They Cannot Discharge or Appoint Employes at State Benevolent Institutions. According to Attorney-general Michenera constructioD of the law the trustees of the Instituto for tho Mind are-exercising a privilege, in attempting to discharge two officials connected with that institute, wlfich they do not possess. Any decision, he says, which the trustees may see tit to arrire at relative to the dismissal or retention of the services of any, official, without the approbation and concurrence of the superintendent of the institution, is unlawful, and can so be regarded . by the officials as so much waste of usurped authority. At the time of similar trouble arising between Dr. Fletcher as superintendent of the Hospital for the Insane and the ' trustees of that institution. Dr. Fletcher wrote to the Attorney-general to ascertain if the action of the board would be legal. "Section 2774, K. S.." vrrote back the Attorney-general, "covers the material porta of your question. The superintendent may, for good cause, diacharge any subordinates and employes, and appoint other competent persons in their places, which apDoiutment snail continue only until the next meet, ing of the board, at which time tho luperinteudant shall report all such changes, and the causes therefor, and the board may confirm such appointments, and if not continued, ho shall make other suitable appointments, subject to the confirmation of said board." l$y virtue of this section.' continued tho Attorney-general in his talk with the reporter, the trustees prescribe the number of employes to be employed, but tho superintendent discharges and appoints them, reporting the appointments to the board for continuation. The board ha9 no power to appoint or discharge. So far as this resolution operates to prescribe the number of employes who shall be employed, it is binding, but it is inoperative and void so far as it attempts to dictate the discharge of an employe. The superintendent alone has the power to say what persons shall be discharged. Both the Insane Hospital aud tho Institute for the Blind are governed by Section 2774." t Examining Securities Tho Insurance Commissioner of Connecticut, O. R. Fyler, is in the State exam ining the securities held in Indiana by the Connecticut insurance companies. He will be here in a day or two. iW sideboards at Vim L. Kldcr'a.

PHASES OF THE CAMPAIGN

Candidates for Aldermen Named in the Several Districts by Republicans. The Democratic Executive Committee Still Refuses to Fix a Time for the Convention, with a Hope of Defeating Norton. The Republican aldermanic primaries and conventions, last night, were well attended, and in some of them the contests, while good natured, were earnest and spirited. The primaries were opened at 7-J0, and aU of them were concluded in time for the conventions to meet, an honr later. i , In the First district tho convention organized with W. I Fishback as chairman and Worth Wright as secretary. Tho following resolutions, offered by Dr. H S. Elder, were unanimously adopted: Whereas, Our city requires and deserves the most approved method of public transportation, and illumination and the cheapest fuel for private use and manufacturing yurpoees, therelorn . IlcsolTed, That our delegatus are hereby Instructed to vote only for snch persons for the nomination for aJ tier ruan. as will pledge themelres to ue their Influence in favor of rapid transit power for our street-cars, lighting the street ly electricity If practicable, and maintaining the present prices of natural km against increase, and, a soon as possible, to reduce them to a still lower figure. Following tho passage of tho resolutions the roll of delegates elect was called, and the following candidates placed in nomination by the several wards: From tho First, Miles lieynolds; Second, Geo. W. Spahr; Seventh, George T. Dreunig; Eighth, II. 1L lievlUe. The name of Thomas MeMillau was also presented by the Seventh ward but subsequently withdrawn. On motion it was resolved to nominate candidates, one at a time, and the first ballot being taken, resulted. Reynolds 8, Spahr 8, Ureunig 7, and lieville 6. The second resulted. Reynolds 14, Spahr 8, and BreunitrS. The third showed Seville 12, Spahr 11, Reynolds 5, and Breunig 2L The fonrth gave Spahr. 