The Uni ted States Exchange Bank did not open its doors today because of the closing of other banks and the unusual demand for tnotiey. The citshier reports that the bank is perfectly solveut, but that these times are extraordi nary times, and that the tempo rary suspension is necessary for its protection and for the pro tection of its depositors. This buulc bus a capital of $100,000, u surplus of $87,170 and individual deposits of $880,970 , Providsnce, R. I., Oct. 25tli. The Union Trust Company closed its doors today because of the stringency in the money market. It reports ussets of $28,000,000 and deposits of $21,000,000. The capital , stock of the company is $500,000, with a surplus of $3, 250,000. Brooklyn, N. Y., Oct. 25th. ,The Borough Bank of Brooklyu today unnounced a temporary suspension. It has a capital of $200,000, a surplus of $60,000 and $85,000 of undivided profits. The loan account is given as $2,650, liOO and deposits of $3,250,000. The above are only a few of the numerous accounts which reach us of bank embarrassments that have receutly taken place. What is the cause of them? The country, according to Republi can tooters, is in better shape liuaucially than ever in its his- j tory. No man who will or can work, is poor. Yet, despite this assumed fact, we tind the prices of our itiurket products drag ging. We tind our banks fail ing, or temporarily suspending for hick of money. We find our cotton mills and other industries hampered in their operations from the same cause. What is the remedy? In reply to our first question, wo will say that the cause of this condition may be found in an inelastic monetary system, and in answer to the second, we state that the solution may be found in an elastic curraucy. We are already ou record in one of our local contemporaries on this question of elastic currency, so will notiutt'.ct our ideas on you again. Our views have not changed, so if any of our solons and law makers waiit to gather au idea or so from our remarks of a half dozen years back, they can ad dress a card to either the Mes senger or Chronicle, and we have no doubt that the editor of either paper will take pleasure in furnishing the information desired. BE FAIR, SENATOR. We notice that several of our exchanges are raking Senator Latimer rather severely over the coals because of his i>osition on the question of immigration. The latest stricture, editorially announced is in a vulued Colum bia, S. C., exchange which says that the Senator knows, or, ought to know that the introduc tion of Russian Jews, Greeks, Italians and other Latin peoples is prohibited uuder our immi iX ration laws, and that only Ger man, Scotch, Scandinavians, English and Irish are eligible. The exchange referred to goes on to say that Senator Latimer doosn't object to that class of immigrants, which we think is a /correct assertion. But, we want to say that there are Germans and Germans, Scandinavians and ScandinaviAns, Scotchmen and Scotchmen, Englishmen and Englishmen and Irishmen and Irishmen. We do not want the scum of either nationality, yet we can't seo what other class of these peoples we are goiug to get if the passage of the immi grant is paid either by the State or by private parties. An im migrant to be worth his salt, should be able not only to pay j ? r his own passage, vbal ? cr have with dim a sum of money suffi cient to insure him against want until he ean secure remunera tive employment To secure that employment is an easy mat-, ter. Ther? is no doubt in the mind of any thoughtful person that the demand tor labor far exceeds the supply, nor that any man or woman who is capable of filling a place in the industrial picture can obtaiu that place. In this country it in only the in different, the incompetent who grumble because of lack of work. Unfortunately, we have quite a class of these, and it is this class that makes a majority of our labor troubles. The members composing this class are clock watchers, eye servants, work- 1 shiricers and dilatories. This is the class tbat Senator Latiuier, wants to exclude from our bor ders, and he is eminently cor rect. In the writing of the above, we don't want to be mis understood us tooting Senator Lattmer's liorn for re-election, for while we are personally friendly, we don't care a snap who is elected. ? LONGHANDS OUT PACKAGE. Stanford, Conu., Oct. "As a matter of fact, this runniug of a timid animal by dogs and then sliooiing Iiiri from a distance, is pure cowardice when the animal has no chance of defeudiug him self. Some men like it, nut they don't brag, and I have absolutely no criticism to make. Every man must be happy in his own way. " This is what the Rev. Dr. William J Long, uature writer, has to say of President Roose velt's hunt in the cane brakes of Mississippi. "Mc- Roosevelt," Dr. Long added, "wentiuto thecanebrake, according to accounts, with six oreight professional hunters, two surgeons, 00 odd dogs, unnum bered camp followers, camera men, and a few -dispatch bearers to carry out accounts of his he roism to the breathless world, t "There was hullaballoo enough | to scare any bear from here to Texas. Some of them are prob ably running yet. Bears are tim id, you know; they hate udise and excitement. It's a wonder that he got one bear, that he* ev en saw a fresh track. All the able-bodied bears skiddooed at the first uproar, so dear to the President's heart. If a real hunter went down there now, a man that knows how to go into the woods quietly aud hunt, ho probably would get all the bears he wauted. But ho would have to leavo the brass baud and the applauding gallery behind, and that Mr. Roosevelt can not do. Hence, his one poor she-bear." Newsy Notes from Antiocli. Wo have been having fine weather for gathering the fleecy staple, and the most of it in this < section has beou gathered. The Rev. T. L. Cole has ac cepted a recent call to the pas torate of Mispali Baptist church for auoiher year of service much to the delight of his many friends here. The fruit supper at Mr. Sump. Amnions' netted twenty tv\o dol lars which will be sent to Con nie Maxwell Orphanage. Mr. Ebin McLeod accompanied by his brother, Robert, spent Sunday with their parents at this place. Mrs. Lizzie Brown of Harts ville, has returned to her home after a pleasant visit to relatives in this burg. Mr. D. W. Joy and family of Herriotte's X Roads was in this section on last Sunday. Mr. S. H. Clievvning is all smiles. It's a fine boy. Mr. W. L. A. Cook is making additions to his residence. Quite a number of our people expect to attend the State Fair. We have no marriages to re port this timo, but think there will be some soon. With best wishes to THE PEOPLE, and it's many readers. Bell. Worked I4 Ike a C/lnirni. Mr. I>. N.
