What objection can Tuft have
to guaranteeing bank deposits?
Does he prefer to see depositors
who got nothing for the use of
their money continue to lose
millions yearly, rathor than to
see bankers put to a little cost to
secure deposits? Tt seems so.
Nothing is more just than that
depositors be secured, and noth-
ing would throw more money in-
to the banks and then into cir-
culation, than this. By all
means let us have such a law.

Biloxi, Miss., Aug. 80.—Gen.
Alexander P. Stewart, one of
the last two surviving Lieuten-
ant Generals of the Confederate
States Army, died at his home
here today. Although in his 87th
year and suffering from the In-
firmities of age, Gen. Stewart’s
death was sudden and came as a
distinct shock and surprise to
his relatives and friends.
The death of Gen. Stewart re
moves perhaps the most notable
character among Civil War sur-
vivors. His defense of Gen. Jos-
eph E. Johnston after-the latter
had been relieved of his com-
mand and the subsequent refusal
of Gen. Stewart to accept the
command because of his friend-
ship for Gen. Johnson has be-
come a matter of history. Grad-
uating from West Point in 1842,
in the same class with Gen. Wil-
liam Ro8ecrans, Gen. John New-
ton and Gen. James Longstreet,
all the force of bis military
equipment and wonderful per-
sonality was set against these
men with whom he had been not
only a classmate, but a room
mate as well.
Gen. Stewart was born in Rog
ersville, Hawkins County, Ten-
nessee, and it waa bis love for
the State that gave him birth
which mode'him a soldier in the
ranks of the Confederacy. In
politics he was a Whig, opposed
to the w ar and opposed also to
secession. When the State of
his birth determined to secede
