Mobrill, Local Forecast Official. 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.
