Keep Money in Business.
The St. Louis Republican offers the
’ following sensible and timely sugges-
tions as to the best use to which the
possessors of money can put their funds
in times like the present. It truly says
' a safe deposit company can stand a run.
A bank cannot, if a run means the with-
drawal of the great bulk of' deposits.
When a community transfers its money
from a bank to a safe deposit vault it
gains Somethiug‘in control of cash and
losesa great deal more in stagnation of
business. Under our present system
banks are the instruments With which
capital is used .in trade and industry.
Nine out of ten are perfectly safe, and
yet nine out of ten can be closed by a
prolonged run. A sensible town will
help the banks in lending money to
business. ‘ A foolish town will make
lending impossible.‘ ‘There are a few
foolish towns that have hurt themselves
by crowding the banks needlessly.
' Poor Siam.
Says an old musical refrain : “Then
up spake the'King of Siam.” France
has put on her war paint, the lillies
glisten in the July sun, the oriflamme
is doing something or other, and French
enthusiasm sizzles at 1009 centigrade.
Siam must speak and speak quickly,
'through her King, says the Post, or
Johnny Crapaud will unbridle his in-
flammation and turn it loose entirely.
Afi‘ronted by some obscure and rather
indefinite occurrence, France has de-
manded at the hands of Siam an in—
demnity of nearly $1,000,000, a large
slice of territory, several forts, river
banks, and special revenues, and vari-
ous other things too numerous to sche-
dule- The nineties is dramatic. , the
. crisis is. imminent. 'thhing' immedi-
ate can be expected of England, for,
. although that colossal anaconda is no-
toriously disposed. to protect rich and
feeble countries from s poliation by
others, in order that she may subse-
quently loot them herself, the time al-
lowance in this case is so small'that
France may have lubricated and swal-
' lowed the quarry before England can
reach the scene. _ .
Siam must —prorate or surrender.
France extends her broad and itching
palm, and some one must salve it or she
runs amuck.

Ex-Senator Edmunds’ Views.
' Ex—President Harrison-and'Hon. John
Sherman have both commented public-
ly upon the existing emergency. Both
have expressed the opinion that the
silver-purchase act should be repealed.
but both have denied that the financial
distress is wholly due to the dollar re-
sulting from that. act. Neither Mr.
Harrison nor Mr. Sherman hasesc‘aped
disparaging criticism on accpunt of his
suggestion that causes other than silver
coinage are at the bottom of our trou-
bles. Every newspaper exponent of the
higher statesmanship has belittled and
reviled them.
Now comes Hon. Geo. F. Edmunds,
who, replying to an inquiry as to the
circumstances under which the silver
coinage law of 1890 was enacted, says:
.“ With some considerable study of
and experience in the course of popular
government, I had the belief (and I
have it still) that the next election would
produce a majority in Congress (and not
unlikely a President. as well) with two-
thirds of its members in favdr of the
vetoed measure and also in favor of the
issue of a paper currency limited only
to the ever-increasing (in such cases)
“wants” of those who need money to
expend—a policy and a practice, I hope
I need not say to you, bot! seductive
and destructive, always, to that portion
of the people who are- least able to bear
disaster. I have sometimes thought it
might have been better in the long run
to let the cyclone come then, but I now
think with anything like sensible action
we may avert the greater calamities of
the other course to which I have allud-
ed. I think I have answered your
questions fully. But I beg you to'un-
dcrstand that do not think our present
distress is due alone to the silver legis- ,
lation referred to—far from it.”
We shall now see, remarks the wash-
ington .Post, what the orators and or-
gans will say to Mr. Edmunds. He is
not likely to be disturbed by their as-
persions of his intelligence or. their de-
nunciation of'his motives, but it will
'be interestingto note the fashion in
which they will meet this new and for-
midable witness against their newly-
found but passionately cherished theo-
ry. Six iémonths ago they would hear
no proposition that did not make the
McKinley tarifi'rthe author of all our
thewretch who dares to' hint that the
tariff has anything to do with them.
We‘await their criticism of Mr. Ed! ,
munds with almost unbearable anxiety.

Struck by the Cars.
Christian Berg, ' of New Haven, 85
yedrs of age and demented, was struck
by the east-bound train at Branford
Wednesday afternoon and fatally in-
jured. He was sitting on the tracks on
the trellis bridge near Bradford and
the 2:30 train from that town to New
Haven knocked him off the bridge. The
cylinder of the engine struck him With
terriffic force. The town authOrites of
Branford took him in charge and sent
him to New Haven where he died short-
ly before nine o’clock.

