By the way, our friends of the Davenport
Gazette and Independence BULLETIN have been
especially puzzled and far from satisfied with
our recent explOsiveneSs about the President.
If Hayes don't take warning of present peril
we tell our friends named that before next
winter they will see the Republican party and
ministration outside the party, and the Repub-
licans in the Cabinet out of the Administra-
ton. And where will our two friends named
be standing?-Gate city
We hope hat the above vigorously
expressed prophesy may prove to be a
fancy sketch, if, indeed. it is not so in
tended. We certainly should be sorry
to see the Republican party engaged in
a death and life struggle with the Presi-
dent it has elected, and we do not ex-
pect to see it. But if, as the Gate City
suggests, Conkling, Blaine & Co. should
precipitate such a struggle, it is just
possible that the parties to it might not
be so unequally balanced as is above in
dicated. There might be a large num-
Der of Republicans who could see no
good reason for the war, and who would
not be bul1dozed into a hostile attitude
toward the President. In such case, the
question of outsides and insides might
become a nice one to determine. AS to
the position of the BULLETIN in such a
contest, we trust it is unnecessary to
say that it will be found standing with
that portion Of the party in sympathy
with it's expressed principles, and in ia
vor of carrying out it's pledges of reform
and p~aciication. This may place us in
antagonism to those who range them
selves under the banner Of a presiden-
tial aspirant, and who ignore everything
but the partisan considerations, but the
fault will not be ours.

THE Dubuque Herald feels called up
on to come to the rescue Of Judge Will
son, on account Of criticisms of his ne
glect of official duties in Iowa-thereby
causing unnecessary expense to the pub
1ic-to pursue private gain in Washing
ton. We have not been disposed to
bear down hard on Judge Wilson, but it
is but the truth to say that the Herald's
defense will do him no good. 1t is rath-
er an apology than a defense, and lame
one at that. Even supposing hat the
counties in which the courts have been
adjourned to suit Judge Wilson's con-
venience suffer slight pecuniary loss
thereby, as the Herald tries to make
out, there still remains the principle. A
judge should set an example of exact
performance of duty, and should place
so high an appreciation upon his respon-
sibilities as to let no selfish considera-
ton interfere with their fulflment.

Hayes Title.
Chicago Times

The votes for Governor of Louisiana
were not the votes hat made Hayes
President, and nothing can be more
foolish than the persistent attempt of
the malignants and their weak-minded
followers to establish a connection be
tween the title of the President of the
nation and that of the Governor of
Louisiana. The latter holds his Office
by virtue of certain popular votes, as
declared and counted by the Legislature
of the State. The former holds his by
the decision of Congress-the only pow
er which can convey the title to the Ex-
ecutiye office

THE Cedar Falls Gazette thinks that
if MI. Updegraff had opposed further
appropriation on the State Capitol build
ing, which it characterizes as the big
gest swindle eve perpetrated on a tax
paying people in any State save New
York." the State Register would not
have eulogized that gentleman as the
champion of retrenchment and economy
The Gazette should be careful about in
timating hat the young mar of the Reg
iaster is subject to the faults and weak
nesses that affect our common humanity
At least, it should not break the fact to
him too suddenly.

Mr.. Howe reminds us of the obIiging
mar at the theatre, to whom, noticing
that he had cane, that mad wag, John
Phenix,' said politely, pointing to a
gentleman a couple Of seats in front.
Would you kindly punch that man
up?' The obliging man did so, and
John Phoenix" discovered hat it was
not the mar he wanted, so he let the
puncher-up and the punched-up settle
matters between them. When at last
the puncher-up had apologized abjectly
to the punched-up, he said unto John
Phoenix" who was watching the play
%intently and serenely, Didn't you ask
me to punch that man up?' II did,"
said the wag. "Why?" 20, because |
wanted to see whether you would
Some such sympathetic reply does Mr..
Howe receive when he asks Mr.. Conk-
ling, Didn't you ask me to punch up
Mr.. Hayes?"- Chicago Tribune.

THE worst case of mixed metaphor
we have noticed for a long time, is ina
temperance speech by a young man in
Cresco, reported in the Times. He
said:
II stand before you this evening a worker
for the cause of temperance. A small pillar In
the Temple of Honor, and 1 I'M ready to put
my shoulder to the wheel, and now what we
want is a long pull, a strong pull. and a pull
altogether, for the cause"
The enthusiastic young mar proposes
to stand up as a pillar, to push with his
shoulder and to give a strong and long
pull all at the same time. In our opin-
ion, it cant be did"

National Banks Derive no Benefit from
their Lost Notes.

