Russia is very prudently holding on to her cereals against that cdd day that is bound to come in the bleak land of the polar bear. Dispatches from Chicago state that “Lady Somerset talks.” All women do that. Pro hibition women always do a great (leal of it. That’s about all they do. Boies is still * ‘one of the boys” aud a pretty lively one at that. By this time Editor Clarkson is probably willing to slightly modify his last prediction. Fassett is su >wed uuJer anil his irate uncle is avenged. So much for neglecting to “talk over family patters'’ with a rural relative when a good opportunity is of fered. Philadelphia democratic papers charge the grossest sort of republican frauds in colonizing alleged voters from Washington, Baltimore and Wilmington to act as “repeat ers.” But they should have taken the proper precautions to prevent that. Complaints come rather late now. At the time of reg istration was the proper time to put a stop to that sort of work. I Washington correspondents state that in the eager quest for information as to who “peached on him.” in the matter of the Bardsiey check Senator Quay has literally made a demand upon the United States controller of tho currency to pursue the sub ject in his interest and furnish him evi dence for the purposes of prosecuting his individual interests. Just what rig it Sena tor Quay has to use officials of the United States treasury for the purpose of collect ing evidence for his individual use would be really interesting to know. Another bank wrecked and the former officers are under arrest for robbing the depositors. That is what the alleged failure erf the great Maverick bank in Boston really amounts to. Coming close upon tho looting of big banks in New York, Phila delphia, Cuicago an and other large centers of traffic and putative civilization and Chris tian enlightenment it completely eclipses (he most ambitious efforts of the most reckless of border bandits. Beside st the petty depredations of Rube Bur rows and other feeble and lonely outlaws appear in the light of mero childish playful ness. Something should badono to preveut the eminent financiers of our great com mercial marts from living so recklessly and letting such a demoralizing example to the rude and untutored desperadoes of the frou tier. Too muoh of politics seams to be some what demoralizing the country. At all events that is the apparent result in many Instances. Prevalent political corruption seams to be disseminating an immoral infusion that sometimes produces disastrous results. Under pretext of consulting Cashier Freese about Nebraska politics two men at Homer forced him, under penalty of instant death, to open tbe vaults of the Homer bank so that they might get the $1,600 of cash therein. They then bound and left the cashier while they pursued their way presumably rejoicing. Observing so many political corruptionists embezzling, taking bribes, robbing public treasuries and looting banks, those needy rascals probably thought to take a nearer cut to the cash without wading through the quagmire of modern politics. Nevertheless the people of the state of Nebraska should not forget that tbe forms of law still prescribe that such offenders should be apprehended and pun ished as much as their political influence ♦ill permit. Boston’s Wrecked Bank. The disaster which has overtaken the Maverick Nst.onal Bank of Boston, a full accoui.t of which has appeared In our dis patches, emphasizes in the strongest man ner the necessity for attending the laws controlling both national and state banks so that it will not be in the poser of the presi dent and one or two directors of any bank to manage its affairs to suit themselves. The directors of a bank should not be mere dummies. They ought to be thor oughly acquainted with its affairs and should take an active interest in its management. It is the purpose of the banking laws that they shall give careful attention to the du- ties they undertake to perform, but they do not comply with the laws in this respect and there doesn't seem to be any way to make them do so. The laws should provide severe a dozm or more national banks which bare penalties for their failure to discharge their duties. It would be easy to name been wrecked within the last year or two by bank presidents who were permitted to conduct the banks entrusted to their keep ing without assistance from the directors. The Second National Bank of New York was nearly wreoked by its president, who was forced to go to Canada and remain there. The Marine Bank of New York was wrecked by its president, and the Keystone National Bauk and the Spring Garden National Bank of Philadelphia were robbed aud wrecked by some of their officials. The list is a long one, but the foregoing are suffi cient to show that it is extremely daugerous to intrust a bank to one or two men. Asa Potter was the president of the wrecked Maverick bank of Boston, and he and one or two directors loaned the bank’s money to their close frteuds or borrowed it themselvai. Preailent Potter owes the bauk several hundred thousand dollars, and two of the directors have borrowed from the bank more than they can pay. The president and these directors disregarded the national banking laws, which limit the amount any bank shall loan to one person. They obtained pretty nearly ail the avail able money in the bank, and it is asserted that President Potter was a partner of Broker Evans, who oommitted suicide a few days ago, and that he and Evans lost a vast