The Banner has progressed. 1t admits
that ''the complaint is not against the con-
yention system" In thus progressing,
however, the Banner has departed
from It's candidate Car Congress, as
well as from its own very recent utter
ances, though we believe the Banner does
not believe consistency to be worry yalua-
BILE jewel. Just week ago 1t said sThe
convention system is no more odious In Ten
nessee than elsewhere; ard everywhere
those who use and enforce it are sinking
under the public ban" 1t Joined certain of
its exchanges in stigmatiEing 1t as ga sys-
tenn which has done more than all other
causes combined to corrupt and democrat
lie political life in this country;;e as "the
most gigantic fraud on the people ever in
vented and perpetuated by the tribe of
demagogues;" as ''the parent Of all gigantic
frauds upon the people that prevail" Pro-
gress.

The Railroad Mania swfndIing the
People.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25.-The Super
visors last night passed two ordinances al
lowing the people to vote q ten million
dollars donation to the San Francisco and
Colorado Railroad Company; also two and
half millions to the Central Pacific Com
pany for constructing bridge across the
bay thirty miles South Of San Francisco, at
Rawenswood. They were served with 3
notice Of an application for an injunction
from one of the district courts on the COM
plant Of citizens who charge that the Su-
pervisors have been bribed for three hum
dred thousand dollars to pass these ordi-
nances, disregarding their sworn charges.
The Supervisors proceeded to take final
action. A legal Investigation will be
made.
The supervisors also rejected odinance
allowing the city to take $S,000,00O stock
in the thirty-fifth Parallel Railroad. Pub
lie sentiment appears almost unit against
these proceedings, and from present ap-
peances both propositions win be voted
down by the people, a vast majority ofwhom
would vote for the parallel project if sub
mitted, as the only one that promises the
Independence Of San Francisco from the
Central Pacific domination.

A CORRESPONDENT OF the New York
Journal Of Commerce propounds the fol.
lowing inquiry:
"a and B are doing business in New
York. A owes B $1,000, and gives a
check on a New York bank for the
amount. B owes his correspondent at
Baltimore a like sum and RENTS AS
check to him. The Baltimore corre-
spondent sends it on to Chicago, whence
It's sent to New York. Two DAYS after
the date OF the check the bank fails.
Who suffers the loss p
The journal says that the trouble all
came from the action OF B, and he must
suffer the loss. He should have drawn
the money instead of sending the check
to Baltimore. II the bank had been
good for several days after his Balti-
more correspondent received the check,
so that in the ordinary course OF collec'
ton he might have obtained the money
by depnsi.lng il in bank for this pur-
pose, B might have transferred the
responsibility to him. But as it stands,
B must make his remittance to Balti-
more good, and cannot come back on
A, if the check continued good for two
DAYS.

From the Morgantown CONSTITUTIONAL
Capital Removal.

The citizens of Monongalia county
have never allowed their souls to be
exercised by the Capital question to
near 30 great an extent as have they Of
many communities OF the State, vet
they undoubtedly do possess an opinion
upon the question. If we mistake not
the utterances that have come to our
care, the decided popular inclination in
this county is in favor Of removal from
Charlestoal We believe also, that it
our local population had to name
the locus ad quem, the place to
which the removal should be
made they would say to Grafton, yet
they are lot at all disncIined to
Clarksburg. and would, we think,
mnch prefer that the Capital be located
at Wheeling than that it remain in the
unattsinsble regions of Kauawhs couu-
ty. We hope to see the Legislature
grapple resolutely with the question
this winter. Collateral considerations
should have nothing to do with the
decision OF the main issue. Ifthe friends
of removal, who are undoubtedly in the
majority, cannot agree upon point to
remove to, can they not, at least, agree
TO remove temporarily to Wheeling for,
say, term of five years?
