In behalf of this ptopnsltlon the cir
cular of announcement truthfully says
that "the conditions of success In busi
ness have greatly changed during tho
lat fifty jeai. Mnikets have wlden
d, competition has Incrensed, and the
scale of operations has been "nlarred.
T hese changes ha e raised the stand

clan It must be both bioad nnd sie
clal In ehntacter, not only producing
Intelligent, well-poised men, but also
acquainting them with the laws and
forcei of the business world.
"Recent financial and political events
render It necessary to dwell on the Im
portance or value of education to the
Aineiienn banker. The magnitude of
modem business undertakings, and the
intimate financial lelatlonshlp estab
lished by the cable and telegraph be
tween nil pnits of the eaith, as well as
the l elation of banking to gieat Issues
of national politics, have made a wlilo
Intellectual horizon essential to a bank

all these topics, which aie studied In

"The fact Is not ovei looked that

The Danger in France.
T
HAT TIIF acquittal of Dtey-
fus would be followed by a
revolution In Franco we do
not believe. In u contest
with the mob the government would
hivo every ndvnntatTe provided the
nrinv, or u laigo part of It, should re
main loyal, and although the majority
of the higher otllcers of tho general
staff appenr to be In the conspiracy
ngnlnst Dievtus It does not appear
that tho rank nnd file of tho nrmv Is
generally tnlntcd with treason Should
tho clique ot generals prominent In
tho prosecution undertake to organlzs
a l evolution, dissensions nmoni! them
provvlng out of rival nmbUIons would
bo Inevitable almost from tho begln
nlng, and disintegration of their forces
could not bo long postponed.
Tho crisis, so far as the army was
concerned, occuired nt tho beginning
of tho Waldeck-Uosseau ministry,
when Ri cabinet avowedly favorable to
1 revision was successfully, fashioned out
w
of nntnconlstlc political materials for
the express purpose of savlnc tho re
rubllo. Then was when the challenge
was thrown down nnd tho army scowled
but did not plflt it up. Since then a
good deal of the down has been rubbed
off the wings of the disaffected gen
eials. Mercler, Hoget, Clonse, Hols
deftrc. nil have suffered from the reve
lations of their Intrigues made under
tho skillful direction ot Maltre Laborl.
There must be men of pense In the
army ot France who In the light ot
these disclosures would not put their
trust In such ptrnw-and-buckram
ehlcttalns to tho extent of following
them Into open sedition1 and In the
old "Silver Holly" wnr secretary, Gen

The peril In France today lies In the
possibility, wo inny say tho probability,
of nn equivocal verdict denying to
Dreyfus the Justice which Is ro ob
viously his due. The better Informed
public opinion of France, reinforced
bv the moral pympnthy of civilization.
Is grimly determined tint the rank
rores exposed by the Dreyfus trial
must bo cauterized. A shufillng ver
dict would pimply Intensify this determination-
nnd while the men who hold
this opinion are not revolutionists or
demagogues the orderly prosecution of
their purpose Is certain to excite for
cible leslstanco nnd thus bring on nn
other crisis In which the elements of
J'lench society will line up for decency
ur for chaos.
Among the many who deserve credit
for contributing largely to the excep
tlonnl success of Monday's parade,
mention should be made of the man
agement of tho Delaware. Lackawanna
and Western Railroad company. Its
tialn service was first-class. Rarely
has extraordinary travel been better
handled.
The "aunties" nt Cincinnati who et
tempted to mob I'dltor Hnlstoad tho
other night, placed that particular class
of cranks In a new llrht. It was the
first Instance In which the "aunties"
ever Indicated a desire to do anything
lut talk.