12, Ueville 11, aud Breunig 7. On the fifth ballot Alderman Reynolds was renominated, getting six votes from the First, three from the Second, six from the Seventh and six from the Eighth ward a total of twenty-one votes Spahr receiving six and Breunig three of the remainder. It required half a dozen ballots to select a running mate for Mr. Reynolds, George lireunig being finally nominated. He received six votes from the Seventh, six from the Sixth and four from the First ward a total of sixteen votes. Of the other votes cast, Beville had eight and Spahr six. On motion the nomination of Messrs. Reynolds and Breunig was made unanimous and tho convention adjourned. In the Second district the voting passed off quietly, and from the evidences at the Sixth-street engine-house, where the meeting was held, tho result was entirely satisfactory. Theodore Smither, of the Fourth ward, waa conceded by all as a certain nominee, with A. A. lioung. of the Third, and Isaac Hamilton, the Fourteenth, as the two from whom the second candidate would be taken. At the last moment, however, tho supporters of Hamilton began to divide their votes between him and Dr. T. W. Lutz, of the Thirteenth ward, while one or two favored Al Moore, of tho Fifteenth. The balloting resulted as follows: Smither, 2ti; Yonug, lb; Hamilton, 10; Lutz, 6; Moore, 2. There was no rowdyism or trouble of any kind while the voting was going on. Tho Third district convention was organized by tho selection of Harrison T. Tincher as chairman and Andrew Smith, jr., as secretary. A single ballot sufficed to nominate the two candidates, the vote standing. Isaac Thalman. 24; Harry B. Smith, 24; Granville S. Wright, 12, Mr. Tbalman's vote was made up of six votes from tho Fifth, six from the Ninth, six from the Eleventh and six from the Twelfth ward. Mr. Smith had six votes froill the Fifth, six from the Tenth, six from tho Eleventh and six from the Twelfth ward. The Ninth and Tenth wards gave six votes each to Mr, Wright aud on motion of his supporters, the nominations of Messrs. Thalman and Smith were made unanimous. Mr. Wright was not actively a candidate before tho convention. The delegates elected to select candidates for the Fourth district met at No. 3 engine-house. Virginia avenue. L. A. Fulmer presided, and Edward Conway acted as secretary. Tho meeting was quiet and orderly, ana the two names submitted. B. F. lfetherington and A. O. Despo, did not provoke any opposition. On the two men above mentioned fell the choice of the meeting. At the samo piaco Thomas D. Shufelton, machinist, was nominated for Council by the delegates of the Eighteenth ward. The delegates of tho Fifth-district convention met at No. 10 engine house. Only one candidate was chosen. Maurice Barry. John Hale occupied the chair and Frank Steckin acted as secretary. , - The Aldermanic Ticket. Tho Republican nominations for aldermen are: . ' First District Miles M. Reynolds, coal and wood-dealer, George A. Breunig, accountant Second District Theodore k Smither, roofer; Archibald A. Younc. clerk. Third DUtrict Isaac Thalman, manufacturer; Harry B. Smith, merchant. Fourth District Benjamin F. lletherington. machinist; Alfred O. Despo, carpenter and builder. Fifth District Maurice Barry, machinist. Gossip About Candidates. The mayoralty seems to occupy, at this time, the place which the presidency held in the estimation of Henry Clay, Ma position neither to be sought for, nor declined." At least the first half of the description applies to it, for with less than four weeks intervening between this time and the city election, but one man has been found who has been bold enough to say that he is nn aspirant for the place. The others are either in tho hands of their friends, prominently mentioned or spoken of as tho case may be. There is that feeling of suspense which prevailed in ancient times, as chroniclers inform us, when the lists were prepared and the populace waited with bated breath to see what champions would amble into the ring, armed cap-a-pie and with their toad-stickers charpened up to the last degree of keenness. This suspense, however, cannot be much longer continued. The Republican city convention meets day after to-morrow, and the Democratic convention cannot bo much longer delayed by the Democratic executive committee even for the sake of nutting a few more chock blocks before Judgo Norton's wheels of progress. All