The leading Democratic Pa
per OF the West or Finance,

The Democratic majority i'm the
next Congress should first propose to
the Senate the repeal of that portion
Of the National Banking Law which
authorizes the issue of currency by
those institutions, and should insist
on the substitution of legal tenders
in their stead. If that Is rejected by
the Republican National Bank ma
jority in the Senate, then it should
amend the National Banking Law
by the proviso that, where the Gov
ernment furnished National curren-
cy to the holders of National bonds,
the latter being deposited as security,
the bonds should draw no interest
while they were so held by the Gov
ernment. Why should the latter
give to the bank notes upon which
they (the banks) draw from tweve TO
twenty five per cent. interest, and at
the same time pay six per cent. in
ltFeSt upon lIese notes. onc Ol TWO
things is apparent. 1t is that all Of
the two thousand millions of bonds
should be allowed 10 be deposited
and receive similar notes, or else the
four hundred s9iliions Of bonds
which now have that privilege
should fuil to draw interest. There
can be no sense, no equity, and no
Justice in such discrimination
against the large majority Of those
who hold bonds, as well rs the popu-
lar classes. We reiterate, no interest
upon the bond upon which special
privileges are given, unless all the
bonds are placed in the same Gale
CORY Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Deceptive small Boy.

Passing by one Of the city schools,
we listened 10 the scholars singing,
"Oh how love my teacher dear"
There was one boy, with voice like
q tornado, who was so enthusiastic
that he emphasized every other
word, and roared, "Oh hoD / Tore my
teacher deoy.' with vim that left no
possible doubt Of his affection. Ten
minutes after, that boy bad been
stood on the floor for putting shoe
makers wax on the teachers chair,
got three demerit marks for drawing
picture of her with red chalk on
the back ofan atlas, been wellshaken
for putting bent pin in another
boy's chair, scolded for whlstling out
loud, sentenced to stay after school
for drawing ink mustaches on his
face and backing the end Of another
boys nose. and soundly whipped for
slapping 339 spitballs up against the
ceiling and throwing one big one into
a girls ear. You can't believe half
n boy says when he sings.

Early Opinion of Railroads

1t is difficult to realize that the vast
systems of railroads in America and
Europe have all been built within
the last half century, and that as late
as 1919, only fifty-five years ago, such
a leading periodical as the English
Quarterly Rerie,o should scout as
utterly absurd !" and laughable"
the idea of "a steam propelled wagon
moving twice as fast as our mail
coaches" Here is quotation from
the Rerie,0 of that date, and in the
light of these days it is certainly
"laughable
1--WE are not partisans OF the fam
tastic projects relative to established
institutions, and we cannot but laugh
at an idea SO mpracticable as that OF
a road of iron upon which travel may
be conducted by steam. Can any
thing be more utterly absurd or more
laughable than steam propelled
wagon moving twice rs fast as our
mail coaches? 1t is much more pos
sible to travel from Woolwich to the
arsenal by the aid of a Congreye
rocket"

The Homestead endeavOrs to ex-
cuse Morgan's Sons, Of Sacramento,
CAL, who, acting as State agent for
the Changers, failed and cheated the
Patrons to the amount Of several
hundred thousand dollars. If the
defaulting firm were not Changers,
would not fhe Homestead now be
found denouncing them as swindlers
and odious middlemen? But there's
the difference. 1t isn't so bad for
Changers to swindle their brethren
as for outsiders to do the same thing.
This is the logic of the Honaestedd's
course.

Parties are the outward expression

Parties are the outward expression
Of the inner life of great people.
To be independent in politics is to
take no share i'm that life. 1t Is to
live political anchOrite. Ii is to be
a cipher in the nation. No mans
individuality is so powerful that it
can be opposed successfully to the
combined individualities of thous-
ands. The Frenchman who is neith-
er Bonapartist, Monarchist, or Re-
publican; the EngIishman who is
neither Liberal or-Conservative; the
German who is neither for nor
against Bismarck or the Ultra
Montanes; the Spaniard who is
neither Republican nor Carlist; the
American who is neither Republican
nor Democrat, il zero in the poiit-
ical action of his country 1t is
always possible, of course, toimagine
state policy superior to any advocate
by any party; but it is not possible
to carry it into effect until power
ful party is educated up to it and
advocates it. Parties will always
be more or less corrupt. They are
not divided institutions. But the
duty Of citizen towards a party
into which corruption has crept Is
not to leave 1t for light reasons, but
remain and labor to purify il; To
eject from ii the scabbed sheep which
would mar the whole flock. The
Political Archimedes may move the
State to a higher plane of life, but he
needs a lever to move it with, and
that lever party. There is no other.
All this is true of parties in this
country. The Republican and
Democratic parties still live, and the
contest in this county will he be-
tween them and in the contest the
Republican party must win. 1t
represents the genius of America
and American institutions. 1T IL
conservative-progresSive,. lust aS the
Democratic party is conserVative-sta-
tiOaary or rctrOgressive. In saying
that the Republican party il copser-
vative-progressive, we mean that 1t
is not stationary; that it strives To
bear the cpuu&rY ever onward, but
only through the modes and forms
Of law and of the Constitution. Its
face is turned toward the future. 1t
Is not satisfied to preserve our nstitu-
tions intact, It is ever anxious to
improve them, and eradicate all
eXcrescenccs that grows upon them.

