0 ! , Neb. , August 29.-Special [ Tele-
pram to Tun BKK. ] The City National bank ,
II. UosUvlclc president and J. M.Ferguson
cashier , wns closed this morning by volun
tary act of the directors. This measure was
decided on last night at a formal meeting.
The real cause Is an overplus of paper and a
largo deficiency In cftsh on hand. The county
nnd city officers were notified in time and
withdrew all deposits , amounting to ? i" ,000 ,
thus preventing n larger loss , as this bank
has hnd a monopoly of the county finances
for years. The depositors nro assured of pro
tection against loss , The Western loan and
investment company , nn allied real estate
mortgage Institution , is not affected.
Tbo statement of liabilities nnd available
assets is being made up , The bank examiner
la expected today , and uutil ho arrives the
exact facts cannot bo ascertained.
> The run upon tbo City Rational bank was
begun immediately after the insolvency of
the Hastings dry pressed brick company be-
caiuo publicly known a few days ago and the
commoncctnunt of suits by the bank against
M. L. Elscnioro und C. N. Dletz for recovery
on a $3,000 note.
It was believed thnt Mr. Bostwlck , presi
dent of the bank , was heavily involved , und
that matters In the brick company's affairs
had como to a crisis.
The run started nnd continued in spite ot
the strongest efforts to check it ,
The capital stock of the bank , according to
the lost statement , wns $100,000 ; surplus
fund , $ JJ,000 ! undivided profits , ? .l,2.ia ; de
posits subject to check , $ .V..54ll.23 ) ; demand

city in the volume of its business. Mr. Best
wlck controlled u majority of the stock and a ,
number of business men held stock to the
amout of * 30.000 to $50.000.
The State Bank of Vunn , Yuran , Colo. , is
umler the same presidency , but its condition
nnd relation to this failure cannot be ascer
tained , but It Is thought to bo in good shape.
Mr. Dostwlck today transferred all his real
estate , { 3.,000iu all , to his brother In New
York.
In conversation with a stockholder tonight
Tnu Urn was given tlio history und cause of
the failure. When County Treasurer Paul ,
about a year iigo , assumed the biick business
the institution was considerably involved. Ho
exhausted his deposit at the City National
batik nnd one other institution In this city ,
which aroused the suspicions of Mr. Best
wlck that there was a colored gentleman in
the woodpile. When Mr. Paul was con
fronted und pressed for a statement ho made
n secret ndtnlssion to Bostwlck that bo was
in the bolo for S22.000 In the brick yard
nnd nothing to show for It , nnd
begged Bostwlck to help him out ,
which bo finally consented to dote
to bridge the mutter over. It was then agreed
to got some ono to manage the brick yard ,
nnd finally they closed a deal with Elsemoro
Knowltoa.j Elsemoro claimed to have
fS.OOO nnd Kuowlton $3,000 of gas stock at
hand to sink into tbo famous pressed nrick
yarrl . . , . . .
TUiS firm received ' eovcrnl - "
now good1" contracts -
tracts , nmong them the HQW county court
house , the Acndtmv of the Visitation und bus
iness blocks ut Blue Hill , Neb. They lost
several thousand dollars on the academy con
tract , and when they commenced the court
house work Mr. Elsemoro was obliged to bor
row the # 5.000 for thirty days , for which suit
was brought against him lastS.iturday by the
City National bank , tq tide them over until
the court house was completed , or until they
could get their money. The thirty days hnd
fled and Mr. Bostwick had not seen the re
turn of his K5,000.
Sixty and ninety days passed and no $5,033 ,
when forbearance ceased to bo n vhtuo with
Mr , Bostwlrk. Hu then demanded a state
ment from Mr. Elsemoro. It was then dis
covered that Elsemoro & Knowlton had
drawn every cent for tbo work
on the eouit house. Mr. Best
wick then demanded a statement
at once. Mr. Elsemoro took the train for
Omaha and made a full breast of his trouble
to Dictz. Ho informed Diotz that ho was in
the hole for$10,00'J , , or thereabouts , with TC-
'jiults as reported lu Tins BF.I : in tuoInterview
with Attorney Montgomery.
