The DOMINICAN ANNEXATION SoHEMR.-
Our correspondent in st. Domingo writes in
the most gratifying manner Of the way in
which the Dominican people express them
selves regarding annexation to the United
States. The votes so far as received from vari-
ous parts Of the island show that the Domini-
cans are most unanimous in their desires to
come under the protecting folds Of the Stars
and Stripes The Dominican treaty was also
under consideration in tho Committee of For
eign Relations in Washington yesterday. and
will be brought up again next week for still
further consideration. So far everything looks
well for the United States in the Antilles.

pickings, just as brave old 'Rough and
Ready" did at Buena Vista, leaving Sammy
Tilden, with his broken Charter and his silk
stockings, like Santa Anna, with his wooden
leg, hobbling hasty retreat for safe quarters.
In other words, while the rough and readys
are smacking their lips and pocketing the
swag poor Sammy Tiiden is left all alone,
gnawing bare bone and affirming that there

ANOTHER MODEL DEPUTY SHERIFF.-A
police officer yesterday discovered q deputy
sheriff taking four prisoners handcuffed to the
Hudson River Railroad depot, on the way to
Sing Sing. The deputy sheriff was so drunk he
could hardly wag, and a stranger had his pis-
tol. The policeman kept his eye on the party,
secured the deputy's pistol, went to Sing Sing
with them and saw the prisoners safely turne
over. What bright lot our deputy sheriffs
are if this one Is d Sample, and what farce a
conviction by our courts must b9 II this is the
usual way Of putting II into execution

THE IRISH LAND BILL was debated at It's
second reading in the British Parliament yes
terday. Mr. Disraeli and Mr.. Gladstone spoke
on the occasion. The measure passed this
critical stage by vote of 422 to III. It may
thus be regarded as safe. 1t is an important
and decisive victory for the Gladstone Cabi-
net, one which the House of Lords will
scarcely dare to attempt to mar by class
opposition.

Tho Nasloaal Baak DIonepelisss aad the
Funding Bill.

Tho National Baak Mcnepeiists aad the
Funding Bill.
The Funding bill has passed the Senate. II
provides In the main for the issue Of bonds at
four, four and half and FIVE per cent, re-
deemable inside Of forty years, for the pur-
pose Of reducing the public debt. One OF the
most important provisions Of the bill COM
pels national banks to take these new bonds
in return for their old ones. This
the national banks do not want to do.
They are not satisfied with the enormous
profits on national circulation, which Con-
gress has been foolish enough to give them,
without the least consideration in return.
They are Unsuitable, and care not who
bear the burden of the debt aud expenses
of government if they do not. The profits
on three hundred millions of circulation
amount probably to twenty-five or thirty mil
lions The interest on the bonds deposited for
this circulation is about twenty millions in
gold. Thus, by the extravagant liberality Of
Congress, the banks make from twelve to
fifteen per cent on their capital In short,
their three hundred millions of circulation is
just clean gift Of three hundred millions Of
dollars to these monopollsts; for they draw the
interest on the bonds left with the Treasury
as security for their currency. Yet, when It
is proposed in funding the debt at lower
rate Of interest to compel these banks
to take bonds bearing four or four
and half per cent interest to deposit
as security for their circulation, they cry
out against the measure. They have been
using all their vast influence in Congress and
through powerful lobby to defeat this provi-
sion of Mr.. Sherman's bill. It is to be
hoped they will fail in the House as
they have in the Senate. The profits of q
national circulation belong by right to the
people and ought to go into the Treasury. 1t
is nonstrons outrage to give them to private
corporations. Senator Casserly, Of Cali
fornia, said well in the debate on tho subject
that the national banks ought to be compelled
to pay large proportion of their enormous
profits to the government. In no other country
does the government surrender such valuable
privilege to private corporations. Even the
Bank Of England, which renders the British
government great services and performs most
Of such financial duties as fall upon our Trea-
sury Department. pays to that government q
large portion Of the profits on its circulating
notes. AS this proposition to make the ma
tional banks take bonds at a lower rate of
interest seems to be the only way of reaching
them or Of making them pay some little for the
extraordinary privileges they possess, we hope
the House will follow the example of the
Senate and make it a part of the Funding
bill in spite Of the lobby and opposition Of the
large number Of members interested in these
corporations.

shall be to smell out the impure meats in the

has nothing but bare bones to gnaw upon now,
and he could bring certificates from every
member of the Manhattan Club that he is an
expert at smelling out ''ripe" meats in that in
