THE national banks are preparing to
wind up their affairs and to reorganize as
private banks. The Traders Bank in
Chicago and the First of Sparta have
already announced their intention to dis
continue acting under the national bank
ing law. With the present low rate of
interest which the bonds deposited as a
security for redemption, draw, banking,
under the national act is by no means so
lucrative as to justify contest with ad-
verse public opinion by the banks for
existence. In preparing to discontinue
as national banks, they simply anticipate
Their abolition by congress. The national
banks have good features, not found in
state banks of issue, they have also bad
features in common with these Their
existence was by no means menace to
national prosperity nor grievance which
justified unanimous opposition. But
their abolition Will work no injury to the
interests of the country.

It is something unusual for member
of congress to make any enviable record
for himself during his first term. Ii he
does SO it is indicative of eminent ability.
\ state naturally takes pride in the
prominence of its Representatives where
are assembled the ablest of the land.
Those who are politically opposed to
Carpenter and Doolittle, recur with
pride to the position Wisconsin occupied
IN the senate of the United States
through the eioquence and statesman
ship of those, her gifted sons. 1t is so
to-day with Gen. Bragg in the house of
representatives. Wisconsin, while he is
in the house. is one of the active states.
He is not only a representative Of the 9TH
district, but also representative of the
intelligence of the state. His eloQuence
and force of reasoning while whining
supporters for the principles he advo-
Gates, earn the respect of ali who hear
him for the state which puts him for
ward as a representative man. Webster
and Sumner shed glory on Massachu-
sets which time can scarcely dim, La
mar and Hill are bringing Mississippi
and Georgia within the warmth of rec
ignition. Gen. Bragg is without doubt
the ablest man who looks for seat in
congress from this state. He has dem
onstrated his ability and fully proven
that confidence in him is not misplaced.
He has earned the praise of some of the
most brilliant of our national legislators,
and he will bring his native state to the
front rank in the house.

THoUGH the yellow fever does not con-
tinue to attract the same attention in the
north, its ravages have by no means
ceased. 1t is spreading over the south
and has lost none of it's virulence. The
fever has exhausted itself in Granada.
Every person in the city having been
down with the disease except one man.
Business has been resumed there, and
the terrible experience of the summer
has come to an end. The fever has
reached Cairo and is proving quite fatal.
Memphis still suffers severely, and the
small cities of the south are almost dew
astated New Orleans still continues to
swell the tide of mortality. A daughter
of Gov. Nichols, five years of age, died
on Sunday last There is considerable
suffering from want in that city, as there
is 10 employment for laborers.

THE Kewaunee Enterprise was ingen-
nous enough TO state that it was not al
together pleased with the financial plank
in the congressional platform for the 9th
district. The republican papers of Osh-
kosh and Fond du Lac seized upon the
honost avprasSinn with avidity and the
Enterprise was announced as opposed
to Bouck. There is no paper in that
district doing better work for Bouck than
the Enterprise is doing. The republican
papers of the 9Th and 9th districts are
hungry for crumbs of comfort, and labor
to buoy up the hopes of their readers by
misrepresentation. While despair can
not justify, it will to certain extent
palliate the employment of such means
to awaken some enthusiasm.

Mr.. G. II. HAsKINs, a member of the
Board of Charities and Reforms, who
was absent at the time of the investiga-
ton of the Delevan scandal. now files a
minority report and makes a ringing
protest against the conclusions of the
board Haskins' protest will be as bar
rem of result as those of the papers of the
state which unanimously denounced the
report. 1t is just as well, however, to
keep this matter before the people until
justices meted out. 1t is usually a dan
gerous thing to defy public opinion.
