There lm Ih-cu ootitlilcrable specula tion, during tli financial Hurry that ha jiut patted over thl great and rich country of out, aa to what it the reason fur it. Some my it wat a "rich man' panic" other ity it wa caused by orerspcvnlntiiig (whit'h la a good reston), while other give many various causes, but the rent eaue I lot of con fldenye, Then comes the question to anawer, Waiuo there are to many tlilugi it can be laid to, but I am of the linn opinion that it it nature taking her course. Jutt a a houe wife mutt clean her houte thoroughly every year, etc., o niutt the financial world have a clean ing every so often, to get rid of the wildcat banker and gct-rich-qulck liurks, who if left alone for too long a period, would ruin any country or any people. Itut, fortunately, it ha all petted over now, the weak and bad having been culled out, the good left ttanding. It l a thame that such thing niut happen, beraute many Inno- ivnt people are alway caught, yet a inuib greater number were saved from iliu-tcr by the timely declaration of Imnkiiijf holilayt by our Governor. Hut to my point, the danger 1 not yet panted, and it I to throw true light iiKn the rate, to that those who bold it in tlielr power to save the situation that (bi ertii-le l written.

' It is junt s eentlal to have banks a It 1 to have a heart In the human body Tho bank is the heart of commerce and trade, that Kedt the different arteries of our great commercial tyotein, just a the heart feed our body with blood. Jlank are organised for tho purpose of gather ing the money of the country into ttif flciently large bodie to that it can be lined to carry oil our great induatrie which require large sums of money and wliiih furuith labor for the nia&w. No individual hat enough monvy to carry on a big biminett tui-h at our lumber apd nalmon ltidutrif, but by the community having it money all gathered into three or four bodies, these industries can be carried on, on a paying bat it, both to the owner and the laborer. When the fUherman ratchet hi flh and bring thera to the cannery and sella tliem, or when the logger cut down his tree, or when the man in the mill taw it into lumber, he gets hi money but he don't top to think of the many, channel those flith or that lumber mutt go through be fore the money that really comes from it, gets back to the city where he gett bin money for hia labor. It sometimes take a long aa ix months from the time a tA is caught, or a tree is felled, before it reache its final destination and the money for it tt back to its starting place, and it it junt here the banks come in. The laborer must be paid; the can nery man' and miller could not pay lilm until he get his money out of the pro duet, were it not for the banks. The bank forward him the money on hi product to, pay hi men and the bank got it money only after the product reach then' final destination. How many men, anywhere, could carry on their big buxineM, when their pay rolls rim into thousands of dollart weekly, if they had to wait six-months for their money? None.

Elder Succeeds in Beaching Sea Over a Bough Bar The Numantia and City of Panama Still is Port The Northland Returns From Bar Notes. SAN FRANCISCO, Dee. 13. With shriek that rose up high 4 v above the ahrill and awful howl- ing of the hurricane, a tortured whale rent the night air for six long hours as it vainly strove to 4 vomit the knot line and rotator of the schooner J. IL Weather- 4 wax. which it had swallowed. 4 The disturbance in the interior 4 economy of the monster which 4 swallowed Jonah -was not a cir- 4 cumatance compared to the 4 4 frightful agony suffered by the 4 4 one which came along from 4 Eureka with the Weatherwaxas 4 the knots were surely and safely 4 4 reeled off in its ailmentary canaL 4 The Weatherwax took 12 days 4 to come down from Eureka to 4 this port and part of the delay la attributed by Captain Ooster- 4 huis to the mad struggles of the 4 4 whale in trying to disgorge the 4 rotator?- According to the log of 4 the vessel a monster whale was r 4 ' found to s have swallowed the 4 knot line and rotator at the 4 stern of the vessel. For hours the monster screamed in agony 4 at the schooner, forced along at 15 knots an hour by the storm, caused' the rotator to inflict aw- ful internal"' wounds on the 4 leviathan. Death ended the suf- fering of the whale shortly after the line ' was cut by a tender- hearted sailor.. The above dispatch was yesterday re; ceived through the Associated Press service, and is published verbatum. "The shrieks that rose high above the shrill and awful howling of the hurricue were but whispers compared to the groans of anguish emitted by the marine edi tor, when he received it. , The dense ignorance, of matters pertaining to the sea, displayed in the telegram stamps its sender as a tyro at the business. Every one knows that a whale is a fresh water fish and will not bite, even at a bald headed joke. Anything "as free as the air" to be rented by a whale sounds like a country boarding house at a summer resort instead of a sea yarn, and by "ailmentary canal" he must have meant the Panama canal. From thed number of knots that might be reeled off in six hours it would be supposed that the iwatchermacallit . must have been all tied up. Webster says that a rotator is a "revolving reverberatory furnace," and ; this is the best thing the sender Of the dispatch has done. It certainly must have been a hot thing to act as he claims it did. The a-wful story of agony has affected the marine reporter' mind to such an extent that it is a question who is the craziest. The Numantia it still anchored in the harbor, awaiting an opportunity to pro- attempt will probably he made today. The British steamer Co mo which haa a (food cargo oi train, will orobaNr arrive down early today. She goes to St. Vincent, Cape Verde Islands, for or ders.' ': The Geo. W. Elder succeeded in cross ing out to sea yesterday afternoon; v though the bar was rough. ' There waa little new to report along the harbor front yesterday. The wires from North Bead were down, and aha only new obtainable, from the mouth of the river, waa from the togs re tun ing last night Nothing was reportei except the crossing of the Elder yester day. The grain fleet from Portland has commenced moving and in A few day there will no doubt, he plenty doing from up the river. The bar is still very rough, and is expected to remain so for a few days longer. It is thought that when bar conditions improve quite a lumber of vessels, of all varieties of rig; will enter the riven. eeed to sea. The City of Panama haa not as yet crossed out to sea, and will remaia ia ! port until conditions are more favorable. The steamer Northland returned to the Callender doc): yesterday after aa unsuccessful attempt to cross out a Thursday. She started out, but finding the bar too rough, was compelled to give up the attempt. The captain and passenger are growing impatient hot must submit to the conditions. Another The steam schooner Yellowstone which was loaded witi lumber, at Prescott, ia due at any tin from that point. The' steamer Washington, Captaia Nason, is due down from Linnton, this morning. She has a load of lumber and general cargo and is reported as having 35 passengers. tThe British ship Wavertree left Port land, yesterday, with 120,309 bushels of wheat.