sum of the bank’s money during the year prior to the closing of the bank’s doors. If the reports are true they lost the money la Wall street speculations. The bank’s treasury was open to them and they obtained what money they wanted without any protest from the board of direotors. Indeed, the board knew nothing of what tney were doing. If the board bad done its duty the Maverick Notional Bank would now be a solvent financial institution in all probability. The controller of the currency seems to be altogether too slow a man for the position he occupies. I-aat January he was notified that the Maverick National Bank wns in trouble, aud agaiu in September his atten tion was drawn to the matter. Had he acted promptly on the first information he received of the bank's insolvent condition the depositors would have lost nothing probably, and enough might have been saved to pay the shareholders something. The sane tardiness markoi his conduct In connection with the Keystone National Bank. President Pottef and those who assisted him in wrecking the bank ought to be shown no mercy whatever. It they are found to bo guilty they should receive the severest punishment for which the law provides in cases like theirs. Tney should be made examples of so that officers of other banks would hesitate to use other people’s money as if it were their own. The deposits of the Maverick bank amounted to between $7,000,000 and $8,000,- 000, and there would have been widespread suffering in Boston if the associated banks had not agreod to pay the Maverick’s de positors 70 per cent of their claims at once. There is altogether too much leniency shown bank officials who prove recreant to their trusts. They should be punished for their misdeeds to the full extent of the law, and bank directors should be made liable to punishment also for neglect of duty. The Later Returns. The later returns give larger pluralities for Mr. Flower in New York, Gov. Russell in Massachusetts, and Maj. McKinley in Ohio! The returns are being collected very slowly in lowa, but there is no doubt that Gov. Boies is reflected by a plurality ot at least 8,000. He has made gains In many counties over the vote cast for him la the preceding gubernatorial election, and in only a few counties has tie loet ground. Iu New York Mr. Flowers plurality is in creasing as the returns from the interior counties are received, and it seems safe to say that it will be more than 40,000. He has won a splendid victory, and there is no doubt that in the presidential election next year New York will be In the democratic ooSumn. The republican plurality in Ohio is con siderably larger than it was thought it would be at a late hour Tuesday night. It may be more than 18,000. The first estimates of Gov. Russell's plu rality were too small. It will not be as great as that which he secured last year, but it will not fall much below it. Tho elections this year were decidedly favorable to the Democratic party—so fa vorable, in fact, that they justify the con clusion that the next President will boa democrat. Apparently Texans do not submit to being robbed with any great degree of Christ! au forbearauoe if we are to judge from the in stance of a Dallas gentleman whom a burly road agent tried to hold up as he drove through a suburban avenue of that city at night in company with a lady. When the bold marauder jumped into the buggy he clutched the lady’s throat with o\e hand while be covered the gentlemm with a big revolver and ordered him to stop. But be fore he could explain what lie wanted him to stop for the gentleman grabbed the bandit’s pistol and told the lady to whip up the horse, which she did with so much energy that the bandit was jsrked out of the buggy aud left his pistol behind. In falling his foot caught in the wheel and he was dragged somedistance while the gentle man used tbe highwayman's revolver to shoot at him as he was thus tobogganed along. Making a living in the bandit business down in Texts seems to be almost as dangerous as monkeying with a morose bu zz-saw. Like her obtrusively aspiring husband Mine. Constans is said to be so officious as to bavo given offense to lime. Carnot and destroyed her standing in 'the executive mansion of France. Now for a lively "scrap” between Sher mui and Foraker iu the course of which Foster is likely to grab the bone of conten tion and scoot. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1891, Will the President Accept? The people of this city will be very much disappointed if the President does not ac cept the invitation to visit this city this win ter, in the interest of the Savannah ha: bor improvement, which will be ax.ended to him Friday by the committee which leaves this morning for Washington. If he ac cepts the invitation Savannah will give him a sincere aud hearty welcome, and will make his visit a pleasant one. He declined to visit the Augusta exposi tion because the meeting of congress is close at hand, and there are many things which now demand his presence at Washington. His message is not yet finished and our rela tions with Chile are strained. There are other things also which make it difficult for him to leave the national capital at this time. During the holiday reoess, however, or im mediately thereafter, he may find it con venient to visit Savannah. At that season of the year a very fair idea of the immen sity of Savannah’s commerce may be ob tained. Tne wharves will be lined with ■hipping from all parti of the world and crowded with