The official reports made to the
Kansas State Board OF Agriculture
show that i'm seventeen counties, in
which 15s, 900 acres Of corn had been
planted, not bushel was produced.
Five of these counties produced an
average crop of other cereals, and
can easily relieve the individual
want. The others are on the front
ier, have population Of $4,000, and
being newly populated, are suffering
greatly. The people have neither
clothing nor fuel and are totally de-
pendent on charity.

A late Pittsburgh dispatch an
nounces that u snbterranean fire is
raging under that part OF the city
known as Herron's Hill threatening
serious injury to about 800 acres of
heavily improved property. The coal
was fired by workmen in making
coffee and leaving their fires unex-
tinguished, not thinking Of such a
result rs has followed. II any set
Ting of the earth should occur the
result would be disastrous to mil
lions Of property in heavy buildings.
Efforts will be made to conquer the
flames by sapping and mining, but 1t
will take months, and perhaps years,
to extinguish this mass Of burning
coal, much of which is burning hun
dreds OF feet below the surface.

Generals Sherman and Sheridan
are prominently mentioned as the
probable Republican candidates for
President in 1876. But there is no
probability that either could secure
the nomination if he wished it. 1t
is about as we'll settled that the next
Republican nominee will not be a
military hero as that his name Will
not be Grant. Generals Sherman and
Sheridan have earned well their
proud military fame, and they have
the love and gratitude Of their coun-
trymen. as soldiers they have won
yaureIs enough. Let others have the
Presidential honors. Military heroes
are not invariably great statesmen.

A st. Louis dispatch OF the 10th
announces that at recent meeting OF
the Missouri State Grange, its Treas
urer. C. S. Quisenberry, being called
ON for the funds in his possession,
amounting to twenty thousand dol
lars, confessed that they were inves-
ted in various ways and could not be
realized. He raised four thousand
dollars cash, and has since given the
Executive Board Of the Grange deeds
Of trust on two farms, said TO Do
worth eighteen thousand dollars, and
mas agreed 10 pay the whole amount
by next July. II Is believed that tne
Grange will not lose anything, ana
that Quisenberry did not intend 70

The more thoughtful and candid Of
our readers will find on our fourth
page this week an article upon the
subject OF Transportation aud rail-
way management, from the Nation,
which will prove worth careful
reading. 1t may be supposed to pre-
sent the views OF a railroad man who
makes railroad management his
study and business, and who has
large capital invested in railroads.
He undaCaaands The ease, .ai,d Of
course presents the best arguments
he can for his side. If we are honest,
and want to find the truth upon this
question--or there questions-upon
which SO much has been said and
written OF late, and which are really
Of prime Importance to the country,
we will not haughtily refuse to read
the arguments adverse To our precon-
ceived notions upon the subjects.
The article from the Nation re-
quires little comment; one point
however should be noticed: 1t as
sumes by inference that railroad
companies do not water their stock,
and that they have really invested
the full amount of what they repre-
sent, "a the cost Of their roads and
appurtenances. This is doubtless
true in many cases; but in majority,
or at least large portion of cases, 1t
is untrue.

The Marshall Times thinks the
Daily State Journal has no right to
come into being or to continue to eN-
ist, because of its being the organ of
a clique or ring in the Republican

clique, and persistently insists upon
pursuing q knock-down and drag-out

ton of influence or power in politics,

The Democratic papers keep up
their howl about the third term bus
mess, and declare that Grant Is still
candidate; and they quote from
the New York Herald a silly story Of
a conversation Of the President with
the Rebel Guerrilla Colonel Mosby,
and another with Senator Morril, to
prove that Grant Is determined to be
President for third term or for life.
If their readers are fond OF humbug-
gerry, such twaddle and consummate
lying should certainly satisfy them.
