need to be issued to maintain the parity. The general situation throughout the country is in good shape so far as our dealings go. Our exports with Europe have never been so large as they are today. As to the report about our demanding gold in paying Dbills, this applied only to our goods sold abroad. This situation has always ex- isted in our dealings with Europe. In our domestic trade domestic currency applios. It has always been i Europe may pay our bills in gold. MI EC Orrawa, 1L, April 22.—On the ev departure for Washington to assume the duties of omice, Hon. James P. Eckels, President Cleveland’s recently appointed comptroller of the currency, was tendered a farewell banquet by the citizens of Ottawa where he has resided for twelve years past Among the 100 guests were many Illinoisans of promivence in financinl and political circles, In response to the toast, “Our Guest: Mr. Eckels presented his views concerning the conduct of his office. He said in part “The offico bestowed upon me, unsought though it was, is not unappreciated, nor its responsibilities underestimated. From its ereation under the exigencies of the civil war to the present the office of comptrplle of the curiency of itself has ranked high in the estimation of the public and gained in hoonor and diguity by the character of those who have heretofore filled it with great credit to themselves and benefit to the nation. *Criticisme*has been passed by many that a practical lawyer, rather than a skilled finan- cier, has been placed at the head of a bureau, distinctively a fluancial one, and the intima- vion has been thrown out that the banking system must suffer serious impairment through the rashuess of the comptroller in takiag action without a suficient under. standing of his duties, Noimpairment to any sys can be brought about by an honest and enforcement of the law which governs it, and those most strenuous in the i- clsm must not complain if the national bank act as it stands upon the statute book be the rule and guide of the comptroller. The danger to the public, the danger to the banks, has never been the rashuess of the comptroller, but has always had its source in the indifference of bank officials to keeping within * the restrictions of the law. 1 venture the statement that the history of bank failures since the organiz- tion of the first bank will prove that the loose methods of the officials of failing banks or their patent dishonesties have caused the groat majority of bank disasters. If those most interested in the natioual banks desire most Lo serve the public and themselves, let thew insist that those placed in direct con- e o i trol of thoso institntions bo not only tech- nically honest, but abwolutely so “In'the apparent keeping within the law, and yet in absolute evasion of it on the part of many who hold theso blaces of trust, is to be found that which makes the position of : comptroller a dificult one, and renders it essential that those who have at heart the | interests of the system should urge | instead of protest against the very strictest construction of the act that has given ther suchg power and profit and tne public at critical times the highest benefit. To this end 1 shall strive. 1 may be pardoned, in view of the doubts of many as to the wisdom of ihe president’s nomination of me, if 1 insist that the interest and well-being of the comptroller’s office and the credit of the ad ministration be held in higher esteem than the building ap of some political leader, who has _constituents. 1am not averse to partisanship, but the partisanship which works the highest good to the party is that | which draws distinctly the line of demark ation between political questions and bus. iness propositions, When we have reachec the pofnt where we can view the business side of every public question apart | from its political one, we will be freed from the troubles that have more than once returned to plague us. Who can doubt but that the less of politics and more of business judgment would huve prevented th placing upon the statute books of the Unitec States an act which today is giving the sec retary of the treasury ho.rs of unxious thought to maintain the nation's credit! Democratic partisans and republican parti sans striving for party advantage gave to the special silver interests the Sherman law s against the business judgment of cven the author of it himself, and, as a result, the financial world is agitated to the very center at the prospect of a silver monetary system here in opposition to that of every nation of recognized commercial standing The disasters of its continued operation now threatened may be averted for the present through wise and_heroic acts of the presi dent and the secretary of the treasury, but just so sure as it remains th b the | year unrcpealed, just so sure shall gold | be drawn from “circulation ana a de- bauched and discredited siiver dollar be given to us in its stead.” d from 1 nrg. Prorsnera, Pa., April In addition to the §100,000 sent by the First National bank, the clearing house banks of Pittsburg stand prepared to furnish the Umited States treasury with at least £1,000,000 in gold for curry f 0 lisle sees fit to call | upon them, and probably £00,000 more if it is nceded. None of the bankers here antic pate any serious disturbance of the money market as a result of the encroachment upon the national gold reserve. 'They say the re- ser s intended for just s iz and the course Secrotary Carlisle is pursuing is the same as that of any banker under like cireums! s. His action has had no appre ciable effect upon business here and interest rates remain the same, To Confer on the Fianeinl Situation, Wasmisaroy, D, C., April 22.—Henry W.

