have thus far prevented any other lawess acts.

TIE NATIONAL BANKS.

WASHINGTON Sept. %, 1893.
Since there Is so much Intentional mystincation OF
everything relating to tho national banking system
few facts-plan unvarnished truths-bearInQ upon
the subjec. cannot DO out OF place at the present
time.
There are In Congress not less than three perhaps
many morey national bank presidents-Mr. Senator
A. @. Cstte, of New Jeysey, president OF the Corn
Exchange National Bank Of Philadelphia; Mr. Rep
rcsentative James r. wilson, president Of the First
National Bank OF Fairfield, Iowa; Mr.. Representa-
tive Daniel j. Morrell, president OF the First Ma
ttonal Bank Of Johnstown, "a II cannot
be supposed that Congress would grant especial
privileges to banking houses presided over By It's
institutions ~ an Illustration OF the system. The
Treasury ring organs say that the national banks aid
MS zee. Take, for example the First National Bank
OF Johnstown Pa, Of which Daniel J. Morrel, N. g.,
IL President. II has deposited here IN the Treasury
Department to secure circulation, $780, 900 Of i've
twenty gold bearing registered bonds, drawing six
per cent interest annually In gold from the peoples
drew sixteen and onehal per cent interest in cur.
rency, tax free. or equal to twenty per cent When
gold Is 81 so they OF course bear nine per cent inte-
rest tax free, or equal to twelve per cent for Won
must count the tax exemption equal from three TO
four per cent. Besides these fav0rs In the way Of
enhanced rates Of interest the bank receives from the
treasury Department $4,000 In bank notes, without
interest, for circulation
In other words, Mr.. Congressman Morrel's Ma
tiona banking Association brings 500, 900 Of bonds
here and deposits them in the Treasury and takes
e54,OO0 away. The difference remaining IN the
Treasury Is therefore but 10000, currency value
which constitutes really the entire aid rendered the
government BY the bank, and for which II receives
annually $4,000 in gold, tax free, equal to $4,000 10
currency II you place the average premium on gold
at nfty cents and the tax exemption at three per
cent.
wish to be very careful not 10 misrepresent this
natter for remember one of tho HRRALD's invara-
bic rules is never to make misrepresentation. Let
me therefore repeat the above statement by quoting
printed tabular form now before me, and prove Its
truth by one OF the sharpest lawyers 10 the United

The Catholic synod ON PIcnics.

Among other DEGREES issued by the Synod of
Catholic bishops and priests just held in this
city was one forbidding picnics in behalf of
Catholic churches. There is no harm in this,
because these picnics, although they usually
began in fun and good feeling, often ended in
disorder. This is not popularity of Catholic
entertainments Of this kind, for they were, per-
haps, more respectfully conducted than any
others of the same character; but all such
public affairs, where people mix indiscrimi-
nately for the purpose of dancing, feasting and
drinking, have tendency to induce riotous
conduct, and the wisdom Of the Synod in inter-
dieting them cannot be questioned. But have
the reverend gentlemen gone farther and
placed ban on the polka2 This is no doubt
. very graceful dance, and its absence would
be felt severely in our festive halls but If the
waltz is not permissible to the faithful why
should the hardly less lascivious polka be ad-'
mitted9 We hope, therefore, that as the
Synod have adopted so much Of the old Puritan
spirit by depressing summer pleasures upon
the green sward, including Irritation and broken
heads, they have also severely interdicted the
waltz, the polka, the cotillon and the Virginia
reel In the ballroom. These amusements are
odious in pious New England, where all our
morality comes from and people are so en-
ceased with ribs Of steel Of the highest moral
temper that they never do anything naughty.
Why, then, should they be tolerated in New
York, where we poor, weak humans are ex-
posed to the temptations Of the world, the flesh
and the devil2