things come round to those who wait. Meantime thero is a good deal of experimental suggestion in the way of proposing candidates on one side, and a good deal of objurgatory remark concerning proposed candidates on the other. In the Democratic camp tho mayoralty discussion is almost entirely confined to the controversy between tho friends of Judge Snllivau and Judgo Norton, and the talk is getting to be as acrimonious as the debates of the Guelphs and the GhibelJines, or the arguments of the Corkonians aud Far-downers. The attitude of Judge Sullivan seem to be particularly exasperating to tho Norton crowd, and they are very prompt to resent any suggestion that his record furnishes any evidence that he would be stronger with hir, party, or outside of it. than their cwn candidate, "Judgo Sullivan's big record before the people as a candidate is a myth," said one of these statesmen, yesterday. "He never has furnished any evidence of popular strength. Tho fact that hn ran two or three hundred votes ahead of his ticket in this county in tho race against Judge Hadlcy, last fall, counts for nothing when it is remembered that Hadley lived in Hendricks county, and tha whole cry of the legal fraternity here during tho campaign was that wo ought to have fora judge of the Circuit Court a man who lived in this county, in order that the chamber business of the court might bo more conveniently transacted. When Sullivan has been allowed to run on his own merits and without any adventitious or geographical aids, he has brought up at the tail of the procession, instead of finishing at the front. In the race for the Superior Court judgeships, when Judge Taylor was elected, Sullivan was the last of ihe three Democratic candidates, and he ran more than a hundred votes behind J. W. Harper, who was the next lowest Democrat -in tho poll behind Judgo Taylor. 1 don't

know that it was his fault that he fell behind his ticket, for he has not the social gifts that count in a popular canvass, but it makes me tired to hear his friends holding him up as a world-beater, when, in Eomt of fact, in an ordinary canvass, ho as shown himself to be a tail-ender." Granville S. Wright Suggested. Yesterday the friends of Granville S. Wright spoke of him as one who would be a strong candidate for Mayor. Mr. Wright is conversant with city affairs, aud those who would work actively for his nomination say that he would take to the office an experience promising a safe administration.

CULLINGS FROM THE COURTS. A Suit In Which the Validity of the Meat Inspection Law Is Involved. A motion to quash the . client against Philip Klein for selling 5 pounds of Chicago dressed beef that had not been inspected on the hoof in this . State, pursuant to the new meat-inspection law was made in the Criminal Court yesterday. Messrs. Slick and Loom is, the Chieago attorneys of Nelson Morris & Co., of that city, for whom Klein is agent here, submitted briefs in behalf of the motion. Their argument was in substance the same as that made in a recent case at Hammond, this State, where the new law was declared unconstitutional. Gone to Chicago. George Adainson, who, when arrested for drunkeuness and lodged in the police station, shot himself in the head with ' revolver, was brought up before tho Mayor yesterday morning on charges of drawing deadly weapons and drunkenness. The defendant pleaded guilty, claiming that he did not know what ne was doing at the time because he had been drinking heavily. His Honor, taking into account the suffering the man had gone through, mtlicted a small fine and costs, which were paid by relatives, and Adamson left the city atonco for Chicago. ' Marital Disagreements. There is increaced activity in the applications for divorce since the fall business has opened. Six suits of that character were begun yesterday, and four of them were instituted by feminine partners. Cruelty and abandonment were the inobt frequent causes alleged. In the suit of Caroline Ehrman vs. Louis Ehrman. tho plaintiff' wants a share of $11,000 which she claims her husband owns. Advertising Law. Amotion for an injunction was argued before Judge Walker, of the Superior Court, yesterday, in which Dynes & Co., publishers of the Weekly Gazette, seek to have tho city enjoined from having its advertising done in a daily paper, as required by the new law.

