THE GEORGIA BANK BILL.
We printed yesterday an extract
from the Nation, a periodical ot
great respectability, which criticised
the bank bill drawn by a joint com
mittee es the Georgia legislature.
That statement of the plan was cor
rect as far as it went, but upon ex
amination of the bill itself, a cop.!
of which has just been received, we
find several excellent provisions
which are not reported in the Na
tion’s epitome, and are calculated to
meet some of its gravest objections
That journal thought that where
half the capital was in a coin reserve
and half in bonds, the issuance ot
bills to the amount of three times the
coin reserve would only be two thirds
secured at any time, and might not
be more than one-third secured ii
the coin reserve were impaired. This
reserve is protected by sections 6
22 and 24. The sixth section re
quires the fixedness of the reserve,
the twenty-second section makes its
violation a felony, and the twenty
fourth section requires the cashier
to furnish the Governor with a good
and valid bond equal to the amount
of the coin reserve. Thus the bills
are secured by five distinct sate
guards, to-wit:
A coin reserve, equal to one-third.
State, county or city bonds, equal
to one third. i
cashier’s bond, equal to
The oo®(hi«bility of stockhold
ers, more than eoual the amount ot
the bills.
The first lien upon the assets ol
the bank.
This seems abundant security,
and the fact that part of it is in th*
shape of coin, equal to half the value
of outstanding bills, will make them
more immediately convertible than
a security consisting wholly oi
bonds.
The other criticism of the Nation
is that the Georgia plan lacks elas
ticity. That is to say, a currency
so issued would not be of elastic
volume. We are inclined to think
it would be more elastic than that
of the National banks. Their bills,
being wholly secured by bonds and
by the guaranty of the United States
government, are seldom or never
presented for redemption. The bills
issued by this plan would have
enough of the moral risk in their
composition to bling them home to
roost whenever a redundancy of the
currency came about. On the con
trary, they would be issued in great
quantity when currency became
scarce. Precisely this quality was
developed-in the clearing Louse cer
tificates last summer. They were
good enough for anybody during
the panic, but they disappeared
when it was over. The interest of
the bill holder and the stockholder
both tend to withdraw the bills from
circulation when money becomes
plentiful, and the same interests
force bills out when money is scarce
There is no denying the proposition
that some moral risk is necessary
to elasticity.
The classes to which we have re
ferred give the bill a different as
pect entirely, and so shaped, we
think it will grow in favor as it is
studied.
Prof. Garner, who is to sail for
America in a few days, is quite dis
consolate over the death of Elishaba,
the most intelligent chimpanzee ever
found. Garner made the acquaint,
ance of Elishaba and her husband.
Aaron, in Africa, and induced them
to come north with him. The death
of the poor creature in Liverpool, on
Thursday, was quite pathetic. She
died in the arms of poor Aaron, who
had been assiduous in his attentions
during her whole illness. Prof.
Garner was present during her last
moments, and when he put his hand
to her heart to see if it had ceased
to beat, Aaron put his hand there
too, looking in the Professor’s eyes
and inquiring if that was all he
could do. Aaron would not permit
his dead companion to be taken from
him. The sadness in Aaron’s conn
tenance could not have been more
clearly portrayed on the face of a
human being. His grief was incon
so'able. When the Professor visited
his protege, Aaron was not content
until he had put his hand in that
of the Professor, and by signs and
sounds was telling him his distress.
The Oklahoma Statehood Conven
tion assembled in Kingfisher will ap
peal to Congress, at the opening of
the session, for the admission of the
Territory into the Union, as a State.
The Governor of the Territory fur
nished the Convention with statis
tics to justify the claim tor State
hood. He estimates the population
of the Territory, including the Cher
okee, at 251.000, and he sustains
this estimate in away which is not
wholly unsatisfactory. The value
of the taxable property of the Ter
ritory is given as $15,000,000, and
the Territorial Government is free
from debt. There are several hun
dred churches in the Territory;
there are thirty banks; there are
public schools, and there have been
2,372,000 acres of farming land
taken up. The various kinds of
grain grow there and the ordinary
kinds of fruit; cotton also can be
grown. “Oklahoma,” says Gov.
Renfrow, “possesses vast re°ouices,
and, with its genuine American in
habitants, it will make a State equal
to any other in the Union.”
Persons who have not kept pace
with modern researches in patholo
gy and medical science may have
with reading the report
to the Department of
HrarTb/the other day about the
contagiousness of that destructive
disease, consumption, says the
New York Sun. The conclusions
reached by Dr. Biggs have been
widely accepted, within recent
years, by the medical faculty;
and it is proper that the community
should be made aware that ’'every
person suffering from pulmonary
tuberculosis may be a source of ac
tual danger.” It is only through
the spread of the knowledge of this
impressive fact that people are like
ly to take precautions against the
dangerous contagion.
Financial affairs in London are
much improved this week, says the
correspondent of the New York Sun.
The business house about which
there was great anxiety several days
ago is in a safe condition, and the
rumors which disturbed the city are
subsiding. The foolish talk about
the Bank of England has also ended.
The governors of the great institu
tion suffered a shock to their dignity
and self-respect from which they
will not recover for years. All the
blame is laid upon Cashier May, and
his indiscretions, to use no stronger
word, will never be forgiven.
Scarcely a day passes without its be
iug. necessary to deny a report of
his arrest or suicide.
Lord Salsbury, in speaking of the
question of increasing the English
navy, not long, made this impres
sive remark:
“All nations in these days are
armed with such tremendous power
of doing mischief to each other that
for each nation, it must be the
heartiest prayer that all its neigh
bors be well goier iea and well guid
ed. In tpeaking of this matter I
wish to avoid language that might
seem to imply the slightest suspi
cion of any nation.”
Speaking of Tennyson’s reserve a
writer in McClure’s Magazine for
December says: “The man who was
at most pains to keep hidden from
observation is better known to us.
in his personality and his mode of
life than almost any ether of his
time. The. professed reporters were

rigorously, nay, roughly beaten off;
the official biographer has not yet
borne bis voluminous pack to our
doors; and, nevertheless, we already
know, down to the last button bow
Tennyson dressed ; down to the last
wink Low he slept and
ate; down to the last accent how he
read and talked.”

“All Men are Liars.”
Once said a wise man of the East, but we are
convinced this man had never read one of
W. M, Gammon & Co.s’ advertisements and
then examined their stock of Fine Clothing
Hats and Furnishing Goods. They make
it a point to always tell the truth in regard
to quality, style and price. They desire to
call the attention of the people of this sec
tion to the fact that they carry the best and
most perfect-fitting suits and overcoats
known to the trade.
The finest and most stylish Hats made
on this continent, and the newest and nob
biest things in Neckwear, Underwear or any
other wear that can be used by man, boy or
child. They not only do this, but they make
the prices as low, or lower than any other
house dares to name. We propose to d
the clothing business in Rome. We carrj
the stock to please the people and say to
every one, visit our store, and if first-class
goods, low prices and honest dealing will
make you a customer, you are ‘ourn.’'
