Theodore Oilman , the author of "A
Oradcd Hanking System , " has brought out
a now wctlc , "rodornl Clearing Houses"
The object of the book la to present tbo rea
sons why the clearing houses of our coun
try should be Incorporated under a federal
law. A national cleat Ing house Is thn
proper name for ono organbcd under an
act of congress The word "federal" U In
troductory and has reference to the mode
of formation rather than to the complete
organisation. A clcirlng house Is primarily
a tiiisteo for its bank members , Into whose
hands debtor banks p-iy their dues and
from whose hands creditor banks receive the
amounts to which they arc entitled The
author then takes the stand that the cleii-
Ing house has no power to use the money
which thus conies Into Its hands for any
other putposo than to divide It among and
deliver It over to the creditor binks Any
other use would be a breach of trust S me

Hvery court house In the country has Its
retlnuo of habitual loungers , and the Doug
las counlj temple of Jiibtlco Is no exception ,
despite the 127 steps that must be climbed
In order to rinch the bench in the corridors
riders These men are as n rule of ad
vanced nge , anywhere from 50 to GJ years
old They congregate at the court Intiso
to listen to the evidence In spicy trials and
to discuss politics , religion and war Many
of them have a long record of service on
juiles and that probihly gets them Into the
habit of making a loafing place of the cjurt
house
Monday vvns an e\ceptlcnally dull day.
There was entire absence of trials , spl y
or otherwise , the county commissioners were
not In session , and in short , there was ab
solutely nothing In the way of cntertiin-
mcnt for the loungers , except to enter into
a frce-for-.ill discussion on almost any sub
ject that happened to present Itself
An even dozen of grlrrlcd loungers took
possession of the two benches in the corridor
Just outside of Judge Vlnsonbaler's office.
Thcj smoked old-fashioned pipes and talked
"chewed the rag , " one of the colored
janitors bald "The Saloon" was the topic
and with three or four , and frequently half
a dozen talking at ouco , the conversation
sounded something like this *
"Where would we get revenue to keep up
the public schools If we didn't have saloons ?
That 8 what I say , and if "
"Yes , and If one man didn't sell It , some
other would , so what's the "
"Talk about people being robbed In sa

"Yes , and I have heard of people being
robbed at railroad depots and ho'els , but
that is no reason why such places should
not be allowed to keep open "
"Some of the best men I ever Knew were
saloon keepers , and when It comes to help
ing the poor , why I tell you the saloon keepers
ors do more In a minute than a lot of church
people do In a year , so for me , I say "
"I never got the worst of It jet In a sa
loon , and I want to toll jou that In 'C9 , when
I first came to Om ilia , there was a little
fiamo saloon down on the corner of "
"Pshaw , we all know that , for we "
"Many a hungry man has been fed in sa

"Yes , I think myself that the license Is
too hlsh , but then "
"That's right , 1 am not In favor of being
n hog and taking monej from a man Just
because ho Is liberal enough to give It "
And BO on the conversation ran until a
few minutes after the noon hour , when the
loungers ehullled out of the corridors At
the foot of the steps they branched out In
d'fferent directions , and a man who looked
on ns n disinterested party Eald ho would

lirjan nt dinner At this dinner will be
ncarlj all the prominent democrats of the
slate and clt > . There will bo representatives
from up the state , from Kings county , from
Tammany and from the Chicago platform
democrats The Idea Is to turn the dinner
Into n sort of love feast and harmonize all
factions so that a solid and unanimous
delegation may be sent to the next demo
cratic rational convention to votn foi Urjan
This is all well as far as It goes but the
trouble blowing Is over what olllcial notice
shall be taken of Mr Uryan's presence b >
the Tammany organization and the Uemo-
ciatlo club
According to reports there are two plins
under consideration Thu first Is fatherel
by John W Keller , president of the Demo
cratic club , and contemplates a dinner at
the club In Mr llrjan's honor Mr. Keller
said that he would certalnlj invite Mr
Hrjan to come to dinner at the club as bis
gucfit , and If ho accepted would Invlto .1
number of prominent democrats to meet
him The discussion Is as to whether this
dinner shall partake of a formal political
nature or be simply a personal welcome of j
Mr Keller to Mr Ilryan If It is a formal
affair it cannot bo , on account "of the bUe
of the clubhouse , a Hrgo dinnei H can
bo made very Important , however , by a care-
fullj selected list of guests , and the plan
Is to make It a gathering of prominent
democrats from all over the state and the
city to welcome Mi nryan
John F. Cairoll , Mr Cioker's deputj , and
the leader of the Tamimny organisation In
Mr Cioker's absence , docs not icllsli this
plan Mr , Carroll Is Inclined to give the
dinner at the Hotel Sivoy and make It a
big one , with rousing speeches and en
thusiasm galore If this plan Is adhered
to it would partake of the nature of a
Tammany affair bolely and Tammany would
have the credit alone , as Tammany men
would predominate and be In clnrge , whllo
nt the Democratic club Tammany would
have to share honors with othera This Is
the contention , and It was said last night
that money was being spent lavishly in
coble tolls to get a nillng upon the contro
versy from the chief , who Is now In
England
Whatever the decision Is , It was said last
night , a dinner will be given Mr. Hrjan an 1
he will be asked to speak Tammany't > sur