V 00 Slow.
Supt. Shepherd of the Consolidated
read, has issued an order to the effect
that hereafter no engineers are to run
their trains over the draw bridges at a
rate of speed faster than fifteen miles
an hour. Notice was also sent to all
bridge tenders to report any violation
of this order. From this, it will be
seen, the officials of the road have de-
cided to take less risk as far as the draw
bridge are concerned, at least as far.as
the New York division is concerned.
Whether this applies to the other divi-
sions could not be learned. -
Q0.
Aftermath. .
The committee in charge of the
Christian Endeavor convention at
Montreal finds itself in an unpleasant
position because it made contracts with
nearly all the boarding house keepers
in the city to provide accommodation
for delegates during the convention.
The boarding house people made their
arrangements, but many of them got
no boarders and now they want the
committee to pay, them about $17,000
by way of damages. The committee,
havrng paid other charges has now $200
on hand, and propose to pay it to law-
yers rather than the claimants. The
cost of the convention- was over $100,-
000.
Main’s Circus.
The big circus of the season for Bel-
videre has undoubtedly come and gone.
Main’s great railroad show was here
last Friday and was liberall 'patron-
ized. It was a good show. u the first
place, the managers were gentlemanly
busmess men, courteous and obliging.
Secondly, the show was a mammoth
affair, carrying a very good menagerie,
and as fine a lot of horses as one often
sees. We believe that no finer lot of
horses or better trained were ever shown
in a ring in Belvidere. The varied and
numerous features of the circus proper
were exceptionally good throughout.
Every one seemed pleased with the
show.-—The Northwestern, Ill. ’

The Worst Storm in Years.
Norwalk was visited by a ~ severe
thunder storm Wednesday afternoon,

or no damage in town. The rain came
do’Wn in torrents and washed the streets
pretty thoroughly. . There were sever-
al extraordinarily Vivid flashes of light-
ning and very heavy thunder.
and then as if gathering renewed
strength after passing over, broke in
two and played havoc in towns to the
east and west of Norwalk, the more
furious work being done by the eastern
section. ' .
Several Norwalk sailing parties were
thoroughly drenched by the rain. ' The
Stanley party who were in the yacht
Three Brothers ran in near Gregory’s

rainabout 11 o’clock last night, accom-
panied by thunder and lig tning, but
it was~of short duration and at 12
o’clock the sky was clear of all clouds.
AtWilton, several trees were struck
by livhtning, and two large trees near
the depot were blown down blocking
the highway for several hours.
At Westport, trees were uprooted,
among them being the well known

At Ridgefield the heavy rain was .ac-
companied by a high wind, after which
there was a shower of hailstones as
large as hickory nuts, this latter storm
lasting for fully half an hour and doing
great damage te-the-crops. Mr. Henry
Hawley’s coachman and gardener were

when the stinging cuts of the hail
caused the horse to run away, and the
occupants of the carriage were thrown
out, the gardener sustaining a fracture
to his shoulder and a broken arm.

well was struck by lightning and killed.
In Bridgeport, many people thought
that the destruction of the World as
promised by Professor Totten, by
flood and fire, had arrived. It began
at about 2:30 o’clock and continued at
intervals untilfi o’clock. The rain fell
in torrents, flooding most of the streets
badly, whilethe high wind blew down
trees and unro’ofed several ramshackle
structures in the suburbs. At Pleas-
ure Beach the wind carried away the
end ofthe big pavilion and deposited
the wreckage in the sound 200 feet dis-
tant. The electric light station was
also damaged to the extent of‘ about
$500. About 3 o’clock lightning struck
a barn owned by Bradley Nichols on

‘ THE KIND THAT CUBES.”
O
The Appropriation too Small.
The Soldiers’ hospital board are re-
ceiving proposals for lighting the Sol-
diers’_home at Noroton with gas or
electricity under the appropriation made
by the recent General Assembly, and
also proposals for the building of addi-
tions to the hospital and main building
under additional appropriations made
by the same body. "
Since the establishment of the home
oil lamps have been used for illuminat-
ing‘purposes and so far'as the amount
of light required was concerned have
answered the purpose very well. But
within the past ‘year or two the mana-
gers of the home have seen that there
was another very important matter
connected with the lighting of the
home. The inmates are all men well
advanced 111- years, physically broken
down and many of them in a more or
less helpless condition. The danger
became apparent that unless extreme
caution was exercised the home was
likely to be visited by a conflagration
which_would not only be extremely de—
structive to property, but would jeopar-
dize many lives. Numbers of the in-
mates were not physically competent
to be trusted with sucha dangerous
thing as a kerosene lamp in a large
wooden building, and others on account
of their almost total lack of apprecia-
tion of the danger of careless handling
of such lamps, were equally unfit to be
trusted with them. Then, too, one of
the veterans might retire at night un-
der the influence of intoxicants and de-
spite all precautions, exercised in his
befuddled condition, overturn a lamp
and cause wholesale ruin and death.
These things were all explained -to
the Legislature with the result that a
$5,000 appropriation for the illumina-
tion was voted. The board find that if an
electric system is adopted a plant capa-
ble of running 360 lights will be requir-
ed. So far the lowest estimate received
by_ them for such a plant is $6,000 and
this does not'include everything need-
ed. A naptha gas machine can be put
in_fo_r about the amount of the appro-
priation, but the board are not yet sat-
isfied that the compensating advantages
in such a plant would offset the dan-
gers _of kerosene. They hope to be
able in some way or other to procure
:11 electric plant within the appropria~