When the bank closed it was carrying
about 814,000 brick yard paper In addition to
the famous $5,000 which was signed C. N.
Dletz , pcrM. L. Elscnioro , manager.
DirectorKVnns informed Tin : HUB man
Into this evening thnt If Diet/ repudiated the
(5,000 Mr. Elscmorc would hnvo to go to the
penitentiary , as ho had written nutlioritv nt.
the bank to sign for C. N. Dictz in the busi
ness lu this city.
The closing of tbo bank is a most deplor
able affair. The assets ure placed nt S2'.W)00. ' )
The deposits amount to f 1-10,003 or there
abouts , not to exceed $ H" > ,000 ,
The United States bank examiner Is ex
pected tonight. The bank oftlcials tonight
positively us wt that every depositor will bo
protected against loss.

WASIHN-OTOX , D. C. , August 29.1 !
There was a great deal of talk nt tno capl-
tel today about nn extra session of congress.
It WIM precipitated by a resolution Intro
duced in the senate by Mr. Edmunds provid
ing that congress shall take a recess from
September 19 to November 10. The resolu
tion was simply a suggestion from Senator
Edmunds , was In no way the result of nny
conference or understanding among the re
publicans and was Intended simply as a basis
upon which to discuss the feasibility of a re
cess. It Is not likely that a recess can bo
taken. The democrats would fight it to the
bitter end , as it would presage the considera
tion of the election bill und could
not bo finally adopted without amend
ing the rules. Many republicans believe
It would bo better , should It bo ueemcd ad
visable to have raoro time in the next session ,
for the president to call congress together
earlier than tbo flrst week in December , when
It would meet under the provision of the con
stitution. The president has not expressed
himself to any ono uixm the subject of nn
extra session. But those who know most
nbout his Ideas upon kindred propositions do
not believe that ho would ask congress t
convene alone for the election bill , however
much ho may wish to see it finally adopted.
Senators who know most about the possibili
ties of the democrats in the upper branch of
congress believe that if congress Is in session
in November It will bo called together by the
president , as any amount of time could bo
wasted under the present rules by the demo
crats for the purpose of defeating n final vote
on a recess resolution ornn amendment of the
rules for the purpose of adopting n recess
resolution , or taking any steps in the direc
tion of consideration of the election bill.
Democratic senators contend that tbo propo
sition submitted by Mr. Edmunds is on evi
dence that the republicans would 'break
fulth with the democratic side If It adopted
any measure of the character proposed by
the senator from Vermont , as the democrats
have accepted the programme of the repub
lican senators looking toward the early dis
position of the tariff , the consideration ot
certain measures at this session and an ad-
joutnment at the earliest possi bio day. They
say that they accepted the terms of the ar
rangement with the understanding thnt
nothing would bo done la the direction of.
consideration of the election bill at this or
next session nnd thnt a recess could meet
only tbo consideration of that measure.

COPIES OF srnEciics COST MOXCT.
Campaign managers arc making liberal-de
mands upon men In congress for copies of
speeches. Some of the senators have re
ceived orders for as high as twenty to thirty
thousand copies of tariff speeches atone time.
The impression seems to bo that men in con
gress only have to write an order on the
government printing ofllco nnd get all the
speeches they want free gratis. It costs a
senator or representative as much to procure
speeches from tbo government printing of
fices or sources as it does a private citizen.
The government publishes only ouo copy of
speeches delivered in congress and thnt Is the
ono which appears in the congressional rec
ord. Speeches cost from $4 to S-'JJ per thou
sand. The silver coluago speech of Senator
Jones of Nevada cost MU per thousand.
OEXEHtl , OlIAXT'S IICMAINS.
It is the general impression that the agita
tion which has been irolnc on in certain cir
cles of concross loohifitr toward the removal
of General Grant's remains from Hiversido
park , New York city , to Arlington , this city.
\vlllilnaUyrcsult1uthocity or citizens of
New York erecting a proper monument lethe
the deceased heio. The remains will remain'
where they ure at present. The New York
statesmen say that if It .should como to a
question of having them removed to Wash
ington or erecting a monument the
latter step would bo promptly taken.
