Lack of ambition, inattention to
customers and a general do-noth
ing policy will kill any business: it
is only a question of time. Con
versely, an obliging, courteous
spirit, a quick response to the
wants of customers and the true
busiess quality that appreciates the
value of generous and attractive
advertising to acquaint the public
with the stock carried and bargains
offered, and business success is
more than reasonably sure.
If a certain North Dakota in
stance is to be followed utter ig
norance on the part of a man will
be liis best qualification for serving
on a jury. Let a man be intelli
gent. educated, conversant with
passing events, and able to form an
opinion based on facts, and he will
1M- rejected as unfit for jury service.
But let him be so illiterate as to be
unable to read, and so ignorant as
not to know the name of the chiet
exective of his nation, find he is at
once accepted by the lawyers on
both sides. Logically carried out
this would mean that the most
ignorant man is best qualified to be
foreman. Verily the time honored
right of being tried by a jury of
one's peers bids fair to become a
humiliation and a burlesque.
Representative's Wife in L. V.
K. R. Wreck.
Mrs. Lewis B. Zaner of Satter
field, wife of Representative Zaner
was on the Lehigh Valley train at
the time of the wreck at Stull.
The lady was returning home from
Philadelphia. Mr. Zaner who was
awaiting her at the Satterfield
station, was informed that his
wife had been killed, and when the
transfer train from Towanda went
to the scene of the wreck the anx
ious husband boarded it.
Mrs. Zaner was. but slightly in
jured and accompanied her husband
home.

Progress Toward National Banks.
Views of Guthrie Chase
and Lincoln.
(Continued from last week.)
James Guthrie of Kentucky,
secretary of the treasury in 1855
has the honor of hinting that un
less the banking system of the dif
ferent states was greatly reformed
I)}' the states themselves, it would
be the duty of the National gov
ernment to exercise its constitution
al power of taxing them out of ex
istence.
Salmon P. Chase, Secrettry of
the treasury in his report of Dec
ember 18(>1 recommended the estab
lishment of a national system that
should give the general goverment
complete control of the currency.
The state bank circulation of $l5O
- be regarded as "a loan
without interest, from the people
to the banks" and said: "It de
serves consideration whether sound
policy does not require that the
advantages of this loan be trans
feral from the banks, representing
the interest of stockholders, to the
government, representing the ag
gregate interest of the whole peo
ple." Mr. Chase further said:
''The central idea of the proposed
measure is the establishment of one
uniform circulation of equal value
throughout the country upon the
foundation of national credit com
bined with private capital, and
that the stockholders of any exist
ing banks can likewise organize
under the act, and transfer by such
degrees as may be found convenient,
the capital of the old, to the use of
the new association."
President Lincoln in his message
to congress in December de
clared himself in favor of the or
ganization of banking associations
under a general law of congress,
well guarded in its provisions.
A national bank bill was report
ed by the committee of ways and
means, on the 12th of July 19(52
and printed in the newspapers of
the loyal states. Those interested
in the old state banks were of
course at first exceedingly hostile
to it, but the measure was generally
favored by the people. The object
of the bill was to compel the retire
ment of the state banks circulation,
and induce the Iwinks themselves
to reorganize under the national
law. and -flit her more, not only
give the people a better currency,
but create a ready market for not
less than 8300,000,000 of the Unit
ed States five twenty, six per cent
bonds. The bill passed the senate
February 12th 18(53 by the small
majority of two votes, and was
passed by the House of Represent
atives on the 20th of February fol
lowing and was approved by the
President on the 25th. >j