cotton, naval stores and lum ber. The hotels will be filled with winter visitors, aud the stores, with their stonka of holiday goods, will present a very at tractive appearance. Savannah will be at her best then and cannot fail to impress the President favorably. The deep water movement is daily grow ing in importance. It is being talked about in many states, and everywhere the talk is favorable. By the time congress convenes congressmen will have heard more about it than any other matter except questions of a national character. If the President could be induced to take the position in his message that it would be a good policy to make appropriations sufficient tocomplote improvements already begun in harbors which accommodate a great commerce he would greatly help the movement for deepening Savannah harbor. It is not improbable that he will suggest a policy of that kind. A number of the leading republican senators favor it. They believe it would effect an immense saving to the government and at the same time would greatly promote commerce. Tho Third Party in Ohio. The Hon. Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, an nounced many times during the progress of the campaign in Ohio that the third party did not expeot to poll a very large vote for its gubernatorial candidate, but that it did expect to prevent the election of John Sherman to the United States Senate. The understanding seemed to be that alllance men and third party men would vote for the democratic candidates for the legislat ure so as to make sure of a democratic legislature. It looks as if the Hon. Jerry Simpson was not well informed with respect to the inten tions of alliancemen or of tbe members of the third party. Indeed, the third party does not appear to have cut much of a figure in the election. There were a good many Ohio delegates at the Cincinnati convention at which the People’s party was organised, but they did not apparently represent a very large constituency. The republicans have the legislature In Ohio by a good working majority, and it is highly probable that they will return John Sherman to the Senate. Ex-Gov. Koraker is a candidate for senator, but he is so mixed up with that ballot-box affair that his chances for success are not good. And besides, Senator Sherman is a much more desirable man for senator, even from a dem ocratic standpoint, than ex-Gov. Poraker. It would have been gratifying indeed if the alliance had helped to elect a democrat ic legislature. Abo; her democratic sonator from Ohio would be very acceptable. It looks, however, as if those alliancemen who were republicans voted the straight repub lican ticket. They are not so much opposed to Senator Sherinau as Hon. Jerry Simp son tried to make the country believe they were. It may be that Mr. Simpson is not in the confidence of the Ohio alliancemen. Nothing more horrible has occurred In many a day than the conflagration which des royed a Pennsylvania almshouse at Hollidaysburg. Idiots and demented pa tients became raving maniacs, and not only destroyed themselves hut dragged the offl cials of the institution into the flames. Several were dangei ously injured. Many inmates were wholly lost. To add to the scene of horror a dis patch says that “vandals gath ered arouud the ruins like vultures over a carcass and stole whatever they could lay hands upon. Wine casks were taken from the cellar and the mob drank tho contents and soon became as intoxicated from drink as the paupers had been by fright.” Yet this is said to be an age of enlightenment and Christian civilization. Undoubtedly the people of Pennsylvania would reseut with indignation any intimation that they were not es progressive as tho rest of man kind. Btill that sceno indicates the pres ence of an element unrestrained even by law that Is certainly no credit to the state. Indeed it would disgrace an age of actual barbarism. When the memorial service at Chicago for Leonard Dane Washburne, Frederiok W. Henry and Frank Hunter McOafferty, tbe vouDg newspaper men killed in the rail way wreck at Crete was held Sunday last at Grace Kplsoopal church a great crowd or friend* of tho deceased, and many whose only acquaintance with them had been made through the story of their awful death at tended. In the oourse of his sermon the eminent Dr. Locke spoke with deep elo quence of the taking off of the young men and impressed upon the friends the beauty of the hope beyond the grave. Then Luther Lad in Mill 9 delivered the eulogy. It is described os one of the eminent lawyer’s noblest efforts. Throughout the addrees he paid a glowing tribute to the humanity of journalism. That was about all that re mained to be done fer the poor fellows who took their lives In their hands with as much courage as any soldier ever exhibited in battle. Few men ever receive at the hands of their fellow citizens such a magnificent tribute of confidence and esteem as the Chileans have bestowed on Admiral Jorgs Montt in proffering to him unanimously the high office of president of their repub lic. No unworthy man could have received such a tribute, and it is one that any living mortal might well be proud of. Hustler Carter Harrison has finally got his paper and will now pro ceed to edit at some of the people who have so long been having fun with him. With full control of the Chicago limes he is “out of pocket”about $250,000. But he may yet manage to build up a foot ing in the “People’s party” if he treats Jerry Biuipsou right. PERSONAL. Coi.