wants him all to lUclf and does not want

WASHINGTON , Jan in 1 ho Interstate
Commerce commission today made pub Ic
Its thirteenth annual ropoit The feature
of the report is the strcng pica made that
congress uphold the hands of the commis
sion by amendments making the interstate
commcico law moro effective The icport
says that the commission a year ago called
attention to the fict that In vital respects
tbo present law has pioved defective and
Inadequate and that until furthei legislation
Is provided tbo best efforto at rcKUlntlon
must be feeble and disappointing The re
quests of the commission for needful amend
ments have been supported by petitionnud
memoilals fiom agricultural , imnufaclui-
lug and commercial Interests throughout the
couutiy. yet , says the report not n line of
the stitulo has been changed and none of
the buidensomo conditions whi"h call for
relief has been removed or moJIfled The
existing situation and tbo developments of
the past year , It Is added , rondel moro Im
perative than over before the necessity fet
speedy and suitable legislation Nine-tenths
of the people know that any rallioid com
panv can charge for Its service whatever It
1 leases and as mu1 as it pleases , without
any real powoi In this comml'-sijn 01 any
other tiibunal 01 court to limit the amount
of fiich charge when complaint is made by
an aggrieved shipper , and they aio sub
stantially of one mind In desiring that this
and othei defects in the statute bo promptly
lemedlcd. Shippers Reneially also have
been practically unanimous In favoi of a
single classification of freights , ono that will
bo uniform for all loads anil all K'ctions of
the country and reasonably stable when es
tablished
shlppeis KiuliMie tlie HIM.
This general public dls = atlsfactlon has
been frequently expressed in resolutions of
vailoiib national organlz.it ! ns and at a con-
fctciice In Chicago last November , attended
by reiiehcntatives ; from a number of m-
tlonal associations of manufacturers ,
met chants and others , a bill embracing tbo
more Important amendments lecommended
by the commlfblon was approved as the
mcasuio whlrh would best meet the require
ments of business and commercial Inter
ests This bill Senator Culloin has Intro-
ducej and the report significantly suggests
whether continued failure to perfect the
legulating htatuto on reasonable lines will
not soon result In an li resistible demand for
the most radical and diastlc legislation
Continuing , It adds "It Is a matter of
common knowledge that vast schemes of
railway control are now In process of con-
htinimi tlon and that the competition of rival
lines Is to bo rcstialiieil by these combina
tions Whllo this movement has not yet
found full expression in the actual con
solidation of lallroad corporations , enough
Ins transpired to disclose a unification of
financial interests which v\lll dominate the
manigement ami baimonlzo the opciations
of llius heretofore Independent and com
petitive This Is today the most noticeable
and Important feature of the railway situa
tion If the plans anadj | forcshidowed
arc brought to effective losulls and othei s
of similar scope are carried to execution
( here \vlll bo a vast centralization of rail
load properties , with all the power In
volved in such fai-leaching combinations
yet uncontrolled by any public authority
which can bo efficiently exerted The re
straints of competition upon exccbslve nnd
unjust rates will In this way be avoided , and
whatever ivlls may result will bo remediless
under e\li ting laws. "
The Increase in railroad buslnrm the pist
yeai bus been so great , the report says , that
many canlers found their equipment In
adequate foi tbo service icqulied Itevomiea
liuieaseil greatly whllo railway failures fell
off The rush of business "contributed to
the Improved observance of published tales
ami diminished the frequency of these
practices which aio made criminal mlsdo-
monnois by statute.
