The war tn south America.

In the Spanish American Republic of the
United States of Colombia they are enjoying
themselves over charming little war, organ
lied around the problem, Who shall be next
President? This is a problem that some-
times troubles graver people, and was once
the immediate cause of war in this happy
land of freedom so that we have no occasion
to point moral over the wretched political
condition of our neighbors. But, of course,
the choice of Mr.. Lincoln rather than Mr.
Douglas or some other man who might have
been accepted as satisfactory by the Southern
extremists could not have thrown this
country into war unless this event had
found the nation in an excited and
inhammable condition consequent upon
great degree, true of the Spanish Ameri-
can Republic. But in Colombia the
national mind is brought to the point of
combustion more easily than it is here, and
it does not require the deep differences be-
tween slavery and freedom and thirty years
of agitation to produce a condition that
lights up to fierce blaze over a quarrel as
to Presidential candidates. On the contrary,
sectional rivalries seem sufficient for the pur-
pose, and the tendency of the Republic to
split into federation of coast States and O
federation of interior States, with interests
in some degree inimical and each regarding
the other as burden on its prosperity, is,
perhaps the real basis of difference. 1t was
once believed in South Carolina that that
State paid all the taxes, and that if it
should resolutely button up its pockets the
whole North would come to it on its knees;
and if this could happen in country
of con- paratively rational creatures it
is co..s,s ,able that sectional jealous
les may make credible in Spanish
America any political romance put
before the people With this state of mind
assumed it is only necessary to spread in
the coast States that the government will
scruple at nothing to secure the election of
ON interior candidate, and that the coup d dftat
will be its common resource. This makes
necessary the appeal to ''the sacred right of
resistance" and the State assumes at once
hostile attitude, and the federal forces are
sent forward to put down resistance. This
is the condition between the general govern
ment of the Republic and the States of
Panama, Bolivia, Magdalena and Cauca.
Three thousand federal troops are on the
Magdalena, or perhaps already in Panama.
Our own government has properly taken
steps to protect the property of our citizens,
who would otherwise probably be the main
sufferers for wars like this are not bloody
in that neighborhood, and the compromises
of peace early smile on the division of what
plunder the country affords.

their deposits. But if bank locks mp
its resources in venturesome speculations
the safety of the depositors depends on the
success of those speculations, and they are
impelled to make a run ON the bank and
unsettle general confidence at the rising of
every adverse wind. Depositors are entitled
to know what use banks make of their funds,
and they should resolutely shun not only all
institutions that are known to engage in out
side speculations, but all banks that do not
make frequent public statements of their
actual condition. We trust that the recent
warnings will not be lost on the business
public. The State should so far take super
vision of all banks as to compel them to
work like bees in glass hive and if the
community are then fools enough to make
deposits with institutions that 90 outside the
sphere of legitimate banking they can only
blame themselves for their losses.
1t is too early to estimate the consequences
of this great failure, but there is no reason
to suppose it will have any considerable
effect on the general business of the country.
So far as the Atlantic States and the States in
the Mississippi Valley are concerned it is
like a failure in o foreign country, which
touches only the few creditors of the col
lapsed institution. The large and sudden
transfer of gold to the Pacific coast will cause
only transient ripple in the gold market,
because it will speedily come back as soon as
the stress of the local panic is over If the
other California banks are as sound as they
are represented to be local confidence in
them will be presently restored and the in
crease of their business by the extinction of
their formidable rival will make them
more prosperous than ever. The big boz
nanza speculations which the Bank Of
California has been mainly supporting will,
of course, fall very fiat but that is rather
topic of congratulation than regret 1t is
indispensable to a new and healthy start that
everything finds it's true level, and that the
misapplied capital employed in bolstering
up bad speculations be withdrawn for legiti-
mate uses. This failure will contribute to
the general shrinkage of values, which has
been going ON for some time, and when the
lowest point of the ebb is reached the coun-
try will be in a favorable condition for
courageous resumption of the specie basis
1t can never be done with so little distur-
bance as when prices have sunk by other
causes to very nearly the specie standard,
and the next Congress will be blind to the
signs of the times if it does not make the
most of the opportunity.

An Irish Vision.