THE INTEREST UPON LOANS

Local Bankers Say tho Character of . Paper Covers the Difference in Rates, Good Collateral, They Claim, is All That Is Xeces3ary to Secure Jloney on Favorable Terms Another Bank Wanted. Several of the leading bankers of the city were yesterday questioned by a Journal reporter relative to the rate of interest charged upon loans made to responsible parties. They were also asked whether tfiere was sufheientmoney locally to supply the demand, and if not, what they thought of the establishment of a bank with a capital stock sufficient to meet the requirements of the business men who complain of having their enterprises restricted by inability to borrow money upon good collateral. Theodore P. Haughey, president of tho Indianapolis National Bank, said: "Tho low rates ot interest prevailing in other cities are for call loans, that is, upon securities that can bo thrown upon tho market at any moment and realized upon; but we have no such loans here, and the business men havo no securities of that kind to offer. Iu Chicago and New York from time to timo it is impossible to negotiate a loan at a lower rate of interest than 6 or 7 per cent., and I can say that any person here offering good paper can get it discounted at a reasonable rate of interest. I have no objection, as far as I am concerned, personally, to tho establishment of another bank, though we have all tho capital at present that is necessary. Formerly tho local banks paid heavy interest to depositors and charged nothing iu returu for collections, and that is why they failed. We do not charge more for making collections than they do in other cities. If we send out a collection to a country bank it charges us for making that collection and therefore thero is no reason why we should not make a charge." "The class of paper," said Voiney T. Malott president of the Indiana National Bank, "that is made in most Western cities that are not large commercial centers is largely what is known as accommodation paper and not what would be known as call loans such as banks in New York, Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Lonis and other large cities would take. These call loans are secured by collaterals that havo & market value and can be sold at any time, and are liable to be called at any time at the banker's option. Therefore a banker can loan his deposits much closer than we can. We loan on sixty or ninety days and are often compelled to renew to suit the convenience of the borrower. Therefore we have to carry a much larger percentage of our deposits on hand than We would if our loans were more completely within our control. There aro in every community, persons who complain of want of sufficient banking facilities, whose paper would not be taken in any bank at any rate. The reasons why charges are made upon checks deposited aro that many of the conntry banks charge a collection fee, and that a largo amount of capital is required to carry these checks while they are in transit, for which a banker receives no interest. The present basis of charges is not more than sufficient to cover the expenses and interest upon the money required. Thero was a time when the work was done in the city of Indianapolis at t loss, and the results are familiar to all in thofailnres that occurred and the banks liquidated because there was no profit in the business. The supply of money in the local banks already exceeds the demand, and we are compelled at present to loan a great deal of -money abroad. Tho methods upon which the Indianapolis banks, are today conducting their business are .receiving the commendation of good bankers throughout tho country, and they haye a very high credit and standing among the banks and business men of the country. "They talk about the local rate of interest, which is 0 or 8 ner cent," said John W. Ray, of the Bank or Commerce. "We have nover charged over 8 per cent, interest to anybody, and we have loaned money as low as 6 per cent,, but the rato charged all depends upon the. character of the borrower, whether we charge a high or low rate, and according to the quantity of money which he wishes to borrow. 1 here is money loaned to business men at 6 per cent, interest to-day, I know we have money out at that rate. If a bank was instituted here with a capital stock of $1,000,000 it would not pay 5 per cent, in my judgment. A large capital is not always best, for a bank with a capital of three to four hundred thousand dollars is much more efficient. If such a bank were started, however, there are fifty customers at least 1 would be willing to turn over to it." "As regards the high rates of interest the banks ox Indianapolis charge," said John P. Frenzel. president of tho Merchants' National, "they are no greater for the kinds of paper offered than in Chicago, St. Louis, Louisville or Cincinnati. The rates in this city are 6 and 7 per cent." "How is it then," queried tho reporter, "that