SAMUEL SIDNEY Is Prepared To Do All Kinds Of OUii Leate cOrdcrs.At No. C18 N. Market Street. THE Kansas Glob A. WEEKLY Published By Colored Men And In Behalf Of OurRace.

Thought IuiinIwI lr lh MW ur ut a Cincinnati Ault i There are certain unwritten as weft as written rules In the bauklug bust ness, and ono of thrm is that the ofll- cer of a bank, who control the dJt position of the funds of the bank, sholV not use thorn for speculative) purpose Legally, the money in a bank does not belong to the depositors, but morally and in good conscience it does, ttl there is an impliod contract between tho depositor) nnd the bank that the latter shall use the money placed them fr legitimate huslnesH purposes. Tho failure of tho Fidelity National Bank of Clnriuunll for tomo $0,000,000 Is a striking commentary upon th danger of Intrusting money to an in-atluition whose oHion'S have bcont seized with tho mania for speculation. In response to tho demand of the Bank Kxamiut-r for statement, the Fidelity Bunk fiirr.it.licd one showing a bulmoo ou hand of $1, ICO, 000; but when ha called for a view of this money he found that of it was represented by a Icnd-pcncil mcmorandqyv bearing tho Mtnea ot WiLhire, KckerT nnd nothing move; nnd it is said that WUshlro wwd $1,000,000 of tha bank's money, pud that collaterals for other tonne wero hypothecated to New York and cliKw-hcro. It Is thought that WiMiiro was in reality acting for Harper, tlio view-president of the bank, and that lie did do! not roally borrow tlio money, but allowed his name to boused to cover tip Harper's doings. Thofniluro of tills bank has its lesson, for similar institutions elsewhere' whose officers aro twing tho money ah their control for purposes of speculation.

So long us they are on too right aido of tlio market thoy nan keep their tracks covorod; but onco let Urn tido turn r.iul it sweeps thorn away to ruin and disgrace. Wero this nil, no one. would caro. If a reckless speculator goes down, ho gets and deserves no-sympathy. But it is not alb Wbetv too ruin of a bank is brought about in such a way, its fall drugs down hundreds of perfectly innocent people who nro entiroly guiltless of speculation, and whoso only fault has been over-confidence in tho integrity of tho oflW cers of tho bank.

Legitimate business is paralyzed, bankruptcies ensue, and an enliro community is shaken all because of tho vice of a few men in-whom the public lias bad confidence. It is simply tho height of folly to liw trust money to any bunk whose man-' agers or prominent officials are given to speculation. It is ns foolish to giv tho custody of ones funds to a doroteo of a faro-tahlo or a monte-hank, and expect him not to stake those fund upon tho turn of a ca Speculators-and gamblers aro exchangeable terms, differing only in degree, not in kind? and of the two toe money of a third! person is probably safer in the hand, of a professional gambler than in those) of speculative bank officers, for there-is sonio sense of honor among the. gambling fraternity, but among defaulting aud embezzling bank official there is none whatever.

CARELESS NURSE-GIRLS. Wl rrnt3 Bhoultl lio-p YlgBaaS on Their Doing A young lawyer, taking a short cut to dinner ono hot summer dfiy, passed through a dfarepatoWe street plentifully supplied v4to groggories and second-hand clothing-shops. In front oi ono of the latter lie saw a stylish perambulator, woll furnished with snob' fleocy robes nnd embroideries as am lavished upon tho children whose fathers can (or can not) fiord Ik Bn from tho midst ot tho luxury earns? wails of agony, which touched the sympathetic heart of tho lawyer, who ww a father of a few mouths experienesv As lie drew near to investigate, whufi was his horror nt beholding his owa child whose beloved face, totally unprotected from tiie sun, was red with-hent nnd ineffectual struggling. Tha father adjusted tho baby and the babys' parasol, qnletcd its cHea, and, realising tout Flora Flannlgan, the nurse, einsft be near, ho withdrew to await her a pS poorauce. Ho waited fifteen minutes; Then, with great anger swelling his breast, ho trnndled his first-bOvi; home; leaving Nora to endure the sliioek ot an apparently lost charge ns best the! might.

One dap, hby and nurse were both token sick With similar symptoms. Nurse was sent lo her mother for care, because two siefe people wero too many for that busy houso. In a few days two well-devstJ oped cases of small-pox alarmed thsi respective homes. Fortunately thsi end was not tragic, but there wertl many weeks of quarantining fathe deprived of business, children i school, nil ot society, besides the aw4 fnl anxioty and suspense consequent upon the presence of the loathsom disease.

Our New Yorker asserts that ho has had applicants highly recommended, who could not, unaided, wrilo acceptably tho tioto required hy this di rection. Such things demand a certain amount of tael, taste, knack, gumption," which many rapid ivritcrs do not possess, and perhaps could never acquire.

Iu truth, business men scarcely expect young short-hand writers to write any thing of importance without dictation. But here, again, if we may trust our new Yorker, a largo proportion of young girls aro incompetent. Ho Bays a girl is of little uso to him unless she can spell Buenos Ayres or Seringapa-tum without stopping lo look it up in the office gazetteer.

Aotna WbalffMima A it Ins fa rmr Who Aro UsU with ChUdroo The farmer who would liko to educate his boys in tho profession be has chosen must do so practically oa well as theoretically, lie must have them in tlio field with him, not merely to show thorn how ho docs a tiling, but to havo them try tlieir hands at doing it, lie should explain why this or that is do no, and endeavor to interest them in the work.
