FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18. 1895.

VERILY, these are glorious October days.

WITH good flour S3.25 per barrel, apples SI per barrel, and potatoes 20 cents a bushel, nobody ought to go hungry this year.

THE Treasury deficit for the first half of October has reached 89,484,667.87. The deficit for the first three months and a half of the present fiscal year is $19,369,325.98. The gold reserve is 892,999,013.

THE Interior wants a tax put on the Americans who flit to Europe every year, carrying 8100,000,000 in gold with them. It says, very correctly, that travel in this country would do them much more good, as they find nothing in (Europe that begins to compare with Niagara, the Yellowstone, and the Yosemite.

THERE is said to be a freight car famine from the Atlantic coast to the trans-Mississippi, This is a conclusive evidence of plenty. It shows that the farmers have been busy and •that their labors have been rewarded with full returns, The only drawback is the prices they receive for their products, thanks to Democratic legislation.

An odd scheme of raising money was tried at the Baptist church in Saco, Me., two Sundays ago. Every person present was asked to put in a plain envelope as many cents, or their equivalent, as the giver had years. The envelopes were not marked for identification, and the »givers were put on their honor not to cheat the church by mistating their age. The results were satisfactory.

ADMIRAL GEORGE BROWN, head of the United States Navy, recently visited his old home at Indianapolis, and while there was mustered into the Grand Aimy of the Republic. When the Admiral heard the principles of the Order read he said: "I have been in the service of my country 47 years, and have lived up to the principles all that time. I feel, therefore that I have been a member in spirit of the Grand Army all those years."

A CHICAGO paper has learned that of the forty-four State Governors, thirtynine are avowed believers in religion. Ten are Presbyterians, five Congregationalists, five Episcopalians, four Methodists, three Unitarians, one Baptist and one Christian, while the remaining ten say they are simply Christians. Governor Budd, of California, in his reply, says he has no religion, but he believes in the observance of Sunday aB the day of rest. His parents are not believers, and he was brought up as a free thinker. Governor Oates, of Alabama, says that he is not a member of any church, and that he has joined but two institutions •—the Masonic fraternity and the Democratic party.

JGIV CINCINNATI Commercial Gazette: When ". potatoes are so plentiful and cheap, jj ^and with the popularity of corn increasing as an article of human food, which also is abnormally cheap, how can one expect any decided advance in wheat values, though crops are short?

Yesterday and Monday the receipts and sales of potatoes in Cincinnati were the largest in the history of the trade, parties estimating them at sev-enty-five cars for the two days. Such activity in the railroad yards—for the grocers now buy their potatoes direct from the track, saving the double drayage—was never witnessed. These potatoes are selling at 28@35c. per bushel, according to quality, and net the farmer about 12@15c. per bushel at his nearest station.

THE JOURNAL has frequently had occasion to say that the people ought to prefer the home building and loan as sociations to the foreign concerns. The same advice is given by the Cin cinnati Co-Operatlve News, a standard journal of information on the subject, which, says, in exposing a rotten con cern that has just failed in Maine: "It will be seen that that this is but an other variation ef the same old story that always appears in connection with the business of a 'national association.' These concerns are not run for the benefit of their shareholders, but in the interest of their so-called managers. It sis far cheaper, safer and more sensible to lake care of your

TyPBPB.

own savings through some local •association than it is to send your hardearned savings away to some otWr state to be cared for by some stranger who is not interested in you be.\ ond what he can make out of you. I a other words {it is more rational for yourself and your friends and acquaintances to club together to take care of your own money then it is for you to pay a big price to strangers to take care of it for you."

CHICAGO Inter-Ocean: Brice and Gorman both insist that "the present tariff is the best ever made." Ask Professor Wilson about it. The BriceGorman faction only offered about 600 amendments and the original maker did not know his offspring when it finally got through the mill. If it is "a tariff for revenue," and that doesn't raise the revenue, it is a great success! The Democratic party has been in mourning and its flag at half mast ever since its enactment.

Probate Court.

The will of Thomas Taylor has been admitted to probate and A. D. Thomas has qualified as executor. The decedent left quite an estate which is left to his children.

BonKht the Gravel Pit.

The county commissioners Tuesday completed the purchase of the Myers gravel pit on the Midland road. The Midland road will take half the pit and will pay for it by hauling gravel to parts along its line where it can be easily obtained by the road workers.

Beversed.