local merchants can obtain loans at a lower rate of interest in those cities than in Indianapolis!" "The merchant that borrows here," was the reply, "does not offer the same kind of aper to his banker that he does in the ast. It is more of an accommodation paper. which ho would expect his local banker to extend if necessary, while the paper off ered in Eastern markets would have to be met or serious discredit result therefrom. A banker can loan larger amounts upon commercial paper, a collateral which is easily realized upon, than upon accommodation paper, because he is aware, as to the first, that he can count upon its payment almost absolutely to meet necessary engagements, while the payment of accommodation paper depends largely upon the success of the borrower's calculations, as to his ability to meet tho payment. Indianapolis banks do not pretend to compete with the banks of New York, Boston or Philadelphia in the matter of rates of interest for paper. There are times when theso money lenders have large accumulations awaiting the periodical demands of the general country, aud at such times they are glad to get anjrwhere from 3 to 5 per cent., out when business becomes active it is a fact that the rates of these money-lenders very soon reach a point as high as is paid here. Ouly two weeks ago the rates in New York before a large disbursement took place on account of the purchase of $23,000,000 worth of bonds by the government went up as high as 10 and 12 per cent., and this condition repeats itself almost yearly during certain seasons. "What have you to say in regard to tho cleariug-houso .collections on checks deposited!" "Under tho rules of tho clearing-house charges are made by the banks on country checks. These are ' mostly for small amounts and the charges would average about 20 cents. At the end of the year n the bankers will figure up tho amount of the charges they have collected on account of these checks and what it has cost them to collect them they will find that it is comparatively smalL" "I have no doubt the city would be benefited " said John C. Wright, "by additional banking facilities, and I think there is a good opening here for two new banks of &00.000 to $500,000 capital each. I believe two new banks of that kind could step iuto a good business at once. Mind you, I have nothing to say against our f resent bank management. I simply say ndianapolis needs more banks." "Would you take stock in such an enterprise yourself!" "Why should If I can do all the banking business 1 want to as it is, without any of the annoyances or risks incident to a corporation business. .But. I say, if anybody wants to engage in tho banking business this is a good point." Amusement Mote a. "The Little Coquette" continues to attract large audiences'to the Park Theater. Billy Birch and Cool Burgess are with Cal Wagner's Minstrel Company, which will be seen at English's next week. George Ober and a strong company will open tho season at English's Opera-house to-night, presenting for the first time in this city Adelaide Cher's popular drama. "Old Homespun." It is an interesting illustration of New England life, which has been well received in many of the leading thtatcrs of the country. The play is ot

the same class as Denruan Thompsons "Old Homestead," and competent critics have spoken of it as a production of decided merit. Mr. Ober plays tho leading character in an admirable manner, and his support is 6aid to bo first-class. SOUTH AMERICAN VISITORS.

The Eoard of Trade Committee Considering Plans for Their Entertainment. A committee oppointed by the Board of Trade, consisting of G. G. Tanner, chairman; E. B. Martindale, S. T. Bowen, D. A. Richardson, E. C. Atkins, A. II. Nordyke, W. F. Piel, jr., Hugh Hanna, E. Miller and Franklin Landers, is to meet the delegates from South America, who will rass through the city Nov. 2. after taking part in the international congress. It has not been decided what form tho en-, tertainment of the visitors shall take,- but it is proposed that a banquet would be the proper thing if tho stay of the delegates will admit of this method of disseminating ideas and "cultivating friendship. Care, however, will bo taken to havo the visitors see all there is to be seen in the city. As many of tho local manufacturers aro largely interested in Southern trade, tho welcome accorded to tho visitors will doubtless be a hearty one. Taking into consideration the purposes of their visit to the international congress, which embraces the extension of business relations between American countries, it is urged that all citizens should aid in making tho visit all it should be. The committee named above wishes to induce outside merchants to visit the city at the same time. Cattle for KxporU ' J. C. Clay, of North Salem, shipped to the stock-yards yesterday sixteen car-loads of short horns. They were bought by R. R. Shiel for export, and will be sent to Glasgow.
