Well, the prediction didn’t come true, but very near it. Now, the question arises: Who first made the remark that started this influence lor panic? When any sort of a crime has been committed we first loAk fora motive. If a man has liven murdered for revenge, we find the contents of his pockets in­ tact; if for plunder, his pockets are emptied. If we concede that certain moneyed interests — namely. Wall Street— do not like the President, or, rather, hate him, it seems rea­ sonable that an attempt might be made by these selfsame interests to embarrass his Administration by bringing on a panic, or by the same means c.yise him to bow the knee. The one instance would be revenge, and (he other result in taming the President, eitheit event being emi­ nently satisfactory to an interest ffi tagonistic to White House policies. The outcome we find to be that whoever projected this coup fell between the stools. In other words, the President has not been subdued, and his pockets have not been found turned inside out; but certain large game is found under the deadfall of its ow n setting. There are no natural causes for a panic visible to an observer one thousand miles from the scene of action; the cry of fire did not quite stampede everybody; so, to find the cause of w hat r.

For some time.back we have been Mouse, which we have just con­ hearing of a prospective panic. One cluded in this paper, was novelized large cities. While we cannot see this play, we have had the privilege of reading it. Following is what the Salem Journal says regarding the drama, which appeared there: Charles Klein’s great play, The Lion and the Mouse, which Henry B. Harris will produce here at the Graml opera house tonight, contains elements of vital interest to all classes of people. One, a portraiture of the octopus of finance, who stern in his altiture to all, even to his wife and children, is relentless to his enemy, treading under his golden heel all those who oppose him or his colossal schemes. The other is a characterization of a young and beautiful girl, the daughter of the judge who is being driven to the wall with impeachment and disgrace as the result of his righteous decision against the trusts. So that in The Lion anil the Mouse Mr. Klein has given us an idea of the influence of money and politics in the ariairs of the general public today. For the interpretation of the most successful of plays Henry B. Harris has gathered together an exceptionally fine cast and its advent here should prove a most interesting one. Hope for Reorganization. J John Day, president of the De­ positors Association of the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank, and the others who are endeavoring to have all creditors of the bank join in the attempt to reopen the institution, are encouraged to no small extent. The treasurer of an up-state county had $10,000 on deposit in the bank at the time of its suspension. This deposit was secured by bond of a surety company’ which has tendered its check to the County Commission­ ers. The surety company, of course, upon acceptance of their check, will have the claim of the treasurer trans- ferreo to it, and the bank officials were informed that the surety com­ pany was prepared to accept one- half of the amount on deposit in telephone bonds and the other half in time certificates of depo sit. Several representatives of out-of- town depositors called at the bank to obtain information regarding the acceptance of bonds, and after the plan was explained left with the assurance that they would advise their friends to take the bonds. About $10,000 a week is’the average of the past two or three weeks in claims signed up, and the amount outstanding is gradually growing smaller, so that w’hen the few claims not yet signed up are disposed of in that matter something definite can be announced as .0 date when the bank is to be reopened. Mr. Day says that with the re­ sumption of cash payments by the other banks, the outlook is very favorable and will inspire confidence in those who have not signed the distribution papers, as the large ma­ jority of depositors have done. Goldfield Like a Graveyard. Goldfield, Nev., Dec. 14.—Gold­ field is like a graveyard—nothing doing. The soldiers get town leave, take a turn at drinking and gambl­ ing and then go back to their quarters. Vincent St. John has gone to Denver to protest to the head of the Western Federation of Miners against the presence of troops. The power of the union is broken so far as Goldfield is concerned. The fact that unionism has kept the miners out of work for three months of this year is not an argu­ ment in its favor. The mining ex­ perts on the newspapers say that the trouble has just begun; the brokers opine that the worst is over, that St. John left because of the hope­ lessness of the situation, and that other agitators will meekly walk away rather than run the risk of another bull -pen. Of course,among the mines, many are idiotic enough to want to fight in the face of fearful odds. Best on Earth? What?