They do not hesitate to say that it
Is a shame nothing has been done toward
permanently and suitably marking the grave
of General Grant. They acknowledge , too ,
that the majority of the people in the country
ucllovc that General Grant'a remains should
rest nt the national cauitol , the theatre of
most of the acts which made him great.
They contend , however , that Genernl Grant
himself and his family preferred that the
remains should bo deposited In Now York.
Tno concurrent resolution which is going
through congress is simply nn expression of
thnt body as to the propriety of removing the
remains of General Grant to Washington.
Of course congress could take no mandatory
action. The only significance such action
could hnvo at the hands of congress would bo
to commit that body in favor of an appropri
ation for the erection of n monument in the
event the remains should bo removed.
A RIEMAKKAKI.K CLAIM.
William H. Herr , a citizen of DeorLodgo ,
Mont , bos brought before congress a remark
able claim. Ho has submitted a petition
throiigb Senator Panders , asking for the
pnment of S-'AOJOln restitution of certain
property taken from him by the act which hi-
corporatcd the Yellowstone National park.
Herr says In his petition , that in 1S71 ho went
ti the county now within the boundary of
the Yellowstone park nnd took up a squ.it-
ter'schilm of 1X ( ) acres , und that he discovered
t'io Mammoth hot sprint's and named them.
Dozoman was the nearest point of civilization
at thnt time , a long distance. Congress
In IbT'J passed the bill incori > oratlng the
Yellowstone National park , but Herr , on ac
count of his remote location , could not com-
munlcuto with congress and had no oppor
tunity to treat In behalf of his claim , although
ho attempted to enter a protest and set up his
claim at the timo. Ho says that if he had
been allowed to retain his quarter section of
Innd It would now bo wBrth ? 50,000 , but the
act which incorporated the Ycllow.stono-pirk
did not recognize u squatter's riuhts. It sim
ply ect aside so much of the public domain lo

NATIONAL QUESTIONS TOUCHED UPON ,
The Famous Advocate of n Progres
sive Protective Tariff Claims that
Our rorclRti Trade Is in
a 1'onr Condition.
WATCUVILI.- , , August 20. A public
nnss meeting was held tonight , nnd after
Jovcruor Burlcigh bad spoken President
Small of Colby university Introduced "Tho
eaderof the republican party nnd famous
advocate of the Interesting nnd progressive
> rotcctivo tariff , Hon. JamesG. Blaino. " In
regard to the national questions , Mr. Blnlno
aid ! "I wish to declare the opinion
hat the United States has reached
a point whcro ono of Its highest
lutles is an enlarged area for Its foreign
rade. Under the bencllccnt policy of pro
tection wo bnvo developed a volume of inan-
ifocturcs which in many departments over
run the dcinnnds of the homo market. In th
leld of ngriculturo , with our immense popu-
utlon and agricultural Implements , wo can
do far more than produce bread stuffs and
irovisions for our own people ; nor would it
> o an ambitious destiny forso great a ecun
ry as ours to manufacture only what \voj an
consume and produce only what wo can oat
"Wo arc already in many fabrics nnd in
many products far beyond that , nnd our
great demand is expansion. I tnenn the cx-
jansion of trade with countries where wean
: an find profitable exchanges. Wu arc not
seeking aunevuthm of territory certainly
wo do not desire It unless It should come by
volition of people who might ask the prlce-
ebsboonoia place under our ling. 1 feel
sure that for a long time tocomo the people
of the United States will bo wisely
contented witti our present area mid not
launch upon any schema of annexation. At
the same time I think wo should bo unwisely
content If wo did not seek to engage in what
Younger Pitt so well termed tbo annexation
of trade. For nearly thirty years now the
United States has had the great advantage
> f n protective tariff : by far the longest un-
aroken period that its indubtrl.il pol-
ey has been In force since the led-
cral government was organized. Happily n
great majority of our people nro without a
strict regard for party lines and believe the
results to tbo American people from the pro-
Lective policy have been incalculably bene
ficent , aggregating inn quarter of a century
nntiounl and individual wealth beyond any
thing ever dreamed of before In the history
of the world.