Dr. Mayo, who was one of a group of officers about the captaiu, spoke up and said: “Oh. that's the Josiah Quincy of Boston.” The captain turned, looked at tue doctor In an astonished sort of way. and theu proceeded once more to gaze through his spy-glass, while tho others went below to the wardroom. ”1 say. doctor." said a senior lieutenant, "you’ll find It’s a mistake to guy our com mander. He has no more notion of humor than a blllygoat, and he doesn’t approve of jokes." Dr. Mayo only smiled, but he felt a little nervous about it himself, for. of course, ho no more knew the name of the vessel sighted than he did that of the man in the moon. An hour later tho stiauzer was approached almost within hailing distance Sho was baric - rigged and evidently loaded heavily with some kind of merchandise. But as tne C/ane passed her she went off on a fresh tack, and the cap tain could read her name through his glass on her stern. It was “josiah Quincy of Bos ton.” “H—l and blazes!" exolaimed the astonished commander. Then turning to the doctor, he said: "How on earth could you know ?” "Merely by the cut of her jib, sir," replied Dr. Mayo calmly, and he didn’t even admit in the wardroom that his guess had been merely tbe first name that came into t U mind. Since that time he lias firmly believed that nothing is too strange to be referred to as a coincidence. This Doctor May Mov •. Westchester village has just had an Asiatic cholera scare. What was said to be a genuine case of the dread disease was reported to tho New York health authorities by a young doc tor, says the New York Wot id, who only recently came from college and located here. The young doctor was summoned in great haste to attend Arthur, the 10-year-old son of Michael Probst, a master carpenter. He found tbe boy in great agony and complaining of sharp pains in the stomacb. The doctor felt his pulse, examined his tongue and then looked very wise, as doctors can, but said nothing. "Well?” said the boy’s father, preparing to bear the worst. “Well," echoed the youthful disciple of ACsculapius. looking very grave, "your son has the Asiatic cholera." Then lie left tho bouse and reported his im portant discovery to the health authorities. Half an hour later a yellow flag was lacked on ITobst's house to warn people of the danger that lurked there. The board of health then sent Dr. Reis to visit young Probst The doctor is grav-naired and a man of large experience. After he looked at the patient’s toi gue, which was of a dark bine color, he asked: "Wuat have you been eating?" “Nothing," was the feeble response. “ Wbat, you ra cal! You deny that you have been eating grapes?” thundered the old doctor. No, he didn't deny it. Arthur is a truthful boy, but nobody had asked him before whether he had eaten grapes. He had, and a very large share of a ten-pound basket of the fruit. The yellow flag came down in a hurry and the young doctor Is thinking of taking up practice elsewhere. Love is Enou rh. M. C.

