THERE are confident predictions that the
funding bill which has just passed the SEN
ate, at Washington, will be defeated in the
house. It is SAID that the influence of the
national bank lobby will he exerted to the
utmost to defeat the provision which requires
es the banks to change the bonds they now
have deposited as security for their circula-
ton for the bonds bearing less rate of
interest authorized hy the bill.
The provisions is reputation, pure and
simple, and was denounced as such BY sew
ersl republican senators who voted for the
bill.
The continuation of the national banks in
existence when $4,000 900 year can be
saved by substituting treasury for bank
notes, and redeeming the bonds held by the
latter, is plain cheating of the people but
this fact forms no defence for violating the
agreement with the banks, and depriving
them of a fourth of the income derived from
their bonds.
The amount of their profits has nothing to
do with the justice or legality of such pro-
ceeding. II is an act OF dishonor on the part
of the government 1t is compelling nation
a. creditors, by tyrannous legislation, to
take less than is due them. It is an employ
nent of the law making power to amin ilate
rights Of property.

EsPARTERo.

Another candidate for the throne Of Spain
has appeared upon the carpet in the person
of the venerable Marshal Espartero, who,
1t is said, - soon expected N Madrid for the
purpose of looking after his interests in the
troubled sea Of Spanish politics. One might
suppose from the age of this distinguished
parsonage, that he would be more anxious
to secure heavenly than an earthly king
dom, but ambition is the last in6rmity of
noble minds, and the fact that in the nature
of things he cannot live long may possibly
place in his hands the coveted prize.
Don Bsldomero Espartero, Marshal of
Spain and Duke of Victory, was horn at
Granatuta, in La Manehs-the region which
"Dan Quixote" has immorsalized-.in 1892.
He was the youngest of nine children. His
father was a cartwright, and Baldomero
would have followed the same calling pro-
badly, had not feeble constitution seemed
to indicate that he was better fitted for the
priesthood. His theological studies, how
ever, were summary ended BY the French
ihFoslohp III IoUo, Wneu NE enEoiitu himaoii
as volunteer in . company of students
called the Sacred Battalion" was placed
at a military school, where he remained IN
til his twenty third year, when he entered
upon active service as sub lieutenant.
After Napoleon had been driven out OF
Spain. Esparlero Joined General Moriilo 10
the South American colonies, but soon re-
turned to his native country, and In 1883
took a decided part in favor of Isabella H.,
the daughter of Ferdinand VII. He rose
rapidly to high rank, was opposed to Zumal.
carregui in several battles, suffered q nun.
Der OF defeats, but, when the tide Of victory
turned, and Isabellas cause triumphed,
Espartero, in 1S4l, became Regent of Spain,
and governed with fair share OF success,
although much annoyed by the intrigues of
the revolutionary faction. General Natavez
entered Madrid in lS49, and forced Espar.