HUMAN NATURE STUDIES
President Grant's Suggestion,
An official who quite generally knows
what he Is talking about was dilating
the other nftemoon, says the Washing
ton Post, upon the funny hopelessness
for all reasonable put poses of many
of the little cieeka and l Ivors for the
"Imiuovenient" of which congress was
asked to uppiopilnte money under the
river and harbor bill.
"When Grant was president," paid
the otllclal, "he used to alternately
chuckle and fulminate against the ex
penditure of good government coin for
the inipiovemetit' of measly little
sti earns that he himself knew could
never bo made fit for any human pur
pose. Theie vvns n Vliglnlan who, fall
ing to get congress to stick In nn ap
propriation for the dredging of a little
stream down In his section, finally Im
poi tuned Grant In the matter.
" 'Let's see,' said Grant, musingly, 'I
believe I ciossed that stream In 1S01,
wasn't If
"The Virginian, who remembered
Grant's ciosslng of the stream pretty
well, io pi led affirmatively.
"'Look beie,' said Giant, after i
pause, his face lighting up suddenly,
'why don't v on mnoadamizp it?'"
His Patience Gave Out.
A Janitor in a neighboring schotd
thiew up his Job the other day. When
asked what was the tiouble ho nn
sweied" "I'm honest and I won't stand being
sluned. If I find n pencil or handker
chief about the school when I'm sweep
ing I hang It up. Kveiy little while
the teaeheis or some one that Is toi
cowardly to face me gives me a slur."
"In what way'" asked an officer.
"Why, n little while ago I saw writ
ten on the bnaid, 'Find the common
multiple.' Well, I looked from cellar
to gairet and X wouldn't know the
thing If I met It on the street. What
made me quit my Job' Last night In
big wrltln on the blackboard, it said,
Tlnd the greatest common divisor.'
Well, I snvs to myself, both them
dnined things are lost now, and I'll
get blamed for svv Iplng 'em, so I'M
quit." Steuben Republican.
Words Failed Him.
It Is told of Admiral John Crittenden
Watson, now In command at Manila.
that at Rostnn, In 1S93, the green
hands of the naval mllltla came aboard
his ship, nnd a practical Joker far'arJ
told them thei would have to deliver
their flasks to tha sallmaker's mate.
That worthy, who was never known to
refuse a drink, wns shoitly afterward
astounded to lecelve, ns gifts ns he
supposed, n large number of flasks of
good whlskv. Ho was found tho next
day asltjep In the sallroom. says the
Chicago Recoul. with dozens of empty
flasks aiound him nnd on him, and
was biought "to tho mast" Watson,
his voice trembling with anger or
laughter no one knew which eyed
him, nnd then blurted out: "Aleck, I
have no words with which to discuss
such a case as yours. Go forward!"
It Was Merely a Habit.
The lawyer asked the witness If tho
Incident previously alluded to wnn't
a miracle and tho witness snld ho
didn't know what a miracle was.
"Oh, come," said the attorney. "Sup
posing you vveie looking out of a win
dow In tho twentieth story of a build
ing nnd should fall out and should not
bo injuied. What would ou call
that?"
"An accident," was the stolid leplv.
"Vc's, jch: but what else would ou
call It? Well, suppose you were do
Ing tho same thing the next clay; sup
poso jou looked out of the twentieth
story window nnd fell out, and again
should find vouiself not injured. Now,
whnt would you call that?"
"A coincidence," said the witness.
"Oh, come, now," tho lawyer began
ngnln, relates thu Gentlewoman "I
want you to understand what n. miracle
Is, and I'm sure ynu do Now, Just
suppose that on thlid day you were
looking out of tho twentieth story
window and fell out, and struck your
head on tho pavement twenty stories

"Joo" Blackburn Described.
When Joseph C. Hlnckburn, of Ken
tucky, was elected to congress In 1STI
his competitor was IM Marshall, a
brother of the celebrated Tom Mar
shall. Says a writer In the Hun: As
n master of rldlcuje, I1 Marshall
never met his match, not even In his
brother Tom. Marshall served up
Hlnckburn dally In every cullnniy
style roasted, boiled, bt oiled, stewed,
nnd fried. In these days the financial
question was In a hopelessly nebulous
state, and then, as ever, Hlaekbtun
wnH .for "more money," greenbacks be
ing the panacea, ns free silver Is now.
One day Marshall enraged him with
something like this, and the Ashland
district has been laughing about It
ever since:
"My fellow citizens, when Joe dis
cusses the broad and expansive ques
tion of finance he reminds me of a duck
.sailing on the placid bosom of n vast
lake, drawing something less than two
Inches of wnter, dealing not a llpple
on the glassy suiface, nnd blissfully
nnd defiantly Ignorant of the fathom
less depths beneath him."
Mai shall got the most npplause, but
Joe got the most votes, and so Mnr
shall again emigrated to Cnllfornli,
which state he had before repiesentod
In congress, nnd wheie ho became at
torney genernl not a very greit while
k after his defeat by Hlnckburn.

A gentleman residing in T street, N. W., Washington,
D. C, asserts that he sutTercd for many years with dyspepsia,
indigestion and biliousness. He tried every known remedy,
consulted many physicians with the hope of getting cured or
even relief, but nothing seemed to relieve him. Alter meals
he would feel as if a ball of lead was lodged in his stomach,
tired and listless, as though life was scarcely worth living.
Finally he was attracted to the ad of
R1PANS TftBULEJ
and concluded to try them. After taking the first two or three
he was surprised to find the relief they gave and soon he felt
iike .n npw man. He has never been without Ripans Tabules
since, nor has he suffered
since.
