nan. THE REPTBLICy

Every day brings additional illustration of
the completeness of the triumph of the Re
publican majority of France over the tempo
rary, yet therefore all the more desperate
combination of the three hostile factions. 1t
is Just fortnight, to-day, since President Mae
Mahon, after Batbic's utter failure to construct
hybrid Ministry, was driven to accept
without reserve, the conditions imposed
by NJ. Dulaure; and already the political
atmosphere of France is cleared the
insolont menaces of those who would
have forced new revolution are siIenced, and
the people once more see "A prosperous future
before them. The thorough collapse Of the
opposition il another proof of its Inherent
weakness 1t has been able. since last May, to
employ every pTerOgatiye OF the Government
which could be turned to It's scryicc-to dis
turb, and irritate, and alarm-to hold great
nation trembling on the brink of unknown
disasters-yet, 10 sooner has its misguided head
preferred submission to resignation than its
hands fall, wcaponess and pOwerless.
Whatever mlsgivings there may have been
among the extreme Republicans, in regard to
the new Ministry. they must now be dIspelled ;
and thus another important political lesson
will have been taught. The names of Du-
faure, Waddington, Say, Marcere and DE Bort
were good guarantees of an enlightened and
liberal Government; but their course since as
Stunning Office furnishes the best evidence of
their night to the unrestricted confidence
of the party. The immediate suspension

ficas who do not heartily support the Repub-
lie the indications of broad, liberal policy,
to be pursued with equal firmness and intell-

ment of France strength ut home, as they
have already restored its dignity abroad. A

publicans now control forty five OF tho Coun-

perhaps the most absurd is that deposits in
commercial banks, being little moro than tho
margin between loans granted and checks al.
ready paid, should be treated as capital sub.
Ject to taxation. Apparently, some per.on
framed the Act Of Congress who had pevor
heard Of any other bank than n saw
ings bank, and who imagined that do.
Dosits" meant cash put away for hiding
or safe keeping. As a rule, taxation Of deno.its
in commercial banks is taxation of debts. Rut
the taxation of capital and surplus is if nos.
slDle, even more unreasonable. What Womb

hoId as small capital as possiblel Banks
are, IN one respect, in the nature Of public
servants; they lessen the cost Of production
and distribution of products and in that 70.
spect tax upon them is like the imposition
OF tax by city upon its own water or "a,
works. In another sense, they are depos-
ltorles OF trust funds, and il is 10 the interest
OF the whole community that they should bo
as safe as possible. But the direct fendenov
Of the taxes levied, exOrbitant a they ara
is to induce reduction OF capital, thus maxim,
the banks weaker
Behind all this hostility to banks lea the
notion that they get the best of us by holding
as security for circulation, per cent instead
Of 4 per cent bonds. Some very prominent
persons have INDUCED this notion. But doe,
it make the slightest difference to the United
States whether its 6 per cent bonds are held
by one man or anotherl II a bank sells. some-
body else must buy and hold. What does the
country GAIN or the people, I'm order to take
4 per cents, a bank must dispose Of bond, Of
a higher class, which somebody must buy.
Why should the Government prefer to have it,
high-priced bonds held by individuals instead
Of corporations! Somebody loans money
to the Government; does it make any
difference who loansl The banks are
made the safer by the strong securities
held. If they sell, the effect i, TO break
down the price. On the other hand if the de-
mand for money is great and the interest high,
the banks will get more money 10 loan 10y
selling skies and buying fouTs and also, If
times are hard and debts press, they will. in
like manner, realize money for liquidation.
The most unrc Jung thing in our financial
history is the hatred of banks, because they do
not throw high-puccd government securities
on the market for sale Taxation of bank, ought
to be adjusted fairly and aith decent regard TO
the profits of other property employed IN tho
same business. it is not 50 adjusted now, aud
there is no reason to hope that it will be, 50
long as a Congress exists composed largely Of
regulators. The objectionable crime of the
banks is that they helped the Government
when il needed help.

TlNLNG TILE RINKS.

If one gcts To the bottom of Democratic Opin-
ion as to finances, he finds two motives, and
one is a hatred of National banks. To that
feeling, much of the grccnback excitement was
due. and to that something of the demand for
reconciliation of silver. Ii is n rooted idea,
with Democratic politicians of ordinary intel
lgcnce, that the National banks are in some
way hostile to their party, and this is not
strange, for most of them are greatly inter-
csted in maintaining the public credit. The
annual report of Controller Knox, of which
a very full summary was gwen on Wednesday
looks at the matter from the opposite point of
view. Compelled to accept most OF Mr.. KnoX's
conclusions, we do not feel that the National
banks are in all respects as seriously injured
as he supp0scs. His plea for reduction of tax
alton of banks is sound, but not because the
burden falls upOE the banks; rs matter Of
fact, it falls upon the business community, and
is Objectionable because it is virtually tax
upon the processes of exchange between pro-
Queer and consumer.
The Controller submits elaborate tables TO
show that the tax on banking capital is unjust
excessive and absurdly unequal This is all
true, but il is also true OF the taxes on many
other forms OF property. Can any man say,
for example, why real estate should be the
only property taxed at all in some localities
and in other localities the only property large
" taxed2 Nothing more Illogical and mis-
chieyous has yet been discovered than our
present system of taxation. Its genius is to
grab anything, anywhere, that can be grabbed
easily, without regard to the effect upon gen
era prosperity or local interests, or the deyel-
opmcnt of sections.
The National banks pay, in the chief cities
from is per cent on the capital iii New-Or-
leans, to Go per cent in Albany. Every one
understands that part of the tax is for local
and State purposes, and is governed by local
and State laws, and that another part depends
upon the amount of deposits held by bank
in proportion to its capital. Of all notions,