Those who have studied the history of the
glorious monarchs of the past, when Brian
Boroihme and his brother kings, who now rest
with God, were the rulers of green Ireland,
will remember that it was only when they
began quarrelling with each other, and in
vited the Saxon and Dane to take part
against their own brethren, that the end
came. Terrible was their fate. The old
kingdoms were destroyed. The lands were
occupied by the alien. The royal children
of the OMorrissey and the O'Donohue, the
O'Connolly and the O'Brien were driven to
other lands to seek the fame and honor
denied them at home. They wandered all
O'Morrissey and the O'Kelly will in like
manner bring upon us the hordes of Yankee
adventurers who are hungering for the pos
session of New York. Those who know the
history of this island know that for two CEN
turies these shrewd, unscrupulous, money
loving, wooden-nutmeg carving and cedar
ham, manufacturing Yankees have been cov-
citing this great metropolis. They would
hold our rich places. Already they have
made insidious advances. If their progress
is not checked what will be the fate of those
noble men who for the last generation
have ruled New York? Well may the
bards who sing the woes of the downfall
of the Irish kings record their misfortunes.
Think of that fine procession of statesmen,
sons of Mullingar and Tipperary, no longer
in the enjoyment of rich and high office,
slowly tramping every morning up to the
Fourth avenue improvement to work in the
rocks at one dollar and sixty cents day We
see at the head of this solemn group the Hon.
Dennis OQuinn, candidate for the Chief JUS
ticeship of the Court of Appeals, discerning
man, who first viewed with alarm the
growth of the German population in this
country of ours" We see Denny OBurns, of
Sligo, slowly painting after, his quiet dinner
snugly ensconced in tin can We see the
handsome O'Creamer pick upon his shoul-

Wesee ex-senator O'Brien, the great reformer,

Mr.. Wendell Phillips as ssBloated
Aristocrat."

We print elsewhere letter of Mr.. Wendell
Phillips to the Legal Tender Society of New
York, which is as one might expect from so
ready and practised q thinker as he is, one of
the most brilliant and readable contributions
which has been made in long time to either
side of the financial discussion 1t is very
plain that Mr.. Phillips has taken the trouble
to read, and had of course the ability to
understand, the best writer's on finance The
skill with which he evades the generally
accepted conclusions of these writers is some
thing as amusing as it is wonderful, and the
ability with which he touches the weak and
blundering parts of our present financial
system shows that the advocates of sound
currency have in him an antagonist who will
force them to do, what very many of them
have not yet done, understand thoroughly
their own side of the question.
But while Mr.. Phillips is strong in attack
ing the weak places of his opponents, and
in ridiculing-what deserves ridicule more
than any one thing in which the public is
Just now interested--our present preposter-
Gus financial system, he no sooner develops
a policy of his own than he comes out in
strange colors; for who would have thought
that Mr.. Phillips, the Tribune of the people,
was, after ALL only bloated aristocrat in dis
guise? Here is Mr.. Phillips plan :-'Let
the government stand ready to issue all the
currency any business man wishes and can
give good security for at low interest and con-
vertible into long bonds.
How friend of the people can advocate a
scheme which would make the taxpayer a
mere wretched beast of burden to O favored
class we cannot see. Suppose Mr.. Phillips
plan were now in operation, what would re-
suit? Here are many millions of dollars
lying idle just now in the banks, drawing no
interest, or as good as none but under the
financial scheme of Mr.. Phillips the owners
of these millions would at once cart them to
Washington and require Mr.. Bristow, who is
the agent of the people of the United States,
to pay them interest on all this money. He
would say, II do not need it y but they
would reply, ''You must take it; you
must keep it safely for US in the gov
ernment vaults, and you must pay
us interest for it. We cannot get
anybody else to pay us interest" And
in Mr.. Bristows next report we should
find heavy item figuring as interest for
money which the Treasury did not need; but
which Mr.. Phillips made it borrow" How
would this preposterous favoritism benefit
the poor, whose friend Mr.. Phillips is?
Or, on the other hand, suppose q laborer,
n mechanic, n small farmer wants money, as
so many now do He goes to the Treasury
and states his needs. Does he get money
under Mr. Phillips plan? Not at all The
Secretary replies "We lend money, but only
on good security" That is to say Mr..
Phillips would have the government lend
only to the rich. We do not doubt he means
well but he has blundered, and we confess
he does not cut nice figure as 'bloated
aristocrat."