"I do not mention protection because 1 in
tend to speak in reference thereto before this
audience. That would bo a needless
if not nn impertinent effoit. I merely
wish to proclaim its victories. Without
protection the United States would bo
poor indeed after the ravages from Ibtil to
1805 , wiyjfcfotectlon every bcction flourished
and prospered , grown and gained , nnd even
where reveuue duties have been laid witn no
expectation of developing industries there
have in many instances lieen great financial
and industrial results. The heavy duty on
silk was levied primarily , not for protection ,
but simply to secure a larger revenue from
ono of the luxuries of the rich , and as a con-
scquencoUie 8ilkrindustry increased so rap
idly that It constitutes one of the leading
fabrics of Now Ji'i'soy , one of the largest
manufacturing status in the union. I could
readily ndvuuco other Illustrations "to'the'
same effect.
"As I have already Intimated , I am here to
speak of the expansion of our foreign trade ,
not by any novel process , not oy any mode
that will shook or disturb homo industries ,
not by any mode that will invite our people
to rush experiment , or that will launch us in
doubtful and dangerous Investments what I
"mean to speak of briefly is reciprocity , not in
conflict with the protective tariff but supple
mentary thereto , and presenting a Held of en
terprise that will richly repay the effort nnd
energy of the American people. We shall find
rt instructive and valuable to examine into
the sources of our imports and the destina
tion of our exports , and to strike a balance
between the two. Take last year , 1881) ) . In
that year our whole exports to all countries
in three continents Europe , Asia and Africa
and Australia , Canada and Hawaii-
amounted In round numbers to 58oS,030,030 ,
and our Impoit-s from all those countries
amounted to $529,000,000 , bhowing that from
that vast trade wo had a balance of $129-
000,000 in our favor , equivalent to that
amount in gold among our people. When all
accounts were closed , instead ot having $129-
000,000 in our favor wo had a balanoo of $ ! , -
000,000 against us from our foreign trado.
Wo must therefore have lost 8143,000,000 In
our commerce with countries outside of these
to which I have referred. Where coiild wo
have found such largo advcrs > o balance ! Let
mo tell you that wo have lost $41,030,000
In Cuba , from which Its Imports were
t > 2,000,000 and to which our exports were
only f 11,000,000. Forty-one millions Is n pretty
large sum to lose on one island in ono year.
"In the republic of Brazil wo lost Wl.OOO.OUO ,
our cxpoits to Brazil were $9,000,000 ; In Mexico
ice we los.1 § 10,000,000 , imports from Mexico ,
1,000,000 ; exports to Mexico , $11,000,000.
To bum it all up , our im
ports from countries south of us
were $ i 10,000,000 , , our exports to them
174,000,000. The balance against us In our
trade with these countries , therefore , Is
1142,000,000 , exceeding our gains from all the
restofthowoild by jMil.OOO.OOO.
' By no figure of speech can wo flatter onr-
selves Into a belief that our trade with our
American neighbors is in a prosperous condi
tion. How can this state of affairs bo rem
edied ? You have heard u great , deal salit
within the past ten years by our democratic
friends nbout the iniquity of the republi
can paity keeping up the war tariff.
As a matter of fact the war tariff has not
been kept up , but has been amended over and
over iifufn until the revision has left scarcely
a trace of the actual tniifT that was in oner.i-
tion at the close ot the war und for years
afterwards. During the war wo were com
pelled to tax almost everything in air , water ,
on earth and under the earth. The necessi
ties of the government were so great that we
could allow scarcely anything to bo
imported without paying a tribute , nnd I
think no patriotic man can deny that that
was n wise policy. AVe were not tnen studying -
ing the philosophy of our trade relations , but
how to save thu life of a nation. Money was
a primal necessity and we seized It wherever
wo could reach it lawfully. But during the
last eighteen years u sreat change has been
made and bo entirely has the war tariff been
abolished that In the llscal year ending Juno
30. 1SSU. the urlifles Admitted Ireo were con
siderably moro than one-third of nil the Im
ports to he exact , the Imported urtlcloa that
paid duty exceeded SI , OKOOa In value and
the Imported articles tliut p.ild no duty ex
ceeded 3ia ( > . ( KXl in value.
