Colby, ex-Cnniuliuu cabinet minister, who has returned from an extensive trip through the United States, suvs that the defec tiveness of ttie United States national bank system is responsible for so much of the depression that has been notice able of late. The system does not meet present requirements, the banks being precluded from giving the necessary ac commodntions to move crops, etc., hence the many failures that have been ex ploited. The silver question was an out come of the lack of banking facilities adequate to the needs of the country. He says he lias information that Prcs ident-elect Mckinley has given carte binuelie to a umcago Danker to prepare a scheme, which, if acceptable, will be worked out bv the secretav of the treas ury and submitted to congress.

Sport Without Danger to Ho round Only In Such (iimics us Croquet or Squat Thr Compara tive Cases. The annual protest iigaiust the rough ness and brutality of football us played in American colleges and schools was so ig-orotis at the close of this year's aeiison that the friends of the gunie tire (.ouiinjr forward with iactstoshowth.it it is no more dangerous than any other :jrorous exercise or game, nml they Cii bicycle accidents, shooting- acoi- lien Us am! drowning while- sailing- or sl.nthig to show that the record of foot bull is not open to serious criticism ;is an exceptionally rough runic. In a late issue of Harper's Weekly Caspar Whit ney mentions his ten years' exclusive study of amateur sport and its dopelop ment, and his extensive acquaintance with football players, adding: "In all this time I have never had n friend nor even an acqunintancp who was killed or permanently injured by football. On the other hand, 1 have an acquaintance who lost his eye, and one damaged for life playing polo; four friends have been drowned by the up settingof n sailboat, two drowned by the overturning of a racing shell, three drowned while swimming, two while skating.twokilledinhunting, one by an an infuriated giizzly bear, the other by defective rille; one killed by the care less hundlir." of a. shotgun, and one killed by one of those didnt-know-it- was-loadcd fools who wus fingering a revolver. Several friends and as many acquaintances have been killed and sev eral lKiilly crippled while riding or driving horses." Mr. Whitney says that in 20 year he has been able to trace only six deaths di rectly to foot ball, two of which oc curred this year. One of these deaths was that of Itert Serf, of the Doano col lege football team in Kansas. He died from injuries received while playiugthe University of Kansas team at Lawrence. I in that state, on. November 14 last. A j Xew York representative of the now journalism declares that Serf was killed in a mass play, aud was picked up un conscious inter a scrimmage, i hun- eellor Snow, of the University nf Knn- as, has written n letter giving the facts about the death of young Serf, who was only IS years old. Chancellor Snow savs: Speak of the Kansas eleven, the lightest man in the team, weighing about 150 jiounds, had the ball and was making an end run for a touch down. He had a clear field for the goal, when Serf, who was playing full back, ran to tackle him, nnd as the result of a too high tackle was thrown, striking the ground with his head, just as Speak carried the ball over the line for a touoh down. The real cause of Serf's death was his being out. of condition. He had been injured in n previous game, at which time he had been car riedoll the Held unconscious on account of an injury to his head. He wus laid out during the first half of the game with Kansas, and the referee and others, members of the Kansas team, protested against his being allowed to continue iu the game. He should not have been allowed to play at all." Chancellor Snow then makes' an im portant suggestion. He suggests that an "additional ollicinl. to rank with the reieree and umpire, a medical adiiser, be appointed, with full power to remove from the game any man of either eleven who is clearly not in condition to con tinue the game." The chancellor also notes that the three men of the Kansas team who were reported "dangerously injured" were not more than slightly injured. He adds: "I have no doubt that.nn investigation of the entire list of those reported dan gerously and seriously injured v mild show a general exaggeration of the ac tual condition of the players merf lioned." Mr. Whitney supplements this by the duelartion that, in all the guinea that Harvard, Yal, Princeton and Pennsyl nnia. have played there has never been ti death. These games have been the hardest played in the entire country. He also declares that there is no record of a permanent injury in any of these games, and that the most serious acci dent in any of them was that of a broken breast bone. The man who met with the accident is strong and well to day. Mr. Whitney says that if wo wish to have sport without danger we must confine ourselves to croquet or nr snn-it i , v v - tag, or pleasure of that grade Sun. . -r i -n ',urs V V . .