Mr.. Conover and Mr.. Sharon will have the
honor of CHASING themselves with Democratic
regulators. The Southern Democrats VIII
then stand ten 10 one for reputation, ana me
Southern Republicans will have only the vote
of Mr.. Kellogg to save them from as great n
degree of shame. The Western Republicans
and the Southern Democrats will then stand
side by side to assail the Union. Dishonor
will be thus averted not by the manly fidelity
of any party, but by the personal integrity OF
fifteen ont of thirty nine Republicans and eleven
out of thirty-seven Democrats and all that the
Republican party can claim of honor 1t VIII

ident. Does Mr.. Cameron or Mr.. Spencer wish

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
is much nearer collapse than seems to nave
been generally supposed. The recent order
requiring the employees of the Delaware
Lackawanna and Western Railroad to take
their choice between the service OF the
road and membership in the Brotherhood
is shown by a statement in our local
columns to have been issued, not in defiance OF
that organization, but III reality, at the re-
quest of its members, who -. were thus
furnished with pretext for renqulshing the
charters of their lodges. On other roads, the
Brotherhood is losing its members, and on the
Atlantic and Great Western, which Is said to
have been its stronghold, there has been a
surrender of the engineers all along the line.
This Is a trade union whose demise no good
citizen will mourn. 1t is not yet time to forgive
the men who made the great strike of 1877.
The destruction of tire Russian bridge at
Braila is one of the casualties inevitable IN
Winter campaigning. So far as known, the
Car is resolved to continue active hostllitles,
whatever may be the inclemency of the season.
General Zimmerman is to besege Silistra, and
operate generally against the eastern side OF the
ouadrilateral. General TOdcben, fresh from his
great achievement at Pleyna, is to assail the
west of the quadrilateral, directing his energies
mainly toward the reduction of Rustchuk.
While these operations are in progress, the
Russians propose to renew the invasion of Rou-
melia. The Czarewitch is to cross the Balkans,
at probably, the Shpka or Trojan Pass, and
descend into the fertile plain which leads
toward Adrian0ple. simultaneously with this
movement, General Ghourko will press
forward to Sophia, which is barely two
DAYS march distant from the position in West
crn Bulgaria which he has already won
From Sophia to Adlianople, the march Is di-
rect and easy. across flat country abound
ing in herds of cattle and stores of
grain. In this advance, General Ghour-
ko will have the aid Of the Servian
forces, part of which are already bonn
harding Nissa town on the main road
to Sophia This Russian scheme will
neccssitate four armies which will have
to act independently for some time,
until victory enables them to form new COM
binations The great strength of the Russian
army viii warrant the subdivision, since at
every point it will be able to outnumbcr its
opponents.

The Commissioner Of Education has been
collecting facts about the poor Indian, and
finds that he is not so Door in numbers as is
usually supposed. Major Clark, Of the Bureau
of Education, reports to General Eaton, that
the rate of decrease is much less rapid than is
generally believed, and that the theory of
the speedy extinction Of the race must be
greatly modified
The American schoomaster is abroad in a
new direction. The Republic of Honduras is
now to be added to the list of countries which
have adopted American methods of education
and have sought American aid in the first steps
on the new road. The Republic is proceeding
with no little energy. Ten thousand members
of mOnastic orders have been expelled from the
country, their property confisCated and their
buildings turned into colleges and six teach
ers sail shortly from Ncw-York for their mis-
sionary work in this new field.
BY capturing Castle Palanka, near the Dan
ubc, the Seryians have compensated them
selves for the disaster at Yatre. The
attack on Nssa, which they are max
ing also, with fair prospects of sue
cess. is bold undertaking which must
add to their military prestige, and expose still
more the inability of the Turks to defend
Their frontier. For the short time they have
been in the field, the Seryians have done
much to regain their reputation for energy
and valor.
Considering its superiority in climate and po-
stion, this city has much higher rate Of NOR
tality than it should have. Under thoroughly
executed sanitary regulations 1t might become
one of the hcalthiest cities in the world, in
stead Of being, as il is now, inferior in this re-
spect to many cities and towns not half so for
tunate in natural advantages. Chief among
the causes for our high death-ratc, are, doubt
less, our dirty streets; but there are minor oc-
casions, less obvious, but not less worthy Of
attention In a letter published to-day, Chief