Some time ago the Pittsburg Post called Atten tion to the lengthy title of a short railroad in that section—the Crtsson, Clearfield County and New York Short Route railroad. This is a very lengthy name, and presumably in sizo ea ily led all competitors. A western short line has been incorporat ’d, however, that lays it out It boasts a title nearly as long as its respective line, viz., the Hudson, St. Vraiu, Erie, Mitchell l.alayette. Louisville. Marshall, Denver and 1 acitic railway, this is undoubtedly the most lengthy specimen of railroad nomenclature in America. With regard to the statements that have ap peared in the American press to the effect that M, de Blowitz had been replaced as the Ti i es Paris correspondent by Mr. Fullerton, an Amer ican, the American press is requested and au thorized by the Times to state that "there has not and never has been the remotest question of interfering with M. de Blowitz as tbe T.mes correspondent in Paris. Such an idea has never entered into the minds of any one in the times office, and there has never been either word or lett w exchanged between tbe author ities of Printing House square and M. de Blo witz having tbe most remote connection with the possibility of such an event.” Said Squire James of the probate court to the Cincinnati Enquirer, speaking of the late Juuius Brutus Booth, of which illu trious tragedian the squire wat an intimate friend: “1 once heard Bootn speak tbe Lord's prayer in the Masonic lodge room in New York, and the effect I have not forgotten yet. There were about 300 members in tbe hall, and, as the pa thetic yet simple words rolled out, the effect of the melodious voice of the great tragedian, to get er with the marvelous intonation and noble pathos given to the sublime prayer, made itself felt upon all, and when the ‘Amen’ was spoken strong men wept. I have never heard the Lord’s prayerjjince then. 1 have heard perhaps fifty ministers speak the words, but not like Bootu spoke them.” “WhenMr. Stanloy retlredfrom his position as governor of the Free State,” writes the Lon don correspondent of the Manchester lluardtun. "King Leopold was anxious to retain some hold on him. He therefore pronosed to Mr. Stanley a i arrangement by which he should retain the •fit st call’ on bis services in Africa, the consid eration being a retaining fee of £I,OOO per annum. The existence of suon an arrangement is expressly stated by Mr. Stanley himself in his account of the rescue of Emin Pasha. This arrangement between tit * king and Mr. Stanley was, however, fora limited period, and the limit is on the point of expiring. It is this circum stance which has given rise to the rumors as suciatinz Mr. Stanley’s name w ith the governor ship of the Free State. Asa matter of fact. King Leopold would. I am assured, gladly see Mr. Stanl y back on the Congo. But Mr Sian ley has other designs. He starts in about three weeks for Australia on a lecturing tour." A woman so tall that a six-footer could pass under her arm when held out straight from the shoulder, says the Kansas City Times, attracted much attention at the Union depot yesterday. .She was Ne lie Wilson, the daughter of a ranchman and farmer living near Texarkana, Ark. Her exact highi is 8 feet inches. When she ali.hted from a Mi-souri Pacific train the other morning at the depot she was instantly the center of attraction. Sho was on her way to Albia. la., and when she found sho would have to wait until 4:30 o’clock in the afternoon for a train, she beat a hasty retreat acoss Union avenue and secured a room. She asked the depot master on I the landlord to ke p reporters away at all hazards, as she did not like newspaper notoriety. She remained in th • room until it was almost time for her train to leave, and when sho e app.-ared on the street a cr wd of several hun dred gathered and followed her across to the depot. The woman comes from a ta.ll family and has two cousins now traveling with a circus who are tailer than she. In a recent Mexican letter Frank G. Carpen ter sa:: "Young girls are called pollitas or little chickens, and old girls are familiarly called polias or grown cbiokens. It is needless to say (hat the Mexican dude as a rule prefers the pollitas. The men have thoir nicknames as wells as the girls, and they are known as eallos or gallinos, and this, strange to say. Is a Mexi can expression meaning young or old roosters. This, b iwevcr. is not so much different from our own custom, /or do we not contemptuously apply the name "old rooster ’ to the men we think but little of, and is not one of our most endearing ierms for girls that of thed ;ek? The senorita matures much earlier than her Ameri can sister. She is as old at 13 as our girls are at IN, and the law provides ttiat she may be married at 14. At £5 s e begins to verge on old-maidenhood, and at 3) she is passe. Mexi can women age very rapidly, wives ace old and fat at 30, and I see but few women with gray hair. Mexican marriages are often arrang and by the parents, and a Mexican courtship is hollow mockery as far as the young mau is concerned. Mrs. Lanotry’s private car is in New York undergoin; repairs.