The case of H. H. Ristine, guardian, vs. Charles Johnson and others, has been reeversd by the Supreme Court. Judge Monks holds that the statute does not provide for any interest on the purchase money paid at a tax sale —only a penalty thereon and costs as allowed by law in case of redemption.

Rattling the Delinquents.

It seems that Auditor Goben is mightily stirring up those who have allowed their interest on their school mortgages to become delinquent. This money is loaned out at 6 per cent, and can be kept out so long as the interest is paid in advance. From some cause, however, a number of those borrowing the money did not keep up their interest and a few weeks ago it was found that about 88,000 in back interest was due. The law attaches a penalty of 3 per [cent, for delinquency and the delinquents have been stirred up and have been coming in at a lively rate for some days. Many of them are madder than wet hens at having to pay the 2 per cent, penalty and Mr. Goben has been in pretty hot water. However, the interest should have been kept up, and the delinquents have no one to blame except themselves. Mr. Goben will oblige them all to pay up before he goes permamently to his home in Illinois.

Does Not Gat a Red.

Auditor John L. Goben is considerably exercised over the report that he gets the two per cent penalty for the collection of delinquent interest on the school fund mortages.» Mr. Goben wants it distinctly understood that he does not get one cent. The penalty goes to the fund. Mr. Goben states that he is ripped up the back anyhow without being accused of that two per cent. He says that he gave every delinquent a fair chance to pay up without the penalty and that many did so. Those who did not can't kick.

MISSING! BANKER.

Grent Excitement Over a Failure at BK gonrnny.Ia. DES MOINKS. la., Oct. 17.—A special

from Sigourney says: There is great excitement over the bank failure at Richland, this county. A. C. Charleton and Allen Stocker have conducted a private banking business at that place for years. Last Thursday Oharleton departed leaving a note in which he told his partner that he had gone for more money, and asking Stocker to run the bank until his (Cliarleton's) return. The safe was locked at the time and is still locked as Mr. Stocker does qot know the combination. Saturday Stocker announced that he believed his partner had left for parts unknown. Monday various creditors became anxious and attachments aggregating $40,000 were secured for real estate formerly owned by Stocker, but which he deeded to his son.

The deposits are estimated to amount to between £50,000 and $60,000. The firm always paid 8 per cent, interest on deposits, and hence attracts a large custom. Charleton, it is said, has been dealing on the Chicago board of trade, and it is thought here loBt heavily. The county has 12,000 on deposit in the bank, but it is secured. An attempt is being made to have a receiver appointed.

CONDEMNED BY THE POPE.

Congresses of Religion Planed Under the Ran by the Vatican. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 17.—Pope Leo

has written an important letter to the Catholic hierarchy of America, condemning the assemblage of congresses of religion. The letter has been delivered to Archbishop Ryan, of this city, and to' all other archbishops. It was the main subject considered at the recent assembling of the archbishops at Washington, but the efforts of secrecy were successful in keeping the latter from publicity. What steps the archbishops took cannot be learned, but with the views of the pope thus clearly expressed the American church will doubtless anathematize congresses of religion in the same way that an interdiction was placed on Catholic participation in the Knights of Pythias, odd fellows and other secret societies.

REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.

It Transacts Some Important Business In Chicago. CHICAGO, Oct. 17.—The National. Re

publican league met here Wednesday when representatives from twentyseven states were present. A strong attempt was made to remove the headquarters of the league from Chicago to Washington, but it was ultimately decided by a vote of 11 to 5 to remain here. The Iowa plan of organization by district and county leagues was unanimously adopted and immediate steps were directed to be taken for carrying out the plan.

Blew Out the Gas.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 17.—Meredith Mahan and Francis M. Chilton, of Eminence, Shannon county, Mo., were found in their room at the Ridgeway hotel about 8 o'clock Wednesday morning, the former dead and the latter unconscious and dying from suffocation by gas. The men were well-known stock raisers and came here with cattle to sell. It is supposed to be a case of blowing Out the gas.

Oleomargarine Dealers in Trouble!. WHEELING, W. Va., Oct. 17.—Seventy-

five grocers in eastern Ohio have got themselves into trouble by selling oleomargarine without a license. The United States commissioner at Washington has the cases in charge, and the fines are quite heavy.

Cholera in Egypt.

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, Oct. 17. The total number of cases of cholera at Dalietta up to the evening of October 15 was 16, and the number of deaths up to the same time was 4.