The police detectives spent the greater part of the night after 8 p. m. looking for Miss May Miller, bookkeeper for Klopp & Bartlett, who is wanted for embezzlement According to the story of the proprietors related to the police late last night Miss | Miller drew 275 from the bank to pay the men and after placing the coin in packages | went to lunch. Nothing has since been | heard of her and naturally the proprietors think that she took the money with her, as it could not be found in her desk or in the safe. It was & hard case for the detectives to | work in, because if the woman had left the town she had ten hours the start before the volice were notified Chief Detective Haze placed all his mgn on the case where it was brought to his notice nd ordered every depot watched. When seen at La, m. Haze was satisfied that the | woman had managed to leave fown before her employers missed her, as there area number of trains leaving Omaha between noov and 8 p. m. \ From correspondence found by the police it is more than probable that the young woman left for Chicago to join a lover. If such is the case she will be arrested today by the Windy City police, as a description has been sent by telegraph, Miss Miller has been bookkeeper and pay- | master for Klopp & Bartlett for some time and according to the reports from her em- ployers she was o good and faithful servant and _they placed the utmost confidence in | her honesty. - HE'S DEAD NOW, Ross, the Murderous Tramp, Dies in Jallat | Marshalltown. Booxe, Ta., April 22.—The wamp, Ross, who two months ago made a murderous at- tack upon Farmer Grabenharst near here, and was driven away by the farmer's two daughters, died today at Marshalltown from injuries inflicted upon his head by the girls. Itis reported today that Grabenharsu is much worse and cannot recover, gl i s o In a Peck of Trouble, Dexver, Colo., April 22.—The National Bank of Commerce of Kansas City began an attachment suit E.

PuesLo, Colo., April 22.—The hide and wool business of Benjamin McLain & Co. was attached this morning at the instance of the Metropolitan National bank of Kan- sas City for $11,000. Some small accounts | are also owed in town. The manager 1s out | of the city and the details of the case are un- kuown. - Vessels Ashore. CLEYELAND, O., April 22.—The steamer | John Pridgeon went ashore this morning | about nine miles west of Ashtabula, She is high up on the beach and it has been impos- sible to geta line to her. Tugs have been sent to see what can be done, but thus far have made no report. 1t is believed the ves sel will be released without serious damug when the sea goes aown. There was a re port this morning to the effect that a schooner had gone ashore near Ashtabula, but there seems to be no foundation for the | rumor. e Chicago’s Healthy Co tion, Cutoaco, 111, April 22.—The aunual report of Health Commissioner Wear was published today and declares that the general health of the city of Chicago has never been as good as at the present time. The water supply, he declares, is better than at an Wi lous period in the city’s experience. Siuce Janu- ary, 1800, to the present time, there has been a steady decrease in the annual death rate, and the rate is now lower than in any city in this country or in Europe. s e Dismissed the Hazers., CLEVELAND, O., April 22.—The president and faculty of Delaware university met | and dismissed from the institution the | nine students who committed the branding outrage on the members of a Greek lette fraternity. The terms of the dismissal per- mit the students to gain_admission to other universities, whereas if they had been ex- pelled they could not have done so. - Eastern Weather, Beprorp, Pa., April 22.—A terrible storm, accompanied by a blinding fall of snow and sleet, prevailed here most of the day. At one time it resembled a western blizzard. e Fire Record. Haurax, N. S, April 22.—The Baldwin hotel and two blocks of stores were destroyed by fire today.

Nomore men have gond’ 6Yt, and none have come pack as yvet, although there are indications that a few, at least, of the old men who went out on the 17th, are daissatistied, and say thut if they had understood matters they would not have goue out. ‘This morning it was passed along the line that “good news for the atrikers came this morning.” But, following it up, one cannot find anything particularly reviving. Inan interview with Mr. Barnum, super intendent of motive, today, he said that th particular grievance of the men had been re moved on the 18th, four days before the men went out, when the following order came by telegranh M. K. Bansvs: Starting May 1 the shops of notive power and car department will be run on nine hours at North Platt 1 1L MANNING It has been said that this was an afier thought, But the fact remains that the in structions as above were posted on the bulletin board in the machine shopon the 14th, Answering a question as to how many men had gone out, Mr. Barnum saia twenty seven muchinists, eleven boilermakers and ten apprentices Asked for a word on the situation, Super intendent Parks said: “There are no new developments in the strike among machinists at the Union Pacitic shops. The numbver out is_small compared with those who remained with the company. Everything is running along smoothly and I ean see 1o reason why it should not continue to do so for at least six wecks under present circumstances. The power has never been in better shape. We also have some in reserve by reason of stock business usual at this time of year. The strike is remarkable for the quiet, gentle manly conduct of those out and the absence of feeling between them and those who are at work. Mr. McConnell, general superin tendent of machinery, has many admirers among the men who were caught in the en tangling alliance of the union. No doubt should the thing come to a showdown they will show their loyalty to ‘little Joe.' " Want Transportation Back Home.

They represent that they were brought here unc u understanding that there was no strike in the shops.