We invite the attention Of our read
ers to the following questions, pro-
pounded by Mr.. Geo. B. Warne, of this
city, to the Comptroller of the Curren-
cy, at Washington, and the answer. The
correspondence sets at rest a question
that has been mooted in discussions re-
lating to the finances, in this country
and knocks the props from under an
other of the reckless statements with
which demagogues have been wont to
mislead the people:
THE QUESTIONS.
Do the National Banks derive any pc
cuniary benefit from the loss and de-
struction of their circulating notes in
the hands of the people?
1t is charged by opponents of the
Banking system that the Banks make a
great profit from their lost circulation.
Has a single Bank ever yet made one
cent in this way?
Does not the present law provide
that a Bank may close up it's affairs and
go out of business, by depositing a
~greenbaek dollar for every dollar of its
circulation that has not been already
redeemed?
Under existing laws is there any way
under which the greenbacks can be re-
turned to the Bank, and it's notes re-
main unredeemed?
H ANSWER.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF COMPTROLLER OF THE
CURRENCY, WASHINGTON, April l., rs.
SIR:-Your letter of the 29th instant,
asking if any National banks receive
benefit from the loss and destruction of
their calculating notes, is received.
Your Interpretation of the law in the
premises is a correct one. National
banks, when they close up their affairs,
deposit with the T.e.surer U. S. legal
tenders to TIE amount Of their outstand-
ing circulation, aud that money is held
by him expressly for this purpose, and
if any of the National Bank money is
lost or destroyed, the government alone
is benefited.
The legal tenders once deposited for
this purpose, cannot be returned to the
bank making the deposit, but must re-
main with the Treasurer for the express
purpose of %redeeming the notes Of the
National banks making the deposit.
Very respectfully,
j. S. LANGWORTHY,
Deputy Comptroller.

OF course if Conkling and Blaine follow up
Howe's philippe with formal Arrangement of
and separation from the administration, it
makes a final and positive breach between the
Administration and a part, at least, of the Re
publican party. Matt Carpenters sagacious
epigram will then become apparent to all, that
there are Republicans enough for one party,
but not enough for two. In our small way we
have worked and counselled earnestly to keep
both the party and the President from this
diSaSterOuS conclusion of their difference. If
we surprised some of our friends by our recent
swift. earnest and emphatic arrangement of
the President, or his failure to do his duty to-
wards party unity and strength, it was because
we saw the storm coming, and we wanted Its
consequences to be avoided while yet there
was time.-GdteC City.
The trouble with the cute Cty's eff
forts to preserve harmony between the
President and "the party" by which
designation it honors the knot Of Sena-
torial sore heads, of the Blaine, Conk-
ling and Howe stripe, is, that it demands
that the concession shall all come from
one side, and that, the one which itself
declares is right. The demand of the
Senate malcontents is nothing less than
that the President shall make uncon-
ditional surrender of the policies that
the Gote City has repeatedly declared
were not only inevitable, but founded in
wisdom and justice. Our contemporary,
while sill declaring that the general
features Of the Administration policies
are sound and statesmaniike. and the
civil service clean and respectable. new
ertheless, in effect, calls upon the Presi,
dent to abandon them, to disregard his
own and the party pledges, and to virtu-
ally surrender his prerogativc into the
hands of a couple of aspirants for the
Presidency, to be used in the further
ance of their ambitions. And all this.
on the plea of party unity and harmony.
We do not ignore the necessity of party
union and strength, neither do we for
get that the hope of good government
depends upon Republican success, but
we have no confidence in harmony gain
ed by the surrender of principle, and,
unlike our friend of the cote Ciy, we
think that in any conference to that
end the party that is in the wrong,
ought to concede something.

AN anti-policy correspondent at Mad
ison, Wis, writes that in one respect
Senator Howe's speech will help him in

Senator Howe's speech will help him in
that State, and then goes on to say:
His awkward Alterations of humor. his
dawdling in his speeches, and his general fab
biness as a speaker of late years had created
an opinion that the old man was failing intel
lectnally, which was causing him more damage
than he could suffer from all the intrigues of
the politicians. But the terrific phillipics and
sarcasms of this speech. with its frequent Wig
or and eloquence of expression, and it's general
rouI d of hard hits, with its cunning attempts
to re-awaken sectional animosities satisfy ev-
erybOdy that the veteran Senator's natural
force has not abated.
This raises the presumption that
Howe's screed was not original; that
the Wisconsin Senator was nothing but
a fog-horn, and that somebody else,
furnished the wind. Any of the Wash
ington penny-a-liners, with a file of i'm
placable newspapers to aid him, would
been equal to the effort.