"The Inevitable tendency is , I think , to
ward nn increase of the free list. Our great
mistake was made whca wo began to repeal
war duties on so largo an amount of Imports ,
Any duty roncalcd was a favor and an ad
vantage to thu exporting country , and wo
Imvo uskod nothing In return. Instead of
this course , which 1 must * say was
one of carck" > sncss and wasteful
ness by both political parties , every
repeal of duty shouU Itavo bo.'n
preceded by a most thorough investigation ,
and whenever It was found practicable to ex-
l > ort anything from the United States , nnd
thus establish a reciprocity of trade , It
should have been done. I do not , of course ,
intend to declare or imply tliut wo could
have secured a f reo admission of * .28 < iuOO,000
of American products into couatrlea whoso
products wo purchase every yrar to that
amount. The richer country cannot get
complete reciprocity in amount from
countries le s wealthy , but whatever wo
should have receive 1 would have been a u'enr '
gain , and in all future repeals of di v s of
whatever wo may bo able to get wilt bo a
clear gain. It is not n question ot setting de
liberately to work to establish reciprocity
exchanges , but with all duties wo
have thus repealed , It has tocn a
question of whether wo should got
something or nothing.Vo \ have chosen with
our eyes closed to got tiothlt g. 1 | hope now ,
with our eyes open , thnt wo shall in future
choose to get something. Wo cacountcr op
position to this txjlloy from these who declare
[ tint if wo enUir Into reciprocity of tnido
with ono country wo must do so with nil
counties mid thus Indirectly bring nbout com
plete free trado. 1 do not sou nny logic In
this and I nmsuroof the fact that It will not
prove whit is predicted , "Wo may enter Into
reciprocity \ \ Ith ono nation because wo llnd
nn advantage. In It. Wo nmy decline to enter
Into reclproi Ity with another nation bcc.uiso
wo see no advantage In It ,
Reciprocity Is simply the policy of circum
stances , to bo determined favorably or ad
versely acconlhiff as Its operation may make
or lose for us. To say because wo enter into
reciprocal relations with ono country on ono
thing wo must enter into reciprocal relations
with all countries on nil things. Is to
my mind as absurd as to say
that If I buy n horse today I must necessarily
buy a drove of nssc.s tomorrow. All object
ions of tint kind arc , I am sure , unfounded
and will not stand the test of argument on
practical trial. Our people do not realize
the great fact that if specie
payment Is endangered in this
country It Is likely to bo endangered by our
present system of trade with the Latin-
American states. The few millions of gold
thnt have gone out of the country within the
last thrco months have created uneasiness in
certain quarters as to our financial position.
It Is very extraordinary thnt the
loss of these millions from the
bunks in Wall street should bo
accounted so serious nn event , when wo hnvo
lost a much larger amount during the same
period from the condition of our trade with
countries south of us. without exciting the
least observation. When our merchants mid
bankers eonio to thoroughly appreciate this
fact wo shall receive aid nnd Influence In the
reform of our trade with n quarter which thus
far It has boon impossible to enlist. "
The large audience listened with the profoundest -
foundest attention , nnd the speech met with
grc.it approval.
Hon. William K. Mason of Illinois followed ,
endorsing in nn enthusiastic speech the prin
ciples of reciprocal trade. Tlio meeting
closed with an earnest speech by Henry
Cnbot Lodge , advocating before the people
the federal election bill nnd warning the
voters thnt the government must protect all
its citizens in the right to vote.

In the Speaker , eulogizes Dolllnger and Newman -
man as two of the most remarkable men of
the contemporary Christian church. Each ,
ho says , gave his heart to the purifier nnd his
will to governing the universe. The construc
tion of Dollingcr's was simple , of
Newman's complex , requiring moro to
bo written about. The cardinal
was n subtle , far-reaching genius , the shad
ing of whoso thoughts were like countless
ripples of the sea. Ho stands In no invidious
rivalry as a man of prodigious learning. Re

the auti-bomltlc movement raged in Germany ,
evidently for the purpose of making Germans
ashamed.
