CHICAGO.

Chicago is nice place. It is the para
disc of incapables and fools for Office.
There seems to be fearful dearth of COM
petent men living there, or else they are
entirely kept under by the gross and in.
ferior elements. We don't say this of our
own motion, we simply take Chicago at its
own estimate. Their own press says this
is their condition, and they ought to know.
Before the election, yesterday, the Times
had classification of some sixty candi-
dates. 1t ranged the whole lot under three
heads, as follows Fair to frst-rate, y
Choice of evils" Bad to damnable, +"
giving the names of the aspirants for Office
each in its appropriate column. The first
category is very brief, and of the candi-
dates, considered as a whole, our discon.
tented contemporary sternly says, They
are bad lot-an almighty bad lot.
1t will be somewhat of an interesting
study,Ito those who have the. leisure, to looh
over the list of the successful parties ant
see under which category they fall. Judg
ing, however, by what Chicago usual.
does, it will be perfectly safe to place abou
nine-tenths of all elected under the hea'
of bad to damnable," without MAXIM
any further inquiry whatever.

Couldn't Deadhead.

A delightful incident Of the recent con-
vention of the nationals of Illinois was the
announcement when the assembly was
called to order that the small attendance
was due to the refusal of the railroads to
carry delegates at reduced fare, Denounc-
ing a grinding monopoly for not encourag-
ing the practice of deadheading which
has already been denounced-this was a
remarkable piece of work, even for an
Illinois greenback convention.

Knox County Democracy.


From the Galesburg Daily Press, we
learn that on last Saturday the Democratic
Convention of Knox County appointed the
following persons as delegates to the State
Democratic Convention of the 18th inst. !;
NJ. S. Barnes, Thomas Mckee, John
Sloan, Robert Detherage, and A. c. Clay.
In speaking of the sentiments of the
Knox Co. democracy the Press says;
There is no room for third party on the
currency question, and the organization of
a third party can serve no purpose but to
weaken and draw off the greenback votes
now massed inside of the democratic
party"
The Indiana Democratic platform adop-
ted In convention presided over by ex-
Governor Hendricks is their accepted
creed; and that corporation with them is
the only practicable means of realizing the
currency reformer's hopes is self evident
proposition TO John Sherman and to every
other we'll informed politician with an
ounce of brains. In the days of Jefferson,
Democratic craftsmanship pre- empted'
and has ever since occupied the whole
ground on the side of the laboring and
producing masses of the country as against
special privileges, monopolies and en-
croachments of chartered combinations o.
capitalists. The traditions and instincts
of the party have kept it aligned with tn,
cause of the people and in continued con
fict with schemes for the undue develop
ment of the Money Power in connection
with Legislation. The man who refuses t
act with the Democratic party now, be
cause he cannot trust it on the none
question, may be a very good currenc
reformer at heart, but he has not enoug
political acumen TO see that he is praC
tlcally promoting the success of job

reform,

The Dean-Field Contest.

This was contest by Massachusetts
men in regard to a seat in the House of
Representatives Of the National Congress.
1t was finally settled by the House adopt
ing by one majority the resolution of the
majority of the Committee on Elections
declaring Benz. Dean, democrat and con-
testant, entitled to the seat. The vote of
the House stood 1913 yeas and 1913 nays
and the Speaker then voted in the affirm.
alive, and Dean was at once sworn in.
Gen. Ben Butler was the only republican
who voted for Dean while Messrs, Gutter
of New Jersey; Hartridge, of Georgia;
Henry, OF Maryland; Herbert, of Alabama:
Potter, OF New York; Rea, of Missouri;
SteDger, Of Pennsylvania; Walsh, of Mary
land, and Williams, of Delaware, we're the
democrats who voted for Field. The case
turned mainly on the point as TO whether
the result should be ascertained on the
count of the returns made by the United
States supervisors under the act of Con.
gress or on the returns made under the
state law. The former elected Dean and
the latter elected Field
Of course all good republicans are ex-
pected to cry out as with one voice, that
THE action of the House was one of the
grossest outrages ever perpetra:ed." 1t
happens however that the republicans
have heretofore been very "unscrupulous"
themselves In the matter of giving con-
tested seats to their own party friends, and
an examination of the Congressional record
on this subject would be instructive TO
some of those who are SO ready to move
heaven and earth with their injuries in
case democrats succeeds to an Office
which they would like to keep filled with
good republican. The republican party
has exercised remarkable ingenuity in
getting up returning boards and other
political devices to perpetuate their power.

are concerned, the contest depended en-
tirely upon the construction and applica.

NATIONAL BANKS.

The report of the cong stroller Of the cur
rency presents full aud interesting informa,
ton as to the national banks. The number
IN existence on October lst was 2053. The
amount OF their circulating notes Outstanding.
including those IN liquidation, was S-s2B AZ
Il9; the capital invested was S466, l47, 435;
the surplus fund and profits were $50, 50, :
y93i the loans and discounts were $3.50, 52l, -
This system OF banks, though OF recent
growth, and adopted as an experiment af.llI
the necessities developed b toe evil war,
has, under wise infringement. become the
most important business agency IN the ccGa-
try. Though still under t5ial and suijzct at
all times to the discretion OF congress to dis
continue and limit its eXis tence aud opera
tons, 1t mag be fairly claimed. as already es-
tablished by experiment, that the system Tos-
sesses certain advantages over any other here
tOiore existing IN this country, and possible
only with a national system.
EIrst-The security Of the bill holder from
loss through failure OF the bank.
Second-Ihe rapidIty and certainty Of the
detection and prevention Of counterfeitinC
from the tact that the notes are engraved,
printed, and redeemed at the treasury depart
ment.
Third-The frequent ard careful examina-
ton Of the banks, and the publication of the
detailed statements OF their condition.
Fourth-Uniformity and free circulation of
the notes th-ough0 1t the United States, with
out respect to the place OF their issue.
Eifth-The admirable provisions by which
failing banks are placed in liquidation, and
their assets cheaply and promptly applied to
the payment of creditors.
These and other advantages derived to the
public from national system o. banks over
a State system. seem to be fully demon
strated, and, though irksome aud apparently
hard on the banks, are benefit and security
