' N ‘ The banks of the city says the New" York World, are,holding a very large} amount 'Of idle money. At the same time the commerce and industry of the: country are seriOnsly crippled by their inability to borrow from the banks the money they need, as they usually do at this time of the year. _ ' 7 '- The excuse of the banks for refusing} to extend'. commercial and industrial credits,'or in other ways to let out on time loans the money for which there is no adequate call demand, is that they ' fear a resumption of specie shipments and a renewal Of hoarding. The inac-V tion of the Senate creates this want of confidence, and the Senate is clearly re- responsible for the injury it is doing to business, the banks claim. ‘ , . But are the banks, continues the World,doing their duty as fully as they safely might ? .Are they not over-con- servative ? Are they not by their tim- idity and selfishness imperilling their own interests by denying the conditions of prosperity to industry and trade ? 'Are they not demonstrating the unfit- ness of their system-to serve those pub- lic purposes for which banking systems are permitted to be ? ' It is the easiest thing in the world for the banks to sit still and hold on to nearly $25,000,000 surplus reserve while~ business is struggling With adversity. But is it the wisest thing for the banks to do, seeing that in the long run their profits and their very existence must depend upon the prosperity of general business. O A Federal inheritance Tax. . Congressman Erdman has introduced a bill designed to increase the revenues of the Federal Government not at the expense of the earnings or incomes of the living, but by‘ placing a tax opon the accumulations of the dead. In brief, his bill proposes to tax decedants’ estates of from $100,000 to $500,000 one per cent. , and all estates above $500,000 three per cent., when the es- tate goes to lineal decendants, and double these rates when the legatees are collateral heirs or strangers. Inherited wealth-has always been a favorite subject of taxation with a cerr class of legislators, and this idea has been embodied in our own state laws. Inheritances have not usually been sub- .jecied to Federal taxation however, the p‘blicy of the government being to se- cure sufiicient revenues try-duties on imports and internal taxes upon what are commonly considered as lux- uries. A departure from this rule was- necessary during the rebellion, but the tendency since the war has been to return to customs duties and the taxa‘i’ tion of a very few articles of home: proe duction. If congress should seriously consider the proposition to tax inheri-. . tances it would? require a modification of State taxation upon. the same sub- jects, as there will be justice in the claim. that they should not be taxed more than once. The point of imme- diate interest about Congressman Erd- cates a search for new sujects of 'taxa-. tion. .0 Tariff issue in Ohio. In his speech at Akron, Ohio, Gov. McKinley devoted his entire time to- national issues, and indulged in an ex-‘ haustive review of the tarifi‘,'finance and pension questiOns. He defended the law which bears his name with vigor, and boldly proclaimed that the fiiture would vindicatethe wisdom of protective legislation, and that; the party that repealed . the McKinley law would make a mistake that would prove costly to the ccuntry. It would seem ' that if the McKinley law is the author Of all of the misfortunes that has over: taken the Republican party during the past three years,.the governor’s o‘ppc- nents would gladly welcome'his. plan Of campaign. , '- ’ . 1.7 But the Democrats do not appear to be pleased with QGov. _ MCKlleY’S’ speech, and ' the principal objection they make is that he has ignored State issues and devoted all of'his attention to questionsof national import.‘ When, the Ohio Republicans, made McKinley, their gubernatorial candidate for the' second time, they did so,witli the un-' derstanding that they were giving their, _ efi‘o'r'ts to a cause that had not been faring very well, at the hands Ofthe , =.voters.l. In two successive elections the ' tariff 'had’ been theis'isue, andthe Re"- piiblican party had suffered overwhelm- ing defeat. .But the OhiORepublicans- « ' vantage. colds." - 69 man’s proposed measure is that it. ind-i- ' ' ' ' ' ; are confident that the protective-theory will=-_finally prevail, and they had the courage to place the leading exponent of that idea at their headand invite the victorious Democracy to another tria ~ of strength. ' When the Democrats chosca candi- date for, governor they selected Hon. Lawrence T. Neal, the author of the tariff plank of the Chicago platform. ‘Mr. Neal is as' ardent avfree trader as Gov. McKinley is a protectionist, and he is a man with the courage to express his convictions. In view of these facts it will occur to the public that the Ohio forum is the logical place for the dis- cussion of national issues. Therefore, national'questions come to the front in the Ohio campaign, and the supporters of the man who declared. Republican. protection to be a fraud and unconsti- tutional ought not to, complain because Gov. McKinley boldly joins issue with their leader. Mr. Neal ought to wel- come an opportunity to defeat Gov. Mc- Kinley on such issues, as a Democratic victory under the circumstances would make the victor a most prominent figure in national politics. . TERSE TALES 01- lHE TIMES. Mrs. George 11.

It is now proposed to place J oh'n Bar- thel in some asylum where he can be kept under proper restraint and out of the way of imperiling the lives of these belonging to. his household in Gran- berry Plains. The» doings of Barthel have been the subject of many articles in the newspapers. ‘Hc at times acts like a madman driving his family out of doors and threatening their lives. One day last week he visited the Nor- walk hospital and‘insisted on remain- ing there, and it was only after consid‘ erable trouble that he was ejected, after which he was cared for by a chance acquaintance. Surely some- thing ought to be done with him, be- it is laid at his door. 9 Never in Jail. On the 16th of next month Charles Gehebe has been in the Norwalk lock- up for sixteen years, and during the whole time he has never put in a peti- tion to anyone for a release. He was placed in charge of that place by the selectmen then in power and has been continued in office ever since. Mr. Gehebe’s experiences would fill a vol- cline listening to Charley’s recital of them. However he has served the town in a faithful manner, and we have yet to hear of a prisoner incarcerated there who has not been kindly treated at his hands“ He has a sympathetic heart, and will weep like a child on seeing another. in distress. and fight like a TIOJan in defense of the right. He has little or no hankering for poli- tics, makes a good policeman, takes his “man” when he wants him, and told a GAZETTE reporter this morning that his domicile could be greatly improved weatherwise with a bunch of shingles, and that he was never in jail. .9 Jollificatlon Parade. The republicans of the borough head- ed by a band of music, Tuesday night, celebrated the victories of the day be- fore with a parade. The paraders first visited the home of Mayor-elect E. O. Keeler whom they treated to a sore- nude and were in turn treated to a speech and refreshments. They then visited the homes of Councilmen Os- borne, Wheeler, Pinneo, Adams and Boyer,who also made speeches, Mr. Os- borne in his speech saying that Mr. Keeler was his choice for the next Gov- ernor of Connecticut. Water Commis- sioner Treadwell and Collector Betts al- so received a call from the paraders. The parade disbanded at 11:30 all being well satisfied with their jollification. During the parade some hoodlums standing on the sidewalks hurled sticks and stones at the paraders. Mr. Hor- ace Gibbs received a scalp wound on the head from a stone and Samuel Fos- ter was struck on the hip by a missile of some kind.- Several others were struck by missles but they were not in- Jured. Rev. G. M. Haulcnbeck’s silk hat was crushed down over his eyes by a limb in the hands of some one. .- Nail Mill Resumes. BELvanE, N.

Tuesday evening, watching the parade, was Miss Carrie Schuman. As her attention was attracted, a man who is described as being .tall and wearing a slouch hat, grabbed at her watch chain with the evident intent of stealing her watch. He secured the chain, but the watch was , securely fastened to Miss Schuman’s dress, and he failed in secur- ing it. He then quickly got out of sight. It was a bold‘attempt at rob- bery, as a number of people were stand- ing near, none of whom, however, seem able to‘give a very good description of the thief. . ' ' .

'- -‘ O->—- . Amusements. MUSIC HALL. Of the great American comedy, “The Rainmakers," which is to be presented at the Music Hall _next Friday even- ing, the Brooklyn Times says : “There was considerable cheering, and the . people on the stage could certainly not complain of lack of encouragement from those on the other side of the footlights. The company contained sev- eral artists who were warmly received on their reSpective appearances. To their efforts and to the lavish stage set- ting and costuming belong the credit for the"apparent success of the per- formance. The stars of the piece were encored on all they did, and so weie most of the Others.- Ross and Fenton contributed a travesty On “Fedora,” - which Was clever. Bernard Dyllyn sang admirably, Donnelly and Girard executed a number of ”double turns,” and half a dogen graceful girls dressed most becomingly made themselves gen- erally fascinating. OPERA HOUSE. “The Senator” will'be presented at the Opera House Saturday , evening, Oct. 7th. The piecehad a run of near: ly two years in New York. The prime reason’for the triumph'of the comedy remains to 'be told. It is in the charac- -ter of “ The Senator,” and in what it stands for to, the audience. TheSena- tor’s solid figure, his quick, powerful walk and vigorous. action, his dark hair, streaked w1th_ iron gray, and his “ chin beard,” his _ straight-forward manners, void of polish, in the draw- ing-room sense of the word, his good sense, his fluent speech, his, substantial truth and the large modesty which ever makes him credit his high fortunes to . his “fool luck,” his thorough, good, ‘ active and shrewd overfloWi’ng humor his hatred of sham and meanness, an hisprofound andgenuine reverence for good it men—this is a type withiwh‘ich _. /_‘ ’..

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Thc Star says: “The president has made a radical change in the matter of federal appointments. He proposes hereafter to accept the recommen- dations made by the heads of departments to which the appointments relate, instead of undertaking to pass personally on the merits of the applicant’s individual case and making the selection himself. ' He pursued this latter course during his first ‘ administration and undertook to continue it in this, but pressure upon him for Office - has become so great that he 'has’ finally to abandon the task and to, divide the work offilling the offices among his eight assist- ants in the cabinet. In this he adopts the policy of President Harrison and nearly all his predecessors in‘ the white house, who quickly realized the hopelessness of passing personally on the many thousand appointments at their disposal. “Senators and representatives in con- gross and politicians generally have been informed of the new order of things, and now instead of making personal appeals to the president they direct their best on- ergies to securing the indorsemcnt of the members of the cabinet having jurisdiction in the matter. This plan divides the work among eight men and gives the president more time to devote to the consideration of the general business of the government. Although it adds to the official burden of the cabinet ministers it is said to be a. re- sponsrbility they are perfectly willing to assume. - " t is said at- the white house that there is no truth in the report that the president has curtailed the » visiting privileges of members of congress, and that they can readily secure an audience with him on public business not pertaining to Office.” WRONG SIGNAL AND SUICIDE; IVatchmaii Baer Causes a Collision and Shoots Himself. ALLENTOWN, Pa, Oct. 4. ~—Becoming ex- cited with the problem of handling two freight trains over agradc crossing,‘ watch- man Thomas Baer gave the wrong signals yesterday at Catasauqua, which. resulted in a disastrous collision between a Lehigh' Valley coal train and the Crane iron com- pany’s shifting engine with 20 oil and coal cars. “The Crane tracksrun at right an- gles over the covered Lchigh river bridge and turn at the crossing over a very short curve where high'blufls and build ings obstruct the view from all sides. The Lehigh Valley crew jumped and saved their lives while the ponderous train struck the Crane engine sideways and rolled it over. Joseph Ray", engineer of the Crane freight, was instantly killed, and Herbert 4 James, engineer. of ' the Lehigh Valley train, was fatally injured. Both engines, Were completely wrecked.
